Sure. You run with the theory that Trump doesn’t give a shit about his own handicapped supporters. We definitely need to lend credence to the allegation that we’re all just a bunch of bigots. It’s worked out well for us so far.

Because captions are done by transcriptionists. Transcription takes time, which requires the transcriptionists to be working in "lag" to copy what they remember someone saying while that person is already three sentences ahead.

Signing is done real-time and is IMMENSELY faster. Which is why people use sign and not just use transcribing machines.

Just stop. You are talking about something you know absolutely nothing about and are criticizing a handicap accommodation for fellow pedes because you think it looks silly. Fuck off.

I don't think you're going to be a martyr unless you're a public figure. You'll just lose your job and become one of the many who got cancelled.

There will be other times and places to win fights, but not if you're destitute. Pick your battles.

The Senate support for the objections evaporated after Jan 6th. McConnell seems to be all-in on conviction, and he is very effective at whipping votes in the Republican party. I think he knows if Trump has the opportunity to run again, it'll split the party, which is the last thing McConnell wants.

I'd be willing to put money on them convicting Trump if winning a bet against POTUS didn't make me feel like a cuck.

Not saying that big tech isn't a problem. They just aren't the reason we had to move to this site. That was solely due to a mod sabotaging the last site.

Sorry, I don't like this whatsoever. Our deaf pedes deserve to enjoy the live energy as closely as they can to when it's happening, and don't deserve to be ignored just because you're too much of a child to handle it.

3/4ths of this list is based on misinformation and misunderstandings, and asking these questions would make us look like fools without weeding that stuff out first.

1) Biden didn't get a plane because the Trump administration didn't give it to him, and as a private citizen, he didn't have the right to demand one yet.

2) I don't know about the song, and I'd be interested in hearing more, but unless it's in the Constitution, breaking tradition doesn't invalidate the inauguration. It's a ceremony. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't matter if he had been inaugurated to W.A.P.

3) Biden did get a 21 gun salute when he went to Arlington.

4) I don't know about the hand thing, but again, I don't think it's going to present a serious basis for a legal challenge to his inauguration.

5) I don't know about Spain, but I would be EXTREMELY careful about relying on the goings-on of foreign media companies in different time zones as "proof" of anything at all. We've been burned on that before.

6) It is not illegal or unconstitutional for the VP to be sworn in first. Did you not watch Trump's inauguration? Pence was sworn in first. Since the transfer of power doesn't occur until exactly noon, the VP and POTUS both take power at exactly the moment when the previous admin loses power, at noon. The VP doesn't get take power before POTUS just because they were sworn in first.

7) I have seen the video of soldiers "turning their backs", but I've seen the same thing with Trump's motorcade as well. Those guys are "security", which means they face out from the road to watch for "threats." If you watch videos of Trump's motorcade, you can see the same thing. It's not an absolute requirement for security details to salute, the same way that enlisted soldiers don't salute officers in combat zones (or even wear visible rank, usually).

8) Biden not "seeming" to have the nuke codes doesn't mean anything. The football is not really designed to be visible. Just nearby. Trump had his in Florida because he was still President for an hour when he left for Florida and still had authorization to use nukes. Those codes were no longer valid at noon on the 20th.

9) There is no source of the Pentagon CURRENTLY blocking Biden. They were blocking Biden before he was inaugurated. All the stories currently floating around are talking about the Pentagon ignoring the transition teams. They're old news. There is no more transition team, nor any info suggesting the Pentagon has locked out Biden as POTUS.

I'm sorry to be THAT GUY, but the amount of misinformation that has been floating around here is a big reason why we keep hitting dead ends. We can't be chasing bullshit like this. Biden's election is not going to be overturned because his hand left the Bible a little too quickly or some other minute technicality.

...they didn't make do. That's why they sued.

And it is 100% false that live-captioning is more accurate. Again, that's why they sued, if you'd bother to read the lawsuit.

And I don't think pedes should be deprived of watching Trump live just because they can't hear. What's wrong with you? Of COURSE they're entitled to experience GEOTUS live.

If the person isn't government, it's not a 1A issue, so you'd have to look at civil stuff.

Slander and libel are remarkably hard to prove, but you can try to go that route if you think you can prove that their words crossed into that territory. That is going to depend on the exact language they used.

Otherwise, get off social media. I'm not sure why that's not common sense at this point.

Because they have to be. Once the House formally notifies the Senate of the impeachment, the Senate is REQUIRED to hold a trial six days a week starting at 1PM until a conviction or acquittal is formally made.

So basically, they don't have a choice. The impeachment by the House forces the issue.

However, the murmurings are suggesting that the Senate will try to do its normal business in the mornings, and the impeachment stuff in the afternoons as required.

Oh, that stung. You got me. I can't recover from that. FUCK, how did I fall into such a trap? You win. I can't compete with the architectural complexity of your psychological infrastructure. I am overwhelmed. Beaten! DEFEATED!

I will get you next time, TwistedSister, you silver-tongued raconteur, you. YOU WILL KNOW THE WRATH OF BASTIONCITY!

Dude, "hoes." "Ho's" is possessive and implies there is something that belongs to the ho. It's incredibly difficult to understand you when you mess shit like this up.

Cool. We'll see if maybe this is a slow-burn kind of victory you're going to reveal here. Maybe it's YOU that are the 5D chess master, and YOU that are looking weak when you're actually strong.

I suppose we'll see.

Uh... this is awkward, but in September of 2020, a federal judge ruled that Trump needed to provide sign language interpreters at his press conferences for COVID 19. Not sure if I can directly link a source, but you can find it pretty easily.

So clearly it WAS necessary for Trump to use these "goofy sign language people." He just wasn't.

Sorry, you think that people taking part in a secret military takeover of the government would wear a fucking badge advertising their part in it, even though they try to then HIDE those badges so that nobody knows what they're doing?

"Hey, why are you wearing that sign that you're a reptilian overlord? Are you a reptilian overlord?"

"What, this sign? Oh, this sign that says I'm a reptilian overlord is nothing. It's under my coat now. You have no idea."

Please think before you post.

You're getting vague again. Clapping back is about specifics.

But I'm not going to walk you through how to properly do this anymore. Please don't delete this thread.

Because they want to watch it live, and people typing captions live tends to be slower and less accurate than sign translators?

I can't imagine getting offended over someone using accommodations because they can't fucking hear. Being deaf isn't a leftist-only trait. There are plenty of pedes who use sign language.

Are you also offended when people need glasses to read, because they look "goofy"? Grow the fuck up.

Big tech isn't responsible for the most recent move. That was due to a rogue insider.

Clap back harder, please. I'm starting to feel like this is one-sided and it's making me feel bad.

Well... only you, unfortunately.

But I am going to remain hopeful that the man I produced when I fucked that whore a few decades ago isn't a coward and will actually tell me what his fucking plan is before his genitals flip completely inside out.

We ran out of space in that comment thread!

And you're still on your lonesome.

Sorry, I can't take your orders if nobody else will, because that generally means I'd be following a moron. But if it helps you get an erection to call them out, I wouldn't dare stand in the way. By all means, tickle your pecker to this. We all have our kinks.

The guidance isn't obsolete. It would be obsolete if it happened BEFORE Jan 6th.

Trump knew if he called off the Capitol Storm that he wasn't going to be President again. He did it anyway. The situation hasn't changed since he released those videos.

Couldn't give a shit what Rudy thinks. The dude hasn't been correct about anything in three months. He can join Powell and Wood in the list of lawyers who took our money and did fucking nothing to save Trump with it. Grifters and nothing more.
