Congressional panel investigating the origins of Covid finds that the virus originated in a lab .

[daveman]

Guy, the media did nothing but sane-wash Trump for the last 8 years.

Horse. Shit.

You believe the gaslighting aimed at you; you're very gullible.

Normal people ain't buyin' it.

 

[Robert W]

It says the hypothesis of a lab leak is the most credible explanation.

Why don't you believe that hypothesis?

 

[daveman]

I would like to point out that the gain-of-function research on COVID is absolutely illegal by international treaty.

Biological Weapons Convention​

Article I: Prohibition of biological weapons​

Article I is the core of the BWC and requires each state "never in any circumstances to develop, produce, stockpile or otherwise acquire or retain:

1. microbial or other biological agents, or toxins whatever their origin or method of production, of types and in quantities that have no justification for prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes;

If anyone would like to try to make the case otherwise, I'm willing to listen.

I want your proof that the mass media sane washed Trump JoeB131.

 

[Robert W]

I'm not sure you can take away anything about his calling Covid a Hoax in that he wanted his cultists to think it was a hoax.

A lot of Wingut posters STILL think Covid was a hoax. Couldn't imagine where they got that idea from.

Trump never called CV19 a hoax. The media created that myth. We are not cultists JoeB131, we are US citizens. I never believed CV19 is a hoax and of all humans I would have said it is because I know no citizen who died from the virus. I have 2nd hand information from some who say they got CV19 but none apparently suffered much nor for long.

The only hoax I know of comes from Biden pretending he cured the disease when he has got it himself several times. Trump got the vaccines to us all super fast JoeB131 and were it a hoax, he never would have started Warp Speed as a program.

 

[JoeB131]

Every fetus is a human being. This is the consensus of biological science. To claim otherwise is to deny science.

Then why don't you count fetuses on the census?
Why aren't women who have abortions charged with homicide?
Why can't you claim your fetus as a tax deduction?

#StopAsianHate kinda ran out of steam when it was thought that black people were committing most of the violence against Asian-Americans.

Except that wasn't true, most anti-Asian hate crimes were perpetrated by white people.

Like the guy who shot up the massage parlors in Georgia.

Face it. Everything Trump does 'isn't normal': Jonathan Capehart

Donald Trump went on a profane rant about Vice President Kamala Harris at a Pennsylvania rally. But this isn't the first time that he's gone on unhinged rampages on the 2024 campaign trail. Jonathan Capehart cycles through Trump's latest tirades and warns against sanewashing his presidential...

The media is damaging public life by “sanewashing” Donald Trump

Should we avoid reporting reality simply because it isn’t new? Plus: unease at the Observer and the tragic death of Liam Payne.

Sanewashing Trump is like protecting workplace bullies — Worthwhile Consulting

Corporate media sanewashing of Donald Trump minimizes his inflammatory words and bad behavior. Meanwhile, reporting on Harris uses inflating language to present her reasonable behavior as unacceptable. The same distortions show up in the workplace, protecting harassers and bullies and further attack

Now you will tell me that none of this is true and all these sources are biased. But Trump says and does a lot of crazy shit, and the media says, "Well, that's just Trump being Trump!" like this shit is normal or something.

You should talk to your fellow Mormon Cultist, Bob Blaylock. He got on here insisting that Covid-19 was a hoax. So have a lot of other wingnut posters.

Death cultists have made it quite clear they...you're...okay with killing inconvenient human beings.

All states with abortion bans have exceptions of life of the mother.

If someone wants to kill their baby, then so be it, they have to answer for it, not me. Disgusting, depraved people you cannot have a discussion, they have no respect for life.

 

[Robert W]

Sure, here you go.

JoeB131, what you posted is not sane washing, it was an outright attack by MSNBC

JoeB131, you bring that person up. I want your proof by showing his actual posts to all readers. Wingnuts claim that This is all Trumps fault and that China is completely innocent.

JoeB131, can't you tell the difference in opinions that are not presented well enough to call them facts? Take your own announcements. I call them your opinions devoid of facts. Biden was not normal or he would have remained a campaign shit bird. But he had the good sense to surrender and say no mas.

 

[Robert W]

Then why don't you count fetuses on the census?

You were a Fetus yet I don't see you declaring you are not human.

 

[pknopp]

Are you sure you want that standard to be applied to everyone in the Biden Admin?

Why would I care? I don't think they come anywhere close to hiring the best or even pretend they do.

Because the left has promoted the asinine idea that a human being has worth only if it travels six inches down a vagina. Until then, they're worthless and disposable.

An overdue conversation about black-on-Asian violence​

The frequency and brutality of anti-Asian violence have made “Stop Asian Hate” a popular hashtag and protest slogan this year. Still, America has yet to grapple with a core part of the problem: black-on-Asian crime and racism.

Two of the latest possible hate crimes took place in New York City. Early this month, a female black suspect struck a 31-year-old Chinese woman in the head with a hammer in midtown Manhattan. In late April, in East Harlem, a black man viciously attacked 61-year-old Yao Pan Ma as he was collecting used cans and bottles. As Ma fell to the ground, the attacker stomped on his head multiple times.
Tragically, such horrendous crimes have now become commonplace in major urban centers. Notable attacks have occurred in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle. Often, the victims are defenseless, the attacks unprovoked, and the culprits not white.
Political leaders, activists, and the media have widely attributed the rise in hate crimes to former President Donald Trump’s controversial use of the terms “China virus” or “kung flu.” But did Trump really inspire racially motivated violence in heavily Democratic areas and from demographic groups that overwhelmingly opposed him? His accusers have no answer.
History, however, presents inconveniences that cannot be ignored. Before the pandemic and before Trump’s presidency, anti-Asian violence had existed in major urban locales. It looked disturbingly like today’s attacks. Instead of crying racism, local leaders of these deep-blue areas used to bend over backward to deny any possibility of a racial motive. National leaders used to pay no attention.
In 2018, when neither ordinary people nor Trump had heard of the coronavirus, blacks committed more violent crimes against Asians more than any other race, according to national violent crime statistics compiled by the Justice Department. Figures for 2020 are not yet available.
A previous wave of despicable anti-Asian violence in the San Francisco Bay Area is also illuminating. In January 2010, six black male teenagers kicked and beat 83-year-old Huan Chen after he disembarked at a light rail bus stop in San Francisco. They bashed his head to the ground and fled the scene laughing as Chen laid bleeding. He died two months later.
In April of the same year, two black teenagers punched 59-year-old Tian Sheng Yu in downtown Oakland. They also assaulted his son before and afterward. The elder Yu died from his injuries. The criminals later said they just “felt like hitting someone.”
A survey conducted by the San Francisco Police Department in 2008 revealed that 85% of the city’s violent crimes were black-on-Asian, a figure officials in this notoriously liberal city confronted with “squeamishness.”
In response to the horrific attacks of 2010, then-San Francisco Police Chief George Gascon, now district attorney of Los Angeles, insisted that the attacks against Asians were mere “crimes of opportunity,” not instances of racial targeting.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi did not appear to notice and certainly did not blame white supremacists for the crimes taking place in her district, as she did earlier this year. While she, President Joe Biden, and other Democrats have eagerly labeled today’s anti-Asian attacks as manifestations of hate, they see no irony in Democratic politicians’ abject refusal to do the same before Trump’s presidency. Just as in the past, they will not mention the race of today’s nonwhite assailants.
The discomfort with even saying the word “black” makes their “Stop Asian Hate” rhetoric appear utterly phony to many Asian Americans, who are all too familiar with violent assaults from black perpetrators.
Though the crimes are not always inspired by hate, they are often intertwined with a criminal’s version of racial profiling, which targets the victim’s smaller size, poor English skills, likelihood of carrying cash, and reluctance to report crimes to the police.

They also take place in the backdrop of widespread black-on-Asian racial epithets and harassment that mainstream society has ignored or been ignorant of until this pandemic. In my own experience, I have stood next to an elderly Chinese woman in inner-city Oakland as black teenagers crept up behind her to scream their imitation of the Chinese language. The victim was my late grandmother. I have seen a black woman berate an Asian man as a “f***ing Chinese person” on a Greyhound bus traveling between New York and Washington, D.C. The recipient of the verbal abuse was Korean. I have witnessed a young black woman loudly proclaim on a Manhattan-bound No. 7 subway train from Queens: “Man, I f***ing hate Indian people. They smell, too, because I know they don’t wash.” Her targets were a South Asian family in traditional garb, with children in tow.
Almost always, bystanders of all colors, including Asians, look away in silence, but the racism on public display makes it crucial to conduct an inquiry about racial intent in black-on-Asian crimes committed with no profit or other apparent motive.
Too many leaders have refused to engage in such inquiries. Today, America must not only inquire but engage in a long overdue, honest conversation about the prevalence of black crime and the existence of racism among nonwhite Americans. The goal is not to vilify an entire race for the crimes of individuals, nor is it to absolve individuals of other races who commit racist acts. It is to find a pathway to reconciliation and possible solutions for preventing the tragedies that befell Ma, Chen, Yu, and far too many others.

Okay. Just checking.

 

[yidnar]

I just posted a link that says otherwise.

Sorry, man, most of the attacks on Asians are by white rednecks.

I didn't know that white rednecks are running lose in dem run shit holes ..

 

[JoeB131]

JoeB131, what you posted is not sane washing, it was an outright attack by MSNBC

see, you proved my point.

I posted three articles discussing it. But you didn't even have to go that far.

If you actually watched Trump's speeches where he talks about Hannibal Lector or Windmills killing Whales or Haitians eating cats, you'd see how crazy he sounded. But if you watched the MSM, you never saw that shit.

Because the left has promoted the asinine idea that a human being has worth only if it travels six inches down a vagina. Until then, they're worthless and disposable.

Before 22 weeks, if it makes that trip on it's own, it's going to die. Most abortions are performed before 22 weeks. So before 22 weeks, its disposable regardless.

And then theirs this bullshit.

As usual, you miss the point. You can select a few incidents, usually involving a mentally ill person, and say, "Man, those black people sure are attacking Asians a lot".

But if you look at the TOTAL number of attacks on Asians that happened after Trump started engaging in Asian-hate, most of them are from white people.

JoeB131, where you err is in thinking my objective is to refute you. I want you to say things I can agree with. For example, we discussed the tiny woman murdered in DC. Have a heart Joe and we will agree her killer should be put on trial. If he is found to be innocent, I will shut my face.
