Moral Legitimacy Cannot Be Built on the Unauthorized Use of Another Person’s Pain, do you understand @TimBallard ?

Her Name Is Delia: A Story of Suffering Appropriation and Human Trophyism

Men like Tim Ballard say compelling things like, “God’s children are not for sale.” It is the kind of line designed to sound like scripture and function like armor. But moral certainty is not evidence...

@absoluthunny Just a 3.1 magnitude.

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

@absoluthunny Yes. There was an alert ⚠️ on Google.

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

@VegasKnight2017 Indeed.

@saturnfall02 @ProfitablePlay @AmanitaFugax @KatieMiller @LadyoftheLakefr @TheDemocrats That's why his name is "Pedophile Plays". He's giving us the play by play, justifying Ken Paxton of all people.

The worst thing they could dig up on Talarico was lying calling him "vegan" and claiming he eats Tofu. Next they will claim he listens to Prince.

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

@ProfitablePlay @AmanitaFugax @KatieMiller @LadyoftheLakefr @TheDemocrats Ah "Pedophile Plays", thanks for that play by play and justification for being "tough on crime" there buddy.

That's why you take it to trial. Trials are made to be won and lost.

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.

Dr. Laura Robinson examines the allegations made by “Sascha” Barros Riley, reviewing timelines, witness accounts, the missing corroboration, shifting narratives, and the questions that remain unanswered.

The facts didn't change. The language did.

In 1993, exploited minors were labeled "teen hookers." Today we'd call many trafficking victims.

The Thomas Hildebrand case shows how America changed the way it sees exploitation.

That's because Rush Limbaugh tied the concept of democracy to minority voting power and multiculturalism for decades. An uneducated buffoon who failed to live up to his father and grandfather's namesake.

Remember it is all about coding their racism and efforts to attack minorities in jargon. Republic means white supremacy and democracy means black and brown people. He self identifies as a Heinlein Republican, but actually argues against Heinlein principles solely invented by his fandom.

Imagine, someone who is not a lawyer, historian and who could barely comprehend basic literary concepts becoming the voice for the "poor white man."

They think crime is always at historic highs, when it is really at historic lows. They think illegal immigrants commit all the crime, when in reality, migrants commit less crime than even police officers.

They rail against multiculturalism, when America had before it's founding four states that didn't even have majority English speakers and was made up of English, Scots-Irish, Scottish, Irish, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, African (including Akan, Igbo, Yoruba, and Kongo peoples), Swedish, Finnish, and Native American nations (Cherokee, Haudenosaunee, Creek, Choctaw, Shawnee, and many others).

This is all about coding the racism in jargon and Orwellian tactics. Lee Atwater gave away the game. Instead of saying the N-word, they say Affirmative Action. Or nowadays, DEI or Civil Rights. Democracy means black and brown getting appropriate and equal voting power, so we are a Republic. They ignore the common and legal definition when it's right in front of their face.

@GoodwoodAlpha @gbfromoc @NotSwagy @mehdirhasan "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy."

and probably the most quoted line from a speech in American history-

"Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

- Abraham Lincoln

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

Now you're making things up and failed at history. John Quincy Adams famously called the United States a "democracy". As did did Ben Franklin. Andrew Jackson ran on the slogan of "American Democracy".

Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, etc.

Why? This is not a new concept Sean. Because democracy simply means that the people of a country vote for their laws and policies directly (direct democracy) or vote for their Representatives who do, and vote for the head of the government (representative democracy).

In reality, the entire "Republic" argument began with Rush Limbaugh, an uneducated buffoon, somehow attempted to argue that "we are not a democracy, that is just liberals trying to shove multiculturalism down your throats". Except he called the United States a democracy in his CBS interview.

As long as there are free and fair elections, we vote in our representatives and President, we are living in a democracy that is a Constitutional Republic government.

Democracy covers several types of government. Our type of government, is a Constitutional Republic.

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

Thank you for clarifying the matter. Now we know what the right is really angry about.

We began with a dispute over forms of government and you couldn't contain your rage any longer and concluded with a complaint about "multiculturalism." Code word "we know what you mean".

That saves everyone time.

The disagreement was never about political science.

It was about who gets counted among "the people." Let me guess, people who are black and brown?

It will probably hurts your feelings and enrage your further, that America was just as multicultural then (if not more by population) as it was today. Half the United States was Mexico. Four states the main language wasn't even English.

At the nations founding, there was the English, Scots-Irish, Scottish, Irish, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, African (including Akan, Igbo, Yoruba, and Kongo peoples), Swedish, Finnish, and Native American nations (Cherokee, Haudenosaunee, Creek, Choctaw, Shawnee, and many others).

The real issue is that you don't want people with black and brown skin to vote or be in this country, because you're insecure about a "culture" you never really had. Your family came here 100 years ago and you think you're entitled to calling it "your culture", when most have been here longer than your family.

Sitting in your deceased mother's trailer, smoking methamphetamine, drinking Natural Light beneath a Confederate battle flag, when you're really New Jersey trash is not culture, Tim, it's consumer-grade tribalism marketed to people desperate for an identity.

Sorry, but eating corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's day from a bar is not "culture".

You're a cheap fraud. Thank you for having the courage to be honest though. Saves us the time. Always some conspiracy among the racists. Or Republicans. Same thing.

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

And a Constitutional Republic by common definition and law is... (once again) by definition a type of "democracy".

It doesn't have to be this embarrassing for you. Maybe you're too stupid to realize just how embarrassing this is for you. Rush lied to you, to justify bad policy.

If you fear this is AI or some trick, I can give you the link to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary since you cannot find it and/or lack the ability to look it up yourself. You do know what a dictionary is, right?

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

No. You are talking about a specific type called "direct democracy."

You lack the foundational knowledge to even be part of this conversation. But... I'm always happy to help. See, there are several styles of democracy.

What is the definition of democracy?

Let's get the number one dictionary in the world. Also, want to look up the U.S. legal definition of democracy?

What makes a democracy both by common definition and legally, is that people vote for the laws directly (hence direct democracy) or the representatives who do and the people vote for the head of the government. Period. Really easy. If people vote for laws, or those in power, it is a democracy by definition and law.

Really simple. Quit embarrassing yourself. Had you just Googled it, you wouldn't make Americans fear that people like you actually vote. No wonder you don't understand policy.

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

You lack the foundational knowledge to even be part of this conversation.

Time to take you back to 2nd grade summer school. Let's get the dictionary out.

What is the definition of democracy? And the legal definition in the United States? Let's read Webster's. That is the number one dictionary in the world. You do know what a dictionary is, correct?

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

Correct. You're proving the very point you're trying to dispute.

A democracy and a republic are not interchangeable terms, but neither are they opposites. The United States is a constitutional republic that operates through democratic elections. Those facts coexist comfortably everywhere except in partisan talking points.

What we're seeing now is an attempt to redefine "democracy" as meaning only "direct democracy" so the American right can declare, "We're a republic, not a democracy," as though the two concepts are mutually exclusive. They aren't. This would not have been an argument two years ago.

In common usage, political science, and law, a republic is a state in which political authority ultimately derives from the people and is exercised through elected representatives. You said it yourself: the people vote for those who govern.

The irony is remarkable. Some now seem to believe Republicans are called Republicans because they support republics, while Democrats support democracy.

The real issue isn't democracy versus republic. It's whether words still mean what they meant before politics demanded otherwise.

After all, when an argument requires redefining established terms, it usually isn't the definition that's weak.

Let's just be honest. They want to argue it is a Republic because they conflate it with Roman "Republic" and therefore Congress can make Trump Emperor and attack democracy and implement unconstitutional practices and laws. That's what they want. Ceremonial elections and an Emperor.

Nixon, Reagan, both Bushes called the U.S. a democracy. Why? Because it is.

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

Get your Webster's dictionary out and tell us the definition of democracy? Screenshot the whole thing.

Tell us why Ronald Reagan repeatedly called the United States "a democracy".

You can't be this stupid, are you? I know the American right has been trying to reinvent reality, desperately... and frantically because the facts, truth and science don't comport to your reality. A Republic by definition is a democracy in and of itself, if the people vote in free and fair elections for their Representatives, you live in a "democracy".

[Damion Moore @DDLMoore]

You guys really can't be this stupid? Here, I will take you back to second grade summer school for you and the "short bus crew".

What is the definition of "democracy"?. From Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, the most sold dictionary on the planet and used by almost every legal professional.

You don't even know the definition of democracy. Yet, you're trying to argue what it is or is not.

You look foolish and desperate.. You're so stupid, you don't even know how embarrassing it is to engage with either a child, or someone so mentally handicapped, they didn't get a dictionary out before running their mouths or in this case, typing their fingers frantically while reading aloud.

I will educate you, because it appears, your second grade teacher who taught spelling, reading and comprehension failed you.

You lack the foundational knowledge to even have this discussion.
