Donald Trump and US politics
" But when the investigation concludes that nothing happened, will you still be in full "muh Russia" mode? GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" The Democrats tried over and over to be reasonable and compromise during Obama's presidency to no avail. Republicans were consistently evil, petty, and completely unwilling to compromise. They were fine taking ground, but giving it? Not once. Republicans were branded "the party of no" for a reason. The Gorsuch vote is a perfect example of this. Democrats were against Gorsuch because it was a stolen seat. Garland should have been there already. Obama's presidency was all about extending the olive branch, but "the party of no" is not one that can reasonably and rationally be compromised with. Constantly expecting Democrats to be the better people (because they quite literally are) who rise above the pettiness of Republicans leads to nonsense like the situation we're in today. If you want Democrats to stop doing things like voting against appointees to stolen seats, make Republicans stop being the most rancid sacks of shit ever to disgrace this country with their presence.

" That's practically nothing at this point. Republicans are an opposition party. They stand for everything Democrats are against in order to pick up irrational, single-issue voting morons. There's no rational reason to be a party who denies clear and obvious science, but if Democrats accept it? Well, looks like climate change is a hoax, then. Even with issues the parties agree on, their solutions are vastly different. Much of this is down to the ease with which conservatives latch onto racist ideas and deny facts that are in any way negative for them. Both parties are against terrorism. Democrats go with the rational "we should stop terrorists" approach. Republicans irrationally target all members of an ethnicity or religion instead. There's no compromise to be had with bigots. Unlike John Kelly, who apparently believes some black Americans being given forty acres and a mule while others are given a lifetime of brutal slavery is a reasonable compromise, decent human beings will not compromise with bigotry and racism. Republicans are the same portion of the population who have been dragging society back forever. Compromising with them is irrational. If someone wants to beat you, and you want them not to, what compromise can you reach that wouldn't still be terrible? Democrats have watched Republicans beat the shit out of America non-stop for far too long. It's a good thing that they've finally stopped capitulating. | |

Nazis and white nationalists are ALL criminals. Not all Muslims are criminals. Big difference.

"Holy shit, liberals aren't actually extinct. "Oh for fuck's sake, stop pretending. How is it that Trump forces you to choose him or not-him on every issue? How can anyone force that? You can be for Trump's immigration policy while being against his Afghanistan strategy, or vice versa. You can care deeply about issues Trump has scarcely addressed, like the Federal Reserve or fracking. "I don’t think it makes sense to say, ‘No, we’re not gonna work in any way in any form with the Trump administration’... If he is prepared to work with us... yes, let’s work together." — Bernie Sanders, Jan 23 2017 You are choosing to adopt a hardline partisan position, free from coercion; take responsibility. You are the one who refuses to acknowledge your political opponents as human. You realize you're roughly tied with the worst of the 4chan bigots on that score, don't you? You realize the anti-semites have their own bullshit conspiracy theories about how (((they))) force white people to be bigots if the whites are to survive? You are blaming Trump to deflect your own guilt. I know you're used to cuckservatives, but you can't blame Trump for your surprise merely because he doesn't immediately bend over and spread 'em in response to every Leftist public shaming. It's like a boxer bring traumatized that his opponent had the gall to actually hit him back (and claim he is a subhuman evil as a result). Man up, will ya? "The GOP blocking Obama from filling the Scalia vacancy, and Obama circumventing Congress via Executive Order, were both tremendously bad precedents. All these so-called "woke" people acting as if extreme partisanship is a Trump exclusive... well, if you just woke up, don't you think you might want to fill yourself in on what went down while you were sleeping? People need to understand that we did not arrive here through some completely random, sudden, and artificial process, but gradually, predictably, organically. (In their pre-election coverage, both Tarl Warwick and H.A. Goodman predicted it, with well-reasoned arguments.) If it seems sudden for you, well, that just shows you weren't paying attention. "Um, I'm a little dubious about Obama, but definitely Clinton and some other Obama administration officials, yeah. Lock them up. As far as Obama goes, I think we can prove rather convincingly that he lied regarding Clinton's private email address, but I'm not completely sure that constitutes a crime; he also is on record advocating some scary Internet censorship policies, but again, probably not criminal. Hillary Rodham Felon is the main target, and it's unclear how much Obama knew. I mean, have you considered the possibility that both political parties are pretty fucking corrupt? " " ![]() ![]() ![]() When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero.

" That's just not true. Young Muslim men are being radicalized just like young white men are in America. His faith was an integral part of the process that turned him into a killer, just as their race is an integral part of what turned so many white people in America into insane right-wing zealots with truly monstrous beliefs. Some people value some aspect of themselves far more than they should, which allows their beliefs to be warped into something terrible. The white supremacists who post in this thread wouldn't be white supremacists if they weren't white. That doesn't say anything bad about white people, just as the Muslims being radicalized doesn't say anything bad about Muslims (though there are plenty of bad things to say about the Abrahamic religions, which are absolutely fucking repulsive). It sure as hell says something bad about human psychology, though. It's too easy for us to be turned against each other with lies and propaganda. The mentally weak, like this person or the assholes chanting "build the wall" or "Jews will not replace us," are good examples of this. Trump rode in on a tide of the same mindless hate and fear that turned that man into a killer. | |
" Please don t play the gender card on that.There are muslims women blowing up themselves everyday and there is white nazis female supporters. Also What do you call "white nationalist" on this forum? You mean Trump supporters? What about black trump supporters? " What about american nationalists from other ethnicity? What about those Latinos/black americans nationalists who think theUSA must be first? Poe Pvp experience https://youtu.be/Z6eg3aB_V1g?t=302 Last edited by Head_Less on Nov 1, 2017, 12:11:41 PM
