Saw both of these yesterday. Since Queen Elizabeth just checked out and I’m unaware of a Queen of CT, I’m voting Biden won this round with Fetterman.
May the mental duel continue.

I'll take a stroke victim over a lying election denier any day of the week.
Fettermen will do nothing, Oz would help erode our democracy with that bs by convincing people like you.

Yes, and that was terrible. It pales in comparison to Trump (A sitting freaking president) riling up his idiots to storm the capital in an attempt to overturn an election. What were the weapons for? What were the handcuffs for? And the gallows?
How many cops died that day? The people you supposedly support?
> Also isn’t Hillary still saying she was cheated out of an election?
She claims that the FBI re-opening the case affected the election. Which is correct.
She claims that russia interfered and influence the election. Which is correct (republican congressman agree on this report)
She did not claim that millions of ballots were changed or trashed like Trump did. There were court cases to back up that he was lying to, he lost all of them.
So not at all the same as what we are talking about but great job lying again.
> Everything you think pubs are doing are actually being done by Dems. The most corrupt pos on earth.
Just lol. It's not even close. Trump could #### in your mouth and you'd ask for more.

4 people in the crowd died and 5 officers died as a result.
Im not sure why you are downplaying the suicides as if they couldn’t be caused by the trauma experienced that day.
I’d take 60 of my men getting injured over 5 getting killed, idk about you.
Keep downplaying Jan 6th all you want, it was all caused directly by one idiot.

Ok, sure, but I think we can agree that's a bit pedantic.
> The answer to that is zero. The later deaths can’t be proven to be linked. The fire extinguisher guy was the biggest swing and a miss. The suicides are possible, but how many cops off themselves over actually doing their job and protecting? The ones I’ve heard about have had to do with dealing with horrific murder scenes and such. Did any of the Secret Service off themselves after being violently attacked in 2020?
It's possible, seems odd that they all just happened to off themselves after (what was probably) the most traumatic event of their lives, though.

> At this point though, I don’t think he told anyone to enter the Capitol or beat up cops.
I mean, you think he's going to literally say it? No, but he told them to "fight like hell" and that he'd be there with him (of course he wasn't because he's a coward). He also said Pence deserved the chants of "hang Mike Pence".
Not sure what else he was trying to get the crowd to do...
Here is what I know though if this was reversed and Biden made that speech (and of course the months long lying campaign about the election), there would be no doubt in your mind who was responsible for it.
Conservatives cry and scream about preserving our democracy yet a Republican president is the one trying to undo it.

Are you equating those to someone that has an active angry mob in front of them within walking distance of the capital?
I agree that, especially, waters one is problematic; but lets say I grant you all three. How does it change what trump did?

So you agree that he didn't put a stop to it when he could and obviously should have, but won't concede that he might have been speaking literally? It doesn't compute. If he really was being figurative, why didn't he call off the dogs immediately?
I also don't understand how you could call it spontaneous when he was riling up his base on a lie for months. His echo chamber was calling people to be in DC for something "big".

Fair enough, I disagree on intent but you're right that doesn't prove it on it's own
> As for spontaneity, I can differentiate between people who were pissed about the election and showed up there to just rally and protest vs those who got caught up in the moment and went too far vs the people who had plans (as stupid and far-fetched as they were with weapons stored miles away in a hotel room). Those are all people who had different purposes and mindsets at the event.
I agree on that point

That the J6 ‘insurrection’ was staged by FBI subcontractors (euphemistically characterized as ‘confidential informants’) is proven by logical deduction. Make no mistake about it, the government choreographed J6 conspiracy is supported by corrupt politicians (e.g., the majority) of Democrats and Republicans.
Recall that mistaken public release of official video / audio clips exposed FBI ‘confidential informant’ Ray Epps having (a) pre-incited a crowd on J5 that they should go into the Capitol Bldg on J6, (b) led one group of J6’ers on J6 across a section of temporary security barriers and to the permanent barriers … at which point he melted away -and then- (c) led a second group of J6’ers on J6 across a different set of temporary security barriers.
FBI won’t comment about Ray Epps on the guise that investigations are ongoing. That is the FBI’s go to excuse for what will be no sincere efforts at investigation … such as is the case with Hunter Biden and was the case with Joe Biden from back when VP Biden bragged in an interview that he threatened to have $1B in aid to Ukraine cancelled unless Ukraine fired a prosecutor who was investigating an unnamed person.
(1). FBI will not allow release of official video / audio of J6 riots on the pretext of ‘national security.’ The FBI eventually conjured up the details of ‘national security’ as being to protect the identities of the FBI’s ‘confidential informants.’
(2). FBI can easily ‘fuzz over’ all of the ‘confidential informants’ in the video / audio clips to protect the identities of the ‘confidential informants’ aka FBI contractor riot instigators. Then the video / audio footage could be released to the J6’er defense counsel and to the public.
Sounds easy and safe. Why doesn’t this happen? Here’s why (hint … it’s a Catch 22 situation for the FBI and corrupt Dem and Pub politicians):
(*-A). Video / audio clips which conceal the faces of all the ‘confidential informants’ would definitively reveal the large extent to which the FBI had deployed these people to infiltrate the J6 protestor crowd.
(*-B). Evidence of the inciting activities of the ‘fuzzed over’ confidential informants would be revealed to defense counsel and to the public. In other words, numerous other pieces of evidence that J6 insurrection as being choreographed by the FBI would be exposed.
(*-C). The FBI, recognizing that (*-A) and (*-B) would blow the lid off of the FBI’s conspiracy, will never agree to the ‘fuzzing over’ of ‘confidential informants.’ The large majority of Dem and Pub elected officials would never push the FBI to do this.
(*-D). On the other hand, if FBI only selectively ‘fuzzes over’ some ‘confidential informants,’ then those ‘unprotected informants’ who are caught inciting the crowd will then be identified; this would create a whole slew of other Ray Epps sub-contractors that the FBI would have to cover up.
(*-E). For those FBI sub-contract inciters who the FBI chooses to not protect, the FBI would need to somehow silence or ‘make disappear’ … along with the families of the ‘disappeared’ sub-contractors.
(***). Both (*-C) and (*-D) are extremely messy; FBI brass would suffer from a new wave of FBI whistleblowers for doing this. Even the corrupt Dem & Pub politicians would turn on the FBI brass in this case.
Xxxxxxx
To summarize, if the USA’s system of law enforcement and justice has a shred of ‘equal justice for all’ ethos remaining, then the video / audio footage will allow for ‘fuzzed over’ FBI confidential informants to be revealed in their entirety.
That will never happen. Thus, every honest person with two interconnected neurons realizes that (spin on Orwell coming):
All Americans are equal under the law.
But some Americans are more equal than other Americans.

You have no credible argument to refute anything that I said.
Wasting everyone’s time with ‘I won’t listen to this because it erodes my pre-set statements’ is the only bankrupt response you can muster.
You’ve been outed as a lefty propagandist to push all Democrat party narratives.

The fact that you believe in a fictional character speaks more about your state of mind than mine... It's hard to take you serious when you call me crazy and then turn around and assert that devils and talking snakes/donkeys are totally real.

I'll make you a deal, I'll give you the definition of a communist, and you show me where John Fetterman is a communist.
My guess is, that you also don't know what a Democratic Socialist is (which I am not, but Fetterman claims to be) and are confusing it for a communist. Feel free to clarify, though.
Here is the definition of communism: a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned, and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.

Both socialism and communism control the means of production
Both socialism and communism do not support the concept of private property
A Democratic Socialist and Communist differ because the Democratic Socialist is naive (or a liar) and believes in democracy (or representative republic) and the first amendment.
A Communist is a realist and honest because they know that a democracy can never exist where the government controls production where there is no private property.
All communist politicians call themselves socialists
The USSR called themselves a “socialist republic”
China calls themselves a “socialist republic”
So the difference between a communist and a socialist is their naïveté and/or truthfulness.

Leftist playbook is to NEVER provide detailed definitions
1
Jun 18, 2023, 11:10 AM
|

It is clear as day from this thread that you are a master practitioner of the standard leftist playbook.
One of those standard plays is to never provide a detailed definition of a leftist phrase (such as systemic racism).
Another standard play is to label their opposition (which includes but isn’t limited to politicians) with hyperbolic adjectives that they will not support with examples or case histories.
(*). Lefties know that if they provide detailed definitions of a go-to lefty phrase, the impact of their phrase withers in the public eye.
(*). Lefties know that if they provide details behind their hyperbolic characterization of opponents, that the public will immediately realize that their characterization of their enemy is wildly inflated. Thus, their characterization is discredited and becomes a topic of parody.
(***). The only defense that lefties can cough up when challenged to provide detailed definitions of go-to phrases and case data behind their hyperbolic characterizations of their enemies is to spew invectives or to filibuster the person(s) who ask them to provide that supporting info.
You get the Order of Lenin medal for strict adherence to the leftist tactics of argument.
Stalin smiles at you from Hades.

Can you hear yourself? For one, I literally left him with a definition. Two, you are literally labeling the opposition. What do you think you are doing with the leftist/commie talk?
You're not a very critical thinker, you are a parrot. Both politically and religiously.

You’ll never take the Pepsi challenge.
Already, you are pretending that you addressed the issue previously.
It would be nothing for you to C&P your previous details to prove your point, but instead you expect everyone to wade through your pool of other meaningless posts to find the chocolate chip in the pile of rabbit pellets.
Thanks for exhibiting the exact behavior which exemplifies the standard lefty M.O.

I'm not google, look up the definition of a socialist, a democratic socialist and a communist. They are not the same and yet you equate communism with democratic socialist.
You are going to have to educate yourself if you want to stop sounding like a self-proclaimed mouth breather.

Well if they are so different, then it should be so simple to explain, right?
Should only take you a minute or so to type up something pithy, no?
You probably don’t even need to google it with that big ole brain of yours, right?

Ok I'll play.
Let me ask you a question before I do so.
Do you think Democratic Socialist and Communist are the same thing?

Ok, I’ll tell you what I think, again…. Since you didn’t read it the first time…
Economically they are pretty much the same. Neither believe in private property.
Politically they are different - the democratic socialist professes to believe in a democracy and the first amendment.
A communist doesn’t believe a democracy can exist in the absence of private property, and believes an individuals rights to free speech are subservient to the collective good.
Pretty much every communist regime (and politician) has referred to themselves as a socialist republic for obvious reasons 🤣

Notice how well 16and18 sticks with the lefty playbook.
NEVER directly answer a question from your opponent that threatens the specious lefty argument. Instead, turn the conversation so that your argumentative enemy has to answer questions.
NEVER agree to define in detail any lefty ‘catch phrase.’ Attack the requester instead as a tactic of deflection.
You’ve cornered him. Don’t let him get away with his B.S.

Off to a bad start. As that is not true. Private property is completely compatible with DS. Small-scale private property and businesses still exist.
The main idea is that the big guys that effect the public good should not be left purely to profit-driven enterprises.
> Politically they are different - the democratic socialist professes to believe in a democracy and the first amendment.
Not sure why you say "professes", but yes, that's correct.
> A communist doesn’t believe a democracy can exist in the absence of private property, and believes an individuals rights to free speech are subservient to the collective good.
good
> Pretty much every communist regime (and politician) has referred to themselves as a socialist republic for obvious reasons 🤣
Ok? I don't subscribe to either philosophy, nor do I think Fetterman has any pull whatsoever here.
It was still the better option to choose fetterman over someone who is actively subverting democracy by undermining our faith in elections.
Game. Set. Match. if you care about our democracy. I'm not sure you do, you seem to just care that pubs win.

Ok, here is what encyclopedia britannica
Democratic Socialism: political ideology that supports the establishment of a democratically run and decentralized form of socialist economy. Modern democratic socialists vary widely in their views of how a proper socialist economy should function, but all share the goal of abolishing capitalism rather than improving it through state regulation (as preferred by social democrats). They also prioritize democracy as an end over democracy as a means, and some democratic socialists see revolution as an acceptable method of achieving the democracy they desire.
Capitalism being defined as means of production are privately owned and production is guided and income distributed largely through the operation of markets.
Maybe you should write your own encyclopedia and make up new definitions for stuff!

Again DS allows for privately own property and businesses but sure, keep saying you knew that.
Also, I really don't give a #### about DS/Communism. They both suck, and we are at risk for neither here in America.

Well I think that is the essence of our disagreement right there in a sentence.
You think we are at no risk of communism or socialism in the US.
And I think you are just plain wrong - we are at incredible risk of going down that path.
I hear AOC, Fetterman, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and the rest of the squad talk about doing away with capitalism and I observe all the young/naive people of this country that have no appreciation for the destructive force that is communism/socialism. It scares the crap out of me.
I also believe that the single biggest threat to democracy (or really a representative republic if we are being real here) is communism under the cloak of “democratic socialism” or whatever the squad and Bernie Sanders want to call it.

The single biggest threat right now just got indicted. He convinced something like 40% of the country that our elections are fraudulent and then attempt to stop a legitimate election.
So if you actually cared about preserving our democracy and not bloviating about liberal youth, you'd acknowledge that.

We will just have to agree to disagree on that. I understand your point. But it’s one of those things that’s purely an opinion/judgment call.
Now, here is something I’d like to know. Lets say hypothetically that trump is convicted or signs some type of plea deal never to run for elected office.
And let’s say Ron Desantis is the republican nominee. And he runs against Joe Biden in the general election….
Who are you voting for?

god, I hope not. Luckily that won't happen.
My thinking on that would be much the same criteria but I would add the following:
Bernie is so far left he can't get any traction within his own party. So my thought would be that even as president, he wouldn't have enough support to do any real damage.
If however, I was convinced that he would have the support, then I might have to begrudgingly vote Desantis in that case. I have no interest in democratic socialism. Capitalism has a ton of warts but I think we'd be better off addressing them then switching to DS.

16and18’s argument has entered deep water..
Verbal floundering in a futile attempt to postpone his argument’s pond bottom siesta.
By virtue of boring his betters into just wandering off, 16and18’s argument can drown in peace knowing that no one will hang around to watch it slip beneath the surface.

lol, have you seen your conspiracy rants? Also, I've been correct so far. 81 does not appear to know the difference between communists and democratic socialist. I'm also a capitalist, so he's clearly ignorant or dumb, not sure.

Yet you cannot articulate how the distinction I drew between the two in in err
And, that’s great that you are a capitalist! Would you like a gold star?
You forget - you got your shorts in a wad because I called John Fetterman a commie.
Why do you keep thinking I called you a commie?

No, it was “God save the Queen, man.” The man presumably was inserted by Joe for emphasis.
Yet, the MSM will ignore this brain flatulence from Joe. He will not be asked to explain the inexplicable.
Being President is a pretty important job that at a minimum demands that the person holding that job is mentally competent whether we agree with or not with his politics.
No one if they’re honest would hire someone like Biden as their attorney, accountant, doctor or contractor.
How far are the Dems gonna let this play out before invoking the 25th Amendment?
Forget Trump, Biden is the President. He is not well and it’s time for Harris despite her negatives, which are many, to take over. She’s mentally competent. To pretend Biden is competent is completely dishonest.

Biden is a joke and the media is dishonest as they will not report what is going on with his total lack of the ability to have cognitive thoughts.

Did you see the reporter that asked him:
“Why did the Ukraine FBI informant file refer to you as the ‘big guy’?”
And Biden replied “Why'd you ask such a dumb question?"

And, as for indictments? so what? - to quote Sol Wachtler, “you can indict a ham sandwich”

Those that kept Trump out of office couldn't have remorse as it saved many from long prison terms or worse. Biden voters are too stupid to see the damage they caused.
