Hey, I am sure Tucker Carlson had NOOOOO IDEA, right? Be on the right side of history, people.

The top writer for Tucker Carlson is out at Fox after an account is discovered where he used a fake name to say racist things. Neff worked at Fox News for nearly four years and was Carlson's top writer. Previously, he was a reporter at The Daily Caller, a conservative news outlet that Carlson co-founded. In a recent article in the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, Neff said, "Anything [Carlson is] reading off the teleprompter, the first draft was written by me."

"Would u let a JET BLACK congo n****er do lasik eye surgery on u for 50% off? I wouldn't get LASIK from an Asian for free, so no"

"Black doods staying inside playing Call of Duty is probably one of the biggest factors keeping crime down"

"Honestly given how tired black people always claim to be, maybe the real crisis is their lack of sleep."

"Neff wrote that the only people who care about changing the name of the NFL's Washington Redskins are "white libs and their university-'educated' pets"

On June 16, a user started a separate thread about a video showing a Black man assaulting an elderly white woman in New York. Neff commented on the thread, "And to think, if this guy got killed in some freak incident while being arrested, we'd have to endure at least three funerals in his honor."

On May 27, Neff wrote that Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib — known collectively as "The Squad" — want to "MAKE YOUR COUNTRY A DUMPING GROUND FOR PEOPLE FROM THIRD WORLD ****HOLES."

Elieson.... what is your issue here? We are talking about mandatory masks, right? I kind of got caught up in the food fight and lost sense of what the actual problem is.

You are basically saying you are a dictator if you support mandatory masks wearing during a pandemic against the wishes of the population? Is that it?

I want a fair description of what your problem is.

No, it wasn't about masks, nor is it about any individual situation at all. Steve said that schools should be shut down by the government, and that the preference of American citizens is irrelevant. I objected to that stating that it's totalitarian. Obviously not every political decision will be made by a majority public vote, but I object to anybody ever saying that the public opinion is ever completely irrelevant.
 
Haha. Coolm, you are your own oppressor. Stop being a dumbass and you’ll really be free.

wow, you really are stupid. I thought it was just your politics. you're actually daft. I am sorry. I'll leave you alone from now on.

Ok, got ya.

I think that's probably a reach to say that Steve doesn't care AT ALL about the opinion of the citizens. I think what he is saying is that elected leaders have to do what they think is right for the country, and that decision will certainly consider public opinion, but not simply go along with said public opinion.

In my experience, Steve is very much a "follow the science" kind of guy...

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, opening the schools is going to be a massive decision for this country. Any state, city, town, etc that closes schools is going to have serious problems... For employers, kids, parents, communities, etc. It has serious and far-reaching implications.

I would like to see some plans on how schools would like if they open, ranging from most extreme and down to least intrusive. The issue is going to be federal involvement. They will likely issue guidelines, and then every little district in the country will just kind of do their own thing. Broken Arrow will do something different than Jenks, who will be different than Bixby, who will be different than Owasso, etc.

My first question on this..... CAN the federal govt shut down schools?

Yeah I’m not a “commie” or a “totalitarian.” That was just silly.
 
the same processes that won't let us require simple background checks on gun buyers despite it being supported by 86% of the American public?

The f*ck? They are required except in citizen to citizen transactions, and at gun shows. I'm guessing that is a VERY small percentage of gun sells.

I've bought two guns in the last 7-10 years. Both required a "simple background check."

Absolute left-wing BS is all your entire post was.

Here, let me critique your little ditty there:
1. you admitted that it was happening and only questioned the numbers - which you werent sure of yourself.

2. you only addressed one issue out of seven or 8 and called it all "left-wing BS".

3. if this was a debate round you would have lost in 1AR as I pointed out everything you dropped and what you admitted to.

4. if this was Court you would have lost for the same reasons.

go home and learn more things.
 
any day you actually wish to meet up and compare intelligence then just name the time. your close-mindedness tells me everything I need to know about your supposed "intellect". you bring all your little conservative bullets and what-not and I will easily think and talk circles around you. otherwise you're just a bunch of small-minded, ill-educated, inexperienced bull****.

I doubt the bold part was true before, but I know it's not true AFTER whatever medical event you had a few years back (2012 my PM's say). You've been nothing but an absolute nut-job ever since then. Absolutely off the wall bonkers.

What is the point in listing the cases you worked? Should we all start listing work accomplishments on here? You seem to think you are WAY smarter than you.....all because you are an attorney? That is weird.

1. But that isn't what you said or implied. If you meant specific to those two types of transactions which are small in number already, you'd have said so. Just another dummy left-winger that doesn't like guns.

2. Okay? I have no desire to argue point by point with you. I don't argue with crazy people. And unless my math is off, the number was FIVE, not 7 or 8.

3. It's not a debate. Weird thing to say.

4. It's not court. Weird thing to say.

1. don't pretend like you know a damn thing about me. you dont know anything about me that I havent placed right here. it's pretty obvious you don't know anything about my health history either. everything you said above was not just inaccurate, but wrong. and now that I am telling you as such further spreading it just makes it a bunch of lies.

2. a nut job? about what? because I don't agree with your politics or social views or religious views? do you have any clue how close-minded you sound right now? it actually shames me to think that someone with such a small view of things purports to like OU.

3. the social issues I listed are evidenced in hundreds of cases I have covered (out of thousands). I guess that might be a little hard for you to grasp since I am not listing it as a talking point on Faux "News".

4. you're more than welcome to take mcrt085's place. In his mental state I don't see him making it out of his front yard. If I am so stupid and you're so intelligent then it shouldn't be a problem, right?

see? yet more IGNORANCE. I have been shooting and using guns since I was 6 years old. I even shot bench-rest in the 12-15 light varmint group back in the 70's with the cherry and tiki wood 22-250 my uncle ed jones from newcastle made. Qualified with the 9mm in the navy as well. I have 3 shotguns within 10 feet of me right now. Used them to shoot skeet with Judge Black. I dont hate guns at all. I hate idiots with guns.

Pro tip: it doesn't matter what anybody says about you anonymously over the internet.

so is this the juvenile "are you mad bro" lane or the "I know many things" detour? just label the argument so I can properly signpost and keep track of the lunacy. that would make everything more convenient in today's round. vote negative.

It was exactly what I said.

are you genuinely so close-minded that you cannot see how that may be interpreted many different ways? you need to learn there is a majority of reality outside of this tight little box you've defined for yourself.

Dude. I still have the PM's. You either lied then, or you are lying now. So which is it?
