Will the release of the Epstein files be the Watergate Scandal to Trump’s Nixon?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/humiliated-johnson-fumes-epstein-files-174930232.html

As written, the bill requires that no records be withheld, redacted, or delayed due to embarrassment or potential harm to someone’s reputation.

The names or identifiable information about victims and material depicting child sexual abuse can be redacted, but such omissions must have a written justification submitted to Congress

If so much as one name - specifically that one - is given the ‘[REDACTED]’ treatment, it’ll do for Don Old Fart what the Smoking Gun Tape - re. ol’ Tricky Dick and Haldeman - was to Nixon.

Yes, yes we know you hate the fact films are not made to cater to your beliefs and you hate that we get it

False witness. Presents a straw man of "atheism" as a type of nihilistic cult. Pretends that society was somehow harmed by it, when it's actually little influenced by atheists who are a minority. It thus confuses the separation of church and state, what allows them to practice their religion, as "atheism".

Also very implausible considering that while not impossible to suddenly embrace delusions, especially when psychologically vulnerable, atheism is usually also linked to critical thinking. These "conversion from atheism" stories are like the "conversion from evolutionist" ones in ultrafundamentalist misleading propaganda, where the straw men presented expose their ignorance and falsehoods.

Very interesting, about "the right religion", which supports the above analysis that it's propaganda targetting those in a particular cult. Also interesting, the claim that an atheist could never be happy. Apparently because some people need to be told how to think and need fantasies to evade reality?

How could "true desire to see God" manifest in someone who does not believe in the existence of supernatural beings? It confirms that "atheism" here was only a straw man. What about those like me who did seek the supernatural only to realize that it was human delusion and fantasy? All that they need to believe is evidence, but it's lacking. Virtue? What about all of the evidence where religious rhetoric was used to justify evil?

I still consider myself agnostic, though. I cannot say that I was happy when I was hoping for the supernatural to solve my problems and it was failing, a more reality based approach is more constructive and achieves results. Being free from superstition and related fears is liberating, however.

This sounds like a type of ad hominem fallacy. First it denies the existence of a problem, an actual need for girls and women with unwanted pregnancies, who may resort to dangerous procedures without access to proper medical care. In some cases, abortion is also a medical procedure to save the life of the pregnant person, or to protect their health in case they're too young.

Then a frivolous attack on science and medicine that can provide safe solutions and the demonization of its subjects. This makes no sense when aware of the above. It's irrational, it's patriarchy and women subjugation enforcement, natalism enforcement, etc. This type of poster can be predicted to also be against sex education and preservatives, actual working solutions against the unwanted pregnancy problem.

Inability to have shared empathy towards others in the same situation, for bigotted reasons. Apparently also restricting their own opportunities because of it, an interesting case where bigotry is also apparently self-harm...

As for anti-FSTDT, what I see is that to enforce their favorite stereotypes, they want to impose on others what would be "absolute needs", basically an attempt to pathologize the non-heteronormative, with generalizations and slippery slope fallacies. It also denies facts like that the LGBTQ+ are human diversity where minorities will continue to exist just like before, to falsely claim that it's a type of "social contagion", entertain grooming conspiracy theories, etc.

So every excuse is good for the promotion of bigotry even evidence of the same bigotry against you. And for bigots every excuse is good to attack those exposing bigotry.

Anti-FSTDT:

Jesus encouraged charity, but he didn't say the government should forcibly take from the rich to give to the poor

It's called taxes, part of civilization since the existence of cities 12k years ago, way before Jesus. And Jesus told his disciples to pay their taxes. Hypocrite.

Slippery slope fallacies for panic:
- No list of media provided as evidence of "gay-pedophilia normalization".
- Awareness of existence of the LGBTQ+ is neither promotion nor about pedophilia
- LGBTQ+ grooming conspiracy theory

Projection and whataboutism:
- No mention of the child abuse problem in your church
- The post switches from the LGBTQ+ to independent women, evidence that its goal is actually patriarchy and women subjugation promotion.

Once again, Trump forgot that he wasn’t a dictator but the head of state of a constitutional government.

It isn’t sedition to refuse to obey unlawful orders, as said in Little v. Barreme (1804).

And once again, Trump is so self-centered and narcisstic that slighting him is a capital offense in his opinion.

Does such 21st century American film exist…?

Oh, I dunno…:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Way_of_Water

>Sigourney Weaver

>Budget: $350–460 million

>Box office: $2.343 billion

…you tell me, OP.

In addition to what <@KeithInc.> said, M. Night Shyamalan, the director, who is indeed not white, does actually appear in the film, albeit reflected in a window. His voice is also heard explaining a plot point very late on.

And Bryce? Yes, top quality actress. Check out this summit meeting between two great gingers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pabK7LRANiU

“I see the evolution theory as just being a bit lucky that it falls under a class that is regularly taught in schools.”
Yes. One of the best-supported theories in all of science is taught as science. Good observation.

“Whether or not it's correct, it can continue to be taught because it's "science"”
That’s kinda the point. By ‘correct’ i think YOU mean ‘true.’ Science isn’t into ‘true’ as much as it’s into ‘we have the evidence to support it.’ Which makes it correct. At least until counter-evidence is ever produced.

“Any other theories are screwed because we're so focused on being PC.”
Political Correctness is about not offending someone by accident. Creationists would cheerfully shoot evolutionists if they could get away with it. But it’s real science, so it belongs in science for the sake of science, not PC…

“It’s about any movie inspiring a white man to marry someone like that heavenly creature.”
You know they’re not all white because there’s something superior to them, right? The director was trying to make it seem like it was set in the past and a multicultural cast would have been a give-away.
And you’re just objectifying this woman. Putting her form into your prejudices. You’re fixated on a fictional character and a fictional time in history.
Just tack centerfolds up to your wall and listen to Tubular Bells.

Thanks for just admitting how you firmly believe the military is meant to be loyal to the president (IE YOU) when it is not, and just another of the many ways you’ve admitted to being a wannabee dictator

“The main thrust of the evolution theory has been stated in the past to have come from some sort of a "big bang" theory.”
Evolution is biology.
The Big Bang is astrophysics. Not a lot of overlap between the two.

“If that is the case, why are many leading scientists in this field now disassociating themselves with the "big bang" theory, saying that it is not only highly improbable but impossible.”
That’s a question. Should have a question mark.
Which field are disassociating with the Big Bang? If they’re biologists, it doesn’t matter a fuck.
If they’re astrophysicists, ask them. And ask for their evidence.

“Many scientists now favor an "Intelligent Designer".”
Yes. Many people who are employed as scientists have a belief in God. But it’s not falsifiable. Therefore it’s not science. Therefore it doesn’t fucking matter how many scientists in any field believe in a Creator, or what flavor of Creator they believe in.

“How do we know that not a single one of the accused was a witch?”
Because the first consideration of a pact with the devil is to be protected from witchfinders and witch trials. Satan makes sure no one accuses his witches.
If they were accused of witchcraft, they weren’t witches.
I mean, duh, think about it.

And I think seditious behavior is only punishable by death for members of the military, and only during wartime, right? Has Congress declared a fucking war? Dipshit needs to have some facts explained to him.

O RLY?

Well, you’ll have earned the right to so much as think of saying that when you’ve actually served in the US Armed Forces, Bone Spurs.

weeeeeeeeeeell…. Nuremburg only really established that leaders can’t use ‘following orders’ as a defense. Judges, high-ranking officers, etc. The courts there did not want to start letting every fucking private think he had a right to tell his officer to fuck off. So it kinda WAS a defense, to a certain level of impotence.

But then we had a few attention catching incidents in Viet Nam. And yes, Basic was 45 years ago and I can still see the room where they showed that presentation to us to encourage us to evaluate each order for merit.
There was the Amnesty room, giving up anything in our pockets we didn’t want to become evidence at our discharge, there was the urinalysis, there was the haircut, and then before we even had uniforms, DO NOT DO THIS DUMB-ASS SHIT!

Trump: "It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! NO order I give is unlawful! Because I’m the PRE-SI-DENT!! And if the president does it, it means it’s NOT illegal!!!!"

Donald Trump #psycho #wingnut #conspiracy

"It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL," the Republican president said in a Thursday morning post on his Truth Social platform”
Reminds me of Ken Ham’s site publishing ‘Arguments Creationists Should Not Use.’ And then Kent Hovind called it a personal attack.

So, I stand on the soapbox and say, ‘Soldiers Should Not Obey Unlawful Orders.”
DONALD runs out and calls me a traitor for telling the troops to OBEY THE FUCKING LAW.
Donald is not only admitting, but LOUDLY SCREAMING that his orders are unlawful. Or could be seen as, or a reasonable person might be able to infer that, his orders are fucking unlawful.
Maybe, I dunno, don’t give unlawful orders?

@kuyohashi #241938

of course Benedict Donald had opinions.

At this point, more like Darth Trump…

Trump: I am the Country!
Democrats: Not yet.
Trump: It’s treason then.

And then later:

Trump: The time has come. Execute Order 666.

For context, some members of…I don’t quite remember which body…released an ad reminding active military members that, by law, they are required to disobey unlawful orders. It’s one of the first things they drill into your head in basic training. Because ‘just following orders’ wasn’t a defense in the 1930’s, and it’s not a defense now.

And Lindsay Graham had the vapours over the very notion, and of course Benedict Donald had opinions.

I take no joy in anyone being oppressed. I doubt my roommate a Roman Catholic nor another friend a priest and bishop in Catholic church appreciated the idea of what Christians did to other Christians and non Christians, both are very respectful to others beliefs. Hell my roommate won't eat Panera because a few years back they evidently fired woman for being Pagan. Rhat said people like Coulter deserve no respect and that was why I said what I did. People like OO here are just as fucking bad.

“To those who would kill their baby to save their life, what would your children and husband think of you?”
I dunno, maybe they’ll INSIST that every child needs a mother and a father to grow up right? Or is that argument ONLY for anti-gay-marriage threads?

“Could you really tell your children that you killed their sibling just so you could have a few more years”
Um, yes. I would HOPE my wife would take the ‘stick around for the sake of loved ones’ option over something that, biblically, isn’t alive yet.

Slippery slope fallacy for panic: if it's not my favorite faith, it must be dictatorships of some kind. It also mixes state and religion, indicating a failure to understand the importance of the separation of church and state. Or exposing the wish to impose a theocracy, thus also psychologically projecting itself against others. The separation of church and state is not a dictatorship, is not atheism and it also prevents the imposition of Sharia law while permitting religious freedom for all.

Wait, this is not working.
So, I live as an atheist. Which you interpret as hating and shunning God.
This sin will send me to Hell.
In Hell, I will burn from experiencing God’s love.
Because God is omnipresent.
Why don’t i feel this pain now, either when i became an atheist or some time later when i realized it?
I mean, THAT would probably have a distinct improvement in human behavior. It’d be like Spiderman’s danger sense. Everyone walking around, flinching, and when asked, “See that blonde on the corner? I was thinking about disappointing God.”
Could you rape someone while feeling God’s disappointment? Could you PLAN to rape someone while feeling God’s disappointment in your choice? And if you got drunk enough to ignore God’s disappointment, could you walk well enough to catch and rape someone?

Our Faith is the only true Faith with the fullness of Truth

Yet you need a tradition of lies to hold it together.

We literally have God on our side

If it was the case there would never have been 5 great religions, older religions before those, even more splinter groups today. If he existed and had power, you would not need to be a propagandist and there would not be any human faith conversion conspiracies necessary. Didn't Jesus say that rocks would witness if necessary?

Why are we LOSING numbers of PRACTICING Catholics?

Lack of divine support, failure to adapt and stay relevant. The more fundamentalist the least appealing to the educated who see the deceptions.

WE HAVE TO CONVERT OURSELVES BEFORE WE CAN CONVERT ALL OF ISLAM AND SAVE THEIR SOULS AND THEIR CHILDREN'S SOULS!

Yourself? Why not. "Ourselves" still suggest a conversion agenda for others.

SAVE THEIR SOULS AND THEIR CHILDREN'S SOULS!

Are you certain that it's what you're doing? Since only "God sees the hearts", why must it be left to you to judge who's saved or not? Why would any human hierarchy be necessary, considering that in Jesus' baptism story, it was done by a hermit?

"Everyone has their own beliefs."
"Muslims worship the same God as us. We don't need to try to convert them. Let them have their beliefs. We don't want to offend people."
"Don't talk about politics and religion."
"I don't want to be uncharitable. I must be prudent."

You don't have churches?

(What is more charitable and prudent than saving souls from eternal Hell?)

Material charity and hospitality? What if your hell doctrine isn't realistic even on theological grounds? What about making what may be one's only life hell on Earth if it can be avoided or mitigated? What about the fact that threats of eternal suffering are childish and manipulative, even hateful? Again, how can you evaluate the sincerity of people? Christians are not supposed to judge according to Jesus.

God help us to serve you and do your Holy Will. Help us to place your Holy Will above our daily lives and our desire to feel comfortable and avoid confrontation. I love you and I trust you. In Jesus Name I pray.

That does not sound like Catholic ritual to me. It's also quite different to the model prayer Jesus left, Our Father. It sounds like one of the judgmental statements claimed to be "prayer" made in public, something Jesus said was hypocrisy.

I have often avoided confrontation and desired comfort when I should have been speaking up for the Truth.

"I want to be an asshole. I want to justify my assholery." The reason that's obvious is that the opposite of promoting comfort sounds like the promotion of conflict and abuse. In the light of this, it's your homework to read your sermon again.

I salute your Guardian Angels

Why does that sound like a fortune teller?

"The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is ~~not~~ an evidence-based claim because studies have ~~not~~ ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism."

…So let me get this straight; the CDC itself now officially claims that, since there is no proof that vaccines do not cause autism, it means that vaccines can cause autism? Despite all the proof otherwise!? Despite that it’s a logical fallacy?

And despite that the CDC is supposed, you know, PREVENT diseases, the very thing Vaccines exist for!? And despite the fact that Autism is NOT a disease!?

…
…Are we living in the fucking Dark Ages again? I mean, what the Hell!? What the actual Hell!?

At this point I’m starting to think that the idiots in charge really DO worship Nurgle…

Apparent attempt to indoctrinate Catholics into evangelist style reality/evolution denial. Fundamentalism and resistance to a great religion remaining relevant and away from the savagery of the past. Apparent conspiracy theory of enemy within to corrupt, somehow tied to magic "true presence"... But meanwhile in countries where Catholicism is not the law, dissidents are actually free to leave. There may still be a concern about a fragile balance: if too many leave, it may become irrelevant, if it imposes itself using savagery it may also fall into irrelevance. It sounds like an evolving great religion remains a better prospect...
