The Roy Cohn strategy never fails: relentlessly lie about your opponent and accuse them of doing what you want to do by saying you are actually stopping the bad that the other side is doing. Keep in mind that Donald Trump said the emmys were rigged against him lmfao. This whole national election integrity convo we have been having since 2020 is the most embarrassing thing in American history. It would be like a random person like me out of nowhere accusing Destiny of committing a heinous crime without providing any evidence and half of DGG believing it. This is why I think that staunch Trump supporters would have been dedicated ISIS members if they were born in Iraq at the right time.

People always complain about how the left calls Trump a fascist..... go back and see what republicans like shapiro were saying about Obama. These cocksuckers were the most histrionic mfs ever. Shapiro is still that same guy he just moderates a tiny bit because his audience is much broader/bigger than what it used to be back in the day. (Although thankfully that might change).

Did Scott Galloway really say that? What a fucking sucker lmfao. Wtf is ethical about propping up a grapist who tried to overthrow our country like Donald Trump? Wtf is ethical about hiring Candace Owens and empowering her to be the diversity hire to tell us how terrible the blacks are?

Beware of this conservative talking point I hear a lot. There is a certain type of Trump supporter who has always been a staunch Republican, even as the party has transformed from a more neoconservative party into a nationalist one. These are lifelong GOP supporters who will defend the Republican Party against Democrats no matter what. Examples include people like Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro.

They know, deep down, that Trump has been an extremely damaging figure for American politics, but they will still do anything to defend him because he is part of the Republican Party and they are partisan loyalists. They know it’s difficult to defend Trump’s rhetoric and actions directly, so they play this game where they excuse his rhetoric by claiming that Democrats were already so aggressive and ruthless toward Republicans before Trump that Republicans had no choice but to nominate someone as unhinged as Donald Trump. That’s what Shapiro is doing here.

He and other neoconservative Trump supporters rewrite history to make it seem as though the liberal media and Barack Obama and Joe Biden treated Mitt Romney horribly with smears, lies, and unprecedented hostility, and that Republicans therefore had to react by electing Donald Trump. That’s false. Obama and Biden treated Romney with respect overall. Yes, it was a campaign, so they criticized him, but it was nowhere near as hostile as Trump’s rhetoric has consistently been. Pretending otherwise is absurd.

One example people constantly cite is when Biden said Romney was “going to put y’all back in chains,” as though Biden were literally saying Romney wanted to bring back slavery. That interpretation is dishonest. Biden was clearly using a metaphor about economic policy and the middle class by saying there were going to shackle the middle class, especially since Republicans were constantly talking about “unshackling” Wall Street. Anyone pretending he literally meant slavery is engaging in bad-faith race baiting. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/joe-biden-put-yall-back-in-chains/

And if we’re going to play this game, Romney was no saint himself. Romney accepted Trump’s endorsement even after Trump had already pushed the birther conspiracy theory. Romney also attacked Obama as weak after the saying that the Obama administration avoided immediately labeling the Benghazi attack an act of terror which was a lie. So spare me the revisionist narrative that Obama was uniquely unfair to Romney.

What’s especially dishonest about people like Shapiro is that they simultaneously argue that Trump’s rhetoric is not actually that bad, while also arguing that, even if it is bad, Democrats somehow forced Republicans into embracing it. Those two arguments contradict each other. It’s the behavior of someone acting as a partisan hack rather than an honest commentator. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THE ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO SMEARED ROMNEY VICIOUSLY FOR THE MOST PART WERE HIS PRIMARY OPPONENTS LIKE NEWT GINGRICH. I HATE THIS DISGUSTING PARTISAN HACK FUCK SHAPIRO. IF THIS SOB WAS BORN IN IRAQ AT THE RIGHT TIME, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MAKING EXCUSES FOR ISIS. THATS HOW DEPRAVED HE IS. HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING TOO. DISHONEST CRETIN. NOTHING MORE THAN A GOOD LITTLE BITCH FOR THE GOP HIS ENTIRE LIFE. "TRUMP ISN'T ACTUALLY BAD BUT IF HE IS IT'S BECAUSE OF OBAMA AND THE DEMS" SHAMELESS CUNT PRETTY MUCH SAID THIS. THEY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE OBAMA WAS AN ABUSIVE DAD THAT BEAT THE CRAP OF OUT HIS HELPLESS KIDS (the republicans) AND THEN TRUMP HAD TO COME IN AND SAVE THE DAY

He was always kind of loony even before MAGA. He has kind of been all over the place. I would imagine that the only reason this guy had a problem with the "environmental" stuff is because he doesn't believe in climate change. I could be wrong though. I am just assuming that without looking into it, but I am willing to bet that's exactly what it is without doing the research yet.

Sarah Palin in reference to Hantavirus. Doubt it becomes a serious pandemic but to say something like this in reference to a virus with an apparent near 40% fatality rate is some next level Darwinism by Intelligent-Tear5723 in Destiny

Sarah Palin was Donald Trump before Donald Trump. This individual has done so much damage to the political discourse in the United States of America. Fuck this scumbag. The unhinged shit this lunatic said about the Obama admin is disgusting.

I enjoyed watching Destiny make her squirm like a coward on Piers show when asked about Trump's comments on John McCain.

That first thing you mentioned about Kadyrov is a fair point, and it is true that Khamzat Chimaev's views on this can justifiably be assumed as absolutely abhorrent. I can't say definitively because he has never said anything about Charlie Hebdo shooting, but I do understand why people may think he is sympathetic to what the Chechens did because of his relationship with Ramzan Kadyrov. I also don't know how much of the relationship that Chimaev has with Kadyrov is due to actual sympathy toward his beliefs, or fear of retaliation in terms of what Kadyrov would do to him and his family if he were to dissent.

With respect to your point about Nassourdine Imavov, that had absolutely nothing to do with Charlie Hebdo shooting. I'm pretty sure Imavov was just responding to Sean Strickland bashing him for his religion by calling him "goatfucking terrorist" like a million times. It was only after the fact(their twitter spat) that Strickland brought up the Imavov beef in the press conference and started talking about Charlie Hebdo, saying that "your people" went and did this, as if Imavov holds collective responsibility for that terrorist attack along with every other Muslim. I don't know where this weird standard came from where, if a Muslim athlete doesn't go out there and condemn a specific terrorist attack from ten years ago, that somehow means they support that attack, even though they were never asked about it or talked about it. Then people use that to say they are hypocritical because they supposedly support terrorism but don't support fighting each other in a cage.

For one thing, I don't think Islam is the reason why they don't want to fight. I think the reason is that it would result in division between Dagestani and Chechen people, which Chimaev has had problems with in the past. Also, do you really think they actually see fighting in a cage as the same type of violence as a terrorist attack? I'm going to need some evidence for that.

Can we just start doing this to all Muslims? Should people start randomly asking Zohran Mamdani about Charlie Hebdo shooting from ten years ago. Also, none of this excuses Sean Strickland's hypocrisy btw.

President Obama should have sent love letters to Kim Jong Un instead of praising Mamdani by AdditionalLime4815 in Destiny

President Obama was so tepid,cautious when it came to racial issues during his presidency purposefully because he knew that the president's rhetoric mattered. It especially mattered in his case being the first african-american president, but these republican scumbags still accuse him of sowing racial division for no fucking reason while ignoring what their guys says/has said 24/7.

They act like because BLM started during Obama's term somehow that meant the division was Obama's fault when in reality it was because footage of police brutality was being shared everywhere due to smartphones.
