The other was a motion gif but, ye let's see.
Also I've seen on a youtube show called pawn stars that a playboy no1 with Merlin Monroe sold for a good price.
I think that would be highly collectable and the next issues not so much but I'm not an expert :p
This was a gif but for some reason posted as just an image. Is there something different your suppose to do for a gif???Quote:

Isn't there any kind of logging to find out? Can the moderators just ask each other who did it?Quote:

Can you like do the other one you did?
I'm not sure some mod actually did it so maybe something software related or maybe Peter inserted a blurred one?
It wasn't us. I went back to find the original post, which was by Peter Porter, he edited the post from one source to a different source. Most likely, the first source was unblurred, while the second source was blurred.
I was going to say that I'm not sure that we know how. I certainly don't know how, but seeing that it was Peter, who has some pretty mad graphical skills, it could have been anything. In the new image, he might have been holding baby Yoda, or a mongoose. The only thing I wouldn't expect him to be holding would be the Spanish Inquisition.
Damn, I was hoping for a new bot that manipulate image and motion or even sound.
Well...
It was me, sap. I changed the gif for laughs, just to see if you or Dill would notice.
Sorry if I caused any problems. :o
I'll sleep better tonight knowing the moderators aren't conspiring against honest discussion, despite what others think...Quote:

It's all about avoiding accountability. This is a hallmark of modern progressivism. The sheer brilliance of liberal brainwashing is how they can dress up degeneracy, evil, and irresponsibility as a virtue and it all comes down to how they manipulate language to reframe events. For example, "It's not that I was sexually irresponsible, it's that evil patriarchal men want to control my body".Quote:

As the far left gets more desperate at seeing how small its numbers actually are, maybe we'll see lefty "Waco" scenarios as they retreat into armed compounds. A grittier version of the old hippy communes but overrun with cats and dogs since they don't believe in having or raising children. When they get raided it'll probably be by newly-armed agents of the ASPCA backing up Sheriffs carrying writs against them.
As their parents die off and leave them fortunes maybe they'll cash out in gold and move to a more amenable environment. Say, North Korea.
This assumes that every woman that wants/needs an abortion was sexually irresponsible. Which is complete nonsense.Quote:
It's not that I was sexually irresponsible
This also assumes that an abortion is an irresponsible solution. Also nonsense.
No, it's men and women forcing their beliefs/morals on another person. Of course this is common, that's what laws do and we have a lot of them. The problem is the majority of the US believe abortion should be legal, last poll I saw was at 63%, only 36% against. Another problem is the people that are against abortion base their objections on falsehoods. Like, your killing a child or your just avoiding responsibility.Quote:

What is it that you've been "suppressed" from saying or thinking"?Quote:

Not sure why you think the far left will mimic the far right. There has been no signs of that. The right certainly didn't react to the election results like the right did. To be fair, their reaction was driven by Trump and his ilk. But they were eager to follow, they just needed someone to tell them it was ok.Quote:

If you think the left is wealthier than the right, you'd be wrong. I wish you were right.Quote:

Someday you will understand.
Don't count on that. Once an idea, however twisted, grotesque or idiotic, gets a foothold in the human psyche, there is no shaking it loose. Thankfully, as you've correctly pointed out, this demographic is in the minority and many normal people held captive by their dangerous ideas are finally waking up and breaking away from these people and their ideas. Ana Kasparian is the most prominent recent example of this.Quote:

Yeah, it's the "after" part that's the problem. Somebody also said that hindsight is 20/20, but that's not true, either. Even hindsight is what you want it to be, anymore.

I doubt it's age, but more likely a case of being far out of step with culture. Even pretty old cultural elements at this late date too.
As they dissolve into chaos over there (from here most of the population isn't "up" but "over") such head-flapping shouting matches are more common each day between elites and the people.

What is expected is for the people that are swinging left or right , the sold out sheep idiots, 4th and Madison based show me the money useless retards are to shift from one party to the other based on who is in power and engulf (the party's) it's ideas , at least for 4 years.
That has nothing to do with left or right.
What we might want to see is:
A)Dems will change been WOKE boys so they can win the next elections and then, be WOKE boys again or remove the WOKEness plague on the process
B)People start to realize what was going on and that they have been mesmerized by WOKERs
C)The new administration to implements what they are saying
D)The rabbit hole would realize the 'unreal' stories they are feeding us here for 4 years and thanking us for waking them up (not WOKEING them up)...The latest is the most difficult.
Have a nice weekend and God bless America.
A few days to go now. Hope nothing happens :rolleyes:

I somewhat expect to see some attempted Neo level dodging at the next White House Press Briefing, but I hope not. I hope KJP flat out comes out and says something as simple as, Joe changed his mind over Thanksgiving. Period. Don't try to justify it, or claim he didn't change his mind, or that he never ruled it out completely, etc. Just own it.
Ehhh....that doesn't sound like the way a Democrat or liberal would operate. It's more likely that they will come up with some meaningless word salad to explain it, their base would larp it up as if they were given the word of God while the podcast circuit will use it as content fodder for the next week to entertain the rest of us.Quote:

I'm against pardons.
Should only be used for death row.
Re-trail yes but not pardons.
Me too! I find it bizarre that a President holds this power and it's wide open to corruption.Quote:
I'm against pardons.
Edit> For clarity, I'm not against pardons as such. I just don't understand why the President holds this power arbitrarily. I'm not 100% sure it needs a full blown retrial, depending on the case in question, but it should certainly rest with the Judicial branch not the Executive.
Edit2> Except for turkeys. I'm fine with pardoning them.
The broad concept of governmental authority to provide relief from criminal punishment has deep historical roots. The power vested in the President by the Constitution traces its origins to authority held by the English Crown, leading the Supreme Court to look to legal principles underlying the latter in interpreting the scope of the former. A prerogative of mercy held by the King appeared during the reign of King Ine of Wessex (688–725 A.D.)6 and by 1535 had been declared by Parliament, during the reign of King Henry VIII (1509–1547 A.D.), as a right exclusive to the Crown. Though broad in application, the power as it existed through the colonial period did have legal limits, which grew in number in response to perceived abuses of the King’s authority. For instance, a pardon could not impair certain rights of third parties9 and, by act of Parliament in 1701, pardons could not be pleaded to bar impeachment (though a pardon following sentence was still available).

In the 18th century, George Washington granted the first high-profile federal pardon to leaders of the Whiskey Rebellion on his final day in office.
Trump often bypassed the OPA, and, unlike previous presidents, made the majority of his grants to executive clemency to "well-connected offenders who had not filed petitions with the pardon office or did not meet its requirements." Ultimately, of the 237 grants of clemency by Trump, only 25 came through the Office of ...
That reminded me of a scene on Erik the Viking, if anyone has seen the film when he says to only cut of his hand and the victim is graceful :D
By the way, the pardon is not the point. The point is the Democrats lied as usual.

He has the right. Trump demonstrated that.
Here is a list of Trumps most egregious lies. He averaged around ten lies a day while in office.

I was wondering if US president is allowed to pass any last month laws?
Is this customary a no?
In Greece the departed government usually pass all the traitorial legislations at the very last day of an open parliament so any opposition cannot be raised the next day.
Even if it could be raised after the elections, the other traitorial government that comes in, "ignores" what he was yelling about and go along.
Sorry, I'm not paying to read leftist propaganda. You got one that's not behind a paywall?Quote:
