Great analogy!

Man, I don't think there is anything in politics that enfuriates me more than the blinkered bigotry of those who oppose immigration.

this please guise. this is my one continual plea itt. Guys like truefish, sushy, metsfins, awval, inso et al struggle mightily with comprehension and logic. No matter what evidence or new information you expose them to, they just are not mentally equipped to think outside of whatever nonsense they read in headlines on Breitbart/Drudge. It stop right there for these poor souls and millions like them - there is no critical thinking, skepticism, and vetting of information that comes after they see those headlines. This is difficult for many of us to understand but the reality.

I like coming to this thread because a lot of the posters add intelligent context and commentary to the top breaking stories. And at other times you guys share new stories, tweets, or perspectives that I miss from perusing google news. But it really sucks when I have to read arguing with some moron about why Benghazi allegations are BS or w/e nonsense these simpletons charade

It's an analogy that makes no sense unless I'm misreading it. The timeline of events as suggested would go something like 1.----> GG goes hard against Russia 2. -----> No1curr 3.-----> FINALLY some1curr 4.-----> GG goes much less hard against Russia also wat?

I slow got a 24 hour ban for asking people to ignore him. I didn't even call him names or anything.

wow david duke really knows how to take deplorable to new levels

I've read every post in this 15,000 post thread. This one stands out for me.

Thank you for phrasing my opinion in terms much more eloquent than I could ever hope to.

Agreed. That was a great post!

humm that dvaut post is what pretty much rest of the world see the USA for a while now,in case you didnt know.
Muricaaaa! when we say that isnt a compliment
Btw on every chat there are these nazi comments (exemple poker chat : one sees you are german and calls you a nazi),
well,americans will get them too.
This is really crazy how most of you are waking up now.

Or how about I bash it because it's inherently racist, xenophobic, and doesn't help keep us safe (and furthermore makes us more unsafe)? I mean are you kidding me?

OK no more sympathy for Liar Spice.

"Little question something happened..." Little Sean still reeling from the reaming he got on Friday.

Also if you aren't watching Jake Tapper you need to start. Straight fire every day.

I guess it can be summed up as "Trump is the symptom, he is not the cause. We need medicine to get rid of the symptom, but we need a vaccine to get rid of the cause".

Personally, I don't think a vaccine is possible. It seems that the same people who vote for Trump, and there are plenty of them, are the people who have no capacity for logic or reason, and just want to subscribe to some partisan narrative. The same traits are present in the left, of course, but no nowhere near the same degree.

It seems to me that there is no reasoning with a significant percentage of the population, and now that those people have won, they have taken that to mean that they are right.

Personally, I'm probably "liberal" (in the American sense), in that I don't want to stop women getting abortions and I don't think everyone should be able to buy guns.

There is one thing I find puzzling, that nobody has mentioned here. Everyone is talking about logic, rationality, facts etc. Why has nobody mentioned that it's impossible for a candidate of either party to get elected if they're openly atheist? I don't doubt that plenty of your elected officials are atheists, but it seems that nobody is ever going to get elected to any post anywhere if they don't mention god now and then. It seems to me that the sort of beliefs that drive religion are similar sort of beliefs to those that might drive someone to vote Trump - lack of respect for truth, empirical evidence, the feeling that the more one has faith in the face of uncertainty, the more righteous one is, etc.

Why has nobody mentioned the link between religiosity and Trump voting in what is now 17k posts?

As said, this stink will take decades to wash off.

Paid a source for an EXTREMELY odd investigation into the sordid underworld of camboys, later claimed he forget that he paid the source in an epileptic fit, general lack of solid gruntwork.

I'm always a few hundred posts behind itt so please 'scuse my tardiness.
Is it possible the reason nothing much seems to be happening in regards to removal/impeachment is because Trump is actually not much worse than the average politician, just absolute WOAT at hiding his true emotions and intentions? I know we shouldn't tarnish them all with the same brush, but I doubt the majority of them got into politics to help people. Themselves and friends aside ofc. Big Corporations have set the course over there for a number of years/decades and I'm sure kickbacks have been handed out left right and centre. There could possibly be a ton of incriminating stuff on a ton of people if looked into hard enough.
Is it possible they're holding back, and have to, because they know if they bring him down he's not going down alone and could very well take the whole system down with him?

Also it's important not to engage trufish like he's going to change his mind, but to publicly dunk on him to remind him that he represents America's stupidest, most cowardly 30% of the population and not only are there more of us, each of us is worth half a dozen of them.

Hey Lestat remember how you bitterly insist that racism doesn't exist among average people, that white supremacism is a SJW hoax to hurt your feelings?

Because I do get it. If you had listened to people like me, you could've predicted this. The only thing that matters to these people is the primacy of Real Americans, i.e. white Christian identity.

Trump flatters that belief. Actual policy is for nerds.

Fyp

Most voters are religious. If a candidate openly admitted he/she was an atheist, it would be political suicide. The power elite loves to espouse religion because it "shows" they have something in common with the poors. They need the poors to vote for them.

I think we can cross Kelly off the list of people that might stand up to Trump and stop him from doing horrible things. Who are we down to? Maybe Mattis, McMaster, Comey?
