recapture that youthful innocence ...

nice edited vid. Taken completely out of context. That being that he was under fire for being a radical muslim...Lying bastards really disturb me only because so many people are clueless enough to believe them. That's why our world is broken...idiots.

Incidentally, this response is for Fred...I know no one else buys it.

Well NAP ...

I posted the video - So obviously it caught my attention - And whether i or anyone else here buys into the spill - Some very good points were made.

I been following Bill Maher (and Jimmy Dore) for quite a while, as a probable guess i would bet i was first to post Jimmy Dore on this forum and Bill Maher on PA2 ... Saying that, I have voted almost continuously since 1968 ... Once upon a time you could of labeled me an FDR Democrat - But i no longer believe in its (once upon a time) political stances and promises ... If a definition of my political ideals (needs to be offered up) - I am a Progressive Independent (registered here in the Evergreen state).

Not: It comes with the new territory, I've called home now (for ten years) here in the Inland Northwest.

While i do agree Trump has now met the articles for his impeachment (plus i personally can't stand him) ... The reality in the U.S. (as a whole) is that both Republican and the Democratic parties are out of touch with most American citizens lives ... The obvious (chaotic loggerhead) situation which the U.S. and (not coincidentally) other world nations (i.e. Brexit etc etc) find themselves - Has been a well planned and calculated set up (which should be no surprise for those in this community) to most probably continue the further imprisonment (body, mind, and souls) of all human on this planet by whoever or whatever the conspiratorial world might desire to call them?

While i consider it a privilege (via those that sacrificed for this nation) to be able to vote ... I no longer kid myself in believing in a most perfect union. Human life just does not work that way. Still i am thankful for the learning experience.

BTW ...

progressive

adj.
Moving forward; advancing.
adj.
Proceeding in steps; continuing steadily by increments.

I assumed that Giovanni. But I’m still betting that you knew when Obama made his statement he was responding to claims of radical Islamism. I think another example of the Hegelian dynamic at work. Pressure-counter pressure. It’ an inherently ugly process. So very human, no?

Could you please reserve the expression of your loyalty to the US Democrats for the political threads, NotAPretender? Any one of the eleventy hundred ones will do. This here is however a news thread, not a political discussion thread, and you know what I said about US political crap spilling over onto other threads. I believe I was perfectly clear about that.

Thank you.

[Emil El Zapato]

Does that mean you don’t recognize Jimmy dore as having made a political statement, mr Aragorn? This is getting ridiculous

I guess I’ve had my fun here. The Fred’s of the world win again. Whatever the process of revoking my membership is. Go ahead and do it. We shall meet again, my friend

In my announcement from the 30th of August 2019, I have clearly stated that The Cosmic Emporium is a news thread, and that only member giovonni, as originator of this thread ─ and knowing and understanding his intention for this thread ─ is exempt from the restriction regarding political topics, while other members may not engage in US-political discussions either on this thread or on any other non-political thread.

As a reminder, below are my words, verbatim...:

The only non-political thread exempt from this rule ─ because it is a random news thread ─ is The Cosmic Emporium, and only insofar as that it's giovonni who brings a political news item to the members' attention.

Political news and political satire are one-way communications, for the reader's information and/or entertainment. They are not invitations to political debates, and especially not when there are already three million threads on this forum dedicated to US-political discussions and other associated nonsense.

I guess I’ve had my fun here. The Fred’s of the world win again. Whatever the process of revoking my membership is. Go ahead and do it. We shall meet again, my friend

Well, then I guess it's a pity that you cannot divorce yourself from your US bipartisan indoctrination, and then you must do what you must do. And that leaves you with three options...

• You decide to retire from the forum, in which case you'll have 24 hours to reconsider. If you do reconsider, then you may contact any of the staff members about this via a private message.

• You request a sabbatical. Members on sabbatical can still read all threads on the forum, and they can also still send private messages, but they can no longer post ─ not even visitor messages.

• You remain an active member of The One Truth, and then I'll simply deny you access to this thread here.

Do however make sure that you contact the staff about your decision, because as it stands, the clock with the 24-hour grace time has begun ticking already, and if we do not receive any communication from you by the time it expires ─ i.e. at 14:36 UTC on 2 November 2019 ─ then your account will be placed in retirement.

You can't say I didn't warn you enough, NotAPretender. If we have to have laws and rules around here ─ and unfortunately, we do ─ then those laws and rules must be the same for everyone.

Can I request that Fred not be allowed to thank any post that he knows is going to piss me off because it pisses me off

Restricting individual members' ability to thank or not thank specific posts is unfortunately technically not possible. Purely hypothetically speaking and purely from the technical point of view, the closest approximation to what you're asking would be that we create a special member group that doesn't have the ability to use the Thanks button, and to then move Fred into said group. But that's preposterous, and I refuse to do any such thing. Fred has every right to thank whatever post he wishes to thank.

Look, there are people here among our members who will also categorically refrain from thanking any and all posts made by a certain other member ─ and for that matter, the same is true over at Project Avalon ─ and if you're going to allow yourself to get upset by that, then you're in a world of hurt. I will readily admit that it bothers me too at times when I see someone thanking all posts above and below mine while skipping my own posts time and time again, but it is something that each and everyone of us must learn to deal with.

All too often, the Thanks button gets used ─ whether by clicking it or by deliberately not clicking it ─ as an expression of a passive-aggressive attitude or hubris, even by people who proclaim themselves to be above such behavior. It is unfortunately a very human thing to do, and perhaps especially so among those who in their hubris like believing of themselves that they'd be above it all ─ they are actually the worst offenders. I must admit that I even do it myself, but in my case, it is actually a conscious attempt to send a subtle and subliminal signal to the ones with the hubris, so as to let them know that I'm on to them, and to confront them with their hypocrisy. I can be a real smartass if I have to.

That all said, I don't think that Fred would be using the Thanks button as a passive-aggressive expression. He already very sparingly thanks posts anyway.

Now, if you really have a problem with Fred, then I suggest you add him to your ignore filter. But it would still not prevent you from seeing where he has thanked a post, or even that he himself has posted. You just wouldn't see his posts themselves anymore, but instead you would see a placeholder, reminding you of the fact that he did post on whatever thread it concerns, and that you are not seeing it because you've got him on your ignore list. I know it's a cheesy feature, but I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that, because it's a built-in of the vBulletin software.
