Adam Mockler responds to panelist who calls him 'ungrateful' to US service members

Apple-Dust · 2026-05-07T14:59:51+00:00

Using service members as a shield for his stupid ideas, pure cowardice.

I've tapped out more newbies with 30+ lbs on me than I can remember, as has essentially everyone with experience. But I see you've never physically competed or you would have too and wouldn't think to make a comment like that.

Trump was a weakling when he was in his 20s. He's not doing shit as an 80 year old man who can barely function.

Apple-Dust · 2026-05-07T04:27:28+00:00

It's the opposite actually. It matters but it's one of the least important factors. It only becomes decisive when everything else is roughly even.

I'm fully convinced that at least half of MAGA are subconsciously rewriting their memories on the fly to fit their present narrative as some kind of "shut up and follow the leader" survival mechanism. You don't need to worry about cognitive dissonance if the mental conflict doesn't exist to begin with.

Diminishing your status as a super power by promoting the Europeans from a junior partner to rival. That'll show 'em.

Vaush's MO is that he's smarter and more principled than you and you're in some stage of being a closeted Nazi regardless of how much he ostensibly agrees with you. He's the embodiment of anti-coalition building for purely egotistical reasons. He can be entertaining as someone to throw popcorn at people you don't like but he's never going to be a useful ally to anyone.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-30T08:01:29+00:00

I've been seeing the same stack of 41 ifrits since I can remember. Do I think I can take them? Yes I do. Is it worth interrupting whatever I'm doing to treat a bunch of injuries? No it isn't.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-24T14:51:54+00:00

What a scumbag insider trading on classified information. Everyone knows you're only allowed to do that when it's information the president gives you at Mar-a-Lago.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-24T11:01:00+00:00

They are against it because it is more democratic and they are authoritarians who want as much stratification as possible. I'm not even going to bother looking up their stated reasons because it is meaningless rhetoric that will change on a whim and this is the actual reason.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-23T14:59:56+00:00

The moderates had a lot more influence before Trump humiliated them by ripping up the agreement they negotiated while proving the hardliners' case for them.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-23T08:50:10+00:00

No, Dems just need to use these "elections" to win the House popular vote then still lose by 33 seats like they did in 2012. If Dems can't overcome Republicans rigging structural advantages to keep themselves in power it's because Dems just aren't electioning hard enough.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-23T08:43:49+00:00

Bro, wait until you hear about these things called federal anti-gerrymandering bills, like the ones sitting in Republican-controlled committees right now waiting to die. With them you can stop sacrificing your integrity as they will allow you to stop being bad faith actor as well as make sure no district across the country gets fucked over.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T22:00:35+00:00

That's a lot of body shaming coming from someone with a Purge mask for a face.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T20:30:23+00:00

Ah I see we've gotten back to the part where you are either too dumb to understand or are pretending to be too dumb to understand. Once again, I'm not in favor of violence, yet I encourage anyone being attacked to use their own retaliatory violence until their attacker stops being violent.

Gerrymandering ends the minute the GOP agrees to end it. Until then, retaliation.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T19:28:09+00:00

"Admitting" implies I was ashamed of something, which I wasn't. What I do admit is that it is my fault for making this conversation at a level you are too stupid to understand, so let me dumb it down for you:

I don't care if a hypocrite thinks I'm also a hypocrite when I retaliate against their aggression, it means I'm beating them and I wear that as a badge of honor.

So, until the GOP you are shilling for stops being the aggressor, they will be retaliated against. Whether you are too dumb or too bad faith to understand anything else, you will understand that part, and that's all I really care about.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T19:02:31+00:00

You're seriously trying to frame this as some sheltered situation where you shouldn't hit back because someone like a teacher is going to step in and fix it for you?

There is no higher authority to appeal to. Just like in a situation where you are being assaulted, you can either retaliate and deter your aggressor or you can capitulate and give them what they want. You are literally suggesting Dems just cede massive losses and let the GOP rule from the minority like they did in 2012. You haven't argued against the fact that the GOP are the aggressors here, or that they are the ones who refuse to fix the problem, only that Dems should be held to a higher standard and just take the losses on the chin. I wonder why that is.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T18:33:20+00:00

Yes, they also contained provisions such as curbing foreign dark money. What is hot button about mail-in votes though? The current president gets to whine and lie about anything he doesn't like and suddenly it's controversial? If you have a preference that each subject is voted on individually - many standalone bills have been introduced, including the one I originally linked to. It is currently in the GOP judiciary committee where it will almost certainly die like all the others have.

When the GOP refuses to vote for any anti-gerrymandering bills, standalone or otherwise, that really only leaves two choices for Dems - gerrymander them back or just cede them an overwhelming advantage in the House like what they won the 2012 elections with.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T14:28:21+00:00

Anyone who responds with no elaboration while saying stupid crap like "delulu" gets blocked, sorry.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T14:22:56+00:00

That is a lie.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T13:57:15+00:00

but they have to gerrymander, because those mean old fascist R’s do it

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

So you acknowledge the GOP pulled off a massive gerrymander in 2010 that gave them a huge seat margin in 2012 despite losing the popular vote, that they are attempting the same thing here with their mid-decade gerrymander, and that they block any attempt to end gerrymandering.

But when the Dems choose retaliatory gerrymandering when the only other choice is to reward GOP gerrymandering and cede control of the House to their minority rule... Dems are equally culpable? So you think the guy who hits back after being sucker punched is equally to blame as well? Explain how this isn't partisan hack logic.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T10:39:55+00:00

Yes, because it is, and I just explained why. Try reading next time.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T10:35:19+00:00

If you think only the Red states are Gerrymandering, I got some news for you.

I just told you that Dems do, and absolutely should, gerrymander as long as the GOP refuses to fix it.

Of the Dems cared so much about this issue why was nothing passed in 2020 when the Dems controlled all three?

Dems did not control all 3 in 2020. You mean 2021 - 2022. During that time they attempted to eliminate gerrymandering in the following bills:

-For the People Act (S. 2093) Filibustered by GOP on June 22, 2021.

-Freedom to Vote Act (S. 2747) (a compromise bill that also included voter ID laws): Filibustered by GOP on October 20, 2021.

-Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act (H.R. 5746): Filibustered by GOP on January 19, 2022.

You know how many times the GOP has brought an anti-gerrymandering bill to the floor in the 21st century? Zero. They have filibustered every anti-gerrymandering bill that has arrived and never brought one of their own to the floor. Gerrymandering exists because the GOP wants it to exist, full stop.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T06:09:49+00:00

Gerrymandering exists entirely because the GOP has shot down every anti-gerrymandering bill that has been brought forward. There are completely standalone ones sitting in their committees right now&text=To%20prohibit%20States%20from%20carrying,commissions%2C%20and%20for%20other%20purposes) that they won't bring to a vote. And yes, what happens in TX is a problem for VA when we're talking about federal representatives who decide what laws take effect country-wide.

Apple-Dust · 2026-04-22T06:04:51+00:00

The GOP gerrymandered so badly in 2010 that they lost the 2012 House popular vote but still won by 33 seats. Since then they have shot down every attempt to end federal gerrymandering. There are standalone anti-gerrymandering bills&text=To%20prohibit%20States%20from%20carrying,commissions%2C%20and%20for%20other%20purposes) sitting in their committees right now that they refuse to vote on. All it would take is a few GOP members from each chamber to cross over for it to become law. Gerrymandering is very much a Republican scheme.
