I thought you were the fellow who addressed a person's positions, not the person.

squistion 891 Posted January 26, 2023 2 minutes ago, JustinCharge said: also libs: silence is violence. Not literally true, but what they mean is that inaction or indifference towards violence that is aimed at certain minority groups is tantamount to direct violence against those groups (not saying I completely agree with that either) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps Tim might have addressed Mr. Rogan's actual position's here, but he didn't want to have to watch a video to do so (same with me). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,192 Posted January 26, 2023 Funny that Tim doesn't like Rogan tho, because Rogan is an actual liberal, like Maher, Taibbi, Weiss. People who try to look past the gaslighting and have an open discussion on the merits, which is what liberals are supposed to do, and Tim claims to do. Apparently he likes Leftist sycophants instead.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted January 26, 2023 4 minutes ago, avoiding injuries said: It’s the first step towards ignorance I think the steps are: 1. not recognizing that the media commits lies of omission. everything they tell you is true, but they aren't giving you all the facts. people fall for that a LOT. 2. if they fall for that long enough, THEN the next step is to not listen to other points of view that are not in lockstep with the MSM. 3. if they do that enough, they become ignorant.

CNN is the problem That is what the chyron said, but If you watched the actual CNN clip, the reporter was specifically referring to the protests earlier in the day: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/513902-cnn-ridiculed-for-fiery-but-mostly-peaceful-caption-with-video-of-burning/ Jimenez reported that the daylight protests “were largely peaceful,” but the situation quickly changed at night. “What you are seeing now, these images, came and come in stark contrast to what we saw over the course of the daytime hours in Kenosha and into the early evening, which were largely peaceful demonstrations in the face of law enforcement,” Jimenez said. “It wasn’t until nightfall that things began to get a little bit more contentious. Thing were thrown back and forth; police started using some of those crowd dispersal tactics like tear gas, even playing very loud sounds to push them out,” he continued. “And then, what you’re seeing, the common theme that ties all of this together, is an expression of anger and frustration over what people feel like has become an all too familiar story playing out in places from across the country, not just here in Kenosha, Wis.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
