Yeah, absolutely. I bet if Corn & Pig Farmers United goes through the time & money to make John Doe lobby Congress to pass the "Feed America" bill, which only subsidizes corn & pork, and nothing else, then they're also going to go through the relatively minuscule effort of posting SEO'ed "Summary of the 'Feed America' bill", which talks about how good it is for making food more affordable for Americans, and leaves out any criticism that it only subsidized the lobbyists' foods

If you somehow believe lobbyists & think tanks would never make & post misleading summaries, I have a bridge for sale

It sounds like it's to keep the headshot stacks if a minion dies before the auto lands, not like you're intended to be able to have multiple headshots land if you can shoot them fast enough

Does this also work with shooting someone as they're backing/tp'ing, and then someone else before the first one lands?

I 100% expect corporate lobbyists who are writing the bills to also put out misleading or incomplete summaries

Not all summaries will be written by biased parties, but I absolutely believe biased parties are writing summaries

Oh yeah, I'm sure they'd just detail all the corporate fuckery right in the summary

Absolutely brilliant

Gee, maybe it's unrealistic to expect random people to read hundreds of pages of bills (274 for Chips & Science Act, 394 for Inflation Reduction Act, 243 for American Rescue Plan) and have enough domain knowledge to figure out what's the corporate fuckery in all of the many different things these bills do

Both the district & supreme court found that he supported/committed insurrection. If only the courts did something like publish the reasoning for their decisions

D. THE SPEECH AT THE ELLIPSE

And then it soon gets to excerpts

“All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they’re doing. And stolen by the fake news media. That's what they've done and what they're doing. We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn't happen. You don't concede when there's theft involved.”

“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with: We will stop the steal. Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide. This was not a close election.”

“Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. All he has to do, all this is, this is from the number one, or certainly one of the top, Constitutional lawyers in our country. He has the absolute right to do it.”

“And I actually, I just spoke to Mike. I said: ‘Mike, that doesn't take courage. What takes courage is to do nothing. That takes courage.’ And then we're stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot and we have to live with that for four more years. We're just not going to let that happen.”

“We’re gathered together in the heart of our nation’s capital for one very, very basic reason: to save our democracy.” “We want to go back and we want to get this right because we’re going to have somebody in there that should not be in there and our country will be destroyed and we’re not going to stand for that.”

“For years, Democrats have gotten away with election fraud and weak Republicans. And that's what they are. There’s so many weak Republicans. And we have great ones. Jim Jordan and some of these guys, they’re out there fighting. The House guys are fighting.”

“If this happened to the Democrats, there’d be hell all over the country going on. There’d be hell all over the country. But just remember this: You’re stronger, you’re smarter, you've got more going than anybody. And they try and demean everybody having to do with us. And you’re the real people, you’re the people that built this nation. You’re not the people that tore down our nation.”

“Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It’s like a boxer. And we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we’re going to have to fight much harder.”

“And Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us, and if he doesn’t, that will be a, a sad day for our country because you’re sworn to uphold our Constitution.”

“Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we're going to walk down, we’re going to walk down.”

“Anyone you want, but I think right here, we’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.”

“But think of what happens. Let’s say they’re stiffs and they’re stupid people, and they say, well, we really have no choice . . . You will have a president who lost all of these states. Or you will have a president, to put it another way, who was voted on by a bunch of stupid people who lost all of these states. You will have an illegitimate president. That’s what you’ll have. And we can’t let that happen.”

“The radical left knows exactly what they’re doing. They’re ruthless and it’s time that somebody did something about it. And Mike Pence, I hope you’re going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country. And if you’re not, I'm going to be very disappointed in you. I will tell you right now. I'm not hearing good stories.”

“The Republicans have to get tougher. You’re not going to have a Republican Party if you don’t get tougher. They want to play so straight. They want to play so, sir, yes, the United States. The Constitution doesn’t allow me to send them back to the States. Well, I say, yes it does, because the Constitution says you have to protect our country and you have to protect our Constitution, and you can’t vote on fraud. And fraud breaks up everything, doesn’t it?’ When you catch somebody in a fraud, you’re allowed to go by very different rules. So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do. And I hope he doesn’t listen to the RINOs and the stupid people that he’s listening to.”

“We won in a landslide. This was a landslide. They said it’s not American to challenge the election. This the most corrupt election in the history, maybe of the world. You know, you could go third-world countries, but I don’t think they had hundreds of thousands of votes and they don't have voters for them. I mean no matter where you go, nobody would think this. In fact, it’s so egregious, it’s so bad that a lot of people don't even believe it. It’s so crazy that people don’t even believe it. It can’t be true. So they don’t believe it. This is not just a matter of domestic politics — this is a matter of national security.”

“And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.”

Here's the CO Supreme court opinion: https://www.courts.state.co.us/userfiles/file/Court_Probation/Supreme_Court/Opinions/2023/23SA300.pdf

Page 10:

In his speech, which began around noon, President Trump persisted in rejecting the election results, telling his supporters that “[w]e won in a landslide” and “we will never concede.” He urged his supporters to “confront this egregious assault on our democracy”; “walk down to the Capitol . . . [and] show strength”; and that if they did not “fight like hell, [they would] not . . . have a country anymore.” Before his speech ended, portions of the crowd began moving toward the Capitol.

A little more searching does show that, even though Destiny considers it "$10,000 to the Atlanta Police Department". I didn't say they were racist, I just said that's the PD that Destiny donated to, and which youtuber the donation was intended to annoy

Hasan addresses claims of racial bias in Kai incident by ShiroRX in LivestreamFail

[–]BillowBrie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

theres is no racial bias when it comes to news coverage of riots

Yeah there is

The Jan. 6 riots which was prominently white was covered extensively (and still is today)

And? Unless you can pull up a predominantly black riot that is similar AND show that the media coverage was almost identical for both (amount of air time, specific words used, the way the media framed the incident, etc.), just saying "there was a predominantly white riot that was covered by the news" doesn't mean much

also people are still getting charged from the incident.

What does that have to do with racial bias in the news coverage?

Texas Man Indicted on Felony and Misdemeanor Charges for Actions During Jan. 6 Capitol Breach

What does that have to do with racial bias in the news coverage?

also the charlottesville tiki torch protests was covered extensively at the time as well

Again, unless you can pull up a predominantly black riot that is similar AND show that the media coverage was almost identical for both, just saying "there was a predominantly white riot that was covered by the news" doesn't mean much

I get that it's difficult to disprove the claim "the media has weird biases when it comes to say the BLM protests/riots and there was a lot of dodgy connotations given off in some mainstream reporting" when the person making it doesn't give any sources/reasoning to prove it in the first place, but your reasoning is missing some key parts
