    something that hotmail.com has overlooked is that while CNN made a mistake, and every news source does, they also admitted that mistake as soon as they were aware of it and made a retraction. that is the action of a reputable news source

    I didn't overlook that, one of my posts said that.

    Wasnt that just a statement by an anonymous Whitehouse "insiders", So as usual no proof he actually said it.

    On to another point.
    As far as the protestors go and it is unfortunate there was any violence as that always needs to be condemned but at least they seemed to be mostly peaceful protests, When I first saw some of the footage it seemed like the whole thing was chaos but infact most of it was like the video below, More like an occupy protest than anything else.


    If this had been a BLM/Antifa protest all those statues would have been pulled down and based on their usual MO the place would have be set on fire.



    If it had been a BLM protest, none of them would have made it past the steps, much less scaled the walls and pushed their way through broken doors and windows. The MAGA mob were treated like tourists in a time share they partly owned.

    A disturbing insight into what a radicalised Trump supporter thinks about Pence.

    Actually a real person

    Most of these people are lunatics.

    But some are genuinely deranged. Given Trumps speech today that was clearly written for him and read in protest, it won't be long until there's a belief that the deep state has "gotten to" Trump. That's either by coercion, or by removing and replacing him with a lookalike. Which for some could lead them to believe that Trump has to be removed for the good of QAnon.

    Remember that for them there is no limit to what they will invent to protect their belief.

    It still baffles me on a daily basis the adoration that those people hold Trump in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,974 ✭✭✭Chris_Heilong


    If this had been BLM there wouldn't have been bombs.

    Is it standard practice to bring bombs to a peaceful protest?

    Why wouldnt there be? They have used Molotov cocktails before and so dont seem avert to explosives.



    have you decided to ignore all the other videos available that show protestors breaking windows, thrashing offices and stealing a lecturn?

    As I said already in my post "When I first saw some of the footage it seemed like the whole thing was chaos" You are sort of making my point for me that most of the footage being shown is the breaking window clips and such but not as much footage of what the rest of the majority of the protestors were doing.

    If you are actively suicidal for whatever reason you are deemed to be psychiatrically unwell.

    So 'dying for your country' (as termed by the military) isn't actively suicidal?!?!?

    The 2007 sci-fi movie 'The Signal' comes to mind, as well as the more recent Birdbox. People suffering a mass delusion/psychosis.

    For potentially criminal speech, certainly an individual would find it hard to identify anonymous/pseudonymous individuals but not necessarily law enforcement.

    From a defamation point of view, it's actually quite easy to get a court order (at least from my experience in CA) to compel intermediaries and/or hosts to disclose ISPs and thereafter for ISPs to identify the lessor of the ISP once a John/Jane Doe defamation case is brought.

    Absolutely. Law breaking speech is unlikely to be protected and so anonymity can be overturned. But general anonymity (particularly for criticising the government) is well protected.

    Doesn't look good but it's possible the cop in that clip is encouraging another cop to hurry up.

    No i would not agree whatsoever.

    Mainly due in part to the strength of radicalization, indoctrination, and in the social media world, the strength of the bubble created by those platforms by the algorithms
    For example you tube will say 'oh you like this jihadist, then maybe you'll like this one', and that's not discounting the proliferation of the Sinclair network that has overtaken local news in the states.

    Have a watch, if you haven't already, of The Social Dilemma on netfix
    Yet you have failed to provide your definition, so I can only assume it's one from that Netflix film which I'm not going to watch right now.

    the whole thing was chaos. the rest of the world think what happened was totally unacceptable but you keep on as if it was totally normal. That loyalty to trump is impressive. Dumb, but impressive.

    But I think many of us feel that those defending the violent thugs are just miss guided and if we can keep showing them the truth and make them see someone would have to be a really evil type of person knowing all the facts and still supporting them then they might come around and finally do the right thing and denounce Trump.

    I'm just saying I wouldn't necessarily go as far as saying what you said as it gives an absolutely false impression of the protections (or lack thereof) of anonymous / pseudonymous internet posters.

    You are applying logic to what is, for an awful lot of otherwise logical people, an illogical decision that they make based purely on the "team" they support.

    I am. voting is a logical process.

    Lets take a look at the states. You have 2 candidates. You want one of the two to be be elected so you vote for that person.

    So lets say you decide to vote for Trump

    Following on from that, what would make you do that?

    You Like one him
    - He has helped you out in the past
    - he has helped your family out in the past
    - he is good for your community
    - he is implementing the policies for the country that you believe that should be implemented
    - He wants to **** up your neighbour that you don't like

    You Dislike one candidate (Biden)
    - Because he worked under a Black president?
    - Because he's a commie?
    - Because what?

    If they follow the logic they move away from voting Republican for just this election like the Dems did under Regan (Which I think was a disaster, but might not have been the start of this decrepit part of history), if not they are Trumpers.

    If Republicans can't see the difference between Republicans and Trumpers than they are Trumpers




    As I said, you might not really appreciate the reality of how a lot of these (otherwise apparently normal) people work - as stupid and illogical as they might seem.


    There are people who will vote Republican from an "anything but democrat" angle. They don't necessarily love Trump (who was a registered Democrat at one stage!). They might have preferred to have a different Republican, but no matter what he did, they would always always always choose the one with the Republican badge over any Democrat.



    That is neither an excuse nor a justification. I'm just explaining the unfortunate reality of the situation.



    It would be a little bit like your buddy trying to justify some player on the team he supports doing something terrible on the pitch. He'll stick up for him because he's under the badge of that team.

    I don't think he will, of course. Who would walk away a week into a 6 year tenure? Just because you nearly ushered in the collapse of the Republic! Pfft!

    The real unfortunate reality of the situation is the vast majority of these people wanted that 2k cheque and yet they cannot understand why Mitch wont give it to them even though hes told them time and again hes against social protection.



    They also support the kind of healthcare reform Bernie has proposed if it is put as having come out of a GOP mouth.

    If that was a BLM protest there would be armed police/soldiers shooting live ammo before they would be allowed to storm the senate.

    More concern for plaster monoliths which were in no danger than fascists trying to obstruct democracy. Conservatism in a nutshell.

    Such courage! Such swift accountability!

    https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/1347529127822286849?s=20

    I ****ing can't understand. Help me understand. Why does the cabinet need a week. Why does Congress think impeachment would be more successful with just 6 or 7 days left in the term?
