Trump Thread 2.0

[decay]

It's amusing you think the gov't isn't tracking your cell phone until you check-in at a bar or take a cab home.

The cognitive dissonance is unbelievable.

probably is to someone who doesn't know how this stuff is done.

Please explain the relevance of this article to what we are discussing, or hell, just provide some context.

We are in the trump thread, what is the revalence of your conversation with decay to this thread?

If you dont know who bill browder is he is directly linked to the Magnitsky act, an act enacted after Bill Browders auditor/accountant noticed Putin linked oligarchs scamming money from worldwide corporations and embezzlement. The man was then jailed and tortured in jail until he died.

Im kind of annoyed how its ok for you to go off on tangents, but not ok for me to get the thread back on the topic of our dear leader?

[Wschnitz]

For even more context, it just so happened the State Dept pulled his visa immediately following Putins 'International Wanted' notice on Bill Browder.

I think we know what happened here.

Like, do you even know what you are responding to? Do you realize I'm saying the gov't is tracking us all the time, without regard to you making "public declarations" of your whereabouts.

OMG EXIF data lets them know where we are.

Are you following along?

EXIF data != GPS tag in a social media post

Turn your location off on your phone and it will be just a generalized location tag based on your service providers tower your pining on for that post

And so it begins.

Manafort and Flynn are undoubtedly fucked. But boy would i pay good money to see Trump Jr get charges. The mental gymnastics would be insane, like they already are.

mentioning two different things in the same sentence doesn't mean i think they are equally bad. i'm not equivocating them, you are. I dont think this forum should be used for people to push their fringe bullshit.

gwb tried to use the climate change thread for pushing his biased bullshit and conspiracy theories but since he's way out of his fucking element he ends up self-owning himself constantly throughout thread

Dude, you put the two things in the same sentence, simple reading comprehension would lead anyone to make the judgment that you are equivocating them. Anything beyond that would require the reader to use telepathy to divine your intent.

Beyond that, I think everyone was astounded by the depth of the fascism/holocaust denial evident in the last page of this thread, and I also believe that everyone soundly rejected that viewpoint, which is comforting. Everything else is inconsequential...relax people.

You're telling me I don't know anything, yet your equivocating being found to Lyft rides and Facebook check-ins? As if THAT'S how the most powerful security state in the world found you.

Thank you for the laugh this morning. Almost as good as the Flat Earther video I just watched.

Hand me that dictionary please, I'm confused.

To be precise, the root of equivocate is late latin aequivocus which means "ambiguous". Perhaps they meant equating, which means "to compare".

Equivocate is an intransitive verb, equate is transitive. It's a micro-aggression to use equivocate with a subject. Also it jars my ears.

Using a common synonym or definition for both equate and equivocate in one of the original sentences to illustrate the point:

Dude, you put the two things in the same sentence, simple reading comprehension would lead anyone to make the judgment that you are equivocating (stalling, dodging, evading) them.

Dude, you put the two things in the same sentence, simple reading comprehension would lead anyone to make the judgment that you are equating (regarding, treating, representing as equivalent) them.


They're not alone though, here's two examples of the same misuse in mainstream media:

Equivocating neo-Nazis and white supremacists who attended the rally with counter-protesters does not represent California or the moral leadership citizens want from Trump, Thurmond said.
—Mina Corpuz, latimes.com, "California might formally support censure of Trump over Charlottesville comments," 24 Aug. 2017

The decision followed a press conference on Tuesday, in which Trump equivocated white supremacist groups with counter-protesters at Charlottesville.
—Laura Entis, Fortune, "JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Issues Sharp Rebuke of Trump," 16 Aug. 2017

Can you idiots stop fighting with each other about the meaning of words?

Manafort and his business partner gates have been asked to surrender to the US Gov.

Can't wait for all the 'That was before the election' explanations from Trumpers this week. There is no reason to hire manafort except for his connection to russian oligarchs and Putin, gtfo.
