The whole LGBTP thing was a 4chan propaganda initiative a while ago. I guess they got through to someone. Also, whoever was wondering whether they should respond to that poo poo... please do.

This can be both a blessing and a curse (source: I can do this in several languages), but like half the time, whenever Trump tweets (as in the real McCoy; no Scavino and no intern trying to translate his rotten burger poo poo for brains' braying into something semi-coherent) it honestly feels like a crapshoot. Like, baby-talk sometimes feels more coherent/lucid than whatever this guy is trying to convey.

Why is Mexico even playing along? All the financial news stories in the big city elevators are breathlessly talking about how the two sides are in heated frantic negotiations and desperate to find a deal before the deadline. Why is Mexico even returning our calls?

Just tell us "Fine, charge yourselves more to buy from us, see if we give a poo poo"
I have a lot of strong opinions about AMLO as president and his cabinet, but pretty much everything that I've read here in the local/national news is Marcelo Ebrard (Mexico's Foreign Secretary) going "Sure, Trump. Whatever you say :jerkbag:"

Yup, there's a rumor going around that Pedophiles want to be included in the acronym - which they probably do - but it's spun in such a way to act like it's being taken seriously, that the gay community is going to pull in pedophiles and celebrate them.

Credulous, hateful right wingers believe it because to them, it isn't a stretch - they already support "Those men who wanna be women", so there is no depth to their depravity.

It's not that pedophiles want to be seen as a sexuality. It's entirely projection that deviant sexualities are dangerous to children, explicitly. The point is to demonize, and it has nothing to do with credulity. I haven't ever seen a single person ask "are pedophiles included?" It's always, 100% of the time accusatory.

Yeah, equating homosexuality with peophilia has been a right-wing talking point for years. Like, as far back as 2004 (and probably further), Rick Santorum (R-Anus), was on TV equating Homosexuality with pedophilia and bestiality in terms of depravity.

No, I know what I'm talking about here, there's actually circulating fake news articles about pedophiles being included in the acronym, here's the Snopes about it:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lgbtp-adding-letter/

And here's a Daily Caller article about it for an example of the kind of lies that are circulating:
https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/09/pedophiles-lgbt-community/

These are real, circulated rumors that may have a seed of truth(in that some pedophiles lobby for acceptance, which they shouldn't be given!), but they're being spun as "see, the gay dudes are saying pedophilia is OK". That's a thing that is actually happening.

This is a unique experience for me. I've seen it happen to other people before, but it's neat. Thank you for explaining to me that I'm wrong about my own people because you've found conspiracy theories surrounding it. Congratulations, you've discovered that in July of last year, this suddenly became a thing. Because, about a year ago, like I mentioned, this spiked as a method to attack gay men (specifically) and LGBTQ people in general.

MAP/NOMAP isn't a real thing in the gay community. To the extent that it exists on Twitter and Urban Dictionary is self-referential to the non-thing you're pointing to.

I don't know what you're reading in my posts, but it isn't whatever you're responding to.

There is a recent, specific push to push the specific lie that Gay people are going to add a "P" to the acronym. It isn't a general, background association of homosexuality with pedophilia - which does exist! It's a specific effort ongoing right now that did not have significant traction 5 years ago.

There are actual pedophile organizations that push for pedophile acceptance as a normal, healthy organization. This is a true thing. They are not, however, being successful in their efforts, and LGBT groups largely tell them to GTFO when they try to weasel their way in.

Their existence is a real thing, their acceptance is not.

On the topic of Trump's weird psychology, there was a tweet a while back that amusedly pointed out that the superiority of steam over electric catapults on aircraft carriers is one to the few things that Trump Actually Believes In.

Anyone have a good explanation on that and why it might persist longer in his head than most of his fleeting ideas?

Aside from the general "steam is how things used to be and therefore better" old people logic, it seems that when he was briefed on the delays the next carrier was suffering from, one bullet point mentioned that the new electric catapult was problematic and that's the only bit he retained.

I mean, yeah. NAMBLA is a real thing that exists. But the connection of gay men to pedophilia is an old one, and the purpose of drawing attention to that connection in public consciousness is to demonize, like it always was. That the angle of attack has expanded to not just gay=pedophile but to gay=pedophile accepting doesn't really seem like a shift to me that's worth anything. And in practice, in real life, random assholes have been calling me "pedo" as synonymous with gay more recently. Which I what my initial point was. You seemed to be discounting what I was saying to point out ... that people try to demonize gay men by associating them with pedophiles. Which is what I thought my original point was.

Because they do. Frequently.

edit: I'm going to chalk this up to me getting into about 50 bad faith homophobia-related arguments this week thanks to the Maza/Crowder situation and being on a hair-trigger. I don't think what you said is wrong, and I don't want to poo poo up the thread more. So I'mma take a nap. Soz for jumping on you.

the navy wants to use electromagnetic catapults to launch aircraft instead of steam catapults. this is because modern carriers generally don't generate that much steam anymore, and also it's easier to adjust the power of an electromagnetic catapult so you can launch smaller aircraft like drones

they were having trouble getting the new catapult to work right and this stuck in trump's idiot brain for some reason, maybe because it was the easiest thing for him to understand, some general complaint about how old > new, i don't know
