Who was so insane that he was assassinated by his own Praetorian Guards. Now we'll have to see if the Secret Service can do it if the need arises.


What is it with the left's predilection for death wishes and death threats? tisk tisk tisk


Just a bit of historical humor.

Let's pretend only the left ever uses threats of violence. (You'll need to avoid any and all comment sections favoured by reichwingers to keep pretending this.) :lol:

Yeah, but it's not the reichwingers that preach peace, love, and tolerance.
"Reichwingers"......I like that. :D

Seriously, wth is going on with this dude? If I was the president, I'd find out exactly how many secrets I could look at without breaking the law, and look at every freaking one of them. I'd tour area 51 within my first week in office, and I'd be all over anything more secret than that. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I'm seeing lots of stories which show a statistical correlation between the President's tweets, and Breitbart and Fox. His time is pretty well accounted-for, I guess, and mostly he seems to fly back and forth to Florida, right? I have a real problem with this lack of curiosity. I mean, he got into office watching what they said, and succeeded in saying it shamelessly, which his electorate likes a lot. It seems like, instead of taking classified reports to bed with him at night (which I, for one, would do EVERY NIGHT), he's watching news channels which lead him into issues with the amount of hair which his staff leaves in our carpets. From his causing them to tear it out, I mean. Maybe the more important point is that he just watches what reinforces the things he already believes.

It stands out considerably more when the party who's always touted themselves as being so much more peaceful, tolerant, enlightened and sophisticated does it.

Consider all the death threats all the electors received to try intimidating them into changing their vote for example.

Doing what they snootily claimed the other side would do, but not them, because they were supposedly so above such behavior.

Exactly. And the whole preaching of peace, love, and tolerance routine seems like such a facade, especially these days.

They do seem to excel at inventing propagandist pet names and labels.

Since you seem to care, I consider it entirely possible that you, EzraS, are smarter than I. I find it odd that you show it by excelling at snark, but meh.

It's totally more interesting than the guy who has access to all the secrets watching the nightly news. Snark, I mean.

How much do you understand about how the mind of a teenager with borderline severe classic autism operates, when issuing your critiques?

How dare they act like people you guys agree with. That's just not fair. If you're opposed to this sort of behaviour, oppose it. If you feel it's tolerable, defend it openly. If you wish to participate in a system that is based on pluralism you can't condone political violence of that sort.

You do quite a lot of critiquing of many across the board. The self appointed WP critic. If you don't realize how snarky you yourself comes across, not to mention boorish, you must have a lack of self awareness issue.

Now show everyone how mature and sophisticated you are by continuing to harangue a kid with significant special needs level autism.

Ezra, everyone on this board is struggling with autism in some way, I don't know why you think you are unique here. I too wonder at your attitude. If you were as dismissive as your posts suggest, you wouldn't bother posting, and yet you do, so you must have an interest in participating. It seems that this interest is less in the topic and more in name-calling from the peanut gallery.

No it's acting the way they accuse and stereotype the other side of. It's blatant hypocrisy.

How's about I post my personal observations and opinions as I see fit.

You're good at glossing over.

Glossing over that you're autistic? No, just saying you're not the only one. And autism certainly is not an excuse for bad behaviour.

You and jones seem to have an antagonistic debate history. I can't speak for him, but I find it frustrating when you abandon argument in favour of personal attacks.

That's not the point.

You're missing the point again. I respond to personal attacks. You purposely ignore the instigator and the attacks I respond to, so that you can focus on me in order to vilify me. It's quite blatantly obvious what you're doing.

Most likely if I were anti-Trump, both of you probably would think I was just dandy.

I am not attempting to vilify you; I just think you are capable of upping your game. This is obvious, but it's worth remembering that just because someone does something to you does not mean you have to do the same to them. You determine your behaviour, not someone else.

And that's gist of it all, their skepticism and intellectual posturing only extends as far as what they don't believe in and then all rules are thrown out the window. I listen to other people, I just don't put much heed in dishonest or ignorant opinions. The elusiveness to answering some very base questions when it comes to a topic is always a dead giveaway, they have no real intention of discussion so treat them accordingly.

You are correct. I determine what I post and how I post. Anyone who doesn't like it can go suck a lemon. Tanks anyways for the sage advice, Kellyanne.
