Tony, if Bernie had just won the presidency, do you think he wouldn't even attempt an olive branch of any sort?

The words I said myself literally referenced the tweet and said "This sums it up", so yes, that's my bad for assuming people can read words AND tweets and consider them together.

A summation by definition doesn't change the content of anything you said before it. So, if anything, in the best case for you it's not a proper summation for what you said because it said something totally different, but that still in no way changes anything you said.

More accurately, though, it's not like it's saying something terribly different from what you said. The difference is that it only implies an outright lie by claiming a flaw in what the actual situation always was, as opposed to directly stating it's a lie like you and the opening source saying "looks like Biden is breaking his promise of $2000 checks".

The funny part is that the limited perspective you normally get in a VN would make Delta being there the whole time make more sense. Instead we're supposed to believe someone posing as a guy who literally can't move on his own never showed up on camera...somehow?

It also LITERALLY includes the tweet I JUST referenced for the third time!

If you want to respond to the things I say, read everything in my post or don't bother responding.

You include a tweet that doesn't say the exact words you said yourself so we shouldn't disagree with the words you said yourself? You might as well just stop expressing your own thoughts and stick to pasting links if that's the level of discussion you want us to give you.

Tony, your initial post says "very cool" just after the tweet. Your reply after one other person responded covers in great detail why you think it's a lie.

Don't act shocked when people respond to the things you literally say.

The only good thing about the Delta reveal is that on numerous occasions (usually the person who does the betrayal in the initial vote), people talk about how they felt like they weren't in control of their own actions. It seems like this is just referencing the player (as this series isn't above that), but presumably it was actually Delta doing it.

I think arguing over the terminology of if this is really a $2000 check or if really this is Dems stiffing people is equally, as Tony puts it, "Democrat brain."

It doesn't fucking matter. However much the January check is for, they still need to give more aid.

"They should give more aid" and "Biden is backing down from what he said" are two very different things. One is an opinion, the other is a blatant falsehood.

It's not a gotcha, don't know why you guys always frame it like that, just a disappointment.

Anyway, the end.

We don't have to frame anything you say. You start something full of vitriol, like 5-10 people immediately disagree with you, and then you act like what you were saying was completely milquetoast than what you actually said and literally unilaterally claim the discussion to be over because you're tired of hearing how wrong we think you are.

All the talk of $2000 was definitely before and instead of the second stimulus of $600 was passed. Hard to stop saying something that they haven't been saying at all.

My favorite Dilbert Dude moment was the time he said he wouldn't be voting for Trump anymore, then 15 minutes later 'changed his mind' because people on the internet were mean to him

To be fair, who could have ever expected people on the internet to be mean?

So CNN was muted in the background where I was, and apparently a Congressman is talking about how some GOP Congressmen are too scared to vote for impeachment because they're afraid of what will happen to their families?

When you literally declare yourself as part of the revolution hours beforehand, trying to get the revolution to come to you and later lacking more thorough intel over public communication is not the best defense, to say the least.

So even if you latch onto the theory that most people didn't know what they were doing the whole time despite so much evidence of communication beforehand, there's not much reason to think they're going to be in the dark about this less than 2 weeks later.

Swinging back to election stuff, since, if everyone forgot, we just had one.

Warnock says he will still continue his pastor work on Sundays. Is that something he is allowed to do? I legitimately don't know.

As long as he's not holding services in the Capitol or campaigning from his church I don't see why you would think this would be an issue.

Looks like you pivoted. I have been hard 100% since the beginning on this. No normalization or defense coming from me.

I'm not entirely sure what you think I pivoted to.

You went from initially saying, at my most generous interpretation, that isolated assault incidences should be viewed as just as bad as what was happening in that video. You're definitely not doubling down on that at least, but now I'm not really sure why you lead with it given the direction you're taking this conversation now.

You're actual opinions don't seem to be as atrocious as I thought you were initially getting at, so I'm willing to stop this exchange for now if you are.

Like, I will probably get warned for this post, but if you watched that video and didn't think they had justification to fire their weapons there, then I don't know how to see on your level.

Yes, if they fired their guns there quite a few lives would have been lost by the shots and the ensuing trample. But, this was a violent attack on our nations capitol and the justification was plain as day. It's sorry to say that lives being lost in that number would be justified, but you are also talking about a literal terrorist attack and violence against people defending our nations capitol.

Fucking what?

No seriously, I'm not mad by what you said here right now. I just have no idea why you pivoted to this.

Corrik7 posted...

I did watch it. It's fucking disgusting. There is no dispute to that. I don't pick and choose when violence on cops is acceptable or not. That's the problem with you. And feel free to block me. I could give two shits if someone is going to act like violence against cops when at their own political ideological riots is not as bad as violence as others. It's ridiculous.

Every single person who stormed the capitol should be charged with terrorism. Every single one. I don't give a fuck who they were or what their reasoning was.

Okay, let me ask you this first. What is the point of playing the "a guy/some guys assaulted a cop in multiple protests" card right now in comparison to a coup attempt that you (rightfully) consider literal terrorism with actual deaths of cops? Because it's so incredibly imbalanced that there is no reason to bring it up right now as anything short of a "both sides" defense.

Admitting that these are not equivalent doesn't make other instances of violence against cops "justified" in any way. Murder and terrorism can be worse than assault without making assault "okay".

"One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land."
-Toad, SMB3

And to be clear, I'm not trying to get you to say that no one ever did a bad thing at a BLM protest. I want you to acknowledge that there is a fucking difference.

And if you are having this little exchange having not watched that video, just stop now and watch it first.

Edit: Or admit you don't want to watch it. I get why you might not, but if you haven't then you need to back down right now.

"One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land."

I never said violence was okay.

But at this point one of three things is about to happen.

• You admit that your "both sides-ism" is completely imbalanced and therefore a bullshit attempt to normalize and/or defend what happened at the Capitol this week.
• You show me some actual evidence that it's not.
• We part ways forever.

Your choice. Ball is in your court.
