Vital information left out of reliable media reporting. The horrors of X on display.

Finding needs "community organizer" on a resume. Instant front runner candidate.

This back and forth discussion is working so great. You've listened and responded to my point with great attention to detail. Productive! I don't know how I can be any clearer. But maybe I can create an X account and then post my thoughts in a tweet and then link here since you seem to pay close attention to those. Your gripes have been the same gripes but with a different flavor since the dawn of PPP. It's never going to change. It has absolutely zero to do with X posts. As I stated in my first response to you, you are more than welcome to leave if you don't like it. Or you can stay and be the change man. It will work! As to why there are only about 12 regular posters here now? Ask the 25 or so who left about five years ago to create their own board.

Again. SO WHAT? There's 12 regular posters here. So what if someone linked to another take to add from X? It's not as if it's not easy for anyone to distinguish between X posts that are individual opinions and those that are news articles that you can dig deeper into. And guardrails? 😂 You're talking about guardrails as if the legacy media didn't nuke those same guardrails, grind them up and spit on it's grave.

Trump understands the reality of horse trading in politics. Elon does not. Would Trump love to do what Elon wants with the debt? Absolutely. And if Trump is the dictator the left says he is, then he would. In the end this is a spat about Congress and their constant pork put into every bill.

How dare anyone post X links! And often they are LINKS to actual news articles btw. Sometimes people like B man and myself are kind enough to quote the article to save those arduous clicks too. Would you have been better informed by all of legacy media telling you not to believe your lying eyes for FOUR YEARS or maybe following real journalists that you can find on X? Again, the rise of X as a news source is largely BECAUSE people grew tired of being lied to constantly by legacy media. They made their own bed.

I believe the Elon / Trump rift is real and that they both have legitimate points to stand on outside of the ill advised spat on public display. Remember that Cruz and Rubio were once sworn orange menace enemies as well. I'm amazed how people are constantly surprised by Trump being the same guy he's always been. This is uncharted territory for Elon. Not even close for Trump.

Is it any worse than parroting what some ignorant goof at CNN or the WH press room tells you to believe about Biden's mental health or the efficacy of the vaccine? Everyone's takes are informed by what they consume in media, X, the scientific literature etc. You're FAR better off these days being informed by X sources, actual X alternative news sources, than legacy media. And it's not even close.

There's a lot of chatter about how Trump wouldn't have won without Elon. I agree. But it wasn't his endorsement or money that did it. If Elon doesn't buy Twitter there's no way Trump wins.

I agree mostly, so it then becomes a question of letting posters lay out their ignorance in their own words or farm it out to those in the X sphere. What's the difference? When everyone became expert virologists and immunologists during covid changed the entire game. When morons who couldn't tell you the difference between IgG and IgM are telling you at the same time that the science is settled and must be followed is when I knew that I can declare myself to be an expert in anything at all.

Reminder. 😂

Hey, you've got Finding behind you. So you've got that going for you, which is nice. You can stick with the intellectually honest back and forth of how reliable the media is and how Biden remained mentally fit for his entire term. A thousand Catturd tweets in a row doesn't begin to sniff that track record of stupidity.

Outside the 12th of never, when was the last time you witnessed a leftist pundit say as a major news story is unfolding: "Not going to lie, rough day for Democrats"

On and off. Sometimes off for months and at least once for a year plus. Also I've not always been a very prolific poster here in the cesspool, I used to post on the main board mostly. It has more to do with you griping about the way this place is like so many have before through the years. It's a gripe as old as PPP itself. You should also know that SDS, the board administrator, has stated that he regrets ever allowing this place to exist on his board in the first place. So I suggest it as a tongue firmly planted in cheek suggestion. This place will remain the same as it ever was and will only change if the day ever comes when SDS decides to 86 it.

There are of course exceptions to every rule and leh-nerd certainly is the exception here at PPP. He's consistently and steadfastly above the mire of this cesspool. If you want some honest discussion Mikie2times I'd suggest going a round or three with lehnerd. Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen him link to X on here.
