POLITICAL THREAD

[warrior-cat]

The Bronze Age near east was the center of civilization and knowledge for a few thousand years, they were definitely extremely advanced in several fields of human endeavor. But rival basically anything we can do today? Other than artistry which is subjective, you'd be hard pressed to convince me they could accomplish any feat of strength, coordination, efficiency, or anything else better than we can today. Cyrus the Great shaped the modern world as we know it and probably would have made everyone on this board look like simpletons, but brew a cup of tea or talk to your friend in Korea? Any one of us idiots can do it more efficiently.

As for the question of equally, general relativity shows us that time is passing pretty evenly for all of us stuck to this rock. Unless you think the people on the ISS and their 28 microsecond per day difference is big enough to be worth mentioning.

If this is true, my generation and the one before that made us this way and now you want to slow it down or just completely destroy it with socialism and communism? That has worked so well in the past said no one ever. Good luck with that.

You (democrats) tried keeping people oppressed in this country before in the past (slavery) but, my people from the right stopped you in the civil war. Could that possibly happen again? Stay tuned.

Yeah? We’ll bring our generational flavor just like you brought yours. And then in a few more decades we’ll be replaced, just as you are being now. Time marches inexorably forward. Progress. Embrace it or be left behind.

Looks like Hillary killed another one. Clinton/Obama economic adviser, Alex Krueger, apparently dead of "suicide" at 58.

Clinton Body Count rolls on....

That democrats find it easier to denounce capitalism than anti semitism should show you how "progressive" @Dionysus444 and the like really are.

I hear they are trying to somehow spin a terrorist attack in NZ on conservatives somehow...shows how despicable these ppl are.

Heres an exercise for you. Get a friend who is an African American or Hispanic and tell them to walk into a group of liberals and tell them he/she is Republican and you will see before your eyes the true selves of how disgusting and hate filled libs really are, and how much they hate independents thought.

It's 100% pure, unadulterated cognitive dissonance.

There were almost 5,000 Christians killed by muslims last year. Not a peep.

oh and the NZ wasn't conservative. He was a socialist.

 

[JStaff2187]

If "white folks visit Mecca every day", they'd sure as Hell better be Muslim. Non-Muslims aren't allowed. Since the only reference the poster made to white people was responding to your sock account then I assume you are Muslim? Oh, and I'm sure he literally meant "stone age". Idiot.

The constant defense of Islam is crazy. It’s the one religion that is above being called out in today’s world. Just because every member doesn’t shout about Allah and kill doesn’t mean others aren’t celebrating it.

Let me make a sports analogy to Islam. Remember when Kentucky played Texas Western in 1966? A lot of black students on campus were not openly cheering for Texas W, but were secretly in their dorm rooms.

That is how a larger percent of true Muslims are. Maybe only 1% carry out the killing of infidels, but a higher percentage than the defenders want to admit celebrate it.

Family members of the deceased should be able to sue the state of California and elected officials who allowed this person to be free into the Pacific Ocean.

Does it truly March forward in all areas equally?

Is there NOTHING that we may have been better at - 30 years ago.

What do you think?

Civility - being able to make points without being demonized.

Rationality - not letting emotions rule us.

That the SEC was totally racist in sports at the time shouldn't impact what UK blacks then thought & wanted? Pathetic.

Does anyone actually know any Dems view on immigration now? It appears they believe that anyone that wants to come can and simply registers somewhere and even if they never report again, they can stay with no repercussions.

It’s an analogy. Chill out. I’m not saying they were in the wrong to do so. Just pointing out that you don’t openly have to cheer something on to be in favor of it.

Nunes suit could be huge. It's not about money. It's about precedent that social media is no longer immune from suit, since they now openly police content.

At least that's my take.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Yeah? ..

 

[anon_l8pbkn96tg3j6]

There is no winning this situation for Mueller at this point.... I seriously think he should just stop and pretend there was never an investigation. If he finds the worst, the FBI and Congress let a Russian puppet be president of the United States for 2+ years. If his report has nothing, the FBI was used by Congress as a weapon against a fairly elected president. I know which situation I believe is more likely, but it's probably better to keep the illusion of order than say anything definitive.

Building that WALL. Thankfully we have a president who does not take no for an answer. Ann Coulter stick that up your rosy butt and shut up with your critical tongue about President Trump. Go suck on Bill Maher

 

[trueblujr2]

repeating what UKBrassow wrote:

"It has never worked, ever. And the countries you call socialist are actually free market capitalist countries with large welfare programs only accomplished bc of small homogeneous populations with outsourced militaries. Socialism denies liberty, goals, aspiration and always leads to an authoritarian or communism bc its need to control ppl...and always starts with an idea of helping ppl."

Those policies work because the combined population of Denmark, Sweden and Finland is roughly the same as the population of Florida. They spend about 3.8 billion of their GDP on Military, while we spend about 750 billion. THE POLICIES AREN"T SCALABLE, especially when we are letting hundreds of thousands more potential recipients of said welfare programs pour across our border each year. Please enlighten us all as to how this country can accomplish those goals in an affordable manner that doesn't tax the living daylights out of the middle class? Please explain how putting that burden on the wealthy and big corporations is sustainable? Please explain what incentives those individuals and corporations have to keep propping up the people who refuse to work, have accountability, or who are here illegally. Please explain what the incentives will be that keep those individuals and corporations from moving their operations, jobs and money overseas.

At least that's my take.

He should put together a large contingent of other high profile conservatives who were defamed on twitter without recourse and file an enormous class action suit.

This has been my keyboard crusade for years.

They need to he held accountable in the justice system for endorsing all the insane lunatic lefty drivel.

Exactly. Whole rationale behind their immunity was that they could not possibly police the content posted by users. We know now that is patently untrue and happens on a daily basis.

Will be something to keep an eye on for sure

The MJ talk persuaded me to peak at his twitter last night...

Per him, Trump is the meanest president in his lifetime. THE MEANEST.

He also had some townhall talk at a bar. lmao.

Has Trump killed any Americans with a drone without due process? I mean, that seems pretty mean.

However, I could see where some insensitive tweets may top extrajudicial killings on the mean scale.

I'd prefer they stay separate and forum shop until they get a winning fact pattern with an honest court.

You make an excellent point. If there is one thing the liberals have taught us is the fact courts are biased. That is why they can sue Trump over any issue and be assured the 9th Circuit will side with them. As long as courts are biased you have to forum shop and it looks like Nunes understands that.

It is time these liberal tech giants pay for their bias. You don't realize how biased they are until you follow news sources other than the MSM, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. Fox news is ancient history to me and the rest never were considered as a news source.

Which news sources are you following that isn't tainted with some sort of bias?
