Profile of the "TDS Believer"!

so the world is only allowed 1 mental illness? This guy is sick, but the actions and dementing rantings of those blinded by their hatred of Trump can certainly still classify as a mental illness.

(re-reads post twice)

Your response is practically unrelated to the content. I'm trying to find anywhere that I have any claim to restricting the number of mental illnesses...

...but, I've been clear that I find the unending defense of a liar/fraud/cheat/felon (all on the books, remember, not opinion) to be pretty concerning...so, the people claiming that "TDS" is both a thing and a mental issue are in an unfortunate, but pretty likely, group.

The irony of this is that the (alleged, to be fair) GOP pedo in question was determined to make criticism of his chosen orange God an on-book affliction. That's...wow, that's special. The irony may be off the charts.

"-Eichorn, a Grand Rapids, Minnesota native, has served in the state Senate since 2017. A Republican and married father of four, he represents District 6 in north-central Minnesota. On the day of his arrest, he was one of five Republican co-sponsors of a bill seeking to classify "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TDS) as a mental illness."

Trying to hook up with a teenage girl...TOTALLY on brand, for anyone who remembers the many times "family values" GOP members get busted for similar issues.

SO...if you like to parrot the drool-and-pedophilia-soaked "TDS" babble, please-think of the children...

...but NOT IN THAT WAY.

Thanks for playing, and have a spectacular day!

Maybe they just love his full-ANTIFA tactics, to go along with his ignoring due process and Constitutional violations?

Golly, what could be more "presidential"?

This is the kind of stupid shit you pulled off of "Liberals_Are_Like_So_Smart.com" today?  Too funny.

Awwww, the "white supremacist 'news' IS a source!" poster wants to wade in...

...and is wrong, but at least is trying to attach complete BS to me as a question this time. That shows small improvement from lying as statements in the past.

Baby steps!

So, I guess, are you insinuating that neither link is about real stories? Both had many mirrors on sites, most quite neutral...as I'm unfond of the absolute s**t warned about in echo chambers. Jimmy started a whole thread quoting Gad Saad, after all, and he warns about the echo chambers as part of his teachings!

I'm certain that it's both important and instructive to all here!  :D

Plain and simple Z...there's hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle. I think we all should condemn the local congressman but is it the most important item of the day. You and Waterboy can go tit for tat on these types of things? Here's one...how about Rosie O'Donnell on Monday questioning whether Elon Musk helped rig the 2024 election on behalf of Trump. The same Rosie who suggested MAGA election deniers should be rounded up and put in reeducation camps and railed about their mental competence.

White Supremacist? That's what you have. As many on this board know, I spent much of my adult life volunteering in the inner city...first in Chicago and than in Madison. I've helped more POC in my lifetime than you'll ever know. I believe that real racism is abhorrent. It's become way cool for you liberals to call out people that disagree with them on topics other than race as racist. I know...you're not a liberal...you only play one on a message board...lol. You need to get out of that town Z...

So...the self described "truth teller" is absolutely comfortable calling me a White Supremacist. Good for you Z. Enjoy your day.

The Eichorn story is a sad one - especially for his family. It sure serves to underscore how vulnerable kids are these days.

I think even more so than when me (a boomer) was growing-up. If you havent seen the 4 part series Adolescence on Netflix, set aside 4 hours to do it. 

They've already called for a special election (4/29) and lots of fun people have thrown their hats into the ring already.  From a balance of power perspective, its not that important.

Pales in comparo to the Supreme Court elections to our friends in the east (Wi).

Actually, the "let you be you, as long as it doesn't hurt others" approach, supposedly valued by current Conservative, IS the definition of classic liberals...as anyone who passed a single PoliSci class is aware.

I'm not offended by being called a liberal, but I can tell pretty quickly if the "labeler" has their head up their nethers or not. I reserve the right to treat them appropriately, including the assumption that anyone using "libtard" is intellectually unfortunate. I'd call out the same thing to anyone defining all righties as KKK/nazis/etc.

Oh, and I referenced your use of a white supremacist site, I didn't call you one. Read more carefully in the future, and you'll instantly be more honest/accurate!

You have proven, utterly, that you only pay attention to one side of my posts, and that's your bit. However, I'm in no way beholden to your chosen limitations.

Breitbart IS from a white supremacist foundation, and openly admitted to wanting to be a "right wing huffpost"...it's easy to look up. That's a laughable source, on either side of the line.

Do I hate the UK rape gangs? Yep, and I actually posted clearly about the antisemitic marches everywhere, including the UK and Canada...and called out Trudeau in particular. Funny, how those same gangs seem to hate Jews, women, and Western culture equally.  Europe will be paying forever for their blinders regarding massive Middle Eastern immigration.

On a separate note, I'm seeing "Whiskeyleaks" all over my feeds for the last couple of days, and my dark amusement is almost unbearable!

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.

thank you for the adult rebuttal.

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.
