My knee is the smartest part of my body and it is a very quick thinker. It seems to "jerk" from your slower frame of reference but its reactions are well-considered.
And wrong, in this instance.
Duly noted that the Truth is that people thinking Gates is a child murdering anti-christ is Common, with the proof being what Phibes saw on Facebook.

I'm just talking about my own experience. YMMV. If you live in California, "The
CraziestHappiest Place on Earth (TM)", it probably will.I'm not really a big believer in Truth.

One is based on an incomplete or biased interpretation of Trump’s idiotic comments.
The other one is based on... nothing at all...
They are both equally idiotic but look at your rationalization. One is okay and the other isn’t. Sure.

@Loki i guess my definition of “ok” is interpreting things with incomplete info or bias.
And my definition of not okay is stupid is stupid. You tolerate and advance stupidity one way and you can expect it to come back and proliferate in other ways. I am simply saying those appalled by the stupidity of the Gates thing should study their own possible contribution to the advancement of stupidity in society.

Tu quoque is a tired and unsound internet argument. Always has been.

That’s fine. So we are to be alarmed at a fringe Gates conspiracy theory but take seriously that injecting with bleach is what was meant and rational people might do I’ll just put in the hilarious bucket.

And again, terrible false equivalence. Trump actually said his thing. We can argue what he meant but only after we acknowledge that you're saying misinterpretation and just completely making shit up are identical.

NYT: "Bill Gates Is the Most Interesting Man in the World"
Cue another Twitter rant about the failing NYT

You realize that if Democrats had their way, Gates would have had 90+% of his wealth taxed away and it would have been used to upgrade Obamaphones to iPhone 11s...

40% of Republicans and half of Fox News viewers believe this shit? Seems exaggerated, if the number were that high we would have seen some of the usual suspects here at least flirting with the idea.
But still, fucking hell.
