  1. As the most anti-war candidate in the race, the Clintons and their goons would be taking losses in the tens of millions with a Gabbard presidency. Which is probably why Hillary feels the need to attack her right now. It's good for business. 

    Shouldn't be long before Gabbard dies of "suicide".

  2. (During the debate) She also shit on CNN (LOL) and Hillary (ROFL) which pissed A LOT of people off. 

    Hillary went on a podcast and began her offensive. Saying the Russians are grooming Tulsi for a 3rd party run. ABC Axios

    Tulsi replied on Twitter:
    "Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose. It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly."

     

    GET FUCKED. lmao

  3. President Yang would really put me over the edge. He has proven that he is one of the few real thinkers on that stage -- Gabbard is another even though she gets shit on for being a Russian shill (lol). Pretty sure I am more Yang Gang at this point than I was on the Ron Paul bandwagon -- which is saying something.

  4. I am wondering the same things...Where is this House vote? Pelosi and Schiff HAVE THE VOTES. 

    Which just leads me to believe that they know how much of a dog and pony show is and how it will backfire to epic proportions. They don't give two shits about Trump or his illegal activities. This is political theater. And that holds true even if they finally get pressured into a vote.

    EDIT:
    Just reading a politco article that is saying top Democratic officials and a lot of moderate Dems who are facing re-election don't want to vote. LMAO. What a bunch of fucking stooges.

  5. The moderate Democrats are starting to shit on the crazies. Not saying I support or love them — but Klobuchar and Mayor Pete we’re making a lot of sense tonight. 
     

    Speaking of crazies... Bernie seems to have secured the endorsement of AOC, Omar, and Tlaib . 
     

    It doesn’t sway me personally (*shudder*) but it’s a big get for Bernie — and it’s reallllly early for endorsements of that level at this point in the race. I am interested to see how this impacts the race.

    Edit:

    Am I looking into this too much or is AOC looking at a high cabinet position?


  6. I’ve bee resistant to the idea of the Packers adding a WR, but holy shit was that bad. Lmao. It doesn’t help that we choose to play inferior players over better ones though. 

    With all the injuries, Lazard not getting a real chance until the 4th quarter was moronic. Instead we let Darrius Shepherd almost give the game away. Mercedes Lewis has been consistently better and more impressive than Jimmy Graham but we still try to force balls to Jimmy. 

    GB is far from unstoppable... but good teams win these close games and they win in the division. Packers are doing both right now. We’re much better than I ever expected when the season started. 

    Either way... Packers definitely got a call or two in their favor but I don’t feel that terrible for the Lions. What did they really do that game? If they convert one of their 5 FGs to a TD this isn’t even an issue. 

    You need to play well enough that you don’t even let the refs make a difference. That wasn’t the Lions last night. It isn’t like the Lions utterly dominated that game and just got screwed by the refs of their deserving win. 

    And for as awful as the refs have been... I do like how it seems they are calling less Pass Interference In General. At least in packer games (lol) they allow (both) teams DBs to be very very physical and I like that.


  7. What have Democrats done for the “average” (whatever that means) American. 
     

    I remember Pew doing a poll during the middle of Obama’s 2nd term.  2/3 of Americans believed that there’s been little to no help for poor and middle class Americans nor have they helped small business. 

    Roughly the same percentage said those most benefiting from government policy was large banks, corporations, and the wealthy.

    Again, this is roughly ... 2015 or so IIRC. 

    The federal reserve also released data showing that the true middle class was earning less and had a lower overall net worth than when Obama took office. 
     

    Yeah, Obama talked a big game and had big ideas for helping out the poor and middle class but most of it wasn’t truly realized or effective in the ways he had hoped. He gets credit for stabilizing the economy but it didn’t come because helped the middle class... the middle class took on the burden of helping (mostly) the rich and some of the very poor. 
     

    I just googled for some examples cuz Idk where the hell that Pew polling data would be and I am not searching their website like 5 years lol. Full disclosure, I haven’t fully read through this but it seems solid going over both the good and bad.

    I'm not saying you're the Uber whiny, 72 gender, glitter farting, dildo slinging, unicorn horn sitting, do-nothing-bitch, feaux intellectual, self loathing, self pitying, handout taking, entitled, cunt bag type.

    But you are as far left as you can get while floating between the fringes of reality and firmly planted in it.

    I say fringes because you see a vast chasm between the left and right that isn't there, and you debate from emotion often. Most of the time you're Onnit even if we disagree. We will.kost likely never share a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle a, but I don't disapprove of your very existence like I used to, and still do for Blots and PhilElliot.

    You're much harder to pin down. One minute I like you, and the next I grab my flashlight and boots to help you find the mind you lost imo. 

    I would say on the spectrum from Rush Limbaugh to Blots you're a Whoopi Goldberg.

    This is one of the best posts in a long long time. Thank you.


  9. Nah, they aren't. Look what Democrats have done to the black community alone... It's disgusting. And they still vote for them (Democrats). Both parties are full of losers. Having faith or loyalty to a party is leading you to heartbreak, ignorance, or both. 

    Also:
    “According to Reuters polling data, Sanders supporters are three times as likely to choose Yang as their second favorite than backers of either U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren or former Vice President Joe Biden, the other two leading contenders.”

    I don't quite think I believe that, but I would be interested to see it for myself. Adios Bernie!

    Oh it definitely does. I believe we're all equal, I believe in climate change, and everyone should have healthcare. 

    I am not left in the slightest. You are left and that's a good thing. You are the decent face of the left. You could be a massive pile of shit like Blots left. You are the left this country needs to negotiate towards a middle.

    I'm really not hard left. Nowadays in the US if you believe in climate change being a real threat, people being equal under the law, and everyone having a right to healthcare, you're labeled as such. The US has far right and center parties compared to the rest of the world. And their far right party is led by a criminal who admitted to a crime on national TV and people still find a way to handwave it away. The GOP's utter capitulation and defense of Trump, no matter what he does, is going to destroy them.

    Wait.. you talking about the left and Joe Biden admitting his crime on TV? 

    I understand the frustration of coming to the realization that both parties are corrupt shills that don't have interests of the people at heart... bu that is the way it is. They do have their own unique evils in some regards, in others they share those evils.You want to believe there is hope. There's comfort in knowing there is a "good side". You chose the political blue pill, so to speak. Although, perhaps that's a bad metaphor because the blue pill is relative ignorance of everything and you just choose ignorance of half the equation. But either way, you get what im saying.

    It fits their preferred narrative of Trump doing unprecedented things, which is obviously false. You can't combat evil with lies and expect the American public to get in line with you. We might be unfathomably unintelligent as a whole, but there are enough smart voters (which consists of everybody in this thread, regardless of disagreements) to know bullshit when we see it. The irony is that each side points out bullshit with more bullshit.

    Yeah it’s a lot easier to point out faults than it is to fix the mess. The sheer amount of legislation that Pelosi is not moving through the House... and the sheer amount of legislation that McConnell won’t move on in the Senate is just insane. 
     

    The politicians argue and deflect while doing very little of their actual job — and the people suffer because of it. 


  13. I’ve said this before but I think that is one of the few good things of Trumps presidency. People are paying attention to a lot of the corruption of the office unlike they ever did before. Only problem with that though is they’re acting like the corruption just started — which makes me less hopeful that people will hold future presidents to the same high standard. 
     

    People on Twitter raging over sending troops to SA (rightfully so), but for whatever reason ignoring the fact that the US has backed SA for decades and it’s only gotten stronger since Baby Bush — which includes Obama bending the knee. 
     

    Trump is a problem.  But this isn’t a Trump problem. 
     

    These issues run so much deeper than most want to discuss. It’s far too easy to simply deflect everything to Trump (even when it’s fair). In the current climate that is where the discussion ends. We’re not going to get to the root of these issues or come up with real solutions if we just blame Trump and move on.

  14. Turkey has been communicating with NATO on their intentions. They claim they just want a buffer zone and to use said zone for Syrian refugees. 

    NATO chief even said that the concerns Turkey has with terrorism on their southern border plus the number of Syrian refugees they take in are legitimate. 

    Who knows what their real intentions are and idk what kind of talks have been attempted to work out those issues without dropping bombs... but it definitely doesn’t seem like a conflict I want to send Americans into to die. 


  15. It's 100% America's fault for dragging the Kurds through ... everything... for the last million years. Letting them sacrifice their soldiers to fight our fake war on terror was BS. The endless wars need to not be endless though. The Syrian Civil war isn't our war to fight.

    Sure, bud. Let's ignore the entire context surrounding everything Biden said, including the fact that the entirety of the EU had told Ukraine they would not be able to join if they didn't fire the prosecutor. Let's ignore the fact that even if Biden did exactly what you're saying, it's not legally wrong. Let's ignore the fact that he is not asking for dirt on a political opponent, which is absolutely a crime as laid out in the federal election code. 

    If pressuring foreign governments is a crime, Trump is guilty fifteen times over. That's not the issue here. The issue here is what he wanted. If Biden did exactly as alleged, he got a prosecutor fired who was investigating corruption at his son's company. Trump asked foreign governments to interfere in our election. There is a massive difference. 

    Look, I give no shits about Biden. He's not a great guy. I'm just tired of every time we bring up yet another crime Trump has committed, the right's only answer is whataboutism. But  her emails! But Biden did the same thing! When are we going to hold the man who has actually done all that and worse accountable? 

    If I could flip a switch and send both Biden and Trump to jail, I would do it in a heartbeat.

    And if Trump gets re-elected after being impeached and committing a crime, we're done as a country. Any future president can do whatever they want. 

    I mean nobody here is really defending Trump... and there’s already impeachment proceedings going on. 

    As far as I know, nobody is looking at Biden’s crimes. 

    I think Presidents do mostly whatever they want anyway. Doesn’t make Trump doing it right but this is a lot more than a Trump problem. This is a systematic issue dating back forever pretty much. Ever since the country was founded, the Presidential power has been increased bit by bit.
