Not much distance remaining between her and Glenn Greenwald et al.

I too do not say everything that's on my mind at all times out of respect for people I share space with. I guess I should feel aggrieved.
I will let my wife know that holding in farts is cancel culture, and I wont do it anymore.

LBJ is actually the only good president, refusing to be hemmed in by clothes and bathroom doors.

My spirituality is actually impossible to discuss with virtually anyone. Deists don’t have room to entertain notions of no free will, no human soul, atheism, etc. So I keep my yap shut out of respect, and to not become annoying to non-internet people.

And I have never considered myself censored or cancelled, despite not having a safe space to share my deeply personal and deeply important “religion”. If you’re not compatible and not aligned with your surroundings on a given topic, it is what it is.

If I used bumper stickers "Show me the little ronies." would get prominent placement.

Me too, but that's because people just aren't that into zoroastrianism anymore.

So is that a you problem or an other people problem? And I could ask the same question of myself. I open up about very little to all but a small group of people, because of a “fear” of what they might think. But maybe that’s not being fair to other people. Or maybe you’ve already tried and are speaking from experience.

Very much from experience. It’s a toxic topic.

She’s not new at this. You don’t say this on the record without there being a step 2. Making this statement is very very interesting.

You, again, are bringing a false presupposition to your argument and poisoning the question with it.

The company set up the facility. That's what the company does, so they would have to not only know that it was supposed to be an anti-Semitic symbol, or be so completely ignorant as to not be aware what they were setting up. Your argument is that they were either co-conspirators or incompetent boobs.

No one is arguing CPAC was tricked into something or that there wasn't an anodyne committee meeting over how the stage was going to set up. Of course they chose the design. No one said they didn't. You are impugning anti-Semitism to both the company and CPAC.
Looking forward to another breaking911 tweet, because I'm moving on.
San Dimas High School Football Rules.

Amirite?
Posts breaking911 tweet blaming the entire original company on stage design.

Is called out, posts second article where guy from CPAC says they decided with original stage company they selected the stage.

Refuses to acknowledge guy admitted to selecting the stage with the stage design company.
Who refused to "admit" something that was patently obvious?

What a weird thing to say.

You realize the Forward is a Jewish magazine right?
What does it matter what the forward is? I’m talking the simple quote. Jesus.

Because a Jewish magazine probably did some research on the anti-semitism question.

You are the one filling the quote with a backstory of Nazi symbols and co-ordination between the design company and CPAC.

The forward is not a serious publication.

For example, Bethany mandel frequently writes for them.

I mean, it’s not like the daily caller or something, but it’s not an authority for anti semitism or whatever

Real RWNJ organization.
The Forward is published by an independent not-for-profit association. It has a politically progressive editorial focus

I literally don't know why I need to say this so many times. The source doesn't matter. This isn't about any nazi thing or anything.

You posted a trash tweet from a suspect publication with no link, and were called out on it. Because said tweet implied stage company designed and acted alone.

Then you posted an article from the forward (great, doesn't matter) that contradicted that it wasn't just the original company decision, and the CPAC group did have sign-off, and you went off on this tangent about saying I am making up all these false claims and alluding it to nazism. I must have said specifically 4 times today that it was all coincidental, and didn't outright call anyone a nazi.

All I was pointing out, was your initial rush to push breaking911, wasn't the full story, and CPAC did also sign off on the stage.

There was nothing more to it than that. Jesus Christ, I am not spending anymore time on this one.

Can you show me on the bear where she hurt you?

So an entire 125 year old mostly Yiddish newspaper founded by Jewish socialists is "not a serious publication" because they published something by a person you don't like.

The only way the filibuster gets crushed is if the GOP mutates it into an in-your-face farce.

Yes, as I stated multiple times. The issue is that one can learn it was a nazi symbol by just going to the wiki page.
Let's say I'm the stage designer. I've never heard of the Odal rune, I have no idea that the stage design I just came up with is similar to the Odal rune, and I have no idea what the name of that rune is. How exactly would I ever end up on the Wikipedia page for the Odal rune?

It seems to be petered out but I'm sure we'll hear updates when they're available.
