Profile of the "TDS Believer"!

[Zanary]

What a load of crap Z.  Let's see...you say that Breitbart is a White Supremacist website...and I posted something from Breitbart.  Who visits and posts from a supposed White Supremacist website....well...that would be White Supremacists.  The denial that you weren't calling me a White Supremacist is just silly.  It's like watching Jasmine Crocket trying to pretend she wasn't mocking Governor Abbott's disability when she called him "Hot Wheels".  Like I said, the Nazi / White Supremacist thing rolls trippingly off the tongue of the left these days.  That hardly leads to useful conversations.

Btw..since Breitbart isn't on my normal viewing list, I'm guessing I picked up the link from somewhere else.  I don't even remember what thread it was in.  I often post things from Left of Center sources...but I certainly get perspectives from all sides.  I looked up the Breitbart White Supremacist angle...it seems to be a lot of old associative type accusations.  It's like the Elon Musk Nazi thing or Trump using similar phrases as Nazi slogans nonsense.  If anyone thinks Trump is smart enough to slip in Nazi slogans within off the cuff responses..you really have issues.

I'm not sure what the Libtard thing was directed at.  I've never used the phrase in my life.  And btw...I'm also not sure why you thought I was trying to offend you by calling you a liberal since your positions are by and large...liberal.  That's not a dig...it's just a fact.

1. I have no idea why you visited the site, I explained my reasons for seeing it as a crap source...including what the site has a goal of being. Whether you knew that? I can't know.

Bannon's practically the poster boy for white supremacy, and his "associative" position in that field has a ton of consistency, though with the occasional and weak denials.

2.  I am absolutely convinced, with the angst toward due process, checks and balances, and the Constitution, that ol' Don-boi really wants to be an oligarch...and I'm millions away from being alone in that feeling. Many of them have pretty terrifying parallels researched, but that's far more than I'm gonna bring to a Vikings site. I have plenty of political sites for those debates.

3.  "Libtard" was an example contrary to "liberal", though it is a term seen on this board...and one that I will always see as a sign of deeply lacking intellect. It was a clarification.

Note that I haven't used Musk's "nazi" moment as central to any point I make, because I think it was opportunistic by his adversaries to jump onto that as hard as they did. How that's more offensive than the scattershot dumbassery of DOGE playing hell with Americans' jobs/careers/futures, I genuinely can't explain.

So, I left that up to you, didn't assign it to you. It's really not that hard.

You seem to know a lot about Breitbart...certainly more than me...or not.  A quick search says that Bannon left Breitbart..more than 7 years ago so..I'm not sure you're the expert on Breitbart either.

I have a lot of friends on both ideological extremes.  Both seem to know a lot about the other sides news sources because they pick up tidbits from their respective echo chambers.  I watch you and Waterboy do the dance all the time.  Feel free to argue about the merits of the position I took in that thread.  You post from Left sources all the time Z.  You were so proud of yourself last week because you published something from Reuters which is fairly neutral.  I post from Left sources more than right.  Quite often...it's the same story on both sides.  You'd know that if you spent some time actually trying to collect varying viewpoints instead of trying to find the outrage du jour from the echo chambers.

Bannon was a fuggin' founder of the site, that's kind of specific.
I publish links for Reuters regularly, and have suggested it more than once, because they tend to be very neutral by practically every "bias meter".
You're doing the thing where you try to speak for me, again, so you're still dishonest. I read, and have stated that I read, various takes on many stories...something I've been clear about on here for years. Ditto, my disdain for both "main" parties and their echo chambers.
So, when I mention your apparent cherry-picking of my posts, that's EXACTLY what you demonstrate.

He was pushed out 7 years ago...but you didn't know...but yeah..you're an expert.  Nuff said.  Certainly there's no chance that their content or bias has changed in that time. 

Like I said, feel free to dispute the content of what I posted.  I already acknowledged you posted something from Reuters and acknowledged their middle of the road coverage.  It was really adorable to watch you push for acknowledgement that you posted something from a moderate site instead of your standard liberal sources....but you're not a liberal...no, no, no..lol.  The AP is your usual standard bearer...you want to argue the bias on those guys?

Once again, I post stuff from both sides of the ideological spectrum...but most of my posts are from left of center sources to not get the standard pushback on source vs the actual information posted.  It's called bias fallacy.  

So...if you want a participation trophy for using a moderate source from time to time vs your standard liberal sources have at it. You're in Washington...they must hand them out everywhere...lol.  They certainly do here in Madison.

So, first you accuse me of knowing the site too well...? Oh, dude...just stop.

I remember you calling me a democrat, repeatedly, so let's just agree that any of your babble about me is just garbage, dishonesty, or simply wastes of time and bandwidth.

BUT...as to the "TDS Believer" topic:

the term is by and for the lowest denominator. The simple fact, the VERY simple fact, is that his unholy cheesiness creates at least 10 times the headlines of any political rival, something he's determined to do, and obviously will lie like a bathroom rug to keep the headlines rolling. Hell, he's probably accused me of managing security on January 6th, and/or being IT for voting machines that he doesn't like. He's accused everyone else by now.

As far as I'm concerned, that "TDS" will always be about, in the most polite terms, "Trump's Defender Simpletons". They love it so much, they should wear it.

Just please, leave the children out of it.

Good analysis, Badger!
