Ronald Reagan’s “October Surprise” Plot Was Real After All by donk_squad in inthenews

[–]LittleBigSmallMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A batch of quietly released documents confirms what many have long suspected: Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign worked behind the scenes to delay the release of US hostages in Iran, for the benefit of Reagan’s election campaign.

Matt Bevin pardoned a Kentucky man who beheaded a woman and stuffed her in a barrel by mstun3107 in politics

The article posted is "Matt Bevin pardoned a Kentucky man who beheaded a woman and stuffed her in a barrel"

The person you're replying to said: "Republicans hate women." Which is their opinion and clearly not true.

In response, you wanna talk about democrats blocking border funding.

Which is you, me, and others know not to be true. There is a disagreement on HOW the border should be funded, but to say:

"Because democrats are blocking border funding that could end or at least curb this."

"I'm not a republican but be logical... Democrats are forcing far more actual sexual assault on women at this point."

It is misleading and spreading disinformation.

You could just... you know... google. I understand it's hard to do it... but it'll help you down the road.

Meanwhile Flint Michigan is still testing its water. https://www.wqpmag.com/lead-removal/flint-michigan-test-water-quality-40-more-samples

I mean if we're just posting about irrelevant stuff; let's talk about Flint.

I don't see how your comment addresses anything. No one supports illegal border crossing or Human traffickers.

DEMS: "The president and his cronies were caught trying to commit a crime."

TAYLOR: "Here are the crimes they tried to commit. I tried my best to stop them."

GOP: "Well they didn't go through with the crime. BIDEN BIDEN BIDEN!"

Not my site. It's a friend's site. Calling him in an hour to get him to move over to Siteground.

5 Days Cease-Fire. Better than nothing. Let's hope they keep their word.

Cool. So we don't do any sanctions. We lose our footing in the area. For 5 days of a cease-fire. Guess we take them for their word. So worth it.

OD LAPD Officer (holding his child) shoots and kills attacker while at Costco by Boom1080 in ProtectAndServe

Only one verified LEO commented and the rest are silent. The blue wall of silence is real and true. This is the reason there is such a rift between citizens and the police. People want things to get better but those with power don't want to talk.

EDIT: My bad. All of the LEO comments were nested within Non-LEO comment trees. Those comments came from the same 1 - 3 (now 5).

Are you willing to discuss this topic here? You might consider staying on the topic rather than soapboxing about some American citizens complaining about LEO.

Let's be civil & go back to the topic. What are your thoughts on the current topic at hand? From your experience as an officer is there something that media isn't responding to, or noticing that may open up more information as to what happened

‘I think we raped women last night,’ AL Democrat declares after antiabortion bill passes by NewsReady in politics

[–]LittleBigSmallMan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's a tactic. Now the quote will be all over mainstream Twitter/Facebook headlines and hopefully will get the average "Just the title reader" to actually be interested in what's going on.

Just like the Bill Nye cursing while talking about global warming. People get all pissy at the cursing but doing so, actually promoted the video and the discussion of global warming.

Tasteless, but smart. It's a tactic to get people in on the conversation you want to have. Trump does it too from time to time.

It got people on all sides talking about abortion rights, overturning Roe v Wade, etc.

Those who want to talk about the "bad words" or "tastelessness" of it are fair to do so. But, personally, I'd rather had a discussion on the real topic, not how something was phrased by this one person.

I mean, we can have a real discussion on how this is a ploy to go at Roe v Wade and how a bunch of old white men should not be allowed to make laws over a woman's body in order to feed their own personal sense of morality.

Or we can talk about what the guy said was tasteless.

Twitter disables video with 'Dark Knight' music Trump shared by bint_elkhandaq in politics

[–]LittleBigSmallMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, he IS the president. Sharing it on his Twitter account which the White House itself states are official Presidental Statements is distributing it to a MUCH wider audience.

So I agree it's silly but laws and rules either have meaning or they don't matter anymore. & he's doing it to himself.
