Anyone know if this is true?

I don’t know if its appropriate to say he “fantasised about killing another human” by writing a fictional account. By what information are you making the decision that this was a fantasy?

Between that, and the other crazy shit that came out in his "work", about his ass and balls... regardless of anything, if held to the same standards that democrats hold to anyone on the right found to have said anything offensive, decades ago, end up paying the price.

Disqualifying as prez as you said? No, it cant. But it can surely show the people his history and character, and if me of course, as I played that ad I would also remind folks of the Democrat standards they themselves apply. Sure wouldn't want any of them to be hypocrites!

And do you think those standards should be applied?

No. I don't believe so. Not unless it's something criminal or SO bad that anyone in their right mind would fire such a person for whatever accusation, decades later. I can't think of many things. And it sure as hell oughta come with some serious facts to back things up.

Someone using the N word 2-3 decades ago? Who cares. Someone who smoked weed years ago? Who cares. Even if just words of a horrid nature... first context... and then what's been up since those few decades! If someone used the N word, but has never been racist since, who cares?

So no, I don't care that he wrote this weird shit years ago. And hell, even a few on the left are saying "its laughable or insane that they want to bring up stuff from so long ago..." - but that's in the face of the left doing it so many times to people on the right.

I say who cares to a lot of that old shit, and I think the people out there that actively try to get others fired for similar type stuff, are assholes.

And like I said yesterday too... each individual case.

Noir, I'm probably uniquely situation on this board in that although I agreed with quite a bit of Trump's campaign when he was running for office I did not vote for him because I feel ike the US deserves a better PERSON as President. I don't believe a thrice divorced adulterer who calls people names and can't control himself on Twitter should be President, so I feel fully okay in saying that my principles stand Beto O Rourke has zero business being in politics.

And I've about had it with this "we must hold the other side to a higher standard" regardless of who is doing it

If only our last USSC nominee was given such consideration by the left.

You would think that average people who are liberals but sane would be speaking out about this bullshit, but they aren't. Look at Noir as an example of that, he's pretty sane by what we see on this board, but he sure won't speak out about the blatant hypocrisy will he.

[LongTermGuy]

He wrote a fictional story when he was 15, that should disqualify him from the presidency.

And Democrats were so Vile / Nasty at the hearings of>>>.....Brett Kavanaugh when he drank some beer in high school (never talked about killing people)...Liberalism truly is a cancer of lies and deceit...

No, from his history here, the chances are slim to none.

Pete might, if he were around.

I know that Dems salivate over killing babies. I didn’t know it had extended to children, too.

Liberalism truly is a mental disorder
