With all the dumping on Florida, maybe we need a Carolina Man story or two

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I know whatever it is, is ignorant bullshit, but I'd be interested in knowing exactly and specifically this idiot thinks is "dictatorial socialism." Most presidents and presidents* get accused of being "dictatorial" from time to time if they take executive action somebody doesn't' like, but I'd really like one example of the "socialism" part.

OK, but same question - one example of Biden's "socialism."
I don't expect they know what socialism is - I know they're just using the word as a boogyman. I'd just like an example.

I suggest that all these GQP elected officials who quack incessantly about "socialism" stop getting paid their socialist paychecks. As socialist "workers" they surely must hate that money. They should "serve" without compensation and forego their lifetime socialist pensions as well as their socialist medical coverage. Let's see their "personal responsibility" and integrity. It just may be visible under an electron microscope. But I seriously doubt it.

You are neither a right-wing terrorist from NC nor an AL senator, and you are making the fallacy of ascribing reason and a tolerance for anything other than lily white to them. You asked for an example of what they mean by "socialism", not of any real world socialism.

Here's another one - 45SHOLE's Twitter ban. Never mind that the govt had nothing to do with it, that either left or right can censor, and that on a rational planet anti-socialists support business freedom.

In fact, anything that a right-wingnut doesn't like is by definition socialist, regardless of any melanin, ideological or economic nuance. Okay?

Clearly, but it would still be nice for some news people to hold their feet to the fire long enough for them to enunciate something stupid.

Part of their problem seems to be that if the named any US program that could reasonably be considered "socialist', they'd find most citizens - even their own constituents - like it. They're still trying to live in the old "commie' scare.

I found it! Being disgusted with sexual harassment is socialism.

Cuomo adviser says his boss was 'railroaded' by 'the socialist wing of the Democratic Party' and calls the case against him 'media manipulation 101'

;)

I think that demanding an accurate count of nursing home deaths from CV-19 is socialism, too.

There be some crazy shit in SOUTH Carolina:
No charges in shooting of man saved from South Carolina lake

South Carolina officials say they won't file charges against a boater who fatally shot a man that he helped rescue from the water....
:wtf: Yeah, that's right, read on.

Here's a good Carolina story:

Lake Keowee: Police refuse to charge South Carolina man over boat shooting
Officials in the US state of South Carolina say they will not pursue charges against a boater who rescued a drowning man, before shooting him dead.

Nathan Drew Morgan, 29, was shot by an unnamed 74-year old man last Tuesday after being pulled from Lake Keowee.

An autopsy report ruled Morgan had died from a single gunshot to the chest aboard the man's pontoon boat.

But Oconee County Sheriff's department said prosecutors had determined the shooting took place in self-defence.

Sounds crazy at first, but I can see the story being true. Apparently they didn't know each other; the old guy had no reason to be hunting the victim - the victim was apparently somewhat shit-faced; the old guy isn't going to risk getting hurt by "fighting" the victim hand to hand. Sounds plausible to me. A lot more plausible than a lot of other "I wuz skeered" self defence stories I've read.

Like the brave retired swat cop who just got off with murder by saying, "I wuz skeered for his potentially lethal popcorn" self defence.

I agree. I read that story before it was posted here. The guy on the jet ski was crazy. I don't advocate that he be killed but, hell, his own girlfriend threw him back in the water after being pulled out once already by the old guy. To me, that means a lot. I think the whole thing will be just a love story gone bad.....useless, oddball, water punchy

I have both Vileboy2 and Billy.Prick blocked. So I didn't see that either of them posted about this Carolina tragedy. That's why I thought it would be a good addition to this thread, which actually has "Carolina" in the thread title.

So, no, I didn't cut and paste the article from one of those two nothings.

Even more plausible knowing that it took place in SC. :wave:

I disagree. Given that the old guy rescued the young drunk twice, I think it's credible that he was forced to defend himself, his elderly wife and/or the asshole's girlfriend with deadly force.
