Sure he's "kilgore" on the battle field and does killing well I just think his priorities are all neoconish

Eh. I at least appreciate that he wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to war. But yeah, he's a hawk.

yeah i guess thats my biggest issue.. I'm from Adams "seek monsters not to destroy" school. Mainly because action reaction and enemy you create has a vote. I'm actually a pussy about war cuz I know what it is, animalistic failure of human species and usually profit motive for top 1% behind it

You never really understood anything about WW2, did you? Read about. Watch some documentaries. Learn about the horrors committed by both the Germans and the Russians. They went beyond war, they brought hell to earth for all to see or turn a blind eye to, depending upon which country you hailed from at the time.

Fake news



Dude, do you just lie for fun? What's going on in that brain?

Fake news is the Trumplets favorite word. What about it is "fake"? Proof me wrong. Lol. You cant.

You have the Washington Post (owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, the third richest person in the world, who publicly campaigned against Trump) making the original report that Trump hung up on the aussie president.

You have Malcolm Turnbull (the Australian Prime Minister - they don't have presidents), recorded on video telling the world that reports of Trump hanging up on him are absolutely false, that their conversation ended courteously.

Whether or not you like Trump is irrelevant, the fake/agenda-driven news is blatantly obvious to any rational observer (chaos chaos chaos, dark dark dark - how fucking oblivious are people to not notice this stuff?).

Americans should be extremely alarmed with having their news organizations owned by a handful of rich individuals. Some are controlled by foreign shareholders who push propaganda that does not have America's interests at heart.

The public school systems need to do a much better job in educating everyone to better distinguish between propaganda/persuasion and objective news. The core k-12 curriculum should probably include courses on social psychology/logic, economics/finance, and other fundamental to life topics that everyone in society should learn. Of course that would require having good teachers rather than under qualified fluff majors fumbling through things they don't understand after taking a handful of "qualification" courses (it also requires motivated students).

Ownership of news organizations should be better publicized and there should probably be at least one major government run/public media in the US. With FCC deregulation leading to massive media consolidation, Americans are getting over 90% of their news from just 6 companies (it was over 50 companies in the 80s), and there's no accountability or proper deterrent for making shit up and attributing it to unnamed sources. If you don't like someone you can find some random person who calls them a Nazi and mention in your article that they've been previously criticized for being a Nazi, it's a fucking joke. Where are the standards?

I can't even watch the MSM anymore, it's a constant barrage of loaded/emotive phrasing, repetition/bandwagoning, ad hominem, cherry picking, selective editing, red herring, hyperbole, framing, labeling, non sequitur... journalism is dead, we're getting news from PR teams.

Exactly V, Amazon, and MS, google, apple and other should all be broken up under Sherman antirust laws. Democratic party aint what it used to be though.. they speak the language of the poor, labor and downtrodden, but are exact opposite. In bed with big business - no accident Clinton and Obama got over 1 billion each from Wall Street

Here's a tip to the smart people remaining on the left: push an elaborate conspiracy theory that George Soros is a conservative double agent intent on destroying liberalism from within in order to promote Trump and achieve a sinister globalist agenda. You'll win some of the Alex Jones types of crazies, you'll be able to redirect to more rational criticisms of the President, and it'll distance your political objectives from the complete fuckwads (antifa, MSM) that are destroying your credibility.

This is so so true. The amount of conspiracy nuts out there, and their devotion to believing utter bullshit is astounding.

Insults are insults. Whether they are generic or specific to political ideals is irrelevant. Both sides are wrong here. Nobody is "more right" because they are using different insults. People that can't have discussions without throwing out insults (on both sides) are either uneducated and can't defend their ideals, or are misled into thinking that if the other side is villianized then they are somehow empowered in their thought process.

I can't get behind this at all. There is no better or worse insults. They are insults and people that use them are not as smart as they think they are. Passionate yes...but not intelligent, critically-thinking people.

Let me rephrase a bit. If the English language totally lost the words 'cuck' and 'libtard' it would be no worse off - they could be replaced with hundreds of other equally insulting insults. Words like 'fascism' and 'nazi' have real historical meanings, and very significant ones at that. To reduce them to the level of 'basic insult' is irresponsible and dangerous.

Also a big irony I just realized a few moments ago. The progressive liberal thrash the Martin Luther King Student Union on the first day of Black History Month to protest a lecture by a gay immigrant who dates a black man, Liberalism is imploding into itself.

I shared this with teh missus. She loved it! =^[.]^=

It disgusts me how lightly the "progressive left" uses these two words. First of all, using those words vs Trump or Trump supporters is factually incorrect and secondly it is an insult to all the millions who really suffered under Fascism & Nazism.

otoh, beyond "Nazi & Hitler", there is nothing left to use. The "protesters" already stepped up their game to 100%. The longer they will keep it at max, the more irrelevant will their message become and the more credibility will they loose. I love watching these hysterical 'tards shooting themselves in the feet...
