on another note....


Rand Paul went on youtube with a message of defiance against the mask mandates

I've read that as a result he was suspended from Youtube for 7 days. I haven't verified that but I it wouldn't surprise me.

Paul's messaging was divisive but it wasn't fake news or false information. Suspending a sitting U.S. Senator that is pretty well liked is short sighted. The last thing big tech needs is to get Rand Paul on the break up big tech wagon. He'll never let it drop.

Calling for resistance against the government is a bit much…

12 months you guys were all about civil disobedience and protesting

now its a bit much

Um..it was a bit much Jan. 6th

Wearing a mask in order to protect others isn’t the same as discrimination practiced by law enforcement. There is a difference.

That's correct. There is a difference.

But mandating someone who already HAD covid-19 to wear a mask (particularly if that person was also vaccinated) is a bit much. They are not a carrier and could not catch or spread the disease. Furthermore, if that infected and vaccinated person comes into contact with someone who has active covid, they are loaded with antibodies. So.... they will be fine.

So you've said. My position is one of science, medicine, public health, and common sense. If you say I am wrong, then your position is based on politics or just... pride.

Okay that then

Every day I come in here and think to myself..."Oh boy! I hope there's some good conversation about Donald Trump in here again today!

Quiet! We've almost turned e.

Not about Trump, but Prince Andrew was sued today.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

twitter has been fun to watch regarding this symposium. I consider myself a more or less neutral observer on this watching people take sides

honestly its hard to believe the level of belief some people have. Its ok to believe the 2020 election had some serious irregularities that have to be investigated. But some of the stuff people are clinging to as beyond a shadow of a doubt proof is crazy.

I think Lindell will never recover from this and the people that work for him and everyone he supports in the supply chain are going to suffer.

Oh. They know. He's going down with the ship. Taking their whole town with him.

"Its ok to believe the 2020 election had some serious irregularities that have to be investigated. But some of the stuff people are clinging to as beyond a shadow of a doubt proof is crazy."

To the people who know better, the people who believe the former don't look that much different from the people you describe in the latter...

Agreed. Totally agree. Unless Lindell's right. And he can prove it.

When Dr Michael Burry went off on his own to short the housing market 2005 he was ALONE. He was alone and the first. He was alienated. He was SUED by his largest investor for prohibiting sales of Scion Capital in 2007 when the housing bonds did not go down in value but foreclosures skyrocketed and (as a result) Burry accused the entire market of being entirely fraudulent. They said Burry would never recover from this. Well, before that case went to trial, fraud was proven, the market tanked, and Burry turned $130 million into $2.59 billion. And he paid his largest investor $489 million out of that $2.59 billion. That investor (out of PRIDE) NEVER apologized. He just quietly dropped the lawsuit and cashed out.

But Burry was proven right. And all the FBI wanted to do was investigate him for knowing things that no one else did. They assumed that he (somehow) HAD to have done something criminal. I mean, how could only ONE PERSON be right and everyone else, wrong????

Ask Courtney Love how one person could be right and everyone else be wrong:

Kurt Cobain's Widow in 2005 wrote:If Weinstein invites you to a private party at the four seasons, don't go

.

That was 2005. Those comments cost her, her acting career. Those comments, Hollywood alienated her. But (in the end) she was right. She was proven right and still, I don't think anyone gives her credit for that.

So....

Lindell better be right. And if he is right (voter fraud put the wrong man in the White House), what does society do about that? Do we just shrug our shoulders like we did with Courtney Love or do we investigate him like we did with Burry? Or (if he's right) do we remove Biden from the White House?

And there it is. He still believes

" I mean, how could only ONE PERSON be right and everyone else, wrong????"

Yeah, and this guy thought the world was flat. He built a rocket to prove it. Oops...

he was wrong

I am not saying Lindell is right. I am saying that (for his own sake) he better be right.

But even still hedge, if he is proven right, do you think we remove Biden and put Trump back in the White House? Would you be okay with that if Lindell is right? We both know (out of sheer pride) you would not be okay with that.
