    You can always assume Taco supporters are lying.

    But yeah, they have been full of shit for a very long time on how “censored” they are, LOL.

    Also, I really wish people would squelch the misuse of the term “skeptics” when we are talking about conspiracy theorist denialists, full stop.

      I mean, whatever. Confederates start with the desired outcome they want and then work backwards from that to justify it. They’re always consistent in their mind, because to them consistency is how they feel about the outcome. It doesn’t matter to them that they have no internal consistency between each justification. They just want to impose their will or, if necessary, make you let them have their way.

      To say it bluntly, it’s the mindset of a child.

    When they bring up Murthy v. Missouri it’s always good to remind them what the Supreme Court said.

    To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a government defendant and redressable by the injunction they seek. Because no plaintiff has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction.
