I think it just comes down to willful ignorance and surrounding yourself in a bubble where everyone inside your bubble agrees with what you say and think.

I stand by my position. He is going to e responsible for death of thousands. His death would be justice.
Not what you said originally. Two of your cohorts have already disavowed your words. And the rest of your words are delusional. Among politicians I would think the best president would be Bloomberg. Followed by a healthy Bill Clinton. But I haven't studied the issues enough be sure.

We need more Third Way bull**** because I didn't properly take advantage of the housing bubble last time

Also we need more social authoritarianism and public financing of stadiums we'll gift to sports teams

For a guy who owns the site you are a shockingly poor poster. You are literally just making stuff up in this post. I see why you are a huge Trump fan.

Let's pretend like ignoring the rest of the world was not demonstrable the worst strategy in the history of man kind.

Let's pretend like we can just shut America down to all outside forces and influences and the people who will suffer first and the most are the one's dumb enough to believe it in the first place.

Let's pretend like we are not adults and don't have responsibilities that go beyond our own footsteps.

It's unfortunate you don't like being referred to as a Bannon disciple but when you support two of his biggest planks there is nothing more to really be said.

Here is an inside tip. America can not still be great, great again or any thing relating to great in any sense of the word if we just ignore the rest of the world. I think the most troubling aspect of this is people still support this notion and idea set in a world where we now have 20 full years of widescale public internet access which has forever changed how most human beings interact with each other. Yet a significant number still want to keep their heads buried in the sand/dirt/mud/dung with imaginary bogeymen.

There is literally no way to gave a more ignorant geopolitical view in 2017 then to support those positions.

The saddest thing of all. It was corporate cronyists Republicans (just like Trump!) along with the NFL that really got online poker banned. It's more Stockholm Syndrome bull**** deep down, just like the rest of the Trump supporters. It's ****ing pathetic, actually.

Ok, I'm confused. There are two health related bills in the House Rules Committee atm, HR 372 and 1101. The deadline for amendments to both bills has passed, but Ryan is promising changes to get the votes they need. I guess, being the Rules Committee, they can set the rules to allow additional amendments during debate. All before a Thursday vote. Golly.

Mason coming out in full support of a guy we knew was never going to do anything to legalize online poker was really something else. I certainly don't know what's going on in his head.

Most people who talk about first principles haven't had theirs yet.

He started a thread saying that people who play poker should vote Trump, got mocked incessantly before locking the thread, and the disappeared for months before showing up to remark that online poker bogeyman Preet got fired (along with everyone else but only after being told he would stay) as if was some kind of "told you so". Just bizarre.

There is *some* of this in the reverse too unfortunately.

It seems like the trend is the death of the center here and europe; which means the only solution that tends to happen in the end when it's far left vs far right is one conquers the other eventually. That's not good for anyone.

How about some empathy for the people he is going to actual hurt and kill rather than my hypothetical wishing which has no real world effect. I can't believe I once respected you. You really are deplorable.

The first rule of the American right wing is having absolutely no empathy for anyone in a different situation than you. You can concede some ground only if you are directly affected by a situation e.g. finding out a close family member is gay, or having to temporarily use government aid between jobs, or needing health care and not having insurance m.

Stop deflecting from your comment with wildly inaccurate guesses about my stance regarding how the government should treat the less fortunate.

Nonsense, the biggest complaint about the Democratic Party is probably that it's not left enough - Obama was pretty centric and Republicans acted like he was Marx 2.0

Wow you are Trump. I'm deflecting? I literally posted a second time standing by it and I'll do so again a third time.

Please cite ONE post of yours itt that is not in defence of Trump but rather shows any empathy for people he has or will hurt.

Of course, you can't.
03-18-2017 , 12:59 AM
Who else is on your list of people you are hoping die a prolonged tortuous death so that you can celebrate? What are the qualifications?

I hope ol WhatAboutDan didn't make the cut! Does Kissinger?
