POTUS 45.19: Being Douced by Irma makes me sad!!

Opinions about facts can certainly be wrong. c.f. intelligent design, climate denial, etc.

Opinions about non-facts can probably not be "wrong" since those are not veridical statements. But they sure can be stupid.

It doesn't matter how many watched it. It only matters how many get Rush, Hannity, and Alex Jones take on it. See, how it works?

They'll say the same things they would've said without the debate having taken place, so who cares?

And yet, nothing the Cubs have done compares to that greatest of horrors inflicted on the world by the White Sox. I speak, of course, of Hawk Harrelson.

Skip Caray rivals Hawk Harrelson, but you can argue he's not the Cubs' fault.

Hit home I see.

Good.

This thread is typically a lefty circle jerk and it's amazing that you can post a sentence like that and miss the irony.


Of course I believe our side is right most of the time. They're my beliefs.

I'm open to other opinions though and I don't always look down on those other opinions with open contempt or lump all of the people who hold them into one bucket.


Judging by my Facebook feed, you're way off the mark on who finds this disrespectful. Sure, there's the obvious wingnuts, but also progressives and actually more women than men. Limited sample size, sure, but certainly more diverse than the sample size herein.

To be fair most of the women I see upset are obviously spam.

And narrow. Often very narrow due to the bias that may inform those opinions.

Yeah, that's entirely on Ted Turner and the Braves.

I have no idea as I haven't seen what you're referring to.

I know my Facebook feed is small and mostly white. I mentioned "small sample size" in my post.

I have a lot of liberal friends though and I was surprised at how many of them (many females) don't care for this form of protest or find it "disrespectful."


I assumed (incorrectly) that they'd all see it the way that I do.

that's why it's good to hear other opinions. I still think I'm right, but I'm aware that many don't see it my way.

Did you not see Handy post approximately 100 different military members supporting it? Or did you just ignore it?

Perhaps Handy needs to spam the thread with 100 more supportive Tweets from service members.

Just what we need! I'm sure you could go on Twitter and find stuff to back up any point of view. Also, I'm certain some service members support it. Even if it's only 1% that's still thousands of people.

Haha, I'd be fine with that obviously.

I support it whether military members do or not.

I'm sure plenty of military could be found who find it disrespectful.

Wouldn't change my mind.


As UNO said, the anthem and the flag are so much more than just the military.

Agreed on all points, you can definitely fine military members who do or don't support your opinion but that probably shouldn't be what you base it on anyhow.

Yeah, when an account handle is something like "SUSIE4TRUMP", or "DEPLORABLE Cheryl", or "Drew_MAGA45USA", then it's obviously a bot.

Also, you cannot rely on Facebook or any social media for anything. Russia is creating fake bot accounts all the time that take Republican positions.

Some libs have gotten in on the act, too. There are accounts like "DC Resister Bee" and "IMPEACH HIM" that constantly Tweet left-wing meme spam in response to Trump's Tweets.
