he could've had a heart attack or whatnot, but again ... not having any trauma or injures to his neck proves nothing. He could've still been choked out.

Here is what one of the sleaziest demorats this country has ever seen had to say about mail in voting

Love how self-confident and narcissistic you are. Someday you'll die alone and no one will care.

Petty victories please small minds I guess. I'm more interested in dealing with the mega-corporations who are essentially in control of the modern means with which freedom of speech is expressed. The same corps that gave the MSM free passes on spreading nonstop misinformation, lies and conspiracy theories.

I never said I don't despise Twitter, Facebook, etc. for what they do. I just happen to love that a social media platform is pissing off our current president, because he's an impetuous (there's a new word for you TB!) child who cries when things don't go his way. When it comes down to freedom of information, social media controls it in unimaginably complex ways that warrant intense scrutiny.

"Freedom of speech" is an oft-misunderstood notion though, and not the same as freedom of information. Twitter isn't impeding Trump's freedom of speech at all. They're just offering "alternative facts." He's still free to say whatever he wants; and Twitter is free to provide additional commentary on his speech. That's actually freedom of speech working, if you wanna get down to it.

That's a fucking iconic photo. Damn.

That's a fucking iconic photo. Damn.

Especially after Van Jones just dunked on Hillary Clinton supporters, calling them more dangerous than Klansmen, and saying that every white person has a virus in their brain.

Pissing off Trump is easy, he's extremely thin-skinned, but he's an expert at counter-punching and that's usually when someone gets blown out. Lying Ted, Low Energy Jeb, Crooked Hillary, etc, and now an executive order threat. If you slap someone and then they counter by knocking you the fuck out, you didn't win.

I never said Trump's freedom of speech was being impeded, I'm saying that if Trump does this executive order it opens social media sites to lawsuit, meaning if someone gets censored by a site, has their account terminated and so on, they have a much better opportunity for recourse. Especially where political discrimination is concerned.

You win if your only goal was to piss them off.

and just for a few more chuckles regarding democrats messing with votes...

New details of Broward’s 2018 recount fiasco revealed by county auditor
In a newly published draft audit, County Auditor Bob Melton’s staff found that half the county’s polling places reported more votes than voters, and that mail ballots weren’t properly tracked, monitored or processed in a timely manner. Other, previously well-documented issues noted in the audit included the poor design of the ballot and the misplacement of more than 2,000 ballots during the recount.

Seeing as politics today is often reduced to a slapstick act, why the fuck not. I often entertain a fantasy of being close enough to Trump to throw a milkshake at him. Afterwards, I imagine the secret service would pin me to the ground and rush me off to an undisclosed location, kick the shit out of me, and the DA would accuse me of being part of a left-wing conspiracy to ruin all the president's linens.

I'd still feel like I won though.

The true winners would be us watching you get body-slammed on video, and maybe with the graces of a wishing star Trump gets a few punches in too.

I guess "winning" depends on your perspective...

I don't think you can be any funnier dude. And that milk's for my tits, no one else's.

Most of the time winning for me means I was entertained.



Denzel is such a G.

 

[Einherjar86]

Same! As I said, perspective.

 

[CiG]

Same! As I said, perspective.

I get that you are entertained by Trump getting pissed, I was meaning the people being retaliated upon aren't winning, sorry if I worded that confusingly earlier.

 

[Einherjar86]

Ah, well who knows whether the fuck the media magnates are entertained. I often wonder what entertains the titans of entertainment.
