Can we please have no more PRATTs on this board?

Point Refuted a Thousand Times:

"Is the government covering up alien visitation? Are vaccines harmful? Was the moon landing a hoax? These are questions that have been done to death, and there is nothing new you're likely to learn by questioning them further. Unless your motivation is emotional or ideological, it's time to recognize there's nothing to be gained from continuing to go over our most-trodden ground."

—Brian Dunning, Skeptoid[1]

A point refuted a thousand times, commonly abbreviated as PRATT, and called a canard outside of this website, refers to a point or argument that has literally been refuted so many times that it is not worth bothering with.

It is a common phrase on Internet forums — as debates have a tendency to go in circles. Once people have refuted a point the first thousand times, it's hard for them to muster the motivation to do it again. It's a very common accusation levied at creationists, who are notoriously unimaginative in what they say.[note 1] Coincidentally, PRATTs can usually be found coming from prats (British English for "idiots").

Let us please never again see, at least on this particular board, any contradictions of the following obvious and well-established facts that all RWs who post here know are true:

Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election fair and square, without "voter fraud" playing any role.

"Voter fraud" simply does not exist as a problem in American elections.

Climate change is real, anthropogenic, and dangerous.

There were no FBI provocateurs or Antifa false-flaggers in the 1/6 mob.

Joe Biden is not senile.

Measures to deal with the covid pandemic are not motivated by any kind of lust for power or control-freakery or statism or hostility to freedom or civil liberties.
 
Republican voter fraud, which is increasingly being revealed, most definitely exists as major problem in the United States.
 
cancel these topics and you just took away some of the main deplorable talking points. it ain't about truth, it's about "hey everybody, look at me!".

No, it's real, but not even that exists at a level that could possibly change the outcome of any election.
 
About Joe Biden being senile. I mean, he’s not now for sure. But the dude is old, he might become senile in the near future. Anyway it’s not beyond the realm of possibility.
As for the other points, anyone who believe those MAGA talking points are just retarded.

If Biden does ever show any real signs of senility, I'll be the first to call for a 25th Amendment solution and make Harris president.

There should be an age limit of 70 years on all federal officials anyway.

The bold part is the only honest thing in this whole post.

He has and you weren't.

Why must you lie?? :confused:
 
Another PRATT: Covid was not created in a laboratory:

Claims that the virus was engineered

The scientific consensus "overwhelmingly conclude(s) that this coronavirus originated in wildlife."[79] Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 shows that it shares about 96% of its RNA with a RaTG13 coronavirus strain found in a bat, and has mutations that are less likely to be have been the biproduct of artificial selection; the scientific consensus continues to be that an animal is the most likely source of SARS-CoV-2.[80][81][82][83][84][85] The death rate of SARS-CoV-2 is 2%, and is estimated that an average infected human can infect two and a half humans,[86] this reality runs contrary to the conspiracy as the whole point of a bioweapon is to kill people. Why the hell would the Chinese government want to piss off other governments by infecting their citizens and government officials?[87][88][89] At least with this conspiracy, it is somewhat realistic and would operate within the laws of physics, unlike the other conspiracies.

Of course, when conspiracy theorists are confronted on these contradictions, they say that yes, these government officials are being assassinated in the most attention-grabbing way possible, that would attract the imagination and alarm of the panicking public. One study explicitly refuted the plausibility of laboratory origin due to similarities to recently evolved zoological versions of coronavirus.[90]

But that hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists from claiming that it was created in a lab as a weapon or experiment gone wrong.

There's a thought.....Harris as pres....and we thought Biden is bad/senile/an idiot/perv of little girls...and all she will do is laugh that ridiculous laugh and stand with her hands clasped in front of her.

We did elect her VP, and that is what the VP is for -- our national spare tire.
 
ooops...did I say that? MY bad for thinking that as he likes little girls touching and rubbing his hairy legs...WHAT was I thinking????

You were not thinking. Sound like some bullshit you read on Breitbart or some such shit source.

Peck,
Who even cares if Biden acts "elder? Trump could not finish a sentence. So, we are improving our "Senior" government....In his early rallies I watched Hannity coach and draw out Trump's every word. "Cofeve!"
GOP is NOT obsessed with well spoken, astute leaders...Look at them...
If Biden forgets a word, it has nothing to do with policies or procedures. To behave like this is now catastrophic, is simply Elder Predudice and a decoy.
Remember, alot of these critics flat-out always refused to read trump's tweets directly...(or even watch him,) so they can shout " "MSM lies!" every time they hear something uncomfortable that he said.
This is all a red herring, so we never get to the real issues and the GOP do not have to worry about writing helpful legislation.....
Yes, the same things exhaustively need to be argued, again. That is why we (US) treads water.

How did I know before I even opened the thread
that all of the PRATTs would be Republicans.

:D

I guess that's because Democrats "feel"
that their points are irrefutable
as if a priori...

Mike Pence is a pretty low bar really.
I do think Harris is not that likable, she kinda gives off the Hillary Clinton vibes.

Hell, she's such a low bar that the whispers are beginning
that Hillary is now a viable Candidate as the Democrats
start to panic over who they can possibly run and win with
in the 2024 Presidential race...

Thank you President Biden for making Orange Man Bad! look viable too...

Grudge Match II


:eek:
 
And here's the really scary part for 2024...

VP Kamala Harris makes even Sarah Palin look viable!



:eek:
