We are Free Speech Absolutists....However it Doesn't Have to Mean Profanity!

Arnold, CA...We believe strongly in unadulterated free speech. If people know they can speak freely even though they may be wrong or in the minority we believe it not only helps preserve other freedoms but acts as a pressure relief valve on society. If the goal is to persuade others to see the world as you do just screaming or typing obscenities rarely has that effect. We want you to have your say period. However, you can voice your opinion with reason and not just insults and vulgarity. So you may see some comments removed not because of content of beliefs or political position but on basis of profanity.





If you see anything you think crosses the vulgarity line let us know at news@thepinetree.net and please include the link to the article and it will be taken down post haste.


Comments - Make a comment
The comments are owned by the poster. We are not responsible for its content. We value free speech but remember this is a public forum and we hope that people would use common sense and decency. If you see an offensive comment please email us at news@thepinetree.net
Debate Not Personal Insults
Posted on: 2023-07-27 10:08:42   By: Anonymous
 
As a progressive, I welcome debate of issues this is healthy for a community.
In debating issues, facts established facts are cited, to bolster positions.
The recent avalanche of "alternative views, facts" are just that, they are not provable facts or truth, they are positions based on dubious sources, many times easily debunked. They amount to propaganda, falsehoods, nothing less.

It is troubling to me, now 71 Yrs, that America has fallen in to the cesspool of what I grew up hearing from the USSR, and China, DPRK.
Word salads of lies, with no facts supporting their rhetoric.

As a society, we advanced thru science, mathematics, free thought and a vote for all.
Now these cornerstones of a free society are attacked by those who choose misinformation , to mainly buy these cornerstones, for their economic gain and power.

I do not wish ill to anyone, I wish all can aim to increase consciousness thru the education , enlightenment by debate using science, facts, established truth, and repel those who can buy their way in to reverse the advances of our community.

        Yes I am, I readily admit it. However it is allowed, and my use is occasional, not the endless barrage of ..... Robs, Mexican prison ...., and so forth.
        I can easily live and communicate without the profusion of profanity this cesspool has become. I have the intelligence and vocabulary to easily express myself without them.
        So Mr. Hamilton, please do initiate a policy of omitting any profane commentary on The Pinetree.
        We all look forward to the implementation of the new policy.

      Good example, the facts around the world show vaccines worked with very few complications, masks also do work.

      The same "freedom" argument" was used for smoking and car seat belts.

      Most of us wish to have factual information proven by data ; smoking causes much damage to the smoker, and others around them;2nd, 3rd hand smoke.

      Seat belts also have saved many lives , a proven fact.

      Facts matter, truth matter, alternative views that cannot be proven by peer review, are not facts, they are disproven, and deemed false.

        Although lets be honest... we had 100 years of Seat Belt Data. We didn't have 100 years of COVID data upon which to make decisions. We were making due with the data available to the best minds at the time.

        Imperfect, but that's the way science works. It gets better with data.

    Whore isn't a vulgarity as in a swear word. We've had whores, gold-diggers,gigolo, prostitutes since the begining of time. I do believe Kamala Harris started her career by servicing or being Willie Brown's lover didn't she? In payment, she did a pretty good job by being paid how many Ten's of thousands of dollars a year? So in essence she's black and she was paid for providing sex and working for the Big Willie.

John, if you're saying you'll start keeping out the witless vulgarities, I'd say it's about time. We've talked about it. If hits make you more money and taking out the vulgarities loses you some money, I'll try to help by commenting more often and giving a few more hits. As it is, I'm reluctant to jump into the cesspool with a thoughtful comment that I know will be ridiculed by people with no concept of a positive discourse. You're a hero for keeping thePineTree going. You don't have to enable the trolls in the process. Thanks. The Cub Reporter

    ^My thoughts exactly.

    It's hard to think he is serious about this, probably 40-50% of comments would be taken down. Undoubtedly, that would impact Hamilton's revenues.

    Possibly, the site has matured to the point where Hamilton feels he can do that and whether the risk.

    The difficult part would be finding intelligent, thinking people on the right who would eloquently defend the indefensible.

    Otherwise, the commentary will lean left, which won't be welcome in these conservatively leaning counties

      There are many who do welcome a lively debate citing peer review facts.
      Citing data from reputable sources established science, studies which is how debates should be.

      I agree, those whose only reason is to post personal attacks, vulgarities are not welcome in a forum of free speech, they have not matured enough to value debate, and free speech.

      I applaud John for broaching this subject in his forum, which has gone south sadly with many only using the forum for their vulgar jollies.

    Me, too….Keep The Pinetree going, please, John….but the “discourse” is deeply disgusting at times.

    In some ways, however, it IS illustrative of the ACTUAL thought processes and core opinions of a small minority of Pinetree readers. Whenever I occasionally think that nobody could possibly espouse such racism, homophobia, sexism, “flatlander-ism”, etc…...all I gotta do is open up the comments section of this blog, and there it is, for all to see. Makes me all the more determined to advocate for progressive policies, as well as encourage others to vote.

    Either way, I’ve found many things to appreciate about The Pinetree over the years, and I’m grateful to you for your continued perseverance.

Posted on: 2023-07-27 12:27:48   By: Anonymous
 

Bless this liberal democrat Texas man's heroic effort and putting his life in danger for the sake of everyone, no matter the color of his skin, sexuality, political or spiritual preference.

Under horrifying conditions, "Progressive Texas congressman and honorary "Squad" member Greg Casar went on a thirst strike Tuesday morning hoping to raise awareness about the countless workers across the United States who often perform their duties dehydrated due to a lack of mandatory water breaks."
For Congressman Casar safety, he had medics monitoring his vital signs to make sure he would survive this ordeal. He also had help by people pouring a little water on him and fanning him.
Congressman Greg Casar went all out in his marathon of not a single drop of water drank, until almost 9 hours later, to a round of applauses.
Thank you Congressman Casar, for your heroic effort of trying to get us more water breaks.
I'd certainly like to see a Republican risk his life like this, wouldn't you?
That would be like Hunter Biden not doing drugs for one day, or the POTUS working a full 8 hours, uhh yes, in an entire 24 hour period. Yes, that would be a life threatening effort.

President Biden and everyone in his Administration, that's right EVERYONE has been ordered by a court of law that they can not contact anyone in official business with any social media because the Biden administration, including the FBI and the DOJ and the IRS had censored millions of comments from the Republicans, from the Independents, even from many Democrats who said things the Biden Administration did not like, so Biden's Administration stopped Millions of American citizens and others from THEIR RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.

    Come on man, lighten up on President Biden. He's had it tough man. I mean look at it from a distance and you'll see if different.
    He's been one of the worst Fathers as a senator. The only kid he raised that wasn't an alcoholic and a drug addict (that we know of) died and Joe doesn't even remember anything about it. His daughter Ashley turned to alcohol and drug addiction to try to erase the memories of her father molesting her as a little girl in their shower time together, which she wrote about in her diary and it still affects her today. Then you have his son Hunter, where does one even start with that train wreck? So Joe as a Father, taught his kids it's okay to molest little girls, drugs and alcohol are acceptable, lying to people, prostitution, being a sexual predator, having sex with your dying brother's wife and having sex with his under age niece, committing crimes for money is fine and dandy even if it's with your own country enemy and or adversaries, have an illegal firearm and lying to the federal gov. Hiding millions from the IRS, trying and finally failing to not paying any child support or medical bills of your own kids. This is the kind of dad Joe is to teach his kids that this is acceptable behavior to have and how Joe sees it's a great family that he's raised, the Biden Family values. And the democrats up here seem to think he's a great President.
    I'm sure many on the left just love the Biden Family values, that's probably why are prison system's population is overwhelmingly liberal democrats....well if they could vote that is. But every election cycle the democrap politician do try to change our voting laws to let incarcerated felons the right to vote, don't they? Because of the TEN'S OF THOUSANDS OF LIBERAL DEMOCRATS VIOLENT VOTERS will vote for their OWN KIND.

      I'm sorry, truly I am. It has come to my attention and I've been so busy creating 14,000,000 jobs for Americans and the incredibly hugely successful withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan, that by the way I was against from the start. Anyways, as I was saying, uhh I... I.. ( psst...make the whatchamacallit bigger...I can't read it you stupid son of a *bleep*ing whore bitch).oh as I was saying, it came to my attention that I had misspoken while ...actually when I was campaigning in my warm basement man cave that I might have said " I have never spoke to my son about his overseas business" or " I never discussed my son's foreign business" you know my job has been mind bogglingly tough. After the last administration gave us the worst inflation, economy, supply chain crisis, dishonest administration I had to clean it all up. But I need to come clean with the American people, I meant to say I was "never in business" with my son, Hunter. And I'd like to further say my son is an American citizen, and has a private life as does any American citizen just like you have a private life. So I'd further like to remind you, just because my son has gone on dozens of trips with me on Air Force Two when I was VP and Air Force One, I never was in business dealings with my son. Read the last part again period. I was never in business dealings with my son.
      So as a private citizen my son deserves privacy. Just because he had a Presidential style motorcade to see the judge for that sweetheart deal hearing that my DOJ asked everyone to sign off on, what... WHAT??? IT DIDN'T GO THRU??? I...We...please.... I'd like to remind you I love my son Hunter, he's done nothing wrong and I would like you to know, as you can see, my son will be treated just like anyone else who is the son of a horse faced pony soldier...or a you know ...that things what's it called...a guy person goes to trial and things like that.
      Thank you to all my loyal people and I promise you this, after your student loans are paid off by me Your President, I'm going to erase everyone's CREDIT CARD BILLS IF YOU VOTE FOR ME AS YOUR VICE PRESIDENT 2024 !!! AND I'LL DO AWAY WITH ALL THAT OTHER STUFF ...YOU KNOW...THAT THE WHATCHAMACALLIT SO YOU ALL CAN VOTE FOR FREEEEEEE FREEEEE FREEEEE IF YOU VOTE FOR MEEEEEE, IT'S FREEEEEEEEE
      FREEEEEEEE FREEEEEEE
      Thank you thank you so much I can always count on my liberal democrat voter's intelligence when they know how I deliver them from the valley of ...you know...dark or that thing ....no no more questions I have a judge to threaten or have their family...thank you thank you to all my very very smart intelligent ...haha...I crack me up sometimes...voters....hehehe no more questions.

        You just can't make this stuff up. The Dementia Patient known as President Magoo pocketed a MILLION DOLLARS as VP from Romania, and had it deposited in 17 different Biden LLC'S!!! Mr "I have never discussed my son's overseas business"

        According to prepared remarks from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., in June, the Bidens received more than $1 million in 17 increments.
        McCarthy said Monday that 16 of those 17 payments went to what he described as "Biden shell companies" while President Biden was vice president. According to Comer's prepared remarks, the elder Biden had been "lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policies" while instead being a "walking billboard for his… family to collect money."

          Then-Vice President Joe Biden participated in phone calls with son Hunter's overseas business partners, according to a whistleblower expected to testify before Congress this week.

          Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's former best friend, is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee, the New York Post reported.

          "We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden's overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone," Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said, the Post reported.

          Joe Biden repeatedly has said he knew nothing about Hunter's overseas business dealings.

          Archer, 48, is expected to tell the House panel that he witnessed Hunter Biden dialing in his father, on speakerphone, into meetings and introducing him to foreign business partners or prospective investors.

          One December, 2015, call involved Ukrainian energy company Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky, who urgently asked to speak with Hunter before being put on the phone with Joe Biden.

          Archer is expected to testify that Joe Biden greeted Zlochevsky and senior Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi but spoke only in vague pleasantries during the short call, the Post reported.

          On the call, Hunter said the Burisma leaders "need our support," according to Archer.

          Burisma was paying Hunter $83,000 a month as a director.

          Lawmakers are expected to probe the reasons for Zlochevsky requesting the urgent phone call with Joe Biden, the Post reported.

          At the time of the call, Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption. By Feb. 2, 2016, Shokin would seize houses, land, and a Rolls Royce belonging to Zlochevsky, who was living in exile in Dubai.

          However, Shokin was fired a month later after Joe Biden, the Obama administration's point man for Ukraine, threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine.

          Archer is expected to testify about other speakerphone meetings — as many as two dozen — including a dinner at a restaurant in Paris where Hunter put his father on speaker to impress prospective investors.

          The whistleblower also is expected to testify about two dinners Hunter organized for his VP father to meet business partners from Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan, the Post reported.

          Archer is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud.

          A close associate of Archer said the whistleblower is testifying because he believes it is his "civic duty."

          Another former Hunter Biden partner, Tony Bobulinski, remembers Hunter offering to get his father on the phone during a meeting by the Chateau Marmont pool in Los Angeles.

          "I am also aware of other Biden family business associates confirming that Joe would take phone calls from Hunter in the middle of business meetings and would weigh in via speakerphone," Bobulinski says, the Post reported.

          "The American people don't fully appreciate yet the key role Joe Biden played in the Biden family global influence peddling … I would equate it to a chairman's role in a traditional business structure."

          Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, last week released an FBI document that shows a confidential human source (CHS) told the FBI that President Biden was a part of a criminal bribery scheme with Zlochevsky while Biden was vice president.

            Talk about senile, dementia or just plain stupid as a fence post, is anyone who thinks this Corrupt Traitor of a president is doing a good job.
            He gloats about inflation going down? Inflation he and he only, created. He talks about millions of jobs he's created? It was all of the Democrats who, because of politics and not following science, shutdown their states. Now many people need two jobs because of their credit is maxed out and bidenomics inflation. Those prices all the businesses raised? They haven't gone down.

            " if you go to the grocery store, or you go to get your gas fill up, or you buy an airline ticket or buy meat, all of those things on average are up 15 and a half percent. And that's going to continue as we continue to have this inflation."
            Thanks to idiots who voted for a basement dwelling, diaper wearing dementia patient who can't even talk without losing his train of thought, who hired people to help run our once great Nation because of their sex, skin color, or be a use of being mentally ill, instead of who's best for our Country.
            Biden, will go down as the worst, weakest and most Corrupt President in History.

              latest weird interaction with a little girl has once again drawn attention to his frequent awkward behavior with the children of other people.

              The president appeared to nibble at the shoulder of a startled young Finnish girl during his departure from Helsinki on Thursday, according to video taken as he greeted embassy staff members and their families before boarding Air Force One.

              The video showed Biden leaning into the girl, who was being held by a woman who appeared to be her mother, and placing his mouth on her shoulder as he nibbled lightly. The girl appeared frightened, and later turned away when Biden tried to give her a peck on the head.

              In October, Biden was ripped on social media for telling a young girl not to have a serious relationship until she turns 30.

              I got hairy legs that turned ... blonde in the sun. And the kids used to come up and reach into the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and watch the hair come back up again," Biden recalled during a speech at the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Aquatic Center in Wilmington, Delaware in June 2017.

              Joe Biden then said he "learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I loved kids jumping on my lap."

                  It is what it is, many terds floating in an otherwise good forum.
                  Free speech is not pretty , neither is vulgar racist sexist terd comments.

                  lil donnie called for insurrection Jan 6th , free speech he is asserting , the question is where does free speech end and threats and violent rhetoric cross the live as with crying fire in a crowded theater when there is none, that is illegal and prosecutable.

                  The term stochastic terrorism is just that- terrorism.
                  Why lil don is being prosecuted for sedition. many in Congress also should be charged.

                  Unabashed free speech has downfalls.

                  It does turn away the thoughtful posters, advertisers.

                  It's your forum John, your choice.

President Biden is all in for Free Speech but just for the Democrats, that's why a Federal Judge shutdown any and all of the Biden administration to have contact any social media platform. In other words the Biden administration has taken the same political stance that Adolph Hitler had towards any the people Right To Free Speech. And many on his staff say the president screams at them using vulgar language, but they say it's constructive criticism. 🙄

SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT
Special Counsel Jack Smith has issued SUPERSEDING indictments for Trump and Nauta in the documents case, and has added Carlos DeOliveira as a criminal defendant. So let's take a look at whats new.
Starting on page 27 of the superseding indictment, prosecutors spell out the new plot to delete security camera footage. This conspiracy included Trump, Nauta, and DeOliveira. Per the indictment (link to the full document below), the day after DoJ subpoenaed the Trump Org for the security camera footage, Trump called DeOliveira and they spoke for 24 minutes.
Keep in mind, DeOliveira is the guy who helped Nauta move boxes. He's represented by an attorney paid for by the Trump Save America PAC. He's the guy who called the Mar a Lago IT guy and asked questions about how long security footage was kept. And he's the guy that reportedly drained the pool into the server room where the surveillance footage was stored.
The next day, Trump asked Nauta to return to Mar a Lago, and when he got there, Nauta told DeOliveira that trump wanted him to talk to the IT guy.
Two days after that, DeOliveira went to see the IT guy and told him trump wanted him to DELETE the security footage.
Now, the indictment does NOT address any attempts to delete or destroy the footage, just the attempt (which is a crime). So all three have been charged with obstruction of justice for that attempt. DeOliveira has also been charged with lying to the FBI about moving boxes with Carlos.
It's also mentioned in the indictment that DeOliveira was told if he were loyal, trump would pay for his lawyer.
ADDITIONALLY: Trump has been hit with a superseding charge of retaining that Iran document he waved around during that audio recording we heard. That's count 32, and it shows that Jack Smith NOW HAS that document. He has not been charged with dissemination.
