There appears to be a new narrative coming.

This continues to unravel.
Just so we're clear:

Today we learned that the FBI, under the direct order of Joe Biden, raided Trump's estate smash-n-grab style and took whatever documents they wanted, including those well outside the scope of the subpoena.

Tell us more about "threats to democratic norms."

That is just a tweet. But ya know, the narrative matters a lot. And Biden is losing this one hard and fast. We have come a long way from espionage and nuclear codes, LOL.
I bring this over from the other thread because of what Culty says regarding this just being a tweet but what matters aren't facts, just narrative.

So it is a lie that Biden or his spokeswoman called people semi-fascist, or the truth?
Biden clarified that he does not accuse all Republicans of being Fascist. It is the Trumpist MAGA philosophy that is fascist, which applies to the 1/3 or so of Republicans (according to Biden's estimation) who are diehard MAGA supporters.

The level of delusion is just mind boggling. Binger and his conspiracy minded folks on Twitter and FOX have been wrong about this on virtually every point. Now he's pretending they got it right all along? SMH

You said you had the quotes. Right?
I do. They don't support your position.

When you have some time you should research "presuppositions".
Binger doesn't understand how burden of proof works. He thinks he gets to just assert asinine narratives fed to him by FOX, Twitter and Joe Rogan, and it is our job to prove them all wrong.

Yeah. Though he did decide not to keep making the same argument so maybe he just conveniently forgets how it works sometimes.

Turns out FOX News is actually an enemy to the world.

Holy f----ng shitballs.

I've been in Brazil the past couple of weeks and there is a crucial upcoming election next week which I'm happy to say I won't be here for. But thus far I've been confronted on politics just about everywhere I go.

1. On my first day here I was told I shouldn't be vaccinated because people are having heart attacks after taking it.
2. I was told a relative of theirs died from COVID only because he lived in a small town too far from top notch healthcare cures like hydroxychloroquine.
3. I have on numerous times been shown Tucker Carlson youtube clips, poorly translated to Portuguese, suggesting things like he had Dr. Birx dead to rights on admitting the vaccines don't work.
4. I was shown a 4 second audio clip "proving" Joe Biden has lost his mind because he tried to shake hands with an invisible person. When I rejected their premise they all laughed at me like I was just some gullible idiot who refused to admit facts. :roll:
5. I have also been shown a "nine year old prophecy" on youtube given by an Evangelical pastor in the USA supposedly giving a prophecy about how Bolsonaro would save Brazil from destruction and that he was God's chosen. That's what the Portuguese title of the video says and they just believe it, but when listening to the entire rant it is merely some religious nut planning a ministry in Brazil and spoke of Brazil's upcoming salvation that had nothing to do with Bolsonaro at all. The people who showed me this aren't even religious, but suddenly they believe this crap because it supports their adoration of the Right Wing autocrat.
6. WHen they asked me at the dinner table whether I was Democrat or Republican, I said, "Jesus, after listening to you guys now I'm afraid to say." They laughed outloud, and then the wife said all Democrats in the USA are communists. I shook my head and asked her to define communist. She couldn't. When I did it for her, she backtracked and said maybe not communists but definitely socialists. She couldn't define that one either. And of course, my sister-in law kept sending me Tucker Carlson youtube clips that were shared to her by this same family.

I spent about two days calmly explaining to her that Tucker is the worst of fake news in the USA and I pretty much convinced her that all the crap she was trying to tell me had been debunked long ago, and that it is kinda silly for Brazilians to be so presumptuous as to think they're going to educate an American about America's politics simply because they watched a few poorly translated videos on youtube. But that's the kind of blind confidence FOX instills in its target audiences. It isn't enough to be duped like gullible sheeple, you have to in turn respond by spreading that same gospel to everyone else. It makes them feel smart to be able to confidently say things like, "I bet you didn't know what I know."

What if he was referring to another dimension with alternative facts, such as water running uphill?

What’s the over/under on Bolsonaro winning this weekend? I watched a John Oliver bit on him, and it seems he’s doing the Trump thing with regard to undermining the democratic process. He stated he’s “going to jail, will be killed, or will win the election” and if he gets less than 60% of the popular vote then the election was a sham.

-_-

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Bolsonaro is definitely channeling Trump with most of his rhetoric. Where Trump failed with his coup attempt Bolsonaro could actually succeed because he's a former military leader who was part of the former military coup back in the 80's. Much of his rhetoric is Evangelical pretend to be super Christian nonsense just like Trump. Hates gays, wants "traditional" family values, calls everything fake news, and now he wants to legalize gun owning in Brazil which I think would be a huge mistake obviously.

But most folks in Brazil in the know don't expect a coup attempt because he's kinda walked back some of his tough talk and he's even tempered his positions on the pandemic by wearing masks and walking back his original protests against the vaccines. As far as polling goes, Lula is probably going to win as he carries a majority of support mostly from the impoverished sectors of the country. Brazil is screwed either way because Lula is a thief who milked the country dry while he was in office before and would likely try doing it again, given the chance. The poor in Brazil love him because he's quite literally the only politician who ever did anything for them, so they say.

I'm just glad I'll be getting the hell out of Dodge before the results come in. It could get pretty crazy here.

My flight is scheduled Thursday night and I'm supposed to arrive in Miami Friday morning just as a hurricane is making landfall on the pandhandle, so not really optimistic about making it back to Atlanta that day. Ugh.

Idiot Trump woman says FOX News tells her "illegals" are coming over here to give away free fentanyl pills to our children by knocking doors and just giving it away.
