ex-President Trump

Can you pls stop calling me with feminine distortions of my name thanks

Ok so if this is your read why don't they go on board with election denialism, conspiracy theories about the label system being corrupted against him and so on?

because it's not 1940's nazi italy?

i mean most of the rightwing media thought like that and then did just that. and it cost them tons of money in defamation lawsuits. so it's important to straddle the fence.

cnn has decidedly taken a rightward shift of their own failing in trying to scoop some of that money.

most of the publications you find in the "middle" or "left-center" use passive language like "trump's election claims" in headlines instead of directly calling them lies.

the AP article about that rambling incoherent speech didn't mention it, and instead was called "trump complains about teleprompters"

StoppedRainingMen, it is not permissible to modify another poster's username as an insult, and a poster's preferred pronouns and gender are to be respected. Any further violations of this rule will result in an immediate temp ban. Thank you.

The Hill: Justice Alito’s wife vows revenge for flag controversy in secret recording

The wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said that she wants to get back at people who raised a controversy after she and the justice were criticized last month for flying politically affiliated flags at their homes.

“You come after me, I’m gonna give it back to you,” Martha-Ann Alito said in the recording of a private conversation at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3.

“There will be a way, it doesn’t have to be now, but there will be a way they know,” she added. “Don’t worry about it.”

I guess for black male to kneel during the anthem at the NFL is a bad form of political protest
But not for white wife SC judge by putting the flag down ?
I wonder who should show the most restrain ….
NFL players neutrality is so important on the political front I suppose .

That's what any rightwing person would feel like. You attack me, i defend myself. How? doing anything in my power that i can legally do within the system that can damage you. And enjoying every moment of it.

That's the normal, healthy, moral, human reaction for people who don't have leftist morals. Destroying your enemy is moral, is one of the most moral pursues in life actually.

Do you really want to murder every Marxist? And consider that to be moral

Really weird that right wingers don't engage in political violence, given that's how they feel.

not weird if you read the "legally" part no

Under constitutional democratic rule, for a rightwing person something needs to be legal in order to be moral (necessary but not sufficient). We aren't eversive.

Ah yes, I forgot, right wingers are the law and order people. Lol.

I mean you guys should pick one narrative and stick with it, because you can't both consider Bukele a righwing autocrat because he uses according to you guys too much violence to fix crime, then deny that being rightwing is about law and order.

Bukele is rightwing 101

And if they changed their laws to allow point blank execution of many of those gang members, democratically, then it would be very very very moral to execute each and everyone of them

thats great.
so maybe one day with enough democratically right wing racist , we shall have slavery back again because a bunch of idiots got together in enough number to render slavery morally acceptable and justify....

maybe just maybe some ideas , even democratically voted is never moral but just plain stupid...

yes if the vast majority of the population wants something and you are a democracy you get that.

So if you dislike something you need to keep convincing people that something is bad. And you can criminalize being in favor of something that is too much against the social order you consider viable.

So for ex you could criminalize being pro slavery and execute pro slavery people so they never reach the majority. And it would be fully democratic to do that, if you change the constitution to allow for that.

You could even think of reaching a "radical centrist" society where both leftwing and rightwing extremisms are criminalized with the death penalty.

Hell, I think it would be moral to execute murderous gang members even without the laws allowing it.

But I don't think it is moral to murder someone just because you disagree with them about the best economic / political system, and I would have thought you considered Marxists as your enemies more than criminals. I certainly don't think it is moral, healthy, or natural to want to murder people who disagree with you on policy issues, and I even think it's natural to want to murder someone for fairly minor violations of etiquette like cutting me off in traffic. Not that I would murder someone just for that, even if I knew I could get away with it, but it certainly crosses my mind. It never has crossed my mind to want to murder anyone for supporting a system I disagree with.

Now maybe you meant something else by "enemy" than your personal enemy. But if you meant an enemy in some kind of war, I still disagree that it is normal or healthy to revel in that. I think most mentally healthy soldiers don't actually enjoy killing the enemy, and mostly regret that circumstances require it. If a soldier truly loves killing the enemy, I would say he is not a mentally healthy person (although he is the kind of person you want in your army).

In flagrante sure but after being held captive no, mostly because you need a precise process to determine guilt

Even if the system he proposes (and is actively ready to bring about, explicitly, with detailed books about it, conferences, associations promoting it and so on), say, is one of genocide of all non whites?

Nobody said Bukele "uses too much violence to fix crime", you just made that up. The issue people have with Bukele is locking people up without basic due process.

Jesus told all his followers to destroy their enemies. It's the godly thing to do.

Btw, Alito's wife wasn't attacked - she was the one who instigated the confrontation according to the neighbors.

I suspect she thinks differently.

Re "jesus was a pacifist", while broadly true, i think you should check what actual christianity has been about since it existed as an organized and powerful religion.

It's almost like conservatives are married to the old testament, progressives to the new one. And that's not a recent development.

No matter how much conservatives claim to be christians in some places, they don't even attempt to follow the (radical leftist) teaching of Jesus. They never did. They explicity disagree with most tenets of Jesus teachings. And rightly so i would add, but that's just my opinion.

So it's not much of a gotcha to notice this today. I mean yes you can keep telling them they aren't proper christians at all, and that would be true. So what? religion is a tool to control the masses anyway, leaders never believe the crap they use to force behaviour among their subjects

Sounds like your point is that conservatives are either too dumb to understand the things they claim to believe, or they are lying hypocrites. Finally, we agree on something.

well you took that out of context
