Yeah, that's not being charged with a crime or being called a criminal. And he wasn't expelled. In fact, it was one of the best things that ever happened to him. He works in politics now and has 250k twitter followers.

They did their crimes on video. You know "Antifa" members get arrested all the time when they're caught committing crimes, right?

Anarchists are famous for their love of hierarchical organizations lol

That kid was very famously not charged with any crime or called a criminal lol

I agree. No brainer. So why did Trump pardon the January 6ers?

If you're wondering why anybody would have a motive to ignore this well-documented correlation between older fathers and autism, consider this: RFK Jr had 4 kids after the age of 40. Trump had 3 after the age of 38. He was 60 when he had Barron.

Why do you think they voted democrat? Do you know who never votes for democrats? Antifa/Anarchists. There's no way to know for sure in each individual case, but according voter turnout data, the people who did that rioting were among the least likely to vote in the country - male, working class, and black. I think Conservatives think "the left" is way more organized than it is. For the most part, we're a bunch of chickens running around with our heads cut off. The rioters weren't disciplined members of an ideological movement. They were angry people who saw a chance to express their anger without getting caught. Hell, I guarantee a bunch of them voted for Trump. He made nice gains with young black men. The defining characteristic of the general American political ideology is incoherence. People barely understand what they believe, let alone why they believe it.

Same thing with vaccines. Measles is pretty bad for cognitive development!

There are studies linked in this article and more in the articles linked at the bottom. https://www.stepaheadaba.com/blog/do-older-fathers-cause-autism Even this is probably a drop in the bucket compared to increased diagnosis vigilance. Autism has always existed. The first diagnosis was in 1943, but that wasn't the first person in history to have autism. It's a relatively new diagnosis. Over time, the diagnosis criteria have changed and expanded as they've learned more and more about it. Here's another way to look at it. Boys are 3x more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. But it used to be 4x more likely. Is autism more prevalent in girls now than before? No. The diagnosis criteria have expanded as researches have learned more about how autism presents in girls. There's no blood or genetic test for autism. It's a diagnosis based on behavior, which is inherently subjective, and there's a huge scale of severity. Today, a lot of people with extremely mild autism are getting diagnosed. A lot of what previously was understood as awkward or weird is now being labelled autism. One of my childhood friends just got diagnosed with Asperger's at 30 years old. He didn't just acquire it. He always had it. But it's been really helpful for him as he learns to navigate some of the social struggles he's always had.

Yes (and very, very young mothers), but with a much lower correlation than older fathers.

The real danger here is that pregnant women afraid of autism will either: 1) take ibuprofen or aspirin instead - which are already demonstrated scientifically to be unsafe or 2) Not treat fevers or headaches at all, which can also be dangerous for the baby (particularly the fever part). This reminds me a little about the concern about Myocarditis and the Covid vaccine. Yes, there seems to be an increased risk in those who were vaccinated. But those same studies also showed that the risk of Myocarditis from the vaccine was way lower than the risk of Myocarditis from actually getting Covid, especially severe cases of Covid which are much more prevalent in unvaccinated people. If you were actually concerned about Myocarditis and you understand risk assessment, getting the vaccine was clearly the best way to avoid it. But we have a media ecosystem (and a generally ignorant public) that doesn't explain these things.

Awfully convenient that none of these guys obsessed with autism and vaccines ever acknowledge the most strongly correlated risk factor (besides family history) for autism we've found - older fathers. The risk of autism escalates dramatically if the father is older than 40. It doubles if the father is older than 50. People don't like these obvious answers because there isn't an easy solution. The 'increase' in cases of autism we've seen is almost entirely accounted for by increased vigilance in diagnosis and society steadily having children at later ages.

McCarthy essentially says that Homan will be fine because he didn't end up having the important cabinet position he claimed he was going to when he was soliciting these bribes. Still, Trump should immediately cut him out and condemn him. That's a pretty big litmus test. If Trump actually cares about rooting out corruption, a guy who was openly attempting to commit corruption should not be tolerated. Very easy opportunity for him to show the liberals he's serious. What will you do if he doesn't address it?

They were undercover as business men. Homan was offering insider connections for contracts in exchange for cash (allegedly). Standard corruption. It's exactly the kind of operation that Trump implicitly ran on when he promised to clean out the swamp. Unfortunately, his administration seems to throw the fish back if it has an R next to it.

Can one of our conservatives defend Homan's actions - accepting a bribe on tape - or are you going to deflect? Isn't Trump supposed to be draining the swamp? This looks pretty swampy. @JimmySpeaks @Bigbrog @Scouts Honor @Caveira

I look forward to the government threatening Fox News considering they've admitted in a court of law that they knowingly lied to viewers and have explicitly argued that they aren't a strictly a "news" organization - which would exclude them from the protections the FCC chair is specifically citing to go after The View.

@JimmySpeaks is this what the "free market" looks like?

It’s amazing how openly people state they have no principles without realizing it.

You’re gonna pull a hammy goose stepping this hard

lol they were literally threatened by Trump’s FCC.

Such a bizarre fixation on people different from you when the guy who *actually* did it (probably) looks a lot like you - white, Christian, non-college educated male studying to be an electrician. And there's that conservative fantasy of political violence again.

It's also wrong. It's a code from the video game Helldivers 2. You press the arrows in succession to drop the biggest bomb in the game. This has been well-established by now.

Poor little Jimmy foiled by reality once again

Cite* Yes you did. This is the article that reported the friend quote. They have retracted it. You now have no evidence that “his friend said he’s a leftist.”
