You mean the policies that he endlessly campaigns for? Dude spends 10 hours a day begging the government to tax him and other rich people and give people healthcare. That's the opposite of a hypocrite.

Not contradictory things

Cool to see one of our own hit the mainstream!

The lesson being that Republicans excuse rape?

They see through the BS attacks. Not a perfect, or even good, guy. By his own admission, he made a lot of mistakes. But he's got a platform that represents normal people, not the rich. You vote for policy, not people. You should understand that. You're a Trump supporter. Dude's a poster boy for infidelity.

Case in point. You don't even know what the image is called. (Neither did I until this. Almost no American would ever be able to identify it).

Serious question: have you ever been in a tattoo shop before?

Not surprised you think this is a smart response. Total non-sequitur. Anti-semitic chatbot? Wtf are you babbling about now?

Right doofus. But he didn't know that when he got it which is 100% believable. He just saw what he thought was a skull and bones on the wall and thought it looked cool. I would bet a million dollars you couldn't have picked the Totenkampf out of a lineup before this either.

Fifield is literally a GOP political operative who organized a group to smear the Brett Kavanaugh accusers. She also used to host a podcast with this woman who said we should nuke "the animals", referring to Palestinians. That's ACTUAL Nazi ideology.

Drunk soldier walks into a tattoo shop with his buddy and gets a skull tattoo off the wall because he thinks it looks badass is literally the most believable story every lmao. Skulls are one of the most popular tattoo images. Hell, half the cops in this country have the punisher skull tattooed on them. Pete Hegseth has a giant Jerusalem Cross tattoo, "Deus Vult", and "Kafir" (infidel) which are extremely popular among modern white nationalists. Even in their historical origin, those are images linked to religiously motivated violence against Muslims. Don't see you concerned citizens digging into those for some reason.... The reason you know Graham Platner isn't an actual Nazi is that the right wing isn't campaigning for him lol.

Yes, it's actually far more common if you don't lose consciousness. It's more commonly a response to head trauma (concussion), not a blood strangulation. I just saw someone go out from an anaconda choke at a jiu jitsu gym last week. The body goes limp. I see evidence that Parris was strangled, but not to unconsciousness and not due to an illegal move.

I went back to watch before I posted. He's actively moving his arm to grab or post on his opponent through the whole sequence. I'm not denying the fencing response or whether he was choked. That's clear. But he also didn't lost consciousness and the choke occurred because of the angle he was trying to fight through the lock, which is on him too. He made a bad mistake and got bailed out imo.

I'm a Parris fan. I'm an Indiana guy. Been watching him since he was a high school freshman. He may have been on his way to going out, but he wasn't out. I've seen people go out in that position. They're actually limp. They're not adjusting their grip to hold on to the leg or trying to push off and bridge off their back.

That's just not true unless you have a totally different definition of "out." He tries to post his arm as he goes over and then uses his arm to try to post on Trumble's body once he's on his back. It's unfortunate, but that's a legal move and he's conscious the whole time. Should have been a pin.

Why did they overturn that pin and exposure? Parris was conscious the whole time. Trumble got screwed.

You're presenting the stigma issue vs. curbing behavior as an either/or. It's both. You can both educate about behavior curbing while also making the world safer for those who fail to do so. And making it safer for them makes it safer for everybody. HIV rates have plummeted because of these advances in medicine. You may have a moral/ideological opposition to that, but we shouldn't be making policy because of individual moral qualms. We should make policy based on what works. Same thing for distributing condoms to teenagers to reduce teenage pregnancy and abortion.

If you actually cared about anything, you'd take 5 minutes to look up why they repealed it. It was a useless law that did not even require the transmission of HIV for charges to be brought which led to abuses of the law (it was impossible for someone with HIV to prove they did not do it). If you know anything about HIV, the main way they're trying to combat it now is to reduce the stigma around it with the aim of encouraging everybody to get tested regularly without overwhelming fear of ruining their lives. Why? Because it is functionally curable now as long as you take medication. Not only can you live a long, healthy life, but once you're on medication, you can no longer spread the virus too. It's one of the greatest medical advancements in human history. We could essentially eradicate HIV in America if regular testing became the norm.

Do you believe in any kind of regulation on counseling services?

Should parents of straight children who want their children to be gay be allowed to send them to conversion therapy?

Natural consequence of politicizing the courts. The right has been appointing "activist" judges for decades. They have an entire organization dedicated to training them. Now you're going to complain because you don't like the taste of your own medicine? I do wonder how conservatives would react if the sexual orientation in the example case was flipped. Does this ruling not also prevent the state stepping in to prevent licensed counselors from attempting to convert straight kids to gay?

Okay, so it sounds like you're supportive of Iran for executing this protestor for killing a cop?

He absolutely deserved due process. Iran's legal system is barbaric compared to ours (even when ours doesn't function properly). I think the point RV is making is that right wingers are being hypocritical. We all know if an American protestor killed a cop you all would be arguing for the death penalty. You all vehemently defended cops killing protestors just a couple months ago. Take this opportunity to reflect on how you've spoken about political protestors in our country. Your critiques of Iran ring hollow because you don't hold your own country to the same standards.

Did you even watch the video? He's more popular among Republicans, not overall. The point of the segment is to show how his endorsement helps in primaries. Your media literacy/reading comprehension is terrifying.
