US continues to go backward...

Were you equally up in arms over the raid on Mar-A-Lago?
What about Biden's garage?

No. The government asked multiple times for Trump tomorrow return documents. If he would have done that there wouldn't have been an issue.

With Biden it began with his attorneys notifying the FBI that they found documents that were likely misplaced. The FBI searches of his properties were less raids and more just making sure nothing else was misplaced. With him there didn't seem to be intent so it wasn't very concerning.

So was I up in arms over the government taking back classified documents they had requested be returned only to be ignored or searching residences where documents were voluntarily returned and the government wanted to make sure they got everything? I don't see either of those instances as government overreach.

Of course you don't. That wouldn't be convenient to your side.

The attempts at generating a false equivalency between the Biden administration and the Trump (particularly the second) administration are laughable.

True.

I didn't say what you apparently think I said.

You've been one of those trying to generate that false equivalency.

Okay.

Which is the greater threat? Which is worse? Since there is no equivalency as you say.

How about just answer the question.

If the FBI has probable cause and got a search warrant signed by a judge to look for classified documents, I’m perfectly fine with it.

Just like I was when the FBI had probable cause that Trump had classified documents, got a search warrant signed by a judge and raided his home.

You know….due process and stuff.

Now how about you just give a straight succinct answer to my question like I did yours.

The greatest threat is/was the persecution of a political opponent for political gain....

Dodge, dodge, dodge.

We all know what we were talking about regarding the false equivalency.

I respected you enough to directly and fully answer your question.

How about you do the same.

 

[cowboyinexile]

Of course you don't. That wouldn't be convenient to your side.

Its not about convenience or sides or any of that. Its about what happened.

At this point if you still think of this as one side versus the other, nothing will convince you otherwise. Just remember that whenever something happens that makes you take a step back and think wow that's not I thought, we all warned you.

 

[CowboyJD]

I answered your question. You just didn’t get the answer you expected/wanted.

C’mon @Rob B. Don’t want to you answer my question?

Of course you don't. That wouldn't be convenient to your side.

Violation of public records act


The Department of Homeland Security rebuffed a request for public records related to the National Guard deployment in Los Angeles this summer, saying that the agency had not maintained text message data among top officials since early April, according to its communications with a nonprofit watchdog group.

What's the deal with maga dunking on Cracker Barrel for changing their logo?

I know they get weird about logo stuff but that doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Companies change their logo all the time.

They’re also remodeling/modernizing the restaurant I guess they don’t like them getting rid of the old timey pre-segregation era south vibes. They seem to be on the same kick over it as when Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben were eliminated or made less slavehand appearing.

It’s definitely weird.

So they got rid of the cracker and white people are upset?


Yeah I need to get offended more often because I probably wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't pointed out multiple times by people who are never going there again.

Harkening back to days of our youth when Proctor & Gamble were rumored to be devil worshipers bc their logo had a goat or pentagram, the original logo had an urban myth that it was racist bc of the term “cracker” (the person doing the whipping on plantations) and an actual whip.

As already posted the new CEO is doing store remodels and also brand reimagining by removing the whip.

Apparently white racists don’t like it when their offensive culture gets changed to be less offensive.

Also, they are idiots who look to be offended by anything and everything. They are up in arms about the Cracker Barrel logo but couldn't give two craps about people being kidnapped and sent to internment camps.

As a ranting, irrational white person, Alex Jones, said Cracker Barrel is turning the inside into a sterile, laboratory setting, like going to the proctologist. They will take down the moose heads to be against hunting and serve up fake meat.

I didn’t think it was possible but we finally have another senior elected official that tweets as much stupid misleading crap as Trump. Newsom is a buffoon and the fact that some are apparently lapping up his stupidity shows that those on the extremes of the party are dumb. We now have a bunch of brainwashed Trump idiots and Newsom dolts.

Since Newsom has been Governor, the Texas GDP has grown 6% over the last 5 years and California just over 1.5%. He should not try to come his states economic growth to Texas.
Newsom provides a meaningless statement about individual and corporate tax payer information to try to mislead those easily manipulated (he is just like Trump).

I know this doesn’t fit the agenda for this thread, but here is are some marketing takes on the Cracker Barrel logo change. Don’t see anything in the write-up about “crackers, whips, or slavery”. Plus, it is from CBS news, so that should carry some weight. Pretty liberal source.

Cracker Barrel refreshed its logo and paid the price. Here's what brand experts say went wrong.

Cracker Barrel badly misread its own customer base — and our culturally sensitive times — in trying to spruce up its image, experts say.

Can you show us a post where you complain about Trump’s misleading crap like this post?

I think its proof people are sheep. I wish we could do a forensic dive into what accounts started the outcry against their new logo and how it gained traction. I think stuff like this starts with a couple of nut jobs and then you see people who have a solid following and love getting people angry over something get involved and then it just blows up.
