Also I must confess, egotistically, I couldn’t let my husband ‘win’ and remain in her life without me. Not after letting me get thrown under the bus again and again.

I can see why she has been in years of therapy. One of her biggest concerns is essentially competing with her own husband over who can be closer to their children.

David J Stewart #fundie #crackpot #sexist

It doesn’t require that God change for what God considers acceptable rules for society to change. God commands various theocracy and monarchy at different points in the bible. The specifics for rules of worship change several times. Christianity mandates some but not all old testament law as morally right, claiming authority from God. Jesus says celibacy is preferable to getting married at all.
What Stewart is trying to claim here about how God wants households to be is barely mentioned in the bible and not mandated anyplace.
Steward is projecting what he wants into God’s word. He wants the moral right to tell his ex-wife that she should submit to his authority.

Jim #wingnut #conspiracy #homophobia #racist

Most of Jim’s post is wrong but I want to point out this large scale projection.

The Democrats are relying on their tried and true formula[…]: Envy, hatred, and malice. Vote Democrat, and you will get vengeance[…]

After the cruelty of ICE, Trump saying straight up that he was delaying emergency money to Democratic parts of the country and other behavior of the Trump administration a lot of Democrats do want vengeance. It’s the Democratic leadership saying no.
The bit about envy gives away the projection here. The democratic cities are already the wealthiest party of the country and some of the wealthiest areas on the planet. Who are they going to be envious of?

It also depends if said 15-year-old has had sex before with another minor. That would affect matters greatly in my opinion. If she chooses to have sex with someone of her own age, it shouldn’t matter if she chooses an older guy

It does because much of the issue is power and ability to manipulate. A relation between two 15 year olds will on average be less manipulative and abusive then a relation between a 15 year old and a 30 year old.

But then there is the obvious chance that it was a dude who saw a really hot 15 year-old who was at a party who was really drunk and convinced her to have sex with him.

She is still drunk and can’t consent.
It’s like a lot of these guys don’t really understand consent. They consider it fair game if they trick somebody into agreeing or drug them to the point they don’t object.

2nd Smartest Guy in the World #racist #wingnut #conspiracy

Trump’s idea of real work is building monuments to himself and redirecting money to himself, his family and allies. He has never been concerned with policy, consistency, putting US first or anything of the sort. Running the government has always been secondary to what Trump could personally get out of it.

James O’Brien #wingnut #conspiracy

There was, undoubtedly, fraud. Just look at Texas. Overnight one of the reddest States becomes a massively blue State?

There is always a little fraud but it’s too small to matter. What happened in Texas is clear if you looked at the polls. A lot of Republicans said they would vote Democratic because the Republicans have messed up so hard. Texas is likely to switch back for a lot of offices quickly.

He’s a marvel of work ethic

Trump has set records for the amount of time he has spent golfing. No president has worked less then Trump.

The absurdity lies in the fact that pregnancy is an automatic process; you cannot force someone to remain pregnant any more than you can force someone to breathe or to digest food.

Shoving food down people’s throat to force them to digest food is done to break hunger strikes. It is also possible to force somebody to breath with iron lung gear but there is little point because a person can’t stop breathing enough to die on their own.

The typical common denominator in unwanted pregnancy is sexual congress. And yet still people keep on getting pregnant. Humans are supposed to be able to use their intelligence to override their base instincts, so they should do so.

For instance you could have not posted that but your base instincts made you post a superficial and insulting argument.

A.K. Dart #conspiracy

Many important issues are handled very superficially by television news shows. If you're looking for details on important stories, you'll find that today's TV news is "all sizzle and no steak." That's because it's safer and easier and less expensive for TV news editors to tell you only the federal or state government's side of each story.

That is a real problem, though on a day to day basis it’s most commonly the corporate side that is presented. However, big stories are investigated by many groups and if there were real questions they would be presented.

So why was the Murrah Building leveled so quickly?

The original attack destroyed 1/3 of the building. It was unsafe and at risk of collapse, which could have done damage to the surrounding area. It was kept up only long enough to remove bodies and anything else of value, plus some time for the defense to examine it and prepare trial records.

I knew this would get conspiracy theories but this guy is building his in real time. This plane went down yesterday, the government has not begun to release all of the information, they probably don’t even have it yet. No investigation has been done. And this guy is explaining how it’s all a huge orchestrated fraud.

There’s something very scripted about the entire set of recorded communications that is extremely suspect.

There is a protocol and standard set of things to say in an emergency, it is somewhat scripted.

Dan Bongino #wingnut

So you're telling me like Katie Zacharia, who is a smart, talented, wonderful human being — who, did she pass the bar or not is a huge international scandal

When she lied about it to the White House it becomes a big issue. Plus it’s a huge embarrassment for the White House that their background check didn’t pick that up. Did they not check her claims at all? Did they not put her through a FBI check?

What kind of freaking party is this? Holy Moses, man, take the freaking gloves off

Ramaswamy tried and even the Republican told him the ad was too tasteless. Acton’s father was a well known child abuser who fled to avoid jail and Acton’s mother went with him and abandoned her children. Acton’s mother is not a good character witness but Bongino just ignores that issue.
Nothing here is a surprise though. Bongino was always a low grade right wing podcaster. Serving in the Trump administration just gave him a chance to improve his lying by working with huge frauds.

Blood and soil doesn’t work. The only people that could claim direct linage would live someplace in Africa and likely none are left at this point.

It doesn’t really matter to Day though, it’s the threat that matters. His kind are attracted to the idea of threats to control the population. Something that creates a permanent underclass that is less of a citizen then Day is among the best sort.

Medeea Greere/Newsmax #wingnut #conspiracy

A political earthquake is shaking Washington after explosive claims reported by Newsmax suggesting that former President Barack Obama could face arrest over what critics describe as a seditious conspiracy tied to the 2016 election.

This would have been while Obama was in office and presidential immunity would apply. This is a hard stop, rumor is impossible, issue is done. The rest here is just pointing out that there are multiple other serious problems here. This rumor is not serious, it’s just political mud slinging.
Even without that this will never happen because to arrest Obama over this would require discovery in court over the issue of Trump’s ties to Russia. The previous investigation was shut down by Bill Barr before it investigated Trump. Trying to prosecute Obama over the issue would force discovery and Trump won’t allow that.
It’s hard to see what crime Obama would be charged with anyway and it’s pushing the outer limits of any statute of limitations. Political mud slinging is ugly but rarely a crime. With hard proof Trump might be able to go after Hillary for damages to Trump’s reputation. Notice that he has not even suggested that despite raising cases over far more trivial matters. There is no way this case could be won because it’s know that some of Trump’s property deals involved laundered money from Russian oligarchs. It has not been proven that Trump knew this but there are enough connections that proving the accusations of Trump having connections to Russia a malicious lie would be impossible.

Grandparents Fight Back #transphobia

In the US it’s really a mess, wildly different rules by state and in some cases by school district. Some states require it, some refuse it, some allow it but still require legal name on paperwork, some of the worst require notifying the parents.
It’s likely above that people were reacting to the fake school sign. The author is intentionally mixing and matching fake and real information to provoke a response.

Thomas Adelman #pratt #wingnut

Current voter id schemes are just attempts by Republicans to invalidate as many Democrats as possible. Requirements such as the name on the id match the name on the person’s birth certificate effect more women then men and thus statistically more Democrats then Republicans.
In any case, this sort of change needs to be implemented years before enforcement to give legal voters a chance to get the correct id. You can see how bogus the Republican’s attempt is in that rather then fix the obvious problems with their proposal and try to get it past congress, they are just complaining.

Marco Rubio #fundie

Just to add to the hypocrisy here, Rubio is a Catholic. He doesn’t believe in Evangelical Christianity but the above is written to appeal to the Evangelical crowd while still giving plausible claim to cover all Christianity.

Liz truss #crackpot #mammon #wingnut #conspiracy #god-complex

Liz Truss claims the U.K. would have managed successful missions to Mars within years — if only her 49-day premiership hadn’t been cut short.

Somebody drinkth deep from the cup of ego. That is almost Trump levels of ego inflation and irrational goals.

She envisages a 2040 in which “there are now no European Union laws in Britain,” a “permissive regime for artificial intelligence” is in place, and tumbling energy costs and faster planning timelines have helped make the U.K. a leader in AI.

Trade will force Britain to follow a lot of European law even if it isn’t formally the law in the UK. Britain’s only advantage as an AI leader would be the availability of a lot of cold water.

“Bitcoin received tax treatment consistent with its status as a form of money for commercial purposes,” she imagines. “No central bank digital currency was introduced.”

The primary use of Bitcoin is avoiding the law in some way and pure currency speculation. In the long run active support would be bad for any economy as it means the government giving up control of the economy.

THE ORDER

The order they give doesn’t resolve most question. It entirely ignores the question of what happens when 2 people are at the same priority. It ignores that the majority of people won’t be on any of those priority lists. It ignores the question of what happens when somebody’s priority changes while waiting. What they list for veterans is a rationalization for putting them high on the list.

Your going to create an army of super-soldiers and then eliminate them once they have done your dirty work. To see why that is a bad idea see any number of fictional stories.

HungryGhost #sexist #crackpot

“Men and women clearly have different wants in fiction. So taste is biological.

Or cultural. There is no good way to separate the two in general but the difference does matter immensely.

Suppose I like stories about a Gary Stu who's perfect and loved by everyone. What if I become a tyrant, crack open people's skulls to check whether they share my taste, and execute anyone who doesn't? Only people with good taste get to breed. After a few generations, the world will be filled with people who love Gary Stu, and he'll become the new literary standard. Such is the great providence of nature.

Even if that bit of taste is somehow biological and you could find some way to measure it, biological change doesn’t happen that fast. You would have to somehow enforce your new rules across hundreds of generations minimum, more likely far longer and there is a good chance it never changes in the way you want.

Consciousness gives birth to the ego and to stories.

That and everything after it is largely a chain of assumptions.

It is possible that a global dictator might try to use the idea of unifying the population globally as a tool for consolidating power. It’s an unlikely option and is just one route to global power. A want to be dictator would have to adapt his politics on the fly until they are close to global power. It doesn’t really matter though because this whole argument is really against the idea of unifying the population hiding behind the idea of a global monarch.

Philosophically, race would be a natural target of a global monarch who sought to consolidate power by dissolving distinctions among his subjects into a singular political identity: citizens first, all else second[…]

Historically that has not happened. Monarchs and dictators of all kinds actually tend to reinforce racial divisions because distinctions work in his favor. He can elevate his own group into power and trust their loyalty a bit more then other groups.

A monarch trying to rule the world cannot maintain control purely through brutal force; they need a moral justification that sounds noble but ultimately centralizes their authority

Only the smallest of monarchs can rule only through force. Most dictators depend on fear more then anything. The knowledge that the entire population turning against the dictator would defeat them but the first group to turn against the dictator probably die. There is a whole basket of methods though, uniting them against a common foe is nearly universal also, as is rewriting history to make the leader look like a great leader.

Tatsuya Ishida #racist #wingnut

Wrong on two levels. First, Nazi Germany was not a renaissance and was not in general pagan. Everything was narrowly channeled in the ways the Nazi party officials wanted. Science inconvenient to the party was ignored and even suppressed. Art had to hold to Roman and Christian standards of beauty and conform to Nazi propaganda. The Nazi leaders considered Christianity a good way to direct the masses, exactly what he is accusing the Jews of in general.
Second, the Renaissance was not a period of weakness for Christianity. The Catholic/Protestant split weakened central control but both sides were Christian. Education spread but during the Renaissance it was mostly knowledge in the service of church and state. It wasn’t until the post-Renaissance Enlightenment period that Christianity really began to lose control.

If Trump’s administration can and does bring charges for a single incident of 2020 ballot-box stuffing before the mid terms, he wins the mid terms

Trump has been trying for years and has not found evidence of anything. There are always a small number of independent voter fraud but they total to an insignificant number.

If he cannot, he did not really win 2024, he will probably lose the mid terms, and it will not matter much whether he wins or loses

This only vaguely makes sense even if you assume that Trump is right about large scale fraud. The events of history make a lot more sense if he is wrong and his search for fraud started as trying to stuff some ballots for himself and is now denial of the fact that he did lose.

The latest woke movie is Netflix’s Narnia adaptation with a transsexual Aslan.

A voice actor isn’t necissarily the age or sex of the character they are voicing. Really though it was a mistake, Narnia is selling into the actively Christian crowd. Somebody should have realized there was likely to be an over reaction.

This war isnt a war of choice for russia.

This is pure Russian propaganda. It is a war of choice for Russia because Putin and other power figures in Russia wanted to put back together the old Russian empire.
There was never a threat from the US, Europe or NATO. There was never a significant Nazi problem in Ukraine and even if there was it wasn’t Russia’s problem. The ethnic Russian population of Ukraine didn’t want to join Russia. Russia didn’t like the countries around Russia allying with countries Russia considers enemies but that doesn’t justify an invasion.

For months, if not years, we were told that the Quantum Financial System (QFS) would trace monetary transactions assigned to a certain gold brick number for 50 transactions deep.

I have never heard that before from QFS fundies and it would be a stupid thing to do. It would be a complex mess that adds nothing to the system and complicates it further.

Then some of us will have funds from Zim bonds that will be used for Humanitarian projects. Think about how each project may receive funds from thousands of Zim accounts! Tracking of how these Project receive funds and spend the funds will also be mind boggling.

Not sure what they mean here but one side effect of a fixed backed QFS is that bonds would be less viable. Spendable money has to be tied to the financial system and that means a certain amount of gold is tied to the bonds. Pre-QFS bonds will mostly become valueless. If they are actually talking about Zimbabwe bonds they are already dead.

Too many folks seem to have forgotten that Pres. Trump told the Data Center owners that they must have their own electrical power source. Water is being recycled for use to cool the data centers, so water usage is not as high as all the nay sayers claim.

Trump said no such thing and Data Centers having their own power sources just creates it own problem without careful regulation. Data Centers have been installing big turbines for power, creating noise and pollution.
Water has always been recycled when possible but the cooling needs for a data center are such that they need new water a lot.

Since the general public is not yet familiar with all the upcoming Quantum changes, Pres. Trump could not rename AI to Quantum Super Sophisticated Data

A QFS would need data centers of some sort but conventional LLM based AI are statistical systems that always have a level of error. It would be highly counter productive to use them in a QFS.

I agree with Pres. Trump that the word “Intelligence” needs to be replaced. It creeped out too many folks thinking a machine could ever function like a human brain.

Trump replaced the “artificial” part, not the “intelligence” part. And made it worse in the process, implying that AI is already more intelligent then humans. Current LLM based AI is modeled after some parts of human intelligence but not the whole package.

The tendency to judge your enemies more harshly then your allies is pretty universal among humans. In modern US politics it is much worse among Republicans then Democrats. Every potential offense by a Democrat is taken as grounds to reject them even if investigation determines that no crime occurred. Trump on the other hand has been found guilty multiple times and had other investigations stopped before they finished. The Republicans don’t think any of these matter.

John C. Wright #dunning-kruger #fundie

Talking about Trump’s abbreviated form is just bogus, he is a long winded rambling speaker. From his history it’s clear that he isn’t hard to understand, he is just often incoherent. The idea that Trump was trying to draw a contrast may have been Trump’s intent but he didn’t manage to say that. The closest he comes is at the end where he says "end very soon, and it'll end one way or the other, and your gas and your gasoline and all of the things." Which may be trying to say that but is too badly phrased to be clear.
The only people saying it’s clear are some apologists for Trump.

What's a 'refugee' experience? ALWAYS a hopeless put-upon saint looking for a decent existence being stalked by villainous racist ICE parodies.

That is very selective memory. Refugees in stories are often cast as nameless victims and/or are dangerously desperate.

In the new Toy Story we have to continually belittle and sideline characters because of what they represent in the 'real world'.

Toy Story is a comedy and makes fun of everybody. The main characters get more air time then the other characters so get made fun of more. This happens in most comedy films.

If military leadership was involved in setting rules and exposing service members to substances such as anthrax, even temporarily, I believe that could have caused serious psychological harm and contributed to conditioning or indoctrination within the military.

Anthrax? I think he is trying to make some point about excessive abuse and risk in military training, which does happen. Anthrax doesn’t work in a way that fits with that.

I also have sinus issues that I associate with my military service, including exposure to burn pits and burning waste while serving in Iraq as a private.

Possible. Widespread use of burn pits without any protection for the soldiers has done all sorts of long term damage.

Space Force would not be putting people in gas chambers or burning generals

Most fighting would be drones satellites given current technology, with a lot of de-orbiting that would put random places on the surface at very slight risk of impact.

The orbital warfare stuff is about big budget contracts that will never need to produce anything.

The American system under Trump is corrupt authoritarianism, it doesn’t even qualify as nationalism because companies in other countries can buy exceptions to tariffs as easily as American companies can.
The rest describes some real problems but confuses the causes. Globalism is an insignificant movement. Atheist socialism-communism is just silly mashing of words they hate together. There are issues with free trade but it’s promoted by both the left and right, it isn’t some global Marxist conspiracy.

The underlying assumption that the rate of illegal immigration depends on presidential policy is wrong itself. The rate is mostly tied to how well the US economy is doing because the southern border is too big to police closely and too many companies and people in the US hire illegal aliens.

I don't understand why you are OK with iliegal aliens being treated better than many U.S. citizens.

Where and how do you see them being treated better? ICE treats illegal aliens, legal aliens and US citizens terribly.

Why were so many aliens allowed to enter illegally in the first place?

Businesses block effective anti-immigration policy because they like having an underclass that gets paid less then minimum wage and can’t complain.

It all began with the Biden administration's open borders policy.

Biden largely continued Trump’s policies because changing them takes time when you plan what your doing. Policy under Biden was poor in the same way it was poor under Trump. The rate of illegal immigration went up only because the economy improved.

Obama awarded Homan the "Medal of Freedom," now he's a villian.

Because he followed orders, under both Obama and Trump he followed policy set from above. It’s just that Trump’s policy is inhuman.
