The MAGA movement is a cult. Don Jr, the eldest son of the cult leader, is telling the other cultists this author is excommunicated from the cult. Thus the cultists know to ignore anything relating to this topic and can continue their blind devotion in peace.

Yes, but do they have little bunnies piloting them? bun, bunhdthink

We'll find out if they do something. The same way we would find out if someone did something anonymously. blobfox, blobfoxcat

That's how it should be. In the US, we need to outlaw insider trading for elected officials. This is a known issue, based on the evidence we have. There's no reason to engage in any conspiracism at all.

Well no. Actually we aren’t supposed to trust the government. That’s why we have (in theory) a system of checks and balances.

That's a conflation of two separate things. The checks and balances are for the different branches of government against each other and not we the people against the government.

This idea that the population should have a general and perpetual distrust of their government no matter what is conspiracy theory logic.

We should base trust and distrust on evidence.

Governments are comprised of people. Like any other people they should be judged on their actions. Blanket statements about distrusting governments and politicians no matter what they actually do is no different than distrusting science and experts. It's all part of how we got here.

Trump likes the part where the military conquers other countries. He hates service members, veterans, and all humans.

You lied again in this comment too, multiple times. You went after the woman in your argument and now you're lying about that as well.

You spent the whole day getting off to lying to me because you're a pathological liar. I'm glad you got your fix.

I found a resource for you so you can get help. You shouldn't have to lie to people on the internet to get your fix. People could get hurt. Maybe this will help you ditch your fascism. I know they have all the best lies, but that doesn't make it okay.

Faced with facts you just go straight to the name calling.

This is her objection.

At the same time, Mohammad told her Democracy Now! interviewer: “One of the professors of medicine we have at Emory recently went to serve as a volunteer medic” in the IDF. That professor, she continued, “participated in aiding and abetting a genocide, in aiding and abetting the destruction of the healthcare system in Gaza and the murder of over 400 healthcare workers, and is now back at Emory so-called ‘teaching’ medical students and residents how to take care of patients”.

This is mine.

Fuck off fascist.

Look how this fascist pretends the facts aren't there. I led with the facts.

Just because you're pretending you can't read doesn't mean other people can't. No one is falling for the act.

lie indiscriminately about a wide range of topics

tell untruths about minor events

feel undeterred by the fear of getting caught

experience a rush when you get away with lying

continue to lie even when confronted with the truth

My gut instinct was that pathological liars must be miserable. But after looking it up I was wrong.

You must be having a great time. Go figure.

You're not pro-Palestinian. You're a fascist. You managed to fool a number of unsuspecting people and you thought I would be an easy mark too.

Now you've tried to walk it back. You say you're against the university while still going after the student as if this is some neutral objective viewpoint from nowhere. You bullshit in your argument and ignore what's inconvenient in my argument. But you can't bring yourself to stop lying.

This is the truth that is supported by the article:

A Palestinian American medical student objected to working alongside IDF soldiers. The university suspended her

The professor is the IDF solider. She objects to working with IDF soldiers. I object to pretending you are arguing in good faith.

Fuck off fascist!

Here's your moment of zen.

Is Timothy Pratt pro-Palestinian? Let's look at how he chose to end his article.

Back at Emory, Brown, Mohammad’s doctoral adviser, said she was proud of her student. “She’s doing what she’s supposed to do – holding her field accountable to its stated ideals,” Brown said, adding: “She will be Dr Mohammad, one way or the other.”

Yes. And that's part of how he wrote an article that is true. He has a viewpoint from somewhere.

 

From remains an unabashed centrist who believes that economic growth, not the economic populism of Sanders or Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is the answer. “It’s important the critical mass in the Democratic party show that it’s the party of opportunity, responsibility and community but not the party of the left,” he insists.

He also argues that the party should not be afraid to talk about law enforcement and developing a system of community policing rather than urging “defund the police”. Likewise it should embrace the idea of legal immigration and a border that is under control. From applauds governors who have made jobs available to people without college degrees.
