    Really?

     

    i agree. guy was a monster with the deep ball but inconsistent at the short stuff. i dont think the coaches ruined his accuracy on 5 yard hitch routes. 

     

    if the coaches fig out how to run lee evans go routes successfully every single play, hed be in the hall of fame and have a collection of rings.

    I said how he ran. Not what he’s doing. Trump ran on a Mexico will pay for the wall. That’s obviously not what happened. 


    Running up to the election the right liked to post Rasmussen approval ratings for Trump:

     

    https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/biden_approval_index_history

     

    Biden is at 51 percent on Rasmussen a very right leaning pollster.


    Biden from a polling standpoint with Rasmussen has been doing much better than Trump.

     

     

    your right. you did say that.

     

    listen im not a trump fanatic. but i also see a clear difference in the way the media handles the two. they seem to not really care. i mean children in cages was top story for weeks. every move trump did was maticulously scrutinized and im perfectly fine with holding power accountable. but biden is in just as bad or worse decisions/positions and the media and everyone else has gently gone to sleep. 

     

    i havent and dont plan to but when the media goes from orange man bad and not old man bad. thats a issue that will always effect approval..and the stories that are important.

    He shows empathy, which a lot of people certainly hope for in a leader.  

     

    i can see how some get comfort from words. i prefer actions. i pointed to some that are negative imo. no empathy to for the small buisnesses that are still locked down. i think we need some empathy for those who were victims of governance that sentanced their parents grandparents to death. this wasn't a accident as they hid the info and pulled their own loved ones out. seems quite news wise for the a major coverup that knowingly costs thousands of lives.

    Acknowledging the Armenian genocide & agreeing with the prior admin to pull out of Afghanistan are worthy of praise in my book.  

     

    i agree with this but so is making peace deals. actions not words..again

     

    the rest you seem level headed about and i can accept wait and see approach. i hope he does well for this country. my main gripe is the people who say there is some great changes and night and day.

     

    im just not seeing anything of substance yet.

    At worst he ran a, I’m not a dumb ass when it comes to COVID like the current admin campaign.

     

    as far as i can tell he has

     

    1) implemented a 2 mask rule 🙄

     

    2) advocated extended shutdowns in states while condemning those who wish to open..statistics show they are in no worse and many cases better, so they were right he is wrong but still continues.

     

    3) opened the border and has thousands of untested illegal alien coming into the US while other nations are blocking their borders due to covid.

     

    he provided less relief then trump did.

     

    where is the good? id say he wears the mask or masks (even though he does not have to as he is innoculated) to be a example for others..thats it.

     

    he doesnt even have news briefings about any of the issues from 2) 3) and even passed off 3) to somone that hasnt even visited the states that have been declaring a CRISIS for months.

     

    im down to hear what im missing.

    BTW that's as far as I got with your post.  ;)

    Couldn’t agree more. That’s exactly what they want, and they’ve convinced a lot of mindless non-criminals that they should want it too. We’re witnessing a sort of liberal Stockholm syndrome. The thinking is so insane , it’s amazing anyone is agreeing with these radicals. So that girl should have just had a knife plunged into her neck, and the cops watch then take statements while preserving the scene? How does that make sense? I can imagine the calls for firings and lawsuits because they were negligent in their duty. 

     

    thanks, i dont get to many responses on here. i think i put things in ways thats hard to argue against but i also drone on in long paragraphs. 

     

    people want to change police interactions and just say POLICE should do this. or that. some i agree with, reforms are good. the issue is i don't here a lick about the public also needing to adjust.

     

    want to change interactions. have a strict standard for the public as well as more training and accountability for BOTH sides. if they want to change the rules where every police stop requires hands out the window walk backwards and become cuffed at the trunk. ALL people white/black/ purple learn this and the public holds each other accountable same as the police. this can change where at least we have clear lines of who is putting who in danger. right now its litterally the wild west with everyone doing their own thing, police having different protocols and reactions ect ect. leading to alot of actions both sides can point to say look how they got out of hand. yeah but...

     

    im willing to be treated the same as everyone else even if it is a inconvenience. if people are ok with being searched at airports how is this different. that seems like the standard everyone is asking for, equality. but only asks of one side to accomplish this task even when both lives are on the line and situations differ in every single call.

    I'm not talking about the taser, and I don't think there was enough time in this situation to tase her. His clip carries 15 bullets. The first 5 could knock a person for a loop without killing them. Same caliber, bit not heavy metal. 

     

    i think the empathy people feel for situations like this needs to look at the other side. if that was your daughter..the one that was a moment away from being stabbed with a knife. would you want a police officer protecting her in any other way then he did. anyone who answers yes is not being truthful. the fact this incident is being debated is crazy. a police officer is rarely in the position to prevent a person from imminent life threatening danger and if they are still condemned when they do then i don't see them leaving the car. even if your idea did do something. which i dont( watch the video i posted above) its not 100 percent regardless and that 6th squeeze in high intensity situations will have them prosecuted REGARDLESS of situation.

     

    get ready for police to become nothing more then investigators after the crime and inform the public. we think its this guy. go take him if you want justice. that's where this is going.

    This is a lie.

     

    In Columbus, Ohio, an officer responding to a call about somebody with a knife shot and killed Ma’Khia Bryant, who appeared on bodycam footage to be about to stab another girl with a knife.

     

    The media, which can always be counted on to have embarrassing takes when the topic involves guns, is back to doing their thing. Katie Pavlich spotted another example during the Columbus police chief’s press conference:

     

     

     

     

     

    for the shoot in the leg less lethal crowd take yourself out of your comfort zone and watch this. its very important.

     

    im not a fan of steven crowder comedy but he brings points that should not be ignored. if you would like start at 2:50 and ends at 4 if you dont want added commentary.

     

    its not easy to watch, i hope she survived. but it shows you the truth about the situations that you are talking about.

    It's like everyone's forgotten the after school knife fights of the good old days.

     

    Whole thing is a tragedy, kid did something stupid and got themselves killed. Maybe things could of gone different if he tried something different maybe but there was no clear and obvious solution in that split second window that make his decision look unreasonable.

     

    is she talking to the people who called them?

    this is where i truley get angry. how the left just allows these race vultures to edit the story and even if they are caught red handed nothing happens to them. did they want that girl to get stabbed to death? if she was murdered the leftist would scream at him for not stopping her and want him held on charges for that as well. that racist just stood by while a young black woman was murdered! but that victims name would not be known.

     

    i hear alot of talk about big chain store destruction as violence is the language of the unheard. 

     

    tell that to secoriea turners family, or david dorns, or Horace Lorenzo Anderson's to name a few. do they even know these names? black people are being killed in the area that has been turned into george floyds memorial near the street named after him! no outrage. no demands to end this type of violence. its just crime, deflect, whatabouts, ignore, from the very people who say no one cares about black life.

     

    https://kstp.com/news/shooting-kills-1-near-george-floyd-memorial/6033788/

     

    so why do black lives only matter in a certain set of circumstances? why are people who perpetuate a false narratives allowed to try again and again giving story after story, edit after edit until the lies sticks and people are full of rage. 

     

    hundreds apon hundreds of black lives are still being needlessly lost and the real racist intitution is the one that has trained the public to not care about them at all. leftists, you are holding that one up quite well.

     

  11. i think its time to give places like Portland and Minneapolis exactly what they want. they win.

     

    abolish the police. completely.

     

    the police departments should go on strike and stop responding to all calls. the public believes in ACAB right? they are getting no support from their leadership. the DAs are cutting anyone loose regardless. the media is demonizing them. the public is not standing up for them and has voted this in to begin with. why are they half azzing it? we will defund ooh wait murder is skyrocketing come back so we can tell you we hate you...please. enough!

     

    let the activist defend the innocent. let social workers put their resumes in. let mobs take over chops and chazes with no worries of issues from police "invading" to solve the crimes that take place like in the past, and present. let them explain to the families of the innocent victims they ignore its only crime or put their lives on the line daily if they wish to help them. lets see them stand up to power when that power becomes the cities gang violence. if a business gets destroyed leave it. its only property is what i hear, so it shouldn't be missed by the community it serves. free things for everyone until there are no more things.

     

     hopefully none are put in a situation they die but if they have to defend themselves they can deal with the hindsight mob rule of what they should have done in split second situations.

     

    who knows, maybe it will be a testament to the rest of the country and positive changes will be made in this utopia free from racists institutions and capitalist. maybe it will be war torn chaos. i think its time to find out. why are we arguing and fighting so hard to stop people from what they want. all we ask is that you stay there, don't bail on your ideas or community you fought so hard for if it does not turn out how you envisioned. show us all what it was you were trying to tell us whether it ends good or bad. 

     

    either way, it will be a important lesson for the country.

    Oh you think Trump isn’t going to drive the process for the GQP?  So cute.  Try harder to distant yourself but no one in your party had the balls to do so.
     

    Keep trying to convince us but your hitch to Trump won’t win - even on a good night.

     

     

     

    well whatever you think i answered your question so i think its fair if you answer one of mine.

     

    can you name a single thing that biden has done since he has taken power that you disagree with without resorting to a trump reference?

    You keep convincing yourself that anyone associated to Trump has a chance in helll

    as stated in my first response. every reply so far contains a trump reference. every one.

     

    at some point your going have to look at the present. look at what's going on today. 

     

    i could research all the "kitchen sink" facts and links but i think we both know you don't care. its alot of work only to get a trump meme as a response. 

     

    like i said. people are coming around and seeing what's going on. if you ever become one of them maybe we can have a actual discussion.

    Didn't even watch your cute little video.

     

    But I can't help but laugh at your confidence. Six months ago you Trumpholes were over the top confident Trump would win in 2020.

     

    Your opinion means nothing... and you're kidding yourself if you think any "liberal" will vote for your boy Ron.

     

    Keep dreamin.

     

     

    there is so much hindsight to go my friend 

     

    kids in cages turned into:

    kids in cages. sleeping under bridges

    being sexually assualted

    crammed side by side in covid camps forcing biden to....build the wall

     

    defund the police has ended up in anarchy killing innocent people, most are disadvantaged minorities.

     

    liberal governments that are in no better position covid wise have been found to murder their most vulnerable. crippled their economies making them come up with new ways to tax their people. again hurting poor people. good thing poppa biden floated them a loan or it would be far worse. still coming as they have made no changes to their budgets.

     

    instead of the "attacking journalism" we now get " ignoring journalism"

     

    i could go on.

     

    that's the thing about false narratives. you can't hold up the lie forever. too much data being accumulated.

     

    people are waking up. its ok to join them. step onto this side. all is forgiven. i have so much more to show you.

    Yeah ok we heard the same shittt about Trump the past four years.  
     

    Good luck 

     

    you referenced him again!? 

     

    what did you think the funniest line was in the video? 

     

    mine was. "the same people who laughed at trump for suggesting digesting bleach are the ones who used cleaners to wash their fruit for over a year"  🤣😃😄 common thats funny!

     

    thats not you is it? what percentage bleach do you use? 50/50? be careful out there.

    Link?

     

    I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to be offensive, but any platform can shut a user down for being offensive. 

     

    Bottom line is that we're trying to control these private companies; maybe even want the government to control them, but that is all sorts of wrong.

     

    Facebook is driven by what their consumers want and that's the way it should be. Their decisions are based on money. So if they're mass-blocking certain stories like, it's because it affects their bottom dollar.

     

    sorry you may have caught me in a edit. what was the context for that quote you want a link for.

     

    speaking of which. 

    edit: so i see what i wrote. you want a link to what is expected of websites when it comes to its operation as a platform?

     

    heres the first article i found.

     

    https://www.city-journal.org/html/platform-or-publisher-15888.html

     

    offensive is a pretty loose term. if you think a company should ban people for this then its free reign to do as they please. that can defined as anything really.  

     

    as for the rest read my previous response. more input and conversations are a good thing even if we don't agree.

    I think an underlying issue a lot of my friends here on the right have is missing a basic understanding of law in the US.

     

    When I say protected groups I’m referencing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its various expansions. The protected groups are what I listed before and party affiliation is not one of them.

     

    Your second paragraph misinterprets the first amendment. We have a freedom of speech. Freedom of speech means freedom to express oneself without government repercussions. The first amendment does not apply to private businesses and allowing people on their platform to speak.

     

    We can look at the wording: “Congress shall make no law . . .  abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.“ Twitter isn’t Congress.” If the government stepped in and said Twitter you can’t block conservatives, that would be more of a violation of the freedom of speech clause them Twitter blocking conservatives.

     

    To your point, then get mad that it’s a monopoly and wrote your Congress person to look at monopolistic practices. It’s not a freedom of speech issue and Twitter is fine blocking whoever they want.

     

    i am mad they are a monopoly which is why I'm speaking out about it. ill try to leave that part out.

     

    you seem to be overlooking my point. terms of service are made as a agreement to the users. you saying the largest platforms in the world can arbitrarily pick and choose what people can or cannot speak about even when they are ABIDING to that agreement is not a good stance to take imo. not only this but you also think its ok to administer the rules everyone agrees to unfairly? when the buisness is information that is incredably dangerous stance. your giving companies that have special protections by the government zero standards or ethics to abide by and seem to be offering corporations complete autonomy. 

     

    under your line of thinking you are perfectly fine with companies discriminating for any reason really, as long as it is not strictly covered by the law. so if a black man walks into a restaurant that has agreed sneakers are ok. a owner can kick him out because he doesnt allow "nike" sneekers. the black guy says hey there are five guys wearing nikes right there. sorry as a buisness i can do want. id like you to know you are not being kicked out for your race..its our new nike policy i decided on. whats that? you are talking about abortion at a table. please leave your no longer welcome here. shall i go on?

     

    these are pretty extreme examples but so is blocking a story by a established publication to prevent the information from reaching the public during a democratic election. so is making death threats to children for being "racist" by standing in front of a indian. so is allowing advertising for get togethers that repeatedly result in courthouses being attacked and attempting to burn people alive in the building. so is comparing people you simply disagree with  the worst murdous scumbags from germany. all things twitter allow that goes against there very own tos and leads to actual broken laws.

     

    but...free market.

    Monopoly laws are a different issue. Not sure how you’d break up a Twitter?

     

    Id argue Twitters terms of service are more clean and can be accessed easily. Yea, I just googled Twitters Terms of Service and it was the first link: https://twitter.com/en/tos

     

    To echo back to the bakers, they didn’t have clear terms of service. I googled anti-gay baker terms of service and I can’t find them. So I’m not sure how they apply their rules.

     

    Theres also if a person is part of a protected group. Typically we have protected groups of: race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex (gender), sexual orientation, physical or mental disability. Party affiliation is not a protected group.

     

    If you want a bakery to be able to say I don’t want a gay couple to use my service, you should also be ok with Twitter saying I don’t want so and so right wing person using my service.

     

    if you think twitter has clear cut terms of service, are transparent in applying them then you are only looking at the surface. if you have a few hours to kill watch this episode with Twitter CEO jack dorsey. its long but very informative. also note it was years ago. nothing has changed, only intensified. 

     

    watch it or just believe me lol. its right out of the horses mouth which is why i find it credible 

     

    party affiliation is a protected group. its called freedom of speech and its a foundation of this country. there are no terms of service that state if you are conservative we can delete you even though many seem to want to go down that path and have no issue when it happens.

     

    lastly you are missing the point i made. if i want a cake and there is one giant cake store that denies me that also has power to prevent me to get cake elsewhere while also lobbying my credit card to cancel me if i order one while also hiding info on any competition that WOULD be willing to make a cake. i think its a problem.

     

    i dont think you understand how much power these tech companies have and how they are using it as a collective.

     

     

     

  19. 16 minutes ago, Backintheday544 said:


    Then it’s an issue with monopolies not an issue that companies can choose who can or cannot use their services.

     

    So should once you become a certain size mean everyone has to be allowed to use your service? 

     

    well whatever monopoly laws should be enforced and these guys should be broken up first of all. second they dont have any clear terms of service or are not transparent in how they are applied. it seems to be at will.

     

    when you deal in the assumption you are a platform then you are just the host. anything not illegal is protected. if you are a publisher you can pick and choose what you want...like they are doing but also responsable for whats published. they get both. claim platform but act like a publisher. 

     

    its pretty sick its been allowed to get this far especially when the parler takedown was found to be false. people still dont care 🤷‍♂️
