team politics talking points.

[hodad]

This is the actual vote fraud. Accurate reporting of this news could have easily changed the election outcome.

I wrote clearly... no need to make up stuff...

I can't help but wonder if you are trying to use this as a way of excusing Trump's efforts to overturn the election. Is that where you, or the sources you get your information from are headed with this?

So what's your answer: is this hullaballoo a means of excusing the attempts to overturn the 2020 election?


P.S. Speaking of kids making money off daddy's stay in the White House: Jared and Ivanka made up to $640 million in the White House - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington And they were actually working as advisors to the President, unlike Hunter Biden. But, you know, they're Republicans and all that, so it doesn't matter--right?

BTW I saw some of Hunter Biden’s paintings. I was fully prepared to be unimpressed. I thought they were pretty good. He had an abstract that I looked at for more than a few seconds and a more draftsman like thing that was good too. He isn’t a hack.

 

[hodad]

Oh, yeah, let's not forget that WaPo also revealed a 6 hour gap in the White House call logs for 1/6. You know what they say: it's not the crime they get you for--it's the cover-up.

I didn't realize that Ginni Thomas was a cult member in the 80s. No wonder she feels so at home in the modern GOP.

Still thinking about the commons as an ecology worth cleaning up. Below vid is more conversational philosophy than political talking point. Of course I thought of you guys..

Well, he already lost me within the first 30 seconds.

Haha, I'm sorry boji but the video instantly brought to mind this article

I've seen you reference JP a couple of times now i think. Are you a fan?

So you view those of us with differing viewpoints as bad faith actors? Serious question.

Haha, I'm sorry but the opinion of a 31 yr old left-wing socialist progressive kook? Sign me up.

I read part of that critique and a couple of his others. NJR is a typical self-important whiner who has never actually built or achieved anything of value. Certain media outlets collect these writers by the dozens and give them voice. While they might occasionally hit upon something meaningful, this is not one of those times.

Mid term polling must be bad. Now the left want to hire more police officers and fund the police in the wake of the Sacramento shooting? Which is it?

Seems like he touched a nerve there fellas?!

The good Dr will be delighted to know that patrons of The Brewery have got his back, I'm sure

Not really.. Recognized the name, looked up who he was, read his credentials and left it at that.

I'm not overly familiar with Jordan Peterson either.

 

[Matador]

What made you think I was thinking of you? Good faith arguments are in short supply these days, whether they agree with me or not.

Non-answer. Do you see people here making bad-faith arguments?

I appreciate your link, because from my perspective, it's a example of bad faith argumentation/criticism. I do understand where you're coming from, though. Can't say I blame you. When introduced to his content I didn't like him either, and not all of his ideas are kindly persuasive, or worth repeating.

Nevertheless as I dove into the bulk of his channel's U of T lectures last year, a pattern emerged that conflicted with mainstream opinion. It had a strange effect on me that's difficult to describe. Somewhere along the way I began to realize I've been using social media's breadcrumbs to steer my positions on practically everything.

The article you shared (I'd rather call it a boilerplate hit piece) I believe is meant to halt that kind of experience, and redirect the curious back to the familiar. Aside- The same unsettling transition similarly occurred when I read Jung's Red Book, and re-mucked through some of the works of Nietzsche. But I would not put JP into the same camp as those monsters of intellect.

Cheers
