SectionC3

That’s an awful lot of hoax there. Do you actually believe all of this stuff, or is that a creative writing exercise?

Hoax. Also, your misogyny is tiresome.

By whom?

Hoax. I’m not bellyaching.

Believe it or not, I don’t want to the guy to be guilty of anything. (Again, I’ll note that watching him get shaved and squirted with a hose would be pretty funny. But I digress.) The reality is that if he did commit a crime of the nature under discussion, he would exposed the country that we all love to harm. That’s really, really bad. So (and I think you’re in the same spot as me), I want the chips to fall where they may, to let the investigation run its course, and to simply follow the facts to a conclusion that I hope reveals that he did not do anything to threaten our national security. But, like you, I don’t think this looks good for him right now.

That seems like cyber bullying to me. I can’t believe that you are allowed to moderate this forum. Hoax.

Completely agree. To my understanding, he’s also helped a fair number of disadvantaged kids get to college. That, to me, is pretty cool. But I think you’re spot on with Trump normalizing a lot of the BS—and encouraging the type of BS—that leaves Paladino’s mouth.

It doesn’t take even a few drinks. And I don’t dispute that he acts like an idiot. But he’s not an idiot. He does some really good things for people. He just . . . Says a lot of really stupid, hurtful, and inexcusable things that wash out the good that he does. Don’t get me wrong. I detest his politics. And i don’t like the guy much, if it all. But I really don’t think he’s a racist. A loudmouth bully who says way more than his fair share of stupid, painful things, to be sure. Definitely a selfish human being. It spoke volumes to me that his family wouldn’t appear with him in his campaign ads. But I’ve never known him as a racist.

Censorship is for the weak. America was built on the free exchange of ideas.

If you’re talking about Langworthy, I strongly disagree with that statement. He’s many things. But a racist is not one of them. I see parts of the world differently from him, but I respect him and his character and I think he will do a really good job representing his district. As far as Paladino goes, I actually don’t think he’s a racist. I think he’s a guy with a quiet big heart and a loud loose mouth who says and does some really, really stupid and inexcusable things. Unfortunately the frequency of such stupidity has increased. Or maybe it’s that recently people have paid more attention to the dumb stuff that comes out of his mouth. Either way, he’s cooked. And, I’ll add, given that I just saw the comment, his flirtation with “rigged election” BS needs to stop. Complaining about irregularities in the boonies is just ridiculous. He better be able to back it up, because he’s attacking the integrity of an awful lot of people if he goes forward with this.

A little more misogyny from Irv. A moderator should know better.

Watch what? The name-calling and the misogyny? That’s you. Go back and take a look. And, the fact that a MAGA member is threatening censorship of an opinion he doesn’t like is just rich.

Hoax. I haven’t. Although it’s nice to see you aren’t name-calling today. A bad example to set for anyone. And a particularly bad example to set if the name-caller happens to be a moderator of this genteel corner of the internet.

Your suspicion is one that I would prefer not to test. And, irrespective of whether you’re right on that point, there’s no excuse for having the nuke codes in a box in the kitsch resort home of a private citizen. I don’t know about hanging him. But I completely agree with the rest of what you said. Those are facts. And, I have to say, the thought of a prison barber shaving his head and someone squirting him with a hose to cleanse him upon entry to a federal penitentiary makes me chuckle a bit.

Hoax. Biden doesn’t pal around with dictators. Unlike your dear leader.

Hoax. There was a story recently — I believe on TV — that a rando wandered into mar a lago through a beach tunnel. Not a good look for anyone.

Nice job. A little misogyny to start the evening. This forum lets you moderate? What a mess. Hoax. Libs don’t want to defund the FBI. They’re also not casual about the safeguarding of state secrets. MAGA, on the other hand, attacks the blue and is fine with the possibility that Chinese agents could obtain our sensitive intelligence.

Hoax. You know exactly what I’m talking about.

Hoax. I’m not being funny about this, but it’s a resort, right? Meaning that there are all sorts of members and maybe even transients who have access to the grounds. This is far different from some stuff being found at, say, Jimmy Carter’s modest home in Georgia.

So, by extension, when classified docs are at the home of a private citizen, the government goes to get them back, right? Fix the security breach.

It was dangerous to the extent certain people pitched it as effective when, it point of fact, for COVID purposes it was not. False sense of security. And I suppose that was the hoax with respect to HCQ. Some people—like you—were bamboozled into thinking it was an effective COVID treatment, when the truth is that there’s nothing that supports that point.

It’s repetitive but true. Hoax.

“[I]n deference to you all.” Wow. Nice work insulting everyone here, including your MAGA pals. Looks like HCQ is ineffective both with respect to COVID and the taming of a massive ego.

You haven’t posted about HCQ in awhile, so the hoax per post ratio on this board has gone down a little bit lately.

Lots of hoaxes here. Neither Hunter nor Don has been convicted of a relevant crime. Time May change that. Or people like you may try to defund the FBI to stymie the investigation of what appears to be this breach of national security. Sad. But not surprising, coming from MAGA.
