Sickophants

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

:happy-cheerleaderkid: I'm in awe. Too unhinged for both Faux Noise and Newsmax is really saying something!

I used to like her at 60 Minutes. I know that it's easy to charge 'mental disease', but she's really gone over the edge compared to when she was a responsible, if con, journalist.
... Logan added: “And they may think that they’re going to become gods; that’s what they tell us. You know [Yuval] Harari and all the rest of them at the World Economic Forum? You know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches and that, while they dine on the blood of children? Those are the people, right? They’re not gonna win!” ...
I get that she "was beaten and sexually abused on 11 February 2011, while reporting the celebration in Tahrir Square (Egypt) following Hosni Mubarak’s ouster," that this could be PTSD and I'm sympathetic to that, but there are limits to acceptable nuttiness and hatefulness. Let's hope she loses even more platforms.
The last five or six years in America have told people that they no longer need to be ashamed of racism, homophobia, mocking the disabled, or admitting that they don't give a darn about anybody but themselves. Indeed, they should be proud of these feelings -- they are what makes them "real" Americans. The people who object to this kind of behavior are the real villains.

Once people understand that their worst impulses will be celebrated, they are not going to go back to suppressing those urges.

Alleged Paul Pelosi attacker posted multiple conspiracy theories

The man who allegedly attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband early Friday posted memes and conspiracy theories on Facebook about Covid vaccines, the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, and an acquaintance told CNN that he seemed “out of touch with reality.”

David DePape, 42, was identified by police Friday as the suspect in the assault on Paul Pelosi at the speaker’s San Francisco home.
Image
... Last year, David DePape posted links on his Facebook page to multiple videos produced by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell falsely alleging that the 2020 election was stolen. Other posts included transphobic images and linked to websites claiming Covid vaccines were deadly. “The death rates being promoted are what ever ‘THEY’ want to be promoted as the death rate,” one post read.

DePape also posted links to YouTube videos with titles like “Democrat FARCE Commission to Investigate January 6th Capitol Riot COLLAPSES in Congress!!!” and “Global Elites Plan To Take Control Of YOUR Money! (Revealed)”

Two days after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd, DePape wrote that the trial was “a modern lynching,” falsely indicating that Floyd died of a drug overdose.

He also posted content about the “Great Reset”– the sprawling conspiracy theory that global elites are using coronavirus to usher in a new world order in which they gain more power and oppress the masses. And he complained that politicians making promises to try to win votes “are offering you bribes in exchange for your further enslavement.”

Most of the public posts on DePape’s Facebook page were from 2021. In earlier years, DePape also posted long screeds about religion, including claims that “Jesus is the anti christ.” ...
To be fair, it sounds like he's mentally ill, but we can see who he's influenced by, including:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/speaker-pelo ... 21392.html
... Nancy Pelosi has been featured prominently in Republican attack ads leading into next month’s midterm elections and is a regular target in right-wing media. Last year, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said that “it will be hard not to hit” Pelosi with the speaker’s gavel if he takes over the position in 2023.

In 2019, the National Rifle Association’s American Rifleman magazine included a photo of the House speaker next to the headline “Target Practice.” Video taken during the Jan. 6 takeover of the Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump shows rioters seeking Pelosi, with one shouting, “Where are you, Nancy? We’re looking for you,” and then singing, “Nancy? Oh, Nancy?” Some of the insurrectionists took over Pelosi’s office, with one, Richard Barnett of Arkansas, posing with his feet on a desk....
Assholes.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin Jokes About Assault On Nancy Pelosi's Husband
A Republican governor made light of the attack on Paul Pelosi just hours after it occurred.


... The crowd cheered at his remark.



... Virginia Democrats called Youngkin’s comments “absolutely disgusting and unbecoming.”

“The Speaker’s husband was brutally attacked and currently fighting for his life and Youngkin is making jokes,” the state party added in its tweet.

"The motive for the attack “is still being determined,” Scott added."

He went on to explain the ongoing investigation to determine if there is an actual link between daylight and the earth facing the sun.

The guy is no more "mentally ill" than the rest of the election-denying Q-following idiots. There are a lot of people going around with clinical depression, bi-polar, paranoid-schizophrenics, etc. that may ought to be in a rubber room but they don't believe all that crap.

He's no different than most republicans. People who believe the crap they accept as fact, accept all kinds of things.
Don't some 60% believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old and other similar crazy shit, including that trump is their savior sent by god.

There are a lot of people who:
Believe "you must be born again" but don't believe in reincarnation

Believe that when a person dies, their physical body is dead but their "spirit" remains alive but still subject to physical affect such as fire and brimstone or golden streets.

Believe in a "holy ghost" but not in ghosts.

Believe "God's will be done" but that God can be talked into doing something through prayer

Believe that God let's things happen but when s/he notices somebody's house in is the way of the hurricane s/he might let them keep parts of the house and they are therefore "blessed."

Believe that God created the universe and is omnipotent, but somehow a creature called the "Devil" can rise up against the omnipotent God and also that humans have choice as to whether or not to go along with whatever the omnipotent God wants.

Speaking of "omnipotent", if God is in fact omnipotent, can s/he create a rock that is too heavy for them to lift?
