I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Those who are primarily concerned about the well-being of the poor are likely to discover over time that much of the agenda of the left does not really do much good for the poor, and some of that agenda—environmental extremism, for example—actually makes the poor worse off. https://twitter.com/ThomasSowell/status/1314019231894306818 #Mises

Kamala Harris has clearly never seen this video where Joe Biden promises to destroy millions of energy jobs.
RT so she can’t ignore it anymore!

John MacArthur says in new video, "This is a watershed moment in America ... Open your #church"
Pastor of Grace Community Church John MacArthur posted a new video on his Twitter account calling for the opening of churches. In the video, MacArther says "this is a watershed moment in America."
The #Hickenlooper press release published as an article about the debate with Cory #Gardener was a well written spin piece in the #DenverPost.
I read it in a coffee shop Saturday, watched the debate on Sunday, and it's hard to believe the two are related, except that it quoted (the only quote, perhaps) Hickenlooper's prepared line that Gardener had a Wall of Words full of Untruths and Lies, or some such gobbledygook.
It feels like whenever the American left thinks the pope said something that agrees with their politics, they demand just a moment of theocracy.

You have to give it to Acosta: he is nothing if not consistent.

Love the fact check on opinions about what will happen in the future. They must have time traveling fact checkers now.
US President #DonaldTrump falsely claimed during his first debate with Democratic challenger #JoeBiden that mail-in voting will lead to "fraud like...
Watching claims of Trump 4d chess and also death wishes stream by on the fediverse tonight. 😔
Trump's America.
Owner of online Chinese Christian bookstore sentenced to 7 years imprisonment, government to destroy nearly 13,000 books
Chen Yu, owner of a Chinese Christian bookstore that operates online, has been sentenced by the government to serve seven years in prison and pay a fine of nearly $30,000 for "illegal business operations."
Biden says Trump has never condemned white supremacy ... Here are 20 times he did just that [video]
San Francisco has opened churches, allowing only 1 congregant at a time?!
Perhaps this is part of a move to allow Nancy Pelosi to do anything she wants, all facilities can have one person, no mask, as long as the person's name rhymes with "Pancy Nelosi".
I survived the #debate (can we just call it something else? "multiple candidates on the same stage"?) by calling my insurance company last night in the middle for a more pleasant experience.
Neither candidate did their best, of Trump had gotten out of his own way last night, things would have come across very differently.
I think it's easy to dislike his tone/style and miss all the content. Seemed to happen to the moderator and most viewers.

It's insane how many of the MOST PRIVILEGED people to ever live have managed to convince themselves that they are deeply oppressed.
Opportunity is everywhere. But you can't see it if your own mindset is tuned to the 'victim' channel 24/7. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1311234518163087360 #Zuby

I think Trump lost the opportunity to say he already said he condemned the Neo Nazis and White Supremacists at Charlottesville. Hopefully Biden would reply that didn't happen - and Trump could say to read the transcript.

USA Today fact-checks a satirical article from a satirical website and concludes that it's satire. And they were being completely serious, with a long list of citations and everything, to let us all know that a circuit court did not, in fact, overrule Ginsburg's death.
I don't even know what else to say. Except RIP journalism.

Re @AHart1974 That's retarded.
A sperm or egg alone does not contain full, unique human DNA, and will not ever become a baby, child and eventual adult if uninterrupted.

Re @Ugo_UF Ludicrous argument. By this logic, it's better to kill people than have them endure any potential hardship.

For those in favor of rewriting tax laws so billionaires pay more taxes, which laws would you change? Should they pay taxes even when they lose money? Are there some expenses that should not be treated as expenses? https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1310917904947228674
