Sabrefan1 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The stupidity of Fani Willis and her ludicrous actions strikes again... There was a time when this was the strongest and most worrisome case against Trump. Now the biggest case against him involves paying off a mediocre porn star that he humped. The DA, Fani Willis, and a less than stellar Georgia judge somehow managed to turn the trial into a sideshow on life support and now it's under review by a Georgia appellate court. Georgia appeals court will hear Trump bid to disqualify D.A. Fani Willis in election case https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/08/georgia-appeals-court-will-hear-trump-bid-to-disqualify-da-fani-willis-in-election-case.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parties are even trying to kill the super majority part and just have it be a simple majority. The left wing people on this board were even cheering that effort on. Based on what? If anything, the left is more about being progressive and creating rights for groups that wouldn't otherwise have those right. If anything, the left would just have a less hard of a time granting those rights. They're far from being communist or anything of the like if that's what you're implying. Even if that's not what you're implying, that's literally what it would take for rights to be taken away. And then to think the left here would be cheering that on. Again, based on what? I don't see anyone here cheering on taking away rights on the left... because, again, it's the opposite things the sides are trying to work towards. Honestly, your post couldn't be more wrong. It's playing make believe that both sides are exactly the same when they clearly are not. There are some similarities, but more in the way they're attack each other (and even then there's differences). They're very different in terms of policies. Even the MAGA republicans and normal republicans are different and that's just with 1 of the parties. Perhaps, if anything, this says how little you know about the left if this is truly how you feel.

If I engage with you or Cerridwen on this, it's going to turn into a time sink that I am not interested in investing in because it will go nowhere because I may dislike the far left but I truly get very angry at right. My opinions vary and I will have to explain them in detail and then defend and debate them in detail afterwards. I've spent the lion's share of the last 2 out of 3 days with an 84 year old person that kept dancing on my last nerve trying my patience. I have none left to debate with. I have no left or right winged ideology to make answering your current and future questions about where I stand in my political views easy. My views were once considered moderately to the left. Since the rise of progressivism/social liberalism moved the political spectrum extremely left, I'm more closer to a 90's Republican without the barely hidden racism, warmongering, corporate greed, and general stupidity on the economy. Crap, now that I've typed that, I suppose I can't even pigeon hole myself. I remember the 90's pretty well and 3 of those 4 are the biggest description of the ones who became Bush Republicans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did figure out what you went off kilter about and the other people involved in that chat couldn't either when I privately messaged them for help understanding. For the record ... I was defending someone (and their reaction) who'd been attacked by the user in question (the user the private convo had been started for) at the end of that conversation. There are certain things a person just cannot/will not be called without defending oneself regardless of whatever issues the perpetrator of the conflict has going on personally. Also. I was a huge defender, originally, of the user you speak of. You've no idea of my conversations with that particular user before they self-destructed on this board. OR my own attempts at mitigation with their 'issues' here. The rest, I'm not going to respond to in depth. Yep, I was one of the original members of the NO Trump discussion. Saw through his bullshit from day one...spent 5 very long years explaining, sharing facts, truth etc only to deal with people being wilfully ignorant. Now it's been another almost 4 years and I'm done having the same conversations over again with the same people who still are on the Trump bandwagon. Hand on heart, I loathe and despise Trump with all that I am and possess and I will not be complicit in the silence that a lot of folks have fallen into because they're exhausted having to constantly be assaulted with the Trump/MAGA/GOP bullshit day in and day out. You quite honestly and cheerfully have said somewhere in pages previously that you post stuff for reaction that you don't intend to back up or state any reason for. And technically, isn't that trolling? If you find this thread an echo chamber mocking Trump and Co, then you don't HAVE to come here. Right? I used to really respect your presence here and your viewpoint on many things but then something happened, you left and weren't the same person when you came back. I've never made any bones about who I am here... my latest return to the board was actually a much kinder, more mellow and respectful Cerridwen but I don't suffer fools gladly, or trolls or patronizing/condescending posts directed at me. I know I can dish it out, too but have done my best not to. I fought those battles before on the old board... and to be honest, it shocked me coming from you. I realize this should probably have gone in a PM... but I want to make it perfectly clear to anyone who has followed these last couple/few posts that I'm calling it done and done on my side...I've neither the time nor inclination to spend any more time battling with fellow board members.

OR my own attempts at mitigation with their 'issues' here. Please remember to tag me if you quote part of one of my posts so I know to respond. It doesn't matter anymore. I only cared enough about the person to recognize he was hurting in his real life and I could tell by only a few of his posts. I never even had to read what lead up to the parts I randomly jumped into that ended up causing a ruckus. As for your conversations with the person, I don't care. I made it abundantly clear that my scope of knowledge in that situation extended only as far as several of his posts. I had to ask for clarity on another random subject that was then brought up.

And technically, isn't that trolling? Yes. I lightly and good naturely troll on days I'm in a good mood and feel frisky, but I give up the gist almost immediately and admit it like you said. As for the rest of what you said, I go back to condescension. If you can't handle the very few Trumpers that are still on this section of the board, stop hurting yourself and stop having discussions with them. Are you secretly a self-masochist? Pretend this section no longer exists if it causes you grief. I don't actively and regularly post in the Canucks main section like I once did because I know the second that I go against popular opinion, I'm going to sink the kind of hours into here that I used to years ago. Maybe you should only hit the politics section sparingly. That's up to you though. Quote If you find this thread an echo chamber mocking Trump and Co, then you don't HAVE to come here. Right? I've been laughing at and mocking Trump a lot longer than anybody here. I laugh at him and mock him on this board all of the time. I'm just not obsessed with it. I've known who he is for a long time. The industry that I'm semi-retired from is adjacent to his industry. He's had a poor reputation in this state since I was a kid. He only stopped getting away with breaking the law because the NY Democrats stopped protecting him the day that he turned Republican and ran for the presidency. He's been breaking the law for decades and only ever got slaps on the wrist for it. Quote I used to really respect your presence here and your viewpoint on many things but then something happened, you left and weren't the same person when you came back. Not to be mean. I don't really care about your opinion of me. I am the same person with the same beliefs. I just didn't massively alter my beliefs when the rest of the world did. Quote I've never made any bones about who I am here... my latest return to the board was actually a much kinder, more mellow and respectful Cerridwen but I don't suffer fools gladly, or trolls or patronizing/condescending posts directed at me. I know I can dish it out, too but have done my best not to. I fought those battles before on the old board... and to be honest, it shocked me coming from you. You're still you too. You just moved too when half of the rest of the world moved. Quote I realize this should probably have gone in a PM... but I want to make it perfectly clear to anyone who has followed these last couple/few posts that I'm calling it done and done on my side...I've neither the time nor inclination to spend any more time battling with fellow board members. There is no "should have". This is a community. If you want to talk with me here, talk with me here. If you want a more private discussion that needs to be kept private. Shoot me a private message. I will not tell you how to spend and enjoy your time here. Quote GO CANUCKS! GO CANUCKS! Stanley Cup or bust is the new damn standard again!
