Title: US News & Politics
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-01-28 23:19:50
US NEWS & POLITICS

I can tell we are going to need a politics thread.  At PSF 1.0 we had an in-depth politics thread series that focused on political debates leading up to the 2016 Presidential Election.  This new topic will be more overarching and focus on U.S. news, politics, and foreign policy.  Remember, we can disagree, but never leave angry.  They are just opinions.

So guys, we got an election coming up.  What are you guys thinking and what issues are important to you?

It is a very tough field.  I know who I don't want, and who I don't want to win... but choosing someone I want to win is a lot harder.  I mean... this is for making the country great!  We've floundered under the current administration, and our country needs to be great again.  I want us to move forward and improve.  I want us to proud when we think of this country.  I want jobs, good jobs, and growth.  Politically correct nonsense needs to be toned down, and our priorities need to be set straight.

We need to defeat our enemy.  You don't contain then, you eradicate them.  We need to grow our relations with our allies and try to build bridges with our rough ones.  We need to bring jobs to America.  We need to grow, thrive, and not get sidetracked with petty issues.

Oh my!  Who is "our enemy"?  If you allude to making a large deployment to Syria, I don't necessarily disagree, though it should not be done unilaterally.

Sadly, you cannot just wave a wand and create jobs.  Granted, there's a deal of red tape that could stand to be unwound, but macroeconomic growth in the short to medium term is likely to remain slack, improving only gradually over the next few years, regardless of who's the new government figurehead.

I'm not sure what "great again" alludes to?  It's a common sound bite, but seems to be a stand-in for chest-thumping rather than a particular set of policies.  If you refer to the unchallenged hegemony enjoyed over the non-Soviet world in the decades following WWII, that's not likely to come roaring back any time soon.  Fortunately, America continues to be the dominant cultural force and to export many of her better ideas worldwide.  So power may become more distributed, but the world's values are trending to be closer to our own.

I'm not convinced that the current administration has been meaningfully worse than the previous.  Foreign policy appears no worse in net (though clearly the withdrawal from the middle eastern theater was premature).  Economic policy is not readily comparable, courtesy of the GFC.  Civil liberties have decayed at pretty much exactly the same rate as before.  I guess one considerable step backwards is no longer being able to regularly chuckle at the head of state's grammatical gaffes.

As for the election, I don't like any of the candidates, and I wish they'd all just walk away and take up competitive crochet or something.

Hillary got the win, but some sources say that 90 counties lost their tallies on the Democratic side.  So who knows how that will change things.  Bernie Sander's camp is saying they want the raw numbers.

I did not think Ted Cruz was going to win.  I didn't think Trump was going too, because he doesn't appeal to the evangelicals as much, but I had no idea Cruz was going to cruse on through with that.  Rubio's speech for coming in third was so optimistic.  He was so happy and I enjoyed seeing that.  It honestly seemed like he had already won the presidency based on his speech and happiness.  I think a second place was humbling for Trump who always wins things.

Hasn't happened to me yet.  Though it was funny clip.


I think it is worth mentioned that Bernie Sanders destroyed Clinton in New Hampshire.

The Republican side was far more complicated.  Donald Trump had a big win, with 35% of the vote.  John Kasich had 15%, Ted Cruz had almost 12%, Jeb Bush had 11%, Marco Rubio had 10.6% and everyone else had less then 10%. 

Since then, Chris Christie pulled out of the race.  He expected far better results then he got in New Hampshire.  Marco Rubio saw the biggest drop, something they didn't plan for after a poor performance in a debate when Christie and others attacked Rubio after his good finish in Iowa.

South Carolina is next for the Republicans and Nevada for the Democrats.

My 4th class teacher says not to be surprised if Trump wins the election. I know that's kinda jumping the gun in a sense, but what do yall think if you don't mind me asking?

Personally, I'm kinda nervous about it. My dad said last election that if Mitt were to get elected, we'd move to Mexico, sooooo I dunno what he's thinking now.

I personally never had any problem with Mitt Romney, but Trump worries me.  I believe he wants to make the country great, I really do.  He is a successful businessman and worked hard to get there.  I think he could be great for the economy, but what I worry most about him is his foreign policy.  I feel he will make his dumb remarks, or insult people without thinking of what he says.  I feel he acts very immature at times.  At the same time, I feel this whole campaign thing could humble him a little bit.  Let us also not forget, Trump is not fully conservative at all.  He might be one of the least conservative Republicans running, especially on social issues.  Granted, he may change his views to rally the Republican base.


Sanders is an honest man if his past record is anything to go by.  The problem is that he is completely psycho radical in his views, and he admits that and says so straight up.  I am just shocked why so many American's are openly willing to vote for a socialist who will try to take this country down that path.  That is beyond me.  I don't want him to be president, but I don't dislike him.  Also, anything he proposed won't likely happen with Congress and the Senate.  So the next thing that worries me is he debt increasing plans, and his lack of a foreign policy. 


America worked pretty hard to fight of socialist tendencies that have caused a lot of strife and issue in Europe.  Sure, we aren't perfect, but socialism is not the answer. 


Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-02-12 17:34:29
I agree with you APD.
Trump worries me, but he understands economics. He's a hard worker. It's funny, when you think about it, the way he's going about his campaign so far is very similar to how Nixon ran his campaign. And we all know he was elected. Trumps foreign policies are worrisome, and I'm sure he will end up offending other countries. But hopefully, it's just a big kinda "act" to get people's attention. Who knows.

As for Bernie, he's very eh. The more people preach about him and try to force you to see how "awesome!" He is is quite frankly, annoying. And it pushes me away from him. Also, his extreme big promises are just so ridiculous I don't understand how anyone believes he can actually accomplish a 1/3 of what he says he plans to do. My friend goes all "oh but it's the idea of what he says he'd do. He said he'd do great things for this country and him saying he'd do all these progressive things will still make people better people" or something along those lines.

Trump becoming president wouldn't make people become bigger racist assholes, and Bernie being elected won't make people suddenly more accepting and open to people in the LGBT community. That's just not what happens.

To be completely honest, I don't think I'd vote for anyone. But if I were forced to... I'd probably go with Trump.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-02-12 17:44:13
The people who buy into Bernie's grand promises are the same people who bought into Obama's grand promises of hope and change.

Turns out all we were left with was change...

if it came down to Bernie or Hillary vs Trump, I would vote Trump.  Trump is not my first choice, but I don't want the other two options. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-02-12 17:46:46
Good read on that article too, LP.  Thanks for sharing and I agree with you.

I will vote.  This country is important to me, and I want to at least try to get it in the right direction.  There are only so many more chances we can keep using up and not having someone point us at least in the right direction.   I do think Trump wants to the country to strive, and hopefully we can at least do that economically and gain allies through that.  I feel he would keep our military strong, and we have commanders and Generals to let him know what is going on.  He can't just point and they go. 

Trump is also not my first choice, but my choices keep getting pushed around.... so we will see what happens.

I suppose I'm just a skeptic. I don't believe when politicians have these great plans. It's always just a let down.
I have no doubt Bernie is a great guy, I just don't think he'd be a good pick for president.
And even then, I think Hillary might be taken out of the race. The FBI have officially stated they are looking into Hillary's email. Like, officially declared it. And since it was pretty obvious what happened was true, she might be facing some pretty big consequences.
Title: Re: Politics

Yeah, I'm glad I found that article. I showed it to my friend (who totally has a man boner for Bernie) and he just handed my phone back quietly. He was one of those people. "You of all people should vote for Bernie! He wants to do great things for people of all races." Me be like: "so... Because I'm Latina I obviously gotta vote for Bernie?".

I'm with you APD. None of these candidates are the best choices there are. It's like that South Park episode, you always have to decide between a douche and a turd sandwich. None of them are ideal, but you have to pick one of them.

No doubt.  She (Mrs. Clinton) better face the consequences for her actions, as well as everyone else involved doing wrong.  The State Dept is also getting involved as of yesterday.  Two separate groups looking into it.

Remember, Trump is not a politician, though you could argue businessmen have to know their tactics and use them on a daily basis for business deals.

Very true about Trump. I feel maybe he'll be more focused on trying to fix and better America before trying to better our relations with the outside. And I'm not sure how I stand on that. On the one hand, we should fix up the issues we have in our own country, but on the other hand, we don't want counties getting pissed off that we're no longer providing aid to them.

No matter what, we would still provide aid.  America as a people is more charitable then any other nation on earth, at last checked (2014?).  Just like on an airplane though, take care of yourself, before you help the person beside you.  Solve our own issues before you help others.  We do need to build up our relations with our allies like Israel.  Obama pretty much gave them the middle finger his entire presidency.  We need to work with our Asian allies and build up our European friends.  Meanwhile China is gaining major friends in Africa through development projects while the US and Europe still focus on aid, and not infrastructure.   This could really make Africa as a whole support China's interests in the long run. 

I believe Trump would be fairly liberal on social issues.

As an admin, I keep my political opinion out of things the best I can. That is why you never see Darrin or I post in these topics. But I will say I know I want a trustworthy leader who can improve world relations with our allies and enemies. We need to improve our economy and deal with growing immigration and race issues that all were exacerbated with our current President. I think we need to find and alternatuve fuel source as well that can ease our dependence on foreign oil, that would also help please the environmentalists and reduce pollution.

While income needs to be addressed for a rising cost of living, we cant get extreme on it. It needs to be done in a smart and sustainable manner. The ongoing issues in the Middle East have to be dealt with and completed before it spreads like a cancer. Russia and North Korea need to be handled properly, and a strong focus on increasing the value of the dollar again so no other currency removes it from prominence.

These are just a few of my ideas.

That has been around for a few years.  It is called ethanol.  Some gas stations you will see sell ethanol 85.  A lot of brands make cars for this, including Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ford, Chevrolet, and GMC.  Some brands have engines specifically made for ethanol 85.  You will also see some cars that read flex-fuel on them. 

Vegetable oil and corn fueled cars is nothing new, and has been a growing thing in the auto industry.

People within the right bashed and slammed Romney for reasons I am still trying to figure out.  Before him there was McCain who was viewed as a weak candidate against, Obama.  It could certainly happen.

CNN is hosting a Republican town hall event right now.

Pope Francis said something rather unfortunate today, implying he did not feel Trump's policies and ideas were Christian.  Well, it isn't the Pope who decides what Trump's relationship is with God.  It is between the individual and God.  Not the Pope.  I respect the Pope greatly, even though I am not Catholic(I am Christian), but I feel he may have misspoke.  Here is a source (http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/18/politics/pope-francis-trump-christian-wall/index.html), but be wary of how CNN spins this article and misquotes to make it sound far worse then it is. 

Jeb Bush and John Kasich have done a great job today in the town hall.  I feel this is were they shine, not bit debate stages.  They are more personal, and it clearly shows.  Jeb teared up at one point talking about his father, and told the crowd before he left that he truly, devoutly cares and loves this country and the people, and he wants to help.  It came off as a very "True" moment.

Kasich was very down to earth and shined.  He hugged a person who he was answering a question too, even consoling.  It was also a very "true" moment.

I interpreted what the Pope said as more, his actions were very unchristian like. Not that Trump was not a Christian. The Pope wanted to say we shouldn't be trying to push other's away.

Of course, what he said can be interpreted many ways, so perhaps there is the misstep.

That actually isn't true.  His rallies are absolutely packed.  Both Trump and Bernie Sanders are known for drawing in massive crowd numbers. Both Trump and Sanders have had multiple rallies of over 10,000 people.  Trump has had some rallies over 20,000 people, while Bernie is reportedly said to have had near 20,000 people in an Oregon rally. 1 (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/12/us/politics/donald-trump-defiantly-rallies-a-new-silent-majority-in-a-visit-to-arizona.html?_r=0),2 (http://time.com/4006494/donald-trump-rally-alabama/),3 (http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/donald-trump-2016-mobile-alabama-rally-ghost-george-wallace-121627),4 (http://jpupdates.com/2016/01/03/trump-15000-supporters-at-rally-largest-in-mississippi-history/),5 (http://nypost.com/2015/08/20/trump-rally-likely-to-be-biggest-primary-event-so-far/), 6 (http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/10/politics/bernie-sanders-portland-rally-19000-2016/index.html).

I don't hate him, he just isn't my first choice.  I also don't like it when he says things he probably shouldn't.  I don't like how he bashes other people in rather childish ways.  But I know he is PERSONALLY a good person.  His employees and colleagues around him say he is genuine and far different in person then how he is when he is in front of a camera.

What they don't show you when they televise his rallies are the back rows, All of which are completely empty

That is necessarily true.  Some events they DO close of sections of stadiums, theaters, and arenas.  But it is well reported that Trump and Sanders draw in huge numbers.  They have thousands enter certain venues. 

Even Kasich, who doesn't draw huge numbers, was thrilled when he drew in 5,000 people to a rally.

Other candidates who don't get as big of numbers, meet in smaller venues, or pad people around the cameras and place them behind the candidates to make the allusion of larger audiences.  You can see this will smaller candidates, and often with Hillary Clinton.

We will just keep narrowing down candidates.  I believe after Super Tuesday, we will see many Republicans drop out.  I think we may even see some before that drop out. 

Ben Carson should probably pull out by now.  Kasich I think has a vague chance of always being third or so.  He could be a viable Vice President who is moderate.

Nevada is currently counting their results from the Republican Caucus.  Democrats had nothing today.


The Donald is currently ahead with 42.7% of the votes.  Very close race for second, Rubio has 24.1% and Cruz 23.5%.  That could easily change with much more counting to go. Rubio was actually in third just up until I wrote this.

When he went down, he really tried to pull Marco Rubio down with him.  It seems this is just a continuation of him trying to do that.

I wasp personally shocked when Rubio started making attacks.  I didn't see him as someone who would do that, but I guess they are forced too.  None of the attacks he did were new, and they have all been known, but they were effective in the debate.  Lets see how much these tactics helped or hurt him.

Right now, Cruz may win Texas, his home state.  Rubio is likely going to lose his home state of Florida.  Trump is going to walk away with a lot of state delegates.  Kasich will probably win Ohio.

PREDICTIONS FOR SUPER TUESDAY

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1705/24621186533_af4ff694c5.jpg)
Donald Trump - He will dominate the Republican side of Super Tuesday.  I don't feel anyone has a chance at slowing him down, even with Rubio's and Cruz's recent attacks.  Nothing can stop "The Donald" right now as he continues to push his agenda with short quips and single liners.  Is he as conservative as he says on television, based on previous evidence from him, but he might have the moderate undertones ended to beat a possible Democratic juggernaut.  Constant support from people continue to make sure Trump dominates news cycles.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2372/2263002210_e1e0008a86.jpg)
Hillary Clinton - Continuing to be plagued by the email scandal and constant low ratings for trustworthiness, I believe Hillary will do very well this Tuesday.  I would be surprised actually if she didn't since there are so many states she would most likely do well with.  Hillary does well with the minority vote, but she isn't swaying as many women voters as she had hoped.  Still I think Hillary will eventually be the Democratic nominee.  She is vulnerable and not as powerful or as unstoppable as we thought even just five months ago.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6082/6147100139_001c7a60d1.jpg)
Bernie Sanders - He has certainly drawn in crowds of young people, but he is also getting the elderly vote.  That is sort of an odd extreme if you think about it.  Sander's strongest states will be north eastern states, but will have a harder time in the south and midwest.  While he still is doing well, it is doubtful the Democratic party wants to fully exclaim they are pushing socialist values, even if they are Democratic Socialist.  In the long run, I feel he won't be able to defeat Hillary this Tuesday or beyond.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8735/16728823889_cd9a4478b5.jpg)
Ted Cruz - While his campaign has certainly been dirty, Cruz is currently the second fiddle to Trump.  Whether people will trust him or not is another story.  If he doesn't come away with a win in Texas, it will be all but a loss this Super Tuesday.  He needs more then one state to keep his campaign on decently solid ground.  Even then, just winning two or three states isn't going to cut it, and I don't see him winning many, if any.  Super Tuesday may be a big shock.  Right now, he just wants delegates. 

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/596/22767832205_303cf4916a.jpg)
Marco Rubio - It is possible Rubio can come away from Super Tuesday with no wins from any state.  But oddly, he can be seen as on a better footing then Cruz because he continues to draw people in to his conservative message.  He can consistently be second or third, and still possibly be on well enough footing to continue on well past Super Tuesday.  The Republican Party seems to want to make Rubio the new golden boy of the party after Jeb Bush's step out.  It will be interesting to see how well the "new" Rubio does in polls after his recent performance in debates and attack stance against Trump.

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1614/25383422475_17d2121973.jpg)
John Kasich - The moderate of the Republican Party that can arguable draw voters from all sides, Kasich isn't a top runner at this point, but is in still a good position with chances of winning Ohio very high.  So far he has not attacked any candidate and continues to draw conservatives, independents, and democrats alike.  He will probably run longer then some of the Republican front runners and be there when the numbers dwindle down.  I could see him a Vice President.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/311/19127101791_764189059c.jpg)
Ben Carson - No one dislikes Carson, the soft spoken and thoughtful retired neurosurgeon, but sadly at this point, his campaign is nothing more then a losing battle.  He can share his good message, but he has no chance at overall victory, let alone Super Tuesday.

I pretty much agree with how you summed that up, Silverwing.  I see Rubio and Cruz getting snubbed completely.  Though there will be glimmers of hope for them in various states.  I see Kasich picking up his home state and possibly other states he has really focused on. 

Very nice sum up, and the pictures were a nice touch. 

That picture of Hillary makes me think of Germany's, Angela Merkel.

You could say this of the Presidential candidates. Whatever you think of Trump, he's a lively one, and a bit of a hothead, which makes  his every debate a verbal joust. He doesn't mince words, which I like.  A welcome change from past elections and guys like John McCain, who had all the personality of a sucked orange, or George W. Bush, who at times came off as Tweedledum to Al Gore's Tweedledee. Sometimes I close my eyes and think I've actually gone back in time  to 1992... we've got a Bush, a Clinton, and a firebrand rich guy running for the White House.

Yeah he did say something like that.  I don't know the full gist of it, but I heard that.

The Hillary camp is trying to paint Bernie as sexist right now too because during the debate in Michigan the other day, Hillary interrupted him then he said, "Hold on, I am talking, let me finish."  They are painting that as Bernie trying to push Hillary aside because she is a woman.  I watched that debate, and I only viewed him doing what pretty much anyone does when they get interrupted.  Let the guy finish is all he was trying to do.

I personally do not think he was being sexist in anyway.  If a male counterpart had interrupted him, he would have done the same thing.  I don't think there is anything in this clip, that is worth noting.  Though as I said, the Hillary camp and her supporters and trying to stir the pot with this.  The Clinton Foundation is a powerful thing.

I'm gonna have to agree.  I think Sanders was just showing he won't be pushed aside.  You need a strong leader.  We've seen candidates do this forever.

So how come if anyone attacks Hillary, it is considered sexist or hate?  What about how the Democrats and others viscously attacked Sarah Palin years ago, or what about how they recently attacked Carly Fiorinna?  How come if you are a Democrat, you get a free pass to some of this stuff?

Trump responds to critics tying him to being like Adolf Hitler (http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/08/politics/donald-trump-adolf-hitler-comparison-response/index.html). 

"Recently, Trump has started asking voters to raise their right hand and pledge to support him -- creating an image that some have argued evokes the rise of Adolf Hitler.  Trump discussed the issue in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"I say jokingly, 'Raise your hand if you swear to endorse me,' " he said. "The entire place is practically laughing and having a good time. They're raising their hands in the form of a vote, not in the form of a salute."

The CNN Republican debate in Miami ended and took a completely different tone then the Detroit debate.  Everyone for the most part was civil.  Rubio in an interview yesterday apologized for his recent attacks on Trump and said that didn't reflect his views or who he was as a person.  In this debate, Rubio played a clean debate and did not attack Trump or anyone for that matter and stud with what people voted for him for in the for first place.  He answered questions directly and looked at the voters through the tv.

Cruz still did some attacks on Trump, but had a safe debate.  Cruz tried real hard to appeal to the Rupublican base and worked up his recent support from Carly Fiorinna.

Trump looked different tonight, and was actually somewhat dull, but played a safe debate and did more detailed responses then he has ever done.  He had a good debate.

John Kasich had a good debate and gave straight forward answers, and talked about his experience and how he would fix the country.

Sources show Trump leading in polls now, Cruz dropping slightly, Rubio and Kasich blending as one.

Bryan Pagliano, a former State Department employee who helped set up and maintain a private email server used by Hillary Clinton, has gotten immunity.  He is supposedly a "devastating witness[url]" to the Hillary campaign as more info is revealed.  I wonder how this will turn out.

I am sure there is a lot the public doesnt know about Trump. The uniformed just go off what they see in headlines about him, or anyone. Safly most of the country just scrapes the tip of the ice burg and only pics a few key issues the media tells them to, and that is what they follow. They dont even dig into the issues to get well informed.

I'm interested to see what he does in the run up to the general election (assuming he's the Republican candidate).  I anticipate that he'll abandon some of his more transparently silly ideas/claims once he no longer needs to specifically court his current support base.  Candidates always return to the center for a general election and unlike, say, Cruz, he's not a principled extremist but rather very much a populist.  I wonder how much whiplash that will cause for his current core support base?  Or whether they'll mostly stick to his brand over his policies?  Or indeed, whether they never actually cared that deeply about such policies, and that those types of policy exist purely as political shibboleths?

Trump supporters are generally well informed. They listen to all his debates and stuff, not just what the media tells them he said with their twists.

That's something my Trump supporter friends (and I) find really annoying about Trump haters at my school. Most of them don't even listen to his debates and stuff and just hate him because the media tells them too.

Lots of Trump rallies getting wild and violent protesters now that are fully anti Trump and trying to ruin his rallies. Police taking drastic measures in some cases.

Marco Rubio answered a question today if he would support the Republican Nominee, he responded, ''I dont know, it is getting harder everyday.'' He said it in a rather defeated tone.

John Kasich is leading in polls in Ohio.

President Obama is in Cuba today, first president to do so in nine decades.

You will get the generic responses from Trump haters. 

"Didn't you read what he said about Muslims?"

"He wants to build a wall and block all Mexicans and outsiders!"

"He's racist!"

"He supports the KKK!"

I guess you get generic responses from Bernie haters too.

Here is a quick snippet of the Secret Service swarming Donald Trump as a protesters tries to attack Trump.  Sort of interesting to see how the Secret Service does their thing.  They all wear those really big long black trench coats, pretty crazy!  It's real.


Also something that is really sad are the comments by people in this video.  The younger generation dominates social media, Youtube included.  The younger demographic, for the most part, is liberal and touts being inclusive to all.  Look at those Youtube comments.  Look at them.  Someone in the comments tells the protesters to try a sniper rifle next time, "they should have gone with a sniper rifle".  Another says, "keep going at him, eventually you will get him."  Another person just stats they hate how many people show up to Trump's rallies.  Still, another person simply wishes Trump support in their post.  The person who replies to this person says, "go hang yourself."

What kind of world do we live in?  What is with these horrible things people say hidden behind their computer screens.  I am sick of it, and it saddens me to be truthful with you.

As well, thought it is not a harsh attack, John Kasich has finally named Donald Trump by name in his latest piece.  He is saying Donald Trump has created a "toxic environment."

Kasich has run a clean campaign this entire time, so this is an interesting video as he spells out just what he thinks of this campaign.  FOX News reports that Kasich is leading ohio 34% to Trump's 29%.  Of course this is not enough to win the election for Kasich, but it could be enough to prohibit Trump from getting enough delegates to be nominated by the Republican Party.



Meanwhile our Comedian in Chief mocks Donald Trump.  8 years of this man, and our country has become more divided then ever.

I did a quick tally.  Each time a persons name was mentioned, I marked it down.  If a person was clearly the subject of a post, but not named, I counted it as a tally.  I did not count quotes with people's names as a tally.  I was surprised by the results and how little a lot of candidates are actually being talked about by us.  Also higher polled Republican's like Cruz and Rubio were talked less by us then Kasich.  Sanders and Clinton barely topped our mentions of Trump alone.  We apparently don't talk about Obama much.

We have a very diverse group of people here, and reading your viewpoints and how some have grown, dwindled, and changed in this short span shows how exciting this race is.  For example, at least two Hispanics on this site have differing opinions of one person.  One doesn't follow a stereotype here, another may.  Someone mentions the elections of the early 90s and how similar they are.  This is a fun topic to follow.  We talk about a lot.  Plus, NO fights yet. :)  Richard Nixon was mentioned a lot, though I didn't tally him.

So below are the results.  How many mentions for each person in this topic alone.

Republicans

Donald Trump - 57
John Kasich - 16
Ted Cruz - 14
Marco Rubio - 14
Ben Carson - 8
Chris Christie - 5
Jeb Bush - 4
Mitt Romney - 3

Democrats

Bernie Sanders - 32
Hillary Clinton - 28
Barack Obama - 4

I'm watching the video you posted APD, at what point does somebody try to attack Trump? I just see the SS jump in after a few people start yelling. But it's pretty cool how fast they can swoop in and surround Trump. They're good at what they do.

Anyway, my criticism of Bernie is his whole thing on economics. The way he comes off makes it seem he doesn't understand how economics works. I've only heard people deny he's a socialist when in arguments. Like I've mentioned before, all the Trump supporters I know are very cool headed, good people who don't care who you support. All the Bernie supporters I know are... Buttholes.

You can't see the person attacking in the video, but it is the very beginning.  The camera isn't on it.

This article (http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/973564.shtml) is a propaganda piece from the Global Times in China.  It seems like they hate Trump.

Presumably because he's not an election candidate?  And I guess his term was unspectacular, but also not entirely awful?

Who here remembers his preemptive Nobel Peace Prize?  Haw haw haw!  What a joke!

In so far as socialism means not-capitalism, I don't think he's a socialist.  In so far as it means a welfare state and state-owned utilities, probably yes?  But the welfare state is ultimately a capitalist structure, and only "socialist" in a very colloquial sense.  Perhaps "democratic socialism" is a correct term for this, though it's a confusing term because it is, once again, /not actually socialism/, but rather a form of capitalism.

Political terminology is hopelessly broken.

I'm confident that the bureaucracy would never let his most implausible measures come to pass (like 100% free University) but he may be able to strike useful compromises (like income-contingent student loan repayments).  He also seems to be the least socially authoritarian candidate, and since civil liberties are the issue nearest & dearest to me, that earns him a lot of points in my book.  I agree that single-payer healthcare is not likely to be cost-effective in America; the fundamental issue is that American healthcare is wildly expensive compared with the rest of the OECD, and I do not think the environment is such that a single-payer body could muster sufficient leverage to bring the pharmaceutical and medical equipment industries (and doctors!) to heel.  I'm also not confident that a massive increase in the minimum wage would work well in America; my reading has lead me to be tentatively supportive of Basic Income (a flat, universal, unconditional baseline income) but it's not been sufficiently studied at this point.

That said, if the Illuminati dropped by today and told me that I'd been randomly picked to be the citizen who must immediately choose the next President out of all current candidates, I'd probably pick Sanders.  fwiw, I'm not in the least offended by anyone who supports anyone else.

Trump would probably be my Republican pick, assuming he knocks off the minority bashing and immigration scaremongering once his nomination is secure.  I do not truly know how large an "if" that is, but I hope and suspect it's a small one.

Buuuut my overriding feeling still stands: that we'd be best off if all current candidates quit the field and took up extreme mini-golf.

Today is a super Tuesday of sorts, so lets see who stays in and who goes out. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-03-15 16:13:09
SUPER TUESDAY II

Today is a new Super Tuesday II, and it has major implications for people on both parties!  Lets check it out below and see my predictions.  Five states are in the running this time, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Missouri and Illinois.  In take all states, certain winners can stop Trump from winning his delegates come the Republican convention.

MARCO RUBIO

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1559/25629774975_881af20e31.jpg)

This is huge.  Even though Rubio's camp has not said they would pull out of the race if they lose Florida, it would be a major blow no matter what if he loses his home state.  He has said that he will wait till Utah which is coming later.  At this point, I don't see Rubio winning any of the states tonight, not his home state.  I don't see how he can legitimize staying in the race.  His biggest momentum decrease came when he started bashing Trump, equally as hard.  While some would argue he was winning that bashing game, it really hurt his image and his voters moved away, and as polls are showing, many went to Kasich.  There was hope that Kasich supporters would help support Rubio so he could legitimize his win in Florida, but the Kasich camp said no.  Similarly, the Kasich camp says they don't want Rubio to tell his voters to vote for Kasich in Ohio.  Said they wanted to win fair and square.

JOHN KASICH

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1481/25491099072_f8d6cecc14.jpg)

A major night for John Kasich.  He needs to win Ohio, his home state.  While this won't propel him to the top, it is a large amount of delegates, and if Rubio happens to step out of the race, he would need to acquire the Rubio delegates.  His win could also put a hold on Trump winning enough delegates by the convention.  This week, Kasich has finally spoken out against the "toxic environment" (http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/03/12/john-kasich-calls-donald-trump-toxic-in-wake-of-chicago-protests/) that has occurred around Trump rallies.  He says he has run a clean campaign and will continue forward, hoping that people still respect honesty, morales, and values.  Trump has already blasted Kasich, for the first time, on his "toxic environment" comment.  Earlier in the election, Trump showed much respect and admiration for Gov. Kasich.  I expect Kasich to win Ohio, and only Ohio.  Oddly, if you look at counties bordering Ohio in other states, they have mostly all been Trump wins, and could be a bad sign coming into this Tuesday night.  He needs this win to stay in the race.

TED CRUZ

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1509/25600831116_c22b4da6c2.jpg)

I expect Cruz to win Missouri.  He is popular with the evangelical voters and that is what Missouri is.  He may also have a strong showing in North Carolina, but overall, tonight is not huge for Cruz as he is still riding the wave of support from previous state wins.  Though he needs to look ahead at upcoming states and see if he can pick up wins outside the Bible-belt. 

DONALD TRUMP

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1486/25277020242_4edfa71a61.jpg)

Overall he will probably win Florida, Illinois, and North Carolina.  He has a good chance to win Ohio and Missouri.  He could win every single state possibly.  The Trump brand has done nothing but expand, even as the media and social media outlets get more negative on him.  Recently crowds of younger college-aged people have been trying to disrupt and stop, Trump rallies.  A major event planned in Chicago was cancelled by Trump due to over a 1,000 protesters.  Whether Trump wins two or more states, he will continue to do well in polls unless he does something horrible to his own image.  Only Trump can take down Trump at this point.

BERNIE SANDERS

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1473/25557935221_e0134a35ff.jpg)

Sanders has shown he can keep going and will keep going.  His camp says he has enough money to go on for some time.  Today, Sanders noted that he would have ran as an Independent (http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/03/bernie-sanders-independent-media-coverage-220747), but said he would have gotten no media attention, so he ran as a Democrat.  It is likely Sanders will pull off a surprise win, but if he doesn't, he has a good chance at winning California, Oregon, and Washington, as those three states get nearer.  Bernie did release his tax plan (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/03/04/sanders-tax-plan-would-raise-15-3-trillion-to-fund-new-spending/), which would see the a tax increase average of $9,000 per household, but wealthy earners would see the largest jump in their tax bill. Wealthier people outside the middle class bracket would see a 45% increase in their taxes.

HILLARY CLINTON

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1500/25769413106_8a92d610a6.jpg)

After a recent gaffe by Clinton (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3493303/Clinton-says-Libya-intervention-different-Iraq-didn-t-lose-single-person.html) saying the U.S. lost no lives in Libya, she has her husband, Bill Clinton, moving forward with more rallies for her.  Right now Hillary has far more votes if you include her super delegates, but without her super delegates, she only leads Sanders by 200 some delegates.  The super delegates may changes, and are support to vote based on what the people want, not what the super delegate themselves wants, though that does not seem to be the case.  Hillary has to still worry about the surprise wins Sanders may be able to get.  He did it last week with Michigan, and could easily pull off a win again tonight.

Marco Rubio steps out of the run for presidency in a rather embarrassing defeat to Donald Trump in his home state of Florida.  No doubt, the senator will be part of the Republican party's future, but this is not his year.  During his run, Rubio won three nominating contests, Minnesota, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia.

This will be interesting.  At this point, with Kasich still in the game, he will be a thorn in Cruz's side.  He will continue to take delegates from Cruz and continue to allow Trump to win.

Hillary has taken out the Bern.  Hillary will be the Democrat candidate unless something insane happens or the FBI steps in.

Nancy Reagan was someone I respected.  People can give her hard time if they want, but she did things with grace, respect, and was a very honorable First Lady.  She had stride, she was caring, passionate, but also loved the finer things in life.  She was a good woman, and I would say, a good role model for children, families, that hopefully will last for generations to come.

Cruz dominated in Utah.  He got huge numbers.  I found Utah rather interesting because Trump has yet to win a state by such a large margin as over 50%.    Ted Cruz took nearly 70% of the vote in Mormon heavy, Utah.  John Kasich took second place with 17% of the vote, and Trump was way back in last place with 14% of the vote.  Wow! 

The west does not like big government and is different in thinking then the east and midwest, but I didn't expect Trump to loose to badly in Utah.  Cruz really did "cruz" to victory.  He earned 40 delegates.

On the Democratic end, Sanders DESTROYED, pummeled, made Hillary look like she didn't contend in Utah.  Sanders got 79.7% of the Utah voters  He earned 24 of the 29 delegates.  Hillary got 19.8% of the vote.

In Idaho as well, Sanders dominated.  He got 17 of 22 delegates and 78% of the vote.  Hillary got 21%.  I am just shocked, a rather conservative state like Idaho, had that many Bernie supporters.  Am I missing something?  Besides Boise, which is a very small city, Idaho is all rural with a few towns dotted around.

Sanders will also visit Oregon for the first time, in Portland (http://www.opb.org/news/article/bernie-sanders-portland-oregon-friday/) on Friday after his Seattle visit. 

Hillary Clinton was in Washington State (http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/live-updates-from-hillary-clintons-visit-to-seattle/) today.  She met with workers in Everett at the Boeing facility there, then moved on to some other small towns and ended in Seattle.  Union workers are a huge draw to her, which would explain her visit to Everett, since it is the headquarters of Boeing. 

The Pacific Northwest is getting hit hard by these campaign stalwarts now.  We will see how important this region may play especially to the Republicans if it is still Trump, Cruz, and Kasich in the running.

Come on Mr. President! The world has gotten more messed up.  We got ISIS and groups like it chanting for the fall of Western Civilization.  They want us dead.  They want Europe gone, they was Israel missing.  Let us not forget the nuclear deal disaster with Iran and of course the ever looming issue of North Korea.

I have no words for this.  None.  *Shakes head.*

Washington will be interesting.  Hillary will get a lot of union workers from Boeing, sure, but Sanders will get a lot of the rich and white in Seattle.  It is a mostly white and Asian region with high incomes and wealthy people.  I think Seattle has among the highest concentration of millionaires in the country.  Overall I think it will be a Sanders win in Washington and Oregon.

There is so much going down right now in the world.  Mr. President Obama's statements are not right in this situation.  I can understand his view on not wanted to appear his plans were altered due to an attack, but this is not the time.  Something has to be done to stop this radical rise, though is there a way to stop ISIS?  I don't know.  I don't think there is.  These are small cells throughout the world, that are not tied directly to some massive ISIS organization.  There is no one head to cute off of ISIS.  We can kill top people, but there is just someone else someplace else in the world who will do things with their cell.

Some more concrete issues that can be stopped in more traditional means are forces with governments.  In theory, you know North Korea can be stopped by destroying it's government.  You can see that, you know who is in charge.  You don't know who is in charge with ISIS because they don't follow the confines of a border.  They are transnational.

Donald Trump's campaign manager has been arrested for battery of a reporter.  The video is below.  Look for the woman with long hair in the yellow/white shirt.  He squeezes through and shoves her, as well as many other reporters, aside.  The reporters name is Michelle Fields.

(You can ignore the guy talking, but you can see the video)

I don't see how this is simple battery.  I don't see how this makes someone get arrested. I've seen far worse, and this guy did nothing but squeeze through.  She moved back and didn't even seem to care.

LASTLY.... This is still politics related, even if it is a former President.  I found this tasteless and wanted to share it.  Where is the respect to those in office and those who have served?  I will share a snippet of the article and you can read it all in the link.  While you may not agree with George W. Bush necessarily, doesn't mean you have to be a jerk on social media about it.  Was posting it online supposed to be behind his back?  Clearly he will have seen this article by now and probably feel much differently about coming back to that restaurant. 

"Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura were satisfied with their service at a restaurant last week — so much so the they took a photo with the waitress and left her a hearty $40 tip on the measly $21.47 bill.

But for some reason, their server, Leisa Smith, decided to pay them back by sharing the snap with a tasteless 9/11 caption directed at Bush on her Twitter page.

“Bush did 911 but he did me a solid and left me a hella tip #” Smith wrote in the now deleted tweet containing a photo of her, George W. and Laura at the restaurant, the location of which is unknown.

She was more tame on the Facebook post about the encounter, commenting “as a liberal I enjoyed the experience itself more than the political aspect.”

Clinton struggled when she yelled at a reporter, and is just losing touch with people.  Bernie is riding a wave right now and is trying to make more feel the bern.

But lets give credit where it is due.  Ted Cruz is trying to reach out more and make himself more likable.  If you watch, he has changed his tone some, and is trying to warm up.  He has a new ad campaign too.  Kasich . . . well is message is starting to make inroads with more voters.  He got a good amount of voters in Wisconsin, at 20%.

Title: Re: Politics

The federal government cannot force states to vote a certain way.  Some states do a caucus, some do primaries.  Each state is different.  In August of 2015, Colorado decided they would hold a convention, but choose their nominee based on several meeting delegates have.  So the delegates themselves choose who they want as the nominee.  There was still a Colorado State Republican convention that people attended and shared views, but there was no vote from those in attendance.  The vote was left up to the delegates through a series of meetings.  Ted Cruz won fair and square based on Colorado's GOP rules.

Ted Cruz had many speeches and planned events in Colorado including newspaper articles and air time.  Donald Trump, according to the records, never had planned any ads or even a newspaper article in the state.  It wasn't until last week that Donald Trump's campaign actually had a worker in the state trying to appeal to delegates.  Fact of the matter is, the Ted Cruz campaign was planned and organized for Colorado's style of "election."  Trump's campaign waited till the week of the election and scrambled to slap something together and it failed miserably. 

Colorado Democrats do not follow this style delegate race that the Republican's do.

But watch, all the femanazi's on Tumblr are going to be up in arms about how the "patriarchy" is against woman's rights and that that man should have gotten a life sentence for even DARING to lay a hand on a woman. Smh.


The prosecutor, a registered Democrat who likes Hillary, said there was nothing illegal done by Trump's aide.  The main investigator, a lady, also said there was nothing Trump's aide did wrong.

I saw that thing on TODAY with Trump.  He didn't sound very conservative. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: yasl on 2016-04-24 17:21:57
Well, he's not.  He's really only ever beat the big ethnocentrism/nationalism drums for the duration of the campaign, because he saw an unrepresented demographic that he could capture.  And he's never really positioned himself as being against self-determination, so it's not a shock that supports anti-authoritarian positions on abortion and gender identity.

He's savvy, and he's not really interested in the traditional red tribe / blue tribe political packages, despite the last 2 decades seeing a steady increase in political polarization.  That's why I'm so interested in seeing him move into a general election.

Perhaps it's wrong to turn something so important into a spectacle sport, but to be fair, they started it.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Darrin on 2016-04-25 11:19:18
Something that is certainly going to be a spectacle though is both the Republican and Democratic conventions.

Trump has no delegate game that Cruz has been building up.  If Trump can't win the delegate count, it is very possible Cruz will come the second vote.  This would lead to a massive explosion that could lead to fires at the convention.  At least one side, the "No Trump," or "Trump" supporters will feel disenfranchised.  It could seal the deal for a Democrat to win another 4 years.  New voters who came up to support Trump, will feel betrayed upon.  Kasich crew has no chance here.  They can't even be considered in a second vote because they haven't won 8 states.  Not sure why they are in the election right now.

For the Democrats, it is very similar and growing.  More and more we see that Hillary will probably not get in trouble for the email scandal before the election, so if Bernie stays in the race come convention time, I don't know how many Bernie supporters will jump over to Hillary's side?  No matter what, it will be off-putting to many Democrats who are left with Hillary or Bernie.

Lets not forget, since we are running both of these parties to the wire, they will have to probably state their Vice President picks at the conventions!

Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-05-14 15:08:07
So now that Donald Trump is all who is left on the Republican side, it seems we won't have a contested convention.

Now all the worry lies with the Democrats.  Bernie Sanders is still beating Hillary Clinton in local races.  Up next on Tuesday is the Oregon and Kentucky primaries.  Bernie is expected to win in Oregon, though local reports are now showing Clinton could win in Oregon.  Kentucky is supposed to be a Clinton win, but a poll there now shows Sanders leading Clinton. 

Clinton is 700 delegates away from Sanders due to her Super Delegates.  Without them, she is only 300 ahead.  Even still, is Clinton really who most Democrats want?  Is Clinton able to compete against the Republican or would Sanders be better? 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-05-18 08:56:05
Bernie Sanders wins in Oregon by a large margin, and Hillary is barely winning Kentucky.  I think it is safe to say she won though.

Even with the delegates Bernie keeps winning, he probably can not catch up to Hillary unless something happens to her, such as her email scandal. 

Just about a two weeks ago, President Obama made fun of Republicans, saying they would have a contested convention.  Well, if Bernie's words are true, it will be the Democrats who have a contested election coming up. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-05-18 14:37:37
Who knows how long Mr. Sanders plans to stay in.  He does claim he wants to be in till the convention.  It might force Clinton to maybe choose him as a running mate?  I know she does not want too, but there will be big pressure from the youth/Bernie supporters.  Already the young Bernie supporters tore up a Nevada convention hall when Hilary won their state after a quick change in results gave Hilary the win. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-05-24 10:13:15
We are finishing up the west.  Today is Washington State's Primary.  This event is different then other state's because people can choose either Republican or Democrat (even though a Democratic caucus was held earlier and gave the win to Bernie), but they must choose a political faction.  The results for this state primary only count for the Republican party and is worth a sizable 44 delegates.  It should go to Donald Trump, but there are reports that at a state Republican event last week, the majority of people there were unhappy Ted Cruz supporters.  We will see how this translates after the votes are counted, which are done by mail. 

Washington has both a presidential primary and a caucus system, but Democrats will ignore the results of Tuesday's primary, having chosen to continue to use the party caucus system to allocate their national convention delegates. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders handily won the Democratic caucuses in March.

Even though Donald Trump is the only candidate remaining in the GOP contest, John Kasich and Ted Cruz are still on the ballot because they suspended their campaigns after the ballots were printed. Ben Carson is still on the ballot because he never submitted a withdrawal of candidacy.

After Washington State, we have the last big stop; California.  That will be on June 7th and will give 452 delegates to the Democrat winner (highly skewed to keep establishment Democrats at top).  The Republicans have 172 delegates to fight for in the Golden State, which is a lot, but not skewed as as the Democratic race.  At this point, the race could be very messy for the Democratic candidates as they both could win right now.  Hilary has also rejected to debate Bernie Sanders on FOX, and says she will not attend.  This is the second time she has rejected a FOX News debate.  The first time, she caved and actually did the debate last minute with Sanders.  This time it is likely she will not cave and debate Sanders. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-05-25 10:23:47
Washington State was interesting.  Donald Trump not only won Washington state’s primary in a landslide with around 76% of the statewide vote, but he won every single one of the 39 counties.  John Kasich got the next most votes around 15% with Ted Cruz getting around 10%.  So I think this was Trump's biggest victory ever. 

On the Democrat side, we see how different primaries and caucuses are.  Washington had a caucus earlier this year and Sanders won.  Clinton won this primary in Washington with over 53 percent of the vote statewide and won more than 20 counties across the state. During March’s caucuses, Sanders won all 39 counties and picked up more than 70 percent of the caucus vote.  Washington State Democrats choose to ignore the primary vote by Democrats and only accept the caucus votes. 

It is reported that more voters participated in the May primary, more than 650,000 voters who identify as Democrat. By comparison, under 500,000 voters who identify as Republican voted. Additional ballots will be counted today still in this state of over 7 million. 

The difference in results will no doubt reignite the debate over caucus versus primary, as it should in all states still debating with this issue.

So next is a big lump of states and California on June 7th.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Rainberry on 2016-05-25 10:38:39
So based off what you guys have said, it seems like a PRIMARY is a more accurate way of seeing what your state wants, since people actually vote.  Not just representatives sent to a caucus. 
Title: Re: Politics

Title: Re: Politics

So today is the last day of primary season and we got several states choosing their pic.

The Associated Press and many other news sources, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC, all have said they will give the official win to Hillary Clinton.  This is a hours (a day before for the AP) any results have even been turned in.  California is a close race with either candidate winning. 

Super delegates vote at the Democratic convention, so right now the Tumblr-verse of liberals and social justice warriors are really hoping that California can get the wide margin of victory Sanders had in Alaska and Washington caucus, so that those delegates can pledge to him instead of Clinton.  While this is highly unlikely, it is fun to watch Tumblr freak out.

FOX News has said they will not declare a winner until the ballots are counted, though it is likely Clinton will claim the nomination after the votes have been counted.

This will be maddening to anyone who even remotely follows politics.  It appears only the small people get charged for doing crimes, but if in politics, you are completely fine.

FBI recommends no charges against Clinton in email probe (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/fbi-recommends-no-charges-against-clinton-in-email-probe-225102).

"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is information that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information," Comey told reporters in Washington, D.C., noting that the probe has found that the former secretary of state used several different email servers and numerous devices during her time in office.
Story Continued Below
Even so, Comey added later, “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before deciding whether to bring charges."

Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said the campaign was happy the FBI probe was now in the rearview mirror. "We are pleased that the career officials handling this case have determined that no further action by the Department is appropriate,” Fallon said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon. “As the Secretary has long said, it was a mistake to use her personal email and she would not do it again. We are glad that this matter is now resolved."

Please note, it wasn't until about two weeks ago Clinton ever admitted to wrong doing.  Before that, she lied several times saying she never did anything wrong.

I was about to enter a store today (in the big city) and the sign out front read "No Nazi's, Republican's, or Trump Supporters."  I turned away and left.  They aren't getting my money whether or not I am any of those things.

Trump has failed to return from the woods post-primaries, as I'd rather hoped he might :(

Clinton or Trump.  What a choice!

So, um.  Do I back the Libertarian candidate?  He seems mostly harmless, I guess?  Or have I just not heard enough about him yet?

That's disgusting.  Runaway partisanship is one of the largest blights currently afflicting US politics.  Lumping Nazis and Republicans together is clearly ridiculous.  And excluding segments of the population from a business is hideous and shameful.

Hillary would probably choose Bernie... Madoff.  Bernie Madoff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Madoff). 

Kidding, she would probably choose Elizabeth Warren, but I am not sure if she wants to have two women in the top spots as it might turn some people off.  If she actually choose Bernie Sanders, it might be best for her getting Bernie supporters.  I don't know who she will choose since she hasn't narrowed it down for us to know.

Trump should probably choose Newt Gingrich or Mike Pence.  I think he will choose Pence.

He was not booed at.  His supporters at the DNC cheered him for four minutes straight.  It is when Bernie said that the party needs to unite behind Hillary, he got booed directed at that statement and towards Hillary.  He was honorable and still supported her, but he surely feels stepped on by the Democratic party.  He was right, it was rigged.

The Republican Convention in Cleveland freely allowed demonstrators to demonstrate.  There were no chain link fences or walls.

The Democratic Convention has TWO walls built, blocking the demonstrators.  One is chain link and the other is a thick wall that you can't see through.

Much to the embarrassment of the Democratic Party, not a single American flag was present in the building or on stage for the first night.  By the second day, thanks to a FOX News report, the DNC ordered American flags to be placed around the convention.  Before the the flags were brought in, the only American Flags that were in the building were brought in by FOX News Staff for their news room.

Ewwww....

I will note this now.  So the DNC did forget to put American flags up... but as of tonight, Obama is the first person to bring up ISIS and terrorists.  No one in the DNC has said the traditional, "God Bless America."  No one has shown support for the law enforcement outside their convention.  I have watched nearly everything, so these are some points I feel that are worth noting. 

What has been brought up though, in line with Democratic supporters who will love all of this, is income equality, equal rights for women, breaking of the glass ceiling, freedom of religion and free for all illegals to enter and start a new life (As illegals, then overtime become legal).  All equal rights in marriage equality as well.  Claims of the lowest unemployment in decades (not true).  20 million new health care patients on the federal medical care system. 

No mention of military power or strength, besides Obama tonight who touted simply they are "the best fighting force the world has ever known."  The closest he got to mentioning ISIS was calling them ISIL and how he is weakening them, in a one line sentence, which was quickly glossed over to move on to Hillary's positives in working around military personnel. 

Meanwhile on the Republican side, Donald Trump jokingly Tweeted out that he hopes Russia can find Hillary's missing 30,000 emails and reveal them.  Funny to Republican's maybe, but I think someone should just tell him to stop Tweeting so he won't mess up and say the wrong things.

She did fine.  She said what she needed to say and gave a strong performance.  As with Trump who did a stellar job with his and said all he needed to say.  It just depends on if you believe what they say.  I felt more like Hillary was going through talking points and trying to appease everyone on her bucket list, like how a NASCAR driver names off every sponsor they can when they win.

The reason this becomes political is because of this; does the navy really need to name non military/government people on their ships, or is this more of a political move on their part?  Let it be known, the navy has named ships after a women's rights activist before too. 

So maybe this is a good thing for recognition.  Note, none of these ships are active warships.  This new ship will be military sealift command fleet oiler (http://www.msc.navy.mil).

The way my friend counter rebuttes the "all lives matter" argument is this:

"Imagine four people are at a restaurant. Everyone but Tom gets his food, and he says "Tom deserves food". And then everyone else says "we all deserve food". Well yeah, that may be true but that doesn't change the fact that Tom doesn't have any f*cking food."

I told him that was a stupid analogy because it implies African Americans don't have the same rights we do or something like that.

Well, you could take it to silly extremes.  Like, because all lives matter, you shouldn't take antibiotics and murder all those poor innocent germs.  Yeah, nah.  "All Lives Matter" is still a fairly decent rebuttal, or at least no worse than what it rebuts.  The problem with #BLM is the implied exclusion, which enough of their members seem to have taken to heart; see the university library invasion for example.  "Black Lives Matter Too" would've gone a fair ways to prevent this sort of friction.  Might sound semantic, but words do have power.

Trump is now behind Hillary in most polls by double digits.

Trump is screwing up pretty royally.  He is acting immature and un-presidential.  When it comes time to vote, are people going to vote for an unknown who seems to change on a whim, or vote for "more of the same" in Hillary.  Even though "more of the same" might bring this country down even further, it might be seen as the safe bet compared to an orange many who's temperament changes every other day.  Still, a large portion of the country wants to give him a chance.  HE better prove he is worth giving a chance, and get on topic, stay focused, and start acting mature. 

When it comes to debates, thought Hillary may be untruthful, she can spin stuff so well, and people will believe it.  She will do great in the debates.

“My family had a lake home in Maine since 1900, but we hadn’t had the time to go there in recent years — especially since my parents passed away,” she said. “We finally let go of it and that enabled us to buy a place in the islands — something I’ve always hoped for.”

Or to clarify further:
http://gazette.com/bernie-sanders-just-bought-a-third-home-tell-that-to-the-99-percent/article/1582383
"The Sanders family recently sold a lake house in Maine that had been passed down from O'Meara's side of the family. The sale enabled them to buy the new home"
Sanders' presidential campaign is sitting on quite a bit of money. As of July 21, the Federal Election Committee reported $7.8 million cash on hand between his campaign committee and outside groups. Those funds are not eligible for personal expenditures.

I mean, if you spend most of your time in D.C., anyhow, just call that your permanent residence.  Or, do what a lot of folks who travel for work do and live out of your suitcase.  There are some nice, moderately-priced hotels in Washington, I imagine... or Sanders could rent a house a few months a year during the busy season.

Is his family living on one or both houses, or do his kids have their own places to own/rent? Does he rent out the property to tenants for part of the year for extra cash? Does he declare this added income? Is this a cost-effective way of doing things?

I thought the outrage was over the belief that he'd spent campaign donations to add to the total numbers of houses he owned.  Since that doesn't appear to be the case after all, do all elected representatives need to justify their assets, or just this one guy?  I'm just trying to keep up with where the goalposts are moving.

It's not really "control of the internet".  "Control of domain names" is probably more accurate.  To what extent that's the "Internet" is debatable (though it certainly is important for the web as commonly used).

Routing, the really #1 important thing, has been held together by the international community of grumpy sysadmins shouting at each other for decades now.

Oddly, at Trump's meeting in Mexico yesterday before his big immigration speech in Arizona, the two mutually agreed a wall would benefit both Mexico and the US.  Something most people don't know is that Mexico has a wall on most of their southern border blocking immigrants from Latin America.

I am surprised at how fast and sudden these health issues have just hoped on.  Not just for the security of the country, but for her own health, she should step out of the race if this continues to be a serious problem.  There are plenty of other Democrats who would and could gladly step in her place.  Some with major recognition who would do it.  Heck, I bet Bernie would jump right in, or maybe Biden.  You know he wanted too, but was held back by Obama and the Clinton's, who told him to wait.

Donald the Trump laid out his very detailed plan on maternity leave, women's rights, and family rights.  It was very in depth in how it would be paid for.  So far, Trump has been the only person actually outlining plans.  He will go over his complete economic plan this Friday at an event. 

Meanwhile Hillary's camp claims she will come back to work on Thursday.  Her camp is all over the place too.  Some are claiming they were sick before Hillary, and that their sicknesses all spread to Hillary.    But most pneumonia's are not contagious, so their stories (lies) are all not making sense.  They also potentially risked her life by not taking her to the hospital.  There reasoning was they didn't want people to know Hillary's health condition which would have been made public if she went to a hospital.  She was diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday, but the camp didn't have any plans to the tell the public anytime soon according to various reports.

I'm mad.  Here we are, the second night in a row of riots happening in Charlotte, and I don't know if they people even know what they are doing out there.  We got a President who supports, Black Lives Matters, and their improper handling of these cases.  When Obama was first president, there was a police involved shooting in Cambridge, MA, and Obama shamed the officers.  Turns out the President was wrong as the evidence and facts supported the officers.  We had Trevon Martin, and that turned out to be completely wrong, the facts didn't add up for any of this.  The events in Ferguson, there was never someone get shot in the back, no hands up.  We've had many cases such as the Baltimore cops, all of whom, evidence showed they were not guilty in their case, and now we have this most recent event where now the Charlotte Police Chief and media have said this guy had a gun as he was coming to the police! 

Black Lives Matters claim he didn't have a gun and was holding a book.  Doesn't even matter at this point... WHAT DOES RIOTING do to solve anything?  Why are you looting your own businesses from people in your own community to begin with? 

We have a black president who could come on tonight, tomorrow morning, and actually do good to help these race relations issues HE started again.  We have gone back like thirty years under this President, Eric Holder, and others within the White House.  This is wrong, and it needs to stop.  Will President Obama come of tv tonight and tell people to stop rioting?  Nope.  He will come out tomorrow and support them like he has done for years. 

As well, how is Obama standing there while his home city of Chicago BURNS?  Over 3,000 deaths.... WHAT THE HELL?  Why doesn't he do something?  Say something to all his supporters?  No instead he perpetuates the violence by encouraging them with it's their right to express themselves, and yes it is... but not so stupidly. 

I'm sick of these racial issues that have only become a problem under this Presidency.  It was never this bad before (in the reasonable past).  It's like we are back in the 60s or something, and we don't have a leader who will lead.  Instead he encourages the protests, and he has done all he can to make law enforcement the enemy, especially if it is not federal law enforcement.

Not too long ago the president pushed for a federal law enforcement agency, a single police force for the entire country, something like Canada does with the RCMP ... you know why he wants that?  So it can all be controlled by the president.  The biggest police force all under the control of the White House.... now thats scary.

Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZzZKy99v6k)

So far tonight, at least one protester has been shot and killed, but not by police.  Charlotte police have not fired a single shot all night so far.  This protester was shot by another civilian protester....

We had Trevon Martin, and that turned out to be completely wrong, the facts didn't add up for any of this.
Just one thing.

Trevon Martin did nothing wrong. Nothing. The only thing he did "wrong" was look suspicious because he had his hood up. There is audio evidence that the man who shot him shot him for no reason. On the phone with the police he asked "should I shoot him?" And the operators told him "no, wait until the police arrive." And he shot Trevon anyway.

That is the only shooting that got blown up that I stand behind. Trevon did nothing wrong. And I also loathe how Zimmerman was constantly white washed throughout the whole thing. He was Hispanic. Not white. I hated people making that into a white on black person crime.

#DicksOutForTrevon.

I agree with everything else about BLM, though. Except the bit about Trevon.

Not just on the local scene within our nation, but outside of our country.  Internationally, relations with most countries are at an all time low, and the world is just a few clicks away from going into a massive world war.  We have poor leadership to thank for that not only in the United States, but many other allied nations.

I too have a great aversion to BLM.  It hurts to see them proclaim goals I care about, and then repeatedly turn everything into a shitfight.

Racial issues have been awful forever.  Never mind the 60s, surely you've not forgotten LA 1992?  There have been lulls in the early eighties, late nineties, and briefly in the late naughties, but a year without race-related disquiet is the exception, not the rule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_racial_violence_in_the_United_States

That said, there does seem to have been a spate of it in the last few years.  But I'm confident that more populist polemic dickery is the last thing we need, and so I am horrified by a Trump presidency, for his being a demagogue, and horrified by a Clinton presidency, for her being so establishment she might as well be bedrock, and thus she almost certainly stands to greatly increase the number and volume of other populist demagogues.

I personally prefer Obama to either of the nominees.  To my view, he's been a fairly boring President.  If I can say the same thing about the POTUS in 4 years time, I'll consider that a remarkable success.

If you consider that the United States is in it's weakest state since WWII, then I guess that a success....  Respect is at an all time low, government control is an all time high, unemployment, people on food stamps, relying on the government, all time highs.  Crime is back on the increase after years of decline.  Obamacare struggling to pay for itself.  Race relations burning.  Obama's legacy?  Populism... is that even good, Obama is to blame for the rise of that if it happens.  North Korea, Russia, China, the Middle East.  Yeah, thats a remarkable success story.

Hadn't Trump been getting chummy with Putin? If so, that's probably for the best. It's better to have them as our allies. As my friend said a while back, if anyone could take America's military force completely head on, it would probably be Russia's.

Both candidates are scary in their own right. But I'd prefer one that doesn't constantly look like they're dying.

One thing I really hate about BLM is how they just ignore the bad things African Americans have also done. It's something I respect about Latinos, though I may be bias, if you'd ask many of them, even the poor ones they do admit Latin Americans can do shitty stuff and have done violent things. Most BLM acts like it's completely racist to say stuff like that. When it's true. Black on Black crime is extremely high, higher than white on black crime at least.

Can you really blame Obama for low employment? If anything, hasn't employment been on the rise very slowly but surely ever since Bush's administration? Sure ObamaCare was a major screw up. And is America at its weakest? If so don't you think other countries would try shit with us? I don't know. I personally would gladly live here than anywhere else. America is getting crazy, but I feel it's better than other places. It could be France.

America's prestige and respect is still the envy of the world, but it is as low as it's ever been.  Other national leaders snub us, and they can't rely on the US for support or help, especially our allies like Israel. 

Black Lives Matters has become so messed up.  They don't all really follow the same cause, which is what?  Is it supporting just black lives?  Is it against police brutality?  Who are the people causing riots?  Why don't they denounce that? They try to justify it by "police brutality started it."  Though then we often find out the police were in the right.  Under President Obama, black American families have struggled more then ever with unemployment in places over 20%, increase inner city struggles and much more.  Yet today, Obama simply says it would be an insult for blacks (http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/17/politics/obama-black-congressional-caucus/index.html) not to vote for Clinton.  How is that not race bating? 

Hispanics, I agree.  They are at least aware of the problems some people can cause and they have denounced it.  Many work to become legal immigrants.

Asians, often forgotten in all this, from China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, etc, all were treated poorly in early American history.  Forced to build railroads, segregation, and held down as much as possible.  But it didn't stop them from creating shops, or laundries to better themselves.  I look at the American Asian population as a success story of a group of people who were held down, just like the blacks, in near slave conditions in some cases, but look at Asians now.  Most are really successful or trying to be successful.  Blacks can do the same, and many have.  We just don't need this BLM crap.  All lives matter last I checked.  You don't see Asians causing riots or even creating a stink about racial issues.  They never have to the levels we see now.

France... yeah, constant threat of terrorism every day now, immigration crisis, poor leadership.  Sounds equally as un-good. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-09-22 13:34:10
I was gonna mention the Asians. The Asians can rise up despite the poor treatment they were given like in WWII where the Japanese were all forced to live in internment camps, which was disgustingly unconstitutional, violating their basic human rights and all that. And yet, you don't see them bitching about it today. No, they've moved on. Yes it's a horribly unfair thing America did to them, but they don't dwell on that or use it as a crutch to justify why they don't try hard to get out of there. Asians I feel are naturally very hard working people, they persevere and they want to be the best. It also probably has to do with their upbringing and how they're raised and their culture. But hey, it works for them.

I often feel many African Americans rely on the whole "but we were slaves" argument to justify why they don't try bettering themselves. Or saying the system is kicking them down. It's not. Everyone has equal opportunity here in America. And people should feel privileged to live here. There are places in this world where they wouldn't be given the chance to do something with themselves. But instead they gotta be all angry and pissy about how a black criminal was shot by a cop despite resisting them or something like that.

We are treading in dangerous water, LP.  Anywhere online we'd slickly be labeled racist for saying this. 

I forgot about the WWII with the Japanese.  That wasn't even long ago.  You still got African American complaining about slavery, even though none of them were directly involved in it.  Everyone has died since the days of slavery.  These are new people, being born, in a slavery free America, and they are still saying they are being held down and using it as a crutch. 

There are so many wonderful, intelligent, smart, and savvy African American's who don't rely on that couch and they have moved up in the world to be successful, but it seems many have just given up, didn't want to keep trying, and just use it as a crutch. 

I know inner cities are getting bad again, and I am not sure how people are at the schools there, but if your community it poor and struggling, gang activity, drugs, and theft doesn't help your community grow stronger and get better.

I really don't mind, I say racist things. It's weird for me, my brother is black, but my parents wouldn't not talk about how African Americans are lazy and don't try hard. Of course, I know they're not saying everyone, just the majority they've worked with (my dad worked in a factory to pay his way through college), or treat in their office. My brother doesn't even consider himself African Amercan. On standarized tests he always would put Hispanic or Latino.

Oh, I'm not saying their aren't very sucessful African Americans. There are. Like  Neil Degrasse Tyson (totally spelt his name wrong). It's because I feel they grew up in a time where they had to PROVE they were good enough. Prove they were just as kid as those white kids. Prove they too could be the very best. Nowadays, I feel we enable them too much. Like they don't strive anymore. They know they could easily probably get a job or something, but eh, America is letting them still wave around the "we were slaves and are still oppressed" bull crap that many don't try anymore. I'm happy to say my college actually has a pretty large population of African American students.

CMPD (Charlotte Metro PD) said that if they release this footage it would raise more questions then it answered, but due to high demand, they released two short clips, saying they have more.


Note the suspect was not following orders, didn't have his hands raised, and didn't get onto the ground.  Hands were on his sides, which is exactly what you are not supposed to do. 

Here is the gun  (http://www.wlky.com/news/charlotte-police-footage-shows-shooting-of-keith-scott/41813650)and holster the suspect had.  Police release this info the day of the shooting, but we now have evidence photographs too.

So who watched the debate?

I watched it and think Hillary looked more professional and overall won the debate. 

In the beginning Trump did really well talking politics, but later on, he kept falling for Clinton's bait and he just kept playing defensive.  She never gave any depth to her answers, she just said the same old stuff politicians always say.  But he didn't say much either because he kept trying to defend his record.

This video was Trump's strongest part probably in the debate. 

Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-09-27 12:13:53
It was a learning experience for Trump.  He's never had a debate of this scale before.  Hillary has done this sort of thing for 30 plus years.  She was far more composed and seemed better prepared, but Trump started great.  He then faltered the second half, struggling, because he felt he had to keep defending himself.  He should have answered simply and moved on, but he kept dragging it on and bringing things up he didn't need to bring up.  Hillary handled it right (though she got way too easy a pass) when she just fessed up and said she was wrong about how she handled her servers and the emails.  It took her ten seconds to answer then she moved on.  The same kind of question, Trump went on for like two minutes.  He didn't need to do that, 
Title: Re: Politics

It was intense at times, but I think they did pretty good overall.  Clinton seems calm and collective, she had every answer totally ready to go.  Trump didn't answer smoothly like Clinton did, but he did provide some substance on the economy.  Her experience in politics shows when they are side by side though.

Finished watching the VICE PRESIDENT DEBATE a few minutes ago.

If people didn't see how horrible Tim Kaine was in that debate, then people are blind.  Non stop Tim Kaine did nasty, horrible attacks against Trump and he looked very unkempt and unprofessional while doing it.  I was shocked he was like that as a person.  He lied, interrupted, and just started making things up, taking things out off context, and quite honestly perpetuated all the worst attributes of the Democratic Party, politicians, and Clinton campaign. 

Mike Pence looked professional, and he didn't focus on all of Kaine's petty nonstop insults.  He didn't let it get to him, and he focused on the subject matter at hand.  He had some great answers and explained some things in depth, something Kaine never did, because Kaine never answered a question.  He just turned the question into a Trump smattering festival.  Pence was reserved and I think did a really good job at representing the Trump campaign... I think I wish it was Pence running for president over Trump and Clinton...

Overall, the debate was action packed, and continual political sewage coming from Tim Kaine.  He should be ashamed of his performance, which sounds like nothing but insults, talking points, and scripted lines to read at certain times.  Pence walked away the clear winner and did so with class, never having to stoop to the same level of trash Kaine did.  Overall substance was hard to get, but Pence at least had some very thoughtful and detailed answers compared to none from his Vice President opponent.

Trump won this debate hands down.  The most telling part of the entire debate was at the very end when the gentleman asked Trump and Clinton to say one nice thing about each other.  Hillary didn't compliment Trump and she then went right back into rhetoric.  Trump answered the question with a wonderful compliment to Clinton, then stopped.  He didn't go into rhetoric.  A wonderful end to a debate Trump and his base should feel they won.

Trump did win this time, a huge turnaround.  He learned from Mike Pence who won his debate against Kaine. 

In the very beginning, Trump I felt faltered a little bit answering the  video questions, and he could have done better answering the Islamic lady, but other then that, he was pretty much spot on and gave his base the performance they wanted.  Did he attract new voters?  I'm not so sure.  But this was a Trump win.  This new thing the Clinton Campaign is doing in trying to tie Trump to Putin isn't working.

There is no way coming out of that debate, if I was a Democrat, would I feel Hillary won the debate.  I wouldn't say she did horrible.  She didn't, but Trump improved so much that it blew her out of the water.  She couldn't compete, and Trump was more aggressive.  She came off as nervous and on the defensive this time.  I will say, she knows how to "act" sincere.  She does well at looking at the person who asked her a questions and she has improved her sincerity approach.

But you and I both know, MasterX, it's an act.  She isn't lovable in anyway.  She is a typical politician who lies and manipulates to get what they want.  Her answer at the end showed her true colors like you said. 
Title: Re: Politics

No, I know that.  She didn't sway voters to her side.  I don't see how she could have.  She did nothing new, provided no new ideas, and didn't answer anything.  It was all generalities.  Trump actually went in depth with some things this time. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-10-09 20:42:25
Yes, Trump did go into detail this time, which was great.  He talked about his tax plan, the healthcare issues.

His biggest failure tonight was answering the Muslim woman.  He didn't answer that well, babbled, and if I were Muslim, would certainly not have swayed me to vote for him.  Clinton didn't do any better I might add. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-10-09 20:43:24
When it came down to it, Hillary said the same thing as Trump when it comes to Muslims entering the US.  "Extreme vetting."  But then she quickly tried to shed layers off that and de-fang it.  So in the end, she was proposing a near close amnesty plan. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-10-09 20:44:51
She never mentioned Radical Islam, but she did say Radical Jihadists.  She did actually say ISIS instead of ISIL, which is good.  I can understand her reasoning for not saying Islam in "radical Islamic terrorists," but then she is also thumping the PC warrior drums again. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-10-09 20:46:21
Thumping those PC drums is how you pick up the college educated female vote.  As a generality (sorry) they tend to like the PC thing then guys.  Which is why this revelation of Trump in the bus with that ABC host talking about women so poorly is a really bad thing.  But Trump did okay getting away from that, learned a lot, and we come away not talking about it.  The media will talk about it thought because they don't want him to win.

I think you are right.  Overall I would say it was a good debate with some telling moments.  A much stronger run for Trump this go, as well as a decent showing from Clinton.  Trump ultimately won this debate.  I think we won't see that reflected in the polls these next coming days though.  She will remain in the lead.

Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-10-09 22:45:53
He definitely got some good training. He was calm and collected, and only angry when doing it on purpose. I love how he kept putting his foot down when they interrupted him and when Hillary was allowed to go over her time limit. He was interrupted I believe about 26 times, half the amount of Hillary.

Also, what was up with those flies landing on Hillary? She didn't even react to them. Could it be.... She's a robot!?!

After hours of football, I flipped to the debate and watched it.  I ended up watching the whole thing, never even finishing the Giants/Green Bay game.  It was a very fiery debate and coming out of that, I think Trump was the winner, by a long margin.

I also want to share these two images from the debate.  These women are the women who allege Bill Clinton raped them back during his presidency.  They are Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathy Shelton were seated close to Bill Clinton.

(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/10/10/14/39412ACD00000578-3830041-image-a-13_1476106553910.jpg)

The television camera's showed it, and it was clear to see Bill Clinton was very upset and nervous of them being there.  He didn't like it, and Hillary never defended him when it was brought up in the debate.  Remember, back in the 90s, Hillary fought very hard against these women, calling them awful names.

(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/10/10/14/394158A500000578-3830041-image-a-11_1476106550438.jpg)

Hillary is an actual rape apologist. But feminists don't call her out on it because she's a woman.
One of those woman I believe is also the victim she ridiculed and laughed at when she was raped at 12. Don't quote me on that, but I think she was also sitting there.

Bill Clinton is probably thinking about how many restraining orders he's probably breaking.

Never has Hillary and the Clinton's had to defend these actions.  Remember the semen found on the dress?  Remember the cigars?  I don't know why this was all forgotten in the 90s because, "the Clinton's were so great," but everywhere they go, there is scandal, people disappearing, and who knows what else.

Anyways... new a new video has surfaced of a Manhattan Democratic representative on the city’s Board of Elections, and he talks about the corruption and fraud taking place in his own district.  He wants to stop it but says he can't, it's out of his control.

So more hacked emails, over 1,000, were released today.  They are emails from the Clinton campaign.  We are learning what those speeches are she did for the Clinton campaign, the speeches she never wanted the public to know about.  We have also gotten tons of emails of her top staff talking negatively on religious people, being in shock that anyone would want to raise their family in a religious light.  This woman is running for President people...  Analysts are still searching through this latest email dump.

1,000 new emails dumped (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-11/how-julian-assange-turned-wikileaks-into-trump-s-best-friend)

Clinton campaign mocked Christians and Catholics in emails revealed (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/11/clinton-campaign-spokeswoman-takes-shots-at-catholics-evangelicals-in-leaked-email-exchange.html).

Head of DNC got town hall debate questions early and sent them to Clinton? (http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/11/revealed-donna-brazile-shared-cnn-town-hall-questions-with-clinton-camp/)

Cues for Clinton on when to smile (http://heatst.com/politics/wikileaks-hillary-clinton-speeches-include-cues-on-when-to-smile/)

But now lets look at the Trump campaign which now has Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.

Trump on FOX News said he was tired of GOP nonsupport, and doesn't care if Paul Ryan supports him or not (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/11/trump-on-ryan-dont-want-his-support-dont-care-about-his-support.html).  Not only is Trump fighting to Democratic Party, but his own political party is not supporting him.  Opposite of the Democratic Party who will support someone no matter how destructive... as long as it was not Bernie Sanders.

I'm actually scared if Clinton wins. All that shit she was spewing about Russia and shit. Don't think it made Putin that happy. And you don't trifle with Russia. They're scary motherfukers and are probably the only place that could actually hold their own against America in a head to head war.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-10-11 21:40:07
Lets not overestimate Russia.  They have extremely outdated stuff.  Their Navy is ancient, and their tanks are certainly getting there in age.  Their air power is also pretty old.  So in reality, Russia's army/navy is all pretty old.  Russia is currently investing on rebuilding their stuff though.  Russia would not be a good military force if they were forced to leave their homeland and fight.  They would be an extremely tough force to fight on their home turf, but would have a hard time stopping an attack from their east.  Around the Euro Russian area, it has many artillery installations and anti aircraft.  They would have the majority of their forces there, and would be harder to fight, but they would probably eventually lose.

What is scary though if is they can make use of their old military equipment rotting away from previous wars which are scattered all over the huge country.  It would increase numbers, but wouldn't be up to par.  Now what is scary is if Russia decides to bring up nukes, or if their allies get involved, like China, North Korea, Iran, and other middle eastern countries. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-10-11 21:45:59
Nukes is what scares me, really. And even then, they got numbers.
Either way, it's never really that good to be on Russia's bad side. Especially since they have nukes.
But eh, who knows. They could be hiding secrets.

Because they accept everyone as long as it fits their criteria.  Honestly, when you become absolutely soaked in liberalism, that happens.  Same can be said with pure conservatism, but you see it more often with Liberalism since we are in a world dominated by them.  Social media, mass media, university teachers, etc.

I had to read what was said in that thread (http://www.sneezefetishforum.org/index.php?/topic/62822-donald-trump/&do=findComment&comment=822282), and you can clearly see these people had nothing to state, no facts, nothing.  They were just mad and angry because someone didn't fit into their "perfect bubble."  One person tells you to state what you dislike about Clinton, then says you can't take any opinions of views from others... what?  How does that work, yet they leave it wide open to Trump.  It is very one sided.

At least here, things try to stay in the middle then people can share what they want.  No people freaking out like you can completely feel there.

Trump is not my first choice, I think I've made that abundantly clear, but even with all his faults (and we all have faults) I am not just taking talking points and calling him a misogynist, racist, Russian loving, orange guy.  That pretty much amounts up everyone of their responses so far.  That topic was dead, but it took one person to show a differing view and they all attack like predators on their prey, and the weakest kind, because it is online with no reprecussions.

How do people not see that Hillary will lie and cheat to get what she wants?

Like yeah okay, I understand Trump isn't perfect and that he isn't the best man ever out there, but he hasn't done nearly half the amount of bad things Hillary has done. Liberals talk about Conservatives looking the other way and having amnesia with Trump's "horrible actions" when they're doing the same with Hillary.

Remember the Drone Strikes? Apparently the liberals I've talked to irl try to sweep it under the rug, saying "it wasn't that bad" "soldiers die all the time". But "grab 'em by the pussy" absolutely reprehensible and unforgivable.

Corruption runs deep my friends.  Note the sources below are not our normal sources, but sadly you can not find this info on the typical CNN, ABC, CBS, etc.  So you can take this as you will, Conservative propaganda, maybe?  But it is still here to show.  We've been real fair showing all sides.

We have now found out that the Obama White House was directly tied to Julian Assange having his internet cut at his Ecuadorean Embassy suite in London.

"We can confirm Ecuador cut off Assange's internet access Saturday, 5pm GMT, shortly after publication of Clinton's Goldman Sachs (speeches)," the group said in a message posted to Twitter late Monday. In follow-up messages posted Tuesday, the group claimed U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had personally intervened to ask Ecuador to stop Assange from publishing documents about Clinton. Citing "multiple US sources," WikiLeaks said the request was made on the sidelines of negotiations which took place last month in Colombia.

The US State Department denied the allegation.

Source (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/6f997f97c5f140a29f385ea05f1b642c/wikileaks-assanges-internet-link-severed-state-actor)

WikiLeaks said unspecified "contingency plans" were in place and the site and its Twitter feed appeared to be working as usual. On Tuesday it released another tranche of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, suggesting that the group's ability to publish has yet to be compromised.

Assange fled to the Ecuadorean Embassy on June 19, 2012, after a drawn-out and ultimately unsuccessful legal battle to being sent to Sweden, where he remains wanted over an allegation of rape. Ecuador granted him asylum, but British authorities have made clear they would arrest him if he tried to leave.

What is starting to be revealed to us as the public is mass corruption on all levels.  Not only in the White House, but entire political parties, the FBI, and other branches of the US Gov.  The safe guards have not worked, and we are just now starting to realize it.  The system is rigged, as it is starting to become apparent.

THIS is far bigger then Watergate ever was... yet why is only FOX News reporting it?  Why are no other news agencies talking about any of this?  You want to know why?  Because they are part of it, and anything they can do to stop the Conservative, Libertarian voices, and promote their own liberal values is what wins to the media.  Over the past several days, links have been revealed showing voter fraud, lies, scandals, planned outings of paid women to down Trump, and more.  And it isn't just the Clinton campaign, it is the Obama Admin that is also part of all this.  The Democratic Party, the FBI, and even parts of the Republican Party.  Why do you think Paul Ryan is attacking Trump?  They don't want someone who isn't part of the ESTABLISHMENT, part of the grand plan, in office.  It could potentially ruin their hidden kingdom of corruption and power.  Julian Assange is probably now on the assassination list as have been many over the years.

I don't agree with all of him, but he is saying in this video the Democratic Party is trying to use Russia as a scapegoat to hide other things going on right now.  It would explain all the recent charges the Obama Admin and the Democratic Party has had against Russia lately.  In the past few weeks, there have been many attacks on Russia and claims.  The media is painting a picture (the liberal controlled media) is painting a picture of Russia being evil.  Russia isn't good, they are doing bad things, but do we really need a war with them?  No.  For some reason the "peace loving" Democrats are now fire eyed and touting war with Russia.

I can't stand Donald Drumpf or Hillary Clinton. I feel the only real option this election is to vote third party. Personally, I'm going with Gary Johnson. Others may want to look into Jill Stein. There's a useful website called ISideWith.com that quizzes you and matches your answers to the candidates. Vote however you want, but check that site out and give the alternative candidates some serious consideration.

Eh, the third party guys are nut jobs as well. They're just not as scandalous or as covered by the media. But they're very very eh. Vote for who you want and like. Personally, I'm voting based on ther policies as well. I'm not gonna go with Trump because he's not Hillary. But because I agree with what he wants to do and what not.

I've used that quiz before I think. I forget who I matched up with, but I took it last year. My friend matched with Hillary and I think he died on the inside lol.

In other news, I got into an argument on SFF. Because apparently you can't have a civil conversation about Trump without it turning into "you're a horrible disgusting person", or you knowing it's what they're trying to say.

How is it that we can be very civil about this?

Because they accept everyone as long as it fits their criteria.

At least here, things try to stay in the middle then people can share what they want.  No people freaking out like you can completely feel there.

Don't forget that we /do/ have the occasional multi-page rants against them-awful-liberals, which are likely fairly off-putting to the other side too.  But we never have members shitting on other members, and indeed on the whole we are much, much more civil about this stuff.  I'm pretty dang proud of this community about that. :D

ISideWith.com

I took this quiz before I started reading the link above.  It says I most identify with Trump.  As some of you have probably known, I am an Independent with conservative tendencies as well as some liberal views on social policies.  Overall I am more right then left though.

So it I most identify with Trump, followed by Darrell Castle in the Constitution Party and Gary Johnson in a near third.  Jill Stein and Hillary Clinton were a distant last place after taking that poll.  They didn't even come close.

Now that you mention it, I am pretty happy too.  But could it be that no "outside" voice that is extremely left has stated their opinion before?  Could that be why the independent/right voice of the people here is never drowned out and why everyone is civil?  I'm sort of playing devils advocate, because even on heavily left forums, they are still chewing each others out, being angry, mad, brewing at Republicans in general.

As an average American who is easily fooled by someone being political and saying the right things, I would say Hillary won this debate.  It wasn't by a whole lot though.  I would say overall they were both about 50/50.  At times Trump dominated her, but then they always ended with him going a bit out there.  Certain times, at least twice, Hillary was noticeably nervous and you could tell she was lying, especially when she tried to tie Trump to Russian and Putin the first time.

In the end though, I think Clinton said just the right things, got women voters, kept saying "save the children" and the average person will buy into that.  She barely pulled off a victory in my mind. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-10-19 19:55:41
No matter how well Trump performed, the only thing that the media will take away from the whole debate is Trump saying he wouldn't nessecarily accept the election results.  The liberal media especially will blow this out of proportion and make it seem far worse sounding then it was intended to be.  Trump never should have said that, and that was the blunder that will overshadow anything else in this debate.  The leftist media knows how to do it's business. 

As for the debate moderator, it was a senior FOX News analyst, Chris Wallace.  He did the best job of any moderator in this debate and he never debated anyone.  He brought up tough issues for both Hillary and Trump, and made them both uncomfortable internally bringing up subjects rarely reported.  He brought up Trump's economic plan the the increased debt, and he brought up the handful of issues plaguing the Clinton campaign, that most American viewers have no idea about if they watch the normal mainstream media outlets. 
Title: Re: Politics

Oh yeah, I forgot about Trump saying that.  He probably shouldn't have said that, especially when his wife and Pence said they would all accept the election terms.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-10-19 20:00:29
But as I said, this will be blown out of proportion.  Do not forget that Al Gore didn't accept George W. Bush winning the election.  They had several recounts of ballots in Florida and each time, he kept calling for a recount, his vote count somehow kept increasing.  Gore then sued, and did all he could to raise a stink and that he would not accept Bush winning.  It wasn't actually just Gore, but the whole Democratic Party.  In the end, they had to give up, because George W. Bush did win.

But saying you won't accept the election results wasn't good.  But it also isn't good to say you will accept them, then end up not doing that, like Gore did. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-10-19 20:03:09
That was a debate for sure.  It got heated, but never as vicious as the second debate.  Not as many sparks.  I would say these two truly hate each other.  They avoided all contact with one another.  You could see the hate and anger seething in Clinton's eyes whenever Trump spoke.  It was so apparent.  Trump said a few things he shouldn't have said, and he needs to stop interrupting her.  Clinton just lied through her teeth.

So yeah.  That was the debate. I think the person who came out the winner was the moderator, Chris Wallace who did the best job I've seen of anyone on the moderating stage this election cycle.  Maybe second was the lady from the first debate and then third Anderson.

Another thing, Trump shouldn't have called Clinton a "nasty women." No matter how true or false that may be, that doesn't help his case of being a respectful person to women.  Maybe he should have said she is a "nasty person."  Better yet, maybe just not say that at all.

Wow, wow.  Lets slow down here.  Trump never said he wasn't going to accept the election results.  In an extreme case where fraud is totally seen, I don't blame his answer.  Trump clearly said, "We will wait and see."

Any good businessman, or smart person in general would say that.  Don't accept a deal or something you invested in blindly until you know it was done fairly.  This is no attack on Democracy, this is just common sense smarts.

Clinton came off as strong in many points.  Whether she was telling the truth or not, she came off as strong at several parts.  She mentioned Planned Parenthood, women's rights, equality, children, and even her talks on foreign policy were very good.  She said what people want to hear and it will fool many people.  Where she failed was her economic policy for sure, and how she tried to pin Trump to things.  Fact of the matter is, all these allegations by the left have not been true against Trump except a few things from the past.  Long ago, further then when Bill and Hillary romped around the White House.

Yes.  As I said, Hillary did an outstanding job at certain points.  She said the right things, the good "feel good" things the average voter buys and will just accept.  Typical politician.  Trump is not polished and doesn't say things well a lot of the time.  He tends to speak before he thinks. 

But you could see that hate in Hillary's eyes at Trump.  Even at the end, when she went over to shake Chris Wallace's hand, Trump waited for her to get off stage before he went up.  These two despise each other.

I'm not sure Trump brought in any new voters, even though he stayed more focused on agenda.  Clinton has some super lower points that were lower then Trump's lowest points.  So I would say they came out about even.  People who are voting for Clinton will vote her, and people with Trump are further cemented to him, despite the accepting of election results or not.

Yes, Trump did no favors with that part.  I agree.  Where he did great was when Clinton pivoted from the question about her paid speeches to the banks and how it ended with her tying Trump and Putin together.  It made no sense, she got visually flustered and nervous.  Trump then went on to rebuttal her with a statement calling her a puppet and how Putin played her and the Obama White House.  He was right. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-10-19 21:48:40
Yes.  Trump needed more moments like that, because Clinton was so uncomfortable during that few minute section.  She did not like it and felt very uneasy.  It was Trump's best moment of the night.  Trump also made it clear how Hillary was a politician.

He said something very similar to this; "The problem is you talk (referring to Clinton), but you don't get anything done, Hillary.”  Now that may not be 100% what he said, but it was very close.  And it is also True.  Hillary then went on a rant about helping women and children, which was just simply to pull in those heart melter votes.

Personally, I felt there was no clear winner.
I'm gonna be honest, they lost my interest near te last question.

I did like some of the humor Trump tossed in. But both her and Hillary had strong points but very weak arguments at the same time. Personally, knowing how much Hillary lies to get her way, I'm swayed more to say Trump "won" in my eyes, but I admit he was weaker than normal in this debate. He should have fought up stuff about how Russia is meeting in Moscow. He should have called out how Hillary ignored points he made. The moderator was pretty cool this time around.

I really don't like Hillary's idea of raising the minimum wage, I'll post a video here why:
(Not the video I wanted, but it's still a good one).
We've tried this multiple times and it just doesn't work as we intend it to. I'm wondering if maybe this is why certain fast food places can't and don't stay open as long as they used to in this area. Now they close early, and just a theory, but maybe it's because they can't afford to be paying these kids freaking $15 an hour to stand there and maybe have a customer order a burger that costs $5.

As for the media. I can barely listen to FOX either because they are also bias. Seriously, every news network is bias and it's annoying. Which is why it's probably better to actually watch the events when they happen. Not read about it later in a biased as hell article.

Not to mention the Clinton Foundation.  In the debate she said that 90% of the Clinton Foundation's money went to charities.  THAT is a lie!  Because the IRS (http://thefederalist.com/2015/04/27/in-2013-the-clinton-foundation-only-spent-10-percent-of-its-budget-on-charitable-grants/) forms show that less then 10% of the Clinton Foundation money actually goes to charities.  So yeah.  Now that we are going over it all, I'm starting to think Trump won.

Yeah. What now Hillary. Hillary is a liar. I can't stand her. She is a corrupt woman. And I honestly don't care Trump called her a "nasty woman" because she is. She's a nasty person, and lies and cheats to get what she wants "done". And also, again with the bringing up Putin and Russia and just no. She needs to stop. And Trump was right, Hillary was played. Russia outsmarted her. Russia should be our friend, yeah they're not the best, but they should be an ally to us.

Just because Trump says that "Putin is a strong leader" does not mean he likes the guy.  I can saw that Hitler was a strong leader, but I hate him and all he did.  Strong leaders does not mean you like them or support them.  Many of the strongest leaders knew how to manipulate people and were strong leaders. 

Strong leaders are also good like Abe Lincoln or George Washington, etc.  Howard Taft.

Now Trump has a bigger problem to deal with.  He needs to win over new voters, middle voters, and win back over the utterly inept Republican Party who is splitting from him and attacking him.  You have the weakest House leader in Paul Ryan, and he should be ashamed for his poor excuse of leadership.

I didn't say Trump likes Putin. He even said, "I don't know Putin, I've never met him.". But yeah, Putin likes him, he hates Hillary and has no respect for Obama.

Did we talk about how Trump wants S. Korea and Japan to have their own nuclear weapons? I think that is an interesting talking point. But I won't bring it up again if we've already discussed it haha.

Trump has said that America’s allies should pay more of their defense costs and take more responsibility for their own protection. Earlier this year, Trump seemed to say that Japan might be better off if it had nuclear weapons to defend itself from North Korea. He didn't promote the idea though.

I think it would be good for S. Korea and Japan.
We can't keep holding their hand and have them constantly relying on us to be the ones to help them of N. Korea decides to nuke them. Plus, if they have nuclear weapons, it takes the blame off of us if there is retaliation. It would be on them if they wish to fight back. Mutually assured destruction. Like how Russia and America were in the Cold War. Neither side tried bombing the other side because they knew the other would retaliate.

If S. Korea and Japan had their own weapons to fight back themselves, that would at least make N. Korea less likely to try something if they know they can nuke them back just as easily. It's a balance.

On Thursday of last week, a study was done of every major news network.  ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and the others.  It didn't include FOX News because they report all the scandals and email issues with Clinton.  But those other channels I mentioned, the total time all of them combined spent in primitive talking about Clinton's scandals and emails was 57 seconds.  That is ALL those channels combined.  57 seconds.

I don't think South Korea or Japan needs nuclear weapons, but better military equipment is key.  South Korea is already well ahead on a good military.  Japan is still behind, because of a deal signed back in WWII where they couldn't have a standing army, just a defense force.  Most of Japan's army is only good for defense, not offensive, and they need to be able to change that, especially with aggressors like North Korea.

Another nation we all forget is Israel. If Iran takes back Mosul from ISIS, then that helps strengthen Iran's longterm goal of taking over Iraq, and getting within striking distance of hitting Israel with their nukes.  That is scary.  That is a front we need to worry about. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-10-19 22:17:17
Oh my gosh, I never thought about Mosul being in Iran's hands.  It is Iranian and Kurdish forces fighting ISIS there.  MOSUL was in control of the US Army, but with Clinton and Obama's plan to pull all troops out, ISIS took over the city.  So we fought to get the city, lost it, then are seeing someone else fighting hard to get it.  Iran knows the importance of that location.

Then we also have Aleppo and all of Syria to worry about, and that mess.  Russia growing relations with Iran and Syria.  Iranian Army is currently using all this old US Army stuff we left back two years ago... and it is super advanced.  Russia would love to have it to learn from it, such as our MVAC's and Abram tanks.  Right now Russia's equipment for the most part is dated.

Does Russia care about S. Korea and Japan? I don't think so.
But also, again. If you give the victims of an attack have the ability to fight back with the same fighting power it makes the attacker less likely to do it. Which is why I think they should have their own nuclear missals. It would take us out of the equation if N. Korea did something because now Japan and S. Korea can fight back and defend themselves. We can pull our troops out of there once they get a strong enough militia of their own, and we'd be saving our soldiers from harm of a nuclear crisis in that area were to happen.

China is North Korea's biggest trading partner and ally.  Russia is allied with China and with N. Korea.  China is starting to show signs of agreeing that North Korea is acting belligerent. So whether Russia has issues with Japan and South Korea or not, if North Korea got involved, China would, and if that happened, Russia would.  They would have no choice.

The only thing that bugs me about the poll you posted, LP is that there is no middle option.  It has to be a yes or no, no matter what.  And that sometimes doesn't answer the grey areas for certain questions.  I still took the poll nonetheless. 

I took the poll and was confused by it's findings.  I was directly smack dab in the center, not off by a single line or column.  So I am at the center, and up one bar.

Economic Left/Right: 0.0

Based on your map, and some real polls out there, you are already being pretty generous with some of those swing states.  It looks like you went off prior data for previous elections.  The more Vegas grows, the more liberal it is becoming, so it will be blue now like you show.  That makes sense.  Florida I think will go blue, but you have it a slight red.  Also Ohio will probably go slightly blue.

So as we get closer to election day, it has been historically accurate to say polls become more accurate.  As known, polling it's 100% accurate.  ABC Polls for example sample 25% more Democrat voters then Republican and Independent voters on average when doing polls.  That is how you get numbers like last week when an ABC poll said Hillary was up 12%.  This week, that same poll now says 6%. 

As a whole, all the polls are tightening and Hillary's lead is slimming.  CNN is getting worried too, because this supposed "cake-walk" victory for Hillary isn't looking as easily as they first projected and hoped.

Even the FOX News polls, which had Hillary up 8 points last week, now only shows Hillary up 3 points, within the margin of error.  For the most part, the majority polls show Trump within 3 to 5 points of Hillary now.  That is a major halving from last week and the several weeks before.

91% of media coverage is Anti-Trump, and the Liberal media is truly trying to ignore these polls right now, but you can see they are getting nervous when they do.  Last week's totals for ABC, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and CBS'S coverage of Hillary's email scandal was less they 4 minutes in Prime Time (the key time people watch) and over 57 minutes was anti Trump material.  So it is pretty clear to see what these networks are doing, as the Hlllary Camp and DNC have their hands in the pockets of those news networks.

Tuesday's (http://www.wnd.com/2016/10/its-the-smoking-gun-hillary-agents-embedded-deep-in-news-media”/) emails leaks showed reporters, editors and contributors not just advocating for Hillary Clinton but apparently colluding with the campaign.  We also have the case of Democratic National Committee official and CNN contributor Donna Brazile tipping off the Clinton campaign to a potentially difficult CNN town-hall questions.  Not to mention, CNBC correspondent John Harwood, who was widely criticized for posing biased questions to Donald Trump as a primary debate moderator, effectively served as an adviser to the Clinton campaign.  Maggie Haberman, a former Politico reporter who now works for the New York Times, has very close ties with the Clinton's and the Democratic Party. 

How can anyone trust any of these media outlets if we know have all this evidence showing how corrupt the Clinton Campaign, and sadly, the Democratic Party is? 
Title: Re: Politics

I don't think the corruption is higher than I expected, but then I had pretty pessimistic expectations.  I don't think either candidate will have a huge impact on that, though I expect Clinton will tend to attract more financial corruption while Trump will foster more cronyism.

Polls are kind of all over the place at the moment.  It's narrowed, but not yet by much of a margin (I'd recommend fivethirtyeight.com as a decent poll aggregator/combiner; its editorial body is inevitably somewhat anti-Trump, but they take their statistics very seriously).

The FBI to due NEW investigation into Clinton's email server (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fbi-to-conduct-new-investigation-of-emails-from-clintons-private-server/2016/10/28/0b1e9468-9d31-11e6-9980-50913d68eacb_story.html?hpid=hp_no-name_no-name%3Apage%2Fbreaking-news-bar&tid=a_breakingnews).

FBI Director, James Comey said that the FBI had, in connection with an “unrelated case,” recently “learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the Clinton investigation.”

Now note this, the FBI would not re-open a case unless they had overwhelming evidence of something that could possibly change an outcome.  This will also be seen a judgement case by Comey, so he isn't taking this lightly. 

This is a HUGE event that happened just eleven days before the election, and could have an impact.

We are getting close to election day... so TRUTH TIME.

Simple questions.  I am not talking about policy or viewpoints, but simply how you gauge the person. 

Do you actually LIKE Hillary Clinton?  Why or why not?

Do you actually LIKE Donald Trump?  Why or why not?

How do they gauge to previous presidents or something, feel free to elaborate.  I will answer my personal thoughts in the next post.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Rainberry on 2016-10-31 13:16:28
Do I like Hillary Clinton as a person?  Originally I didn't have much or a problem with her, but then there were growing issues with her husband and how she viciously attacked the other women who accused her husband of molesting/raping them.  Since then, she has gone further and further away from my liking to the point of now, I just view her as a liar, a cheat, and a swindler.  Overtime she comes on the screen, she says her talking points, has a fake smile, and looks at the camera with these dead eyes.  Eyes that have lied directly to the American people, looking at us in our face.  So do I like Hillary Clinton?  No.  I used to like her husband, Bill, but I have lost almost all respect for him.

Do I like Donald Trump?  Yes and no.  I like his drive, but before the election ever happened, I always viewed him as a goofball with his tv show.  He was eccentric, funny, and just odd.  I didn't dislike him, but he was the brunt of some jokes I will admit.  I respected him for his fortunes he made.  As the election process came along, I didn't take him seriously and didn't plan to vote for him.  As he narrowed down to him, I didn't like some of his rhetoric, but I knew what he was saying was what so many unhappy American's wanted to hear and believed.  He wasn't establishment, and he said what the commoner liked, even though he was a billionaire.  Based on countless reporters, he is reportedly a very nice man, despite his persona we see on tv.  I wish he would lose the persona and be the nice man people say, but I also realize, if he did that, he wouldn't be noticed by the media.  Trump's persona is a machine that doesn't requite workers, it is just him.  Do I like him? Yes, but I wish he would lose the persona.

Do I like Bernie Sanders?  Yes.  While I disagree with a lot of what he had to say, I understand his viewpoints, and I know he is passionate about what he believes in.  I am sorry to see him have to side with Hillary, even though he didn't want too.  I know many of his ideas would be disastrous, but I can't deny that I like his spunk and will to try and share what he thinks is good for the country.  At that age, he has so much energy and would probably be an interesting person to hang out with.

Do I like George W. Bush.  Yes.  Despite whether you agree with his politics or not, based on what I know about him, and how he conducts himself, he seems like a genuine and a nice man.  You can complain about wars or what have you, but I feel he would be a real down to earth kind of person, traditional, and probably very nice. 

Do I like Barrack Obama?  I used to, but I don't like how he carries and conducts himself anymore.  Doesn't matter if I voted for him or not, I feel he is very political and has caused many issues, and brought up new issues in this country that most thought were history and long gone.  I used to think he would be a fun person to hang out with, but now I see him for who he really is, and he seems full of himself, almost arrogant.  I don't like that.

Be careful where you share that.  There are people who will believe that. 

Still despite all the recent bumps for the Trump campaign, they are still in a major uphill battle against Clinton.  She already almost has all the electoral votes needs thanks to states like California, New York, the northeast and the rest of the west coast.  They are the big population centers and they give her those ever important votes.  Trump is going to have to win more the Mitt Romney to even have a chance at winning this election.  Popularity doesn't make you president, even if you get more votes.  It is the electoral college that gives you the win.

This is why I hate Cali and NY. Complete cucks. Also, what's up with that $10 minimum wage? Ridiculous. Can't believe I used to want to live there lol. And NY. They've had first hand experience with Hillary and her not doing shit. And they still trust her? Or a majority at least still does?
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-01 21:19:19
Well, I must say, some places (particularly the west coast) has very high wages.  For example, in the city of Seattle, Washington, the minimum wage is $15.  That is everyone.  First time employee's who work at McDonalds, $15.  That is crazy high, but then again, that area has a higher standard of living then say... Billybob Hill, Kentucky with the minimum wage being $4.56.

New Yorker's are always going to be liberal.  Hillary could get away with murder (and there is evidence the Clinton's have done that in the past), and New York will keep voting for her.  NYC and the other population areas in the state make it so the more conservative upstate parts of NY have no voice.  Though that is the same with most states.  California is the same.  Besides the big cities in California, there is a lot of independents and conservatives, especially in the Central Valley.

This is it everyone.  The Clinton's the Democratic Party, it all just exploded.  If Clinton still wins the election, then this country is stupid.  I'm just flat out saying that.  I am not endorsing Trump.  The levels of corruption here will astound you.  There is no way she, or a huge chunk of her campaign and the DNC won't go to jail for the news being revealed from the FBI. This is breaking within the past 2 hours.

1. The Clinton Foundation investigation is far more expansive than anybody has reported so far and has been going on for more than a year.

2. The laptops of Clinton aides Cherryl Mills and Heather Samuelson have not been destroyed, and agents are currently combing through them. The investigation has interviewed several people twice, and plans to interview some for a third time.

3. Agents have found emails believed to have originated on Hillary Clinton's secret server on Anthony Weiner's laptop. They say the emails are not duplicates and could potentially be classified in nature.

4. Sources within the FBI have told him that an indictment is "likely" in the case of pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, "barring some obstruction in some way" from the Justice Department.

5. FBI sources say with 99% accuracy that Hillary Clinton's server has been hacked by at least five foreign intelligence agencies, and that information had been taken from it.


FOX News reports that FBI Sources Believe Clinton Foundation Case Moving Towards "Likely an Indictment" (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/11/02/fbi_sources_tell_fox_news_indictment_likely_in_clinton_foundation_case.html).  There is now clear evidence according to the FBI that the Clinton Foundation was doing that "pay to play" thing you've all been hearing about.  This is huge.

99% chance at least 5 countries accessed Hillary's emails, FBI had secretly been investigating for over a year (http://www.wsj.com/articles/secret-recordings-fueled-fbi-feud-in-clinton-probe-1478135518).

Smiles put more sources.

The fact that only FOX News, the Wall Street Journal, and conservative and independent websites are posting this should show you all how much in bed the liberal media is with their talking points.  CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, New York Times, etc.  They are all sickening farses.  They don't report news, they only report what they want, and if you go to them right now, they divert the attention to the world series, and anti Trump rhetoric.

BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT: FBI info about the Clinton Foundation/Emails

1. The Clinton Foundation investigation is far more expansive than anybody has reported so far and has been going on for more than a year.

2. The laptops of Clinton aides Cherryl Mills and Heather Samuelson have not been destroyed, and agents are currently combing through them. The investigation has interviewed several people twice, and plans to interview some for a third time.

3. Agents have found emails believed to have originated on Hillary Clinton's secret server on Anthony Weiner's laptop. They say the emails are not duplicates and could potetially be classified in nature.


4. Sources within the FBI have said that an indictment is "likely" in the case of pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, "barring some obstruction in some way" from the Justice Department.

5. FBI sources say with 99% accuracy that Hillary Clinton's server has been hacked by at least five foreign intelligence agencies, and that information had been taken from it.

There is seriously no way, the Clinton's can get out of jail with this.  Obama can not pardon her until after she in indicted, and if he does, this just shows there is separate law for politics.  Corruption is running rampant, the Department of Justice run by Loretta Lynch is doing all they can to stop the good hard working agents at the FBI.

If this was anti Trump news found by the FBI, the people need to know.  I'm not choosing a party.  This is America's freaking future.

You know they won't. Because they're all blinded by this bullshit liberalism and how Democratic Party is best cuz "yeaaaaah chaaaaaaamge!". Only in my most amazing dreams can I imagine the country becoming woke.

I'm worried about the country's and worlds safety. If Clinton were to win... I'm scared. I'm scared what will happen to our country and the world. You know how people were all "I'm moving to Canada if Trump wins" a while back? I'm wondering if my family will want to stay here if Clinton wins. And I know my parents have always been Democratic, because they used to bash my aunt for being Republican. But this year, from my observation, they actually prefer Trump. Anyway, tangent. I'll stop.

I'm surprised she didn't say anything as well. Didn't even realize it was her, I always thought she was Smiles2Us on SFF, just like here.

I suppose because to a degree they had a point, but they were taking Smiles' one line about accepting others way too far while ignoring everything else she said. Also, to see how we would genuinely react, if she said it was her then we could be biased into siding with her. By not saying it was her, we actually read her comment and agreed with her points.

So I have been going over the latest polls which on average only show Hillary up 2 points at the very most.  So I gave her that generous 2% but also included Trump's continuing surge of 6% points almost a day.  I also included partially the closet Trump supporters which will be about 3-6%.  For this map, I made it 4%.  So this is what I came up with.

(http://i67.tinypic.com/6gvhpk.jpg)

It is a closer then my map before, but again, I am just using my own political studies and statistics degree and judgement on this.  In no way is it official.  It might even be optimistic looking compared to other maps out there.  One thing I don't show is three swing states or states that break down electoral votes such as Maine.  The three states that will likely go to Trump based off early polling/votes are Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.  So that would change this map up too.

It was some person, a large man reportedly, who had a fake pro-Trump sign and in the back he had a fun taped in back or on him somewhere.  According to the person in this interview, four men around this guy tackled him and held him from pulling the gun out until police and Secret Service grabbed him.

On the fringes out there, conspiracy theorists are saying that Hillary Clinton and the DNC may stage some sort of action leading up to the election.  What that means is maybe stage a terrorist act, start a war, allow Obama to stay in power, or allow for a shift to Hillary.  This may be tied to the Democrats attacking Russia recently.  That is all fringe, but here is some new news below.

ISIS calls of the slaughter of American's on Election Day (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-05/isis-calls-slaughter-americans-election-day).

FBI clears Hillary's charges for unknown reasons (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/2016/11/06/fbi-not-recommending-charges-over-new-clinton-emails/93395808/) (BREAKING)

The New York Police Department is also now investigating Hillary and Podestal for things.

WikiLeaks under cyber attack after email releases (https://www.rt.com/news/365576-wikileaks-servers-dos-attack/).

According to early numbers, Trump is getting more voters then Romeny in Florida and North Carolina, but is still behind.  But early voting shows that Republican's are outvoting Democrats in Colorado. Corrupt Nevada is now leaning to lean Democrat.  In the last decade, Nevada has almost always polled Republican, but on election day, the state mysteriously shifts.

I really hope everyone who can vote, does vote tomorrow, or early.  Vote for who you want.

That said, I can't believe the FBI would look so foolish in pulling out of an investigation.  I think a higher authority forced them too.

We are also hearing of high reports of voter fraud in Nevada, Florida, and other states against Trump.

In reality, Trump will probably lose tomorrow by a lot in the electoral college, but anything can happen.  Hillary is leading according to most news sources, but some say it will be very close.

What makes this more stunning is all the info we had heard going into this new review by the FBI.  Source (http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/fbi-completes-review-newly-revealed-hillary-clinton-emails-finds-no-n678701)

99% chance five foreign ministries hacked Clinton's emails.  Evidence that Clinton's emails were on other's computers and servers.

Something bigger is going on then we probably know.  The people in the FBI aren't sure why this ended so suddenly.

I was so unbelievably pissed this morning.
You know how I sent in my application for mail ballot? It arrived.
But they couldn't find it. And even if they did they wouldn't be able to send it to me for me to get it back on time for when the polls close. Absolutely livid, $22 of priority shipping down the drain that could have gone for food or something.

They finally called me back. They found it. Still too late to send it to me. However. Since they're the ones that fudged up, they said they'll allow me to vote over email. Thank god.

I'm worried about the turn out. This will be close. Anxiety levels rising, is this what it feels like to have.... Responsibility and be an adult??

West coast is going to vote for her.  By the time it gets there, she will have either won or not.  Alaska might even vote for her.  Washington, Oregon, California, all her.  Go inland one state, not as much.  Idaho, Montana, Utah, Arizona, no.  Nevada is a toss up.

Sounds like voter fraud against you.  And yes, welcome to adulthood.  These feelings happen on many things.

If the email thing, which I've never heard of before, isn't legit, go to a voters booth.  There is probably one on your campus or in your town at the town hall or a church.

This reminds me of an election where everyone was so sure one candidate was gonna win, that local newspapers had already had the headlines for the next day printed. Surprise surprise, the other guy won. And there's pictures of him holding up the false headlines. It's great. I just can't remember which president it was.

Fingers crossed for this happening again but with fireworks. But very unlikely :(

This just in, Hillary Clinton is lagging in voters in North Carolina so far in early votes.  Why this is important is the political consensus is virtually unanimous: If Hillary Clinton wins North Carolina, Donald Trump has to win every other competitive state to take the White House.  Trump is outperforming Mitt Romney in this state so far.

Clinton is not a popular person, nor is Trump.

But in the liberal stronghold of Oregon, Clinton only won one county in Oregon by one vote during the Oregon Democratic Primaries. (The DNC stole the candidacy from Sanders)

Source (http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/05/hillary_clinton_won_just_1_ore.html)

Now early voting from Oregon is showing Clinton is ahead, but not by the huge margin Democrats were expecting.  This is kind of shocking to see her lead not being huge.  I wonder if this indicative of other West Coast states like Washington and Cali?

That is interesting.  If you look at those states, minus California... if you look at Oregon and Washington, the only places that vote Democrat are the heavy population centers.  So Seattle or Portland.  But outside of those cities, those states are all red.  It is unfair for everyone else, and this is common in many states.

If you vote in person, make sure your vote is counted.  Get a paper ballot or whatever.  Press them, even if they say they don't have them.  They are required by law to have paper ballots.

West Coast cities are different.  They haven't been around hundreds of years.  Most west coast cities are actually very nice, new, clean, very pretty.  But the most convoluted is Oakland and parts of Los Angeles.  LA is one of the few west coast cities with actual slums like the east coast, but just not in massive projects.  They are single family homes in LA's south side.  Oakland too, on a smaller scale.

I was doing some research and there are apparently Republican cities on the west coast!  This is fascinating.  So I found this city in Washington called Bellevue.  It is across a lake from liberal Seattle.  This Republican city of Bellevue is a Republican stronghold in a liberal area, and is ranked with the best economy in the state, fastest growing city economically, and is extremely safe with nearly no crime and problems!  That is amazing.  On average there are 20 new skyscrapers going up at any one time.  That is amazing to see.

Houston in Texas, one of the biggest cities in America is an example of a mixed city. Houston is considered to be a politically divided city whose balance of power often sways between Republicans and Democrats. The affluent western-central portions of Houston—such as River Oaks and the Memorial/Spring Branch area, as well as master planned communities of Kingwood and Clear Lake City—consistently vote Republican, while many of the inner city areas, Neartown, and Alief—are heavily Democratic. According to the 2005 Houston Area Survey, 68 percent of non-Hispanic whites in Harris County are declared or favor Republicans while 89 percent of non-Hispanic blacks in the area are declared or favor Democrats. About 62 percent Hispanics (of any race) in the area are declared or favor Democrats.

So, I noticed Silverwing observing that no Blue Tribesmen are posting on this thread.  In truth I'm Gray Tribe, but maybe I'll do?

I have a few questions, prompted by the last couple of pages of discussion:

1. Why is it surprising, or unfair, that political tides in cities dominate those in rural areas, in states where cities account for the majority of the population?

1a. I think the most reasonable way to elect the POTUS would be an instant-runoff vote conducted as a single national electorate.  Under such a system, sparsely-populated states would lose the additional leverage they gain from their guaranteed 2 Senate seats, slightly tipping the balance further towards urban centers.  Would that be even more unfair?  What would be a better means of voting than IRV for election to a single seat?

2. Republicans are receiving praise here, very probably deserved, for policies that favor businesses and economic growth.  These have mostly been policies from the Neoliberal spectrum (not to be confused with "liberal") that lean towards privatization, lower or flatter taxes, free trade, liquid labor (both between firms and between countries) and small government.  Trump, a Populist, is essentially an anti-Neoliberal, loudly supporting trade restrictions and migration barriers, with mixed messages on taxes and no consistent commitment to small government.  It is very true that free trade and looser immigration has had an outsized impact on workers in and adjacent to the manufacturing industries (though little-to-no impact on the owners or the output of those industries).  The backlash is understandable and legitimate.  But rolling back these policies will make the GOP a less business-friendly party and its economic credentials are likely to suffer.
My question is: what reconciles the view (even if mostly just joking) of Republicans as the party that yields pretty, shiny cities, with support for Trump: a candidate who rallies against most of the parts of the GOP platform that give them that reputation in the first place?

As of now, predictions show that the Senate will be a tie between Republicans and Democrats, though it is more possible it will go left.  The House is expected to stay Republican, but there are 20 toss ups.

1. It isn't unfair or surprising. whoever has more votes win.  It can be seen as unfair to the rural areas, and I understand that.  Too bad there isn't a better way to represent them.


1a. I don't have an answer for that.  You actually provided an idea, so thats good.


2. Trump is against the Democrats and most of what the Republicans stand for, you are right.  He is pro-America's future, or so he says.  The old way of doing government is over if he wins.  Spending tons of money to get stuff done, padded safety in government.... If Trump wins, he will truly shake this up and attempt change America for the future.  Our democracy would change and shift and hopefully better prepare it for the 21st century.  Spending tons of money on programs and going to wars all over the world would probably shift.  Trump wants to improve America's transportation system, which is actually something the Democrats have always wanted to do by raising taxes.  Problem is, they don't spend that tax money on anything they say they will spend it on.  So a Trump win is pretty much a big middle finger the "the establishment."  The established Democrats and Republicans and our old government.

Reports of Republican votes being changes to Hillary votes (http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/11/08/some-problems-reported-as-voters-head-to-polls/) is now a reported issue in Pennsylvania.  Pennsylvania is a very important toss up state that could go either way right now for Clinton or Trump.  Early polling suggests that Trump may pull off a victory in Pennsylvania, but now with reported voter fraud, this may lean in Hillary's favor.

Another report just now coming in, but Trump is currently leading in New Hampshire.  This state was a small toss up state that could be important in the long run for extra electoral votes is the race comes down to the wire.  42 million people have already done early voting.

Very good, Wolf. :)

* Florida's Latino turnout has accelerated. The number of Latinos who voted in person through Saturday (Early voting) was up fully 100 percent from 2012. It appears likely that more Latinos in Florida will have voted early in 2016 than they voted overall in 2012.  Latino's lumps in Florida's Cuban voters, but historically, Cuban voters vote Republican, while non-Cuban Latino's vote Democrat.

* Early voting in Florida's most liberal counties also show accelerated vote by Republican's turning out in record numbers.  Early numbers so far show more Republican's voting then ever in early voting in Florida.

* Florida is still a toss up we will closing be watching.  Their polls will close in several hours.

HILLARY is now winning in Pennsylvania.  A state that could go either way.

TRUMP is now leading in Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina, and Ohio.  All very important, but we still have evening voters to wait for. 

Colorado, Florida, Michigan, and Nevada are complete toss ups.  Hillary is leading slightly in most.

Out further west, Hillary is winning Washington, Oregon, and California. 

The first official poll closing will happen on the east coast first, in less then an hour and a half.

East cost polls close at 8pm. It's only 6pm now, about 5ish when you posted.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 15:08:59
Polls close at different times in different places.  Our first poll data will be coming in soon.

Reports of voter turnout in Conservative Florida's panhandle is extremely low.  This could hand over victory to Hillary in Florida.  At the same time, it is neck and neck currently in Florida and too close to call.

This race will likely be decided by evening voters, those who vote late at night after work.  This has historically been when the Republican push comes.

VA CLINTON 38 TRUMP 57

Trump winning Indiana and Kentucky.  Clinton has won Vermont and still holds a lead in Florida.  Only small percentages of votes are in, so expect things to change dramatically.

BREAKING: Trump now how a small leader in Florida with 55% of the vote in.

Brand new in, Ohio and North Carolina early results in, and Trump leads both. 

All these are battleground states.  We will soon hear early results from Pennsylvania which can go either way.  More leaning towards Hillary.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 17:03:55
We don't know which part of Florida's votes have been counted yet, but if Broward and Dade County have not yet been counting, that will be heavily Democrat.

Latest numbers now show Hillary Clinton back on top by one percentage vote in Florida.

Clinton has now pulled ahead in Ohio, North Carolina, and New Hampshire.  Clinton is pulling away strong in Ohio, probably the result of votes around Columbus, Dayton, and Cleveland. 

Trump is ahead in Georgia and Virginia.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 17:10:10
As it is trending now, Clinton is ahead in Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina.  All three are key to winning the white house, and if all three are won by Hillary Clinton, a Donald Trump victory is completely out of grasp. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 17:35:22
Michigan and Pennsylvania are next.  Trump is now one point ahead again in Florida.  Ohio pulled away from Trump to Hillary, same with North Carolina.

Watching Tv in common area. Dumb girl in my class is yelling and screaming about Florida. It's hilarious and annoying.

She asked me all accusatory why I'm voting for Trump. I decided to be a slight troll and say "because he's not Hillary." She goes "another reason" so I say "Benghaszi."

Then my friend asks her "Why didn't you vote for Trump?"

She kinda stares, I look up at her and quirk my eyebrow. She then turns around slowly and walks away. Classic Hillary supporter.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 17:52:41
74% of votes in so far.

Trump has slight lead over Clinton in Florida.

20% of votes counted so far.

Ohio is leaning Hillary.  Her lead is shrinking.
North Carolina is leaning Hillary.

With less then 5% of the vote counted so far.

Michigan is going to Hillary.
Pennsylvania is going to Hillary.
Maryland is going to Hillary.

With less then 2% so far.

New Jersey is for Trump, but that will switch to Hillary within hours. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 17:54:55
Maine is going to Hillary with only less then 5% counted.

New numbers in as we head west.  Very early numbers.

Oklahoma is voting Trump.
Texas is voting Trump.
North Dakota is voting Trump.

Still a few more hours till polls on the west coast close.

Trump is currently winning in all the toss up states.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 18:56:58
Less then 25% of votes are in for Michigan Minnesota, and Wisconsin, but Trump is leading them both.  This is currently unexpected by pollsters.

Hillary grabs Illinois and New Mexico soundly and looks to be ahead in Colorado.

Southern states have all backed Trump from Louisiana to Arkansas, and Alabama. 

Midwest was supposed to be mixed, but is so far leaning Republican to the shock of everyone.  Ohio and even Michigan are leaning Trump.  Indiana is Trump. 

New Hampshire is a toss up again, Maine is Clinton, New York is Clinton, Pennsylvania will probably be Clinton.  Virginia is toss up again.

Trump leads 2 points in North Carolina and handidly won South Carolina. 

With 95% of the vote in, Trump leads Florida by 2%. 

Title: Re: Politics

Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 19:14:43
This is an astounding turn of events at the moment, quite shocking.  But still, Hillary only needs to win one of the key states to hold victory.  At this moment, we are not counting California, which is a liberal strong hold, or Oregon and Washington. 

Trump is currently doing better then all main stream media pollers thought.  We have a long night ahead of us, and will have a clearer picture tomorrow.  Right now it is 50/50. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 19:15:36
Even with this clear Trump momentum in the midwest, as MasterX said, it is still very much a 50/50 race.  Trump needs to hold his leads to win. Clinton needs to just pull one of those toss up states in her direction to win. 
Title: Re: Politics

BREAKING NEWS: I am going to declare Trump the winner in Florida.  A key state if he wants to win the election.  99% of the votes are in, and Trump leads Florida by 2%. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-08 19:17:48
Yeah. It's scary. Anxiety levels through the roof.

But we all know Hillary is going to win California. So in terms of electoral votes, it's pretty much even right now, even if it looks like Trump's got a lead.

As am I. He's had a lead for awhile. I'm positive it'll be to him.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 19:19:19
Some more news in this latest batch of data.

Trump is now losing in Iowa and Virginia.  He was winning both, but late votes in Virginia have turned the state blue.  94% of Virginia's votes have been counted and he would lose 13 electoral votes which will go to Clinton. 

Clinton is also leading Minnesota. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 19:20:15
Trump has to keep his lead with the midwest to even have a chance when the left coast votes for Hillary.  Alaska may actually be a crucial few electoral votes, and right now Alaska is a tossup. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 19:22:42
Arizona needs to stay red and so does Nevada and Utah for Trump to further help offset California, Washington, and Oregon.

Though there is an extremely minute chance Oregon could go red for the first time in decades, but highly unlikely.  I'm talking less then a 1% chance. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 19:24:11
So far Rainy, your electoral map you made is holding up pretty accurately.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 19:35:34
Thank you.  If you were to fill in the map currently as it stands, Donald Trump will have enough electoral votes to beat Hillary Clinton.  But the night is young, and many states have only just started counting their ballots.  The midwest is key right now for either  Clinton or Trump.  Trump also has to win Texas, a huge amount of electoral votes. 

Clinton will get mucho electoral votes once California is in her pocket, and Washington State adds another big amount. 

Idaho just started reporting, and is currently 83% Trump.  That will change, but it will remain a heavily Republican state.
Title: Re: Politics

Title: Re: Politics

Trump is on the path to victory tonight whether he wins Pennsylvania or not.  We can now say in confidence he won Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin. 

If you want to see news casters in tears, watch MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS.  If you want to see upbeat newscasters, go watch FOX News or FOX Business.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 20:39:32
Yes, we can also call Trump has won Texas with a larger then expected margin.  Trump is winning Utah and Arizona.  If we combine all the states that are official, Trump needs just 16 more votes to win.

We can declare Hillary the winner of Washington, Oregon, and California.

There is now a 95% chance that Donald Trump will win the election.  FOX News is showing he has 254 electoral votes.  If Trump wins Michigan, the election is over.  It is currently 49% Trump and 48% Clinton in Michigan.

The New York Times show Trump has 222 electoral votes and Clinton 209. 

Another big shock, with 42% of the vote in, liberal Washington State is actually now a toss up.  48% for Clinton and 45% for Trump.  If Washington chooses Trump, this will be the first time Washington has voted Republican in decades. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 21:09:17
The group that is looking foolish tonight is the mainstream media.  They predicted and preached how impossible it would be for Trump to win.  It is sure showing that all their pollsters were completely wrong and bias.  I am enjoying watching MSNBC's hosts nearly crap themselves. 

Also watching FOX, and all the others.

Only FOX Predicted this was likely to happen.  We are seeing a landslide victory that completely blindsided everyone.

If Trump wins the election, he will have done so with zero support from the Republican Party, they gave him no money.  He has only spent a $100 million compared to almost a $1billion by the Clinton campaign.

The Senate and House will remain Republican, that is almost safe to call.

It was the most unlikely thing to happen by those who bought into the liberal media.  America has spoken and it is sick of the liberalism, political correctness, and it wants to be great again, strong again, and powerful again. 

It is as close to Trump winning this as it can be without it being declared.  Tomorrow, we will post the victory and concession speeches when we can find them.

Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-08 21:31:49
Trending on Twitter now #United States of Anxiety.... give me a break social media...

So I have been going over the latest polls which on average only show Hillary up 2 points at the very most.  So I gave her that generous 2% but also included Trump's continuing surge of 6% points almost a day.  I also included partially the closet Trump supporters which will be about 3-6%.  For this map, I made it 4%.  So this is what I came up with.

(http://i67.tinypic.com/6gvhpk.jpg)

It is a closer then my map before, but again, I am just using my own political studies and statistics degree and judgement on this.  In no way is it official.  It might even be optimistic looking compared to other maps out there.  One thing I don't show is three swing states or states that break down electoral votes such as Maine.  The three states that will likely go to Trump based off early polling/votes are Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.  So that would change this map up too.

My previous map (http://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=53.msg38351#msg38351)

Here is my map.  I leaned it toward the left, because I was not expecting the midwest to vote so conservatively.  It is the land of unions, and yet, the people didn't listen to their Unions. 
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-08 21:33:51
Your map is almost exactly right, Rainy.  You only got Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Wisconsin wrong so far.  That is impressive.

I think it is 98% safe to declare a Trump victory, Rainy.  Our 45th President of the United States of America is Donald J. Trump.

And to think, the Clinton's and the DNC as a whole, thought they deserved and had this election in the bag.  Hillary thought that against Obama last time too.  She truly is not that popular with people if she couldn't win against such an unpopular guy like, Trump... but then that also begs the question, how accurate are polls on unpopular-ness if all the polls were so wrong to begin with in predicting a Clinton victory.

The good thing about this election is it brings out the people who were too scared to come out as Trump supporters for fear of retaliation and violence.

If you are all now just tuning in, Trump currently has 254 electoral votes and needs just 16 more for a 270 victory.  He will get that victory if he wins Michigan, which we are still waiting for a final result.  Clinton has 215 electoral votes so far, way below projected totals for her.

And Rainy called that too!  His electoral map, he predicted as much as 6% of people were silent Trump supporters.  Turns out even his 6% was the low end.

Interesting looking at the map that we are both looking at.  The state saw a switch in one county to Democrat in a former Republican county, while Spokane, which was becoming purple, is now back to a solid red.

That may be at risk, I think Obamacare is more at risk.  He wanted to get of that.  But I believe a lot of things will be left to the states. 

Trump never lost heart or faith in doing this.  He never waivered, and always smiled and had fun.  He never doubted he could win, he never got depressed, even though he was attacked on all sides, even from his party.  That is something to be proud of, whether you voted for him or not.

Remember all the fake allegations of women being groped by Trump that the Democrats?  I'm sure there will be legal issues for that.  Every single one of those women, most of which who eventually wouldn't testify, all of them never said when they were groped or where.  There was never any evidence.

You also had the Hillary camp and the Democrats saying that the Russian's were tied to Trump and all the email hacks.  We then found out, Russia had nothing to do with it, and that the emails were most likely leaked within the government, which is worrying in of itself.

The triumph for Mr. Trump, 70, a real estate developer-turned-reality television star with no government experience, was a powerful rejection of the establishment forces that had assembled against him, from the world of business to government, and the consensus they had forged on everything from trade to immigration.

The results amounted to a repudiation, not only of Mrs. Clinton, but of President Obama, whose legacy is suddenly imperiled. And it was a decisive demonstration of power by a largely overlooked coalition of mostly blue-collar white and working-class voters who felt that the promise of the United States had slipped their grasp amid decades of globalization and multiculturalism.

With that, I wish you all a wonderful night.  America has spoken, and the time is now.  America will be made great again.

"Stronger together," was Hillary Clinton's message to her people.  She burned them by not coming to see them tonight.  She abandoned them.  Much like Bernie Sanders abandoned his base when he endorsed Clinton, a person who was against his very own ideals.  It is a rough night for liberals and Democrats, I will admit. 

During Obama's Presidency, Republican's originally tried to work with Obama, but he denied them.  It eventually led to utter grid-lock to a horrible Congress with no one getting anything done.  Trump will truly have to reach across the aisle too.

This election was won by the working class people and union workers of America, an unexpected base, who historically has been liberal.  It was truly the midwest that gave this victory to Mr. Trump.  An amazing night to see how this all panned out.  Will be excited to see news tomorrow and reactions.

Something that set Trump apart from Clinton was Trump's way of NOT being a politician.  HE had fun the entire time and poked fun at himself and others.  My least favorite aspect of his campaign was the way he immaturely called people names, but for the past few months, he thankfully hasn't done that.  Everyone, President Elect Trump.  I love this picture, lol!  It is a real picture at one of his events and he says funny things about the mask.  Who could possibly look like that?  Lol!  So handsome. ;)

There is winning with grace, and there is winning like a fool.  Everyone can pick their choice. 

So the election is over, and I am going to say I am proud of how you guys all kept it together.  Whether this was the outcome you wanted or not, no one ever attacked someone else.  That calls for celebration.  Free leftover Halloween candy no one wanted.  It's all the hard candies and gummies.

Canada tells American's they do not want liberals fleeing into their country, taking many measures (http://heatst.com/politics/canadians-dont-want-america-fleeing-american-liberals-especially-lena-dunham/).

They don't need to worry, American's are not leaving... and oddly all of Hollyweird is still there. 

Something else tonight coming from Russia's Kremlin and reported by Russia Today.  There is talk of them being relieved, because they feared Clinton was starting up a false war with them. I am sure we will learn more over time about this.

You... literally just answered your own question :P

More generally, the liberals need to stop moaning and take this result on-board.  Cthulhu may always swim left, but he is meant to do so /slowly/.

I do not find the butthurt glorious.  It's too early to condemn them for failing to listen -- they're going through the grieving process and are unlikely to update their beliefs for the next few weeks or months.  But I really do hope the butthurt tapers off after then.  It is possible to have an egalitarian, even globalized, society, and this will lead to the greatest net global utility.  But all politics is local, and the liberal establishment need to get it through their heads that some additional protectionist measures are quite reasonable to soften the rate of change for the most vulnerable members of the existing Western middle and lower-middle classes.

My 3-step plan for the DNC:

1. Knock off the holier-than-thou bullshit.  No one wants to listen to that, and guess what: they're not listening.  Stop tarring the protectionists with the same brush as the immigration minimalists, and stop tarring them with the same brush as the nativists and the racists.  When you do, you look hysterical.  Neurotic.  And you reach nobody who isn't already singing with the choir.

2. Consider some more protectionism in your policy mix.  It's feels absurd to need to tell this to *the left*, but apparently we do.  No need to throw Wall St under the bus, but get them to heel.

3. Radically democratize your institutions, or at least make a hearty show of doing so.  Why do you feel the need to connive and play dirty favorites in your primaries?  What the heck is up with super-delegates?  With any luck, this will also help avoid scandal-magnet Pres candidates.

You're welcome, DNC.  You may make the check out to the PSF.

(4. This one's for both sides: stop stacking SCOTUS with partisan toadies.  Everyone should agree to nominate moderate, committed jurists with a robust constitutional bent.  And then SCOTUS should try as hard as possible to avoid making law.  Certainly, they already ~try~, but I think they could try a lot harder.)

(Wow, I'm so good at solving these long-standing problems!  To continue my good work, I'll be heading to Gaza in the morning.)

So Trump tonight on CBS's 60 Minutes (the interviewer was horrible by the way, she kept trying to bait him and down talk to him) said he will not take the President salary except the required minimum of $1 dollar.  So he will be running the country for free, and hopefully that small chunk of change can be used elsewhere.

Let's talk about Trump's wife.  How come the liberal media isn't praising that woman?  She is an immigrant, she came here legally, knows six different languages fully, and is now the First Lady.  Isn't that a HUGE accomplishment that liberals and Democrats always say they want to see?  So we have a woman now who has defied the odds, and has shown that with hard work you can achieve anything.  Why is the press ignoring her and making fun of her accent and saying that her cause to tackle bullying is bad?  What the hell media and libs?

I never thought about how accomplished she is.  The Republican Party has had women in high positions many times, but when that is the case, those women get attacked and treated horribly whether it was Condoleezza Rice with George W. Bush, or Sarah Palin with John McCain.  Not to mention female pundits who are conservative like Laura Ingram or Ann Coulter.

There are still a few states counting their results... crazy I know.  They are getting final totals.  Trump may actually now pass Hillary Clinton in the popular vote, as trends are showing with these remaining few states.

Electoral votes, Trump currently has 290 and Clinton has 228.  Her numbers won't go up.

I think something glaring is how the group of liberals who are supposedly loving and accepting are still rioting and ruining our great beautiful cities.  These people need to be locked up for causing damage and destroying businesses.  How are they accomplishing anything by ruining someone's business or blocking an eight lane expressway?  I'm watching live coverage of looters in Chicago, New York, Portland, and Los Angeles right now, and it is sickening.

You don't see any conservatives looting or rioting when things don't go there way.  I would be ashamed of these looters and rioters if I was the left.

So over in the beautiful city of Seattle, they have an elected councilwoman named, Kshama Sawant (http://www.kiro7.com/news/local/petition-calls-to-remove-socialist-councilwoman/467242380).  She is from India and has been elected to a council position in the very liberal city, and even crazier, SHE IS A SOCIALIST.  So yesterday she came out saying she wants a "complete shutdown" of our country and is inciting a riot at the Trump Inauguration.  She has been leading riots for various groups in Seattle, all leftist, and all related to wages, LGBTQ, women's rights, Muslims, and of course socialism.  She's already been arrested before because of her violent actions during protests and riots.  There is now a petition to have the woman impeached.  She is an extreme radical that somehow that city has voted in twice now I think.  What would inciting violence at the inauguration accomplish?  Seems to me she is not respecting the peaceful transition of power.

Part of the reason for all these protests is this generation of whimsy new kids, who got trophies for everything ,and were taught that everything is okay and every is winners.  That just isn't the fact.  We've raised a wimpy generation of kids who are soft and get offended by anything.  They don't know how to deal with anything and have everything handed to them.  We now know that by this generation's failure to comprehend things that don't go their way, we should raise our kids about right and wrong, and that things won't always go their way.

So lets see which celebrities are keeping their promise on moving from the US if Trump wins. 

Amy Schumer calls people trolls who didn't get she was joking about moving, she isn't moving (http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/amy-schumer-slams-people-who-say-they-are-moving-after-trump-wins-presidency-w449633).  Here is the clip of her saying she was moving to Spain, and she was serious (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Dgu2o3BLA).  Amy Schumer was also the one who started that fake new article that reads something like Trump was saying "he would choose be a Republican if he became president, because they are stupid."  Clearly, all that was fake, especially since the article mentioned FOX News before it was even "big time,"  Ha!

Lena Dunham has backed out of her promise to leave the US if Trump won. (http://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/45834-celebrities-renege-on-their-pledges-to-move-out-of-u-s-on-the-back-of-trump-win)  She said she would move to Vancouver, British Columbia. 

Miley Cyrus had a complete breakdown on social media crying.  She said she would leave the country, but does not plan too now.

Chelsea Handler said she wanted to move to Spain, really badly is Trump won.  She then took back her comments and said she has to live with the choice people made.

Samuel L. Jackson said he would leave, but has been silent since the election.  Here's exactly what he said; "If that motherf*cker becomes president, I’m moving my black ass to South Africa."

Barbra Streisand, of course, said she would leave.  Guess what?  She didn't, and isn't planning too.  She's got her millions, she will stay.  She promised to move to Australia or Canada if Trump won.

Whoopi Goldberg said she didn't want to be a part of America way back in February if Trump was elected, but still hosts The View and hasn't jumped ship yet.

Lady Gaga disgraced the American flag by wearing it, and promoted Hillary saying, "vote for the first woman President."  She never said she would leave, but do you only vote for someone off their gender?  What about issues? 

Actress Drew Barrymore said, “Hillary Clinton is going to be the ultimate girl boss as our next president.”  She is upset and has no plans of leaving anytime soon.

Former Disney star, Raven-Symone has called Trump every hateful thing under the sun, and has said if he wins, she will leave.  She has been silent, but still resides in the US.

Actress Neve Campbell said she would move to Canada if he won.  She hasn't, but she did say she is "terrified."

Of course, now we have Cher.  "If [Trump] were to be elected, I'm moving to Jupiter."  I don't think you can move to Jupiter, even if you are joking Cher.  She is still here in the States with no plans to leave. 

Natasha Lyonne, an actress, has also said she would leave if Trump won.  She has not left. 

Madonna posed nude to show her support for Mrs Clinton.  Good way, right?  She also said she would leave, but she is still here.

Katy Perry did a ton for Clinton, doing several concerts and going to colleges to promote people to vote Hillary.  She hinted at leaving the country if Clinton didn't win, but never flat out said it to my knowledge.  She is still here. 

George Lopez said that if Trump wins, he won't have to be deported, he will leave by himself.  He is still living in his home in California.

Keep in mind, these  are the children in my own Gen X... where entitlement first began to become entrenched in our minds. I blame us.  Well, actually, I blame the schools we were sent to,; that's where the indoctrination began, in the mid-'90s.   It's very telling that the latest episode of The Simpsons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana_Wild_Weekend) was far more respectful to Cuba than it has been to most other nations the cast has visited. They seem to yearn for that simpler ideal, since many of the writers and actors on staff come from a generation born about ten years too late for Woodstock and have always resented the fact.

Children became entitled thanks to the Baby Boomer generation who out of pure honesty, tried to baby and nurture their kids the best they could.  Sadly it turned kids into trash.  Children given more, are selfish and depressed.  Kids with less, strive to work hard so that can achieve greatness later.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein calls for a recount, Hillary Clinton backs the recount.   (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_TRUMP_THE_LATEST?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2016-11-27-13-29-53)

"The recount comes at the request of Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who says it's important to determine whether hacking may have affected the results. Stein says she also plans to request recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

There's no evidence voter results were hacked or electronic voting machines were compromised.

While Hillary Clinton's campaign formally joined Stein's Wisconsin recount effort, a lawyer for the Democratic campaign has said there is "no actionable evidence" of an altered outcome.

Wisconsin officials say it will be tough to finish the recount by the federally required deadline of Dec. 13.

Donald Trump's incoming chief of staff suggests Hillary Clinton is backing away from a deal worked out between the two presidential campaigns on how the loser would concede to the winner.

Reince Priebus tells "Fox News Sunday" that Clinton's team "cut a deal" with Trump's team specifying that once The Associated Press called the race in favor of one candidate, the other would call within 15 minutes to concede.

Priebus says that's just what happened election night.

But now he's questioning whether Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias is backing down from that deal by announcing Clinton will participate in a recount in Wisconsin and may do the same in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The push is being led by the Green Party's Jill Stein.

AP's director of media relations, Lauren Easton, says AP "calls races when it is clear that one candidate has prevailed over the other. We have no knowledge of what the candidates do with that information until there is a public claim of victory or a concession."

One contributing factor to Castro's death was a persistent digestive problem, suspected to be colon cancer or  diverticulitis.  He refused to wear a colostomy bag, which caused severe infection and almost killed him. He had doctors flown in from Spain some years ago to conduct a grueling operation, which saved his life.

Democrats try to undermine election results as electoral college votes take place today (https://www.yahoo.com/news/electoral-college-archaic-unloved-prepares-anoint-trump-151910031.html). 

"Liberals and Democrats everywhere are rioting, protesting, and throwing a hissy fit over the result election results, which they claim, because of the electoral college, Trump won.  Due to votes only from California, Hillary Clinton would have won the popular vote. 

Big liberal names like Michael Moore, has said he would pay any electoral college voters to vote for Hillary, and pay any legal fines.  All over the media today, front pages, and opinion pieces are calling for the removal of the electoral college.  The LA Times went as far as to say the electoral college should be banned.

Since the election, Democrats have thrown every thing they could trying to delegitimize the election, even claiming Russia hacked the system.  They had a recount in Michigan in Wisconsin as well, which ended up finding 844 votes that weren't counted to Trump and increased his lead over Clinton.

The Democrats claimed Trump was being unpatriotic if he didn't simply accept the election results if he didn't win.  The Democrats are doing exactly what they claimed Trump would do, and it is shameful.
"

Electors given police protection from Democrats (http://www.post-gazette.com/early-returns/2016/12/17/Pennsylvania-electors-get-police-protection/stories/201612170147).

Trump off to a strong start in electoral college vote (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/d56309fad6af452686cef73adcfebf57).

Electoral College explained (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-hillary-clinton-supporters-need-to-quit-whining-about-the-electoral-college-2016-11-30).

"Shocked and appalled by the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency, some supporters of Hillary Clinton have turned to minimizing and even delegitimizing Trump’s election. In an era of severe political polarization, in an election with two candidates seen from the outset in highly unfavorable terms, after the most brutal campaign in modern history, and with an outcome that astonished just about everyone, these reactions are understandable, but wrong.

Many diehard Clinton supporters cannot bring themselves to believe their candidate could lose to Donald Trump. They think: How could such a crude and inept con man be elected president? Even after it has happened, it is unthinkable, a nightmare. So, the election must not have been fair.

Don’t miss: Lobbied, pressured, even threatened: What life has been like for Electoral College voters

Those on the fringe raise the specter of diabolical Russians hacking away at our democracy. More grounded Clintonians have less malevolent bogeymen — our Founding Fathers. As they see it, the election’s outcome should be blamed on a dysfunctional and archaic electoral-vote system. Hillary won the national popular vote. She should be president. It is as simple as that. The Electoral College should go the way of Trump University.

They are right about one thing: Clinton did win the popular vote, by some 2.8 million votes, as the most recent data show.

Yet Clinton has only 232 electoral votes (in 20 states plus Washington, D.C.) to Trump’s 306 (in 30 states plus one from Maine), making him the president-elect. So Trump’s election without a popular-vote plurality is regarded as an injustice. Some Democrats claim a moral victory as victims of an electoral-vote system that once again horribly “misfired.” Their claim, however, neglects two facts.

First, had the election been conducted with rules awarding the presidency to the popular-vote winner, the candidates and many voters quite probably would have acted very differently, and the popular vote might not have been the same. Trump and Clinton would have campaigned in the “safe” states. Potential voters in those states would have felt more pressure to turn out and to vote for “the lesser of two evils” and not to waste their votes on third-party candidates. Some additional Clinton voters would probably have shown up, but gains on the Trump side would probably have been larger as more reluctant Republicans would have been pushed to return to the fold, particularly in big blue states like California, New York and Illinois.

In short, a comparison of the national popular vote as cast and the electoral-vote division is no simple matter. This is particularly true in our age of pervasive polling in which people should have a good idea about whether they live in a state where their presidential vote might make a difference.

Second, Clinton’s popular-vote plurality over Trump depends on the votes in a single state: California, which single-handedly turns a Trump plurality into a Clinton plurality.

The electoral-vote system in 2016 (as in 2000, when George W. Bush became president despite losing the national popular vote) functioned as its defenders have long claimed. It prevented a single region (in this instance, a single state) from overruling the verdict of the more populous and diverse nation.

Donald Trump’s election is difficult for many Americans to accept, but there is no good reason to question its democratic legitimacy. For better or worse, Trump won the presidency by constitutional and sensible democratic rules that guided both campaigns and were known to any politically conscious citizen. He also won the national popular vote cast outside of the single state of California. Moreover, Clinton won all of California’s 55 electoral votes despite the fact that 4.3 million of the state’s voters voted for Trump. That big winner-take-all advantage for California’s Democrats and Clinton was certainly felt, but it wasn't enough to override her losses in many other states.

Under our electoral-vote system, American voters elected a national president, not California’s choice. It is in the nation’s interest for Democratic Party’s leaders and for Clinton voters to fully recognize the legitimacy of the election as they had urged Trump to do after the third presidential debate.

The Electoral College system worked as it should. It did not “misfire.” The election’s outcomes were ultimately about what Americans wanted and what they did not want — not about electoral mechanics.

Okay, I made this question last time and no one answered, but should we keep double posting articles? I just feel it's unnecessary to be posting it twice. Maybe post it where it feels most relevant. Because the double posting just feels like an attempt to keep bumping the two news threads.

Real US Unemployment rate at 9.3%.  Obama Administration claims it is 5.7% (http://www.gallup.com/poll/116479/Barack-Obama-Presidential-Job-Approval.aspx).

There are no fewer than 6 measures of unemployment, but Obama's administration is quite properly quoting the same one (U3) that's been used as the default/standard for a great many decades.  There's a decent argument that U6 (the one that's at 9.3%) should replace it, but claiming that a quote today of 5.7% is "wrong" or "not real", or that it hints at malfeasance, is an error.  Yet I keep seeing that meme turn up in parts of the media.  It's kind of annoying, because there are plenty of better metrics to criticize.

Indeed, this political obsession over jobs is mostly just political spectacle at this point.  The US economy is now pretty close to "full employment", in the economic sense.  See this chart of the U6 unemployment rate over the last 22 years (http://portalseven.com/employment/unemployment_rate_u6.jsp?fromYear=1994&toYear=2016) -- it's pretty much returned to normal.  See also here (http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=32233), where we can see one measure of wage growth showing an uptick after a long post-GFC flat, suggesting a tightening of the labor market.  There's lots of things to fix, if the incoming administration is up to it, but unemployment's not one of them.  (Though, granted, avoiding a backslide remains important, and improved policy conceivably could encourage unemployment to move /below/ its 20-year trend.)

(Note that the first graph also implicitly hints at one of the reasons that we're not yet using U6 as the default "unemployment rate" -- it wasn't measured prior to 1994, so we can't track or analyze it further back than that, reducing its usefulness as we can't compare it against previous large recessions.)

I watched President Obama's farewell speech.  He kept taking little jabs whenever he could, and his big flamboyant ending was ruined by the crowd cheering too early before he said what he wanted to say, so he was drowned out.  It wasn't that great a farewell speech.  The best part was when he spoke about his wife and Biden.  One of his daughters wasn't there for some reason.

I mean... yeah, he said some great things, but he didn't need to keep taking political jabs and asides.  If he would have just said his inspirational stuff, it was fine.  But there was a lot of bloviating and claiming all these great things he did.  He claimed race relations were better, and that America is more respected now then ever... and I know all that isn't true.

This is kind of just a little aside.

Firmly united.  I'm not one of those scumbags who said "Trump isn't going to accept the election results" and instead did accept them.  The Democrats are now the one's not accepting them, with several not attending the ingauration.  That is small, petty, and very pathetic looking on the part of those Democratic senators and representatives who didn't show up.  I know not to vote for them next time...

Fact of the matter is, Trump is the President.  When Obama won, Republican's didn't try to de-legitimize him.  Republican's have ever delegitimized an incoming president.  They respected the Office, got over it quickly, and welcomed the new leader, as should all those pathetic protestors.

I watched his eyes light up, especially during the parade.  He was bored through most of the day, but the parade was Barron's icing on the cake.  He especially liked the tractors when they came through.  Probably being in the city, you don't see farming equipment much.

Pres. Trump and Vice Pres. Pence saluted every soldier group that walked by.  They loved seeing it too you could tell.  The families had a good time.

She did mess up on some things for sure, but she tried.  I think we can all agree that trying to improve what kid's eat to stop the obesity epidemic is a good thing.  She made a few poor statements about things in politics as well, and said a few tasteless things against Pres. Trump that were unneeded.  It also wasn't cool how much money she alone spent on separate vacations and her wardrobe.  More then any other Presidential first lady.  Lot of wasted money.

It's because SJW's WANT immigrants to stay where they are. So they can use them to push their agenda.

You'd think SJW's would love my family for doing what they've done. Come to this country legally with nothing but a suitcase and dreams. Dreams to live the American Dream. And they did it. Among all my friends, my family is the most successful, and I'm trying to say that in the non bragging way. You think they think that's good? Not at all. They still try to treat Latinos and blacks like they need special treatment. Like, what, there's nothing we can do to prove we're just as good? No matter what we do, we're still poor helpless immigrants who need the help of white people to rise us up? Is that it? Ugh! It's so frustrating.

The same people who preach acceptance make fun of Melania. Why? Just because she disagrees with them. Despite her being the picture of success, beauty, and grace. Sure she has an accent, so what? It's beautiful. She's a beautiful, remarkable, intelligent woman. But no one can see that. At least not those who claim to have their eyes open. It's sickening.

I say leave the kids alone; focus on the college students. I mean, they fairly live on pizza, burgers, Ramen, and take-out chicken. To say nothing of those buffets.  I think more money goes into the cafeteria's budget than into the education coffers-- look at the shabby textbooks and slow, outdated computer labs most school have to do with, yet the kids gorge themselves on sumptuous meals daily.  I remember sitting down to meals of steak, quail, and frog's legs, and every Saturday you'd find me at my favorite table with my face deep in a plate of taco pie with melted cheese and waffle-cut fries and cartoons on the TV.  I still find myself far more nostalgic for the lunchroom than the classroom.

Yeah, we are lucky how fluidly our power transitions.  I've been posting recently stories on other countries such as South Sudan ore the more recently Gambia President who threatened not stepping down, even though he lost the election.  He had to be out of the office by noon and didn't budge until threats of the military taking him out by force made him leave.

Many from the Democrat Party and liberal media was trying to call out Barron as being "mentally" slow or mentally disabled because he seemed disinterested when he first appeared with Trump on the election win night.  He was just tired! He had probably been up like 18 hours. 

The media and Democrats did the same thing, making fun of Sarah Palin's mentally disabled child, calling the poor kid horrible names.  Yet they advocate special treatment, treating people as equals, and disability access? Conflicting much?

He is a good kid.  I don't know what his voice is, but I'm not sure it really has sunk in.  His Dad is the president.  He will appreciate it a more when he is a bit older.  He might still be too young to really know or care. 
Title: Re: Politics

The Democratic Party and liberal values are crumbling before our eyes for awhile.  No joke.  They keep shooting themselves in the foot and people are starting to notice it.  Yes, you got their super vocal minority who dominates media, social media, and universities, but it is all starting to crumble.

They pulled the race card, sex scandal card, used names, and are currently still trying to make up fake espionage with Russia influencing the elections.  So far nothing has worked, and they never expected a guy who punches back, in Trump.  It's been great watching the downfall. 
Title: Re: Politics

Trump's hands supposedly are slightly smaller then average.  But if you would have expected me to notice that or care in everyday videos of him, I never would have noticed.  I don't pay attention to people's hand sizes.  That was a tactic by the liberal's to try and lower him down a peg.  Seems pretty desperate to me.

Yes. Especially "special treatment" and like equals". As a person with some Asperger's tendencies, I've dealt with such treatment since college, and it really messed up my sense of perspective on jobs and relationships, rendering me unable to hold either for any great period of time.  Just treat people like people. Don't pretend to love and accept them while secretly plotting against them and trying to micromanage every aspect of their lives because they don't look or act or think a certain way
Title: Re: Politics

But why? Even before I started hearing about small hands there was already reports about him being a beast in bed. so why even try barking up that tree? (If they're trying to say small hands = small penis).

I'm so happy seeing them crumble. When Trumo called that CNN reporter "fake news" and told him off for being rude. It was so beautiful and amazing.
Title: Re: Politics

I don't know why the Democrats thought the small hands thing would be a good idea.  This year, their party imploded... and it started with Republican's thinking their party was going to implode.  Turns out the Republican Party is very strong, and the Democratic Party is on life support... but since Democrat's approve of hospital suicides, might as well pull the plug...

Well, the Republican Party wasn't strong per say. They were very divided. They only really felt like they got their shit together was election night. Because even up until that point it felt like they were also scrambling. But they didn't resort to as low measures as the Democratic Party.

The Republican Party has never gone as low as the Democrat Party.  The DNC is usually the kings of kicking and screaming.  That's why I am not a Democrat... I am a fiscally conservative independent. 

The Republican Party is still divided, but they have to swallow this election and start making do the promises of the Trump campaign, or else people will never believe them or trust them again, then you can say goodbye to the Republican's for a long time again.

So let me backtrack a little bit.  I was never a Democrat.  Socially I was kinda liberal, and still am.  But I am conservative in many other ways.  I guess I am an Independent who voted for a Republican President, and votes economically conservative.  I have voted Democrat in the city level (often because I have no choice) but for state reps and bigger positions, even judges, I usually vote Republican.

The term political statement is used to refer to any act or non-verbal form of communication that is intended to influence a decision to be made for or by a political party. A political statement can vary from a mass demonstration to the wearing of a badge with a political slogan. It was a term popularised in the 1960s but still has some currency.

No no no.
So CNN lied about the innaguration crowd, showing footage of it being empty and stuff on "live". And tonight while I was getting food I saw CNN on the tv talking about the "innaguration crowd lie" and I say "why are they talking about it when they made up the lie?". Since there are pictures of it wing crowded (and full of red hats). So this dumbass turns around (she's the girl who didn't know males have nipples) and says in this pretentious as fuck and snobby voice "Wrooooong~". And I go "No, liberal media lied about the crowd turn out." She goes, "no you can't argue that- you're just mad because you support Trump!". I take a deep breath, "I may support Trump, but that doesn't mean that they didn't lie just because they dislike Trump." We go back an forth, my friend shows up, whips out a picture. She shuts up and goes back to watching her anime. Rather than saying "oh, I guess your right" or "maybe I was mistaken" or "oh, I thought it was true". Just turns around and ignores us haha.

What a good way to represent women.  Good job Womxn's march.

Any idea why they don't spell it women?  This particular nationwide march is called, "Womxn."  It is written in a communist kind of font.
Because they want to nix "men" from the equation. "Womyn" I get ,kinda-sorta, but how do you pronounce "womxn"? Looks like a bad porno title. 

Don't even get me started on "her-story."    :o    ::)

These are probably the same kids who run to "safe spaces" at school when things get too real for them... which reminds me: they have puppies there for the kids to play with, right? I presume they have to get fresh ones every semester when the old ones age out of the system. What happens when the dogs grow too old for service? Do they get shipped off to shelters? Do they have special puppy mills cranking out new dogs for these selfish, spoiled brats' playtime? Where are the animal rights people on this? I'm reminded of that 2 Stupid Dogs episode where Hollywood gets glasses and can't see, so the Dogs wind up as his seeing-eye guides and lead him into all sorts of compromising situations-- see, if I ran a safe space, that's the corner I'd probably cut.  I mean, you can't just grab any old mutt off the street and press them into service as a therapy pet-- they have to be specially-trained.  Some twenty-something milquetoast punk would fuss if his therapy dog chewed up his crayons and ate his cookies, and I'd feel sorry for any pet they actually had to to take care of and clean up after.

Except, it kinda is. Unfortunately, due to terroristic crimes happening, we have to put our people's safety first. And unfortunately, that means we have to be a little more suspicious and be more careful screening them. Besides, I doubt this will be a forever ban. Probably just temporarily until we input better vetting processes.

It is a temporary 40 day ban on the 7 countries until they can better set up the vetting process.  They have also banned all refugee's from everywhere.

I know this is not a popular thing to sign, but something has to be done with our immigration process.  Whether this is the right way, I am not debating that.  It certainly is a dangerous move politically.

If they want to suspend visa grants to certain foreign nationals... well, I think that's a silly idea that is far more show than substance, and one that potentially works against the stated aim of security improvement by marginally increasing the rate at which "home grown" terrorists emerge.  But, ultimately, it's not really outrageous.

What *is* outrageous is the uncertainty and limbo that has been visited upon existing visa holders and residents.  I think that's awful and inexcusable, and a major screw up on the part of the administration.

Quote from: Death Blossom
Yep. They want unity as in hive mind. Everyone thinks the same

There's a bunch of things to unpack here.

I'm not sure where the exhortations to unite are coming from, but presumably it's encouraging everyone vaguely blue to unite with other blues and blue-ish people?  A call for sustained protests and opposing action?  Not a call to find middle ground with reds and unite as a country, politically.
Most liberals are not demonstrating.  Most demonstrators are not rioting.  Most rioters earnestly believe that their actions are far less damaging than those the Trump administration has taken and/or indicates it will take.  (On the direct level I happen to agree, but they are failing to account for the indirect value of the conventions of modern civil society and the rule of law.)

"Hive mind" is a pretty silly term that I could just as easily slap on Tea Partiers or Trumpistas or anyone else who from the outside seems unreasonably motivated for their cause and prone to repeating catchphrases.  There's a tremendous diversity of opinion in both blue and red camps; it's not very useful to pick a handful of the noisiest asshats and use them to describe half the country.

Promotion of free speech, as opposed to promotion of speech of which you approve in the name of "free speech", is primarily a libertarian virtue.  I see both reds and blues frequently applying very... object level analysis to free speech issues. (Obviously, it is also possible to be a modern liberal or conservative and still hold strong views on free speech; I am generalizing.)

I'm not sure what manner of chance you wish for Trump to have?  I was giving him a chance.  I still am, though to a considerably smaller degree.  This flurry of EOs and apparent (albeit not yet fully clear) disregard for judicial authority is tremendously troubling.  I wasn't particularly interested in the demonstrations 2 weeks ago, but I was one of those who donated to the ACLU this week.
In my view, a more reasonable order of events would have been to concentrate on confirming out the cabinet, then thoroughly discussing and tweaking any upcoming EOs internally, and only then to start releasing them, probably around April or so.  What we've got instead seems to be a damaging rush-job.
I'm earnestly interested in what you'd consider to be a reasonable next sequence of events, and general shape of the next few years, to consider Trump to have earned his chance?  Or, perhaps more concisely, what would Trump have to do to fully lose his chance in your eyes?

Fighting and dividing has been a major trend since... the 90s, I guess?  It has flared up because power has transitioned.  This is not remarkable.  It takes 2 to tango, and the dance is getting quite vigorous of late.  Every opposition now seeks to be highly obstructionist.  I agree that it's really quite irksome, and I wish the members of our esteemed legislature would hurry up and get over themselves.

If these claims of being surveillanced turn out to be untrue, then he will look real foolish and lose all respect with the American people.

If it is true, this is bigger then Watergate and could be a death blow to the Democratic Party.

No matter what, we don't need this type of squabbling within our government.  American is not a single race group, we are many groups of people united, and we need an efficient government to make this democratic republic work.

I watched it too, knowing it was going to be full of nothing but hot air.

I got in about ten minutes and she just kept yammering on about nothing.  Then I switched over to FOX News who was already reporting what SHE was going to report but didn't do until much later in her broadcast.  CNN wasn't even talking about anything as they too were trying to lambaste Trump.  So I just turned off the tv.

But it is concerning how far Democrats/liberals will go now.  They are breaking the law and trying to make news out of nothing, trying to impeach a president and delegitimize him.  What has he done so far other then win, and do what he said he planned to do?  The economy is currently great... and yes, he should stop talking about being survellienced during the election, but there is no reason to make up news Ms. Maddow and the left wing media.  You should be ashamed you have journalist badges.

So here we go boys... the US has spoken not just to Assad and Syria, but to Russia and China.  Xi Jinping is currently in Florida to meet Donald Trump right now, but this blow against Assad and his Russian backed military will send shockwaves.  It is a firm warning to the world, to not mess with the US and her allies.  This message should resound with Russia, China, and North Korea especially.  Don't expect these countries to back down, especially Russia will will not want to lose face or legitimacy. 

This move wasn't saying we will remove Assad, but it was saying that chemical weapons are a no go, according the the UN.  No European power would step up, as per usual, so the US stepped in.  Will she make the same mistakes as the past by removing a dictator to have possibly worse terrorist move in?  We shall see.  Russia will have to tread carefully, because it too doesn't want to lose Assad and it's Navy and airforce base in the country.

President Trump pulled out of the Paris Accord today.  World leaders denounced this as have the liberal/Democrat left.  Most people are simply going off party lines, not actuallt realizing what the accord was, as it has simply been labeled a climate change plan.  Let me educate you.

In short, The Paris Agreement builds upon the Convention and – for the first time – brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects, with enhanced support to assist developing countries to do so. As such, it charts a new course in the global climate effort.  It isn't a matter of fact in this stage and still in the working stages, allowing countries to be flexible.  Nothing in the current treaty is legally binding. 

White House aides said the administration would withdraw from the Paris accord using the process laid out in the agreement.  Under this process, the U.S. wouldn’t fully withdraw until November 2019.

The countries most affected by the bill are developed nations, who will have to foot the bill.  The majority spender by over 95% would be the United States, having to foot the bill for other countries.  So when countries like China and India say they are sticking with the accord, if you read the accord, they don't actually have to change their industrial patterns or pay into the accord for half a century.  So short term, why should they care?  The accord also allows anyone to leave, as there is no legal binding force to it.  So any country can leave at anytime.  Germany, and Canada say they are sticking with the accord, but again, it really means nothing.  They don't have to actually pay or contribute to it for a long time.

The accord would hurt many businesses in the US right away, such as the coal industry, which is already devastated.  This won't effect many European countries because many do not have to start taking action anytime soon.  Only the US is forced to take action, which would hurt American jobs.

Pres. Obama, legally, was supposed to have the accord pass through Senate, but didn't.  So I guess you could say what he did was illegal.  Pres. Obama didn't run this through congress, because he knew any rational person would ever approve of it.

It should be no shock nearly every country signed into the accord, because they knew the United States would pretty much be the only country to abide by it and redistribute wealth to other countries for "green energy projects".  Why wouldn't you sign onto something that would put the greatest, most powerful country in the world at a disadvantage?  But that also bring into question the motivations of former President Obama too, who continually tried to lower America's status to a more level playing field with the world.

So in reality, if you live in the US, this is a great day for the American people.  Not only will it help the American economy, it will also help the global economy, because the US is the biggest producer and provider of materials in the world.  Pollution in the US has gone down year after year in the past decade, and is already down 27%.  The private sector is continually creating more efficient and green ways for energy and manufacturing, and we don't need an accord to tell us how it should be done. We need to do what is right for America, and what is right for us, is right for the world... ultimately.

CNN Fires Kathy Griffin over mock decapitated Pres. Trump Photo (http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/cnn-fires-kathy-griffin-over-offensive-trump-photo/ar-BBBKgCX?li=BBnb7Kz).

The left is vicious.  They claim to be open to new ideas and welcoming... but we see time and time again, if you don't agree with them, they will get really dirty.  We've seen how the media has attacked the President NON-STOP.  You never saw this with Pres. Obama, and not nearly the same extent with Pres. Bush.  The level of media bias and right-wing hatred is beyond anything we've ever seen, to the point you really cannot trust most news outlets.  MSNBC, NBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, those are to name a few, all want to delegitimize President Trump and bring down his Presidency.  They don't care about the country and who the country elected, they want their agenda and liberal way of life to be just that, the way of life. 

Hillary Clinton recently listed off 24 reasons she lost the election (http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/448183/hillarys-excuses-losing)... blaming purely whom you would expect... but she never said anything was her fault. 

We are in a hostile time friends.  Don't let the media fool you.  Whether you voted for pres. Trump or agree with him or not, we have a media problem, and it is one sided.  Freedom of speech is at risk here, and we are to the point that if we lose out media, who can we trust?  Tweet's from the President?

It's incredible how weird this whole situation is. History really does repeat itself. Somehow they are willing to put more faith in corporations and big oil companies whose sole purpose is to profit and make money than scientists who have dedicated their lives to learning more about our world so we can better it. I think what strikes me the most about this whole ordeal is this idea of "wealthier is healthier, wealthier is cleaner". That is the entire point of the Paris accord! Of course it's more expensive to transition to clean energy! Our entire infrastructure and society is built around fossil fuels, but the problem is that it just is not maintainable or sustainable in the long run. The job thing doesn't really hold up either, you can logic that one out pretty easily. If fossil fuels die out, people will simply start working in more energy efficient plants. According to an Energy Department analysis released in January, coal mining now accounts for fewer than 75,000 U.S. jobs. By contrast, renewable energy including wind, solar and biofuels now accounts for more than 650,000 U.S. jobs. People can argue with scientific results all they want, but just because it snowed in Dallas doesn't mean the world on average isn't getting warmer or that the climate isnt changing. That's one of the biggest points of climate change, it causes severe weather phenomenon that should not happen. How bad things will have to get before people start to recognize how important making a transition to renewable energy is? On the other hand though, it's a little crazy to think some of my tax money is going into helping other, less developed nations to combat global warming. I don't think stepping out of the accord was a smart move by any means, but it certainly isn't perfect. A smarter, less controversial solution would be to take the other nations participating in the Accord and work out an equal payment act to keep everything fair. America does not have to stay with the Paris Accord to continue fighting against global warming, but President Trump is a business man. He knows what makes corporations and the U.S. big bucks. People only seem to be looking at the short term effects of the bill, when the long term effects are much more damaging. Sure, the U.S. will finically benefit from the bill at first, but over the long term it will be the wrong financial decision. The potential careers and job opportunities far outweigh the original cost. I can only hope states and other nations start to take a more efficient look at energy or we won't have an earth, then the money saved will be totally useless.

The biggest deal breaker with the Paris Accord from what I know reading into it, is that $100 billion dollars from "developed" countries goes into a fund to help poorer countries.  On that list is China, whose economy is about to pass the United States as the biggest in the world.... so why would they be getting money from our tax payers?  India is also on that list.  According to the treaty, which is not legally binding, China, India whom are the biggest polluters in the world, do not have to change their habits at all for at least a generation.  The only countries paying and having to change their ways is the United States, which has already changed our habits more then any country on earth, especially given our scale.

I think President Trump made the right choice here, because this bill would do nothing but hurt America.  Even the treaty alludes to saying that there is no way of knowing that everything that would and could be done in the treaty would actually change anything.  There has never been any conclusive evidence that CO2 is the core cause of climate change.  We know the climate changes, but the most conclusive theory known so far, whether the media reports it or not, is that the climate goes on cycles.  Warm and cool.  Many are reporting we are in a hot cycle... but if you look at the data, we are on the cusp to possibly entering a cooling cycle.  You can find data anywhere that will support your opinion and belief, and as MasterX was saying, it is hard to know who to trust.  Certainly can't trust the scientists who are being supported by certain groups anymore either... :-\

It sure is a sad day for free speech. The tweet was super insensitive and absolutely insane! I don't think a single person on the planet would agree that it is socially acceptable to post anything like that on the internet. (Well, maybe the guys who noosed up all the Obama mannequins, but no one liked those guys.) It's morally wrong to do something like that. She makes us look bad, like really super bad. No doubt she should be fired over this, it's not something you should post. I don't get why some people are so offended though? It's a comedic tweet, from a comedian. While disgusting and distasteful, it's simply just a picture. Comedy is subjective, people have different things that make them laugh. What I might find funny, might be totally crazy to another person. When does the line between comedy and threatening end? She surely didn't say she was going to cut Mr. Trumps head off. She could have meant a multitude of different things with that tweet, we honestly have no clue what she was going for. That's the beauty of art and comedy, people can express something in different ways every single time. While she should be fired for this tweet, why must people make a huge fuss about it? That's all it is, one persons artistic image online.

This I agree with, on a certain level. Yes, alot of different T.V studios have left wing/liberal views. CNN, NBC, etc... Then we have things such as Fox, Info wars, The atlantic, etc... They seem about balanced in terms of political beliefs, you just have to know where to look. One just seems to be getting alot more attention of the public right now.

The media only started caring about the Paris Accord about three days ago.  Before that, they were making up news trying to smear the President.  If this was such an important issue, why didn't the media ever talk about the needs for better practices to help the environment before hand?  Why wasn't the Accord heavily reported in October of 2016 when Pres. Obama ok'd the measure without Senate approval? Want me to tell you why?  Because this story fits right into the media's agenda to smear the President.  So they will make a big deal about it to make the President look as horrible as they can.

Quite honestly, I hate turned on the news, I hate seeing what lies they have to spew.  This really has nothing to do with the environment to them as it does to ruin President's Trump's chances to lead how he promised the American people he would lead.  They are using the environment as a blanket to fool the masses, and it continues to work.

The Paris Accord would do nothing to help the environment, because having money sifted through so many channels and hands... that $100b would end up being mearly nothing when it reaches it's final destination.  Not to mention corruption and squandering.  The best way for the world to start making a difference is if the public, private companies, local agencies and governments on their own start coming up with ways to combat what they feel climate change means to them.  You will get stuff all over the map, from hardcore to nothing.  But a big overarching, sovereignty stealing, plan such as the Paris Accord would solve nothing.

Not to be petty, but the Atlantic is not a conservative institution at all.  It is a well known liberal media outlet.

On the right you are constrained to the middle-right network of FOX News and that is about it for television.  For newspapers you have... well none.  The Washington Post sometimes, but you have a privy of online media outlets.  Info Wars, while having right leaning personalities, is not a news source for conservatives as a whole.  It is a conspiracy theorist source, but they are based on Conservative principle.  I am not bashing them, but just stating what Alex Jones and his team does.  There is certainly truth in what they say, but they go to the extreme that the majority of right America does not follow.  Conservatives do dominate the radio waves.

Meanwhile on the left you have every other news network, television shows and their views and agenda's, comedy shows, every newspaper in America for the most part, and most every internet outlet from Buzzfeed to Slate.  Liberals also own most institutions such as the ACLU and groups like that, as well as universities and schools of thought.  They do not own the radio though.

The level the left has gone attacking President Trump is to a level never seen before.  It is vicious, vile, and dirty.  The right never went to these extreme's with any President.  Yes, there were poor choices by hicks in the south and such, but that was NEVER promoted or endorsed by media outlets. 

Here we have media outlets literally spewing lies and vicious hate to a President, and his entire family.  They called out Trump's son, calling him "retarded" and "mentally slow."  I'm pretty sure when MSNBC, CNN, and the New York Times printed those stories, they were going against their very campaigns to have people not use those terms.

All I am saying, is the one sided attacks are at a level never seen before.  Not even during President Nixon's term.

Aww, yes.  To provide evidence for my point... I don't think anyone out there thinks the media is not bias, but here.

This is a study of news coverage on President Trump in his first 100 days in office.  It just came out a few weeks ago.  It is from Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy.  Harvard is a liberal school, and if they gave these numbers... well, it should tell you something.

CNN, NBC, and CBS gave Pres. Trump’s presidency 93%, 93%, and 91% negative coverage, respectively. FOX News provided the most even-handed coverage, with 52% anti-Trump coverage.

This turned out to be one of the most expensive, highest profile, most hyped special election for a single seat in the House of Representatives in a long time.

Democrats have put up a furious challenge in this red-leaning district, Georgia’s Sixth Congressional, which became vacant when President Trump picked its representative, Tom Price, for his cabinet. A little-known, 30-year-old former congressional aide, Jon Ossoff, electrified Democrats nationwide with his campaign and ended up raising $25 million

The district is increasingly becoming liberal as young people are moving in.  So it might be closer then we think.  Democrats also far outspent the Republicans as usual.  Both are pretty much unknown people, but the Democrat, Ossoff, became more well known because of Dem spending and notoriety.

Yeah, it will have jumps in percentages for sure.  As they get to more rural areas of the district, it will be more Conservative.  Inner city areas will be more liberal, but this is mostly a wealthy area that is very successful in business.  So it is more Conservative then all of Atlanta.

REPUBLICAN KAREN HANDEL WINS SPECIAL ELECTION BY LARGE MARIN.

Democrats touted this election as a referendum on President Trump, saying that if they Republican lost, it would bode poorly on the President's handling of the country.  But tonight, the Georgia special election ended with a large victory for Karen Handel over Ossoff.  53% to 47%.  This is the fifth special election lost for the Democrats since President Trump's presidential victory.  The Republican's have won every special election. 

This election will go down as one of the most expensive elections ever, with Democrats having spent way more then the Republican's.  Ossoff, who doesn't even live in Georgia's sixth congressional district, received over $25 million dollars for donors.  He received criticism as over 700 big donors came from from California, and only 400 came from within the district. 

Whats done is done, the Republican's have won, and the Democrats will have to eat their words once again knowing that their constant tirades against Donald Trump is not working and only tearing their party apart even more.

6 point margin is a pretty big win.  Democrats are 0-5 in special elections now.  Democrats were saying Ossoff was the "Trump slayer" but, that turns out to be not true.

This was a huge win not only for the Republican Party, but especially Paul Ryan who really needed this victory.

Democrats will come out of this more confused, not knowing which issues to focus on and what kind of candidate to put out.  Obviously people are not buying the "Trump is bad" rhetoric the Democrats keep making up.  A lot of second guessing in the Democratic Party now.

But how come they can call him names on their programs, swear at him, Kathy Griffon with his head severed off, a play in New York killing him, and so much more, and not even blink an eye?  Why isn't that inciting violence or spreading hate?  So to all the hypocrites complains about this Tweet....

President Trump gave one of his best speeches ever, and one of those speeches that marks a President beyond his presidency.  Pres. G. W. Bush had one, Reagan had one, and a select group of President's before that.

Pres. Trump was in Poland before the G20 summit where he gave a deep and chilling speech, propping up Western Civilization and all the pro's we as an entire civilization have.  He denounced Islamic radicalism as well as Russia and the lying media, but beyond that, it wasn't just how great America was, but how great Western Culture is and continues to be a unique place bringing together new ideas and creating new art as well as preserving.  It was a pinnacle speech, one that left the Polish crowd chanting both his name and yelling, "USA! USA! USA!" 

It is a speech that will be seen as the US taking it's place back on top of the world's grand seating positions, and telling that the USA is back on top again.  The US is to lead, not to follow, not to be passive.  When we are passive . . . well, you see what has happened after 8 years.  The world is a mess.

Link (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4670380/Donald-Trump-Poland-s-president-plot-against-EU.html)  Watch his speech below.


And some respected pundits below.




The left decried the speech because they don't like him being successful and they felt offended by his anti media comments.

The message is clear. Having pride in your identity as a nation should not be an idea that is beyond the pale. This is yet another example of President Trump's inimitable, unmatched leadership. Poland is a very clear example of the difference between western and eastern Europe.

I'm not much of a nationalist.  I am, however, very proud of Western liberalism (in the sense of "classical liberalism").  I fear that both "sides" of this dialogue are advancing greater authoritarianism, of one flavor or another.

And in this vein, I think there's perfectly good grounds for decring aspects of Trump's approach.

More generally, I am horrified by the absence of legitimate attempts to engage with other minds.  And though I don't think you meant it literally, I felt like pointing this quote out, since to model an outgroup as "just upset because they're losers" is a pretty pointed distillation of the problem.

I think that, at least in this thread, we should strive to be more analytical.

Pres. Trump's Poland speech transcript.  Get analytical.

Thank you very much. That’s so nice. The United States has many great diplomats, but there is truly no better ambassador for our country than our beautiful first lady, Melania. Thank you, Melania. That was very nice.

We’ve come to your nation to deliver a very important message: America loves Poland, and America loves the Polish people. Thank you.

The Poles have not only greatly enriched this region, but Polish-Americans have also greatly enriched the United States, and I was truly proud to have their support in the 2016 election.

It is a profound honor to stand in this city, by this monument to the Warsaw Uprising, and to address the Polish nation that so many generations have dreamed of: a Poland that is safe, strong, and free.

President Duda and your wonderful first lady, Agata, have welcomed us with the tremendous warmth and kindness for which Poland is known around the world. Thank you. My sincere — and I mean sincerely, thank both of them. And to Prime Minister Szydlo, a very special thanks also.

We are also pleased that former President Lech Walesa, so famous for leading the Solidarity movement, has joined us today, also. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

On behalf of all Americans, let me also thank the entire Polish people for the generosity you have shown in welcoming our soldiers to your country. These soldiers are not only brave defenders of freedom, but also symbols of America’s commitment to your security and your place in a strong and democratic Europe.

We are proudly joined on stage by American, Polish, British, and Romanian soldiers. Thank you. Thank you. Great job.

President Duda and I have just come from an incredibly successful meeting with the leaders participating in the Three Seas Initiative. To the citizens of this great region, America is eager to expand our partnership with you. We welcome stronger ties of trade and commerce as you grow your economies. And we are committed to securing your access to alternate sources of energy, so Poland and its neighbors are never again held hostage to a single supplier of energy.

Mr. President, I congratulate you, along with the president of Croatia, on your leadership of this historic Three Seas Initiative. Thank you.

This is my first visit to Central Europe as president, and I am thrilled that it could be right here at this magnificent, beautiful piece of land. It is beautiful. Poland is the geographic heart of Europe, but more importantly, in the Polish people, we see the soul of Europe. Your nation is great because your spirit is great and your spirit is strong.

For two centuries, Poland suffered constant and brutal attacks. But while Poland could be invaded and occupied, and its borders even erased from the map, it could never be erased from history or from your hearts. In those dark days, you have lost your land but you never lost your pride.

So it is with true admiration that I can say today, that from the farms and villages of your countryside to the cathedrals and squares of your great cities, Poland lives, Poland prospers, and Poland prevails.

Despite every effort to transform you, oppress you, or destroy you, you endured and overcame. You are the proud nation of Copernicus —think of that — Chopin, Saint John Paul II. Poland is a land of great heroes. And you are a people who know the true value of what you defend.

The triumph of the Polish spirit over centuries of hardship gives us all hope for a future in which good conquers evil, and peace achieves victory over war.

For Americans, Poland has been a symbol of hope since the beginning of our nation. Polish heroes and American patriots fought side by side in our War of Independence and in many wars that followed. Our soldiers still serve together today in Afghanistan and Iraq, combating the enemies of all civilization.

For America’s part, we have never given up on freedom and independence as the right and destiny of the Polish people, and we never, ever will.

Our two countries share a special bond forged by unique histories and national characters. It’s a fellowship that exists only among people who have fought and bled and died for freedom.

The signs of this friendship stand in our nation’s capital. Just steps from the White House, we’ve raised statues of men with names like Pulaski and Kosciuszko. The same is true in Warsaw, where street signs carry the name of George Washington, and a monument stands to one of the world’s greatest heroes, Ronald Reagan.

And so I am here today not just to visit an old ally, but to hold it up as an example for others who seek freedom and who wish to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization. The story of Poland is the story of a people who have never lost hope, who have never been broken, and who have never, ever forgotten who they are. (Crowd chants Trump’s name.)

Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Such a great honor. This is a nation more than one thousand years old. Your borders were erased for more than a century and only restored just one century ago.

In 1920, in the Miracle of Vistula, Poland stopped the Soviet army bent on European conquest. Then, 19 years later in 1939, you were invaded yet again, this time by Nazi Germany from the west and the Soviet Union from the east. That’s trouble. That’s tough.

Under a double occupation the Polish people endured evils beyond description: the Katyn forest massacre, the occupations, the Holocaust, the Warsaw Ghetto and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the destruction of this beautiful capital city, and the deaths of nearly one in five Polish people. A vibrant Jewish population — the largest in Europe — was reduced to almost nothing after the Nazis systematically murdered millions of Poland’s Jewish citizens, along with countless others, during that brutal occupation.

In the summer of 1944, the Nazi and Soviet armies were preparing for a terrible and bloody battle right here in Warsaw. Amid that hell on earth, the citizens of Poland rose up to defend their homeland. I am deeply honored to be joined on stage today by veterans and heroes of the Warsaw Uprising. (Audience chants.)

What great spirit. We salute your noble sacrifice and we pledge to always remember your fight for Poland and for freedom. Thank you. Thank you.

This monument reminds us that more than 150,000 Poles died during that desperate struggle to overthrow oppression.

From the other side of the river, the Soviet armed forces stopped and waited. They watched as the Nazis ruthlessly destroyed the city, viciously murdering men, women, and children. They tried to destroy this nation forever by shattering its will to survive.

But there is a courage and a strength deep in the Polish character that no one could destroy. The Polish martyr, Bishop Michael Kozal, said it well: “More horrifying than a defeat of arms is a collapse of the human spirit.”

Through four decades of communist rule, Poland and the other captive nations of Europe endured a brutal campaign to demolish freedom, your faith, your laws, your history, your identity — indeed the very essence of your culture and your humanity. Yet, through it all, you never lost that spirit. Your oppressors tried to break you, but Poland could not be broken.

And when the day came on June 2, 1979, and one million Poles gathered around Victory Square for their very first mass with their Polish Pope, that day, every communist in Warsaw must have known that their oppressive system would soon come crashing down. They must have known it at the exact moment during Pope John Paul II’s sermon when a million Polish men, women, and children suddenly raised their voices in a single prayer. A million Polish people did not ask for wealth. They did not ask for privilege. Instead, one million Poles sang three simple words: “We want God.”

In those words, the Polish people recalled the promise of a better future. They found new courage to face down their oppressors, and they found the words to declare that Poland would be Poland once again.

As I stand here today before this incredible crowd, this faithful nation, we can still hear those voices that echo through history. Their message is as true today as ever. The people of Poland, the people of America, and the people of Europe still cry out, “We want God.”

Together, with Pope John Paul II, the Poles reasserted their identity as a nation devoted to God. And with that powerful declaration of who you are, you came to understand what to do and how to live. You stood in solidarity against oppression, against a lawless secret police, against a cruel and wicked system that impoverished your cities and your souls. And you won. Poland prevailed. Poland will always prevail. (Audience chants Trump’s name.)

Thank you. You were supported in that victory over communism by a strong alliance of free nations in the West that defied tyranny. Now, among the most committed members of the NATO Alliance, Poland has resumed its place as a leading nation of a Europe that is strong, whole, and free.

A strong Poland is a blessing to the nations of Europe, and they know that. A strong Europe is a blessing to the West and to the world. One hundred years after the entry of American forces into World War I, the transatlantic bond between the United States and Europe is as strong as ever and maybe, in many ways, even stronger.

This continent no longer confronts the specter of communism. But today we’re in the West, and we have to say there are dire threats to our security and to our way of life. You see what’s happening out there. They are threats. We will confront them. We will win. But they are threats. (Audience chants Trump’s name.)

We are confronted by another oppressive ideology — one that seeks to export terrorism and extremism all around the globe. America and Europe have suffered one terror attack after another. We’re going to get it to stop.

During a historic gathering in Saudi Arabia, I called on the leaders of more than 50 Muslim nations to join together to drive out this menace which threatens all of humanity. We must stand united against these shared enemies to strip them of their territory and their funding, and their networks, and any form of ideological support that they may have. While we will always welcome new citizens who share our values and love our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism of any kind. (Audience chants Trump’s name.)

We are fighting hard against radical Islamic terrorism, and we will prevail. We cannot accept those who reject our values and who use hatred to justify violence against the innocent.

Today, the West is also confronted by the powers that seek to test our will, undermine our confidence, and challenge our interests. To meet new forms of aggression, including propaganda, financial crimes, and cyberwarfare, we must adapt our alliance to compete effectively in new ways and on all new battlefields.

We urge Russia to cease its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, and its support for hostile regimes — including Syria and Iran — and to instead join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and in defense of civilization itself.

Finally, on both sides of the Atlantic, our citizens are confronted by yet another danger — one firmly within our control. This danger is invisible to some but familiar to the Poles: the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people. The West became great not because of paperwork and regulations but because people were allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies.

Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. We must work together to confront forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture, faith and tradition that make us who we are. If left unchecked, these forces will undermine our courage, sap our spirit, and weaken our will to defend ourselves and our societies.

But just as our adversaries and enemies of the past learned here in Poland, we know that these forces, too, are doomed to fail if we want them to fail. And we do, indeed, want them to fail. They are doomed not only because our alliance is strong, our countries are resilient, and our power is unmatched. Through all of that, you have to say everything is true. Our adversaries, however, are doomed because we will never forget who we are. And if we don’t forget who are, we just can’t be beaten. Americans will never forget. The nations of Europe will never forget. We are the fastest and the greatest community. There is nothing like our community of nations. The world has never known anything like our community of nations.

We write symphonies. We pursue innovation. We celebrate our ancient heroes, embrace our timeless traditions and customs, and always seek to explore and discover brand-new frontiers.

We reward brilliance. We strive for excellence, and cherish inspiring works of art that honor God. We treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression.

We empower women as pillars of our society and of our success. We put faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, at the center of our lives. And we debate everything. We challenge everything. We seek to know everything so that we can better know ourselves.

And above all, we value the dignity of every human life, protect the rights of every person, and share the hope of every soul to live in freedom. That is who we are. Those are the priceless ties that bind us together as nations, as allies, and as a civilization.

What we have, what we inherited from our — and you know this better than anybody, and you see it today with this incredible group of people — what we’ve inherited from our ancestors has never existed to this extent before. And if we fail to preserve it, it will never, ever exist again. So we cannot fail.

This great community of nations has something else in common: In every one of them, it is the people, not the powerful, who have always formed the foundation of freedom and the cornerstone of our defense. The people have been that foundation here in Poland — as they were right here in Warsaw — and they were the foundation from the very, very beginning in America.

Our citizens did not win freedom together, did not survive horrors together, did not face down evil together, only to lose our freedom to a lack of pride and confidence in our values. We did not and we will not. We will never back down. (Audience chants Trump’s name.)

As long as we know our history, we will know how to build our future. Americans know that a strong alliance of free, sovereign and independent nations is the best defense for our freedoms and for our interests. That is why my administration has demanded that all members of NATO finally meet their full and fair financial obligation.

As a result of this insistence, billions of dollars more have begun to pour into NATO. In fact, people are shocked. But billions and billions of dollars more are coming in from countries that, in my opinion, would not have been paying so quickly.

To those who would criticize our tough stance, I would point out that the United States has demonstrated not merely with words but with its actions that we stand firmly behind Article 5, the mutual defense commitment.

Words are easy, but actions are what matters. And for its own protection — and you know this, everybody knows this, everybody has to know this — Europe must do more. Europe must demonstrate that it believes in its future by investing its money to secure that future.

That is why we applaud Poland for its decision to move forward this week on acquiring from the United States the battle-tested Patriot air and missile defense system — the best anywhere in the world. That is also why we salute the Polish people for being one of the NATO countries that has actually achieved the benchmark for investment in our common defense. Thank you. Thank you, Poland. I must tell you, the example you set is truly magnificent, and we applaud Poland. Thank you.

We have to remember that our defense is not just a commitment of money, it is a commitment of will. Because as the Polish experience reminds us, the defense of the West ultimately rests not only on means but also on the will of its people to prevail and be successful and get what you have to have. The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?

We can have the largest economies and the most lethal weapons anywhere on Earth, but if we do not have strong families and strong values, then we will be weak and we will not survive. If anyone forgets the critical importance of these things, let them come to one country that never has. Let them come to Poland. And let them come here, to Warsaw, and learn the story of the Warsaw Uprising.

When they do, they should learn about Jerusalem Avenue. In August of 1944, Jerusalem Avenue was one of the main roads running east and west through this city, just as it is today.

Control of that road was crucially important to both sides in the battle for Warsaw. The German military wanted it as their most direct route to move troops and to form a very strong front. And for the Polish Home Army, the ability to pass north and south across that street was critical to keep the center of the city, and the uprising itself, from being split apart and destroyed.

Every night, the Poles put up sandbags amid machine gun fire — and it was horrendous fire — to protect a narrow passage across Jerusalem Avenue. Every day, the enemy forces knocked them down again and again and again. Then the Poles dug a trench. Finally, they built a barricade. And the brave Polish fighters began to flow across Jerusalem Avenue. That narrow passageway, just a few feet wide, was the fragile link that kept the Uprising alive.

Between its walls, a constant stream of citizens and freedom fighters made their perilous, just perilous, sprints. They ran across that street, they ran through that street, they ran under that street — all to defend this city. “The far side was several yards away,” recalled one young Polish woman named Greta. That mortality and that life was so important to her. In fact, she said, “The mortally dangerous sector of the street was soaked in the blood. It was the blood of messengers, liaison girls, and couriers.”

Nazi snipers shot at anybody who crossed. Anybody who crossed, they were being shot at. Their soldiers burned every building on the street, and they used the Poles as human shields for their tanks in their effort to capture Jerusalem Avenue. The enemy never ceased its relentless assault on that small outpost of civilization. And the Poles never ceased its defense.

The Jerusalem Avenue passage required constant protection, repair, and reinforcement, but the will of its defenders did not waver, even in the face of death. And to the last days of the uprising, the fragile crossing never, ever failed. It was never, ever forgotten. It was kept open by the Polish people.

The memories of those who perished in the Warsaw Uprising cry out across the decades, and few are clearer than the memories of those who died to build and defend the Jerusalem Avenue crossing. Those heroes remind us that the West was saved with the blood of patriots; that each generation must rise up and play their part in its defense — and that every foot of ground, and every last inch of civilization, is worth defending with your life.

Our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield — it begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls. Today, the ties that unite our civilization are no less vital, and demand no less defense, than that bare shred of land on which the hope of Poland once totally rested. Our freedom, our civilization, and our survival depend on these bonds of history, culture, and memory.

And today as ever, Poland is in our heart, and its people are in that fight. Just as Poland could not be broken, I declare today for the world to hear that the West will never, ever be broken. Our values will prevail. Our people will thrive. And our civilization will triumph. (Audience chants Trump’s name.)

Thank you. So, together, let us all fight like the Poles — for family, for freedom, for country, and for God.

Thank you. God Bless You. God bless the Polish people. God bless our allies. And God bless the United States of America.

Thank you. God bless you. Thank you very much.

President Trump's speech to the nation.  August 21, 2017.  This is incase you did not see it.  He laid out his future plans for Afghanistan and our path forward in Southern Asia.  He laid out to the nation's in question that we are not there to expand an empire, but to truly stop Islamic terrorism and extremism.  We can't do it alone, and the nations that harbor these people need to step up to stop terrorism as well.  We are not their to invade their lands and take over.  He used the military as an image of patriotism and shared beliefs to try and unite the country after some of the recent race based events and the Confederate removal movement. it was one of the most transparent and honest speeches to the American people I have ever seen/heard. It was a really good speech, but the liberal media probably will not give him any credit for it.


Here is a snippet from the speech I think everyone should read.

“The men and women of our military operate as one team, with one shared mission, and one shared sense of purpose. They transcend every line of race, ethnicity, creed, and color to serve together and sacrifice together in absolutely perfect cohesion. That is because all service members are brothers and sisters.  They’re all part of the same family. It’s called the American family… Loyalty to our nation demands loyalty to one another. Love for America requires love for all of its people.  When we open our hearts to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice, no place for bigotry, and no tolerance for hate." - President Trump

I don't usually get into political matters, but I had to say something here.

It is amazing how much the media attacks our President.  Yes it is true President Trump says some really poor things, but strangely enough, he somehow ends up right much of the time. They would rather destabilize our country to ruin President Trump, then what is actually best for our country.  This might be distasteful, but here are two images.

If you don't know who Geraldo Rivera is at the end, he's probably one of the most recognized news reporters of all time, and a fairly liberal guy.  Geraldo's Tweet is in response to what the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico is saying.  Note also Geraldo is Hispanic and in San Juan and has been for several weeks and during Hurricane Maria.

Note also the screen cap is from mouthpiece of hate, MSNBC.  0ver 92% of what they say is anti Trump and anti Conservative view points.  This same mayor also praised the President just a few days before.

While Dr. Seuss did produce some anti-Japanese propaganda early in his career, he was hardly the only one--a lot of it was floating around during WWII.  Uncomfortable as it may be, it's part of our nation's history.   His later works deal more with social satire and take on such problems as prejudice and  discrimination ("The Sneetches"), war and the arms race ("The Butter Battle Book"), and environmental issues ("The Lorax").   If anything, progressives should celebrate Seuss' innovative and forward-thinking ideas, not decry him as a racist.

And now more information.  So pretty much this whole time, the Democratic Party made up stories against Trump to hide the truth of what they were actually doing.  Like I said guys, this is going to have a huge fall out.  CNN and MSNBC are doing their best to hide these stories completely coming up with new "breaking news" stories where they try to blame Trump on getting Clinton's emails.... well, you know what, instead of me telling you fake news, check out some real news.  It seems all the loose ends are tying together now...

"According the Washington Post, Marc E. Elias, a lawyer for the Clinton campaign and DNC, and his law firm, Perkins Coie, hired Fusion GPS last April to investigate Trump with the help of Christopher Steele, a former British spy. The Steele dossier was reportedly used by the FBI to form part of its investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.  Therefore since it was all fabricated, there is no case against Trump."

Clinton Campaign and Democratic Party PAID Russia for dirt on Trump (https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/clinton-campaign-dnc-helped-pay-for-work-on-dossier-about-russia-and-trump/).

Clinton campaign, DNC helped pay for work on dossier about Russia and Trump (https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/clinton-campaign-dnc-helped-pay-for-work-on-dossier-about-russia-and-trump/).

Holy crap!  Hillary is in very deep.  If she hasn't been nervous yet of all these things, she better start worrying.  And did Bernie Sanders shut up because he was paid?  Did Biden truly not run because the Clinton's and Obama forced him not too?  Oh my gosh, it is all being answered.

We found out her ties with Russia, the Iranian nuclear deal, The Uranium One deal with Russia.  There is so much corruption and lying here just being revealed, and yet she is the one claiming foul play with Trump?  He hasn't actually done anything!  Over a year in their special council and they have found ZERO evidence of him colluding with Russia or anything.  Yet all the issues are stemming from HER!  Why is our Attorney General not placing investigations on her and the Democratic Party?  This news is huge tonight!

Roy Moore Refuses To Concede Alabama Senate Race, Race Too Close To Call (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/13/alabama-senate-election-doug-jones-wins-in-major-upset-roy-moore-wont-yet-concede.html).

If Democrat Doug Jones wins, it will be the first Democrat to Senate in Alabama in over 25 years.  Moore was seen as a losing candidate to begin with because of the accusations against him of harassment from over 35 years ago.  One accusers has come out saying she lied about what he did, and a lot are starting to think this was orchestrated by the Democratic Party.

I guess we will find out more tomorrow.

Others are starting to report this news, and it's huge, you're right!  But CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS are strangely not reporting it.  Ha!  Everyone knows their liberal bias, they don't want to report stuff that is against their agenda.  Instead they are ranting against Trump and trying to make claims of obstruction now since the Russia collusion turned up zero after over a year of investigating.

Their whole world and lie is crumbling down before them.  The Democrats tried so hard to delegitimize President Trump, and now we are seeing just how corrupt and how far they would go to make it so Trump or Bernie Sanders couldn't win.  They wanted it to be the same as usual, some weird order within the government?  Whatever it is, Trump was a worry for them and they did everything they could and under the Obama Administration, the American federal government became so corrupt and so deep state, we never could have expected all this.  It is shocking, every day, all this new info being revealed.  The Clinton's are now dead silent. The Democrats shut up about collusion with Russia on Trump, and are quickly trying to cover their tracks.  Obama has magically left the country....

I understand political bias and party lines, but all these liberal media outlets should realize how dangerous all this news is if we have just these few elites choosing who wins elections and controlling everything.  It is no longer a Democratic Republic if that is the case... which in many cases, I think these liberal media outlets are okay for as long as their political party wins.

It is such a blessing and will help my business enormously.  I will be able to save more and pay more.

The tax break is going to help me so much too.  So thankful it passed and was done.  People don't realize how hard it is for small businesses to thrive with all the regulations and penny takers from the past 8 years.

All I've heard about this tax plan is how much it'd add to the mountain of debt we're already in. Might need to research it further though.

Tax plan adds to it yes, but we've already cut elsewhere (Gov spending, Gov jobs, Paris Accord, Global trade plan, TPP).  It balances itself out.  Depending on your news source, some places only want to report the bad to delegitimize anything good coming from this presidency.

From what I've read already, short term tax cuts, but after they expire in 2025, the tax rate will rise incredibly quickly. Apparently it's also a big win for families who send their kids to private school.

Yeah, no.  You're just picking the bad.  Yes, the taxes go up, but there is the option to extend it too.  But by that time, the amount of money people will be making, it will be alright.  You have to figure we haven't seen increases in wages since the 1970s.  These tax cuts are finally allowing people to save more, prepare for the future.  It also allows people the option to spend more in the economy.  Companies have more to spend and hire more employees.  Hundreds of companies have already given out extra big Christmas bonuses because of the tax cuts.  Its a benefit to everyone.

Every single category of the 7 brackets see's a tax cut.  The one that see's the least tax cut benefit are the top brackets, the wealthiest, but it also effects them the least.

Be happy for the biggest overhaul in our tax code since the 80s.  This is great for the economy and great for all families.

From what I've read so far this bill is both pretty good, and shitty at the same time. It allows for massive tax breaks for corporations and the rich, but also helping the middle class. However, it seems like a shot in the dark. It seems like the republicans just hope that companies will hire more workers, or that companies will hike wages. That's a big if though. The tax plan seems to really favor the wealthy, and corporations, while sort of helping the poor. It does hurt the housing market however.

Overall, I don't really know how to feel so far. It's a good plan in some respects, yet it throws more money at the US mountain of debt and hopes that it goes away. I'll definitely need more research on it, but then and again, I'm not a mathematician. I don't really know how all this works, so I might totally be wrong. I don't really want to debate the tax bill either, but you never know the long term effects of stuff like this.

Anyway... happy New Years!

The list goes on, but there have been hundreds of companies so far that have publicly said they are raising their wages for employee's, hiring new people, or giving bonuses.  They are all directly tied to the tax plan.

The tax plan seems to really favor the wealthy, and corporations, while sort of helping the poor. It does hurt the housing market however.

Well your wrong in saying that is "sort of helps the middle class."  It totally helps the middle class.  It will resoundingly help the middle class (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-senate-tax-bill-is-exactly-what-the-middle-class-needs/2017/11/09/1eddff30-c589-11e7-84bc-5e285c7f4512_story.html?utm_term=.3e0c50489a93).  This graph breaks it down nicely. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanellis/2017/11/16/top-five-ways-the-senate-tax-reform-bill-cuts-taxes-for-middle-class-families/#8b202691e2fe)

1. It lowers the tax rate.
2. Gives a Larger Standard Deduction
3. Bigger Child Tax Credit (Helps families)
4. Eliminates Obamacare Mandate Fines (which were over $450 to $2,000 dollars in most states)
5. Gets rid of the AMT (The AMT is a parallel tax system that forces people to calculate their taxes twice, and then pay whichever version comes out higher)

Opponents of this bill have made a number of claims, either misunderstanding the policies in the bill or deliberately misrepresenting their effects. It lowers tax rates, doubles the child tax credit to $2,000, and doubles the standard deduction to $24,000 per family. This means a larger "zero income tax bracket," which will take about 3 million more lower-income Americans off the tax rolls altogether.  Yeah, those lucky folk!

For example, a single parent with two children earning $52,000 a year will see a 36 percent reduction in their taxes. A family with two kids earning $85,000 a year will see a 20 percent reduction in their taxes. And a family with two kids earning $165,000 a year will see an eight percent reduction in their taxes. This is because the biggest proportion of tax benefit goes to middle-class families at the lower end of the economic ladder.

As well what helps the higher earning income brackets will help the lower income brackets too.  The higher earners are the ones providing jobs and building businesses.  If they have more money to invest, it will help the lower earners as well.  Evidence was posted in my first paragraph above.

...yet it throws more money at the US mountain of debt and hopes that it goes away.

The amended House Republican tax plan will increase budget deficit by $1.7 trillion over 10 years. 

Under President Obama, the United States accumulated more debt under his presidency then all the president's combined in American history (https://www.thebalance.com/us-debt-by-president-by-dollar-and-percent-3306296).  He added $17,687,136,723,410.59 in debt which was a 70% increase over Pres. Bush (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/national-debt-has-increased-more-under-obama-than-under-bush/).  So for all of a sudden certain political parties to NOW care about the "tiny" $1.7 trillion in comparison makes me laugh.  I agree, we need to get rid of debt, but there have been several measures already taken into effect to chip away at this.  Not to mention the huge drop in wasted government spending and jobs. We'll know more when the end of the year financial are revealed.

In all, there is a lot of good in this bad boy.

You pose a question that I don't think has a single answer.  I think two major changes in American culture were 9/11 and the liberalization of America under the Obama administration.  Though, that liberalization may be in peril possibly with the Trump Administration.  As we saw in the election, quite conservative America woke up and voted. The smaller college aged liberal America is loud, but didn't beat it... though being that millennial are overwhelming liberal and the next generation with far more people then Baby Boomers, in the long run, we may see a Europe United States.

Morals change and shift.  Quoting roughly from a Biblical line, you need a rock solid foundation.  You are only going to be as strong as your leader.  So it really depends on what our administration promotes and how they project ourselves to the world.  Liberal will me less foundational morality. Conservative will mean more traditional morality.  (Generalizing) 9/11 was a wake up period.  A new "birth" if you will of America.  Obama was this new America exploring it's world and trying new things.  Some could argue Trump is more of that "exploring new things" phase but with some traditional values thrown in, as well as some kick ass attitude and strength that is projected to the world. 

So... what am I trying to say?  You read it and figure it out.  @NostradamusTheSeer

STUDY ON MEDIA COVERAGE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP, YEAR ONE.

(https://www.newsbusters.org/s3/files/styles/blog_body-100/s3/images/jan16chart1.jpg)
(90% of news coverage was negative in 2017 to President Trump, biggest offenders were CNN and MSNBC)

(https://www.newsbusters.org/s3/files/styles/blog_body-100/s3/images/jan16chart3.jpg)
(Negative coverage)

(https://www.newsbusters.org/s3/files/styles/blog_body-100/s3/images/jan16chart2.jpg)
(Policy coverage)

STUDY: All the attempts Democrats Have Made in 2017 and 2018 so far to de-legitimize the President have failed... Not Accepting Election Results, Russia Collusion, Rigged Election, Racist, Dementia Claims, Physically Unfit, Only a Hollywood Actor, Unhealthy Lifestyle, Mentally Unstable, Sexist, Bannon Runs The Show, Poor Response To Hurricanes, List Goes On... (https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/rich-noyes/2018/01/16/2017-year-news-media-went-war-against-president)

STUDY: Majority of Coverage Focused On False Controversies and Stories Instead of Policy and What was Actually Accomplished (https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/rich-noyes/2018/01/16/2017-year-news-media-went-war-against-president).


The media reaction to Trump’s first year has been so extreme, the public itself has become polarized over the coverage. In September, Gallup discovered that record numbers of Democrats are reporting “trust and confidence in the mass media to report the news ‘fully, accurately and fairly,’” with 72 percent of Democrats saying they trusted the press in 2017, compared to just 51 percent who said that a year ago.

A month later, a Politico/Morning Consult poll found that “more than three-quarters of Republican voters, 76 percent, think the news media invent stories about Trump and his administration.” That number swells to 85 percent when just Trump supporters are asked the question.

What seems to be happening is that many in the media, including the broadcast networks, have chosen to morph into anti-Trump activists. As a result, they provide massive attention to stories that they think make him look bad, give little airtime to more positive aspects of his administration, and punish him with massively negative spin.

The study suggests anti-Trump Democrats love that kind of news that degrades the President (over 72% believed it among Democrats), pro-Trump Republicans hate it (less then 15% of Republican's trusted the news being reported) — while the national media are cementing their reputation as biased partisans. Their hostility against the White House is now so obvious, nobody could possibly take them seriously if they ever again claim to be fair and non-partisan professionals.

A powerful State of the Union address by the President that was very clear and straight forward.  There was a lot of emotion and a major hand out to opposing sides.  There was substance and a promising line to North Korea, not stating war actions, but the act that people want freedom.  The people he brought up and spoke about were terrific including the Officer and his wife who adopted the drug-kid and the very powerful story with the soldier and the Korean who held up the crutch. 

As for the response by the Democrats to the State of the Union, it was the weakest response I have seen in my 20 plus years of watching these.  There was zero substance and fake tears.  Pathetic.

There is going to be a lot of unhappy people overt he aluminum and steel tariffs if that happens.  It seems like it would hurt our glowing economy.

I understand we need to have a more fair trade economy with countries who are ripping us off due to bad trade deals, but this worries me.

I'm hoping in the long term this was the right thing.  We can't have people thinking it is okay to use chemical weapons.  That is why it was internationally agreed upon and banned after World War I.   If Assad used chemical weapons against his people (in an attempt to take out the terrorist groups hiding within the civilians) I think this targeted attack was a good move.  It didn't embolden rebels by blowing up Syrian military units.  It only aimed and destroyed their chemical weapons research labs, storage facilities, etc.

Syria knows the international community would never allow them to have nuclear weapons, so they legitimize their strength in the region through chemical weapons.

Wow, it's funny to see that there are people here with a positive opinion of Trump.  XD  I'm always careful about where I say anything vaguely complimentary about the guy these days.  He does deserve credit for some good things that are happening and it's really frustrating to see all the people who won't admit the positives. 

For the record, I think he's pretty good, and my opinion of him has been on a slow but steady uptick since he won (it was "Meh" then).  I trust that that is an acceptable opinion here?

He's doing much better then anyone gives him credit for, especially the media.  I felt he was the best choice between the two left, but he was not my original choice.  I am thrilled he is succeeding because that means we as citizens are succeeding.  Seeing a record low unemployment, almost 4% economy growth, and success abroad has me very happy.  What I am not happy about is how the other side of the political spectrum simply wants to him to fail, whether that destroys the country or not.  It is upsetting they are so focused on just that and nothing else... So overall, yes, I am very happy about our country and President right now.  I feel safer.

The people who post the news media articles here do a very good job to report both sides, but avoiding the spin.

Previous President was treated like a king no matter what he did.  But now this man is treated horribly by the media and people who just want to shut off and not hear anything good about what's being done.  It's dangerous to over-praise and dangerous to only hear what you want to hear.

Going on now, Dr. Ford gives testimony and Kavanaugh defends himself.  Democrats pull many dirty blows asking for FBI investigations and belittle Kavanauagh assuming him guilty. Republican's have a weak showing towards Dr. Ford during her testimony in which she seems believable. 

Then we have this by Sen. Lindsay Graham.  A moving few minutes in which he calls out all the corruption, lies, and deceit currently being deploying against Kavanaugh and his family.

No matter what, Democrats have ruined a good man's life over possibly a mistaken identity.  They don't care who they are bringing down, as long as they can stop a Trump nominee and stop Trump.  They don't care if it brings down the country either.  Kavanaugh is a victim here... and if Blasey Ford truly believes what she is saying, she is being used by the Democrats as well. 

There is no burden of requirement when a woman accuses sexual assault. The recipient is automatically guilty.

First there was political correctness where you cannot speak the truth now that is the accusation of sexual assault where you cannot speak or say anything,  this is the new weapon of the left.

That does not mean to say that I believe she wasn't assaulted by someone.  There were just places her story didn't ring true. Like for instance: "Indelible in my hypocampus"(flowery language for a raw moment instead of normal way of talking?), she ran into Mark Judge at the supermarket and said Hello to him(if he did as she claimed, wouldn't she have avoided him when she realized her was there?), the door she wanted put on her house wasn't pleasingly astetic(The point of the door in her testimony is protection, who cares about what it looks like?), etc.. . The fact that she can't tell us a place or how she got to/or was taken from this place. The fact that her best friend can't remember the incident at all considering Dr. Ford testified to running from the house. I don't know about you, but I'm 100% sure my best friend would remember that happening and so would the others reported to be downstairs. There too many holes in her story and the fact that none of the Senators, media, prosecutor picked up on these upsets me.  I totally understand that victims of sexual assault can have memory lapses and tune in on the traumatic moments of their attack.  But compared with people I know that have been assaulted and have given their stories, her story is lacking in very much detail.  That being said, Judge Kavanaugh wasn't completely honest, especially about the drinking. But the main villians here are the democrats of this committee, Feinstein clearly sat on this and didn't take care of this at the right time and the others just rode the party line for the whole thing.

I believe victims should come forward and report there stories. But instead of blindly following a movement (#metoo), each story should be investigated based on factual provable evidence and there is always evidence left to the truth, you just have to look deep enough.  Because not everybody tells the truth, even women about sexual assault. You're innocent till proven guilty and this movement among others go against that and that scares me, because if we start treating and believing that your guilty till proven innocent alot of innocent people are going to be hurt by those who seek power, revenge, or attention and be ruined for life whether its about sexual assault or other crimes.

^ Pretty much yes. 

I watched/listened the whole thing as well.  I don't doubt she was assaulted at some point by someone, but it wasn't Kavanaugh and his friend.  You can tell that Kavanaugh was telling the truth as he reacted as anyone would who has false accusations placed upon them.  It was an amazing hearing and so obvious how the Democrat left is using these horrible dirty tactics to drag someone through the mud, just so this guy can't hold a seat.

Being a woman and not blindly following what feminists and the Democrat party says women should do, I didn't buy it.  I just don't buy this.  The timing and how the Democrats waited to release anything they could to ruin this man's wonderful reputation and drag his family through this shit.  It's horrible what they are doing and I wish the American public would wake up and see how HORRIBLE the Democrats have been acting since Trump won the election in 2016.  They are doing everything they can to make Trump fail, but he isn't. They can't stand someone who doesn't follow their ideals won and someone who wasn't establishment.  I feel horrible for Kavanaugh and his family, and hope that if Dr. Ford was taken advantage of, they will someday find the actual person.  But if she is willingly lying and doing this solely for the Democrats, then I hope she is found out too.

The feminists and the #MeToo thing is so toxic, it truly makes a hostile environment.  It has created an environment where men are guilty no matter what.  Why would a guy even want to flirt or talk to a woman if in the future she can make a false accusation against him and screw up his life.

I feel so bad for Kavanaugh and hope his name is righted for the wrongs the left is doing upon him.  Feinstein's a joke, Schumer's a joke, Flake is a joke, Durbin is a joke, Booker is a joke.  They are just going along with the horribleness.

In short, the analyst doesn't buy it and alludes Dr. Ford acted the whole thing.

And now an analysis of Brett Kavanaugh's interview with FOX News when they ask him tough questions.


The analyst says he doesn't show signs of lying. His denials are sincere.

Huge day.  I wonder what will happen. I don't trust the pollsters after how wrong they were with the 2016 election.  But Democrats are very confident thinking they will have a Blue Wave.  Dems have had tons of Hollywood elites campaign, tons of stars and former Pres. Obama.  Pres. Trump and Republicans have done TONS in the last several weeks, involving the Pros. doing over a dozen rallies in a few days.

We'll see what happens.

And indeed, we have a big night tonight ladies and gentlemen. At the top of the hour we will see some polling stations close in six states including Florida, Indiana, and Kentucky.  We're watching many races from the east to the west.  So far we have info on less than 1% of votes in Indiana.  But this isn't enough for us to share in depth yet.

Republicans are hoping to hold on to the House and Senate, though many polls are expecting the Democrats to take control of the House.  To do so, the Dems will need to take away 23 seats from the Republicans. 

We will give you updates in about twenty minutes or when new data comes in.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2018-11-06 16:16:03
We have some movement in.

INDIANA. 

Bruan (R) is beating the incumbent Donnelly (D) so far with only 7% vote in.  Bruan has  58% of the vote and Donnlley has 38%.  Again this is far too early to call because more liberal areas such as around Gary and Bloomington have not given their numbers in.  But Republican counties are staying Republican as expected so far.  This will be a tight senate race.

FLORIDA

We have the heavily contested governors race and senate race with former Governor Rick Scott (R) vs long time Democrats Nelson.  With 8% in, Scotts is ahead 51% to 48%.  For the Democrats to win this, they will want Nelson to have a major leads before counting Miami-Dade.  That will be a heavily Democrat vote.

In the Florida Governors race, DeSantis (R) is ahead of Gillum (D).  Gillum is under investigation by the FBI for corruption during his time as mayor of Tallahassee, but that doesn't seem to have slowed Democrats who hope to win the Governors race.  Florida's economy has been excelling under former Governor Rick Scott (R).  DeSantis is running on the platform that Gillum will ruin it with socialist policies that Gillum is touting to be the best including getting rid of Trump tax cuts which would hurt much of Florida's populace.

VIRGINIA

Less than 1% in for Virginia which has Kaine (D) the incumbent vs Stewart (R).  It is expected Kaine will continue to dominate this seat.  With 1% in though, Stewart is leading with 70% of the vote.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2018-11-06 16:21:53
FLORIDA UPDATE

14% in the Senate race. Scott is leading 51% to Nelson's 48%.

Democrats really want this race to strengthen blue wave which they have been touting.  If Scott wins, it would be a blue to the Democratic party.

INDIANA

Braun (R) increases his lead with 10% in.  58% over Donnelly (D) who has 38%.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Silverwing on 2018-11-06 16:25:27
The earliest results from Georgia are starting to come in.  We have 1% in. 

Democrats have spent TONS of money and time to make Stacey Abrams (D) win the race.  She had Obama, Oprah, and governor of Washington, Jay Inslee all do campaigning for her.  She is a self proclaimed socialist.

Her competitor is Brian Kemp (R) who had Pence and Trump campaign for him.  He is hoping to keep Georgia red.

In the tiny percentage in, Kemp leads 76% to 23%.

So what would it mean if the Democrats take the house but the Republicans keep the Senate?

There are lots of things the Senate can do regardless of how the House turns out, namely confirm judges and other nominees. Even if the House flips control, as long as Mitch McConnell is in charge, Republicans still have the ability to shape the judiciary. A Democratic House would have investigative powers but no real ability to unilaterally implement policy.

DEMOCRAT BLUE WAVE FIZZLES. REPUBLICANS MAKE BIG GAINS, BUT DEMS DO TAKE THE HOUSE
Title: Re: Politics

REPUBLICANS MADE Massive gains in the Senate, which as discussed previously, is more powerful then the House.  Democrats will take the House, but not by much.  It won't be this massive blue wave the media has been falsely portraying.  A lot of big name Democrats that the party and Hollywood supported... well... they all lost.  Every single Democrat that Oprah and Obama campaigned for has lost so far tonight.

Well thank you, MasterXtreme.  You did an upstanding job tonight.

In a nutshell what we saw tonight was NOT a blue wave.  We saw a strong Republican surge shutting down pollsters once again with a strong growth in the ever powerful Senate.  Democrats did pick up the House, but not nearly as many seats as they had hoped for.  Meaning that the American people for the most part are still fully behind the policy and plans of President Donald Trump.  Things will be a bit harder for him with the Democrat House control, but they still have the Senate to take control.

With that, thank you everyone and have a great night.

We have some updates from the elections. 

WASHINGTON HOUSE Race Update.

This will be a house flip from Republican to Democrat. This is the first time in this districts history that it went blue instead of red with the Republicans.  Unknown percentage counted.

Kim Schrier (D) 53%

NEVADA GOVERNORS UPDATE 97% in.

Rosen (D) 50%

A socialist running under the Democrat banner will beat the very successful incumbent governor.  This was a shock too many.  Under Walker, WI had record low unemployment and a booming economy ranked one of the best in the US including lower taxes.  So it was unexpected a socialist with no accomplishments won.

Evers (D) 49%

Walker (R) 48%


ARIZONA SENATE update 74% in.  This race is too close to call.

McSally (R) 49%

Sinema (D) 48%

Romney (R) 63%

A somewhat surprise Republican win, but they campaigned hard to win this and add to their senate seats.

Bruan (R) 52%

Donnelly (D) 44%

FLORIDA SENATE update 99% in.

Nelson (D) 49%

FLORIDA GOVERNOR update 99% in.

It is amazing how lethal the mainstream leftist media is.  Mueller has said there was zero collusion with Russia and the only people who broke laws so far are NOT the President.  And still, these charges aren't even tied to "Russia Collusion" which there has been non of.

Still, with no evidence, the media is hoping the President fails.

Theoretically, lets say the President loses out here.... so... is the Democrats happy then?  To have a country in turmoil without a leader as the Vice President scrambles into the position?  Will they feel proud of themselves for some reason?

The President's address to the American people was very good.  He gave solid evidence from real government sources and he appealed to the people respectfully.  He was pretty honest and did give credit to both sides of the political aisle.  He made great remakes such as how building a wall does not mean we hate people that are trying to get in, we are simply protecting those within to foster only the best coming in.  It was a very strong speech and it was short. 

The rebuttal from Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer was very poor. They went off emotional string pulling and did nothing but attack the President.  They also only attacked the Republican's.  They made it fully political. They provided no evidence to anything they were saying and gave no data or facts, unlike what the President did basing his info off official government reports.  They placed square blame for the shutdown on Republicans and the President and alluded to the President being racist for wanting a wall.

Absolutely freaking nuts how the majority of the media has lied to the American people thinking the President had ties to Russia and they had ZERO credible evidence of it.  They kept playing it up and the Mueller investigation hoping something would happen.  Instead nothing happened and there were ZERO ties.  An absolute sham and travesty.  The media is a joke and if anyone believes anything the pundits on MSNBC and CNN say anymore, then they are asking to be lied to again.  How horrible to put the President and this White House as well as the American people through this for so long.  All lies.

I want to apologize to our political readers who read this article linked below.  In the article I posted here...

Mueller complained that Barr’s letter did not capture ‘context’ of Russia-Collusion probe (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mueller-complained-that-barrs-letter-did-not-capture-context-of-trump-probe/ar-AAAKJB8).

I found out it isn't accurate.  The truth of the matter is Mueller was not upset by Barr's letter, but upset at how the media portrayed his letter.  The leftist media today is still reporting that Mueller is angry at Barr, but if you actually read Mueller's letter, he never states that.  He is upset at how the media is making a false narrative out of what he and Barr said. 

So even Mueller see's the witch-hunt from the drive-by media.

So sorry for posting that article.  I try to find truthful articles, but was pulled into the false narrative.  It wasn't until articles came out later that I found out the truth and read the letter.  FOX News reported the truth, again.  Since their article, a few news agencies are reporting the right story now, but most (CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, etc) are not reporting the truthful story.

Fingers crossed that Mexico keeps up their end of the bargain as do we.  I think this is a good move and I am glad the "art of the deal" worked here.  No one wanted tariffs, but Mexico didn't want it even more.  So good move on all sides and lets fix this border/migrant crisis.  It can't be solved by one country alone.

Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2019-06-27 17:33:09
From watching the first round yesterday, I say NBC failed to give some of the lesser known candidates any attention.  That isn't right, they all need equal time.  I feel the strongest players (and none were that strong) was Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker, Bill Del Blasio, Jay Inslee, and Castro.

The weakest was Beto O'Rourke.  O' Rourke looked weak, confused, and was constantly attacked by others.  He was truly outclassed and will not continue being a top candidate from here.  He has no plans, just talks and grand dreams.  His inexperience really showed.  His speaking in Spanish to start came off as pandering.

Bill De Blasio was the most political and knew how to trick people.  He was slick and had the answers, but never followed through with his answers.

Delaney was by far the most middle ground player and made a lot of sense, but he is too conservative for the current Democratic party which as gone further and further to the left and has radicalized. 

Jay Inslee got among the most claps from the audience and did really good.  His weakest response was on the greatest threat to America, but he seemed genuine and had backing of things he did for his state of Washington.

Elizabeth Warren never had a break out moment, but she was consistent in her message and hid her socialist views through much of the debate.  No one attacked her as well.

Julian Castro came off as educated on his one subject of immigration.  He was on the winning end of an attack against Beto O'Rourke.  I think Castro will definitely attract some voters, especially those easily swayed by immigration issues who want an open border and decriminalizing nearly everything.

Tulsi Gabbard messed up and never recovered from her "deer in the headlights" moment.  She had slight redemption in an argument with Tim Ryan, but it wasn't enough.

Corey Booker looked invested and had answers for everything, but I question his genuineness.  The poorly controlled timing by the moderators allowed him to have the most time on stage.  Booker's big moment came when he said, "This is not policy. This is personal," when referring to gun violence and his friend being shot.

Amy Klobuchar went viral for shutting down her male candidates when it came to abortion rights.  But that was her only moment.

Earlier in the week, President Trump tweeted while at the G20 summit he would like to meet Kim Jong Un at the DMZ zone.  It was a very unexpected tweet literally just days after North Korean state media stated the Kim Jong Un had received an "excellent" letter from President Donald Trump.  Well, it seems like North Korea is willing... (not to mention trade talks with China went well!)

BREAKING: Trump, Kim will meet at DMZ on Sunday, South Korea’s leader says (https://www.foxnews.com/world/trump-kim-will-meet-at-dmz-on-sunday-south-koreas-leader-says).

I have fully read the whistleblower transcript and the transcript of the phone call with the President and Ukraine's President.  The media and the Democrats are fully lying and making things up.  NOTHING they are saying was in the phone transcript.  The whistleblower was making things up as well.  No where does the President say they need to investigate Biden's son in Ukraine. He mentioned the meddling of the 2016 election which is totally different.  But the media today is trying to make it sound like he is talking about Biden in the current 2020 election.  He wasn't.

All you have to do is read it.  The media and Democrats are completely LYING to try and impeach someone for at this point, nothing.  There is nothing here.  They know most people won't actually read this stuff, so they make up their own headlines and talking points. This is so wrong and so horrible this is happening. 

I guess the Deep State is real.

So how many times has the Democrats tried to get the President out of office now?  I swear, every week they are posing something new and every time is is false or proven false.  I'm really sick of it and I am willing to bet that most of America who is moderate like me is sick of it.  We can see it. 

It seems like they are worried they will lose the 2020 election and they feel the only way they can win is impeachment.  But it also is apparent the Democrats seem to be willing to get Trump out of office no matter what, even if it's worse for the country as a whole.  I don't understand it. 

I'm a centered person, but their actions makes me resent the left.  They are becoming too radical and moving too far left.  They are opposing the person whom America elected.

When the Democrats had dozens of what they claimed "Articles of impeachment" including bribery, quid pro quo, and laws broke, and yet when they make the articles of impeachment, they included nothing they claimed they had. It simply means they didn't have any of it.  The dozens of laws broken they claimed went down to two things which aren't even laws. They don't have definitive evidence for anything they lied to the American people about for the past three years.  It's going to end very badly for the leftists, progressives, and Democratic Party.

It was all for show at this point and has no real meaning other than it's part of his legacy, which I know he doesn't like.

But the House is holding back the articles of impeachment from the Senate right now and not allowing a trail on the Senate's end.  If they do keep it, it will be shown as a purely political spectacle by the Democratic Party, in that they won't allow the Senate to have a vote. 

But as of right now, it has zero effect on the Presidency or his running for a second term.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: megacycle on 2019-12-21 14:14:22
Basically a mark on his record... that'll do no real harm in the future, for the most part.

I'm sure he isn't happy about it... but the hesitation to take the papers to the senate to actually start the trial... well that will add fuel to the fire... now he and other republicans can use this during re-election/election. Such and such democrat wasted money, wasted time and money, wasted tax payer money on a show.

So to the people celebrating right now... they are celebrating a hollow victory? I guess... it was dumb and pissed off people trying to watch TV not a circus act.
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2019-12-21 14:22:20
It's a hollow victory indeed if you can even call it a victory.  It doesn't help when the Democrat party tried to pretend this was a life or death situation to the Presidency... They said they had to remove him... and now they are holding the articles of impeachment not furthering the process.  So I guess it wasn't that dire after all.

After the impeachment was approved by the house, there have been several videos uploaded by Democratic politicians celebrating his impeachment.  It wasn't for the country as they had claimed, but their own personal hatred.  In short, all politics.

Remember how the Dems said he broke laws?  High crimes?  Bribery?  Quid pro Quo?  All of those things they had mentioned?  Well... they didn't include anything they said happened in the articles of impeachment.  They had instead replaced all that with two weak articles that are not laws, nor crimes, and are quite ambiguous.

I know I sound like a Republican right now, but as someone in the center, it's so obvious what was done here.  It was a circus act. 

I would argue the most damage done here was to the Democrat Party.  Is anyone even watching their debates? No.  Viewership is declining and was less than average primetime weeknight television now.  The Dem candidates are getting no airtime.  If anything, this impeachment is firing up the Republican and Independent base to re=elect the President.  Polls show most of American's can see this was a sham.  Even Democrats know it (except for the one's fully brainwashed watching purely MSNBC or CNN.)
Title: Re: Politics
Post by: RainySunshine on 2019-12-21 14:35:00
It was very hallow.  I am not sure anyone could have watched this and feel it was legitimate.  The articles of impeachment were reduced to nearly nothing. 

From what I have seen, the Democrats didn't have evidence to support their high crimes they claimed.  So they went with vague articles of impeachment.  Whatever happened to their claims of Russia collusion and ties to Ukraine and strippers and all the other stuff they claimed?  They made it up... they paid for the Dossier... Brennan and Comey lied about not using the Dossier as a reason to investigate the President and they made up a bunch of stuff hoping Clinton would win.... she didn't.... and now they are trying to hide a lot of bad things by going after the President. Place people's attention where it shouldn't be.

Wow, that's huge!  I wonder what the reaction will be tomorrow when people wake up.  I am sure Iran's government is furious.  They've been threatening the US for many weeks now (of course longer than that) but they've really been going at it.  Their Supreme Leader just yesterday said he would squash the US and many other unsavory words including cussing, swearing, profanities and excess spittle.

A lot of great accomplishments spoken about tonight.  I was surprised to see Venezuela's Guiado was there.  That is amazing as was the 13 year old boy and 100 year old grandfather who was the Tuskegee airman. 

Lovely the president is offering education reform to help students go to college.  Though strangely none of the Democrats clapped or agreed with that statement... or even the statement that we should support our country?  What is wrong with them?

Joe Biden had a good day.  Won mostly everything on Super Tuesday.  Still missing results from California and Texas.  Analysts predicted Sanders would win most, but he lost many states he was expected to win.

Biggers losers.... Elizabeth Warren and Mike Bloomberg.  They should probably step down and get out of the races.  Not to mention Bloomberg spent nearly $600 million dollars just to lose....

Democrats seem to want to play it safe, possibly voters realizing that one guy is a legitimate socialist ... or the DNC is rigging elections (which wouldn't be new to anyone).  There is a reason three Dems left the races and endorsed Biden just before Super Tuesday.  I don't think that was lost on anyone.  The DNC is a very shady organization and certainly most adherents know that.

Title: Racism & Police Violence Data
Post by: Wolfwood on 2020-06-04 20:11:17
The recent protests have brought again to light the topic of racism, which does exist.  But sadly a lot of that hate is misplaced on law enforcement. Cops don’t shoot people at random, (if they’re following the law), they fire only when they reasonably believe a violent criminal poses an immediate threat to life,  so racial differences in crime rates are unfortunately important to consider here.

So let's go over some data. 

In 2018 there were 995 people were shot and killed by police, the lowest number since 2015.  Of the 995 people shot and killed by the police, 403 were white, 210 were black, 148 were Hispanic, 38 were classified as other, and 199 were classified as unknown.

Out of that 995, 47 were unarmed — 23 were white, 17 were black, 5 were Hispanic, and 2 were unknown.

Out of the 30-50 million interactions that the police had with the American public last year, 10 million people were arrested, and less than 0.01 percent were shot and killed by the police. Out of those 10 million people arrested, 47 of those shot and killed were unarmed, which equates to 0.00047 percent, 17 of which were black.

Source (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/national/police-shootings-2018/?utm_term=.417a90075e7c)

An independent study by National Academy of Sciences found that “the race of the officer doesn’t matter when it comes to predicting whether black or white citizens are shot," Prof. Joseph Cesario said. "If anything, black citizens are more likely to have been shot by black officers, but this is because black officers are drawn from the same population that they police. So, the more black citizens there are in a community, the more black police officers there are.”

Source (https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2019/the-truth-behind-racial-disparities-in-fatal-police-shootings/)

Data shows that 93 percent of black homicide victims are killed by other blacks.  Blacks commit violent crimes at 7 to 10 times the rate that whites do.  Blacks committed 52 percent of homicides between 1980 and 2008, despite composing just 13 percent of the population. Across the same timeframe, whites committed 45 percent of homicides while composing 77% of the population, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.  There were almost 6,000 blacks killed by other blacks in 2015. By contrast, only 258 blacks were killed by police gunfire that year. 

Source (http://www.wsj.com/articles/jason-riley-the-other-ferguson-tragedy-1416961287)

This study tried “benchmarking” blacks’ share of those killed by police against numerous measures of crime, and found no anti-black disparity in nearly all of these comparisons.

Source (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325752754_Is_There_Evidence_of_Racial_Disparity_in_Police_Use_of_Deadly_Force_Analyses_of_Officer-Involved_Fatal_Shootings_in_2015-2016)

This study analyzed policing incidents in great detail, finding that, after accounting for how suspects behaved, there was no racial difference in lethal force (though blacks and Hispanics were more likely to suffer non-lethal force). However, much of this analysis relied on data from a single city, Houston

Source (https://scholar.harvard.edu/fryer/publications/empirical-analysis-racial-differences-police-use-force).

This is older data, but still very interesting if you want to see the motives and how certain races choose to commit violence against others.  It has nothing to do with police, but about race and crime.  White's commit the most crimes, but they are also the largest population group.  But when you look at specific crime categories, difference races prefer different crimes.  Each race tends to commit crimes against it's own race at a higher rate with some exceptions.

Source (https://www.amren.com/news/2015/07/new-doj-statistics-on-race-and-violent-crime/).

Now it is harder to find data on non-shooting deaths, but we can use this data to get a better picture of the whole story. One thing for certain is that the recent push by the left to "Defund Police Agencies" is ridiculous and won't solve anything.  Cities who give in will soon realize that they are being asked to do something even more radical and it will spiral out of control.

There is engrained racism in various functions in every single country.  One doesn't understand the racism a black man faces, or a Hispanic family, or what have you.  This post isn't questioning that.  It is specifically that police target blacks or other races.  It can happen in places, yes.  But statistically when it comes to deaths, that isn't the case.  And if anything, the data shows us that specific groups tend to cause more crimes for whatever the reasons may be. 
Title: Racism & Police Violence Data
Post by: Darrin on 2020-06-04 20:35:16
I know a thing or two about racism.  It's sort of something I grew up with and live with, but yeah.  It is right the blame being put on law enforcement.  To outright drop law enforcement is anarchy, which is what these horrible anarchists and looters want.  And you are right, based on shooting data and crime, black's aren't shot more and do commit more crimes (data wise) per capita.  That has been an ongoing issue and partially caused due to the breakdown of families and moralities, and many other reasons.

I appreciate the sources and links you've provided.  I've gone through several and will continue to go through every single one of them. 

That said, there are things a black person deals with that other groups never think about.  Let me just throw this one out there.  Sitting in your car.  Pretty much any race can do that without issue.  But a black man sitting in a car in any neighborhood can raise eyebrows and result in a police response.  Even if he's just chilling and eating lunch or something.  But based on the data (which I am well aware of too) there is reasons people think that man may be up to no good.  It sadly is an ongoing issue within the black community that must be dealt with.

I am aware of all this first hand.  Just thought I'd throw in some conversation.

I'm depressed with the state of things right now... I've just been tuning out the news and social media to the best of my ability, but I don't want to be completely out of the loop.

I have a family member and a friend in law enforcement, it's causing me to take all of these negative comments personally. I can't help it, I care about my family. I can't sit there and say all cops are bad or wish ill will on another person, because I know it's not true and it makes me feel like scum. Voicing my opinion usually ends badly for me, heck this comment alone will probably end up backfiring in my face. lol.

The only way I can deal with this type of stress and anxiety and depression is to laugh, make jokes, even if some of them are rather grim or dark. Sorry if this is sort of off topic. I guess you could say, I'm still processing a lot of information and dealing with my anxiety over covid.

Won't backfire at all.  These blanket statements people are saying such as "all cops are bad" and "Defund the police" truly mean nothing.  We know not all police are bad.  We know the majority are not.  We know defunding police won't solve anything.

We see what anarchism is capable of and we are seeing a inner growth or radicalism.  It is filled with people who want to fundamentally alter our society and landscape. Erase and rewrite history how they see fit.  We've seen this happen in many countries like China, Venezuela, etc.  We think "oh that can't happen here" but it most certainly can.  It's why we need to take these riots seriously.  We can't allow the continued destruction of our history, laws, and society.  It's good to have perspective, so you comment is much appreciated.

Voicing your opinion won't end badly here.  Only people who truly don't value the freedom of speech devalue and drown out differing opinions.

I'd like to thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment.

This madness personally effects me, I have to observe people verbally attack my friend and family member online and offline. My store shutdown early because of a possible rioters and looters in the area. I see people praising this destruction, down with the big retail stores. I work at one of these retail stores. I've lost a lot of respect for artists that I follow on FA because they're only fueling the fire, any opinion that doesn't match their opinion perfectly ends with an insult to invalidate that different opinion and a block so they don't have to see it.

Social media has become antisocial media, because one wrong hashtag will end with a lot of insults and a lot of blocks. It's made me take a step back from the furry community. It's made me take a step back from social media. It's made me take a step back from chilling on the internet.

I probably need a break from the net, but with the big bad bug still floating around... That's not really an option.

Maybe you know, maybe you don't, but the hatred and destruction you see is a minority. Especially online too.  The places on social media that we tend to gravitate to are filled mainly by a subset of people who think a certain way.  They claim to be open minded, but if you share a differing opinion you are torn down. 

If you jump into reality (usually outside of social media or in real life) you will see differing opinions.  Another reason people may think society thinks a certain way is because the tech companies that run these social media outlets are usually run by people who think the same way as their followers and the one's who use their platform.  Today this is becoming tricky with social media outlets now pushing certain news stories, but still hiding behind the banner that they aren't news agencies... even though they promote and show only what they feel is "correct."  They want to be able to label what is "incorrect" and control the thought process.  They of course will skew news into their political viewpoint and the less informed social media crowd (who usually only reads headlines) will believe whatever is thrown at them and think they are "educated on the subject matter."

Whoow.  Sorry.  I could keep going but I won't.  I am sorry for your business.  I too understand what it is like to have law enforcement family and trying to run my own business. First we got punched by Covid.  Now we got looters and anarchists ruining our businesses.  How does that help? Well really, they aren't there for what they say they are there for.  They are there for a fundamental breakdown of society to run it how probably their professors spewed it out to them.  "In a perfect" and "idealistic" world or something...

It's messed up.  Very depressing and there never seems to be any good news.  Just negative, negative, negative.  It keeps kicking us while we are down.  The media is part of the problem, divisive, and vomiting out partisan politics and their own viewpoints veiled as "news."  Some don't even try to hide it anymore.  In the rare chance they are called out for their lies, they don't care.  They work with the establishment political party they are tied to and spew out more collusion, hoaxes, and lies.

The internet, especially social media is a horrible place.  It makes you reevaluate who you consider "Friends" and if you end your night feeling worse than before your started, it's probably best to take a break or get off the internet to some degree.  You will probably feel better.  Toxicity reigns at all ends, but especially amongst websites that claim to "welcome all viewpoints"... as long as it is their own viewpoint that slants heavily to the left.

Find a better online community if you must.  There is a lot of good on the internet, you just have to know where to find it and surround yourself with it.  Good in, good out.  Bad in, bad out. If you are just as sick as most people who get "virtue signaled" by their social media website telling them out great their beliefs are, or which groups they support, and what they believe, their's a good chance you are one a Tumblr, DeviantArt, Facebook, etc type group.  There are many alternatives.

Many are.  It's unfortunate, but when our news is negative all the time, it's tough.  It's constant blasting and the degradation of society by certain political factions.  It makes one want to leave the urban areas and hide out in a peaceful cabin by a stream.

Social media is a huge place of malice right now.  I stay away from it myself.  There is still a lot of good news, you just have to know where to find it.  I myself could do a better job when aggregating news stories for the site, to find more positive stories too.  I try to be fair, but I realize I post more pro-conservative than some of my colleagues here who are more straight down the middle, but fair. 

I hope you can find a balance.  Your views and opinions are always welcome here.  You won't be shut down or talked down to as you would other sites.

Thanks for the love, I think a lot of this is just from being stuck indoors. This stupid pandemic has put everything on hold. My activities are limited too gaming and television and the stray thoughts in my head. My only taste of the outside world is work, and being forced to wear a mask for eight hours a day, five days a week. Well it drives me crazy... I usually feel sick by the end of my shift, probably from breathing/smelling my own breath. It's just a combination of things that make me feel like a balloon that's ready to burst.

Humor is how I process a lot of information, I'll make a meme that I would never post on Facebook or Twitter just to make myself laugh. I might share it here.

I appreciate you all taking time out of your day to respond to my outburst. Thank you. I'd give you all a hug if we weren't social distancing. lol

Simpsons' showrunners say:  'From here on out, only actors of color will voice non-white characters' (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/the-simpsons-white-actors-characters-of-color-010316630.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABpJu9WCqzDSi0dtAfKV1fdIDIq2PjEQb7hVfGqRcboTRsVDrkTiqqQYNh0xrdWNdE2_QegWfEVX3j2WOPRJ36llBf9zPHkvPGcnOwkAhIv_uqXt69ZmPvXfgDfRk8OQWt4shE48dHs1Nx7WMgUugZuKba94kBesHi9SMaw0gCJj)


Okay, first of all, isn't every character on The Simpsons non-white?  I mean, cripes, 97% of the cast is yellow.    ::)

Secondly, I forsee nothing but trouble coming from this.  It simply isn't cost-effective. If you've got a white actor who can imitate Chris Rock, Redd Foxx,  Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, and an angry black guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bes5MlWEBac) with equal ease, (and here I hold up a large sign with an arrow pointing to me, illuminated with flashing lights and playing "Stars and Stripes Forever"), why not hire him instead of having to pay six actors with only passable readings to offer just because they happen to be the right race? B.T.-dubs, I can also do a Chinese houseboy (https://youtu.be/m_Xj8LzKL64?t=37), but maybe in this climate I shouldn't brag about that too much.     ;D

Thirdly, if only minority actors can voice non-white characters, what's to stop them from demanding more money up front for their work? A peripheral black, Hispanic, or Asian character who has two or three lines in a script could concievably net his v.a. as much as a white actor who reads eight of 10 pages in the same session... and then the goddamn union will be on you like a case of pecker-rash on a hot, humid July day.

We can't kowtow to paranoia and allow "Black Lives Matter"-era thinking have us in a panic, forcing those behind our favorite shows to dump or recast beloved longstanding ancillary characters, any more than we did the overreactioanary #MeToo bullshit of two years to throw Hollywood into that whole hormonal snit three years ago that had us looking under every bed and casting couch for predatory boogeymen, disrupting innumerable Hollywood projects and picking apart dozens of Tinseltown reputations.  It sets a bad precedent.

I try not to talk about politics at work because I know my opinion would piss a lot of people off. I have the unpopular opinion on some topics. I'm also annoyed because people want to talk about, people tend to talk about what is on the news... and the only thing on the news is politics. All I want to do is sit down and eat my food on my breaks, I don't know why people have to interrupt me when I am eating and watching my shows on my phone, I have both earbuds in but people will still interrupt me to ask a politically charged question. I really don't like being put on the spot in the break room, I also know if I don't answer the question I will probably be labelled racist. I'm left with no option but to give a response that I have to pick carefully.

It's usually the same black woman that puts me on the spot with a question I have to respond too or a statement I have to agree with or praise. Like, "This is all Trump's fault!" She'll stare at me and wait for me to say something. I don't agree with her statement so I have to come up with a counter statement, I have to tell a partial truths or act like a politician and deflect. My go to response has been. "I blame all politicians, they don't really care about us common folk."

Yesterday I got caught off guard by a white girl, a white girl that is trying to overcompensate. I'M NOT RACIST BECAUSE I AGREE WITH THAT!!! She said something to me with a bunch of other people in the break room and I guess she was expecting a response that matches hers, perfectly. All this over the removal of confederate monuments. I think it's a waste of money, but I am not going to say that out loud. I think if the monuments are being removed they should be moved to a museum or a battlefield park, I don't think they should be destroyed. I also know that my opinion means nothing and I am sure that that is enough to label me as misinformed or racist. I'm sorry world, I don't have white guilt! I also don't feel like being unemployed because somebody approached me with a politically charged question.

I'm just a guy with a rebel flag hat, I have it because I really enjoyed watching the duke's of hazard.

Thanks for allowing me to speak my mind.

I live in the South.  No less than three of my neighbors have Confederate flags handing on their porch. (Cue Jeff Foxworthy-esque "You might be a redneck" here.) I'd like to see these fruity granoloa-eating pajama-boy basement-dweller BLM-b.s. fartknockers come down here to my 'burg and try to get them to take those babies down. They'll leave here with a shotgun hole in their guts.

Pretty much, most are full ghetto or really young, probably spoon fed some white privilege and white guilt facts. I just want to eat my food in peace. I'm going to start taking my noise cancelling over ear headphones to work for breaks, maybe they'll get the hint.

I'm done with cancel culture, it's become cancer culture. I'm sorry if I keep dropping my little political rants here. I don't really have any options that won't lead to being blocked and hated. At least I hope it doesn't lead to me being blocked and hated.

You're always welcome too.  No need to say sorry.  Freedom of speech.  :)

Your co-workers don't sound too pleasant I am sorry to say. I have the same issue, but mainly with customers.  And even if I don't agree with then, I just kind of nod, accept it.  You just kind of live with it.  Until you get to know people more, then I start to share my thoughts more, and often times they might give me some guff, but after awhile, they just like me for me and know they don't agree with my views nessecarily.

We see what anarchism is capable of and we are seeing a inner growth or radicalism.  It is filled with people who want to fundamentally alter our society and landscape. Erase and rewrite history how they see fit.  We've seen this happen in many countries like China, Venezuela, etc.

We especially don't want to become Venezuela.  The other afternoon I heard this item (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/venezuela-crisis-zoo-animals-stolen-eaten-food-shortages-nicolas-maduro-a7898006.html) on the radio about what hungry people in parts of Caracas and Maracaibo are doing for food... and, God help me, my first reaction was "I would pay to see that shit!" I'm thinking maybe they should make a short about it for that new Looney Tunes Cartoons show... bring back that little witch-doctor from that one old cartoon (http://=https://looneytunes.fandom.com/wiki/Which_Is_Witch), y'know, and repurpose him as a starving Venezuelan native loose in a zoo, going from cage to cage trying to nosh greedily on all the animals. Couldn't you just see him all crazy and drooling, trying to, like, put mustard on an elephant's butt? Be a pretty-funny one-shot, I think, if they had the balls to do it.  Meh... Nah. Too soon, too raw. People are a bunch'a friggin' snowflake pussies these days.

And... "suffering involuntary weight loss"? Pretty fancy candy-ass way to say "starve", isn't it? Hell. Any way you slice it, hunger is a serious issue, no matter where you are. All this talk about shortages here in the U.S., stories about perfectly good meat getting thrown out, and milk spilled into sewer grates because a worker at a plant allegedly tested positive for Covid-19. Such a goddamn waste. Here in my town, hanging out behind the supermarket, I've met some pretty good folks who are eating out of the trash, they were so poor and desperate, and that was back in the summer even before coronabug broke. I can't imagine what it's like for them now. Does social distancing still apply at a dumpster? Will grocery stores be forced to lock up their cast-off trash to prevent a homeless person catching the virus from exposed produce and meats?  Think about that when you sit down to your post-Fourth Sunday bbq feast this evening, friends and neighbors.

I agree that humor is often the best way to alleviate stress and defuse a potentially bad situation, but what can you do when even an innocuous joke is looked upon with a sour eye by your sensitive, overreactionary types in one group or another?  Our country has more big movements going on now than an elder-care facility on stewed-prune-and-bran night.

...And here comes the truckloads of hate mail now. (cues stock footage of postal vehicles rolling along to the tune of "Powerhouse".)

Of course they're running from him... whaddaya expect?    ::|

So I saw that Epstein documentary on Netflix... pretty dull, actually, considering the subject matter: dry facts, stacks of redacted documents, and tearful testimony from the women Epstein and his courtesan cohort used... and, compared to the ones on David Koresh and Joe Exotic, pretty short, clocking in at just four episodes. There were a few high points, though: Epstein's sumptuous art collection, all of female nudes, a prosecutor in 2004 quoted as saying their case was so ironclad that they were finally going to "string [Epstein] up" (quite harsh, seen now in hindsight), and... this.

I really wish covid wasn't politicized. I lean center-right (small government, low taxes, etc) but all these dumbasses on the right complaining about covid precautions because of "muh freedomz" is really pissing me off. Like... can people dying please stop being a political issue? Just wear the freakin' mask you hoolagins.

I currently have a summer job at a grocery store and it's against state ordinance to not wear a mask in indoor public buildings, but due to literally TEN ASSAULTS at another store of the same chain, company policy has made it to where we can no longer prohibit people from entering without masks. For our own safety. Because people are getting SO VIOLENT. IT'S LITERALLY A PIECE OF CLOTH.  So we'll get a few people every day coming in maskless.

Also, why do people just throw their used gross masks on the street or leave them in the middle of parking lots? That is disgusting and inconsiderate. If they're straining deadly bugs out of the air to protect you and they're full of contaminants, shouldn't they be put in special hazmat containers to be burned like medical waste, or at the very least, wastebaskets?  You wouldn't (ostensibly) just drop used hypodermic needles or your soiled diapers and used toilet paper in the road, would you?

I also see young leftist... and young people in general, just flat out not wearing asks.  They PACK parks and beaches and don't even car.  No masks, no social distancing.  It's a mess.

Thanks for listening to me rant again. lol.

This is why I stay off of twitter... it just makes me mad. I know I purged some of the people I follow on FA when I saw the abolish the police journals and twitter posts or the all cops are bad mentality. It annoys me. People are so quick to jump on the social justice band wagon without taking the time to stop and think.

Common sense is uncommon and critical thinking is at an all time low; stop with the knee jerk reactions. I'm not saying, I'm not guilty of it... because I am. I took what people were saying personally, because of the people I know personally. My friends and family in law enforcement... they are good people. I took what was being said as a personal attack targeting me and my friends and family. I got angry.

I tried to speak up once or twice and got shut down, my comments just made people angry. This is the only site where leaving a comment on current events didn't lead to me being labeled this or that... the things people say to invalidate an opinion that they do not like. Labels like; straight, white, male, white privilege, religion, conservative, fox news, and more.

And you should be able to speak you mind anywhere, except we can't anymore.

Other groups will simply shut down any opposing view that isn't their own.  Yet they claim to accept all. 

Remember when universities claimed to be open minded and listen to all points of view?  Well, if you are anything that isn't leftist liberal or in the socialist range, you are shut down and no longer accepted or listened to.  You are called every "ism" in the world.  That toxic leftism is spreading beyond our universities and beyond our big cities and trying to invade our every day life.  They want to radically change/destroy this country into some idealistic mentality they learned from their professors... Those same professors who were hippies in the 60s.  Technically they never left campus.

Joe Biden's Campaign Chooses Kamala Harris For Vice President

Article (https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/11/politics/biden-vp-pick/index.html)

Several times during the campaign, Kamala Harris viciously attacked and lied about Joe Biden.  Today, the Biden campaign chooses Harris as the VP for the Democrat candidate.  Harris, California senator, will be the first Black woman to run on a major political party's presidential ticket.

Tonight is the Democrat Convention, where Biden officially gets nominated, but it is all online.  I think being online will drastically reduce viewership and media attention.  We'll see what happens.  Be sure that the DNC will pad numbers.

In a recent Biden online speech that was hosted live with much advertising, only 68 people tuned in to watch.  That's painfully bad.

Title: Democrat National Convention Final Night Recap
Post by: Silverwing on 2020-08-20 23:20:22
Joe Biden tonight accepted the nomination on the last night of the Democratic National Convention which was virtual and online.  The week had talks from Kamala Harris, Barrack Obama, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and many others.  The convention was noted for it's low turn out and poor fundraising efforts.  Nonetheless, it was the first non-in person convention held by a political party.

Here is Joe Biden's acceptance speech, which may very well be his best speech he ever gave.  Low on policy, but lots of emotional talk to draw in liberals.

Title: Re: Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2020-08-24 20:12:05
Night one of the Republican National Convention is complete and it is a far cry from what the Democrat National Convention did last week.  As you know, I am a very middle of the road, straight shooter.  But what I write below may shock you.

I watched the whole DNC and plan to watch the whole RNC.  The DNC has a message that came off as anti-American for much of it.  They constantly put down American ideals and culture and it was quite dour, depressing, and had no policy messages shared. They had a bunch of Hollywood stars and elites talk which had nothing to do with policy and had no relation to the average American.  It was very out of touch. The speakers came off as weak and petty, and they had a long lineup of speakers who were failed politicians and losers in the political spectrum.  It was shocking. They constantly called America racist and said how horrible this country is.  They continually lied about the economy and what is actually happening in this nation.  It was stunning they thought people would believe them. It was a dark convention that quite honestly, was not that good.

The RNC so far on day one has blown the DNC convention out of the water.  It was bright, powerful, and speakers who were on point and had direction.  It was so much better organized and you watched it and felt patriotic for your country.  It made you proud to be an American.  They laid down strong policies and good build up stories that would relate to the average American.  They also heavily reached out to minorities and poorer Americans.  They showed their support to law enforcement and brought up that the Republican Party has not been the party that put labels on people as the Democratic Party has.  It wasn't the Republican's who led the KKK and pushed Jim Crow laws and put blacks in slavery.  It was in fact the Republican Party that broke all those things.  In all, the first night of the RNC was eons better than the DNC was in an entire week.  It's ridiculously obvious and the tone difference is like a brick to the face.

In a day we will see what the ratings were for the first night of the RNC.  The DNC saw a significant decline in viewers.  We will see what the RNC did.

I'm sure that statement will trigger somebody, I'm sure the mainstream media is attacking everybody that spoke at the RNC, if not the nuts on social media are going to for them.

Do you know what's scary... a couple days ago a man was kicked out of his house. He walked down to my end of the street and pulled out a gun, four shots were fired, after that he fled the area. I could hear police sirens within less than a minute after shots were fired. Thankfully he was apprehended. I didn't hear any of this from the primary news channels, my neighbor informed us about what happened.

Right now, the world is crazy and I fear for my safety and the safety of my family.

They attacked before he was elected.  They've done nothing but attack even when he does good.  So if anyone listens and trusts the mainstream media (as well as most non-mainstream), they are just gullible and foolish.  It's unfortunate how toxic the left has become.

I’m sorry that you had to go through that, no one deserves to feel unsafe in their own homes and towns.
On another note, now that you mention Trump, I’m really starting to want to vote for him. At first, I was gonna vote for Joe because the views and policies he puts out on his website align with my own, but everything about it feels so fake to me because I don’t think a guy as sleepy as Joe could be so ardent on certain positions, it’s just not the aura he has when he speaks. On top of that, Kamala is his running mate, and I’m simply going to use this video to demonstrate why I really don’t want her in office: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RO438JQkw-M
Even though I don’t like some of the stuff that Trump does, at least we know what we’re going to get with him. There’s no telling what could happen with Joe and Kamala at the wheel, especially since their potential presence in office could embolden the rioters and make things a lot worse. I just hope my mom and sister won’t be angry with me for voting for Trump.

Sorry if this is a bit rambly, I just needed to get this off my chest.

It's alright... I know where I live and with the current situation, I should know what to expect.

I don't enjoy talking about politics... politics is why I basically left the blue forum, because if you think differently than the mob you are a monster. I remember seeing an anonymous poll asking a simple question, how do you feel about Trump? Along with some answers and the classic other, post below. I chose the middle of the road answer... I don't agree with everything he says but he is doing an okay job. Within five minutes somebody was screaming who is the a-hole who likes this f-bomber along with somebody saying I hope it was an accident in the comment section below the poll. (It wasn't an accident.) It's not just the blue forum... it's the furry community and social media as well. I feel like I cannot be myself on most of these platforms anymore. I cannot say what is on my mind without people coming out of the woodwork to tell me how wrong I am or how misguided I am! So I end up deleting the post along with all of the comments because I don't feel like dealing with that mess or the possible attacks... I mean I risk having that happen here but the people here have made me feel comfortable being myself.

Don't be afraid to speak your mind here, do what you think is right! I'm going to do what I think is right! We both did some rambling today.

On top of that, Kamala is his running mate, and I’m simply going to use this video to demonstrate why I really don’t want her in office: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RO438JQkw-M
Even though I don’t like some of the stuff that Trump does, at least we know what we’re going to get with him. There’s no telling what could happen with Joe and Kamala at the wheel, especially since their potential presence in office could embolden the rioters and make things a lot worse. I just hope my mom and sister won’t be angry with me for voting for Trump.

Sorry if this is a bit rambly, I just needed to get this off my chest.

It's alright... I know where I live and with the current situation, I should know what to expect.

I don't enjoy talking about politics... politics is why I basically left the blue forum, because if you think differently than the mob you are a monster. I remember seeing an anonymous poll asking a simple question, how do you feel about Trump? Along with some answers and the classic other, post below. I chose the middle of the road answer... I don't agree with everything he says but he is doing an okay job. Within five minutes somebody was screaming who is the a-hole who likes this f-bomber along with somebody saying I hope it was an accident in the comment section below the poll. (It wasn't an accident.) It's not just the blue forum... it's the furry community and social media as well. I feel like I cannot be myself on most of these platforms anymore. I cannot say what is on my mind without people coming out of the woodwork to tell me how wrong I am or how misguided I am! So I end up deleting the post along with all of the comments because I don't feel like dealing with that mess or the possible attacks. I mean I risk having that happen here but the people here have made me feel comfortable being myself.

Don't be afraid to speak your mind here, do what you think is right! I'm going to do what I think is right! We both did some rambling today.

Thanks for the kindness <3
Funny that you mentioned the Blue Forum, because what I’m seeing here is the opposite of what goes on there (the last time I checked, anyway). I figured since people on there are left-leaning, people on here would be too, but then I saw what everyone’s saying and I’m like 👁👄👁. Its weird seeing people express views similar to mine.

Honestly, I watch how Joe Biden has handled himself and it's always been quite poor.  Now that I have learned his DNC final speech was spliced to make him sound adherent, I am even more appalled. In past interviews whenever Biden is met with a question he doesn't like or a voter that asks him something he doesn't like, he gets angry and aggressive.  That isn't good.  He doesn't even seem to know how to handle adversity.

I didn't like Kamala to begin with.  So that wasn't a good choice in my eyes. She seems so phony and since I am pretty sure Joe wouldn't be leading, she would just be following orders from the Democratic Party.  And NOTHING the Democratic Party has done the past four years has made me feel good about them.

Trump at least is getting things done, knows how to work the economy, and has handled the virus in his own way.  He also got us out of wars and has created deals that have benefited out nation. I had been seeing people getting good jobs, making more money.  It was all quite good, very good actually.  Better than anything I remember during the Obama years.  Also unlike what the media and left wants you to think, in my line of work, I see first hand TONS of the good the Trump administration is doing for people in poverty and of different races. 

So yeah.  I am voting for Trump in 2020 now.  The Democrat Party is going quickly down the wrong path.  All you have to do is look at the cities they've been running for decades and how screwed up they are.  :-\

I guess I did some rambling too.

It's amazing how different a community with the same like in sneezes can be so different.  You know why PSF is different?  It isn't controlled by leftist mob think.  When you actually allow centrist and right control, it's amazing how much freedom you have.  Meanwhile the left that claims freedom continues to dwindles freedom as they make more "buzz" words you can't say and things you can't do.

We're adults.  We don't need to be told what we can and cannot say.  If something offends us, we don't go screaming at others, start a protest, then become violent and loot our communities...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well.  It is interesting to see what people think.  I always think overall the public is too dumb (that sounds horrible) to really understand what is going on.  I always worry that people just believe what is force-fed to them on CNN or MSNBC, or they solely believe what they see on social media from no-ones.  They sort of go into a bubble and only read among their out thought bubble.  People who think a certain way, then they themselves believe that.  Social media is full of false information and lies. 

I remember when sites like Imgur just had funny photos.  Now it is overrun with hatred, politics and anything anti-conservative thought.  They've become a bubble that the correct way for everything is progressive, liberal, and left leaning.

That simply isn't right.

So many websites have gone down this path... banning or shadow banning people with conservative ideals or policies... being conservative doesn't make you evil... being a Christian doesn't make you evil... I wish people would stop acting like it does... I'd like it when people say they call out the BS; to actually call out the BS on both political parties... instead they focus on Trump and Republicans because of hate or because of all the misinformation coming from the Democratic party and mainstream media.

I miss when people on the internet had a sense of humor and laughed!

My favorite is when the collective leftwing media decided to make Christians feel like a minority and create a new "minority" called Evangelicals.  They do realize Christians make up the majority of the population still, right?

There are many other things too, such as how tv shows force certain views or have to have a diverse cast, even if it doesn't call for it in the story.  Or always having a homosexual character no matter what... even though they roughly make up less than 4% of the population.  Not everything has to be inclusive and diverse just to tick off boxes.  You can add characters in that actually FIT into rolls instead of forcibly writing them into roles. 

But what do I know?  I'm just a pawn in their eyes.

all the misinformation coming from the Democratic party and mainstream media.

I'm glad we have people who aren't afraid to say where it's mostly coming from too.  Thanks. :)

The endless loop argument... it's racist to acknowledge race but it is also racist to not acknowledge race. If you judge people based on the color of their skin, it's racist... okay. If you ignore race completely and judge people based on the content of their character, it's racist... what? It's racist to acknowledge race and it is also racist to not acknowledge race. That's where the left lost me. lol. It's also racist to say that there is only one race, the human race.

We say we will never forget, but clearly, a portion of the country has forgotten.

I'm tired of all this madness... Just when you think things might finally calm down... This happens. I'm disappointed in people. Hell I've been blocked by a handful of people for simply commenting on their post, asking them not to blame every cop for the action of a few bad cops. Somehow I am the bad guy for caring about people. I don't know what to do about it... The only thing I can do is laugh and eat popcorn, I guess. Pray that the people I care about remain safe and for common sense to become common.

few bad cops.

I might get roasted, but i would call the three cops in the Breonna Taylor shooting bad.  They were carrying out a warrant.  When they opened the door, Breonna's boyfriend (who was standing next to her) all of a sudden pulled out a gun and began firing at the police.  In a sudden scramble, the officers returned fire and unfortunately Breonna was shot as well and died of her injuries.  It's not like they purposely shot at her.  I am sure everything was a blur and the officers only knew that SOMEONE was shooting, but maybe didn't realize who right away.  Plus... you know... heat of the moment, I am sure people aren't always pristinely accurate. 

I am so sick of everything going on.  My lovely city of San Fran is stupid and ruined.  So is most of my lovely bay area.  I quite truly want to move out of California.  The state has been ruined by politicians trying to appease a small vocal minority.

I'm not saying that they are the bad cops... Corrupt cops exist, but I don't consider the cops in this shooting to be corrupt or evil, cops have to make split second decisions everyday. If they don't they might die or other people might get caught in the crossfire and die. I just hate how people on social media twist the story to stir the pot and how mainstream media does the same damn thing. Stop stirring the damn pot! Stop telling half truths... stop bending the truth or omitting facts, like a criminal record. Why do so many people defend the people who pump drugs, guns, and violence into their neighborhood... I just have to laugh... the world is full of clowns.

Sorry if this comes off as a bit harsh... This is the only place I feel comfortable venting or talking... I can't really do that on any other website... I'd probably get banned for it.

Hell, I know I've been blocked by a few people on other websites because of my opinion on the entire situation. Now I have to remain silent or face getting banned from those websites or blocked by everybody on those websites.

^ For the most part, FOX News is far more balanced during their news coverage.  They present middle ground.  But during their pundit shows in primetime, they are conservative for sure.  Though even in those shows, they provide guests and analysts from both sides.

CNN, MSNBC, or any of the classical evening news programs are all leftwing and don't even try to be down the middle anymore.  Even during their news programs, they spout liberal/leftwing viewpoints and alarmist headlines and titles. Recent studies have shown they present news 92% of the time in a negative light towards president Trump.

Title: Re: Politics
Post by: Zracken3 on 2020-09-28 15:28:25
I won't quote individual people since it'd be way too many quotes, but I do want to say a few things as a matter of principle. Hopefully nobody feels like I'm judging them for their political leanings; I just want to provide another perspective on a few things.

The first thing I want to mention is about the police. I agree with what's been said about not all cops being bad people. I've had a few minor encounters with police officers, and it's always gone alright for me. I don't think any reasonable person can defend a position that states that all cops are inherently bad human beings, and I know that the job police officers perform often puts them into situations that are very hard to navigate, and bad things might happen that no one intended.

However, I would like to speak up for those who take issue with the institution of policing, not individual officers. For me and those who think like me, the institution of policing can be quite bad as it creates a sort of "separate" class of citizens -- ones who are empowered by the government to commit violence on its behalf. This has the issue of incentivizing cops to view themselves as "above" their fellow citizens, which is not a healthy attitude for someone in that position. I believe that crime is bad and that violence is sometimes necessary to fight it. But, if officers are the only ones in a society who have a right to commit violence as they see fit, that system is open to abuse. And, people being people, it will be abused at some point. This is, in my opinion, worse than criminal violence, since police officers often have the government at their back when their actions are in question. I won't expound on this point here for brevity's sake, but it is clear that police officers are capable of getting away with much more, regardless of if they do or not.

The other point I'd like to address -- and this will definitely out me for which side of the spectrum I'm on -- is the idea of media bias. I do not believe that any media source in the modern age is associated with any "side" of politics. Some sources may be biased one way or another, but this is not because they actually hold the values of a side. The one value that all media outlets hold, regardless of political bias, is profit. Media companies are businesses, and, as such, they will do whatever they think is most likely to make them money. For CNN and MSNBC, that might be taking a more progressive tone. For Fox, it might be taking a more conservative tone. BOTH benefit from being alarmist and generating fear, however; news stories that say "everything is okay" do not generate good ratings. So, for me -- and here's where my politics become clear -- the issue is not with individual news sources but with the profit motive. As long as media companies are run for profit, they will continue to be divisive, fearmongering, and pandering. Even if they were run by the most good-hearted people on Earth, the incentive to turn a profit will always encourage them to give in to their worse nature.

TL; DR So, to reiterate, not all cops are bad as individuals, but the institution of policing has serious, inherent problems. Media sources can be "biased," but their one true bias is profit; they have no agenda beyond that. I hope everyone appreciates and understands my take on these things, and I'd like to hear what others think about these ideas. And, again, I hope no one feels attacked or judged.

When I say "conservative mindset," I don't mean the positions that conservatives usually take on issues. I know what those are. What I mean by "mindset" is how does one justify or rationalize those positions - why do you think they are the "correct" positions? Let's take one example, say, universal healthcare. How does a conservative thinker rationalize their opposition to universal healthcare?

Or, I guess, how would you rationalize it? I don't expect you to speak for every conservative.  :P

Overall that was a painful debate to watch.  I don't know if anyone walked away with seeing any actual substance.  No new policy, just defending old records.  Poor job at scoring points by both.  But overall, both were on their game if they wanted to look negative on stage.  I guess the positive is for both is that they pulled punches to each other and scored points with their bases.  Maybe more shockingly is Biden saying he doesn't support the Green New Deal, which will be a blow to socialists and the progressive left.  He may further lose support with them as well as them and possible independents who saw no real backbone in his stances with safety in America.  When Biden got flustered, he went to simple name calling.  President Trump came out throwing punches and landing most, but also didn't reveal much in terms of next term policy.  He mentioned some accomplishments and his upcoming Covid-19 plan, but most of that was buried in bloviating between the two of them. Trump's demeanor will definitely turn away women voters even more.

Very much so, hope and pray it won't be severe and cures fast.  No long lasting effects.

Have you seen the extra toxicity being posted around the web and certain news media sites?  They are so excited it seems to hear this news and posting scenarios if the President can no longer lead the country.  It is sickening.  Then you got people on social media chanting and praising this horrible news and saying they hope he dies.  It is disgusting.  The left is absolutely disgusting.  I'm a centrist with both left and right tendencies, but the left is being absolutely disgusting and their actions are appalling.

You should never wish ill on anyone.

I'm not a very "online" person, so I can't speak to the toxicity that's being posted. I can assume, however, that it'd be pretty bad given how volatile the politics around Trump can be, and that goes for both his supporters and his opponents. I know that I, personally, hope to see the President and his family get through this quickly and safely despite my abhorrence for his politics. I don't think disease and death should be things anyone celebrates no matter who it is that is sick or dying. Even if you believe someone's (like a dictator, a terrorist, etc.) death might result in good things for other people, death itself is never something we should delight in or wish for others. I also don't enjoy turning a person's personal health crisis into a political issue.

However, as an "...absolutely disgusting..." leftist myself, I can't let the latter comments slide without offering some of my thoughts. First -- though this should be obvious -- not everybody on the left is praising this news and hoping that Trump dies. I can't speak to what the majority opinion is, but neither can anyone else really; all evidence one way or another would just be anecdotal (and it's usually those with the strongest, worst opinions who speak the loudest anyway). I agree it's pretty appalling that anyone is praying for the President's death, but the way you've worded your criticism seems to be an attempt to dismiss left-wing politics itself and not the people actually making those remarks. This is particularly bad because you're claiming to speak from a "centrist" position, which -- if true -- would give you a more "objective" opinion.

However, if your opinion was objective, why involve politics in it at all? Why not just call out the people on social media for being bad people? Why try and denigrate "the left" as a whole? By framing this as a moral failure of "the left," you're not being "centrist" at all -- it's a completely right-wing perspective.

I would also like to point out that the right will also hope for the deaths of their opponents. A bunch of people talked about assassinating Barack Obama. I see all the time people saying things like "the only good communist is a dead communist." This is not a unique moral failing of the left. This is a failure of people, in general, who are seemingly unable to empathize with another human being. And that sort of twisted thinking is possible no matter what your politics are.

TL;DR In short, I really hope the President and his family make it through this okay. I also don't want you to feel like I'm attacking you personally, Rainberry. But the comments you made are unfair to people like me. And while I agree that the toxic remarks begging for the President's death are disgusting, you can't use it as an opportunity to label everyone with a left-wing perspective as amoral and unempathetic.

By framing this as a moral failure of "the left," you're not being "centrist" at all -- it's a completely right-wing perspective.

I watch the evening news and various news channels throughout the day.  I read news articles and listen to talk radio.  It's pretty clear from any position, centrist or not, that the left has been behind the majority of the attacks and negative headlines constantly.  Whether it is false (you don't have to agree) narratives on various scandals or what have you.  I am not dismissing the left.  I am pointing out that the current hatred on social media is from them towards the President and his current condition.

I am a centrist.  I don't know your values or what you think, nor do you know mine.  So there is no reason to question where my train of thought is coming from.  I am not "claiming" anything about my positions.  I know what I am. 

When there is something for me to point out at fault with the right, I will do the same thing.  Especially when there was the Obama-birther debate or the rights of certain groups, etc.  But just because I am currently pointing out things from the left, doesn't mean I also have to point something wrong with the right to be fair.  The right isn't cheering for President Trump's diagnosis and hoping something awful happens right now.

I would also like to point out that the right will also hope for the deaths of their opponents. A bunch of people talked about assassinating Barack Obama. I see all the time people saying things like "the only good communist is a dead communist." This is not a unique moral failing of the left.

I also don't want you to feel like I'm attacking you personally, Rainberry. But the comments you made are unfair to people like me.

You are attacking me though, even if you don't want me to feel like you are.  So I guess we are even if you feel my comments were unfair to you.  But I don't come to PSF to debate.  Very rarely do I even come on the Politics thread.  I bet I have posted less than 50 times, lol.  I am not taking this personally at all and I hope you don't either.  I remain friends with all here and I truly do not come here to talk politics or debate.  I just wanted to say what I was seeing and I said it.  Usually people just leave it at that here.  People have never felt attacked by comments like that, so please don't feel attacked.  It was never aimed at you or all left leaning people. The same should go for right wing people too, I am not personally attacking all of them.  Though the right... they don't ever say anything here if they are feeling slighted.  They take it on the chin and just keep chugging along.

I probably won't be responding more than this and I might disappear from politics again.  Nothing personal.  Hope you have a nice week and I am glad we agree on the speedy recovery of the President.  I am sure you and I agree on way more than you think, even though I am a centrist.

I have had dark thoughts before but I rarely share them with people online. Thoughts that I am not proud of, but I'm human and like all humans, I make mistakes.

I know some of my comments come off as negative comments towards the left. Being part of the furry community sucks because I can't really share my perspective on a topic without getting mud on my face or banned. I've been banned by artists and authors who are clearly on the left just because I value lives, I have family and friends in law enforcement. So seeing all these comments and journals that paint all officers as being the supreme evil of the world or comments that equal all cops should be six feet under. Just simply asking people to not throw the good out with the bad is enough to get an emotional response and a permanent ban. My ability to explain why I feel the way I feel is taken away from me, so I am forced to silence myself or be removed from the community like I'm cancer.

I'm okay with police reform, but people don't like that option. And I don't like the option of having no police or law enforcement at all. I'm not somebody who likes shooting guns but I am ready and willing to go buy one so I can protect myself and my family from God knows what.

I'm sorry if that wasn't your intention, but you did say in your original comment that "The left is absolutely disgusting," and also "...the left is being absolutely disgusting and their actions are appalling." I realize this might be in reference to a specific group in this specific instance, but it really did sound like a generalized judgement of all left-wing people.

I am a centrist.  I don't know your values or what you think, nor do you know mine.  So there is no reason to question where my train of thought is coming from.  I am not "claiming" anything about my positions.  I know what I am.

I don't know your values or vice versa, yes. I won't claim to. I wanted to point out how what you're saying, though, is not centrist. I believe your first comment was talking about particular people (on the left) doing something you find disgusting. Here, though, in your reply, you are completely claiming that right-wing people are better than left-wing people, at least in this one thing. Again, I don't know what your values are, but the things you're saying are not from a centrist perspective.

You are attacking me though, even if you don't want me to feel like you are.  So I guess we are even if you feel my comments were unfair to you.

I am not attacking you. I'm not trying to assign any characteristics to you or judge your character. I'm just trying to point out the meaning -- intentional or not -- behind the things you're saying. Meaning you might not have been aware of, even. I also don't feel attacked, personally, by either of your comments. My issue was with what you were saying about "the left" as a whole, and I felt the need to respond for the sake of my ideas, not my ego.

Again, I don't want you to feel like I'm attacking you personally. I'm trying to address the things that you said as I understand them.

I probably won't be responding more than this and I might disappear from politics again.  Nothing personal.  Hope you have a nice week and I am glad we agree on the speedy recovery of the President.  I am sure you and I agree on way more than you think, even though I am a centrist.

I support your decision to forgo politics. But I do hope to see you around again soon. I appreciate your contributions, and I hope we can learn from each other. Have a nice week yourself, Rainberry.  :)

We're all human, and our thoughts are not perfect. I feel for you because I've also experienced the same thing. We can only choose which thoughts we act on and try throughout our lives to train our thoughts to be better.

It breaks my heart to hear what others on the left have done to you, megacycle, especially since the left is supposed to be about freedom and acceptance. A lot of people don't live up to these ideals -- a lot of people fail to live up to any ideals. I just want you to know that those things people have done to you are not rooted in real left-wing ideology. They are rooted in hate, pride, callousness and all the darker aspects of humanity. Calls for the abolition of policing as an institution and calls for all cops to be killed are not the same, even as much as people on both sides might pretend that they are.

I hope you can feel safe to express yourself here, and I would love to hear what you have to say about things. Hopefully everyone will learn more that way.

I get where Raine is coming from in her comments about the left being disgusting. That is where the majority of the hatred and anger is coming from right now. Look at our cities falling into chaos with riots and Antifa beating people, looting. Militarization of these radicals in our cities as many videos and outlets report. They carry guns and enforce their own laws in areas they take over like CHAZ. You also had the Republican party shot at by a radical left-wing socialist who injured the one senator. Recently a women was caught sending poison to the President and she was arrested. You got radicalism on the rise from the left right now with extreme views and the rise of the socialist arm from folks like AOC who are toxic themselves in their behaviors and cancel culture. It isn't hard to see as someone not super political where a lot of drama is starting. Russia hoaxes, lying about it in the media and prominent Dems, how Kavanaugh was vetted, constant scandals that turn out to not be true. The Democrats and left have led vicious charges for almost four years non stop. You can't search Trump online without all your search results being negative and anti trump. The rise of the left is becoming Anti American and how students are taught in schools is purely of left-wing mentality, but towards the extreme. I can see this, most people see this. It isn't all on the left doing this but it is a growing vocal group.  What makes it worse is the leaders of the left do not denounce this behavior and in many cases they are promoting it. It was the Republican Party that ended slavery and it was the Democrat party originally who supported the KKK. Back then the Dems didn't condemn those things either. It needs to be nipped.

I shouldn't have to explain the right has faucets of bad too but they aren't doing all of this stuff right now.

I have a somewhat dark sense of humor... so my thoughts are far from pure but I don't want to harbor hatred towards anybody. It's hard... people say and do awful things online.

It breaks my heart to hear what others on the left have done to you, megacycle, especially since the left is supposed to be about freedom and acceptance.

Calls for the abolition of policing as an institution and calls for all cops to be killed are not the same, even as much as people on both sides might pretend that they are.

I do believe that these people are leftist... they have adopted left-wing ideology, but they have taken it to the extreme. I'd call it far-left. People on the right do the same thing... the far-right. I don't think being conservative makes you evil, I don't think being liberal makes you evil. Based on my own beliefs and my opinions, I am a conservative but I don't fall on the extreme end of the spectrum. I believe in having a strong form of law enforcement. I believe in the right to bear arms. I am Christian and I was raised with Christian values. I wasn't raised to hate people or to judge people and I try not to do that, but I am guilty of it. I think we all are.

I hope you can feel safe to express yourself here, and I would love to hear what you have to say about things. Hopefully everyone will learn more that way.

I feel more comfortable expressing myself here than on other sites, I try not to offend people and I usually apologize if I do. I just don't like being told to educate myself (which I will do if I am wrong.) before being blocked by people for simply sharing my own opinion on the subject. That's what most of the people who say they are on the left will do to me, and have done so a few times.

All in all, I'm just depressed by all of this sh**! I want to go back to being ignorant of politics! lol.

@FoxTail

Normally, I'd like to go into more detail with each of your points out of respect for your opinions. But there's so much to unpack, I just have to be brief and list my counterpoints.

1) Saying that the majority of hate is coming from the left ignores the fact that alt-right and fascist groups are also on the rise, and their hate isn't a byproduct of human nature -- it's baked into the ideology.
2) Our cities are not in nearly as much chaos as some on the right say. And what chaos there is might be justifiable given what the order there has looked like. Martin Luther King Jr. has been quoted as saying "a riot is the language of the unheard," and I tend to agree.
3) Militarization of radicals, again, ignores two things. First, right-wing radicals are much more militarized than left-wing groups. Even some moderate ring-wing people were showing up, with guns, at state capitols as a protest to COVID restrictions. The second thing is that, as far as militarization goes, the police are particularly egregious, and that would be a problem in the eyes of a group that doesn't believe the police have their best interests at heart.
4) As for the CHAZ enforcing their own laws -- would that not be ideal? I'm not saying the CHAZ was perfect at all, but aren't the people supposed to determine the laws governing them?
5) The acts of political violence you named are the acts of individual people. I don't support either of them, but I refer again to the MLK quote I have in #2; when people feel like they don't have a voice politically, violence becomes their only option. Whether or not you think they had other options, we need to ask why certain people feel the need to turn to violence.
6) I don't know what particular "extreme views" you're speaking against, but your criticism is based on the idea that "extreme = bad." And that's dependent on where you think the "moderate" views are, which, in reality, might not be so moderate to begin with.
7) The Democrats are not the radical left nor are the radical left the Democrats. Democrats have much more in common with Republicans than they do with the radical left. The Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, for example, has said that he doesn't support the Green New Deal, doesn't support defunding the police (let alone abolishing it), and has only mentioned "expanding Medicare coverage" (not even close to universal healthcare). The Democrats do not support the changes that the radical left are calling for. Why would they? The Democrats are one of the two most influential political groups in the United States right now. Why would they support any significant change if the system already grants them power?
8 ) Criticizing the left as being "Anti-American" is assuming that you both a) know what Americanism is and b) that Americanism is something worth protecting. Those two things may not be true.
9) Students are not taught a "left-wing mentality" in school. Students are taught to be independent, critical thinkers who should not just accept the way the world is as fact. If that leads to a more "left-wing mentality," then I don't have to say anything more.
10) Just because "most people" see something as true does not make it true. Propaganda can and has misled entire populations into thinking what is wrong is right, what is false is true, and vice versa. Just because a movement does not have the force of a majority does not make it less correct. Since you mention slavery (and I'll address the party thing too), most people used to think slavery was good or that it would end on its own. The abolitionists -- the people saying it was wrong to hold other human beings in bondage and that it had to end immediately -- were a small "growing vocal group" at the time.
11) The Republican and Democratic parties are not immutable pillars of competing ideals. They change over time to maintain their support and power. I won't go into all the history behind the "party switch," but there's a reason white nationalists continue to support Donald Trump and not Joe Biden.

This is much more inflammatory than I would like, but, like I said, there was so much to unpack in your comment that I had to be terse. I hope you take these points into consideration, and I hope to see your counter-counterpoints.  :)

@megacycle

I don't have a dark sense of humor myself, but I agree that we shouldn't hate anybody. Hate the things they do, perhaps, but not the person. And, yes, people can be pretty bad online when they have the shield of anonymity.

I will have to disagree with your judgement of those people's ideology though. They may identify as leftists and preach left-wing ideas, but if they're condemning you out of hand simply for not understanding or agreeing with them totally and immediately, then they have failed at living the ideals they claim to represent. I say this as someone who self-identifies as "far-left." I don't believe in strong law enforcement, but I do strongly believe in the right to bear arms. I was only raised culturally Christian, but I have grown much more faithful in my adult life, and it is -- I believe -- precisely for that reason that I've adopted left-wing politics. Which could be seen as ironic, but I don't believe it is. I don't think we should hate and judge either, but I agree with you that it's hard not to. I fight within myself every day to not judge and hate people, and I do fail as well.

I'm glad you feel safe to share your opinions on this site! I hope I can be someone who educates you on left-wing positions instead of just telling you to "educate yourself." And I hope to be taught by you as well.  :)

And amen to the depressing thing! Ignorance really is bliss, haha!

I am down with that.  Since we are the main aggregators here, we can discuss this in PM and figure out what we want to do with this topic.  I feel if we do open it up, it can bring in more GOOD discussion too with good news.  Right now, we have to stick US news into the World News topic and it doesn't always fit well.

The VP debate is over and unlike the first debate where I think Biden edged a victory over Trump, I think Pence beat Harris.  Not at the beginning, he wasn't answering questions, but he quickly changed his responses and started answering like he should.  He answered with substance.  Both answered with a lot of policy, so it depends on your views as to who had the best policy ideas.  But I couldn't get over how often Harris attacked Pence and showed no respect to him a handful of times saying she wouldn't listen to him and telling him to stop talking.  It was pretty rude looking.  Pence sealed the deal with the very last question where he directly answered the students question while Harris just told her to vote for Biden, even though the kid can't vote.  Pence backed up his response by how he acted and treated Harris in the debate.  Harris didn't. 

So in short, Pence won that debate handedly.  In the first debate, Biden looked better than Trump.  There you go.

I just got done watching the debate and wasn't it nice to actually have a debate?  It was nice to hear answers and not constant interrupting.  Mike Pence won this round for the Trump Administration.  He came off as strong and competent.  Maybe he could have showed some more emotion?  But that is a nitpick.  Harris on the other hand did well but slowly became unravelled when Pence started calling her out for lies and her record.  She visually became frazzled.  You also can't shake her lack of being authentic.  She seems like an act, and voters originally said that when she was running for President.  But I think she did good overall in this debate.

Mike Pence's experience prevailed here.  I think they both provided a good view of what their respective campaigns would do in the White House.  Good to have a legit debate!  Good job.

Also the moderator did a nice job.  I don't remember her name, but she works for USA Today.  Nice job, Ma'm.

After tonight's debate, it was pretty clear Biden was rattled.  This debate was great in that we got to hear both of them talk.  President Trump won this debate in substance and policy.  Biden about halfway through began stumbling and backtracking things he had said previously.  He said some damning things that will easily make him lose votes with gas companies and workers about fracking.  He failed and couldn't answer the immigration topics with the Obama-era illegals in cages, and he struggled with the continued harping on Hunter Biden, and corrupt money from China, Russia, and elsewhere.  Overall, it was a strong performance for the President and it was great he didn't interrupt nearly at all compared to the first debate.  Credit to the debate host as well, she did excellent.

This whole election cycle has made me absolutely sick, but this Supreme Court confirmation sucks big time. Amy Cony Barrett's appointment and confirmation is in such stark contrast to the circus show that occurred when Obama tried to appoint Merrick Garland. This blatant hypocrisy and politicization of the Court by the Republican Party has finally confirmed to me that law is dead is this country. Not that we ever really had fair and just laws; this is just the last straw in my book. There are no rules that the rich and powerful have to obey, and people seem willing to let them have whatever they want. I'm so tired of watching the land I love backslide out of democracy and into authoritarianism.

This isn't all a direct result of Barrett's appointment. A lot has gone into these feelings I have about things. I don't believe that Joe Biden getting elected will really fix anything either -- the Democrats are almost as bad as the Republicans, and he's a pretty moderate (almost conservative) Democrat. And if Trump gets another four years instead...well, I just don't know.

What I'd really, really like to hear from somebody -- anybody -- is how you can support Donald Trump's reelection. This isn't a rhetorical question meant to insult Trump backers either. I just...I don't understand. Please, if anyone is genuinely a fan of our president and wants to see him reelected, please just tell me why. I'm sure you have good reasons, and I'd like to share my ideas with you as well.

If the democrats had control over the senate, they would deny Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the supreme court. Since they don't, they'll drag it out for as long as possible. Democrats and Republicans play the same game. That's why I don't like politics, because politicians never answer the tough questions. Instead they redirect the question and focus on a different subject that they are more comfortable talking about.

I would also like to thank @Rainberry for taking the time to list all of that information.

Post by: Zracken3 on 2020-10-27 09:08:14
@megacycle I know the Democrats would try and deny Barrett's confirmation if they had the Senate. I hate the Democratic Party almost as much as the Republican Party. But the issue with that is twofold. One, the Democrats don't control the Senate, so they couldn't block her confirmation, so I'm not criticizing them right now. Two, the flagrant hypocrisy of the Republican Party when you compare Barrett's nomination to Garland's is outrageous. They had the gall to say in March of 2016 that Obama shouldn't pick the new Supreme Court justice -- nearly eight months before the actual election. Their reasoning was "It's an election year, so the next president should get to fill the vacancy." Now, Barrett gets nominated in September of 2020 -- only five weeks before the election -- and the Republicans suddenly feel we should all respect the President's constitutional right to fill vacancies in the Court as they appear. Amazing.

And it's only been one month since Barrett was nominated and then confirmed. Republicans blocked Garland's confirmation for more than eight.

The Supreme Court is supposed to be the highest court in the land. No one can appeal a Supreme Court decision; their rulings are literally law. The fact that the judiciary, the arbiter of what is and is not legal, is a political tool for those in power is the ultimate proof that your rights only exist so far as your leaders want them to. So, I agree, megacycle, that politics in the United States is awful and all politicians are terrible; this is just particularly bad, and it's the Republicans who are doing it.

@Rainberry I'm still working on my response to your post. I'll also thank you again for taking the time to post it. It'll be some time before my response can do it justice, but I'm getting there.

Both sides do the same thing to each other, hypocrisy is a pretty standard thing for politicians... Hating one side more than the other is dumb because both sides are guilty of the same crime. Republicans thought it was immoral when democrats did not and democrats think it is immoral when republicans do not... it is a tactical game that they play to attack the other side during an election year... look at how immoral this side is so vote for my side, vote for my candidate not their candidate.
Title: Re: US News & Politics
Post by: Zracken3 on 2020-10-27 14:34:24
I think it is valid to both criticize all politicians while also admitting that some are worse than others. I do not like the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. I think the Republican Party is worse in many ways, but this does not excuse the crimes of Democratic politicians. Unfortunately, the two-party system -- which our first-past-the-post, winner-take-all voting system practically demands -- forces us to cast a vote for one or the other if we actually want our vote to count. That isn't a failure of individual people either; the way elections operate in the United States will necessarily lead to a binary political landscape.

I like your point about the politics between the parties being "...a tactical  game..." because I entirely agree. From my point of view, as much as both sides like to demonize and vilify each other, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are, in essence, just two different colors of the same authoritarian, neoliberal group. I would defy anyone who argued that this country's problems will be solved by just voting Democrat. Ideally, we would recognize how irreparably broken our system of government is and adopt a new one altogether. But there are powerful interests who like the way things are now, and they convince us to spend all our energy squabbling over things that ultimately mean nothing.

In the spirit of fairness and to reinforce my statement that Democratic politicians are also terrible, I'll share some things I hate about them, briefly. First, since we're talking presidents a lot these days, Obama was a war criminal who murdered innocent civilians in the Middle East using drone strikes. The immigrant concentration camps that Trump now uses were also built under Obama's administration. This is another thing I hate about Democrats: they pay lip service to civil rights on campaign and then turn around and support the same racist, xenophobic programs that Republicans wanted once they get elected. Lastly, I really hate their policies on gun ownership. I think one of the most dangerous routes any country can go down is disarming its citizens, and that's a big ticket issue for Democrats.

Politics seems pointless in the U. S. largely because it is -- if you only talk about Republicans vs. Democrats. But politics is a much more diverse field than that. There are many options beyond what the two parties propose, and voting is not the be all end all of political action. Cynicism about the way the system runs is good if it shows you that we need a new system. It's bad if it becomes hopelessness and lets us excuse the worst crimes of humanity as "just the way things are." I don't think things have to be this way and hopefully you don't either.

I would like things to be a bit more open and free... but the world isn't like that. If you happen to be religious you'll be hated by a select group of people. If you happen to be democrat you'll be hated by a select group of people. If you happen to be republican you'll be hated by a select group of people. If you happen to be liberal you'll be hated by a select group of people. If you happen to be conservative you'll be hated by a select group of people.

Nobody can have an open conversation about politics or policies or share an opinion that differs from another group, because it will lead to an argument... people don't know how to put themselves in the shoes of another person. I had a co-worker from a different department complain about my boss... the way he talks to people or treats people that work under him, because he can be condescending sometimes. I defended him because I know him and work with him almost everyday. I know who is pulling their weight and who isn't pulling their weight in our department, so I know why he acts the way he acts. He's acted that way towards me too, and I deserved it. She didn't want to hear it and ended the conversation. She's not in a management position so she doesn't know what he has to deal with... I do, because he shares it with me because I ask about it. My boss is honest... brutally honest. You could ask him who his favorite associate is and he would respond without missing a beat, "I hate you all equally." and he treats us equally. I prefer that over a boss who plays favorites.

It's not just a politics problem... it's a people problem... people lock themselves into an echo chamber with other people who only agree with their opinions, people with differing opinions get blocked on social media and are avoided in real life, like the plague. Does that make it a social media problem or did social media just accelerate the problem. I don't have the answers... I just know that tolerance is at an all time low. I've seen the ugly side of people that I used to respect. I don't like it.

As well, everything you asked here could be flipped right back around with people asking the same question about the Democrats, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden.  Many will just ask how can you be excited by Joe Biden and Dems going further to the left.

I do sometimes wish we HAD a third party that was competitive. But as it is now, that just isn't happening.

I will say this, despite not being a enthusiastic believer in 2016 and having voted for the blue ticket in my past many times, I cannot deny the great progress done the past four years.  Economically, it has been great.  I have personally never been at this high a level with my job.  Our company gave everyone raises a few years back during the economic boom (Which they have never done in the past) and then they gave us raises again this year! My taxes are lower and my family's drug costs actually have gone done.  I never thought I would see that happen. Our country has been safe from outside threats and I do believe Pres. Trump is seen as a force among our enemies.  They don't know what he will do, and that might be the best deterrent.  I have seen and witnessed his "America first" policy and it has so far been nothing but good for my family.  I do believe our economy will come roaring back, and early numbers are showing great growth.  Our markets are already running at pre-pandemic levels again.  So I have officially changed my blue vote to a red this time around.  I am not ashamed to say that either.

Morally speaking as well, I have shifted to be more conservative as my young and rebellious ways now seem silly and full naivety.

I don't like to debate or talk politics much ever, but I saw some questions and I wanted to answer.  Have a nice day everyone who posts in this thread!

It would be interesting to have a PSF poll with two options, Biden or Trump.  Anonymous of course and no way for people to respond.  Just see what people choose a week before the election.

@megacycle If you think it's an inherent problem of human nature, I can't really argue. I would say that it's the systems we've had forced on us that push us to be so vicious and sectarian, but I can't offer any evidence to prove it. All I know is that I can't believe that things have to be the way they are because the way they are sucks for a whole lot of people. I have to believe we can do better. I echo your despair for people's lack of empathy, but I think it ought to be applied universally. For example, why is your coworker so mean to your boss? Why do some people not "pull their weight?" You could say it's just laziness or selfishness, but I find that people are usually more complex than that. It doesn't make what they're doing (or not doing) right, but it should be considered when we judge somebody.

@RainySunshine I would hope that she would care enough to at least hear what I have to say, but, ultimately, I want to respond for everyone's benefit. Even if the debate won't continue, just having different viewpoints available for people to read is, I think, politically healthy.

For your other quote, I would say that I'm not excited for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I think they would represent something of a return to "normalcy" which might be welcome after four years of Trump, but the situation before Trump was not good either.

As for how someone could be excited about a shift to the left -- which, I will say, Harris and Biden do not represent -- I would say that we'd first need to define "left." If "left" means more gun control and tokenism under a Democratic hegemony, then, no, a shift to the "left" sounds miserable. If "left" means an actual shift in U. S. politics away from authoritarianism and capitalism -- which, again, Biden and Harris do not represent -- then, yes, a shift to the left would be wonderful. I seriously doubt that will ever happen under the current system, but I can explain a bit why that would be welcome.

First, authoritarianism is awful. Power can corrupt even the most incorruptible people as they seek to maintain their hold over it. They might even start off with good intentions, but the need to hold on to power will drive them to compromise on their principles. So minimizing the amount of power that our leaders hold would do us all good. Biden and Harris are politicians, so I don't trust them to do this, but it would be slightly better than the strongman, nationalistic attitude of our current president.

Second, capitalism is awful. It is, in fact, completely antithetical to democracy. We spend about one third of our lifetimes at work. It's also the source of our well-being; you have to earn wages for a living. And yet, nearly every company is run like a mini dictatorship. Your boss tells you what to do, and you must do it. If you don't, you get fired and lose your livelihood. There is no debate, there is no compromise, their is no understanding. You have no say in the way the place you work at, the place you depend on to make ends meet, is run. Not unless you have a really, really cool boss or are blessed enough to be part of a workers' cooperative. How is such a system acceptable in a supposedly free country? What rights do you have that couldn't be threatened by your employer firing you? I don't blame people for upholding capitalism after 50 years of Cold War propaganda -- I certainly did for awhile -- but it really makes no sense to organize an economy this way if you value individual liberty.

I don't think a jarring shift to the left will help at all... If anything it might make things worse. We need to draw people on the left and right back towards the center. We need politicians that will actually communicate with each other over issues and find a common ground solution that's best for the people not the party.

Capitalism gives people an opportunity to create their own company. There must be leadership in a company in order for the company to function, tasks are given to people and they must be fulfilled. If tasks are being fulfilled then the chance of being fired is low. If tasks aren't being fulfilled then the chance of being fired is high. That's to be expected. People who do not do the job that they are hired to do should be terminated. The person who created the company should have full control over the company. The free market gives people an opportunity to create their own business... The alternative is giving full control of the economy to the government. Turning all these mini dictatorships into a full blown dictatorship.

If an employee isn't happy with their job, they should find another job that they'll enjoy or take a chance and create their own business. Unions also exist to protect employees from being terminated unfairly.

@Graymist I can't take away the benefits you and your family have seen over the last few years. For you and them, those are very real, and I would not hold it against you to be in favor of that. I would offer two words of warning though. First, economics is always a tricky subject in politics. It's very hard to say what is and is not the result of individual policies and presidents. The drug prices and tax cuts are obvious, but pay raises and career advancement are not so much. But, for that reason, I cannot prove that Trump's actions are either good or bad. If you believe they've helped you and your family, again I can't take that from you. My second point would be that, while things have gotten better for you, consider that they may not have gotten better for others. I'm not sure how things really are at the moment -- again, it's hard to tell with economics -- but try not to let your vote be decided only by what's good for you. By all means, vote for things you think would be in your interest, but think about other people's needs as well. Not saying you haven't, but I just wanted to say that.

As for Trump's handling of foreign threats, I think he really hasn't done that great. His talks with Kim Jong-un I think could be a step in the right direction. Even his appeasements of Vladimir Putin's Russia might be a good move, Russian election interference aside. Where I think Trump really fails is in diplomacy with our allies. His "America first" attitude plays into this as well. For all of America's great and terrible weapons, our greatest military assets are, undeniably, our allies. Trump's antagonistic attitude towards them has started to make many of them imagine a time when they won't be able to rely on American support, and that would be a tremendous blow to American global influence. Besides that, I think Trump has needlessly flared tensions with Iran and Palestine that makes America less safe, not more. I appreciate him not further escalating things in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he hasn't ended those wars either.

I think your conservative shift is interesting because I have shifted to the left as I get older. My earlier forays into politics were much more conservative, and I have voted for Republicans in the past. Now, I consider myself back then as naïve too.

I'd also like to see a poll done to see what people think. I think it's a little short notice though -- wouldn't be enough time for people to vote.  :P

I've clearly become more conservative as I grow older, I do want equality and strive towards that goal. I just feel like the censorship, media bias, and cancel culture has become ridiculous. Movie stars and regular people being harassed because they might be christian or don't want to pick sides. I'm done for the night. I should be in bed. Goodnight everybody!

If "left" means an actual shift in U. S. politics away from authoritarianism and capitalism then, yes, a shift to the left would be wonderful.

Please share a political example of what you consider a good example of a government you want to live under.  What do you call this political system you like and what country currently uses it?

Second, capitalism is awful. It is, in fact, completely antithetical to democracy. We spend about one third of our lifetimes at work. It's also the source of our well-being; you have to earn wages for a living. And yet, nearly every company is run like a mini dictatorship. Your boss tells you what to do, and you must do it. If you don't, you get fired and lose your livelihood. There is no debate, there is no compromise, their is no understanding.

All typical anti-capitalism criticisms for sure.  You alluded to but didn't mention income inequality.  But I also have to say, what world do you live in?  Capitalism and hard work helped make America what it is.  It helped us modernize and grow at an insane rate and allow for everyone to enjoy a prosperity that had never been seen in the world.  Sure there are things to improve, but your solution of getting rid of capitalism is not the answer at all. 

I'm also sorry if you have a boss that treats you like that.  I don't know anyone who works in any company or business that is like that. Even big corporations, at the local level, people build relations and care for one another.  If they can help a fellow co-worker out they will. 

I will say it is crap that people can work full time or even part time, and still not have a comfortable life style. But that may be the issue, what do we define as "comfortable?" Are we still trying to attain the boomer middle class lifestyle as comfortable?  The lifestyle most people in the work force today grew up in? Maybe we need to redefine what a "comfortable lifestyle" is and not base it on the past?  Maybe a suburban home, a fence, and a car isn't the right image anymore?



---------------------------

Then here is some other points mentioned in other posts I couldn't figure out how to multi-quote.  You asked for some evidence on things posted by Raine and what not... 

You asked which percentage of Americans did the Trump economy help?  Turns out it was the majority.  The leftwing Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/07/president-trumps-repeated-claim-greatest-economy-history-our-country/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a94a5a1ade89) even admits this.  America's middle class is growing for the first time in the past 20 some years instead of shrinking.  As well, during Trump's term wages have improved (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/07/president-trumps-repeated-claim-greatest-economy-history-our-country/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a94a5a1ade89) for the first time in a generation, and they are at an all-time high (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/american-workers-thriving-thanks-president-donald-j-trumps-middle-class-tax-cuts/). People may have made more money as well thanks to companies passing along some of the savings due to their tax cuts as well (https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2018-ends-312000-jobs-created-december-strong-year-job-market/). In 2019, the 25% lowest-paid Americans enjoyed a 4.5% income boost in November 2019, which outpaces a 2.9% gain in earnings for the country’s highest-paid workers in the same time period.  Low-wage workers are benefiting (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-05-15/wage-stagnation-was-mostly-a-myth?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTlRNMU5UUTROalZtWlRjdyIsInQiOiJwWE9DY1YzR0lcL1NSenppSzJMVjBXbUdaQnRIWTJUdVdvVzVTd2RXUWNrOFZzT25XR1hya0ZsaVpEc1BWRUtwamxFRk1RS0xZWnVmU0xEdE9BUHZlSFJtd0J2aFd5c25ZOWNZY2REZWJrdkZCMnVcLzA1SVNGdzB4QVU1TmdGdm41In0%3D) from higher minimum wages (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf) and from corporations that are increasing entry-level pay.  Possibly tied to the tax breaks as well. 

Some people were saying the stock market has soared, and they are right.  It hit more record highs in the past four years, then in the entire past 30 years combined.  Even CNN admits (https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/01/politics/trump-economy-inequality-2020/index.html) this.  Shocking...   I don't trust polls, but when even a CNN Poll (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/02/politics/cnn-poll-trump-economy-2020/index.html) shows Trump's approval ratings at an all time high and American's doing good in the economy at an all time high... you know something is up.

I will add a few things not mentioned.  Trump recently signed three bills to benefit Native people. One gives compensation to the Spokane tribe for loss of their lands in the mid-1900s, one funds Native language programs, and the third gives federal recognition to the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians in Montana.  This is just a tiny example, but there has been SO much work if you follow certain circles like I do, that the Trump admin has done for our Native American people.  It is never reported, but some of this stuff is truly wonderful.  I wish it was shared. I wish I knew of a website that had all of it listed to share with you, but I don't know of any.  I get it through regional Native American news journals mailed to me.

Did you know this? Trump signed a bill making CBD and Hemp legal.

Violent crime had fallen every year Trump's been in office, prior to the pandemic.  Prior, violent crime had been rising the two years before he was elected.

Gas prices sure got lower, which I am sure everyone is happy about.  Cars also have gotten more fuel efficient (https://www.msn.com/en-in/autos/news/fuel-efficiency-a-costly-task-for-car-companies-here-e2-80-99s-why/ar-BB18YQvx), despite regulations (https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/490318-trump-administration-rolls-back-obama-era-fuel-efficiency-standards) and red tape being cut (https://www.foxbusiness.com/money/trump-unveils-safer-affordable-fuel-efficient-vehicles-rule). But this comes at the cost of using our own oil reserves which I do not like.  We need to be saving it for a rainy day.  Thankfully we have many companies working on alternative energy cars too. 

I am confirming the mass amount of manufacturing jobs coming back and helping mainly blue color areas of the country, especially areas hardest hit with jobs moving overseas.  Forbes says that the Obama admin saw millions of jobs lost in his first two years, and those jobs never came back (https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2018/10/16/the-trump-manufacturing-jobs-boom-10-times-obamas-over-21-months/#2e0bf9a45850). Trump brought back jobs manufacturing jobs (https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2018-ends-312000-jobs-created-december-strong-year-job-market/) at a very fast rate and continues to do so according to monthly reports and business magazines.  To bring jobs back, the Trump Admin has focused on leveling the playing field, to lower costs in the US to do business, and make it financially smart to do business in the US. With a mixed bag of tax-code improvements, removal of red tape, new trade agreements, and competitive tariffs, the U.S. economy is more insulated from failure. Even the Federal Reserve is willing to lower rates if other countries harm the U.S. trading environment.

I am confirming that unemployment hit all time lows for whites (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/04/black-and-hispanic-unemployment-is-at-a-record-low.html), blacks, hispanics, asians, and all other races in the US under the Trump administration (https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/06/economy/black-unemployment-rate/index.html).  It continued to go down (https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/dont-look-now-but-minority-unemployment-is-at-record-lows-under-trump/) even prior to the virus hitting.  Thankfully it is going down again.  As well, employment for all ethnicities within the US hit record highs (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/trump-economic-boom-benefiting-americans/).  Also record low (https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/sep/26/west-virginia-republican-party/unemployment-women-lowest-point-almost-70-years/) unemployment for women overall in the US under Trump admin.

Remember the Flint, Michigan water fiasco?  While not political... I am making it political.  City run by Democrats, people poisoned by toxic water.  Well... That was an ongoing thing that started in the Obama Admin (I am not blaming Obama Admin for this, it's the city's fault).  But years after the issue was discovered, not much was being done.  Well, in 2016 when Trump got elected, Trump told the EPA to fix it.  They did (https://www.epa.gov/flint#:~:text=EPA%20Awards%20%24100%20Million%20to%20Michigan%20for%20Flint,service%20lines%20and%20make%20other%20critical%20infrastructure%20improvements.).  Flint is now drinking fresh water again.   

Trump signed a sex trafficking bill and so far, it has been very successful and stopping this horrible act, thanks to proper funding of our law enforcement agencies to carry out these programs.  Here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Enabling_Sex_Traffickers_Act) is more on the bills.  The Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) and Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA).

Trump signed a bill to require (https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/donald-trump-approves-act-requires-airports-breastfeeding-rooms-172942837.html) airports to provide spaces for breastfeeding moms.  Let Mom's feed! Women's health, the more you know.

The President signed the biggest wilderness protection & conservation bill (https://www.chicoer.com/2019/03/12/trump-signs-largest-wilderness-protection-bill-in-a-decade/) in a decade and designated 375,000 acres as protected land.  That's pretty cool.  I like wilderness.  He also signed the Save our Seas Act which funds $10 million per year to clean tons of plastic & garbage from the ocean.


I would continue, but my dinner is done cooking, so I will leave with this note on healthcare.  He signed a bill this year (2020) allowing some drug imports from Canada so that prescription prices would go down.  I can't find the links right now, but there are tons.  As well as drug price transparency and lowered costs to the elderly, low income (https://www.npr.org/2020/09/13/912545090/trump-signs-new-executive-order-on-prescription-drug-prices), and better protections for our Veterans (https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/07/30/veterans-win-trump-administrations-mission-act-reforms.html).  In short hospitals will now be required to post their standard charges for services, which include the discounted price a hospital is willing to accept.  As well Trump signed an executive order this year that forces all healthcare providers to disclose the cost of their services so that Americans can compare prices and shop and knowing how much less providers charge insurance companies. 

In the eight years prior to Trump’, prescription drug prices increased by an average of 3.6% per year. Under Trump, drug prices have seen year-over-year declines in nine of the last ten months, with a 1.1% drop as of the most recent month.  Not to mention the new executive orders designed to cut costs (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-drugprices-explainer-idUSKCN24S19W), too early to tell, but it seems favorable.

Okay, dinner time.

Thank you @Wolfwood for this plethora of information and links, I was aware of some of these things but didn't know about all of them. I'm sure there is more that could be shared but I appreciate you taking time out of your day to post what you did.

Please share a political example of what you consider a good example of a government you want to live under.  What do you call this political system you like and what country currently uses it?

I will share my ideas on this, but only after I make my counterpoints to what you’ve given. The reason for this is because I suspect that the moment I name the ideology I believe in, I will cease to be taken seriously by anyone here. Hopefully I can make my points before then.

All typical anti-capitalism criticisms for sure.  You alluded to but didn't mention income inequality.

I had plans to mention income inequality, but I was looking more into it before bringing it up. But, yeah, an economy that doesn’t work for everybody is not an economy worth upholding.

But I also have to say, what world do you live in?

The same one as you, I believe. I'm on Earth at the moment.

Capitalism and hard work helped make America what it is.  It helped us modernize and grow at an insane rate and allow for everyone to enjoy a prosperity that had never been seen in the world.  Sure there are things to improve, but your solution of getting rid of capitalism is not the answer at all.

Capitalism and hard work are not synonymous. A person is perfectly capable of being industrious without the threat of homeless and starvation. Capitalism – the private ownership of the things people need to survive – did not modernize us; technology, science, and rationalism did. And I’d also like to point out that where capitalism may have caused prosperity, it has also caused unjustifiable suffering along the way. You mention Native Americans later on. While I don’t think capitalism is solely to blame for the atrocities committed to the indigenous peoples of America, the greed and profit-seeking it encourages surely made things worse, and many dark actions were justified under the guise of economic development. Nowadays, capitalism is global, and rich nations such as the United States only enjoy their wealth of consumer goods on the backs of wage slaves in developing countries.

I'm also sorry if you have a boss that treats you like that.  I don't know anyone who works in any company or business that is like that. Even big corporations, at the local level, people build relations and care for one another.  If they can help a fellow co-worker out they will.

Many of the protections and benefits we enjoy in the developed world are not a result of capitalism but of the actions of unions and political activists that actively opposed it. Businesses were forced to make concessions to these groups or risk the possibility of losing their influence altogether. Things like minimum wage, the 40-hour work week, and the two-day weekend were not handed down from the top; they were fought for from the bottom up, and some even died for it. And people care for one another because they’re people. Empathy is a natural human emotion. All of these things occur in spite of capitalism not because of it.

I will say it is crap that people can work full time or even part time, and still not have a comfortable life style. But that may be the issue, what do we define as "comfortable?" Are we still trying to attain the boomer middle class lifestyle as comfortable?  The lifestyle most people in the work force today grew up in? Maybe we need to redefine what a "comfortable lifestyle" is and not base it on the past?  Maybe a suburban home, a fence, and a car isn't the right image anymore?

I agree that people who work should be entitled to a comfortable lifestyle. I also don’t know what “comfortable” means in this context. I don’t think the suburban ideal is what we ought to go for though. There’s more nuance to this than I’m willing to go into here.

-------------------------------------------------------

And now for the Donald Trump stuff……

The Washington Post article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/07/president-trumps-repeated-claim-greatest-economy-history-our-country/?noredirect=on) you sited doesn’t say what you say it says. It makes no mention that the “majority” of Americans have benefitted nor does it talk about a growing middle class. It does, however, quote a macroeconomist by the name of Robert Gordon as saying “wages are still stagnating, average hourly earnings [growth] of 2.8 over last year is about the same as the consumer price index, so real wages haven’t grown at all.” So, there’s that.

The rest of the economic stats you list all come from whitehouse.gov – the literal official website of the President. This one (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/american-workers-thriving-thanks-president-donald-j-trumps-middle-class-tax-cuts/) doesn’t site any sources, while this one (https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2018-ends-312000-jobs-created-december-strong-year-job-market/) tries to but is still blatantly omitting data to make the President look good. I can’t trust these sources at all. Economic trends are also very hard to link to specific policies or actions as The Washington Post article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/07/president-trumps-repeated-claim-greatest-economy-history-our-country/?noredirect=on) you sited mentions.

The CNN article (https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/01/politics/trump-economy-inequality-2020/index.html) you linked also doesn’t say what you say it says. It does make a good point about whether or not this economic growth is sustainable. Usually, the sensible thing to do when the economy is good is to raise taxes so that the government has more funds available for the next recession. Cutting taxes during a period of economic growth could certainly spur further growth in the short term, but what’ll happen when the good times are over? It also mentions income inequality again.

I also don’t trust polls, but the CNN one (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/02/politics/cnn-poll-trump-economy-2020/index.html) you list again doesn’t say what you say it says. It says that Trump’s approval rating on the economy was at an all-time high at 56%, but not his general approval rating. In fact, his economic approval rating was the only one above 50%. His general favorability rating was only 45%, with 54% having a negative view. This was the highest favorability rating since his first 100 days in office, but not of all time. I’d also point out that this article is from May of 2019 – before the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s a link to the FiveThirtyEight (https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/) aggregated poll for the President’s approval rating.

I looked into what you mentioned on Native American issues. I found a The Hill article (https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/diversity-inclusion/476049-trump-signed-three-bills-affecting-native) that mentions the same things, and it seems pretty legit. And I have nothing bad to say here really. Kudos to Donald Trump for supporting indigenous peoples. I’d like to think we can do much more than this as a country, but good news is good news.

For the cannabis thing, Trump is not a supporter of legal marijuana really. His Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, rescinded the Cole Memorandum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cole_Memorandum) in 2018, and Democrats had to introduce a bill called the Sensible Enforcement of Cannabis Act (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/493) to replace it. It’s been sitting in committee for awhile now. Personally, I don’t think it’s a big issue for Trump, and he’s likely willing to ignore it. He’d never support legalizing it though as it would upset the socially conservative and evangelical parts of his base.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I would really, really like to look into the other things you and Rainberry brought up, but I just don’t have the time right now, unfortunately. I will now proceed to dismantle all ethos and credibility I may have had (and, thus, render all this work meaningless) by sharing with you my political persuasion of choice.


I am an anarcho-communist. That is anarchy plus communism. Anarchy comes from Greek an- meaning “without” and archos meaning “rulers.” So, “without rulers.” As an ideology, anarchism holds that no hierarchy or authority ought to exist that cannot immediately and reasonably justify itself as necessary, and anywhere where hierarchy is not required, it should be abolished. Anarchists do not believe in disorder or chaos. In fact, the common A within an O (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy#/media/File:Anarchy-symbol.svg) symbol popularly used to represent anarchy is supposed to stand for “anarchy is order.” I can refer to further reading if anyone is interested, but, if not, that’s fine. I don’t expect many people to be.

Communism – or socialism – is the idea that the means of production ought to be collectively owned by the people. In simpler terms, the things people need to survive and the things used to make those things should not be owned by individuals but by the communities who need them. Communism – or socialism – is not when the government (or state) owns everything. That is called “state capitalism.” Some communists think a transition period of state capitalism is necessary before achieving full communism. I do not. I can, again, point people to further resources if they are interested in learning more. But, again, I don’t expect many people to be.

Thank you all for being so engaging. I feel much more informed now than I did before. Hopefully we can continue to have productive discussions like this in the future.

Capitalism gives people an opportunity to create their own company. There must be leadership in a company in order for the company to function, tasks are given to people and they must be fulfilled. If tasks are being fulfilled then the chance of being fired is low. If tasks aren't being fulfilled then the chance of being fired is high. That's to be expected. People who do not do the job that they are hired to do should be terminated. The person who created the company should have full control over the company. The free market gives people an opportunity to create their own business... The alternative is giving full control of the economy to the government. Turning all these mini dictatorships into a full blown dictatorship.

If an employee isn't happy with their job, they should find another job that they'll enjoy or take a chance and create their own business. Unions also exist to protect employees from being terminated unfairly.

Only people who already have money can feasibly start their own business. Those who have no start-up capital have no chance of ever developing a business unless they can convince other people who already have money to lend them some. The power is entirely in the hands of those with money.

Leadership should exist where tasks need to be coordinated in business or otherwise. The authority of leadership should also come from the consent of those being led. This holds true for government as well as business. If you start a business and require the labor of other people to accomplish your goals, those people should have just as much say over how things are done as you do. Otherwise, you're just looking for coerced labor. Your point of "do task = not fired, don't do task = fired" is precisely that: coerced labor.

The government and capital are not the only ones capable of ownership. Communities can own things as well -- the people can own things. This isn't a new idea either; the commons used to be a thing.

Your argument that those who don't like their job should just find another job speaks to a fundamental flaw in free market logic. If you want to quit your job, your employer will just find someone to replace you. In the meantime, they'll make out alright. You, on the other hand, lose access to your source of income. That means no food, no house, no clothes, no medicine, no transport until you can find a different source of income. The relationship is not equal; your employer has much more leverage over you than you have over them. When every job is like this, changing which one you have doesn't really get you anywhere. And I already mentioned how starting your own business is not an option.

Unions do exist to protect people from unjust termination. I like unions and organized labor. I wish labor were much more organized than it currently is. Hopefully I and everyone else can work on that.

So all these youtube celebs started with money. Most that I followed started their career while working a part time or full time job. Some started while living with their parents, posting videos consistently to gain traction.

Artists sell their craft through commissions or creating comics and other crafts like badges, buttons, and other decorative items; while also working a part time or full time job. They used sites like patreon and subscribestar to create a place where people who like their content can donate money so they can receive more content. Most of these people started from nothing but have built a career around a hobby that they enjoy.

There are crowd sourcing sites to help people get an idea for a product off the ground and into the hands of their backers and customers.

Some people study hard to get scholarships so they can go to a prestigious college. Some want to be doctors, lawyers, actors, writers, and more; and they spend years learning so they can achieve their dream.

So by your belief none of this should've been possible for anybody. That is the power of the free market, capitalism. Removing the free market will put the ball in the government's court, now they decide who can do what, removing our ability to choose our careers. It would be a dictatorship.

I admit I don't visit this thread so much; I'm a rather unpolitical person and I'm outside the US, so I won't join a debate here. But there is something I'd like to say:
First of all, from what I see here whenever I have a curious look into this thread, I really appreciate how everybody here (or most people at least; I can only speak of what I've seen) is respectful of other users' opinions, even when discussions get a bit heated sometimes. That's truly rare on the internet, and it makes me feel one more time that I've come to the right place here.

Also, @Zracken3, hats off to you for your courage to state your political persuasion of an anarcho-communist.
I sympathize with that idea very much although I can't say I would agree 100%. A lot of what you have written in your posts here makes me nod in agreement - and some things you have written make me shake my head - but I'd like to assure you of my solidarity in this point.

Now, off to writing unpolitical stuff again.  :)
Have a great day everyone!

Thank you for your wonderful comment @kiku . Sorry I had to go and ruin it with my last post.  :'(

I agree that the political discussion here, while intense, is at least respectful of the people involved. I think the fact that we're all part of a sneezing community outside of this really helps; can't be too judgey, haha!  ;D

I respect your decision to remain unpolitical, even if I think it's a luxury that not everyone can afford. Especially since you're not in the United States; I can see how that would be weird. Then again, Americans could really benefit from some outside insight, I think. Nonetheless, I still respect your decision.

And thank you for your sympathies. I don't expect anybody to hear anarchy + communism and immediately think "you know, I can get behind that," but it's nice to not be immediately dismissed either.

I'm all for helping people get back on their feet but it might mean they work a job that they do not like. Thanks for the condescending response. I know the world isn't perfect but I don't think any form of communism will ever work here in the states. You complain about the power the politicians hold now, who do you think will hold the power in a communist country. Because I know it won't be me or you, it'll be the politicians and the rich.

I am an anarcho-communist. That is anarchy plus communism. Anarchy comes from Greek an- meaning “without” and archos meaning “rulers.” So, “without rulers.” As an ideology, anarchism holds that no hierarchy or authority ought to exist that cannot immediately and reasonably justify itself as necessary, and anywhere where hierarchy is not required, it should be abolished. Anarchists do not believe in disorder or chaos.

Aren't you lucky to live in one of the country's that allows you to sit back and have your own thoughts as such.  To live in a nation where you can speak ill or positively of it's systems and leadership.  Because that never would have been allowed in Communist country's of the past.  As for anarchy, I haven't seen that work well either.  But I am thrilled you are sharing your thoughts and have the freedom to think that. 

Since there is no perfect society or society structure, this system too would fall to the ills of man.  We can never be perfect, nor can we create something perfect. Someone will always try to deceive and take advantage.  There will always be some form of hierarchy whether official titles are given or not.  It's just how it goes.

Ugh, I had a much better reply to this, but my login timed out and I lost it all.  >:( I'll just be really brief.

I am lucky to live here as compared to some other places, but I am not allowed to have my own ideas. Here are a few examples of why:
 - 1886: Seven anarchists sentenced to death with no evidence other than they were anarchists (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_affair)
 - 1903: Illegal to enter the U. S. if you're an anarchist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1903#:~:text=The%20Immigration%20Act%20of%201903,beggars%2C%20and%20importers%20of%20prostitutes.)
 - 1918: Now you can be deported for being an anarchist if you were already here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1918)
 - 1952: Reinforcing the thing above (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1952)
 - 1954: Communism is still illegal in the United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Control_Act_of_1954)
 - 2020: Even a whiff anarchism is still enough to provoke legal suppression (https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/522748-whats-behind-trumps-project-to-defund-anarchist-jurisdictions)

Here's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Catalonia) an example of anarchism working.

Here's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_communist_party_rule#By_left_communists) my response to your statement about "communist" countries.

Thank you @Wolfwood for this plethora of information and links, I was aware of some of these things but didn't know about all of them. I'm sure there is more that could be shared but I appreciate you taking time out of your day to post what you did.

No problem. :)  I got off work, was done working on some projects outside, came inside to warm up, and thought now would be a good time to do a little deeper diving. :)

Here's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Catalonia) an example of anarchism working.

Here's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_communist_party_rule#By_left_communists) my response to your statement about "communist" countries.

Doesn't it stink to have stuff you've written disappear?  I've had that happen many times.  Then there are those few moments where you try to go back and pray it's there, but it just isn't.  Then you have to deal with the sadness of your work being gone and you quickly try to make up for it, but it's never as good as the original.  I get ya.

Now on to the meat.  It seems even in Catalonia there, which of course got consumed by Spain shortly after it's creation, was falling into chaos and... well... anarchy.  In the very link you provided.

During the first weeks of the war, courts of law were replaced by revolutionary tribunals and extrajudicial killings by militants and vigilantes soon followed.

"Everybody created his own justice and administered it himself...Some used to call this 'taking a person for a ride' [paseo] but I maintain that it was justice administered directly by the people in the complete absence of the regular judicial bodies."

— Juan García Oliver, Anarchist minister of justice, 1936.


During the initial fighting several thousand individuals were executed by anarchist and socialist militants based on their assumed political allegiance and social class.

"We do not wish to deny that the nineteenth of July brought with it an overflowing of passions and abuses, a natural phenomenon of the transfer of power from the hands of privileged to the hands of the people. It is possible that our victory resulted in the death by violence of four or five thousand inhabitants of Catalonia who were listed as rightists and were linked to political or ecclesiastical reaction."

— Diego Abad de Santillán, editor of Solidaridad Obrera.


Because of its role as a leading supporter of the Nationalist cause,[95] the Catholic Church came under attack throughout the region. Church buildings were burned or turned into warehouses and put to other secular uses. Thousands of members of the Catholic clergy were tortured and killed and many more fled the country or sought refuge in foreign embassies.

So anyone who didn't think the way of the anarchists who placed themselves in positions of power, were murdered and their voices silenced. 

And reading through the history, just days following fierce fighting in Barcelona, the Communists and Anarchists fought against each other.

Nothing the anarchist-communist people in control (because they can't be a government, right?) didn't work and the people lived in poverty and feared for their lives due to rampart crime and suppression. There was widespread implementation of anarchist ideals and more broadly libertarian socialist organizational principles throughout the country for two to three years, primarily Catalonia, Aragon, Andalusia, and parts of the Levante. Much of Spain's economy was put under worker control. 

Look up Alcora and how it was purely communist with no money.  There was no property. It was quite the interesting experiment.  People who couldn't afford things could simply take in the hope that someone else would provide.  It's all idealistic thinking, but it soon began to show cracks even before the Spanish forces moved in to regain control.  They started to have sectors of their communities who didn't work and simply consumed while others did all the work.  What I also found interesting though is that certain regions began to move towards a Democratic process, away from their anarchy beginnings.  Which means they had to place people in power.... and have people leave, which goes against the foundation of anarchy.  It's weird how anarchist movements all have to have leaders lead them... Why is that?

There were also socialist sectors within the region as well, but none were able to survive for long.  In small numbers, socialism might work, but in a large country sized population, even a big village, it will have it's bad actors and begin to crumble as we have seen countless times in history.

There is no perfect society, but there are societies that are better than others.  If you like this though, that's all you.  It would be nice to sit back all day and not have to do anything and have all my needs simply given to me.  Sort of sounds like childhood.

A few shops opened up in Portland, Oregon with the belief of pay what you want, and if you don't want to pay, go ahead and take it.  The goal was you would give back later.  Those businesses of course quickly folded. 

The closest example I could think of to an community run by anarchy in the current day is Freetown Christiania.  Granted it is flooded with drugs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetown_Christiania#Drugs), open sex, homeless people just moving there because they could, and people not wanting to work (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14411220-freetown-christiania).  There were several accounts of violent crimes taking place there that got media attention but most of it was hush hush.  It is the city's biggest crime den with all sorts of vice and crime happening, often unreported. Oh wait... apparently (https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/christiania-copenhagen-denmark/index.html) it was finally removed? (https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/sep/23/copenhagen-christiania-drugs-commune-future) 

But back to Revolutionary Catalonia.  That was a very interesting point and quite enjoyable to read about again.  I actually have a book somewhere that talks about it.  I remember reading it before.  It also talked about other separatist type movements.  I should try to find that again someday. :)  Nice conversation.

@Wolfwood Thank you for taking the time to read and respond again and also for diving deeper into things. I appreciate it.

Unfortunately, this will be it for me in this thread. It was nice to have some of my ideas challenged, but I can't handle responding to everyone's critiques. I know I don't have to, but I just can't help myself when I see them. For my own sake, I'll have to give this thread over to the rest of you. It was really fun and also really terrible while it lasted. Not that any of you are terrible; I'm just not built for public politics.  :P

I'll leave everyone with a couple of moving essays by Peter Kropotkin, the man many consider to be the one who solidified anarcho-communist thought. They're very old, so some of the examples and language may be outdated, but the messages are still relevant. You may also have to forgive Kropotkin's rough tone. I'll appreciate anyone who takes the time out of their day to listen to these.  :)

"Are We Good Enough?" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jytf-5St8WU)
 -- An exploration into if humans are good enough for communism.

"Our Riches" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgrpwwN8zM0)
 -- This one requires some soul searching. The main idea is that because we all owe so much of our well-being to each other and to our ancestors, the idea that anything can rightfully be called "yours" or "mine" is false. It's a hard concept to grapple with, but I hope everyone can go into it with an open mind and, more importantly, an open heart.  :)

Polls are closing in some eastern states.  Numbers are far too early to consider, but votes are being counted and we are starting to see some numbers.

It comes down to a few states.  Trump will really need Florida to have any chances.  He would also need North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or any smattering of those to achieve his victory goal.  The Republican path to victory is always much harder to achieve.

If polls are correct, Biden has a very easy path to victory not needing much to win, but it does come down to some of those battleground states above.  Democrats have a pretty consistent set of wins along the west coast and parts of the east coast always due to the cities.

Biden is currently leading the electoral vote at roughly 129 to Trump's 119.  I will say, the Democrat's wanted to have a much higher lead at this point and Biden's lead in most battleground states is evaporating, some Trump has flipped in his favor. 

It is still too early to call North Carolina, Florida, Ohio.  But Trump now leads votes in them, when not too long ago, Biden had significant leads.

Still waiting on votes from the ever important Pennsylvania which could heavily favor a win for someone.  Trump campaign has been to over 60 cities in the past week compared to Biden's 10.  Biden spent most of his time near his home in Delaware making small trips to Pennsylvania and Ohio occasionally.  We are seeing Democrat voters overwhelmingly voting for Trump in eastern Ohio, which is a shock to Dems.  A lot of effort was spent there by both campaigns to draw in voters.

We are also looking at the popular vote which Democrats called foul at in the past when Hilary won that, but lost the electoral vote in 2016.  Currently Trump is winning the popular vote very heavily, but over 20%.  But that could easily change as we wait on some west coast blue states.

I'm not surprised by the Virginia result, I live there, I was hoping it would flip red but I knew it wouldn't.

I'm hoping Trump can nail the remaining states and claim victory! I hope that after the election, win or lose, things don't go to hell. I've got to go to work, y'all have a good day, I guess I'll find out more when I get home from work.

It is looking very unlikely right now Trump will win re-election, at a shock to most people indeed.  He has currently lost the blue wall rustbelt states and may have lost Arizona.

At this point, the path to victory is just six points for Biden, which he will likely pick up from Nevada.

I am calling this a Biden win by tonight most likely.

The only way Pres. Trump can win as it stands is flip Nevada, win Pennsylvania, win North Carolina, and win Georgia.  The latest numbers show Georgia may flip and Pennsylvania may flip to blue. 


Clearly many will be surprised President Trump will be a one term president.  In terms of accomplishments, the Trump administration has had more than any President in recent history.  Whether it was economical, national, or local dealings, many great things were done for the American people in his four year term.  I think many are shocked and coming to the realization that he somehow did not win. 

Another thing we learned, there was no blue wave.  The Democrats didn't get the huge blue wave they expected, and in fact actually lost seats in the House.  If Biden wins, it will be by an extremely slim margin.  But it will show people bought into false narratives to a degree from the Democratic Party.  It may also be people didn't feel the Trump Administration handled the virus in the best way, but it's always easy to be a back seat quarterback...

We'll see what happens.

If you are a conservative and already feel you have to hide your views or Christian beliefs... now you're really gonna have to hide them here in the near future.  Christmas will become 'holiday' again as we see a shift towards politically correct everything again.

If you were excited about the economic gains in your 401k and stock market, expect that to evaporate.

Everything will be compartmentalized into groups, blacks, whites, gays, straights, Christians, Jews, etc.  No a united people, but different groups and that is all you will be seen as.  White men, it's gonna get worse for you.

It looks like Joe Biden is going to win it. 


I really thought Pres. Trump was going to win again.  I just couldn't imagine what people saw in Joe Biden.  I don't even know if he will make to his inauguration day because he seems so out of energy all the time.  No plans.  I just can't see him leading.

Will we go into lockdown again now with Biden and our economy collapse?  Who really knows right now.


I don't understand the states that flipped from Trump to Biden.  Under Trump, those people had the best years of their lives and saw record jobs come back... I just don't get it.

The answer is simple... people just hate Trump... well the urban areas of those states hate Trump.

They won't look at his accomplishments, they only look at what the media has to say about Trump. Russia. Collusion. He's against the LGBTQ community. He's racist... and Joe isn't? Let's completely ignore the, "If you don't vote for me, you're not black." quote... I know almost every person of color in my store/job voted for Biden. The virus is Trumps fault. Everything is Trumps fault.

I give up... the world wants this progressive, socialist utopia. I'm just going to deal with what I was dealt and move on with my day, and pray the tax increases don't destroy my paycheck or my parent's paycheck. I just want this year to be done and over with, if we go through another shutdown I'll probably lose my freaking mind! It'll also lead to a bunch of people filing for bankruptcy... more people will become homeless because they can't pay their bills... kiss those ma and pa stores goodbye.

I don't know how accurate the count was... because my state was marked blue before they even started counting. lol. Biden got it but it wasn't favoring him until the last 25% of votes were tallied.

edit: Sorry for my negativity, I just don't understand people. I don't understand people preaching tolerance while demanding people who support Trump to unfollow them, which I have been doing because I don't want to follow intolerant people. I'm going to bed now, I wish you all a goodnight.

I don't understand how this happened either.  I didn't think it was possible for Biden to win.  He was so lacking in every possible way.  Trump truly loves the country, you can tell.  Biden and that fake Kamala .... I mean... how would they be the ones people vote for?  2020 truly is a year of shocks, possibly the worst year in my lifetime.

I am also hearing in some news reports about several fake ballots "magically" being found.  Reportedly Wisconsin had discovered roughly 120,000 votes that happened to be majority Biden?  There is also real claims that are more founded in Pennsylvania where thousands upon thousands of ballots are being found in various areas.  4,000 for example were found in one batch happened to ALL be for Biden.  How is that even possible?

What I don't get is how Republican's defied what the media, newspapers, etc had been saying for months leading up the election.  They kept promoting falsely a 'BIG BLUE WAVE' and Biden would win huge.  That the Dems would pick up 15 new seats and control the House, Senate, and the White House.  The pollsters were saying massive wins for the Dems.

We didn't get that at all.  We got Republican's who won upwards of 10 or more extra seats reducing Democrat control.  We have at least two states that have now flipped power from Dems to Republican.  Democrats lost overwhelmingly throughout the country.



We got a close Presidential race which some may say is marred in corruption.  Now we are seeing ballot anomalies in several states where MORE votes are appearing than people who live in the counties.  We are seeing ballots that check "Biden" only and no other candidates.

The election is down to six states right now.  Those six states are majority Republican and all the House and Senate races in those states went Republican .  So how come these six states we are still waiting for... all supposedly voted for Biden? When the people clearly voted for Republican's in every other race?  Is something shady really going on and is it deep state or world power meddling?

Postal workers mislabeling the arrival of some mail in ballots so they can be counted instead of discarded. Some people claim that there mail in ballot had been stolen. etc. I don't know.

I don't know what to think... I don't think this election was handled well, I don't think mail in voting was the right call.

My personal opinion... is probably an unpopular opinion, but I think absentee voting should be reserved for people who cannot vote in person, reserved for people with medical conditions that prevent them from traveling or people who travel a lot because of their job. If you can go to work or go to the grocery store, you can go vote in person! I also think voter ID laws should stay in place and all states should have them... if you need an ID to drive a car, buy a car, buy a beer, buy a gun, etc... you should need one to vote, as proof of your identity.

In my state, where I live, I was sent two absentee ballots that I did not request... and one was partially filled out. What if one of those ballots got sent to the wrong address?

I understand the worries about a lack of reasonable VID leading to insecure elections, but Voter ID laws have historically been used to suppress and disenfranchise minority votes  (https://www.aclu.org/other/oppose-voter-id-legislation-fact-sheetl)(specifically: the poor, the elderly, the disabled, and racial/ethnic minorities) and instances of voter fraud are rare enough (31 cases in seventeen years, out of billions of ballots cast) to render heavy-handed laws requiring voter ID a moot point. The US already maintains an enormous database of voters (voter registration) and can cross-reference that with whose votes have or have not been counted. It is incredibly difficult, nigh impossible, to get a mail-in and an in-person ballot counted, or to fill out someone's ballot as someone else, and get away with it—there will be a clear conflict during tallying and you (and the third party who sabotaged your ballot, if applicable) will go to court in short order.

Interesting, since all of the examples you mentioned (drinking, driving a car, owning a gun) all have the potential to massively effect others (drunk driving/fighting, car accidents, shootings).  To be clear, I am fully in favor of requiring ID for all of those things, because it supports a minimum standard of accountability. Voting is supposed to be entirely anonymous, and what accountability is required for a fair election on the voting level is already handled by the voter registration and tallying system—additional hoops are unnecessary at best, disenfranchising at worst.

I feel like asking a person to present some form of ID as proof of residence isn't asking a lot. It doesn't make voting less anonymous. It's just another level of security, catching voter fraud before it actually happens. Being proactive instead of reactive.

My company does an anonymous survey every year, and trust me it's not anonymous. I have to log in using my username and password at work. The first set of questions on the survey are the following; department I work in, my age group, my gender, my ethnicity, basically things that would allow the people reading the survey know what I look like, roughly. Why are questions like that on an anonymous survey. The only thing that makes the survey "anonymous" is the third party company reading all of the answers and compiling all the common complaints and highlights.

even if you look at it from a cost-benefit angle Voter ID is genuinely not worth the expense considering how vanishingly rare genuine voter impersonation (the only type of fraud that a photo ID requirement law helps prevent) actually is. again, 31 cases in 17 years, and virtually all of those weren't even genuine malicious attempts, they were honest mistakes by voting parties that were corrected in court.

Quote
States incur sizeable costs when implementing voter ID laws, including the cost of educating the public, training poll workers, and providing IDs to voters  Texas spent nearly $2 million on voter education and outreach efforts following passage of its Voter ID law. Indiana spent over $10 million to produce free ID cards between 2007 and 2010.


Literal millions of dollars being spent to legislate, pass, train, and enforce laws to solve a problem that has, in seventeen years, affected a whopping 0.000000031% of all votes cast. That is eight zeroes after the decimal point, literally less than a thousandth of 1 percent. don't you think states have better, more worthwhile things spend those millions on? things that genuinely help their constituents, that improve their quality of life?

Sure... I'm just stating my opinion, what do I really know? I'm just stating an opinion based on my personal experience, my state already has a voter ID law, well they did. I think it's in the process of being removed. I'd rather keep it in place, personally.

I'm sorry I upset you, it's just my opinion. I upset people a lot with my opinions. I don't intend to cause chaos, I'm just stating what is on my mind, common sense statements. At least to me they are common sense statements.

Right now everybody is celebrating, things can get back to normal the orange man is gone... Like the orange man actually did anything to effect them personally, besides say something dumb on twitter. In my mind, things are not normal until I can go outside without a mask. I'm tired of hearing the doctor argument. Seriously.

edit: I'm also looking at it from the angle of, after hearing it for so long after the 2016 election, collusion with Russia. Making it sound like voter manipulation was a real problem... fast forward to the here and now. Pushing for mail in ballots that can be tampered with between the drop off location and the delivery location and the removal of voter ID laws that are already in place in some states.

you are more than welcome to state your opinion, just as i am more than happy to respectfully provide a rebuttal! c: that's the beauty of instant networked communication, we can go back and forth like this for eternity if we're so inclined

I, personally, am not celebrating things going back to "normal"—not if "normal" means continued systemic oppression of multiple minority groups, trillions of dollars funneled into protecting capitalist interests overseas, and a society where 40% of the population (that is, bolded for emphasis, over one hundred million people) cannot afford an unexpected expense of $400 or more.

Now keep in mind, that figure is not "hasn't saved enough to afford" or "has wasted too much money to afford"—the operative word here is cannot. Cannot afford, because wages for the working class—the average Joe! The salt of the earth! The backbone of America!—have stagnated so hideously over the course of the past few decades that many millions of people are now in a situation where working full-time is not enough to support themselves, let alone feel secure, healthy, or stable enough raise a family. This isn't a partisan issue—wage stagnation has happened under Democrats and Republicans both, they both hold the blame—it's a capitalist one.

so no, I'm not especially chuffed about Biden being in the white house. he wasn't my first, second, third, fourth, or tenth choice for president-elect, but I'm hoping that some good does come from his election.

like maybe the first steps towards electoral reform, stopping the rampant gerrymandering and real, actual, non-conspiracy theory voter suppression that's been ongoing for decades now, across both sides of the aisle.

or maybe something approaching a climate bill, something that at least attempts to address our incredibly irresponsible treatment of the planet, and the devastating effects it is already causing— not WILL cause, IS causing.

or maybe a real, coherent plan to deal with the deadly pandemic still currently ravaging the country—a pandemic that went almost entirely ignored by the previous administration except when it could be leveraged for personal enrichment, claiming over 230,000 American lives in the process—a pandemic that has affected me, and seen several people I know personally hospitalized or killed.

maybe! I am certainly holding onto some shred of hope, at least. Because that's the essence of harm reduction, isn't it? For now, for me, the mantra isn't "the future will be better"—it's "the future will be less bad, in a lot of small, but tangible ways".

not much to go on, maybe, but lucky for me, i've always been an optimist.

None of these politicians have a real plan to deal with this pandemic. Shutting down the country will cause an economic collapse. All those small business will be gone, the only thing left standing will be the large corporations.

Yes, sure we can be greener to save the planet but that's not stopping China and other countries from killing it. Because that's where all of our goods are being made. Computers, laptops, cell phones, iphones, etc. Because that's where all of our manufacturing jobs have gone, now they just pump out more pollution in our place. Everything I pick up inside of most stores, will have that beautiful made in china stamp on the back.

economic collapse? You mean damage to the stock market that I'm fairly certain neither of us have investments in, the same stock market that received literal trillions of dollars in bailout money while the rest of us got $1200? Or do you mean damage to the massive corporations that have enjoyed tax breaks, 'too big to fail' bailouts, and millions upon millions of dollars in stimulus intended for family-owned small businesses?

or, do you mean a lack of liquidity from the average consumer, thus leading to decreased cash flow into the economy—you know, something that the Democratic party has attempted to address with a second stimulus package repeatedly, only to be obstructed by the current Senate majority, for no other reason than because it's from the "bad guys"? The government has the means and ability to ensure that the 'normal people' in this crisis are secure, stable, and cared for during a second panedmic lockdown—the only thing that's missing is the will. Save me the theatrics about running up the national deficit, also—it's already increased over 36% (https://www.thebalance.com/trump-plans-to-reduce-national-debt-4114401) (that's 8 trillion dollars) since Trump took office, and what have we heard from those notoriously debt-hawk Republicans on his cabinet, like Lindsey Graham and co? not a peep.

obviously, the ideal situation is that the first lockdown was actually respected and followed nationwide, that there wasn't a barrage of misinformation, mishandling, and mistrust surrounding the public health aspect of this crisis, but that ship has well and truly sailed (thanks, Trump admin!). at the end of the day, though? lives—real human lives—are my priority. not the stock market. not land. not property.

I have lived through one recession and would happily live through another, if it meant my friend's father had been able to get life-saving surgery he was denied because of complications from COVID-19. I would happily live through another if it meant my roommate hadn't contracted it, been forced to work while sick because they had literally no other means of support and needed to eat and pay rent, inadvertently infecting not just me, but who knows how many others at their retail job. I would happily live through another if it meant I didn't have to deal with the dread of having had it, of having potential permanent lung, vascular, or neural damage because the great grinding machine of THE ECONOMY cannot be stopped.

but i can't change any of those things, so all i can hope for is a more reasoned, well-intentioned plan this time, one that goes beyond 'ignore the science, don't listen to the doctors, don't look as I sell mask stockpiles to third party shell companies to enrich my cabinet members'—a plan that might cost a lot of money, but hopefully won't cost another 200 thousand American lives.

Funny you mention China specifically, since they currently lead the world in investment in renewable energy (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S221146451630152X), and have concrete, aggressive, and actionable carbon-neutrality targets (https://www.ft.com/content/93a15a83-08e8-4293-a12d-e4235edec7ea) to be met by 2060. they have the benefit of rapid, planned industrialization and have taken notes from other post-industrial economies to make the transition substantially more smoothly than the US.

China's lead in investment in renewable energy means diddly squat because they aren't seeing pollution numbers decrease (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/07/pollution-co2-economy-china/) and they continue to pollute at a level no one else does.  As does India and many other developing nations.  China dumps more yearly into our oceans (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-pollution-oceans-idUSKBN1X80FL) than anyone with have many laxed laws, or people simply don't follow them.  China emits more pollution than the US and all the EU (https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2018/07/01/china-emits-more-carbon-dioxide-than-the-u-s-and-eu-combined/?sh=d6d9dd8628c2) combined.

Here is an interesting article (https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-11/ioap-uap110520.php) on China's air pollution to feed some minds.

But I don't want to argue with people.  I come here to see news, not debate.  This is the "news" topic after all.

China's peak emissions target is 2030—emissions are still expected to increase until then. This is consistent with peak emissions targets for many other industrialized nations. China is currently expected to achieve both its 2020 and 2030 emissions goals. (https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/china/) the US cannot say the same. to be clear, i think ocean dumping, rapid industrialization, and the huge reliance on carbon-based fuel in general are all huge problems for china, and certainly not ones i will excuse them for. but to make it sound like they have zero concern for the climate and the planet is disingenuous and outright wrong.

see you!

a final note: i certainly wouldn't call all of the concrete, empirically-verifiable studies, statistics, and other data i've been providing 'opinions'—all of them appear to fit the definition of objective facts. in fact, i would argue that an inability to differentiate between objective truths and subjective opinions is a large part of why our country is currently mired in the mess it is.

this is not intended as an attack on you or anyone else, just some food for thought—you are, after all, fully entitled to your opinion, and everyone (you included!) is additionally entitled to knowledge of facts that may objectively contradict that opinion. how one changes (or refuses to change) their opinion after being presented with factual evidence to the contrary is, of course, entirely up to them—it is human nature to be very averse to having our beliefs challenged, which makes it all the more impressive when someone is willing to consider the possibility that their sacrosanct 'opinions' might be wrong.

that being said, i have neither the means nor the will to force anyone to accept or consider anything. the best i can do is engage in good-faith questioning and hope, and that is what i have done and will continue to do.

anyway, all the best, enjoy the news cycle

I'm pretty sick of people always debating in here.  Never used to be an issue.  For some reason people feel they have to present something as if they are correct all the time, when they aren't. Many people can be correct, just as many can be incorrect.  Lots of gray.  I had to step away from this thread as well because of people constantly feeling they have to rebuttal.

certainly not ones i will excuse them for.

It's nice when you hold them to a higher standard.  They certainly will listen. ;)

China is currently expected to achieve both its 2020 and 2030 emissions goals. the US cannot say the same.

Because the US has different standards and goals than China.  The US has seen emission and pollution decreases (https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/usa/) across the board and led the century with new pollution goals that the world has embraced.  And you are flat out wrong.  US can say the same.  We are meeting federal pollution decrease goals (https://theconversation.com/climate-explained-which-countries-are-likely-to-meet-their-paris-agreement-targets-128855) as well as several states meeting goals that exceed the federal goals.  At least 23 states (https://www.c2es.org/document/greenhouse-gas-emissions-targets/) have tougher standards and all seem to be on track of meeting their goals.  As well, the US is roughly on target (https://insideclimatenews.org/news/07012020/infographic-united-states-emissions-2019-climate-change-greenhouse-gas-coal-transportation) with international goals it helped implement.  Most other country's are not meeting those goals that are part of the Paris Climate Accord.

You had also mentioned that China is the biggest investor in renewable energy.  That is true and good, but they are also still the largest user of coal and smog producing energy plants. (https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/china/)

Here is also (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-polluted-countries) a particulate map showing the most polluted countries. The US and Canada have less PM2.5 than most all of Europe and other developed nations.  Not to mention you can see the pollution emitted by others such as China, India, even Mexico.

these are all very fair points, thank you for correcting me! I wasn't aware the disparity in particulate PPM was still that great between the US and China, but that's fairly troubling, for sure. I guess the data on renewables gave me a rosier view of their 5-Year-Plan initiative than is actually reflected in the data, which was my mistake.

That being said, I still think long-term aggressive investiture in renewables is the way to go, as is a carbon tax and stricter emissions regulations—and I also still think the original excuse of "oh, well other countries are doing worse so we shouldn't try at all" is very silly. Climate action isn't a zero sum game, after all—as one of the world's premiere economic powers, I think the best thing we can do is lead by progressive, enthusiastic example, and show other countries they need to follow suit. after all, even the source you linked lists our own consumption and emissions output as "Critically Insufficient" for climate targets, as opposed to China's "Highly Insufficient"

The ballot mess is horrible.  Considering how much corruption has been found, and how few judges want to hear these cases is ridiculous.

I know corruption has been going on since the beginning of voting, but we live in an age where if we find it, we should STOP it.  Dems were crying foul and telling people to worry about false votes.  Then when the false votes and corruption is being dug up, they want nothing to do with it and say the election was legit.

Same with the vaccine.  The Dems were saying don't trust a vaccine that comes from the Trump Admin (even though its medical companies making it), but now the Dems are shocked when they do polls and realize large percentages of the population don't want to take the vaccine.  Some of the very people they scared away. 

Democrats are so hypocritical.  :(

Keep finding that corruption Republican's, since you're the only one who cared from the very beginning and warned of this situation and actually meant it.

I don't care about who won... I just want to know if it is legitimate win, that's it. I just want transparency.

Regardless of the outcome I am still proud to be an American... unlike a lot of people I know in the furry community, people who were proud while Obama was in office and ashamed when Trump was put in office, now they're proud again because the racist is out... while completely ignoring the fact that Biden is racist. I guess they'll go back to being ashamed when the next candidate that they don't like is possibly elected.

President-Elect Joe Biden also gave a Christmas speech, but it had a much more negative tone.  He said things 2021 will be "much worse as the darkest days are ahead," in terms of the virus and he said things will get "much worse before they get better."

Yes... just what I need to hear, more negativity.

A vaccine has been made for the horrible pandemic, but things will get tougher... I like how they cut away from the speech to fill in the blank spaces, to create more fear and uncertainty. Yes, things will get worse if you continue to lockdown our country... these partial lockdowns are effecting me and my family. My mother needs back surgery, but because of our governor and his new guidelines she cannot receive her surgery, now she is stuck dealing with the pain. She's seen two doctors and both have said the same thing... if she doesn't have this surgery she could lose the use of her legs, and the longer she has to wait the more likely it will happen. Here's the kicker, she has met her deductible for the year due to the problems she had with her pancreas/pancreatitis, but with this delay she will have to pay it in full again. All of this bullshit has left me feeling rather angry and depressed. (I'm sorry for the off topic rant and the swearing, I'm just not having a very Merry Christmas this year.)

Here's a dumb question to the media outlets, why couldn't we just here it straight from the horse's mouth? Why do we need to keep cutting away from his speech to add more context to his speech?

It's fine... I'm just frustrated with all of this mess, and what they consider elective surgery. Abortion is not considered an elective surgery but my mother's back surgery is an elective surgery. Having a baby isn't going to kill you... But whatever. It's for the well being of the patient... but my mother's well being means nothing. She gets to deal with the pain for who knows how long, months most likely. Praying that she doesn't sever a nerve and lose her legs.

My aunt told me that a customer told her that her grandmother broke her neck, and her surgery got postponed. So an elderly woman has to live with a broken neck for months because it's an elective surgery. Because most people would choose to live with a broken neck or a broken back.

So yeah... I feel like I have a right to be angry, but I'm sure some people would disagree. I guess we have to make the best of it. I'm trying to have as Merry of a Christmas as I can with my family.

It is difficult times for sure and it is amazing to me how so few do anything as they watch their country be taken away or let China get away with the virus...

But as of now, the Trump Administrations, "Operation Warp Speed" was a huge success.  The media and pundit, as well as the "expert doctors" all said it would be impossible to have a vaccine ready by the end of the year.  Well it happened and it is being distributed throughout the country (and world) thanks to the Trump Adminstration's coordinated efforts, and no thanks to political squabbling and the media.  The lockdowns are only hurting the small businesses and millions of workers.  The economy was growing fast again, until the Gov's of California and New York shut everything down again.  They are purposely putting politics before country.  So you, I, and everyone else, has every right to be angry at the politics involved @megacycle .

Thoughts and prayers.

Oh the riot at DC was uncalled for for sure.  Never should have happened.  But we've gone over a year with leftists rioting and the media only calling it "peaceful protests." So really, it is what it is.  Republican's won't use the tactics leftists use in their protests/CHAZ zones.  Republicans do their thing and leave.  Dems don't.  They stay, then will occupy.

There will be some radical changes in the years to come.  But hopefully if it is "business as usual" a lot of nothing will happen for four years.  But "something" needs to be done about China and North Korea.  Those are not going away anytime soon.  Even if the Korea's unite, China will not want them to adopt a pro-American agenda like S. Korea.  We also got the whole China Sea thing going on and so much more.  We really need a strong leader these next couple decades, and it's hard to see it with President-Elect Biden and VP-Elect Harris.  Many worry it will be a Democrat Party presidency more than a Biden one, and that is where the majority of the fear is coming from.

I agree, we do need a strong leader, and I don't think Biden or Harris is the right guy or gal for the job

I don't agree with the riot that happened, but protesting is perfectly fine... I just don't like the double standards... it's okay to protest for this but not for that and how the mainstream will call a riot a peaceful protest if it is a message that they can get behind, or a message that their company or political party can get behind. The results of this election are as phony as a three dollar bill.

     Not exactly inspirational, now,  is it? ...And his motto? "America is coming back like we used to be". That's not a political slogan; it's what your old Pee-Paw says when he waxes reminiscent about how much better things were fifty years ago, when he walked to school twenty miles barefoot in the snow and there weren't any goddamn mp3s or smartphones or polio vaccine, and neatly glosses over the little things like war, and political corruption, and siccing dogs and fire-hoses on those pesky minorities looking for civil rights and integration in the schools there.
     Hell, it's what I say when I start to feels nostalgic for the nineties, at least 'til someone reminds me that they pretty much sucked, too, and a good lot of the things I remember fondly weren't even real to begin with, so then I feel even more depressed.

Well feminists will have something to fight for, with them allowing transgendered individuals to participate in women's sports.

Also loving the increase on gas prices and the cut jobs. This will surely bolster the middle class and not put more money into the pockets of billionaires and their monopolies. lol

Funny how all the “Biden supporters” out there are just silent now.  Remember, this guy supposedly got more votes than Obama did... he filled school auditoriums with 12 people in them.

2pm yesterday marked Biden's 74th hour in office.

Here's where we're at:

- On Saturday 8 Chinese bombers, 4 fighters, and 1 sub-hunter just breached Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone, crossing the Taiwan Strait. That was followed by 12 fighters and two anti-sub aircraft and a reconnaissance plane on Sunday.

- A loss of 52,100 jobs in oil.

- Ended energy independence for the United States.

- Canada suing Biden for canceling Keystone XL Pipeline project.

- Antifa (just an idea right), continue to riot and burn down Portland and Seattle.

- Sent our troops that were in DC to sleep on the floor of a parking garage, in freezing temps, with cars parked there 🙄 and two bathrooms. But the WH made them cookies 💆🏽‍♀️

- Created a new glass ceiling for girls to hurdle, ruining so many chances for scholarships with his "progressive" transgender programs allowing boys to compete against girls. Women athletes are furious.

- Created a new federal property mask mandate, which he broke countless times already.

- Is now allowing illegal immigrants to be counted for representation in congress.

- A complete halt on student loan forgiveness that he promised.

- A complete halt on the $2000 stimulus program he promised.

- He shot down a Trump admin order to lower the cost of insulin.

- He shot down a Trump admin order to lower the cost of epinephrine.

- Rescinds Trump order banning Chinese Communist involvement in US power grid

- $1.6 billion in gross wages lost.

Everything he's done in 3 days has benefited other countries and hurt Americans and American allies.

But HEY, at least he hasn't tweeted mean words! j/k   

In other words, you have many reasons to be negative towards what has happened.  The constant attacks by the Democratic Party the past four years, their constant lies, and more.  All I can say is... stay strong America... @megacycle

@RainySunshine Thank you for your response.

I guess my negativity is justified, at least in my mind. I know enough people who would disagree with that... I'm just tired of the double standards. I'm tired of social media and mainstream media. I'm tired of most furry art sites. Almost every artist I know is celebrating this, as if it's a real victory. Not paying attention to what the man is actually doing, like the mainstream media, they ignore it because it's not the orange man in office. Now we get to watch them waste more time and money impeaching Trump again, after he peacefully left office. Something the mainstream media swore he wouldn't do... That it would take the military to drag his ass out. I wouldn't mind de-funding some of the low level and high level politicians and some of these journalists from the mainstream media. lol.

While US politics isn't my best subject, I know it's important for the world.  So in the rare moment I comment on politics, I understand the implications of what happens in the US will affect the world to some level.

I really hope the infighting can end and the unity can begin.  You are still after all the world's leader and other country's do look up to you (despite how they act towards you and joke about you).  America is special and different and if you don't succeed, we don't either.  Biden's word's of unity are nice, but it means nothing if him and his political party don't follow up on the words with action.  Like him or not, Trump followed through with action and was constantly attacked by the opposing party... but he still got so much done.  Economically the world was better and the world's tensions and safety increased.  There was no large scale wars.  For that I am thankful.

after he peacefully left office. Something the mainstream media swore he wouldn't do...

They also said if he lost the 2016 election that he wouldn't accept defeat peacefully... yet here we are four years later and Mrs. Hillary Clinton is still constantly not accepting the loss through interviews and still bitter about it... as was the whole Democratic Party.

My best advice for you is if those "sites" keep disliking your beliefs, just forget about em'.  I know they have good stuff, but why support people who wouldn't support you back?  They'd take your money in an instant, but your beliefs?  Naw, they will call you every name in the sun and "cancel" you. There are other places you can go for good company.

I would love to; but none of the alternative sites have a large pool of artists to commission. Granted any artist praising one side while calling anybody on the other side evil, will lose me as a follower. I'm not going to give money to an artist that wants me six feet under, because I am an evil fascist or insurrectionist. Funny that they use that word to describe me or other conservative/Republicans while sporting an ACAB hashtag on their profile, isn't that a form of insurrection?

I do appreciate your kind words @RainySunshine , this is why I love this site so much. I don't feel the hate, in fact things here feel pretty balanced and open.

We already knew that the guy she's "friends with benefits" funded her whole campaign for Senate and that she's little more than a mindless shill in the deep pocket of questionable special-interest groups with a pinko agenda.  She's proudly admitted she's a clueless, imbecilic moron who can't even operate a simple garbage disposal (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/aoc-scared-garbage-disposal/).  In addition to showing last week (https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.6_oYHSyPWNBtSsCVsuRt9gHaE8&pid=Api&P=0&w=247&h=166) what an emotionally immature (https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.Q1E3bnAsULQdnHd-YS6laQAAAA&pid=Api&P=0&w=300&h=300) little crybaby she is (https://tse1.explicit.bing.net/th?id=OIP.Ze4aAuCsOeWcfPVWcUwSiQHaFh&pid=Api&P=0&w=261&h=195), she now shows us she's a paranoid lunatic.

Title: Diamond in the rough
Post by: NostradamusTheSeer on 2021-02-01 12:42:34
In entertainment news, Dustin "Screech" Diamond has died (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/dustin-diamond-saved-bells-screech-185846032.html).  The ex-Saved By the Bell star had suffered career ups-and-downs for years after SBTB, including a foray into adult films and a stint as a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother.

Diamond had a well-publicized falling-out with his former co-stars after scathing and insulting claims surfaced in his 2009 tell-all, Behind the Bell.  He also made claims of sexual abuse from a lady network exec twice his age behind the scenes of Saved By the Bell . Understandably, he was not invited back for the Peacock's much-hyped SBTB reboot.

He also faced numerous financial and legal troubles, filing bankruptcy in 2001 and being arrested for allegedly stabbing a man in a bar fight in 2014. He was again charged with possession of a concealed weapon the following year, and served time for a parole violation in 2016.  In an appearance on Howard Stern's TV show, Diamond asked for people to donate cash so he might recoup his losses and buy back his house, then bragged about the size of his wiener.

In the last few weeks of his life the actor had been undergoing treatment for lung cancer.

He was 44.

Democrats and the Biden Admin Got Their $1.9T virus relief bill Passed Through Congress.  It's Officially Passed Now (https://komonews.com/news/coronavirus/house-set-to-vote-on-virus-relief-biden-on-cusp-of-triumph-03-10-2021-113401352).

It is being heavily criticized saying it will lead to inflation in the US, and the fact that Dems are sending $300 million of that money to Democrat run cities to pay off bills and deficits.  Less than 9% of the 1.9 Trillion dollar bill is actually funding Covid-19 relief.  The rest is for Democrat pet projects, arts and humanities projects, paying those who bankroll their party, and "offshore funds" whatever that shady business means. 

All the Republicans in the House and Senate voted against the bill.  One Democrat voted against it.  Otherwise every Democrat voted this bill to pass.  They Dems also made sure there wasn't a reading period or study period of the bill.  They forced it through fast so no one had time to read it and object.

National debt is soaring toward a stratospheric $22 trillion, and in the first 100 days of Biden in the White House, the Democrats are quickly moving towards the biggest spenders in US history.   This bill is 1/10th of the US economy... and it's all going to be paid for by future generations...

I'm worried about it too... Honestly, it's all petty and stupid. Politicians need to pull their heads out of their asses and work together, no more hypocrisy and no more double standards, just talk to each other like mature adults and not like children having a flame war on twitter. Take a firm stance on the actual issues instead of fabricating more to keep yourself in power. What good is that power if we get taken over by China or Russia? lol

I am real worried about China making moves on Taiwan.  I worry how the international community would probably do nothing... just sanctions and stern words.  China will see they can get away with it and will get away with other things.

On the other hand, if the world did respond... I mean... that would be world war.  It would be awful.  No one wants that. 

China's policy is to fundamentally "take over the world."  They do want believe they rightfully belong at the top according to their Party Doctrine.  It isn't the world domination as seen in movies or books, or even how the Nazi party tried.  It is done in more sneaky ways, money, buying land, companies, controlling assets.  Eventually, they can control the thought process of companies and groups with enough control and fundamentally take over from within.  The narrative that capitalism is evil, to be unpatriotic to your country and ashamed of it... deep seeded lies being sown and growing in fervor.  The political left is especially buying into these beliefs, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-religion, let the state control your life...  The government knows what's best for you.... the state.... the party knows what's best for you...

A lot of bad is right.

The Biden Admin has done nothing about the border crisis at the southern border with children being separated from their parents, reintroducing cages.  They have signed more executive orders in their first three months than any president ever meaning no bi-partisan workings being done.  Stopped border wall construction, pipeline hack and no retaliation to it, gas prices going up, the largest tax hikes in US history is coming.  Weak leadership on the world stage, signing into law the most radical programs ever in US history, expanding socialism and the feds power.  Highest crime rates since the 70s under Biden, defunding police.  Just the other day the Biden Admin decided to pay Hamas the terrorist organization for some reason, the next day Hamas sent missiles into Israel and now we are having issues again in that region with no effort by the US to stop it.  North Korea is testing Biden. He did nothing.  China is testing Biden in the South China Sea and with Taiwan and we are doing nothing.  Interest rates and unemployment is on the rise. Workers are making more money just staying home thanks for government handouts making the public rely on the government... Slowest job growth current since the Obama Administration and a dismal recent jobs growth report of barely 260,000 jobs created when the Fed expected nearly a million new jobs.  Not to mention their further dividing of the US, building up racial barriers and promoting more civil unrest.  They really like the short term gain from the "woke" movement.

This is just some of it, but the Biden-Kamala Administration is quickly bringing down this country.  The amount of poor decisions and lack of leadership is astounding here in just their first few months.  The world can see this, and bad actors will start taking advantage of it even more.  Russia is eyeing Ukraine.  China is eyeing Taiwan.  There is so much at stake here and we truly have one of thew weakest presidents EVER leading during a time we need strength.

This guy isn't leading the country.  He can't even answer simple questions.... This is so worrisome.

Who is actually leading the country?  :(


This is from this past weekend. 

Not to mention our taxes going up, fuel prices going up, inflation, radicals taking over cities and rioting, border is broken, defunding police, increasing crime to it's highest levels in US history, enemies around the world are emboldened, it's going to heck in a hand basket so fast. 

Even our allies are realizing how bad these two in the White House are...

Title: Re: US News & Politics
Post by: Wolfwood on 2021-07-17 20:03:39
I know our updaters gave up because all the bad news and horrible things happening under this country's Democratic leadership.

So I will share this new thing.... how the Democratic Party is working with social media outlets (https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-psaki-doubles-down-on-bidens-plan-to-monitor-and-censor-americans?utm_campaign=64466) to limit what is said.  They claim it is to stop "misinformation (https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2020/09/28/democrats-facebook-get-serious-misinformation-hate/3566016001/)" but who is deciding what is misinformation?  Well, it's the Dem Party and based on their beliefs.  Conservative values are now deemed FALSE.  They are working with Twitter, Facebook, Google, and others to block and remove information they deem "misinformation."  They are promoting topics they want to be seen.

It's taking away our freedoms.  And they have also said they are looking into working with SMS providers (https://www.sgtreport.com/2021/07/democrats-plan-to-monitor-your-private-phone-messages-and-correct-vaccine-misinformation-sent-to-family-and-friends/) (text messaging providers) to monitor what people say and "fact check" peoples personal texts.  The same with emails.

What you are all seeing is the TAKEOVER of our freedoms by the Democrat Party and leftists in this country. 

They stand by idly as Cuba is on the brink of revolution (https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-protestors-flock-to-biden-white-house-to-demand-freedom-for-the-cuban-people?utm_campaign=64469) and praise the dictator Fidel Castro.  They denounce the people waving American Flags and wanting Democrcacy and freedom.  That is right.  A political party group in the US WANTS the US to fail.  They would prefer to have our country faulter for the gain of their political ideology and party.  It's sickening.  There are no safe places to post anymore.

It is an Orwellian nightmare that is just getting started.  Big brother...

There is so much bad going on right now.  That isn't even mentioning how the Democrats OPENED the US border.  2021 On Pace to Be the Worst Year for Illegal Immigration in U.S. History (https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/16/border-apprehensions-pass-1-million-on-track-to-set-new-record-while-democrats-plan-amnesty/)...

The Secretary of State in Georgia is just now realizing that they had over 10,000 illegal (https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/16/georgia-secretary-of-state-explains-why-hes-just-now-discovering-more-than-10000-illegal-votes-cast-in-2020/) 2020 election votes to Joe Biden counted as legit....  Oh because that wasn't planned from the beginning...

We are having continued hacking problems to companies and people's information from foreign bad actors and what is the Biden Admin doing?  Nothing at the surface...

The Navy came out with a new report saying they are sick of the new "woke agenda" and how they are unprepared for military confrontation (https://rumble.com/vjsjqx-report-us-navy-unprepared-for-military-confrontation-because-of-too-much-di.html?mref=22lbp&mc=56yab) because of the leftist agenda being forced on them.

It's bad.  Real bad.  I could write pages of what is happening, but this is just some of it.  Imagine how badly things have turned in just a few short months since Donald Trump left office. To think the Democrats could truly bring down the country so much in such a short amount of time.

Does anyone really like the "woke" agenda?  Is anybody really happy with this lean, mean 'n' green political climate?  I mean, if you were to really sit down and talk with college students and tell them everything the left has cost them, about the jobs that won't be there when the graduate because of stringent covid restrictions, about all their favorite celebrities they won't be seeing anymore because of MeToo and B.(L).M. cancel culture, they would reject this thinking roundly.  It's not unlike the authorities refusing to allow the disenfranchised ex-pat Cubans who have lived under true communist rule for generations to come in and hip Junior to what a socialist "Utopia" led by Ay-Oh-Cee and her pinko cheerleader goon squad really would be like.  We Republicans need to take a page from the Dem-wit playbook and start grooming our own candidate for 2024.  Essentially, he'd be our version of Obama or Ay-Oh-Cee: armed with a committee-assembled, focus-grouped, carefully put-together and appealing blue-collar backstory that hits all the right buttons, espousing Trump's plans and philosophies to save this nation... a nice, empty suit topped off with perfectly-coiffed hair who knows how to read a teleprompter and not ask a lot of questions.... in essence, a Manchurian puppet candidate that we'd be in control of.  He'd be glib and poised and strong and smile bright and say everything right, but those smart thoughts would be coming from a face young, strong and handsome enough so that every time he comes on their TV to make a speech a few more Peoria hausfraus and Kansas farmwives start to feel a tad wet in the knickers. We must do what the enemy does, but do it better, cheaper, and far more sustainable.  In short, the stakes are high, and we need to fight [bleep]in' dirty.

personally cannot wait for the US to be further humiliated on the world stage as it's revealed how hilariously cruel and incompetent an example of a failed state it actually is. super pumped tbh

 >:(  That is horrible.

I never wish ill-will towards others.  Even for people I didn't vote for, I don't want them to fail.

Even other nations who might be bad actors, I will no ill-will on the people themselves.

entirely unsure how you managed to derive "i hope the people of the United States suffer and wish them ill" from what i actually said, which is "i hope this state (as in nation, as in country, as in power structure) continues to be publicly ridiculed and held accountable for its myriad of crimes and failures of basic human rights".

i dont need to have any ill will towards citizens in the US lmao our leadership and plutocrats already have several lifetimes' worth as it is

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) resigns after mounting sexual harassment allegations and  investigations

ABC (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ny-gov-andrew-cuomo-resigns-after-sexual-harassment-allegations-investigation/ar-AAN9TSS?ocid=uxbndlbing)

NBC (https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/cuomo-lawyer-to-hold-briefing-as-pressure-to-resign-over-sex-scandal-intensifies/3213070/)

The leftwing media tried so hard not to report all the corruption and sexual harassment charges against this guy.  We are up to 11 now with 7 ongoing investigations.  Not to mention the retirement home deaths which results in over 10,000 elderly dying due to his decisions.

He resigned gracefully enough, and that is surprising... but, as he calmly says he will officially be stepping down in two weeks and let his second officially take over, you can't help but note the apres me, le deluge tone inherent in his voice.  Cuomo is an incurable, unrepentant egoist.  Will he wait 'til the heat dies down and then try to run for office again? More importantly, will the city of New York even have him back?

And now the half-senile, flatulent old bastard has pretty much turned Afghanistan over to the Taliban-- a bare month from the 20th anniversary of 9-11, no less.    >:(

And Congress has virtually handed Ay-Oh-Cee and her goon squad a blank check to pursue their socialist agenda. There's more rotten Green pork in this bill than I see in the dumpster behind Hays on Tuesday morning. I'd say kids today wouldn't know Karl Marx from Groucho Marx, but the little turds probably don't even know who he was either. No sense at all of historical perspective.

It's so bad, even CNN admits it.  And they love the guy.

Biden's botched Afghanistan exit is a disaster at home and abroad (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/bidens-botched-afghanistan-exit-is-a-disaster-at-home-and-abroad-long-in-the-making/ar-AANmpZD?ocid=uxbndlbing)

The Afghan government has already fled the country and not even 24hrs after our troops leave, the capital city of Kabul has fallen and taken over the government. 

Taliban sweep into Afghan capital after government collapses (https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-taliban-kabul-bagram-e1ed33fe0c665ee67ba132c51b8e32a5)

How come Biden didn't do this in the winter when the Taliban would be stuck in the snow?  Don't do it during fighting season.  This is a disaster and a slap in the face to the soldiers and people who lost their lives.  Worse, Biden is leaving behind a bunch of our military equipment.  Why leave that for the enemy?

Taliban frees thousands of prisoners from former US base (https://www.foxnews.com/world/terror-on-the-rise-taliban-frees-thousands-of-prisoners-from-former-u-s-base)...

The poor people in Afghanistan as well, they will have to deal with more civil war.

Post by: Grapefoot on 2021-08-16 17:19:49
What is happening in Afghanistan is a disaster.  You know it's bad when the leftwing media who protects him even finally has to confess.  They've done so much to get this man and this band of failures elected.  They truly have no idea how to handle real issues in this country and abroad.  This affects not only the US but the world.  Instead the Democratic Party wants to fundamentally change the US and destroy what made it prosperous from the inside. They've been working on it for decades and we are now seeing it happen in full force with no one to oppose them.  I hope American's realize what they voted for and realize how they were fooled.  It's really sad to see this happen.

Here are some front pages from major news organizations... From what I can see, only MSNBC is trying to spin this in a positive direction for the Democrats.  Everyone else realizes the gravity of this situation.

It was 20 years ago today the events of 9/11 happened.  We will never forget the lives taken by senseless terrorists.  The police, firefighters, and medics who ran into the unknown to save lives.  The good samaritans who did the same.  Remember how united the nation became.  American's side by side with one another, helping one another, and united against an enemy. Lest we never forget or we are doomed for failure.  God bless.

Growing up a continent and an ocean away from New York, I remember when this appeared on our news.  It was a feeling of complete shock, because we just witnessed the super power of the world get attacked.  I feel the world was naive to how terrorism acts could be done.  No one in the western world thought of using an airplane for such a sinister act.  Our country and our people were in complete solidarity to our American allies and friends.  Seeing the videos continue to come in, and seeing the heroes who ran into the smoke clouds.  It was social shocking.  Seeing the people who survived come out, completely white and covered in dust and debris.  It was so shocking and sad.  I remember going to school and kids in our class were pretty silent for a few days.  Many didn't understand it all and we had teachers who tried to say things like a great evil attacked the US.  We as a people became quite united from this event and it opened our eyes. 

You have my solidarity still and my support.  America has done so much good for the world and to have a super power who promotes freedoms and democracy, as well as provides safety and wellbeing for so many is often overlooked by so many who take it for granted.  They don't realize how different it could be if a certain power takes over with their communist, totalitarian ways.

I will never forget 9/11 and I hope American's and the rest of the world never forget it either.

America's society really can be split in a before 9/11 and after time.  It was that huge of an event.

Interesting fact.  Freedom One World Trade Center, which replaced the two original towers, stands at exactly 1776 feet tall.  That of course is for our nation's signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

 Things have changed phenomenally even since 2011, much less 2001.  We elected a black President (sure, the wrong one, but, still...).  America became post-modern, post-racial, post#Me Too, post-Covid, Postmates.
We've seen countless celebrity births, adoptions, deaths, divorces, falls from grace, and surprise comebacks; we've watched endless reboots, revivals, sequels, prequels, Tiger this'es and Cutie that'ses, a few gems, and megatons of outright bombs from Hollywood (or at least, its cheaper Northern cousin Ottowa.) They gave Andy Richter two shows on Fox, for Chris'sakes.   ::)  A President died (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_George_H._W._Bush), a Pope resigned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resignation_of_Pope_Benedict_XVI), and I've had to retire both my folders of Michael Jackson and Ross Perot jokes. We legalized gay marriage in all states, pot in 19--plus a couple of U.S territories and a few Indian tribal nation--and I think a brother can even legally marry his sister in New Jersey.  ;D   Since I've drawn that issue, a lot has happened for me personally: I published several books, I became an uncle four or five times over, I've grown markedly grey, I've moved to a new city and into a new place, I've buried a few good friends (https://sta.sh/012kqkdcjw47), and if I had a regret, I'd say it's that I never did try that fifth place on Fish Street (https://www.deviantart.com/haggismccrablice/art/The-Fish-Shack-862835837)--er--I mean, that fish place on 5th Street (https://www.facebook.com/FSWShack/photos/pb.105718554292985.-2207520000../117989233065917).  And, of course, I found this forum, and scores of new friends. So all in all, not doing too bad.    ^b-

It was a harrowing event but I like to think the nation grew better because of it.  Now we have people growing up who weren't alive during those events and have no idea what it is besides it being a section in their history book.  They have no emotional impact from it and with how US schools are teaching anti-Americanism, we can forget any form of patriotism in the future.  The left got what it has wanted sadly.  They control the media, the educational system, and so much more.  It's all their narrative.

Today a bunch of frauds made up false narratives and claimed what happened on January 6th was an "insurrection."  As we know now, there was nothing of the sort happening and some are starting to find out it may have been provoked by our own government, the wing who hated everything Pres Trump at the time stood for.  You know... the Deep State, the swamp, the part of the government who wants to lower the standing of the US to be equal with others and change our society as a whole from it's core beliefs.  You can watch it below.  It is Democrats faking tears and fear below.  It's really quite sickening.


Also President Biden, the do nothing president, attacked the Republicans and right even though he claims to be "uniting the country."  What a sad state of affairs this country is in.

Article (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jan/6/biden-takes-direct-aim-trump-speech-marking-jan-6-/)

All this is happening with the backdrop of international tensions escalating, the virus infecting more people than ever before, prices and inflation skyrocketing, and supplies not being delivered to stores.  It seems a lot like the struggles of the USSR.

Hands down, Biden and the Democrats are going down as the worst administration in American history.  I've called it right here.

While throwing Biden under the bus is a bit too early....

It's not.  He's brought this country down SO fast.  The same time last year under COVID, we had less people with the disease and less people dying from it than there are right now.  More people have COVID in 2022 at this moment than they did in 2021. 

He botched Afghanistan and he is about to botch Ukraine again.  Remember, Russia moved in to Crimea when the US had a weak leader in Obama.  Iran is mere weeks away from enough enriched uranium to make nuclear bombs, which they are touting to the world.  Yet Europe, Obama admin, and Biden admin, all believed Iran when they said they were enriching uranium for "peaceful purposes."  That was wrong.  As well, Iran now has a missile that can reach our allies in the middle east...

Since we are talking about missiles, what about "Rocket Man" over in North Korea.  He was silent and we came to the closest we've ever had to peace with Trump.  NK stopped firing missiles.  Now under Biden, NK says they are close to having a missile that will hit the continental US and they have been firing off missiles almost weekly.  You just don't hear about it in the left-wing media.

Russia and China have signed an agreement that is anti-US during the Beijing Olympics of 2022.  Taiwan is in the ever present danger of Chinese invasion.  China has become more and more aggressive.

I touched on it earlier, but the embarrassing retreat of Afghanistan that left decades of nation building into collapse within a day. 

ISIS is rebuilding in the middle east after having been pretty much wiped out by allied forces under Trump admin.

Highest inflation in 40 years currently.  High gas prices, high food costs.  Basic needs are expensive.  Getting supplies and parts for things is hard because of supply chain issues that the Biden admin won't address because they don't know what to do.

Biden administration and the Democrat party have moved far to the radical left and have alienated more than half of the US populace.  They are polling in the 30% range now, among the lowest in US history.  The Democrat Party has created "groups" for everything; black, white, evangelical, straight, gay, woman, man, latinx, etc.  They've made up all these categories and pit people against one another.  They've been spreading fear and misinformation about the virus.  We can see the stats for ourselves, and we know if the vaccines are working or not.  People have a choice, but the Biden Admin is against personal choice and instead pushing mandates. 

CIA has been found to be collecting personal data of American's under Biden Admin.  A database of "bad eggs" and "Terrorists" which are nothing more than parents who disagree with schools towing the Biden admin agenda.  They are using our own enforcement against us.  They are labeling anyone who doesn't think and believe what they do as "extremists or racists."

I mean, I could go on forever here.  I didn't even mention the rampant leftist crime, homelessness, the border, and the sad drug crisis. The evidence is mounting and growing higher each day.  The Biden Administration and the current Democrats are the WORST in US history.  The worst.  Do I even need to bring up Hunter Biden, and all the corrupt business dealings the Biden's had with various countries like China, Ukraine, and Russia?  Do I need to bring up the insider trading done among hundreds of lawmakers?  It's all corrupt and disgusting.

Trump was never more right when he said we need to "drain the swamp."  The swamp is thick, and getting thicker.

I mean, you're not wrong.

My job forming a database on the vaccination status of all our employees, failure to submit this information can lead to reprimands and/or termination. They've never done this over the flu or any other medical condition, why now. I'm probably paranoid, but watching other companies terminating employees over the vaccine. I feel like I have a reason to be paranoid. I'm vaccinated, but not boosted. I'm not interested in the booster. I try to stay informed, but this shit is depressing.

You should be worried about that database.  Here I used to think my home country (the land down under) was a democratic place of freedoms.  The pandemic showed how much of a tyranny it is if you have a voice other than what the leaders and far left say.  They have a complete database and locked us in our homes for over a year.  You were not allowed to leave of they sent the "covid police" after you and actually arrested you.  They monitored people who had it and checked up on their homes to make sure they didn't leave.

You should be worried. America is the last true bastion of freedoms even though many other countries claim to be free.  Look at what is happening north of your border in Canada.  It's tyrannical. 

When you lose your freedom of choice, what is the point?

Time for another... Trump was right moment!  Oh the left hates these....

In 2018 President Trump Told NATO that Europe was captive to Russian energy.  This is the video (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/02/25/flashback_2018_president_trump_told_nato_secretary_europe_is_a_captive_of_russia_as_long_as_theyre_buying_russian_oil_and_gas.html). 

With context, former Pres. Trump is telling NATO they need to increase their spending in military funding.  The US spends the most money overall and per capita on NATO despite it being made to support Europe.  The US accounts for 70% of the defense spending for NATO.  He begins to talk about how it makes no sense that NATO is supposed to be defending Europe from Russia, yet most of Europe gets their energy from Russia. He calls out Germany who gets over 70% of the energy from Russia.  So NATO countries are technically funding Russia and are in a strange hold if Russia were to ever use it as leverage.  Oh how prophetic it was, because here we are in this situation we have now.  All of a sudden European countries want more spending into NATO and are scrambling on ways to cut back Russian energy. 

Here is what Trump said if you don't watch the video...

"We're supposed to protect you against Russia but they're paying billions of dollars to Russia?" Trump asked. "I think that's very inappropriate."

"And the former Chancellor of Germany is the head of the pipeline company that is supplying the gas. Ultimately, Germany will have almost 70% of their country controlled by Russia with natural gas. So you tell me, is that appropriate? I've been complaining about this from the time I got in."

Trump called on Germany to "step it up" on their contribution to NATO immediately, "not 10 years from now."

"Germany as far as I am concerned is captive to Russia ... we're supposed to protect Germany while they are getting their energy from Russia, explain that," Trump asked the NATO Secretary-General.

"The gas pipeline from Russia to Germany is one issue where allies disagree," NATO Secretary-General Stoltenburg replied to Trump.

Footage posted to social media reportedly shows the impact of at least five projectiles in Erbil, Iraq near a U.S. military base and consulate. Unconfirmed reports indicate the attacks involved Fateh-110 ballistic missiles launched from Iran, not smaller rockets or artillery shells used in numerous previous attacks against U.S. installations in Iraq. Even if artillery rockets were used, they would have had to of been quite large. There are no immediate reports of casualties or U.S. retaliation for the reported attacks. If confirmed, the attack would be the first of its kind since a coordinated missile strike against U.S. forces in Iraq in January 2020. Those attacks came after a U.S. drone strike killed Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian commander, on Baghdad’s Airport Road.

* Multiple missiles minutes after midnight on Saturday targeted the US Consulate General’s new complex in Erbil, capital city of the Kurdistan Region, according to initial reports. Social media pages affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said at least 14 missiles were fired at Erbil. One of the missiles has hit the main headquarters of the leading Kurdish news channel Kurdistan 24, causing significant damage with no casualties. There has been no immediate claims of responsibility. Kurdistan 24 said multiple missiles had hit the surroundings of the US Consulate General’s under-construction complex, shattering windows at nearby homes. There are unconfirmed reports of one injury.

"Abigail Disney, the outspoken, left-wing granddaughter of Disney co-founder Roy O. Disney, is urging the company to embrace more leftist social positions, saying political neutrality is no longer an option for American corporations." - Article (https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2022/04/09/left-wing-disney-heiress-demands-disney-to-go-more-woke-my-grandfathers-company-should-stand-for-love/)

More...

"In her editorial, Abigail Disney slammed Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, falsely claiming that its supporters “will not be satisfied until they have erased an entire class of human beings.” She also focused on the growing backlash against Disney among conservatives while omitting the fact that it was left-wing LGBTQ activists who dragged Disney into the political debate by pressuring the company to abandon its neutral position and oppose the legislation. “We need corporations to step up on principle, regardless of what the resulting backlash might look like,” she wrote.

“The only option for corporate leaders is to stand tall for authenticity, generosity, joy and decency. These things are kryptonite for the right-wing agenda. Fortunately, they are also the heart and soul of the Disney brand.”

Abigail Disney’s brother, Roy P. Disney, recently revealed that one of his children is transgender in a fundraiser for the left-wing Human Rights Campaign, saying he was “heartbroken” over the Florida law.

Abigail Disney has been an outspoken critic of Disney senior management, even creating a documentary criticizing the pay gap of Disney employees, focusing on wage earners, or “cast members,” at Disneyland, some of whom say they are unable to afford sufficient food on their pay."

And as expected, the Democrats are praising this mysterious unknown for breaching the trust of SCOTUS.  They are using this as an election tool for the midterms since the Democrats have truly nothing positive to run on.  Sigh.  How can they be supporting someone who broke the law?  Oh wait...
Title: Re: US News & Politics
Post by: Grapefoot on 2022-05-03 23:34:42
In a weird way, it feels like the leak was planned.  Because somehow the entire Democratic Party had prepared responses ready to praise the person and now has pro-abortion rallies already in full swing.  They had one going (somehow with professional shirts made, signs, posters) at the justice building the day of.  The next day, not even multiple hours of daylight, they had rallies in protest all around the country.

It sounds conspiratorial to say that.  But I think the Democrats may have known about this leak ahead of time and were ready to go.  It lines up perfectly with the midterms as they have nothing to run on right now.

Weirdly, Democrats claim Democracy is broken all the time, yet they are the ones that only like it when it works in their favor, otherwise they break the system further, call people racist, sexist, etc.  If Roe v Wade was to be overturned by the court, in theory, Democrats should have liked this.  It would allow true democracy in each state to choose if they want abortions or not.  Chances are, no states would outright ban abortions anyways.

Statistically, young black women perform more abortions than anyone.  430 per 1,000 black women in America perform an abortion.  That is an insanely high number.  The next racial group isn't even 5 in 1,000.  As we all know, the original creation of Planned Parenthood by Sanger was to eliminate blacks and "imperfect races" and people.  Margaret Sanger published a article called “Eugenic Sterilization: An Urgent Need” in 1933. It was written by Margaret’s close friend and advisor, Ernst Rudin. Rudin was then serving as Hitler’s Director of Genetic Sterilization and had earlier taken a role in the establishment in the Nazi Society for Racial Hygiene.  Shortly after, Sanger then published “Selective Sterilization”, which praised and defended The Third Reich’s pre-holocaust race purification programs.

Clearly there are reasons an abortion must be carried out sometimes, but I hope no one ever forgets the beginnings of how abortions began.  It was to purify society of anyone who wasn't white.  Democrats was/are the party of the KKK and slavery.  They try to revise history and act like they were on the right of everything.  Fact is, they have been on the wrong with most of history.  They were wrong then and wrong now.  They are wrong for supporting whomever leaked these drafts from SCOTUS.

Post by: Rainberry on 2022-05-05 17:45:57
If Roe v Wade is overturned, it would be interesting to see how states themselves choose what to do.  What they would keep and what they would not.  It actually would give more power to the people if it went to the states.  A ruling such as that should have gone to the states initially based on our constitution.
Title: Re: US News & Politics
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2022-05-05 18:20:24
That is in theory what it should do, allowing the states to choose.  Republican's don't want a central government choosing what the whole country has to do.  They want the states to choose, limit central power.  Democrats increasingly want a central power and all choices to be made from Washington DC.  The founding Fathers when creating the constitution purposely made sure that the US couldn't be ruled centrally only.  They knew the corrupting powers from a single central government, which is why they allowed "states" to have more power than the federal government. 

Over the past 100 years of US history, we've seen states give up more and more power to the federal government.  The Democrat Party is in full swing trying to take all that power and place it in their hands in Washington DC.  They have been going to extremes to make sure they don't lose elections such as tampering, fraud, and what we are seeing now with the SCOTUS breach.  Republican's are fighting against this, but don't have as loud a vocal voice and the small vocal minority of left wing Democrats. 

Our country's hegemony is at stake, and we have corrupt politicians destroying our country from within itself.  It's sad.

As more info comes out over the leak of the Roe v Wade draft, we now know that the Democrats did in fact plan (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/2022/05/04/scotus_leak_is_dems_dirty_may_surprise_for_midterms_569140.html) and want to use this as a midterm tool (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-leaked-scotus-opinion-push-bill-legalizing-abortion-9-months).  The person who leaked it is being protected by the Democrat Party and their name has no been released.  The Democrats are praising a person who outright broke trust and went against the sanctity of SCOTUS.  The Biden Admin hasn't even denounced the actions... ridiculous.  Now you have left-wing rioters and protesters going nuts.  They burned buildings in Los Angeles, and they DOXED all the conservative supreme court judges.  Dems have done nothing to protect the judges of denounce these actions of their own party breaking laws and rules.

The radical left-wing is unhinged in this country.  The mainstream media, all of whom are with the left, don't report all the bad things going on under the Democrats and in fact support and promote it.  It's going to hell so fast. 

Jen Psaki, the White House Press Secretary is leaving to join the leftwing MSNBC.  Her replacement, who is supposed to be non-political, has direct ties to leftwing CNN having been a political analyst. So we got plenty more shit to deal with.

Just like the Republican's warned... with the leak of Justice's addresses they were at risk... and of course it happens just like conservative America warned.  A Democrat-leftist went to Justice Robert's home and planned to 'off him' with a gun, which Democrats claim only Republican's have. Democrats, Biden Admin, is a cluster fudge.

And now we got the fake "January 6th" hearing the Democrats are running on primetime TV. They hired an ABC producer to make it good for television.  Of course, this is the Dems setting up a false stage for control over American's rights and their lives.  This is the pretext of a "court" to arrest and prosecute anyone who doesn't believe in Democrats and their leftist message.  America you are letting this horrible party and their ideas FUCK YOU so hard. This needs to stop.

Biden Admin has placed incompetent people with the same extreme leftist ideology and we're seeing the fruits of that labor. Record gas prices, bare store shelves, no baby formula, open borders, higher taxes, a record number of people without jobs (different than the gov unemployment stat), and a country who's economy has shrunk since Biden's plans have been implemented.  No one is stable, no one is safe with soaring crime.  The Democrat's got what they wanted.  An America in shambles.  They've leveled the playing field, and were crumbling beyond that.

^ I feel bad to say I watched it to see what they would say.  This was the Democrat's moment in the spotlight to reveal all the "dirt" they supposedly had against Trump.  They had nothing.  It was partisan-hack material political pandering.  They had no evidence and even revealed the Trump Administration tried to order Troops for the inauguration several weeks before hand, over 22,000.  But it was Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat's that said NO.  They wouldn't activate the military for security.  It was revealed in the documents that Nancy Pelosi finally tried to call in the troops on an emergency order late in the afternoon of January 6th, the day of the White House breach.  She demanded the military bring armored vehicles and even M1 Abrams tanks!  WHAT?  Is she living in a military dictatorship?

The Democrats at the Jan 6 event tonight provided no substance and was just Democrat pandering.  It was truly worthless.

They are so blind-sized and think American's car about this.  American's care about the inflation, the crime, the baby formula shortage, and so much more.  They don't care about these fake stories the Democrats and their media outlets make up.  Russia-collusion was fake and so is their so-called January 6th 'insurrection.'  The Democrat Party is full of frauds right now. They want ultimate political power at any cost.

It's funny because right now if you go onto the leftwing websites like NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, etc, they all have headlines that are pretty much the same right now.  "Jan 6 Committee Reveals New Evidence."  When you click on the article to read it, and actually read the whole thing, there is NO evidence.  They just hope people will read the headline and believe it.  So they showed some never-before-seen security footage of people at the grounds.... So what?  How is that evidence?  They have thousands of security cameras and they could pull up that footage and call it new as well. 

There was no new evidence.

Exactly right. 

I was reading through CNN right now, and they have a headline to shock you, "Cheney reveals Trump had seven step plan to take over the country."  You read the article, no where does it say anything about Liz Cheney saying this, nor did Trump ever plan to do this. 

We're seeing control of the media and false government narrative that you would see in unstable countries.  We're seeing it here under Democrat control.  It's worrisome.

The Democrats had a Republican governor candidate in Michigan arrested.  How is this not arresting and stopping political rivals?  How does no one else see this?

All part of the Democrats plan to remove him from running for a second term?  Also for the short period they thought he was safe to go back again, he didn't wear a mask and clearly went against every guideline the Democrats and CDC advise to follow.

This White House is an absolute SHIT show and they are a bringing this country into a decline so fast.  We are getting pushed around by China.... and now if Nancy Pelosi doesn't go to Taiwan, China wins by knocking the US down another peg in the world.  China has said if they US uses fighter jets to get Nancy Pelosi into Taiwan airspace, they will "shoot them down."  All on threats.  Enemies to us and the world are now brazen because the US is being led by the worst, weakest, President in our history. Russia's invasion of Ukraine purely happened because of the US's weak leadership.  You can bet Russia wouldn't have done that if Trump for example was president still.  China wouldn't be doing these threats if Trump were in office still.  North Korea wouldn't be firing off missiles every other day if Trump was still in office.  Remember, NK stopped firing missiles due to negotiations with Trump.

And I didn't even bring up all the policies and failures at home in our homeland.  Democrats are passing a massive $430 trillion dollar (where are we getting this unlimited money) "Build Back Better" plan in which Democrats will RAISE American's taxes by reportedly the highest amount in forty years.  This comes at a time when everyone is struggling, there are shortages of food, supplies, the economy is in a recession, and two quarters of negative growth.  The plan will spend billions on pork-barrel spending towards climate change and green energy.  All things American's don't need being the focus right now.  The American people need help in the housing crisis, inflation, food shortages, mental health, and so much more...

This is America's darkest period and it's happening so fast.  Does the world really want a dominant China to control things?  Looks like we're headed that way.

What, Biden couldn't find a deserted aspirin factory in Sandland or something to bomb in order to distract the American public from the tanking economy, empty grocery store shelves due to shortages, and the allegations about the incriminating files discovered on his crackhead 52-year-old fratboy son's laptop, so he called for a pre-dawn raid on Trump's house? Think those agents had fun going through his wife's panty drawer? Well, one good thing came out of this, at least: the media talking heads have finally learned, after a quarter of a decade, to properly pronounce the word "harASSment".  I got soooooooooooooooo tired of it being constantly said as "HAYR-uhs-mint" during the Clinton era.

Not to mention the raid on Mar-a-Lago.... I mean, how obvious can this corrupt, bias FBI and Justice Department be?  They've found nothing to our knowledge and the public documents they found were nothing as of yet either.  They (the Democrats) are trying to hard to end Trump's career for reasons that can only be summed up as it's going against their plans... world order, whatever it may be.

9/11 was today, 21 years ago.  :o 

It was such a dark, horrible day.  But from it we had the greatest uniting of American's I can ever remember.  Everyone helped one another, supported one another, and it was a wonderful period of people coming together, regardless of politics, or anything else.  It's true what they say though... you look at the world pre-9/11 and post-9/11. 

God bless the families and all the first responders who sacrificed so much on this day.  It still brings chills and a tear to my eye when rewatching the scenes or a news report.  The US was a lot different back then.  Before this happened, we were more naive and in some ways, I think it's a feeling many people miss.

We got a lot of important states out east to keep an eye before we move out west.

Florida, Georgia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and lets throw New Hampshire in.  We might see many switching from Democrat to Republican do the the ruinous two years of Democrat control. 

Republican's are talking the issues people want to hear; Crime, border security, economy, inflation, fiscal responsibility, parents choice for schools, and people's choice for healthcare. 

Democrats have nothing positive to run off of so they are just saying things currently, like Democracy is on it's last leg, and trying to real in leftists for abortion rights, but they really have nothing this election cycle other than lies. 

Because of we should see many states pick up red candidates.  Even out west we can see possibilities in Arizona, Colorado, and very blue Washington and Oregon possibly going red.

The longer it takes Republican's to pick a leader, the worse they are going to look and the better optics it is for the Democrats.  The last thing the Republican's want is the Democrat's to look better come the next election cycle.  Democrats have utterly failed the past two years, yet still did well in the midterms.  Either American's aren't paying attention (very likely) or they just for some reason dislike Republicans even more (also very likely).

It's not bad I'd argue, @Grapefoot.  It's good to see democracy at work and people not all just agree with the first thing given to them.  It allows for the flow of different viewpoints and opinions.  So this is perfectly healthy despite what you see online and the media.

President Joe Biden is going to the disastrous border for the first time in his Presidency.  The person whom he gave control to fix the border, Kamala Harris, hasn't visited the border yet and hasn't even worked on it.

Post by: Silverwing on 2023-01-09 00:49:46
For all of Biden's international travel over his 50 years in public service, Biden has not spent much time at the U.S.-Mexico border. The only visit that the White House could point to was Biden's drive by the border while he was campaigning for president in 2008. He sent Vice President Kamala Harris to El Paso in 2021, but she was criticized for largely bypassing the action, because at the time, El Paso wasn't the center of crossings that it is now.

President Barack Obama made a 2011 trip to El Paso, where he toured border operations and the Paso Del Norte international bridge, but he was later criticized for not going back as tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors crossed into the U.S. from Mexico.   The Obama Administration also separated children from their families and literally held people in cells. (They would freely walk out of course)

President Trump, who made hardening immigration a signature issue, traveled to the border several times. During one visit, he crammed into a small border station to inspect cash and drugs confiscated by agents. During a trip to McAllen, Texas, then the center of a growing crisis, he made one of his most-often repeated claims, that Mexico would pay to build a border wall.  They did to a degree, but overall it was from moving funds around.

The numbers of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has risen dramatically during Biden’s first two years in office. There were more than 2.38 million stops during the year that ended Sept. 30, the first time the number topped 2 million. The administration has struggled to clamp down on crossings, reluctant to take hard-line measures that would resemble those of former President Donald Trump's administration.

So this story gets even worse from yesterday! Now classified documents have been found in Biden's home garage.  We are also learning the DOJ knew about these classified documents right after they raided Trump's house, but didn't tell the public about Biden's classified documents or do anything in terms of a raid.  The double standard and swamp is thick with this one.  They will try to destroy Republican's and have block to block media coverage against Trump, but next to nothing and no penalty for Biden or when the Democrats do the same thing, but actually worse.  How people are still blind to this is shocking.

The Navy shot down the balloon... after it flew across the entire country and China got all the info they wanted and to see how poorly we'd respond to it.  Wow, the Biden Admin is truly doing everything wrong.  It's shockingly sad.  This balloon also flew through the entirety of Canada and Alaska as it flew into Montana.  How did Canada not notice it?  How did NORAD not see it?  Did they see it and just choose not to say anything?  Seems like something the Biden Admin would do.  "What the American people don't know won't hurt them...."  That's probably the Biden MO.

I remain convinced that if I live long enough, every time I hear a weird story on the news, I will be able to say, "Feh, I wrote something that x years ago."  I expected it, however, to be when I'm, like seventy or eighty--not just shy of 48. 

My story (https://scratchpad.fandom.com/wiki/The_Belch_Dimension_Comics#Year_Fifteen_(2019-20)) was about a town invaded by an army of mysterious alien balloons, and if, in the course of their spy missions they were observed or threatened, they burst, releasing a cloud of sleep-gas.  Thanks to Joe Biden we live in a cartoon now, folks.

^ You are probably right. 

Jimmy Carter will be remembered as one of the worst US Presidents, but the difference is, he was kind, caring, and certainly tried his best.  Today's President... well.... he's bad on top of not caring or trying to make inroads.  Carter's legacy comes from the generosity he had and his giving through Habitat for Humanity.  So many lives he changed while building homes for others.  He did it his whole life after the Presidency.  This peanut farmer from Georgia will be remembered for the better even if his Presidency was marred with a poor economy (stagflation, the oil crisis, the transfer of the Panama Canal, Iran hostage crisis, and more...)  But his humanitarian activities after the presidency is what he will be remembered for.


(His poor presidency has already been compared to Biden's with so many similar things going on such as the oil crisis, stagflation, inflation, crisis in Afghanistan, etc)

He pats the kids' heads, gives each of 'em a shiny new penny, falls asleep in front of the TV watching the ball game 'til supper's ready, and, once he's had his third glass of wine, starts telling ethnically-insensitive jokes. Before you would simply smile, shuffle the kids off to bed quietly whenever peepaw starts dusting off his after-eleven material, and say nothing, because hey, he's from a different generation and doesn't know better. Now, suddenly, people are mad and papers are unceremoniously dropping Adams' strip because, oops, they "discovered" what he really was. Again, you knew all along; this is the same guy who created an Indian intern character named Asok, who was voiced in the cartoon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbert_(TV_series)) by a white guy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Kenny), fah-gawd's-sake. 

Oh, and he's a crusty old Trump supporter, no less.     ::|

It truly amazes me how we are seeing before our eyes, the Deep State truly try to make up a narrative and history.  Tucker Carlson has been providing new video footage for three days now and it is all opposite of what the Democrats and media have been saying for 26 months.  There was no violence, Officer Sicknick wasn't killed by protesters at the White House.  The Biden AG today came out and made up a new state saying 5 Officers where killed on Jan 6.  No.  No officers were killed on Jan 6. 

There were more officers injured, and many severely injured during the George Floyd and BLM riots in Washington DC.  But no one talks about the millions in damage, the hurt officers, and the violence done on that night.  No.  They only focus on Jan 6 and their anti Trump narrative.

The Deep State has been shown so obviously before us once again this time, and they are doubling down on their lies hoping the pawns who don't follow the news, continue to believe their lies.  Believe that they are good, Republicans and Trump bad.  Lying eventually leads to destruction and lying seems to be all Washington DC can do...

Look it up; it's true. This is the people's candidate?...  This crybaby?... this proud Latin-X role model for Gen-Y women, who basically admitted she was just some simpering, histrionic twit cowering in fear of her own rescuer, like something out of a bad sitcom?  Donald Trump wouldn't have hid away and sobbed and almost wee'd his panties thinking he was going to die. Hell, whatever you thought of his politics, even that ol' hard-leg Irish bastard Tip O'Neill would have shown more courage and dignity in such a situation.

Corruption from the government at it's most apparent.  You know other states that are Democrat will now do this to. Just to be clear. The 14th amendment, Section 5 doesn’t say states can do anything.  "The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

Trump barred from Colorado's ballot for 2024 election after our ruling

The Colorado Supreme Court cited the 14th Amendment in its ruling that bans former president Donald Trump from being listed on the state ballot for the 2024 election.

The order came down Tuesday from a court whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors declared the front-runner for the GOP nomination ineligible for the White House.

Due to Trump's actions on January 6, 2021 (in which he did nothing), he will be removed from Colorado's presidential primary ballot.

It's likely that the nation's highest court will decide whether Trump can remain in the race.

Tuesday's decision marks the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.

"A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment," the court wrote in its 4-3 decision.

Trump’s campaign released a statement following the ruling.

"Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice,” a campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, said. “We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits."

Colorado's highest court overturned a ruling from a district court judge who found that Trump incited an insurrection for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but said he could not be barred from the ballot because it was unclear that the provision was intended to cover the presidency.

The court stayed its decision until Jan. 4, or until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the case.

Trump's attorneys had promised to appeal any disqualification immediately to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has the final say about constitutional matters.

My state is stupid.  The fact they can do this unconstitutional act is ridiculous.  I assume it will be overturned.

Donald Trump dominated the Iowa Cuacus with a record percentage of votes, winning every county in the state except one, which he lost by one vote.  Second places was Nikki Haley followed by Ron DeSantis.

Ron DeSantis today announced he is ending his campaign for President and placed all his support behind Donald Trump.

This comes at a time when Joe Biden has no campaign, a failing economy, multiple world events and wars expanding, and the lowest rating in US history for a President, yet the leftwing media keeps trying to prop him up as they continue to mount their attacks on Donald Trump.

Crazy times.

Former pres. Trump destroys the competition in New Hampshire too.  Nikki Haley trails in a distant second in the primaries there last night.  Most outlets confirmed Trump would win within minutes.  So unless something major happens to either Trump or Biden, it seems like a rematch is likely for 2024.

It was a pathetic speech.  Biden has no idea what he was saying. He did the exact opposite of what the administration wanted him to do.
