But given your, ahem, "fluid" stance on this matter, I'm starting to realize why you decided to live in Thailand. No hate here buddy. You do you. Just leave the kids out of it.

Anyway, I'll leave it to Troy McClure to explain reality on this matter:

Poor thing. Do you know that the word for boyfriend and girlfriend is the same in the Thai language?
If you lived here you might have needed to be talked down off the ledge several times by now over just that one issue.

"We did work hand in hand with Fox News. And that came at the president's direction," she said. "If he didnt like something, we would immediately call Fox and have them fix it or try to make a news story out of it."

A dumbass.
To show you have absolutely dumb he is, now he's blaming Mike Pence for January 6th because if Mike had gone along with Donnie's cockamamie plan there would have been no violence. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-blames-...221444807.html.
The really sad part is that many charter members of the moron brigade ALREADY FEEL THIS WAY.

Their purpose is to protect The Agenda (open borders / Great Replacement, faggotry, feminism, anti-white hate, anti-Christian hate, rigged mail-in "elections", etc: we all know the drill by now). This is why they must be disbanded.

Is there a minority group that they don't target? How do you think Hitler came to power?

More from the DVS (Dominion Voting Systems) lawsuit proceedings...
On Nov 8th, 2020, Maria Bartiromo, had Trump's lawyer Sidney Powell on as a guest, to share her earth shattering evidence on how the election was stolen. Turns out, the night before Sidney Powell forwarded an email to Ms. Bartiromo, from her "source", the person who she based her gigantic claims of election fraud on.
Now get this, in the email, Sidney Powell's loony, nutjob, cuckoo bananas source, claims she got the the information from "the wind", as she explains:
"It's more like time-travel in a semi-conscious state ... The Wind tells me ... I'm a ghost" and that "I was in a car accident in 1992 ... I was internally decapitated ... and yet, I continue to walk the earth."

And the both siders you douches like to criticize are not your base. No for you douches, the base is a bunch of slugs collecting government checks and pensions. The Dems, who have to work for a living and deal with real bureaucratic bullshit, have long worshipped Matt Taibbi's honesty and integrity. And after resisting for so long, he and people like Glenn Greenwald have had to go onto Fox to be interviewed to be heard.
So while you douches are after something burgers which I guess means putting people in jail, law enforcement took a huge hit that you may not have noticed. And that is after their talking a huge hit for the 1-6 tapes given to Tucker Carlson, https://nypost.com/2023/03/07/jan-6-...ume-not-crime/.
In short, why was LE seeing if people were violating Twitter's terms of service versus being concerned with people actually breaking the law? Isn't people breaking the law what LE is all about? That was something a Republican Congressman asked these two "so called journalists". The journalists were asked if there was anything about breaking the law or illegal activity that was seen? And the answer was the government agencies never mentioned illegal activity in all their requests.
In general, Republicans are pro law enforcement so it is going to take incident after incident for them to see the FBI for what it is, a partisan apparatus. And now that they control the House, the Republicans are going to be scrutinizing every dime the FBI gets. This is not going to make splashy headlines, so you can blow it off as a nothing burger, but the Twitter files hearing had a hugely negative impact on these government agencies and the hacks the Democrats put up to protect said agencies failed horribly.
Still, even in a week with the Twitter Files and 1-6 tapes, this was the story of the week: The House voted unanimously Friday to declassify USA Intelligence information about the origins of COVID-19, a sweeping show of bipartisan support near the third anniversary of the start of the deadly pandemic.
The 419-0 vote was final approval of the bill, sending it to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law. End of story.
I am sure to you that this is a big nothing burger as well but to me, it is a reading of the tea leaves with regards to China, the 2024 election, and the bureaucracy running things.

Posts: 1604There IS a difference
These studies say it all. Although the studies are somewhat old (6 and 12 years old), they identify why conservatives are so fearful.
"Most societies are divided into a party that wants change (the more liberal party) and one that is afraid of change (the conservatives). The liberal party is generally more intellectual and the conservative party is more anti-intellectual.
The conservative party is big on national defense and magnifies our perception of threat, whether of foreign aggressors, immigrants, terrorists, or invading ideologies like Communism. To a conservative, the world really is a frightening place. " https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/b...in-study-finds.
And "Beyond differences in personality traits (see Table 1), the literature emphasizes differences in sensitivity and reactivity to negative stimuli, threat, and disgust between those on the extremes of a political conservative-liberal axis. Political conservatives, compared with political liberals, are more likely to interpret, attend to, remember, and respond to negative aspects of environmental stimuli, especially if they are novel and different. This "negativity bias" is evident in studies showing that political conservatism compared with liberalism is associated with greater, faster, and longer attentional focusing on negative images and greater physiological measures of arousal to them. Political conservatives compared with political liberals have a greater sense of threat from the same stimuli and show larger physiological responses to ambiguous stimuli. Political conservatives compared with political liberals are also more prone to respond with disgust to various situations, particularly if they violate a sense of purity. " https://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/d...psych.16030051.
We see these traits every time a conservative posts and every time a liberal posts. Conservatives continually post about hating everything that's "different" and they continually post about negative things. And politicians like Donnie the Dumbass and Ron DeathSantis know how to play to the things that their base fears.
