cartoon chris, couldn't be a more apt name.
ICE getting in on the action, remind me what ICE is for again?

Wonder what Chris would call it if the Feds were black bagging anti-lockdown protesters.
Don't expect consistency from Cult45.
I was being coy, we all know what Chris would call it, check the thread le.![]()
Yeah I know.
I feel this country is in a soft Civil War right now, and will be for a while. And I'm not talking about something that will lead to an actual wholesale "brother vs. brother" armed conflict, but it's definitely an ideological civil war where neither side is willing to compromise and express consistent outrage for ALL moral or ethical wrongs. That said, I feel "our" side is more rational, despite some of the irrational behavior of the fringe left. I would have no problem compromising with reasonable conservatives, but reasonable conservatives have become the fringe ever since Trumpism infected the party. Trumpism is obviously a bankrupt position because it's majorly driven by white grievance, racism, and conspiracy theories.
The evidence that "our" side is more rational is the response to Corona. One side is following the advice of experts and following the science, while the other thinks masks are some Lizard man conspiracy to control the populace.
I am less sanguine than you that the kulturkampf -- the civil war, as you call it -- is in any way soft. The raw power stakes couldn't be much higher than they are right now.
^ And since compromise has become about impossible, the recourse is to suppress their insane ideas (owners of social media platforms banning them) and hopefully drive them back to the fringe. Shame them into oblivion on social media, drive them off mainstream social media platforms, use "cancel culture" wisely (meaning don't cancel everyone and anyone who makes an innocuous off-color joke). Conversation has become impossible with this crowd because everything that challenges their ideology is "fake news." So drive them back their information bubbles where they can circle jerk about Trump saving the world from pedophiles.
"You're calling for censoring those who disagree with you
." Nope. Not calling for the government to limit speech at all, but intellectually and morally bankrupt ideas shouldn't have ANY cultural currency in mainstream debate. They belong on the fringe.
Eh, that's yet to be determined in the civil war you alluded to. The political currency in the mainstream debate is mostly on the "other" side.
Hopefully the great city of Portland gets their requested restraining order on federal agents ASAP.
this sucks
post something funny
These es think they have the right to boss people around, including the president.
it's accurate too. It describes you and Spurtacular right down to the ground.
That's not how it works. Congress does appropriations and directs how the purse is spent.
In a nuts , if you don't control Congress, no can't do.
That's not how it works dummy:
You are dismissed.
You afraid of those people, Qhris?
That's not how it works dummy.
They're still going to get the federal funds Congress appropriated for them. Trump can't do about that.
You are dismissed.
It's okay to be afraid of stupid people with microphones, they tend to multiply, and then we get for brains leaders.
Chris thinks people in Minnesota did not pay federal taxes.
Yes and the government in Minnesota asked people to burn businesses, Trump said so.
