If Trump said this, I wouldn't be the first posting it itt, you guys would already be talking about it, outraged. | |

First I've seen it. I only follow politics as far as what comedians say about it lately. Even that is mostly what my partner watches in the evening after dinner, and it's just on, so I watch it with her. | |

Biden doesn't have a history of being a racist and saying racist things, whereas Trump does. That's one difference. | |

Outrage, disgust, same thing. | |

They're not even close to being synonymous and you know it. I think you specifically use the word "outrage" to suggest that we're overly emotional and unthinking. | |

No I'm really not. One word implies you're nearly hysterical with anger about something, the other implies you find it repulsive. You can be disgusted by smelling a bit of food that's gone off, but you wouldn't be outraged by that smell alone. | |

I literally googled "define outrage" and it's the second of three definitions. The fact you can show me another definition only serves to demonstrate that words can have more than one distinct meaning. | |

But I hated Trump and I'm just not a fan of Biden. It's not because Trump was R and Biden is D as you seem to think. It's because one is a despicable sleazeball and one is a bumbling old man. | |

It's not that it's changing, more that it's not rigid. There's nothing wrong with your use of the word "outrage" in the context of shouting at walls, that's a correct use of the word. But if I'm disgusted by something and speak out, I am showing outrage, so my use of the word is also perfectly acceptable. | |

And Johnson and Starmer are a pretty good comparison for how much corruption there is in politics, and how dependent on the individual it is. I don't know why you're bringing up Blair, he hasn't been PM for fifteen years or something. | |

It's pretty clear he was defending himself, at least that's how it looks to observers on the outside. Why he took a loaded gun with him is a question that needs to be answered, but if that itself isn't a criminal offence in the state(s) he was in, it's not relevant to the trial. If he's legally carrying, and he is approached in such a way he fears for his safety, then it's not a criminal matter. | |

I don't think legally he can be convicted on any of the more serious charges. I think there ought to be a law against bringing a weapon to a protest, let alone open carrying an AR-15. I think the mother should face charges for driving her heavily armed teenage son across state lines to something she would surely describe as a riot. I think the police should face charges for encouraging this type of behavior, but within this completely broken framework, I think he can legally claim self defense. Doesn't mean I wouldn't celebrate a rogue jury taking matters into their own hands (wouldn't that be ironic). | |

I'm getting to terms with partisanship on news networks. If you want to further the cause you have to do a little bit Pyongyang style propaganda. That's just the reality. You can't be both siding it while the other side is building literal golden statues to their new god. | |

Dude, come on. He was in a fucking hospital full of sick people. Covid tests aren't foolproof, so there was no guarantee he didn't have it. | |

I don't disagree but I would really enjoy seeing his stupid little face when he gets hit with guilty on all charges. | |

^ Not sure what the letter of the law says, but I wouldn't be surprised if driving your underage son to a race riot armed with an assault rifle isn't specifically prohibited. | |

I mean, I have to say fair enough here. I'd wear a mask in a hospital, and I hate wearing them. But at the same time, I'm largely doing it for show, rather than any belief that it's doing me any good. Or, better still, I'd stay the fuck away from a hospital unless I really needed to be there. And a photo op is not such a reason. | |

Of course she should have better judgement, but poor judgement isn't criminal, otherwise we'd all be criminals because each and every one of us demonstrates poor judgement at some point in our lives. | |

I think if the kid was himself killed and she'd driven him there she'd be in deep shit. She's legally responsible for keeping him safe until he's 18. The fact that he ended up on the right end of the bullets wouldn't change the fact she failed him. She should have told him to fuck off and go to his room when he asked her to drive him to the riot with his AK. That's reckless endangerment. | |

Maybe, it's very easy to say that from the comfort of your armchair. But his age changes the context of this a lot for me. Still not convinced the Mother has acted criminally reckless or negligent, but my comparison to a taxi driver earlier is obviously not cutting it. | |

So you posted 2 examples of people being outraged by Biden to prove that people aren't outraged about Biden? His creepy acts have been dealt with multiple times even in the Colbert Report and the Daily Show, and I'm sure FOX and OAN play those clips on repeat 24/7. I just haven't at all had your experiences of people ignoring Biden's gaffes, senility and creepiness. | |

You're missing the point. The level of noise is orders of magnitude lower. Of course people are outraged about Biden, but the volume of people who are outraged is much lower than the volume of people who were screaming at everything Trump did. Do you really not see this? | |
| |
11-14-2021 06:56 AM

It's not on the same level because Biden's been caught saying or doing something shitty every once in a while, whereas Trump got caught saying or doing something shitty nearly every day. Do you not see this? | |
| |
11-14-2021 06:57 AM

Because what each of those jolly ol fellas have done is not on par. I feel the noise about each of them is pretty well matched with their actions. | |

Also, if Trump was a democrat I'd be just as disgusted by him. But the democrats would never make him their leader. And that's a major difference between the two parties. | |

That's really the point here. There's just sooo muuuch of that shit Trump has done that it's impossible to keep track and remember everything. Everything that Biden has ever done that's cringe-worthy is just a typical month of Trump shenanigans. | |

That's not cringe, that's straight up creepy. That footage is the stuff to destroy heroes. If I saw my favourite singer doing that I doubt I'd listen to him anymore. It's the kind of stuff that, in hindsight, is seen as the obvious signs that people ignored and shouldn't have done. This is how people get away with abuse. | |

Anti-vaxxers are mostly conspiracy theorists and libertarians, which as you know are both associated with the right wing. Just because you can point to a few left-wingers who are also anti-vax doesn't change that. | |

Well that escalated quickly. Yeah he's creepy and likes to touch and smell people's hair in weird ways, but lol at confirmed paedo. I misunderstood your "being bad" to refer to what they actually do and have done, as presidents. For that I'm equally uninterested about Trump's crush on his daughter or him paying pornstars to have sex and keep quiet, as I am to how Papa Joe kisses some kid on the cheek. | |

I haven't heard it and don't plan on listening to it. I know Boris likes to waffle on about utter bollocks. And I would just like to remind you I don't actually give a fuck about Biden's incompetence, I brought it up for discussion because nobody else did, which I found strange seeing as a year or two back this thread was buzzing with relentless Trump hate. | |
