If that is him ( maybe is ) he’s in jail For Life. He’ll never get out.
If you think I’m him, well I’m not. I sold all of my silly hardware to cash-heavy Hicks long ago, because hardware is both stupid and a trap.
And if you’re trying to set me up for a hit… well I almost never leave my house. My door has a sign on it that says “please knock”.
( Golly, I sure hope you aren’t trying to set me up for murder… )
The tweets were during lockdown and elaborated on elsewhere through actual legislation.
Talk about holding dems to a very different and ridiculous standard: " If I can quote mine you, and ignore the actual context of what it was about, then those crazy dems "
That doesn’t change them being terrible things to say out loud in public if you expect people to take you seriously.
This is the most idiotic fucking comeback of all times, so it baffles me why you and your buddies are so keen on it.
I hold Democrats to the standards I expect of people I am going to support.
I don’t support any Republicans at the moment (or at the decade), so I’m not sure why you’re so obsessed with what standard I hold them to. The answer is “the same standard I hold Democrats to”, which is why I don’t support any of them. DUHHHHH!
If your complaint is that REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS hold Republicans to a lower standard than I hold Democrats to, you’re right! They clearly have lower standards than I do! How on Earth does that impact what my standards should be?
Indeed. I don’t even understand WTF @Mijin’s incoherent statement is supposed to mean. “The tweets were during lockdown”? What the fuck difference is that supposed to make?
“Elaborated on elsewhere through actual legislation”? That’s totally incoherent. Legislation doesn’t “elaborate” anything. If what you mean is that these goofballs supported actual reasonable legislation that represented what they really meant to say, then they bloody well should have said what they really meant instead of the bullshit they they did say.
Look, a tweet is by definition a self-contained short message. The full tweets of what these morons said was posted upthread by @Babale. They said exactly what I said they did. There is nothing in any additional text around it that redeems this nonsense in any way. That is the start, end, and the sum total of what this conversation is about.
It’s what Ignorant MAGAs do. It’s why Bill Maher should be forced off the air.
You’ll never get Blabberbale to agree with you; he’s either paid not to or willfully ignorant about American politics.
When you see his name, ignore it. Like Bill Maher, nothing he says bears listening to.
Ironically another quote mine. I didn’t just say you were holding them to a different standard, I said, in the same sentence, you were holding them to a ridiculous standard.
But you saw a thing you thought you could use for a Maher-like jump-off, and went for it.
You’re insane. Besides completely failing to even try to address what relevance “during the lockdown” has to anything, it’s impossible by definition to “mischaracterize” a tweet by simply quoting the tweet.
Uh, context is still important, AFAIK, taking context into account, even landlords that at first did not get help from the government in those days, would have been helped.by the “insane” ideas back then.
Cancel rents and mortgages
The Emergency Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act, a proposal by Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), would cancel rent and mortgage payments for primary homes, including payments made in April, until one month after the national emergency ends.
In effect, though, this amounts to another form of rent and mortgage assistance, because it would also provide financial support to landlords and lenders to cover missed payments. The onus to seek government relief would be on landlords and lenders, who are typically more financially stable, rather than on renters, who tend to be far less wealthy.
The legislation enjoys widespread support among national progressive groups, including Action Center on Race and the Economy, People’s Action, PolicyLink, as well as local organizations like Washington Community Action Network. Pramila Jayapal, the Seattle area’s congressional representative, joined Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), Ayanna Pressley (D-Massachusetts), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) in sponsoring Omar’s legislation.
The bill would set up two funds under HUD from which landlords and mortgage lenders can apply for support. HUD would give priority to nonprofits and other landlords with few assets.
To qualify, landlords must adhere to fair housing practices for five years, including common ones such as pursuing only just-cause eviction and banning discrimination based on source of income, criminal history, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression. They must also pursue more far-reaching policies like banning rent increases and agreeing to rent vacant dwellings to households that qualify for tenant-based rental assistance programs like Section 8 vouchers.
Turns out that yes, a tweet can be mischaracterized.
I believe it was the way they had trouble reading while they Sucked Bill Maher’s Cock in an enthusiastic fashion. Hope it tasted like Cinnabon frosting…!
Do yourself a favour. Log off, have some black coffee, maybe put some food into your stomach, and try to go to sleep. You’ve been a big disruption to this thread even when you were (maybe) sober.
There was a time when I would have looked forward to Maher interviewing Trump; I would have expected him to embarrass the feck out of him, or at least pose some genuine questions. Now I figure there will be a set t of talking points / questions dictated by the White House.
How many think donnie will go through with it?
What do you think donnie thinks he’ll get out of it?
Will you watch it?
I don’t have the answers to the first two, but if it goes down, I will probably watch.
