Horowitz's DOJ IG Report
TakeYouToTasker replied to Deranged Rhino's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Then you've answered your own question. The report will be released when the work towards securing air-tight prosecutions is complete, and not before. Otherwise, all you're getting is the first scenario I presented. -
Horowitz's DOJ IG Report
TakeYouToTasker replied to Deranged Rhino's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Well, that depends on what the goals are: Are you hoping that the goals are the continued weaponization of our intel services against political opponents, this time by Republicans, plunging us permanently into banana republic status; or are you hoping that the work being done leads to air-tight prosecutions, putting an end to the !@#$ery, and restoring the Republic? -
Tom Wolfe was incredibly insightful, and his writing was top notch. Among my favorites are: The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Mauve Gloves & Madmen, Clutter & Vine, The Bonfire of the Vanities , and A Man in Full. I'd recommend all four to anyone searching for a good read. RIP, Tom.

It's for the hand fighting techniques. -
Trump and Russia

If McCabe is actually a Russian operative, as Greg now believes, this becomes even more problematic; as it means the former administration, along with the Clinton campaign, conspired with enemies of the state to help infiltrate our intelligence services and to rig a federal election. That's the very definition of sedition and treason, and it's not hyperbolic at all to call for a gallows to be constructed. -
Watch parents screw up their children...

People have the right to believe anything they want, and to identify as anything they want. However, belief in something does not make it true, and I am comfortable saying that indulging people in their fantasies, often in these sorts of cases tied directly to mental illness or emotional trauma, does them far more harm than good. As such, while they have the absolute right to their thoughts, they do not have the right to mine, nor to have their thoughts override empirical data or biological certainty when addressing societal norms and structures. -

I'm painfully aware of the arguments, and I disagree with them strongly. The conflation of gender roles with gender itself is problematic, as it's derivative from a flawed intersectional model of a ruthless power hierarchy (hierarchies exist, but are not defined exclusively, or even primarily, by power). Self-identity is even more problematic, as it rejects biological imperatives and empirical data in favor of anecdote and individual experience, which is, by nature, limited in it's ability to properly define the world. -

It's post-modernist bull ****. -

Gender is not a societal construct. -

McCabe as a Russian operative is going to require clear evidence, Greg. Curious how you view this changing the final food chain, and who the big players are, and their direct roles. -

Fully agreed. -

It's even more fun now that we're attempting to institutionalize the rot, offering "non-binary" as an option on birth certificates. -
Still no cheerleaders for the Bills?
TakeYouToTasker replied to MC Hamburg's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The only reason I can see for not reinstating the Jills is that everyone they bring in for interviews is engaging in poor vaginal hygiene, and they don't want to go through the public rigor of having to redistribute the handbook. -
I did as well. Perhaps a more shocking thread title might have been: "Margo Kidder was still alive until today!" But on a serious, more appropriate note, RIP.

"That’s funny because nobody would be throwing rocks if they don’t show up to lands that don’t belong in in the first place. They incite it by showing up. They don’t belong there. At all. Stay on the opposite side of the wall. Stay in your illegal settlements. " This is what I was referring to. It's bull ****. Every time Israel has given any ground to the Palestinian people they rise up and do violence. They throw rock because it is possible to kill Jews, who they do not believe have the right to exist, with rocks.
-
This is complete bull ****, and ignores history.

Yes. War. Just because they lack a good deal of modern weaponry, and are dwarfed in military might by Israel, they are not to be excused for waging war. If they continue along these lines they should be swept into the sea. Ghandi's path is their only way forward.
-
I would posit that you won't see it for what it really is. The Palestinians must learn to operate in their realities. They are not where they are because Israel did something to them. They are suffering as a result of their own actions. They insist on engaging in war, and they are losing. Badly. Further, Israel is performing a just function in slaughtering them when they engage Israel in war. Ghandi's path is their only way to peace. Their current path is one to justified extinction.
-
While there's some validity to that, I'd ask that you consider economic impacts on the value of human life in a society.
-
The Israelis are not obligated to endure casualties, mass or otherwise, before eliminating hostiles. End of story. If Palestinians don't want to die then they shouldn't engage with the Israeli military. The rules of engagement have been changed.

When teenagers band with other protesters, and engage in violence against a military, they're going to be among the casualties. And, no. That's not what your facts lead to. That's where you're trying to steer the narrative with several cherry picked facts, taken completely out of context, in order to bolster a lie. As an aside, is your screen name intended to be ironic or deceptive?

When a society ascribes moral value to victimhood, and grants it social currency, don't be surprised when people begin to manufacture it.
