The great thing about this thread is if you listen to the Knowledge Fight podcast they do a great takedown of Alex Jones and how he meekly tried to placate the insurrectionists despite agitating for an insurrection for months leading up to Jan 6th.
Trump donor, Alex Jones played key role in Jan. 6 rally
No, that was instigated by the President.

Is it weird that the one thing that sticks out to me the most is this sig line? I am trying to figure out what it could refer to, and each idea seems delightfully more insane than the last:

I'm not sure how much he's involved with Family Guy writing anymore, but The Orville has been pretty clean of anything like that, though there's some back and forth about the Mocklan Baby storyline....

If anything, the Moclan society storylines are anti-conversion and pro-trans allegories. I'm not sure how one could in good faith see it as "back and forth" rather than one side of the argument is made by intolerant fuckheads who have no place in enlightened society, and in fact the show acknowledges this by saying that they're forced to accept the Moclans' bullshit because of the existential threat they can't fight without their arms industry.

I'll say it: Orville Season 2 is good TNG with just a little too heavy a finger on the comedy scale at times, and that occasionally excessive comedy is cheap jokes (a robot hanging around in a sleeveless t-shirt) rather than regressive jokes. MacFarlane has matured as a writer and producer.

And the beauty is that it's irrefutable, because the whole thing is a witch hunt from go, timed to interfere with midterms (haven't seen that quoted but I'm sure someone will get around to making that accusation), to frame Trump for some misdemeanors or the like, and anyone who doesn't agree is surely part of the lying liberal left who would think nothing of taking Trump down at any cost.

If Trump gets the nomination, then DeSantis falls in line and waits for 2028.

If DeSantis gets the nod, then in the worst case Trump slags him five times a day using that ad hominem invective he does so well, and in the best case splits off and runs as an independent.

My favorite is a tossup between the guy who doesn't understand that at the appeals level, there is no jury ("Keep quiet. Appeal. If he gets descent judge and jury then it won’t stand.") and the guy who thinks appellate justices control the lives of trial judges ("This should be absolutely spiked by the appeals court, and they should go so far as to put the Judge in prison for proceeding with this farce."). I'm not sure the second one is meant as an exaggeration, but rather that the poster believes that they can hold the judge in super-contempt or something for erring so badly.

Just a whole lot of nonsense of all different colors and stripes throughout most of the posts, with a healthy seasoning of Gravy SEALS nonsense (calling for a revolution over this). The only ones who are talking sense are those who are regretting that Trump can't keep his big mouth shut and/or hire competent help.

Nothing about the rainbow flag that I saw, but one of the first results: Biden WH returns POW-MIA flag to main flagpole (under the US flag), reversing a Trump-era policy change. Today I learned their orange demigod showed his respect for the US military by moving the POW-MIA flag to a secondary flagpole. But that's all right and makes sense; Trump likes soldiers who weren't captured. And the dead ones are losers and suckers anyway.

Dude, I remember back in the early 90s I was walking through a middle class mall in the Dallas area with a couple of younger cousins and it got really loud all of a sudden, and all three of us joked about it. This was over 30 years ago in an enclosed public space in a state where pot is not yet legal. Yet you occasionally get a whiff of the jazz cabbage when you're out and about in California, and you felt the need to post about it? This is some quality pearl clutching.

I know the subtextual payload of the statement is supposed to be, "Look at the rampant depravity of this Blue State Hell, where we're one step away from cats and dogs sleeping together," but, umm, good on you, I guess, for not staying 24/7 in your fortified underground Freep bunker!

From the Rolling Stone story just linked (can't go back and see who was quoted b/c I closed it and am now out of free views): "They are a means of virtue signaling. It’s like wearing a medical mask in public after Covid."

"After Covid" sounds like the money shot but it's not for my recent experience.

I was just in Dallas for a month for visiting family and then for an unfortunate family tragedy. I caught a cold near the end, and so I wore a KN95 mask while sick around town and on the flight back to Seattle. The amount of mean mugging I caught from people was astonishing. Occasionally here in the Emerald City you'll catch a side-eye with a mask (which I wear whenever I take public transport), but this was night and day. I'm surprised no one said anything to me about it, but I only wore it for about four days total. If it had been a week, then by probability I should have gotten comments...

Freepers (and a lot of unthinking conservatives) -- you're just wearing that to virtue signal!

There are educated Americans who defended -- at the time! -- Russia's invasion of the Crimea because it had only recently been ceded to Ukraine and, in terms of realpolitik, Russia was not going to stop until they got a warm-water port.

I have a feeling that some of these wingnuts would say the same thing about the current invasion of Ukraine: it's traditionally Russian territory that's in active revolution and must be retaken. You wouldn't have let the South declared independence and gone their own way, would you?

I am skeptical of people pretending to have senior moments to excuse the president being unable to recall facts about his own life, thinking he's talking with dead people etc, but since the rules obligate us to assume good faith I am instead suggesting that if that's happening to anyone here they should get it checked out.

I'm honestly surprised I have to say this but:

I think the president should be able to remember the names of world leaders, whether they are alive or dead, and important dates.


The mixing up of the presidents of Egypt and Mexico, as well as saying Mitterrand for Macron, seem to be slips of the tongue. When talking at work among colleagues, or even presenting to clients, I've made similar slips. Everybody does it; past presidents have done so regularly.

He does seem to be a bit more doddering lately, though, and some of the allegations around dates are concerning.
