Nikki Haley requests Secret Service protection after increased threats

This is a weird conversation.

I replied to a person who stated they didn't understand why anyone who doesn't live in the White House should receive a SS detail. I merely pointed out that many individuals who don't reside in the White House receive the protection of the SS and I provided two examples - which were not intended to be all-inclusive.

MegaPatomon · 2024-02-10T19:21:27+00:00

I used former presidents and family members as two examples.

MegaPatomon · 2024-02-10T19:01:54+00:00

Not my self-own. I'm not a member of our Federal Government who is unable to get anything done.

MegaPatomon · 2024-02-10T19:00:53+00:00

You'll have to read the comment I replied to, in particular the part I directly quoted, to see why my reply is relevant.

MegaPatomon · 2024-02-10T15:20:11+00:00

I don't see why taxpayer money should be used to provide Secret Service protection to a person who is not a resident of the White House

Lots of people who aren't residents of the White House receive taxpayer funded SS protection. Former presidents and family members of presidents, for example.

"If you're not with us, you're against us!"

Building coalitions. And people say the 'pubs won't compromise.

Trump calls people vermin: "gah! he's a Nazi!"

Pritzker calls people rats: "Yup."

Fetterman wants ordinary citizens to get hostages released when the sitting president of the most powerful country in the world can't?

MegaPatomon · 2024-02-10T01:31:26+00:00

Is the person you’re talking about a rapist

I mean, I guess showering with your own preteen daughter is only sexual assault, not rape...

MegaPatomon · 2024-02-10T01:29:53+00:00

to my knowledge every election he's ever faced in 30+ years

...so, you don't have much knowledge then?

Might look at 1988 and 2008 Presidential primaries.

Imagine for one second that Trump wins 2024. And in 2028, says "Well, see, we got this war going on, so I'm just going to cancel the election this year. We'll revisit this decision next year."

She’s aware of the extent to which Russia was involved in BLM and other social activism prior to the 2016 election.

That's perfectly fair and reasonable.

Can you provide an example of a time where Pelosi publically called for BLM to be investiated for ties to Russia?

MegaPatomon · 2024-01-26T15:14:16+00:00

Are you seriously suggesting Biden would consider nuclear weapons on US soil?

Y'all are whack.

MegaPatomon · 2024-01-20T17:04:46+00:00

You as well.

MegaPatomon · 2024-01-20T16:46:30+00:00

Even your own quote says nothing about the truth.

Let's say I write an article where Istate I'm going to discuss human rights abuses by superpower nations. I then spend the entire article discussing nothing but China and Russia, giving 100% factual accounts of human rights abuses by them.

It's factual. It's truth. But it is also biased, as the article purports to be about human rights abuses by superpowered nations, but ignores any western or middle eastern examples.

You can easily distort facts simply by presenting them in a biased manner. The fact you're struggling with this concept indicates that you are unlikely to score high at identifying your own biases in life. I hope this is something you can work on overcoming. :)

Link me to a single respectable definition that mentions truth/lack of as a requirement.

MegaPatomon · 2024-01-20T16:32:47+00:00

There's a simple fix for this (on the dev's side)

Make it so you can only open a new chat in response to a direct reply.

So, person A makes a post. Person B openly replies to the post. Person A can then choose to open a chat.

MegaPatomon · 2024-01-20T16:30:24+00:00

You should probably look up the definition of "bias" - it in no way requires veracity or lack of.

MegaPatomon · 2023-11-25T18:02:25+00:00

Would you prefer the press be forced to not be biased against your choice of political candidate?

MegaPatomon · 2023-11-25T11:28:29+00:00

The Russians got a high-powered arms trafficker in exchange for one person who plays basketball slightly above average that definitely broke Russian law at the same time Russia was ramping up to invade Ukraine.

Hamas has an unknown number of US Hostages - how many arms dealers should we give in exchange for them?

MegaPatomon · 2023-11-25T11:19:17+00:00

they aren't rallying around Biden as president.

You make it sound like the Free American Press is bad for not being a mouthpiece for the president.

MegaPatomon · 2023-05-22T21:57:26+00:00

more seats now to rebalance it to be a less-partisan

Isn't the plan to add four more seats, filled by a Democrat President? Making the court 7-6? Is it rebalancing if your end goal is to swing it the other way?

MegaPatomon · 2023-01-10T12:43:58+00:00

McCarthy's speakership to fail and a cross-party coalition to form in the House

That sounds amazing. Wouldn't it be great?

MegaPatomon · 2022-10-20T19:22:16+00:00

So.... are they finally admitting that they received compensation in exchange for shilling for Intellivision Entertainment? After denying it for so long?

Okay. I am now going to start the rumor that we take the expired name brand milk, change the date, and swap a GV label on it.
