I will just say:

  • It would be ironic that there is nobody screaming about defederation over this. Of course I must be charitable and note that these are not exactly super mainstream posts it seems... But also I am not going to click around and consume this material. I don't want to accidentally click on some stuff and scar my brain (the first post I clicked on had a LINK to somewhere that I AM NOT CLICKING).

  • I think everyone has a right to free speech and so if they want to make these insane arguments... Let them. I am not going to say we need to give a platform to them or anything, but I am a free speech extremist. I don't think people doing creepy or bad philosophy should be banned.

Yes, once the Kangaroo court does its damage in the middle of the most important election in the world, he's free to point out how silly it is.

"Stay still while we pin you down during the race - you will be free to complain about this once the race is done. After all, there won't be another one for years."

So they say it's actually about not contaminating the jury pool through making these statements.

Of course I would never endorse some scenario where Trump is literally cornering witnesses and threatening them or trying to meddle... That would be bizarre.

This is about curtailing the speech of someone during their own electoral campaign.

Nobody is suggesting that the trial doesn't go forward and is nullified...

The suggestion is that they get to speak freely about the trial as it goes forward and don't have their speech limited.

Also what do you think of the novel legal theories being employed against Trump in these particular charges?

This is honestly very amazing. Very based.

Just was thinking about how much I like Ramaswamy and now DeSantis is showing off again.

I set up one to do a specific comment regarding exploding heads. I thought of doing further comments but it came off as a waste of time.

He's going to read my internet posting history and it's going to be a doozy.

Even if Trump is too old to be president, and even if Trump were to look and act like Biden, this is still an incredibly controversial decision as it absolutely interferes with an election.

You just got to keep pointing out to everyone that Europeans have no idea how to do democracy.

Which is why they are committing suicide before our eyes... They are stupid in the Dietrich Bonhoeffer sense of the word, and have no inclination to live because the world is a dark place through the foggy window of their soul.

This is honestly a game changer.

 

@admin@exploding-heads.com -- I think it would be a good idea to begin stylizing a lot of the major country communities with icons (I propose just using the 'flag' icon) and background images.

For instance, I just made the Niger community, and previously made the Panama, Greece, and Malaysia communities, all faithfully with a flag and background image of an iconic site or scenic picture from the country.

Yet, there are some major communities like this that I use frequently that do not have any such icons or background images, like:

India Italy China Japan Russia Ukraine

etc. etc.

My proposal is quite simple: just start throwing up icons & background images for these places yourself, Kapow or local moderators...

Or give me the authority to do so.

I am a high volume user and one of my main interests is in archiving and cataloguing news and major events, and so I can really tell you that I will commit zero site vandalism and only wish to have our site prettier and more enticing.

I also won't object in the least when I am removed from the mod position after adding flag/image to places.

... Let me also say: I am preapred to do this for all 50 states and other communities..!

Would also love to see others participate.

Here is another way we could do it:

Allow anyone to go to these communities and submit a thread called "Proposed Icon & Background" or "Proposed Icon," "Proposed Background" (putting them separately).... and then you can just work yuor way around to adjusting them.

Either way, I think it would be good for the site.
