You imagine that a lot, don’t you?
Oh yeah!! You Progressives are the smartest people on the planet. No doubt!! I wish everyone could be as smart as you guys, just think of all the possibilities. If everyone was progressive, maybe we could go ahead an appoint one individual to oversee all thought and feelings. I nominate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!! That way, if anyone gets out of line and starts going rogue by thinking for themselves, we could have a facility may be way out in the Sahara Desert, somewhere we could send them so they could be reprogrammed and brought back in line with progressive thought. If that doesn't work, we could just send them somewhere they could live out the remainder of their lives. Ohohohohohoh!! I know!! Let's make everyone move away from Australia and we can send anyone who doesn't think like a progressive there. You know!! Make Australia a big jail for all the stubborn conservatives. That way all of the progressive, Marxist, and socialist can have the rest of the world to themselves and live out their fairytale dream life of everyone being 100% equal in every aspect of life. everyone could have the same amount of money no matter how hard they work or don't work. Everyone could just have one kid, you know, to save the planet. Everyone would have to dedicate three hours a day to save the planet. Everyone would have to turn off all electricity to their house for 6 hours a day to save the planet. Everyone could ride a bike to work. Whenever there's a virus that comes along everyone could stay in their houses for 2 years until it goes away. Make it mandatory to protest on highways and busy streets at least twice a year. Everyone would have to read Dr Robin diangelo books till the day they die. Everyone would have to rail against religion until they become so depressed they have to be put on medication. Everyone would have to take classes to learn how to always look into the past so we know how to blame dead people for our miserable lives. And so on and so on.Gunnar wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 3:25 pmJust calling them willfully and dangerously ignorant suffices, as far as I'm concerned.Atlanticmike wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:51 pm
You might as well just call them all a bunch of cxxts, you know you want to. Cmon, c'mon, you know you want to!
So: if someone opines strongly on a current issue of public importance, and it is clear that the views they express bear little or no relation to well-established facts (and I'm talking about pretty basic things here, no quantum mechanics), how can one point that out without provoking your 'Ha! Mr Know it all! Think you're so clever!" response?
Treason: the crime of betraying one's country (i.e. his comments in Helsinki)
Enter Exhibit A as to why you're not a serious person. You didn't even read the article, but rather mined one line out of it and ignored the fact that these notes come directly from the people who were working for Trump. You're also oblivious to the fact that the Justice Dept is to be completely independent from the Executive, despite Trump's numerous attempts to weaponize it for his purposes. Biden told the Justice Dept many months ago that he expects them to act independently and he has no intention of recommending to them investigations into his predecessor.
All I can say to that post is thanks for once again for inadvertently demonstrating the truth of the very point you are trying to to dispute.Atlanticmike wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 11:41 amOh yeah!!

You're welcome uppity progressive.
Who are these naïve people who think it will do any good to (in effect) say to Trump "Sir, you know that thing that would be really favourable to you if it was true? Well, we've looked into it, and we are pretty sure that it isn't in fact true after all."Icarus wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 6:10 pmNewly released notes show Trump pressured DOJ to declare election was 'corrupt'

At another point in the call, the notes showed Rosen and Donoghue trying to convince Trump that his allegations of voter fraud were false.
"Sir we have done dozens of investig., hundreds of interviews, major allegations are not supported by evid. developed," Donoghue told Trump, per the notes. "We are doing our job. Much of the information you're getting is false."
Trump however would not be swayed.
"'We have an obligation to tell people that this was an illegal, corrupt election," he said, according to the notes.

The treason of Trump comes in many forms, but first and foremost comes in the form of trying to overthrow a democratic election and have himself appointed as a lifetime dictator. The second charge of this indictment should be in conspiring with a foreign power against the government of the United States. The third would be in turning the Republican party into a bunch of lying weenies.huckelberry wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 12:50 amI do not think people expressing fear of Trump is the same as proof of treason.
