Sometimes dudes ARE fuckin' pigs. Not everyone, but it's not unusual.


Exactly. And at the time I said that, it was in response to a post in a single moms group...where the woman was venting about some guy who had broken her heart. FB is trippin'. Next thing you know, you'll start getting in trouble for spelling out the word "ass." Haha.

Probably because the crime rate is much lower. In Nicaragua, the homicide rate is 11 per 100,000. In the Honduras, it's 43 and in El Salvador it's 51.

How is their economy ? Not trying to be argumentative. Just curious.

I watched some of these "migrants" get interviewed by certified Trump haters like Martha Radatz and other correspondents.
They made it clear that Biden's election incentivized them to come. Many were not even from Central America but from Brazil and other South American countries.

Yup, your comment gets deleted.

And whatever you do...never post "Dudes are fuckin' pigs." FB doesn't like that. I got a 3-day suspension once for that.

Hmm interesting. Is it that the AI system recognizes the statement as an insult that gets the ban ?

They're a very poor country, but it says here, "Nicaragua has transformed itself into one of the safest and fastest-growing countries in Central America."

Another Question- What is the Biden Administration hiding by not permitting the press into the Border Patrol detention facilities ? By prohibiting ride-alongs with the Border Patrol ? By not permitting the press to accompany 18 Senators touring Border Patrol facilities ? Trump never did any of that. And the news film of "kids in cages" was taken while OBAMA was President ! Thank God there is no media bias or media suppression by Biden's handlers and caregivers.

Look, no offense Eric, but Trump did all of that and Biden has only been in office for 65 days. How long was Trump there. The second images came out of there Trump stopped letting the media in.

I'm so tired of this political shit you don't even have to answer. We're not even supposed to be talking about this shit anyway.

No he didn't. Trump didn't invite illegal immigrants ; he stopped and deported them. He followed existing guidelines ( used by Obama ) to separate children from their parents. While Trump was not prepared for the influx the conditions for unaccompanied minors was much better than under Biden. The reason Biden is dealing with greater numbers than Trump is because he encouraged these people to cross the border AND he is holding them in facilities a lot longer than Trump did. Because he is NOT deporting them.

Trump did not stop the press from gaining access and reporting on Border Patrol facilities. Biden has slammed and locked the doors until those facilities can be emptied out and cleaned up to resemble the Potemkin village facility that he did grant access to. What is Biden hiding ? And why isn't the press squawking louder about the restricted access ? Oh that's right. Because they all voted for Senile Joe.

Btw, was anyone able to watch yesterday's news conference and not see the dramatic drop off in Biden's faculties and cognition ? What do you think the Chinese , the North Koreans, what's left of ISIS and Al Queda , Iran and Cuba are thinking when they see our President is a senile dotard ? Same for the Russians and those who are supposed to be our allies ? However you rate Biden's current mental acuity and abilities I'm sure you understand he is NOT going to get better.
There is no magic elixir that is going to restore what were ( at his peak ) modest mental abilities. How bad does it have to get before people realize he is putting the country at risk ? FDR had no business running for a 4th term. Eisenhower was incapacitated TWICE in 8 years by a major heart attack and then a stroke. Reagan was in the early stages of Alzheimer's his last year in office. Wilson's wife ran the country for the last year and a half of his Presidency.

Here we go again : Twitter censored Jason Whitlock , an African-American commentator for ESPN. His offense was posting a link to a real estate blog showing that BLM co-founder and self-described "trained Marxist" Patrisse Khan - Cullors bought a $1.4 million home ( 1 of FOUR that she owns ) in a secluded L.A. neighborhood where only 1.4% of residents are black. Whitlock had some fun questioning her Marxist credentials. He's not alone. The head of BLM's NYC office has called for an independent audit and investigation into BLM's finances. One of many who are starting to wonder where all those hundreds of millions extorted from American corporations went.

Whitlock has not taken this lying down. He has blasted Twitter for suppressing the truth about this greedy hypocrite.

I am not surprised by her behavior. The Soviet elite all had multiple homes . Castro lived well while his people went hungry. So did Mao and Kim.

Twitter has yet to justify making his post " no longer available". They have unlocked his account and claimed ANOTHER "error". Funny how they only make mistakes on accounts that critique the left. If you criticize anyone on the right you can Tweet anything you want with no fear of any consequences.

Well, NORMAL people on the right shouldn't be censored, same with the left. The crazies on both sides run their risk. Lucky for me, I'm an independent. Nobody censors me. But Twitter and Facebook are privately owned companies so the First Amendment doesn't apply.

Can't just walk into a Denny's and start preaching about White Power. They can kick you the fuck out! Privately owned business.

Facebook has lifted its ban on posts saying that Covid 19 originated in the Wuhan Lab. Strange since most of the FACTS about the origin of the Corona Virus have been out there for over a year e.g. China expert Gordon Chang has been saying this since last Spring. And Fauci was caught as a stone cold LIAR. He spoke out in support of Gain Of Function research in 2012 ! Then he denied in Congressional testimony that there was any NIH or CDC funding for same. The truth is that at least $600,000 of American funds went to the very Wuhan lab from which the virus escaped. Fauci tried and failed to finesse the issue on CNN when he ridiculed the idea that the Chinese would deliberately release a virus like Covid. Nobody ever said they did it deliberately. Chang and others consistently said it was an accidental release confirmed by the illness of at least 3 scientists that worked there plus other leaks from Chinese scientists and Redfield's saying it was highly unlikely that it originated in a bat or other animal and more likely was engineered in a lab and then accidentally released. Fauci had all these facts in hand as early as January 2020.
Given that he has been continually WRONG about so many things related to Covid : the danger ( "Go book your cruise " ), the efficacy of masks ( " the virus is too small to be stopped by a mask " vs. " WEAR a MASK ! ; in fact wear two or even three " ), the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and other meds , lockdowns , school closures yada yada etc. etc. and now that he is a proven liar, why hasn't he been fired ? What has he done to justify being paid more than Biden or any other government employee. Remember when I challenged anyone to point to any serious accomplishment by Fauci prior to Covid ? To date , nobody has been able to list anything.
Reportedly , the White House is trying to figure out a way to ease him out despite Biden giving him a public vote of confidence.

For those of you who support censorship by Twitter and Facebook because they are "private" companies , how do you justify them suppressing such vital public interest data and information on such an important and topical issue ? Do you seriously think they should have no accountability for actions so contrary to the public interest ?

I was NOT a regular listener. I was usually working when his show was on. I did listen to his show and read a lot of things about him and his show. Even liberal listeners ( and there were many ) admitted that he held their interest and that they liked his show.
The REAL question is : Did YOU ever listen to Limbaugh ? If you had then you would know that Rush ALWAYS put liberal callers at the front of the line on his show. A lot of callers claimed to have been liberals before they started listening to him.
Maybe you were afraid of being converted ? lol.
Contrast that with MSNBC and CNN who almost never have conservative guests. Or the N.Y. Times or Washington Post who have at most one conservative or even moderate columnist.

Today, most people surveyed claim to get their news from sites like Facebook and Twitter. Those sites are primary public forums. In order to avoid the "editor" tag they are supposed to NOT act like editors and make ideology based content decisions. But both have been doing exactly that and many of said decisions have had to be reversed ; they have admitted they were wrong.

How is it "vital public interest data and information" for people to know that there is a possibility that coronavirus was originally transmitted in a Chinese laboratory, especially when there is no hard evidence that it did? Weighing that against the fact that there has already been a significant increase in hate crimes against Asians, and spreading this theory would result in even more, I'd say FB and Twitter made the right decision.

Ive watched Don Lemons show and he frequently hosts conservatives.

He does his best to make sure that their opinions are heard.

Most rational people know that the world doesn’t revolve around them and hearing what other people have to say (even if they don’t like/agree with it) is what makes them more intelligent about various different topics.

In the abstract I might agree with you but , But , BUT given how China has repeatedly lied ( and btw how Fauci and the WHO et.al. have supported their mendacity ) and more importantly how the evidence is stacking up that China was doing Gain of Function research ( partly funded by the U.S. taxpayer ) and that the genetic sequence of Covid 19 does NOT naturally occur and most importantly how Facebook has reversed their decision, we will now have to agree to disagree.

The media immediately labelled the THEORY ( and it was and still is a THEORY ) that Covid 19 originated in a Wuhan lab and leaked out " Debunked ". It was never any such thing. It was ALWAYS worth inquiry and exploration. And reportage which it is finally getting albeit belatedly. Redfield is no right wing nut and he has been saying for months that it is far more plausible that Covid leaked from a lab than came from a bat. One of the 27 signatories ( aka friends of Fauci ) has recanted his debunking of the Lab Leak Theory.

What I did find is that Don Lemon said he cut off his pro-Trump friends and has also called Trump voters "Nazis".

While we are on the subject , I am a big fan of Bill Maher and "Real Time". Bill used to have the guts to have REAL conservatives on his show ( Steve Moore , Buck Sexton, even Steve Bannon. Just to name a few. ). Since the start of 2020 his show has just been a liberal gab fest . Bill has retained his own relatively open mind and has been critical of some the worst excesses of the left i.e. wokeness and Cancel Culture. But he hasn't had a real free market capitalist or Biden critic on his show in years. And he hasn't criticized Biden .

Here is ANOTHER example with Scott Jennings & Amanda Carpenter

Scott Jennings (born October 26, 1977) is an American writer and conservative commentator. He is an on-air contributor for CNN, and writes for CNN.com, USA Today, and the Los Angeles Times..

Rick Santorum was a regular commentator on CNN. So was Ken Cuccinelli, before taking a position (without being confirmed) in the Trump Administration. I remember Asha Rangappa making him look foolish.

Define "recently". Not this season he hasn't.

Let's ignore the part of your posts where you set and moved the goalposts three times ("since the start of 2020" to "in years" to "not this season"). I don't watch the show, but here's a link to the episode guide for this season (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Real_Time_with_Bill_Maher_episodes#Season_ 19_(2021)). You can clearly see:

Episode 1: Kellyanne Conway
Episode 6: Megyn Kelly

You were wrong under all three of your own self-imposed metrics of "since the start of 2020," "in years," and most recently "not this season." For a bonus, Jenna Ellis was Episode 34 of last season (November 13, 2020; 7 months ago at the time of this post), i.e. this also fails your "since the start of 2020" and "in years" metrics.

Are you going to move the goalpost to "not during the last episode" next? Now where was that quote of yours about how you're satisfied with your fact checking abilities?

Eric Stoner
06-14-2021, 10:49 AM
You are right about Conway. Kelly is no conservative. Plus she is anti-Trump.

I haven't moved any goalposts. It is a FACT that since the beginning of 2020 Maher went into Election mode and did NOT have conservative guests UNLESS like Scaramucci aka "The Mooch" they had turned on Trump. Since Biden's election Maher has had maybe one or two and has had ZERO be part of the main discussion panel. Despite that I still like the show.

What about the Taliban ?

As for Berenson , he has challenged the conventional wisdom about Covid and the Church of the CDC and its High Priest, Fauci. To me , the best solution is to counter anything he posts with better posts.

If you take the time to actually READ his stuff since Covid began, he has raised several important questions about testing , masking and now vaccines. In FACT , if you actually bothered you would have READ that he ADVOCATES people getting vaccinated. More importantly , he is not alone in raising questions about the Pfizer vaccine. Other reputable scientists have questioned the approval process for a vaccine that inter alia is as little as 50% effective within six months of administration.

Eric Stoner

That happens with EVERY vaccine. I have posted about the children, thankfully very few , who got polio from the Sabin vaccine. Which is no longer used btw.
The FACT also is that no vaccine is perfect. None that I know of offer 100% , complete protection. We have known for some time that not everyone ought to get vaccinated. There are people who for various medical reasons are best off not getting vaccinated.
Neither I nor Berenson created the controversy ( very UNDER reported btw) swirling around the Pfizer vaccine. Questions were raised about it early on in the process. Most of which were stifled by the CDC and the mainstream media. It is also a fact that it was approved ( along with J & J and Moderna ) for Emergency Use. That took it outside the normal drug trial and FDA approval process which usually takes anywhere from 2 to 8 years.
It is also a fact that Pfizer SAVED a lot of money by going outside the usual process and made a lot of money on their vaccine. This does not mean that there was necessarily anything wrong but it is beyond question that corners were cut and not every i was dotted and not all t's were crossed.
For just raising questions Berenson was kicked off Twitter. For instance , he has analyzed the data from Israel , the most vaccinated of any country, which says that the Pfizer vaccine has a FULLY protective effect for only SIX ( 6 ) months. And Berenson has repeatedly stated that vaccinated people who get Covid recover more and faster than those who are not vaccinated. For that and other things he is treated as a leper or heretic. He and Zweig have reported on dozens of doctors who would love to speak out about mask mandates and compulsory vaccination but do not dare for fear of losing their jobs, research money and other things.
It wasn't me or Berenson who completely politicized the medicine. Perhaps the political aspects were inevitable. Nonetheless the fact remains that policies are being imposed without scientific foundation. Assumptions and hypotheses about things like masks are not scientific proof. The most recent study from the University Of Waterloo clearly shows that the ONLY mask that protects the wearer and those around him or her is the N-95. Other masks, even high grade medical surgical masks were far , far less effective. Extended wearing of the same masks has been shown to act as a germ collector. Not just of Covid but other pathogens.
It is also a FACT that Americans returning from vacations in Western Europe report that life has pretty much returned to normal. And they do not make their schoolchildren wear masks. They are vaccinating but the age for children varies from country to country.

Perhaps you could do what Twitter has refused to do. Rather than just accuse him of spreading "misinformation" can you cite what he has said that was not true ? My understanding is that he has looked at the data and asked a LOT of questions. Some of which make Fauci et. al. very uncomfortable. Many of which question government policy.
For instance, if it has been proven that those who have had Covid have superior immunity to that provided by the various vaccines then why do they have to be vaccinated ? He has also raised serious questions about mask mandates , especially regarding children . He did not concoct the numbers from Israel that clearly raise serious questions about the strength and efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine.

He was flat out WRONG ! I'd like to know his basis for saying that. I have HEARD and SEEN him say that vaccination was good and that it lowered the risk of serious illness and death. The studies clearly show that the vaccinated either do not get sick or if they do , have milder and shorter bouts with the virus.

Possibly he was thrown off by Pfizer and Moderna dissolving their control groups halfway through their clinical trials.
Both called in their control group who were given a placebo instead of the vaccine. In a "double blind " study neither the administrator nor recipients are supposed to know who is getting what. Both companies offered members of their control groups the real vaccine.

Probably because the crime rate is much lower. In Nicaragua, the homicide rate is 11 per 100,000. In the Honduras, it's 43 and in El Salvador it's 51.

They weren't coming THEN. According to " 60 Minutes" they are coming NOW. People are leaving Nicaragua in droves.

I saw that too. Ortega has replaced their democracy with a dictatorship. I worry about that happening here.

You are worried about "What's His Name" becoming a dictator ? Me too. Who knew ?

Last week the N.Y. Times confirmed the authenticity and accuracy of Hunter Biden's laptop AND the e-mails contained therein. That was a year and a half after they joined the chorus saying it was just Russian disinformation and after Facebook and Twitter suppressed any discussion. And suspended the account of The New York Post. They also reported that he is being investigated for tax evasion and other crimes ; probably money laundering. I could say a lot more but I do NOT want to rehash the election of 2020 and its aftermath. It's very simple : Joe Biden lied but he always lies so nobody should be surprised.

As an immigrant in this country, I feel very lucky to live here compared to my country where you can literally be shot dead without asking just for simply pointing at the president's house. When I see Americans complain that their right to free speech is being taken away, it's usually because they're the type of people that like to say and repeat conspiracy theories and... dumb shit. Therefore, I can't say that I feel the same way. I personally think that we should do more to limit the stupidity in this country.
