from the so-you-say dept
This week, our first place winner on the insightful facet is Stephen T. Stone with a reply to somebody pushing again on calling the Trump administration fascist:
No, it isn’t. No matter how you are feeling about Democrat-led authorities administrations, Joe Biden didn’t…
- give a speech to the Navy during which he closely implied that the USA Armed Forces would quickly need to “maintain” (i.e., commit doubtlessly deadly violence in opposition to) Republicans
- say that the US Armed Forces ought to use American cities he deems “harmful” as coaching grounds, which additional implies that Americans in these cities ought to be seen as “the enemy” and handled like “enemy combatants”
- ship the Nationwide Guard into Republican-led cities and states to “struggle crime”, go after non-existent riots, and/or assist ICE perform mass deportations of individuals whose solely crime was being within the nation illegally (versus such people who find themselves fairly suspected of committing felony-level prison acts)
- demand that critics of his administration and his allies be silenced for his or her criticism
- put large banners on authorities buildings that includes his face
- soar on an opportunity to make use of right-wing violence as an excuse to crack down on civil rights and paint right-wingers as inherently violent and in want of being “put down”
- mourn the lack of a public political determine by turning their memorial service right into a political rally and giving a political speech
…so when a Democrat president acts anyplace close to as shitty as Donald Trump has within the ten years since he’s been an precise politician, I’ll name them a fascist, too. However I’m going to name Trump and his henchmen “fascists” as a result of that’s what they’re. That goes double for Stephen Miller. All of your bothsidesism is a weak-ass try and equivocate Democrats being centrist needledicks with the present GOP being a fascist dying cult and say “properly, possibly either side are responsible for Donald Trump saying he desires to kill Democrats and leftists”. No person right here with any sense goes to purchase into that “look what you made them do” bullshit, so go promote it at CPAC.
In second place, it’s That Nameless Coward with a touch upon Tim Cushing’s publish about incorrect assumptions in his earlier publish on the Iowa college superintendent arrested by ICE:
Sorry concerning the crow, however I salute you proudly owning the error.
Provided that this administration lies frequently, its very laborious to simply accept issues they declare are true.
His autism tattoo PROVED his membership in TdA!!!
Statements and written releases typically aren’t well worth the paper they’re written on. (simply ask some judges)
I nonetheless think about you, primarily since you don’t mumble you may need misreported one thing, you admit fault, settle for fault, clarify how the fault got here to be, & promise to strive tougher.
As a small comfort at the very least your not the background test service they had been utilizing. Does anybody assume that on the similar time they filed the lawsuit they thought of the very severe issues in the event that they replied on the identical service to evaluation others who now have entry to kids?
For editor’s selection on the insightful facet, we begin out with a remark from n00bdragon about Trump’s immigration theater and its damaged priorities:
Chasing intercourse predators and drug sellers is tough, as a result of there aren’t lots of them and so they conceal. Chasing day laborers round Residence Depot parking heaps is straightforward as a result of there are such a lot of of them and makes for excellent TV (for a sure kind of sicko).
Subsequent, it’s MrWilson with a remark about Apple’s motive for eradicating the DeICER app:
By this logic, my eyes permit me to see cops and know their location and due to this fact they’re in a position to be harmed. So if cops aren’t simply invisible, then they’re in horrible hazard. In fact if you happen to assume that is simply foolish, the administration is all too joyful to permit “plainclothes officers”/secret police to abduct folks off the streets.
However Apples’ logic is bullshit. Do they scan e mail despatched on their servers that point out ICE officer areas? Do they clean the ICE services on Apple Maps (deliberately, I don’t imply by chance as a result of Apple Maps simply sucks normally…).
Over on the humorous facet, our first place winner is tanj with a remark about Ted Cruz’s confusion concerning who was president from 2018 to 2020:
But once more TD refuses to confess Biden had entry to Obama’s time machine.
In second place, it’s hooboy with one other remark about Apple’s elimination of DeICER:
many makes use of
”as a result of its objective is to supply location details about regulation enforcement officers that can be utilized to hurt such officers individually or as a bunch.”
OR, it may be used to help flash mob gatherings of inflatable characters.
For editor’s selection on the humorous facet, we begin out with yet another remark from MrWilson, this time about how Trump is making the rip-off name drawback worse:
The rip-off name was coming from contained in the (White) Home!
Lastly, it’s an nameless commenter with one other response to Ted Cruz’s timeline confusion:
I used to be type of with him when he opposed Kimmel’s suspension, however now I ponder if he thought Biden did it.
That’s all for this week, of us!
