  1. So why are they asserting that hydroxychloroquine, which is made by Sanofi, and Ivermectin, which is made by Merck, are valid treatments for COVID? I mean you couldn’t have picked two medications that are more Big Pharma than those. Mere skepticism doesn’t drive that kind of idiocy. That’s driven by an overconfidence in an ability they do not actually possess. “Everyone in the CDC is wrong, but I’m not!” Again, it’s not so much the skepticism, it’s their idiotic alternative suggestions. It’s not enough to cast doubt on what mainstream medical communities are recommending. To actually prove they’re wrong, you also have to suggest valid alternatives, and they fail rather spectacularly at that. The whole entire premise behind what they’re saying is the ugly cousin of the God of the gaps fallacy: “I don’t believe science provided by Big Pharma, therefore magic (which again is also attributed to Big Pharma)” And again, I mean no disrespect to you directly, but it’s been my observation that lawyers are the hardest peddlers of this Ivermectin/hydroxychloroquine/anti-vaccine drivel. But regardless of their actual profession, the output is the same: they are cosplaying doctors and medical professionals in general. You cannot justify skepticism with make believe and demand respect for such positions. Science basically works like a game of king of the hill. Something assumes the role of king, and everyone else has the absolute right to, within certain guidelines, knock it off and if they succeed, they’re the new “king” unless and until someone else knocks them off. Much as the Joe Bros want to believe it, Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine haven’t even come close to knocking off monoclonals. Vaccination has never come close to being knocked of by non-vaccination. You don’t win king of the hill by declaring yourself king from the bottom of the fucking hill.
  2. The same thing it meant the first time it was posted: that certain people are asking us to take them seriously when they can’t be trusted to spell “deceit” correctly.

  4. I’ll accept Collins’ premise, provided however that they take their time, have hearings, and go through the process of giving a lifetime appointment as SCOTUS associate Justice… to Anita Hill.
  5. I mean religion is in itself a grift, but the Falwells were (are) fundamentalist and IIRC, young earth creationist to their core. When you grow up to be as old as either of the Jerry’s, you come to a crossroads where you have to choose to be honest or to be a fundamentalist because it’s impossible to be both.
  6. Can’t believe I just saw this but if true???? Shhhhhhhhh Let them do it. Shhhhhhh
  7. “Do my own research.” Common right wing parlance for “here’s an opinion I pulled out of my ass and searched the seediest underbelly of Google for someone else to have that same whacked out opinion, and even though I had to skip past like ten thousand links saying I was full of shit, this one random dude living in his moms basement in Cincinnati confirms I’m right. Look at me, I am smart.”
  8. Small point of order, but the batshit to which you refer asserted Janis Joplin, not Marilyn Monroe. Right and we still regard people that way. After we left the State Fair at the 2018 Texas-OU game, we saw on the corner of Cullum and Lipscomb (Grand) a couple of hyper Christian douchebags holding up enhanced photos of aborted fetuses and they were waxing moronic about liberalism/communism/atheism and how “they” all want to do that to their precious Christian babies. Some dude walking behind me just yelled out “FAKE NEWS!!!” and that was basically it. So yeah, the filter through which batshit should be collected is still there but it’s really breaking down. And it’s also dishonest as hell to attribute the reason that people are troubled by this as having anything to do with this make believe and pretend “jealousy” of guys like Rogan that we really don’t have. Would I like to have a podcast with as many viewers as he does? Never really thought about it. It’s certainly not an ambition of mine. Would I like to have a podcast with that many viewers because I constantly spew bullshit (or freely let my guests do same)? Fuck off with that shit. The motherfuckers saying that shit are making a transparent, horrific, bad faith attempt at psychoanalysis. I used a word a couple days ago to describe such people, but that’s what they really are: ultracrepidarians. They are giving opinions about subjects that far exceed the scope of their knowledge. They ain’t about that life. So when people come along and say “you’re just jealous of Joe Rogan,” I attach as much value to that as I attach to the dust in my vacuum.
  9. Hang on just a goddamn minute Just what the fuck makes you think we have a floor?
  10. That’s…oddly specific
  11. Not even appalling to me. I expect this kind of talk from those two. Wanna know why Jordan Peterson rose to prominence? Some people heard him talk and they’re like “oh look, an apologist for the status quo and a hater of Karl Marx that speaks in polysyllabic terms. I like him. He’s wise!”
  12. Lindell will put a stop to this once his pillow sales begin to plummet when his customers realize this whole thing was a grift… So get ready for more and more of this bullshit, unless of course this useless douchebag lands himself in a prison cell.
  13. Yeah he’s essentially a modern day Michel Foucault on coke.
  14. Batshit crazy and embarrassingly ignorant. What you’re reading is an ultracrepidarian waxing moronic.
  15. Purgatory? Purgatory would be an improvement
  16. Exactly. There was an FDR-esque candidate in the Democratic field, but he didn’t get the nomination.
  17. Haven’t you heard? We take awesome care of our veterans!!!
  18. Who needs evidence when you have anecdotal stories?
  19. Ambassador Von Miller
  20. That would be amusing. “Recipes for city folks pretending to be country”
  21. You don’t even know what it is, much less could you articulate a complete sentence to defend this feeble, garbled drivel.
  22. Because cosplay is their game.
  23. You’d have to ask the original poster of the thread. Answers to the name @Parliament
  24. Nah, you ain’t about that life.
