Nothing new and nothing true, I see.
I say something, you lie about it, I correct you, you repeat the same lies. There's nothing new under the Rawma sun, just the endless beating heat of indistinguishable lies.
There was one point of agreement between us: that Pat was wrong about the coronavirus relief containing unrelated spending. I've backed up my claims; Pat just makes stuff up that he can't support. It is sad that Pat is trapped in an endless cycle of projection of his own dishonesty and thin skin.
I bookmarked some posts earlier to respond to, so I'll take the opportunity for some separate commentary:
I bet you can predict what rawma thinks on any particular topic just by knowing that he is left wing.
(Leaving out the consolcwby trolling in between; you're welcome! Shasarak does echo consolcwby's incorrect assertion that I had opposed a coronavirus relief package because Trump wanted one.)
Its not being a contrarian at all. I would put people like Mistwell in that particular category.
rawma is the type of person who gets his talking points from places like CNN and NY Times which frees him from the need to be consistant. Therefore he is happy to complain about Trump wanting an aid package one second before the narrative changes to the opposite.
You and I may experience some kind of cognitive dissonance but for him it is just another Tuesday.
This is of course not true (not that that would ever dissuade Shasarak). In the current election discussion, there are really only two sides: accept the Biden win or deny that result, which is effectively support of Trump. Trump was obviously unfit in 2016, and has only demonstrated that with greater certainty since. So, no surprise that I opposed and oppose Trump. But I am also quite confident that Shasarak could not correctly predict even my presidential votes in the period of 2000 to 2012. (Yes, secret ballot, anonymous poster, etc, so there's no way to prove it; but just based on significant and even unfortunate numbers of left-wing people voting for third party candidates, one probably wouldn't be able to tell in general just from "he is left wing".) I've deviated here on occasion from the usual left-wing line, like on birthright citizenship, and I have to agree with the rather conservative Joe Manchin that money for $2000 checks would be better spent on more unemployment aid.
The recent Consolidated Appropriations Act gives several examples of a greater problem, lame right-wing talking points: study of the 1908 Springfield race riot and gender programs in Pakistan and climate change in Tibet - oh no, race and gender and climate change! But the first is a study of the
archeological site by the Department of Interior with respect to whether the site should be added to the National Parks system; the second is in the context of money for democracy programs and gender programs in Pakistan, and the gender programs seem constrained by the following reasonable policy:
(f) REGIONAL PROGRAMS.—Funds appropriated by this Act shall be made available for assistance for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other countries in South and Central Asia to significantly increase the recruitment, training, and retention of women in the judiciary, police, and other security forces, and to train judicial and security personnel in such countries to prevent and address gender-based violence, human trafficking, and other practices that disproportionately harm women and girls.
And "climate change in Tibet" is presumably from "POLICY REGARDING THE ENVIRONMENT AND WATER RESOURCES ON THE TIBETAN PLATEAU" which seems at least as concerned with Chinese policies as climate change; it's also much shorter than "STATEMENT OF POLICY REGARDING THE SUCCESSION OR REINCARNATION OF THE DALAI LAMA".
It's usually ridiculously easy to debunk the nonsense posted here, especially about the election, like claims of more than 100% turnout in Wisconsin or in Detroit. (Spoiler: Those claims are wrong.) I don't post talking points from anywhere; I apply the same debunking to things I want to believe as to things you want to believe, and since it's not hard to do and the quality of their posts here would be higher, one has to wonder why it's not done by the right-wingers.
