Reflection Pool-Gate

[crazyfingers]

Davey isn’t “the left”. But yeah. He totally had it coming because he’s just a lefty moron. They should have shot him.

I don,t for a second believe he tried to damage the pool. I would love to see an opinion poll showing how many people think that this is a bullshit charge by a scumbag Trump toadie.

 

[scombrid]

Of course he didn’t try to damage the pool. But then again the radical leftists often pour themselves into gaudy spandex and go for a fifty mile bike ride on their way to mischief making.

I know that I will for sure dress in my most identifying clothing and take a most identifiable and slow conveyance along which many people will see me as such on my way to cause mischief, yes.

Apologetics for right wing evil shows true colors.

Ahh....A defense of the stupid left? A ridiculous response.

Hardly apologetics for the right. I am a centrist who sees the left and right equally crazy, ideological, and stupid.

We can walk through the history of the radical left. Weathermen. Eco-terrorism Embedding metal spikes in trees so when a lumberjack cuts through with a chain saw it breaks the chain potentially injuring or killing the guy.

Meaningless gestures that change nothing.

 

[scombrid]

Your deflection on behalf of the GOP Pirro et al. is obvious. Davey Hearn is not left nor was he doing anything lefty. You may call yourself a centrist but that behavior doesn’t look very centrist.

If you think "both sides" are the same you are not even remotely a centrist.

Proclaiming that you are still stuck in last century is not the zinger argument you think it is.

Save for the few select individuals willing to voice their completely unreasonable views, aren’t we all centrist or at least claim to be?

Not really. There is no such thing as centrist. It's about as meaningless as the statement "I believe in common sense". Fuck off, I have yet to see anyone campaign on a platform of abject stupidity. Every cunt, myself included, believe in "common sense".

A centrist is someone who is too chickenshit to openly express their implicit biases.

Doug Burgum claims not to understand why anyone is questioning their completely absurd made up excuse.

Nope, not anymore than every atheist is "secretly a Christian".

How are these radical leftist examples relevant to Davey Hearn and the pool and the action of the GOP government?

 

[Tigers!]

Bullshit. How long has Tigers! been posting here?

You could look up my profile.

 

[scombrid]

Rhetorical.

Oh c'mon.
Using -gate as slang for a high level government scandal is an American thing. It's not always obvious to the rest of the world.

It's pretty ubiquitous across the world. He's Australia using it a few years ago;

scenestr - Fitzy's Open Letter To Bunnings About Onion Gate

Outrage continues across the land after Bunnings' decision to place caramelised onion under the snag at their iconic sausage sizzle.

Here's another;

I don't know, maybe Tigers! has been living under a rock the last couple of decades.

I am well aware of its ubiquity.
I do wish people could/would be less lazy.
Use their imagination

 

[crazyfingers]

Sometimes in anticipation of a scandal, people just use -gate from the start!

Agreed but your post;

Why do you yanks always add "-gate" to any controversy?

strongly implies it is a solely "Yank" problem. Personally, I call "Oniongate" the Bunnings Nanny State Bullshit and "Utegate" Abbott's First Real Fuckup but I see the media use something gate all the fucking time. I don't watch Channel 10 but I am certain they are the worst offender in this regard.. Also, Americans have been making the same complaint you just made for over 20 years, FYI.

If these words were people, I would embrace their genocide.

Words I can't stand, and the idiots who use them.

Indeed. That is the laziness.

Nobodygate.

Holy fuck, I think more people turned up at the white power march in Washington.

Which means Trump is *really* losing the support of his base.

Looks like it was closed.
