So are the people wanting Musks gesture to be nazi related.

It was a nazi salute. He proceeded to do it a second time whilst leaving the stage; he's a 50 year-old man who knew full well the connotations of the gesture. It's also worth looking at the expression on his face as he shot his arm into the air. I've never in my life met a single person that has done that in a casual setting, nevermind a professional one.

If you want to blissfully ignore that it was a nazi salute, crack on.
 
See the Democrats took the Adam “Piece of” Schiff censure well… they think they are still on college campuses.

Remember when Schiff said point blank he had irrefutable evidence Trump colluded with Russia. He had a smoking gun. Still waiting. Californians just gave him a promotion. Oi veh!!

After Harry Reid retired a reporter asked him about claiming, in the well of the Senate, that Mitt Romney was a tax evader. He knew it wasn’t true but he just said it was politics. There was a reason he said it in the Senate as well.

I think I’ll lay off the political threads for a while.
The whole sub forum has gone crazy.
All the threads I frequent are infected.

Maybe it’s me.
I’ll stay out and see if it clears up.

It's not you.

This place gets to us all. I've turned this place off a few times for my own sanity.

Do what you need to do our kid.

It's a nutters paradise at the moment, get yourself back to the music threads at least we only argue about how many picks a day you can have ;-)

Or alternatively we must be due a pic of that handsome hound of yours?
 
Nevermind MAGA. They have the wild west days back.

Seems if you break the law for Trump's benefit, you will not be punished.
Going forwards, will that lead to a breakdown in law enforcement?
How can you take American law seriously from now on?

How will the Police react to criminals who attacked Police being pardoned...strikes?
What happens if one of the released attacks the Police again?

It seems Trump has pulled off the biggest (and bestest) grift in history.
Where are the decent upstanding Americans in all this? And what are they going to do about it?

Is civil war a possibility?

Open your fucking eyes, you myopic Admin!!!

Your inability to follow the rules should disqualify you from having ANY ability to ban anyone but yourself!

Calling out someone as a coward used to get them a pellet between the eyes from 20 paces, but you keep hiding behind your keyboard and your Admin role.

You think that is against the rules do you? You might need to read the rules again.

And we unfortunately we don't base moderation off Dandy social norms. You need to calm down because you're getting worked up that someone is disagreeing with you.

I stand by everything in that post.

If an opinion I hold is A, then I’m NOT A…just the things that come out of my mouth are?

Is that like saying “One is not a complete and absolute ****, but one might be ****-adjacent!”???

I’ll be sure to let people know this in future.

“My opinion is that one’s position is that of an absolute and complete ****. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling you an absolute and complete ****, that’s just my opinion of one’s position!”

Genius!!

So you personalise every opinon you hold? This explains a lot. Based on this, I'd suggest social media, especially long form social media, is not a good place for you.

You crack on thinking it was nazi salute, if it makes you feel better.

I don’t see any way that American society isn’t going to get even more divided and violent going forward.

The only question is to what extent and how quickly, but I’d say the language and approach deployed by Trump will definitely accentuate it. Don’t see how that cannot be the case, given the prevailing circumstances.

I wonder if certain groups might try to take him out, the cartels especially, they’d have fuck all to lose, a few attempts could make it almost impossible for him to go out and about. The security around him is ridiculous but it still relies on many in the crowd been law abiding, it could start turning nasty when people are been turfed out of their homes. If we see pictures on tv of kids been dragged out by armed police how will other worlds leaders react to that, will they call him out?

Are you serious?

Of course every opinion I hold is personalized to me.

For instance, if I hold “the opinion” you are a ****, it is because I think you are a ****. Is that IMpersonal or a personal opinion?

If I hold the opinion that Trump is a Nazi-Wannabee, it’s not because my brother thinks that, or my sister, or my wife, or my child, but me. It is MY opinion. That is MY PERSONAL opinion.

Do you hold opinions that are not yours, but someone else’s? Do you IMpersonalize your opinions so they DO NOT reflect your personal views?

What kind of Wonderland do you inhabit where your personal opinions are NOT personal to you?

Fuck me, the world is going fucking mad!!
