Maybe Clothy wants a safe place.
I fully understand why people would want to lobby an Electoral College elector into changing his mind, but the use of death threats cannot possibly have any effect other than to further harden a Trump elector into voting Trump.
One guy says he got death threats. On his phone? Easy to check. By e-mail? Also easy. By snail mail? Has anyone bothered?
Facts are not important. We have been assured that facts do not matter anymore by the highest authorities.
What is important is that an elector FELT that he’d received death threats. His feelings are just as important as your facts.
Be honest: do you really find it implausible that one or two nut jobs actually issued a death threat?
I’m just gonna be over here waiting for proof and evidence. I mean, that’s what we’re supposed to wait for before we start up the outrage machine, right?
I find it plausible that one or two nutjobs could have issued death threats. I also find it plausible that some people might lie about getting death threats to further their own agenda. I’m going to go stand next to Chisquirrel until something resembling evidence turns up before I decide whether this is of any concern.
Wait, are you using Chisquirrel for cover?
We knew it was coming, but Clinton wants press controls to combat “fake news”:
Since this is the stupid liberal ideas thread after all, it’s amazing how many things liberals see standing in their way now that are structural: gerrymandering, Citizens United, the injustice of our federalized system, and now fake news.
I guess it’s easier to complain about the rules that have existed for 225 years than to just persuade people that your policies are good.
Cite that she wants “press controls”?
She did not call for “press controls”, at least not in your cite.
Bipartisan legislation to address fake news? C’mon now, don’t be dense.
Christ, read the fucking cite.
Don’t be disingenuous.
Okay, so only press controls on foreign fake news?
I can merely repeat my previous request: don’t be disingenuous.
ETA: honestly, I don’t have the strength to argue this point. Yeah, sure, press controls. Whatever. God bless.
adaher isn’t smart enough to be disingenuous. He’s just that stupid.
No, I can actually make reasonable inferences. You don’t legislate on something you don’t intend to control or decontrol. That’s what legislation is. Don’t play dumb.
OK, so I clicked on this thread wondering what today’s stupid liberal idea was. (Now, I’ve been disappointed before with this thread failing to deliver.) So I limited my reading to just today’s posts. And you know what? Fucking nothing. Again.
I’m going to go read about whatever dumb shit the right wing did today, those assholes know how to deliver.
