  1. And these images were right out there in public for anyone to see. Maybe children in ancient Rome were forced to wear blinders?
  2. Stop making things up. You have offered no proof that the latest survey was biased. The only bias I can see here is yours. And as is usually the case, bias thrives on lack of knowledge. Clearly, you are unacquainted with the actual facts. Here's link to the latest research published in 2021. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2966
  3. No one is denying what's in the photo. It's clearly a montage. And anybody who saw that photo who is visually able and not benighted can clearly see what's what. You would have to work very hard and against common sense to maintain that headline meant that the photo was taken from life. Obviously the montage was created to juxtapose Trump holding a bat with an image of Bragg. You admitted as much when you suggested the motive was to make a joke. What would be funny about it if it wasn't for the fact that the 2 images were juxtaposed? How would it work as a joke if i the bat wasn't next to Bragg in the montage?
  4. Actually, someone from Slate interviewed the school board chair about the dismissal. It's worth reading. He claims the school is offering a classical education. Apparently, the Renaissance is taboo. Now if he means classical as in ancient Rome, there were public pornographic images everywhere in the Roman empire. At least until it had the misfortune to adopt Christianity. Anwyay, here's the link https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/03/florida-principal-fired-michelangelo-david-statue.html Unless you're a member of Slate, you'll have to use incognito or similar mode to access it.
  5. I am sure that you are being willfully disingenuous. Maybe if the photo wasn't in the article you would have a point. But the photo was included in the article. One would have to be either blind or benighted to understand what was meant.
  6. Oh please. I have explained that it's a montage. An obvious too. No attempt is made to fool anyone into thinking it's real. But in the montage the bat is next to Bragg. That's why the image was created. Why does Trump post a montage that shows him holding a bat that in the montage is next to Bragg?
  7. Actually, it's an old figure now and it was 97% of all published climatological research papers that referenced climate change. The updated figure is 99.9%
  8. Some sick joke. But it doesn't explain why Trump reposted it.
  9. Because it is being being reported accurately. Your attempts to portray it as being inaccurate are clearly disingenuous. In the image the bat is next to Bragg. It's one image created from 2 images. It's a montage. And once again, you offer no reason as to why that montage was created. Why would someone post an image of Trump holding a bat juxtaposed with an image of Bragg? And what's more important, why would Trump repost such an image?
  10. Do I think his photo of bragg suggests a target? Any rational person would especially when it's coupled to an alleged public outrage over the investigation and his hate speech directed against investigators. The phrase "HUMAN SCUM" comes to mind.
  11. You clearly have no answer for why a montage was created that consists of an image Trump holding a bat and the bat is next to an image of Bragg. You've consistently avoided addressing that issue.
  12. Because the death and destruction would be directed against his enemies. In your example those enemies would be your wife and child.
  13. But it was still a silly made-up quote. It offers no justification for the fact that he's holding a bat.
  14. If the person posting the photo also blamed your wife's and your child's actions for inciting a riot, then yes.
  15. It's a montage. In the montage the bat is next to Bragg. It doesn't matter that it doesn't reflect reality. Why do you think the montage was created? Why do you think Trump reposted it? Because it proves he didn't hold a bat next to Bragg?
  16. Not "ad hominem" at all. I called your made-up quote silly. And I notice that you haven't offered any defense of it.
  17. Actually, I think the case is worse. He actually believes this nonsense. Maybe one of those supporters Trump claimed wouldn't care if he shot someone on 5th Ave.
  18. That is what the montage shows. Trump holding a bat and the bat is next to Bragg. That's why the images were juxtaposed. Why do you think those images were juxtaposed? In order not to show a bat next to Trump?
  19. You're making a great point. Now if there were lots of other rioters in the building who wouldn't exactly be pleased by the arrest, then your point would be ridiculous. But since Chansley was alone that day, it's clear...oh wait a minute...
  20. You're confused. The montage clearly shows Trump holding a bat next to Bragg. It's irrelevant that it's not real. Do you think that the 2 images in the montage were juxtaposed for some other reason than to show Trump holding a bat next to Bragg?
  21. A picture of Trump holding a bat in a montage next to Bragg isn't suggestive? As for your silly quote, where exactly do you imagine "here" to be?
  22. They had no right to enter the Capitol without permission. And of course, they violently entered the Capitol on the day when the Constitutionally crucial requirement of the electoral vote certification was taking place. In other words, an assault on the Constitution.
  23. Stated ridiculously, you mean. It's a montage. Not meant to represent reality. Why do you think Trump reposted it? Because he's an art lover? Or he's challenging Bragg to a batting contest?
