Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

No, you definitely weren’t. You got called out, and you think I’m dumb enough to fall for your deflection? you should definitely know better by now. And I suspect you do.
I mean, that’s pretty on-brand for you, but your bullshit still isn’t gonna work here.
Others may have given up by now, but I’m gonna keep going until you either answer for the shit you said, OR, you just give up and go away
My dude, I said this to cruseo. Why would I say “they’re saying” if I was trying to refute what cruseo was saying? I would’ve said “you’re saying”.
I think the bots are malfunctioning
Sounds like some top-tier deflection to dodge the bullshit about what you were saying.
So can you defend the shitty thing you said, or not? Stop trying to blame me for your inability to defend what you said.
Ok, here’s my defense.
I said:
Here’s how I defend it:
I think that when shweddy said “let him cook”, he meant “let the would-be attempted assassin keep doing what he’s doing”.
There. Maybe phrasing it like I’m talking to a five-year-old will help your AI parse information better. Hope it helps!
You had to know that anything else you said vanished the second you said this.
And, of course, the only response to this is “fuck you“
Because this is the most petulant, childish, non-sequitur you could possibly have mustered. It’s also the ultimate surrender, admitting that you’re wrong and you know it.
I both accept your surrender, and I have blocked you because I don’t wanna hear any more of your bullshit.
Continue torturing yourself if you must, but I will not allow you to continue torturing me
When you start a conversation admitting your ignorance, ending it by calling everyone else stupid is a really bad way to go
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re not gonna convince anyone that you’re being reasonable while throwing a tantrum, regardless of your argument
Grow up
Back up what you said, or admit you were wrong
Don’t blame others because they also had the temerity to call you out on your bullshit
“Don’t blame others”, like the other dude isn’t just another bot in your net, sure 😂
I’m not sure why I need to “back up what I said” when all I said was what I thought shweddy was saying, but if you are really struggling to understand what I said or why I said it, look at my latest reply to the “other guy”. Maybe that will help calibrate your AI too
It’s you both your uncertainty and ignorance that led you into this disastrous conversation. And it is both of those flaws in your character by which I am certain you will fail to find your way out.
I have better things to do this weekend than to educate you, so I’m going to block the foul disgustingness that comes out of you rather than try to correct you.
Best wishes
