Original Thread
Starting this thread due to thread performance issues in the old thread.

When the original politics thread started it was as a result of the Russia-Georgia conflict in South Ossetia in 2008. I had felt that this event would be a good one to challenge the conventional two party narrative and that some poggers might want that challenged. While my post was originally placed in the Community Thread, some wise moderator decided that containment was best, and the politics thread was born. My desire to challenge narratives is no less strong than it was then.

I had tried posting in the Politics forum and probably have a few hundred posts there, but every thread that I ever posted in was locked. I was never the OP of any of these threads, but all topics that were of interest to me ended up getting locked. So that thread was also born out of the intolerant nature of political discussion that does exist on twoplustwo and in the world.

I would hope that pog can be better than that and I think it is.

I would ask that people try to think dispassionately about things and I understand that that can be hard. The world is a crazy place and it isn't getting any less so (imo). I'm glad there is a place to discuss politics with people because facebook is a nightmare. Here at least people are choosing voluntarily to enter.

May this thread go 100,000 posts

In before fail.

omg! weak ass title!

I'm a traditionalist

The world is getting crazier by the minute too.

Just learning about the craziest conspiracy theory I've ever heard. Not an endorsement I just did always think the line was "Luke I am your father"

In on the ground floor what it sure to be a trainwreck of epic proportions.

How's that for a mixed metaphor?

Boo new thread

Needs angry face, that really makes the other thread

I'm the most prog person in prog politics obviously.

It might be a positive step since race is clinal and therefore basically meaningless.

The progressives will hate this and it will backlash on them, imo.

So do these indictments today finally mean the Russian narrative is dead?

(Also what kind of fish bigger? )

I see no reason to expect it would be

I just went to cnn and confirmed you are correct.

I wonder when Stormy Daniels breaks her silence and tells us how bigly Donnie Tinyhands is?

The Russians know, why can't we?

Full disclosure and transparency in government....

Surely length and girth are the measure of POTUS.

Also - another burning question is to clear up the widely held conspiracy that Putin and Trump are orgy partners with Exxon chair Tillerson their pimp!

Donnie does Dallas! and Pumping it with Putin! - two well known black internet titles.


Mueller enquiry is clearly set up by Trump to distract us from his moonlighting in the hardcore scene.

Cruz is finished

Like people care about newspaper endorsements

Don't get me wrong, I want Cruz gone big time, but that article doesn't raise my hopes at all

Mitch McConnell

Matt Jones 2020

(bold prediction I am sticking to

Matt Jones beats Mitch if Mitch runs again

If Mitch doesn't run again Matt Jones keeps his comfortable radio gig, and a Republican replaces Mitch)

Old title was way better. I might have to boycott on principle.

Quavo dreamcrushed some little girl last night at the NBA celebrity all-star game.
