POLITICAL THREAD

[HymanKaplan]

Says the guy taking time out of his day to attend a rally. You go to the Trump tractor pulls too?

I took time out of my day to honor folks that were mostly drafted (because they didn't have rich/influential parents, connections to leading Democrats back in the day) and didn't have a choice, and THEN, when they got home were mistreated by spoiled kids (much like you) and abandoned by the VA/Goverment. That "event" didn't have a single thing to do with politics, until your walnut sized and extremely smooth brain got ahold of it.

If you really feel this strongly about it, I'd invite you to show up for the next one with signs protesting it. I'll give you a ride, to and from. Put your money where your mouth is. Barring that, you're just an empty bag of hot air. Lot's of talk and no action.

 

[Dionysus444]

But it is  your side what is interested in revisiting the Cold War, and perhaps even making it a hot one. For example, one of the most prolific Lefties here is constantly wailing about "appeasement" as if Russia was Nazi Germany or something. 🙄

Sam isn't a lefty, America just has two conservative parties. The capitalist uniparty is all in on that Cold War crap. You see the opposition establishment always working with the current admin to get that stuff done over either wing. American moderates and centrists love their wars, like @HymanKaplan.

 

[HymanKaplan]

So Dion, are you ready to back up your beliefs on Honor Flights? Or are you just going to whine about them? And make absurd illogical conclusions like I'm a war monger. LOL

Hell no, wouldn't catch me dead devoting time to that. That was honestly the whole reason I was surprised from the start and what prompted the question. Just like a Biden or Trump rally, that's lame AF. I bet you get misty-eyed when the Star-Spangled Banner plays at a UK game too LOL.

Coward. You feel strongly about them. You should bring awareness to them by presenting a different point of view.

 

[Dionysus444]

Coward.

Ha, what would I have to be afraid of? Are you threatening me with physical violence over a propaganda rally? Hahahahaha 'America, love it or have a clown on your ass!' hahahahaha

 

[HymanKaplan]

Not at all. I'm saying that if you feel like Honor Flights promote war, and you're against them, then you should act on that, instead of whining about it.

 

[AustinTXCat]

inflation was negative! stock market is BOOMING! just more winning!

 

[HymanKaplan]

Dion - Arlington National Cemetary should be bulldozed, because it's just one big political billboard.

Damn, you don’t need to try so hard to prove you are an a&&hole. We already know.

 

[Dionysus444]

I'm not against them, I just think they're stupid. No way would I spend time protesting it lol. People do plenty of stupid things in America. Obviously you're welcome to spend your free time attending those. Just wondering why in the world anyone would want to spend hours attending a political rally instead of watching a movie or something. Oppenheimer got good reviews. I dunno different generations I guess. You wouldn't catch me or anyone I know at a Biden rally either.

Believe me, he's not even leaning into it.

Well, you went further than that, and implied that by me showing up there that I was glorifying war. Which is just, well, silly. I admitted my error in bringing it up on the political board, and asked you to drop it, but you just kept ramping up the stupidity.

So, with of this all out of the way. Will you please just STFU about it? (and I will too)

No, you told me to and then edited in your regrets later after I'd already responded. I don't take orders from you or anyone else. Especially a clown grandstanding over war rallies.

 

[HymanKaplan]

It was a request, not an order, you simpleton. I don't know what you're prattling on about with respect to my regret in posting it on here.

I'm chalking all of this up to you just being extra pissy today. Go play in the dirt.

 

[WTF Cat]

Has sam tried to splain this away yet?

He cant.

 

[Lost In FL]

But that would take away his "victim" status.

Ppl like that are interestingly terrible, to go through life with such hatred and anger. Instead of peace, and gratitude. But it is fundamentally true.

You see the opposition establishment always working with the current admin to get that stuff done over either wing. American moderates and centrists love their wars, like @HymanKaplan.

Hahahahahaha. Look, if you wanted no wars, then there is only one viable candidate. Instead, you keep getting shafted by your party, from your grifter spokesman, all the way down. If Biden wins again, we will be in ww3. Plain and simple. And yet, like a good little cuck, you keep going blue.

I was stupidly waiting for this to dawn on him, but I should have known better. Democrats have been leading us into, and ****ing up war efforts for over a 100 years.

America could not be more divided. Just check out this thread.

Arizona AG confirms Rudy Giuliani served in elections case amid former Trump associate's 80th birthday party

Rudy Giuliani, a former associated of former President Donald Trump, became the final defendant served indictment among 18 charged in Arizona elections case.

www.foxnews.com

 

[HymanKaplan]

From the article:

"Trump himself was not charged but was referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator."*

*(that means they had no evidence on him, but they had to squeeze him in there SOMEHOW.) LOL

 

[Dionysus444]

America could not be more divided. Just check out this thread.

Any time I go in on the military it's kicking the anthill around here. Lots of hero worship in the wannabe tacticool crowd.

 

[warrior-cat]

you can be anti-war and support the Americans willing to put their life on the line. Who wants war less? The lib with zero appreciation of the enemy, or the troop that has to leave their life, their family, their kids, not knowing if they will ever see them again?

I thought a genius like you shouldve known that. However, in reality, you are just an ungrateful piece of shit.

"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."

[HymanKaplan]

Don't pigeon hole yourself. You're stupid on a wide array of subjects.

As in this case, you hate displays of appreciation for Vietnam Vets that were largely conscripted and sent over there, and yet, you stick up for the Democrats that caused it.

You're a mirage. A pile of jello. A thin cloud. An amorphous blob.

 

[sambowieshin]

Soooo, since the cia found no connection between them and inner city drugs AND the media reported it, do you believe them?

Be careful, bc if you say yes, then you are calling all of the aggrieved Communities liars. YOU are saying they are wrong. If you say no, then i can say no, i dont believe your bullsit either.

Do I trust our government is always out for us and providing honest answers about everything? Hell no.
Look no further than the many stories of experiments like the non treatment of syphilis on blacks at Tuskegee.
Our government has a history of lying to the American people.
But here is where I differ with you. Why the hell would the FBI take the time and effort to plant people in a pro Trump crowd to try and create a violent riot that stopped the official certification of Joe Biden as President???
He'd already officially been declared the winner.
So were the FBI agents Anti Biden? Were they working for Trump to try and overturn the electoral college vote in order to make Trump President? If so, then it absolutely was an insurrection attempt.
If they weren't pro Trump and were working on Joe Biden's behalf....wtf would they want to stop or slow down the electoral college certification that made Joe Biden officially President?
So if your theory is correct....either it WAS an insurrection attempt by Trump friendly FBI agents or it was an attempt to stop Biden from being declared President by Biden friendly FBI agents...That.Makes.Zero. Sense. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Either way, your rationale and logic for this tin foil hat theory MAKES ZERO LOGICAL SENSE unless you can prove it was an insurrection attempt by the FBI on Trump's behalf.

 

[warrior-cat]

So we should be glorifying it in a big celebration? Honor Flights are a charity that takes donations and uses them for propaganda, not to help veterans. Didn't take him for the type to favor lip service over action. But honestly now that I think about it it does fit, he's a blowhard who loves that kind of gauche crap.

False. We are not glorifying war, we are thanking those who sacrificed themselves to serve their country when called on. Your hate for this nation and those who served is telling.

About the surface level analysis I would expect from someone who rails to anyone who'll listen about how bad our two-party system is, then in the same breath blames it all on Democrats.

 

[warrior-cat]

Sad Cold War BS. Does cheering carpet bombing make you feel strong, clown?

Does blaming service members for the wars make you feel like a man now? Degrading others to raise your own status (in your mind that is) shows just how petty and weak your position is.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Blob, you might want to read about the Vietnam War.

Then you can read up on WWI and WWII.

Throw in the Korean War for good measure.

 

[Dionysus444]

Your hate for this nation and those who served is telling.

Telling of what? I would argue it's a reasonable response to our actions.

 

[warrior-cat]

Man, this is just...stupid. There is no other word for it.

 

[HymanKaplan]

No, a reasonable response is to blame those that STARTED the War, and subsequently escalated it. All while making sure rich donors' sons weren't drafted.

 

[Dionysus444]

I'm not blaming those who served(well, were drafted), but neither would I celebrate them either. What they did was abominable and should be studied with the gravity of the mistakes that were made and the lessons learned. Not turned into a social event to be cheered.

Where was this energy during Covid and the experimental mandated injections that people got a free hamburger and fries to take or lose their jobs?

But here is where I differ with you. Why the hell would the FBI take the time and effort to plant people in a pro Trump crowd to try and create a violent riot that stopped the official certification of Joe Biden as President???

So they could pin it all on Trump and have people like you fall for it not to mention put the fear of God in anyone daring to ever question an election again.

Its basically exactly what you do when you steal an election and plan to do it again.

 

[warrior-cat]

Ha, what would I have to be afraid of? Are you threatening me with physical violence over a propaganda rally? Hahahahaha 'America, love it or have a clown on your ass!' hahahahaha

He said nothing of the sort. Your comprehension skills are sub level at best.

 

[Dionysus444]

Yeah, and (paid)politicians with both Ds and Rs by their name did all of the above. So attempting to turn it into a partisan attack like you are isn't just disingenuous, but flat out historically inaccurate.

 

[warrior-cat]

So you were there to see what they did? Or do you just do as we have suspected all along, chase headlines and pretend you know something about what soldiers go through.
