So just to be clear... I'm loony correct? And David Corn is a disseminating "pawn" because he decided to screengrab & pontificate about the glaring, easy to understand, fallacy instead of raising the same convoluted FBI issue EmptyWheel pointed out?

Does that sum it up?

Dumbest gaslighting ever. Who was president on January 6?

No, they are not.

Screencap is literally creating a new form.

Retruthing it on Truth Social is the only way to "disseminate" it in the form he posted it.

I dont know what Trumps real purpose is.

I do know he doesnt like it when people with large followings point out that his statements arent factual.

1st... yup I missed an "e"... golly gee what will I do?

2nd... now you want me to guess on what Trump's purpose is for his post because you cant spin your way out of a dumb argument.

I dont suffer fools. I just point them out so others dont have to.

So using your logic the article you just wrote about Halligan flubs, because I dont like it does it mean I can accuse you of being a pawn & disseminating in Trumps aide.

You said factual stuff but its not the angle I would take, so I get to attack you right?

Cheeba Jones @cheebajones.bsky.social · 19h

So you're telling us that Marc Elias is a pawn, and Fred Guttenberg is a pawn, and Joyce Vance is a pawn etc etc etc...

Just because you see something from a different angle doesnt mean those people are wrong.

You need to get off your high horse & stop accusing people of shit.

Cheeba Jones @cheebajones.bsky.social · 19h

This is the most brainwashed response ever. Emptywheel is literally calling people pawns & claiming they are disseminating in Trumps aide because she doesnt like the way they battle his lies.

She gets called out, rightfully, & your response is to immediately take a sexism position. GTFO.

Lying to the public as an elected official should be punished with instant execution.

This is the only way to fix our govt.

If you knowingly mislead the public, your head should roll. Thats how you beat misinfo/disinfo

What actual response do you suggest we give to this message?

You are admitting that our constitution is shredded & your authority as US SENATORS means nothing. What exactly do want our response to be?

Maybe you all should be kicking John Roberts door down instead of crying to us.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

So let me get this straight...

#AmericaFirst means cutting any and all funding to actual Americans and then giving our SoyBean business to Argentina while also handing them $20 Billion?

Oh oh oh, and we are letting a terrorist supporting nation build an Air Force base in our country?

GTFOH #MAGA!

The rich don't integrate

They pay so their kids don't go to your schools.

They pay for Private Healthcare so you don't see them at the hospital.

They live in guarded estates, you are not allowed in.

The only place you MIGHT see them is at work, where they order you around.
