I love “inside information” ad hominem attacks. They are always so productive.



When you don’t have a viable point and cowardice is the only solution, Ad Hominem attacks is always there to waste time and hope people forget.
When you can't take a joke about how the "insider info" is only from twitter...

Listen man this is exactly the sort of behavior that everyone keeps complaining about. You just admitted yourself earlier on the page that you’re not particularly connected. Since we’re doing appearances though, you’ve got a Tommy Shelby profile pic which automatically puts you in the upper percentiles of biggest dorks on the internet, right wrong or indifferent.

says a guy with a profile pic of a dude with long hair and a visor with a sleeveless shirt...my goodness this board sometimes.

Glad to see this thread has resulted in name calling. It just needs to be moved to the off topic/political thread at this point

Nick, brother, his picture is of Chad Morris 😂

Also just want to point out that Marlowe and I were bantering back and forth and he looked me up online to insult me first. Feel like that goes against the poster's code

I know who it is...doesn't make it any better.

And yes that does go against poster code...but in the transition Chris lost moderators and I know longer have the ability to delete stuff or move stuff. I would move this and delete that post for the record

I appreciate that. Being 100% sincere here. I work for an org that helps kids with cancer so I'd appreciate my personal info not being plastered everywhere

Why the Ad Hominem cycle is SOOOOO OVER.
Watched Rogan/Dave Smith from yesterday. Great segment on Smith/Douglas Murray redux and Ben Shapiro.

My bias is the unadulterated truth even when it hurts me directly. It’s the most valued resource in order to make the best informed decisions. MEDIA could get away with lying when the access to information and segment shutdown were king. It’s just that simple.

During the previous Rogan appearance, Murray is sharp but spends all his time attacking Smith. A complete waste of time and stall tactic. It was like watching Biden debating Trump. You could literally count the credibility points dropping in real time. Murray could no longer hide behind the media filters that gave him the protections. Same with Joe.
I had respect for Murray to that point even though he was a snarky story teller but he had a case most of the time. And then it melted all away and so did he.

Ben Shapiro - another smart guy. Enjoyed his positions even though I didn’t agree. He used to debate anyone, anywhere. He only pontificates now. He won’t take the debate stage.
In some way, I respect him. He knows. He knows it can only damage his brand further. In steps Mark Levin and Laura Loomers to fill space along with some bizarro zealots.

These subtle changes of Murray and Shapiro appearances and media behavior tell a lot.
Meanwhile, those still ad homineming are simply out of truth bullets. Media is healing itself through debate. And in some cases, no debating at all.

If true after a month of bombing, it does not bode well for removing Iran‘s missle capabilities without significant boots on the ground.

Not sure if Reuters and this reporter ran it but I saw an article about how Iran is able to dig out their buried missile launch sites within 48-72 hours of a strike.

On our end we have apparently fired off close to 25% of the Navy's entire tomahawk missile stockpile

That’s Chad Morris photoshopped to look like Steve Lemme’s character in Super Troopers, but yeah, really got me there, Nick! How much have you contributed to this thread again? Or is every post of yours here just chiming in to wag your finger about other people not contributing positively?

Need to get my eyes checked. Read that as Starship Troopers. I was like "Who the FU<K was Steve Lemme in Starship Troopers?" Figured it out on the fourth read through.

12 service members hurt in an Iranian attack on an air base in Saudi Arabia. A bunch of air craft damaged too including refueling aircraft and an E-3 Sentry AWACS. The E-3 costs ~$300m but it isn’t made anymore. The replacement, the E-7, costs ~$700m
