To the extent it comes up: Trump crap post-WH years

Kentucky, right? My guess is his crew was solidly rightwing and spent a lot of time pillowing / rationalizing what had been going on around them for years. JoeK (and others like him?) would see value in a board like this cuz it provides more than a glimpse into a different mindset.

He didn't live in Kentucky I don't think. Not sure if he's from here or not, but I think he was a St. Louisvillian.

I don't think he is right wing at all. Far from it. More way left Greenwalb/Tiabbi bent.

The far left who hates Democrats more than they do the far right?

I might be confusing him with someone else, but he had a Kentucky basketball player avatar for a long time which is why I assumed KY.

Drives me nuts. There is so much overwhelming evidence of collusion, and they just laugh it off and call the rest of the Left delusional. Nobody (reasonable) is saying Russia definitely hacked votes or Trump knowingly met with Putin to hatch a plan, but it is clear as fuck that government agents used social media to sway voters minds in a very calculated and deliberate way. It's also 100% confirmed a Russian operative Natalia Veselnitskaya met in Trump Tower with Don Jr., Manafort and Jared, offering dirt on Hillary in exchange for promises to change policies (Magnitsky Act) crucial to Putin and other Russian Oligarchs. Jr. admitted it, and accepting information from a foreign government official to help in a campaign is a crime. Trump all but admitted it and said he would be stupid not to accept this info, and dozens of Republican Congressmen all said they would accept the info. Meanwhile, these assholes still freak out about the Steele dossier, because they paid a British citizen to do opposition research, which is perfectly legal, always done, and actually a continuation of research started by the GOP against Trump.

Do the people who argue isn't wasn't collusion allow for Putin/Russia embracing anything that would cause chaos? Because if that's their argument, that they have no specific investment in Trump and perhaps even wanted him to lose this time, I could get on board.

Never seen a last name be more appropriate...

She Hates Biden. Some of Her Neighbors Hate the Way She Shows It.

Andrea Dick is a die-hard supporter of former President Donald J. Trump and thinks the election was stolen from him, although that claim has been thoroughly discredited. She does not like President Biden, and that is putting it mildly.

Eh, simply displaying a "Fuck Biden" banner isn't in and of itself obscene and should pass First Amendment muster. If the banner said something like "Biden needs to suck on my bleeding clit", then they could argue obscene. "Fuck" on its own doesn't rise to the level of obscene in a First Amendment sense.

I'd agree harder if this weren't the party that thinks the mere existence of so many humans is offensive and going to ruin children.

Why wouldn’t Fuck Biden be considered obscene?

I mean, in a sense, we know it when we see it.

Obscenity with words requires the utterance to describe sexual activity AND "lack[] serious artistic, literary, political, or scientific value" (according to Miller v California). "Fuck" isn't necessarily sexual; if anything, its sexual connotation in this day and age is secondary. In either the NJ or TX case, they aren't saying "Fuck" in a sexual sense. In addition, showing disapproval to an elected official can be argued to have serious political value.

Well, as long as they don't stop teaching MLK and start saying that the KKK wasn't immoral, I suppose there's still hope.

OK I can appreciate that. Not so much about the fact that you appear to be arguing the sign adds to the political discourse, and not blatant propaganda intended to menace you into a manufactured consent.

The key is muting 1/3 of the people you're linked to.

What's the sense of muting them? If the vast, vast majority of people that are "friends" on Facebook simply just people they barely know, why even be friends with them? I don't really consider myself as having a lot of friends in real life, and if someone is a hard-core Trump supporter, I don't see the value of associating with them anyway.

Absolutely correct. To Ljams’s point about “why”, the answer is that most of them are relatives who I will have to see at some point.

Yeah if they ask and I have them blocked I just say “I’m not on Facebook very much”
