The excuses do seem to be getting worse / more ridiculous, if that is even possible.

Let me make it clearer for you, MAGA does not support Nick Fuentes. At least not anyone I know who would label themselves as a part of MAGA.

Many of you lump us all together when making insults or statements of how dumb you think we are and so I thought it was pretty clear what I meant by saying "we" Maybe I should have said I but again I felt it was pretty clear what I meant.

Fuentes is a 4chan grifter who now says he's voting democrat in the midterms because he's pro chaos. He has no morals or values and only seeks to cause problems. Many of you think that MAGA is that, it is not and never has been.

Kent said it himself publicly that Iran is a threat. He's shifted course, which humans are allowed to do, but it makes him look foolish and leads me to believe there are other things going on behind the scenes.

Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Mr. Kent "has aligned himself with political violence, promoted falsehoods that undermine our democracy and tried to twist intelligence to serve a political agenda."

Now he's a hero of the resistance


Yes.
Because he was one of "them" and simply parroted everything that the far-right did.
He even received a campaign endorsement from Nick Fuentes.

And now he's seen Jesus.

We don't support Nick Fuentes. He's a troll and has no aspirations for anything but himself

It's cute when you refer to yourself in the third person.


I can only imagine who you are referring to since I have them blocked.
Did they deflect from the topic at hand which is JOE KENT?

Trump said today that KENT was "weak on security, very weak on security."

SO WHY WOULD TRUMP NOMINATE HIM?

"I didn't know him well, but I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy," Trump said.

Kent's resignation sparks Trump and Leavitt backlash




No, they didn't. Their post was fine, and EOB went with an unnecessary personal attack.

Hey, cut it out with the personal attacks. You're lucky I'm not a snowflake.

Seriously, when your definition of personal attack becomes so broad and all encompassing, it loses it's meaning for actual personal attacks. Reading something you don't like isn't a personal attack.


No EOB. There was nothing broad about my definition of a personal attack here, and I read tons of stuff I don't like. You clearly attacked Bearlysane88 for no reason whatsoever, other than to call him a troll with no aspirations. Of course Diablo jumped on because that is his M.O. Please, cut it out.
I'd tell you to keep on doing you, but I wouldn't want to be accused of a personal attack.

I'm not sure how pointing out that he referred to himself in the third person becomes calling him a troll with no aspirations, but maybe you know BearlySane88 better than I do. I certainly wasn't implying any of that.


Well that post did get removed so obviously Oski wasn't the only one who felt that way
I guess I see now who is running the asylum around here.


Trump has made a lot of folks so angry that they are no longer objective. Perhaps you didn't write what you meant to say, but it clearly read as what I posted.
You know, by recent Off Topic standards, you just made a personal attack, but I'm not going to run to the moderators about it.

I didn't say anything about Trump or was even thinking about Trump, so maybe you're not being objective. BearlySane88 said "We don't support Nick Fuentes." That was all I was commenting about. Not his other sentence and not what was said in earlier posts. I don't even know much about Nick Fuentes.

His statement can be taken two ways: 1) BearlySane88 purports to speak for a group of people (not sure that's true) or 2) He's referring to himself in the third person. I chose to make a light hearted quip about #2. If a gentle comment meant in jest is too strong to be allowed in Off Topic, well that's an eye opener.


We is not the third person. It is the first person plural. Your intended joke didn't make sense, so it was read as calling BearlySane88 a troll who has no aspirations for anyone but themselves.
So BearlySane88 is plural? OK, nothing wrong with that. I'm done here.

Bingo.

Yesterday, I went back to using the IGNORE feature on a handful of posters.
It's always the same people whining and crying about who said what.

As you've probably noticed, they never actually discuss the topic of the thread.
Only the people in it.

It's become pedantic and boring.
People going into a bunch of "back and forth" crap about clarifying what was said.

Childish really.

Saying Iran is a threat, and advocating war against Iran, are two VERY different things, and you know it.

95% bad faith
5% ignorance

I would qualify your political faction as "leftover MAGA", people who are still drinking the Koolaid after Trump has done a 180 on key promises like:
-Ending Forever War for Israel, selling out to the Adelsons, Singer etc instead
-Releasing the Epstein files, covering up and lying about it instead, then being forced into a half@ss effort only after fierce lobbying by Massie and Khanna
-Violating the First Amendment and due process
Also blowing up the economy with poor tariff strategy and horrific fallout of Iran war and being a habitual liar.

Leftover MAGA boil down to midbrow/lowbrow GOPers and BoomerCons who are highly influenced by a constellation of astroturfed online media and influencers.

I think you pretty much nailed it.

The only thing that I would add is "weaponizing" the DoJ and using it to harass and pressure people like Fed Chair Powell, who he appointed in the first place. He repeatedly appoints people that he then throws under the bus, like Joe Kent. - - - Kind of like a jilted girlfriend.

If I could, I'd give you 5 STARS.

Thanks, I would also add to the Leftover MAGA profile a high propensity to view politics in tribal, ultrapartisan terms.

Even then, a lot of them are going to peel off and turn against Trump because he just wrecked the world economy with a very ill-conceived war of choice that is going to have a severe impact on many elements of his base.

Nope, they go hand in hand.

Look at the dates on Kent's tweet, 2020, 2024, things have changed, and lessons were learned from the 12 day war.

Iran offered a very good deal to scale back its nuclear program, and the parties were close to agreement according to many insiders. Israel scuttled it, their holy grail goal has been to destroy Iran, using American blood and treasure, and with Trump and his crowd bought by Adelson, they sidelined Vance, Tulsi, Kent and other reasonable patriots and pushed for a disastrous war of choice on Iran.

And no self-respecting pundit would ever quote Mitch freekin McConnell to bolster his case, talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel...

100% Israel Derangement Syndrome

Kent was leaking info and saw the writing on the wall. There's a reason he wasn't included in any Iran war meetings

Normally I'd agree but Mitchy (or his handlers) is coming around, he pledged to vote yes on the SAVE Act today.

60% compulsive tribalism
40% all-round asininity

I'll admit that the numbers here are somewhat arbitrary, because it's hard to tell where one stops and the other begins.
