Donald Trump and US politics

bipartisanship


Speaking of things we left behind a while back. The Republican party is almost purely an opposition party at this point. They can only be fought and resisted.

I really love Trump complaining that Democrats are being obstructionists when all he's doing is actively fighting against everything Democrats stand for. Yeah, no shit they're being obstructionists, jackass! Everything you're doing is awful!

"Why won't the Democrats help me take health care away from Americans? Somebody has to help me pass this "mean" bill to slash health care benefits for the poor and cut taxes on the rich!"

What a moron.

Sadly, I have to say I hit my limit and turned my forum ignore list back on. I'll no longer be seeing any posts from Trumpers. I just can't handle that level of insanity for too long. Any future attempts at communication with them will have to come from someone else.

FTFY

I checked the DKIM on some of them multiple times. After the first time it wasn't necessary, but it still felt really good.

If you can't beat 'em, pretend they don't exist.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

I legit cannot tell if you're trolling hardcore or not. Obviously that's what both sides say. It's like you never, ever once have ever tried to empathize with any other viewpoint.

Also, continuing to call me a right-wing Trumper doesn't make it true. Feel free to yell at clouds and live in a filter bubble of your own design.

Not all biases are bad. If you disagree, I can offer you a peanut butter sandwich, a shit sandwich, and a quarter. Do you have a strong (and rational) bias against one sandwich, or do you simply want to flip to see who gets which?


The far left is allergic to peanut butter, so they think everyone else should be eating feces between two slice of organic gluten free potato bread. Everything is a dichotomy to the far left. There is no attempt at civil dialogue, and further when someone tries to discuss a compromise, the far left demonizes them and acts as if they were being sprayed with polonium.

The smart person says they will flip, keeps the quarter and goes to make their own sandwhich instead of depending on the handout.

I don't think all biases are bad, either. But when I tried to explain which biases are good, I was told

GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Sometimes I wonder if guys like that ^ are just people on the left pretending to be insane to make the right look bad. Then I remember, no, that's just what today's right has become.

Sigh.


I've wondered the same thing about you doing exactly that, just to make the left look bad. You've done a fantastic job so far. I think you're likely a Pepe from /pol/.

Sad, actually. More scared of internet trolls and a 0.01% than a full-blown industry. An analogous question would be "what poses a greater danger to science -- flat-earthers or climate change alarmism?" Even if you think there's plenty of valid cause for alarm, the industry obviously poses a greater risk of corruption.

Nothing to see here, just a CNN crew "Rescuing" a guy - and miraculously changing clothes from shorts and sandals to pants and boots during a 7.5 second run toward the truck they are "saving".

Here's the original from CNN themselves -

What's even more amazing is that the reporter still has his microphone and cable in hand during the "rescue". "Look Mom, I rescued this guy with only one hand!" That's what I call journalistic dedication.

There was an earlier version where the person they "saved" was on the tailgate of the truck and they were driving away with him to get him to a safe area. The driver thought the truck was out of the frame and stopped the vehicle - but you could still see the truck in the frame of the camera.

CNN = FAKE NEWS
