J D Vance. Munich speech.

[carmanmemoranda]

He didn't make it up. Great speech.

You've previously admitted you have no standards or morals in politics.

That you can lap up lies is no surprise

 

[fillyboy]

Why didn't he do that in his own house. Or in a church.

Ask him.

 

[MNW67]

It’s a hallmark of dictatorships and the go-to when you want to overturn or rig votes.

Correlation and causation?

 

[MNW67]

Ask him.

Maybe he was trying to get arrested?

Praying man breached Bournemouth abortion clinic safe zone

The physiotherapist said he had been praying for his unborn son who died by abortion 22 years ago.

Thanks, like I said, vance lied.

 

[fillyboy]

Maybe he was trying to get arrested?

You may be right, or you may be wrong.

 

[Brigadier]

Why not zero corporation tax and no labour protection laws then?

Well, @Dylan123?

 

[fillyboy]

Thanks, like I said, vance lied.

BBC confirms he didn't lie.

 

[denso13]

Are you sure you’re on the right side when you’re acting as the PR for censors and authoritarians?

Just pointing out that the speech you speak so highly of was full if lies and half truths. That says more about you than me quite frankly.

 

[denso13]

BBC confirms he didn't lie.

He wasn't arrested for praying silently. Vance lied.

 

[Dylan123]

Why didn't he do that in his own house. Or in a church.

I’m confused. I thought JVD was telling lies.

Now they aren’t lies, is it now a mitigation defence? “Well, they did do it, but it’s not bad, for these reasons”

It’s up to anyone what they do in their own time. If they have a spiritual issue with abortion they have as much right to silently pray as anyone else has to take up a placard and protest injustice.

Would you say to a political protest “why can’t you just talk about it in your own homes?”

 

[fillyboy]

He wasn't arrested for praying silently. Vance lied.

JD didn't say he was 'arrested', he says he was 'convicted', confirmed by the BBC.

 

[Dylan123]

He wasn't arrested for praying silently. Vance lied.

you do realise everyone sees what you’re doing here and knows it’s intellectually dishonest, right?

Do you know this, or have you convinced yourself it isn’t?

 

[denso13]

up to anyone what they do in their own time. If they have a spiritual issue with abortion they have as much right to silently pray as anyone else has

And they let him pray.

Short answer is 10% additional corporation tax cuts business investment by about 2% of GDP.

Happy?
