@mikem4481 I don't know, maybe Kyle has been a lying hack for so long that he forgot how to do actual journalism, you could be right. But I don't think he's stupid, I think he's a liar, and he knows his viewers are stupid. I don't think he genuinely thinks Assange is a fair comparison, this isn't a situation of someone leaking information that otherwise likely wouldn't have gone public, this court decision was always going to go public. It just had to go through the necessary legal process first, without public interference. Which is why this leak is so egregious. I know "dangerous precedent" is a worn out cliche, but that really does apply here, if the left doesn't stand on principle and say that this leak was morally wrong, and dangerous, then they're sending a message that there's a demand for people to leak supreme court decisions that aren't finalized yet. And SCOTUS will eventually just be held hostage by whatever extremist group has the most effective methods of coercion. I don't think leftists have even thought that far into it either, since they have a near monopoly on political violence these days, I don't think they realize that other political factions can use violence too. They just aren't right now, it's only the left.

@c.j.giordano2129 yea I'm with you, I'm pretty libertarian too, although I can't really say I'm full libertarian, I just lean that way on a lot of issues. So I'm generally going to side towards transparency too, I'm just also realistic and understand the need for some things to happen in the shadows. Like we've discussed with court rulings, and military actions too depending on the situation. We definitely don't want to announce what our military is up to for the whole world, that would definitely be valuable information for any potential adversaries. I'm still just leery of going too far on that, for obvious reasons. I just wish more people could be reasonable about these kind of things, and take their political goggles off for a second and think about the implications if the shoe was on the other foot. Because you bet your ass if this was reversed, and it was leaked that the SC was making a ruling that conservatives wouldn't be too happy about, and a bunch of far right nutters were making veiled threats, the entire left side of politics' hair would be on fire warning of the apocalypse. Everyone knows it. They're completely incapable of understanding the other side of things, they don't want to, they don't care about ethics or morality, all they care about is feeling like they're right, and righteous. It's really a scary time, this kind of extremism can't last long without the other side going just as extreme. And the lunatics actually think it's the right that's gone extreme. They don't even know what far right extremism looks like. Ironically, it looks a lot like far left extremism. A lot closer to that than what most of the right in the US looks like right now.

@c.j.giordano2129 and what's completely lost on the left, is that the entire reason Roe is being overturned is because of their extremism, 100%. It was an unconstitutional ruling in the first place, everyone on either side of the issue that has any understanding of the process agrees on that, even most prominent liberals used to agree on that, but we just kinda let it slide, because "safe, legal, and rare" was the understood compromise. Nobody used to like abortion, the left and right just disagreed on whether or not there was some exceptional cases where it would be permissable, and the legality around that, so conservatives just allowed liberals to have their way as long as it was understood that abortion is never supposed to be common and taken lightly. But the left in recent years has blasted right past "pro choice" and become full blown pro abortion, there are leftists celebrating abortion and treating it as though it's some kind of right of passage for all women, that there are no moral implications whatsoever. That's just disgusting. To say they broke the compromise is an understatement, they've completely pissed all over it. It would be equivalent to the right calling for the execution of women who have abortions, that's completely nuts, no sane person would ever back that, and nearly all conservatives would say no, stop it, that's insane. But the left doesn't keep their crazies in check the same way the right does. They cheer on the crazies, because they can use them for political power. Which of course the right could too, anyone could, but conservatives understand that social cohesion is important, and want to maintain that. That's why Roe existed in the first place, and why it's being overturned now, because the left has said loud and clear, ya know what, fuck your social cohesion, we want it our way and we'll do anything to get it, even if it means burning the whole country down.

@c.j.giordano2129 I completely agree, but I've honestly gone a lot further towards the pro life side due to the left's actions and rhetoric. On principle I agree with everything you said about it, it is complicated. On a personal level I think it's disgusting, but I also understand the nuance to it, I understand how sometimes a woman's life is such a wreck that bringing a child into it would just be irresponsible. Which of course you could argue she shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place, which is obviously true. But she is. That doesn't really matter anymore. Now the question is what's the best thing moving forward. But as far as the dishonest thing the left does by throwing out the extremely rare, extreme circumstances like r a p e and incest, well there could be separate laws for that, the same way there are separate laws for killing in self defense. It's a complete nonsense argument. Saying all abortion should be legal because of specific circumstances is as nonsensical as saying all murder should be legal because it could be in self defense. No, if it's self defense, we have trials for that to determine if it's legitimate self defense. The same could be applied for abortion, if someone feels they have a legitimate reason that's outside of just convenience or birth control, then they can take that to court to determine if their claim is legitimate. I know that sounds kind of ridiculous and it is kind of ridiculous, but the left is ridiculous, we have to think about these kind of things when we write laws. Look at how insane they go with all of the trans rights issues and shit like that, it starts by saying someone should be able to use the women's restroom if they identify as a woman, alright, sure, if a female passing man goes in the women's room, I'm sure nobody will even notice. As long as they're just going to the bathroom, who cares anyway? That's reasonable. But these are not reasonable people. Next thing you know, they're saying anyone should be able to use any public restroom. So now women don't have a separate restroom where they don't have to worry about creepo pervs just walking on in, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Sucks it has to be that way, but these people are not fit for civil society. We have to start thinking about that when we write legislation. And I do expect some red states to go a little over the top with abortion restrictions because of that. I don't really like it on principle, but we have to draw a line somewhere and show the left that we're not going to be ruled by a small group of psychopaths. Even if it means turning the wheel a little too far in the other direction. They'll learn eventually. And we can go back to living in some semblance of a sane society.

@c.j.giordano2129 that's the thing with the left though, they take advantage of the nuance of situations and pretend like the exception should dictate the rule. I don't think anyone was trying to claim that people were getting assaulted in bathrooms en masse or anything like that, but that was the claim they seemed to be making. All people are saying is that based on societal norms, if some creepy dude is hanging out by the women's restroom all day, and as soon as a teenage girl walks in, he walks in behind her, someone is definitely going to say "hey weirdo, what are you doing?" And just because everyone knows that, it's not very common for creepy weirdos to do such things in crowded locations. They know someone will say something. If the leftist activists had their way, the creepy weirdo could just say he identifies as a woman and start screaming bigot at you, and all of a sudden you're the bad guy. This is seriously the world they want. It's complete madness.

@c.j.giordano2129 because the cultural swing is just a means to shift the economic platform. There's an alarming amount of people that are all in with socialism, it's really mind blowing. The mainstream economic views in the US used to be "I think we should have lower taxes and a more free market", or "I think we should have more social spending and a more regulated market". Those are both reasonable positions. There's merit to ideas on both sides, and the best answers are usually some combination of both. Now a large portion of the left has broken off from that and gone full socialist. And the right has not done the same, there aren't very many people who want no taxes and no regulation. Because that's nonsense, there are obvious reasons why we need some taxation and some regulation. And I'm probably about as libertarian as you, most of the time I'm gonna lean towards less taxes and less regulations, but that's a foreign language to leftists, they're so extreme in their views that they can't even comprehend a moderate view, no matter how many times you tell them your position on this, their mutated brain automatically changes your words to "I want unregulated capitalism, period", and that's what they're always going to think, no matter how many times you explicitly tell them what you actually think. That's why they think the right is extreme, because they refuse to listen to what anyone on the right says, they just insert a ridiculous position and insist that's your position.
