Matt Gaetz continued to prove what a numbskull fool he is during yesterday’s testimonies. Besides opening every questioning of each witness by more or less shouting “WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR!!!1!1”, or give such big brain critiques of witnesses by pointing out that they’re Constitution professors with degrees and therefore not credible because they’re smart (you read that right), but he alos said that instead of Trump the person who should be getting impeached - yes I mean present tense - is…Obama.

Yeah, i’m going to dispute this one? Starlight might be egocentric, but it’s in a “I know what’s best for everyone” way - she’s absolutely an extreme authoritarian leftist. I seriously do not believe that Donald Trump cares what’s best for anyone but him.

That’s sound advice, Trump or no Trump.
 
@Dustcan  
Crazy thing is, the Constitution itself limits the power of impeachment to removal and disqualification from federal office. Obama’s already served his two terms as President. Are they so afraid he’ll come back? As, what, a Supreme Court Justice or something? ’Cause he seems retired as fuck to me. Or is this just the political equivalent of the Cadaver Synod?

It’s Gaetz juet being the good little court jester he’s always been.
 
At best I think there’s a clause in impeachment that prevents the impeached from holding any kind of office position in the future. So to give Gaetz credit he doesn’t deserve, he’s trying to ensure the scary black man Former Democrat President can’t influence policy or law in any official capacity again.
 
You know on top making funny noises and silly gestures in front of his manchild Dear Leader.

The one professor that the GOP had, Jonathan Turley, teaches at my Uni.
 
It should be noted that he legit teaches a class on how to file a lawsuit so…it is little wonder that he defended Trump. I’ve considered taking his class, actually.

Wasn’t his only “defense” just that the impeachment process is going too fast? Not that the Dems are doing it wrong or that Trump didn’t do the thing, but that the process should be dragged on for a couple years a la Nixon?

TikTok Admits It Suppressed Videos by Disabled, Queer, and Fat Creators [Slate]
 
This is why you should never advocate for censorship, cause it will likely work out in your favor. TikTok shows you how, they rolled out a suppression that they believed will scourged cyberbullying, but instead it only suppressed content from those who are “vulnerable to cyberbullying.”
 
This brings up the question, can you censor mean people on the internet?

Yes. Carl “Sargon of Akkad” Benjamin and Sam Harris and Milo Yianapoulos and Lauren Southern.
 
And it’s deplatforming, not censorship.

To be fair, I didn’t tag it ‘mouthpiece’, and apparently it’s still not tagged as such, but you’re welcome to do so. I would think you should just block ‘politics’ tag, unless you actually think there’s sometimes stuff posted with such a tag that isn’t at least somewhat offensive or ‘inflammatory’ nowadays. Let me know when we aren’t struggling to stop our democratic republic from becoming a god-damned fascist ethnostate, and I’ll tone it down, mmkay?
 
 
@Typhoon2000  
The new trailer for Mulan came out today and don’t be fooled, A movie that stars an actor/actress that hates human rights cannot be watched.
 
We should all keep boycotting as many things as possible that come from mainland China, anyway. Because like I’ve said before on this thread, even tho the republican politicians and media propagandists are awful, the chinese ‘communist’ party is infinitely more horrific and terrible, and deserve zero support. Republicans hope for the ‘fascist dream’, the chinese government lives it.
 
 
@Dustcan  
Matt Gaetz is somehow even worse than Jim Jordan. They’d both play ‘school-age’ bullies in a shitty Disney made-for-tv movie if they didn’t have a fucking cartoon villain as president for them to admire and worship.

She was an extreme authoritarian leftist, until her whole worldview shattered by end of season 5 anyway. And Starlight only tricked herself into thinking she knew what was best for everyone, what she really wanted was to force everypony to be her friend, to cope with crippling insecurity & loneliness issues. Trump just plain tricks idiots for his own gain, like any con man.  
So while that is a subtle distinction, I still say they both share many disturbing traits common to terrible cult leaders.

@Dustcan  
Did Turely even argue anything about the actual impeachment accusations, or just the fucking process like most of these republican clowns and their lackeys?  
Apparently this ‘professor’ also talks shit on Fox News, and is yet another bastard who was totally for impeachment against Clinton, yet mysteriously not so interested in it for Trump, so already he’s a total disqualified hack job. You should reconsider taking classes from such a two-faced scumbag.
 
 
@SombrLiz  
Could you elaborate a bit? I don’t see how censoring mean people & bullies can ‘backfire’ like this unless it’s either intentional or they relied on an automated system. If they have actual moderators or whatever that actually did it properly then it shouldn’t be difficult.

Here’s the opinion the will likely piss some of you off, deplatforming/censoring people is a terrible idea for both sides.

Trump got laughed at by other world leaders at NATO.
 
When even Boris Johnson is laughing at you, it’s time to rethink your life.

@SombrLiz  
Here’s the opinion that will likely piss some fence-sitting centrists off: One side is wrong. It’s the one that frequently spouts about Freeze Peach and is also simultaneously committed to deplatforming/censoring their opponents anyway because that’s the only way they can win their “debates” with “FACTS AND LOGIC” and further far right ideology. They’ll deplatform and censor anyway whether or not they themselves get deplatformed/censored for bad faith tactics and hate speech and violating the TOS.
