He's a very very interesting, deep man. (He clearly didn't get to the part where Malcolm trashes Democrats for their soft racism, and in essence said, they were the new plantation owners.)
Liberals. From a leftist perspective. All talk and no action. MLK felt similarly, excerpt from Letter from a Birmingham Jail:

"First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fan in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with an its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured."


Socialists always eventually arrive at the inescapable problem of the moderate status quo defender. The conservative true enemies are only part of the problem. They are dwarfed by those who just want 'cheap gas and goods' and don't care how we get them.

Wait a minute ... there was one of the dumbasses on here a week or two ago telling me this was Rove's idea ...

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
 
I’m currently of the opinion that the majority of MAGA actually has no principles other than a cult of personality and 100% lockstep with whatever Trump says.

And here’s the thing. A forward immigration policy is a good thing. It should be applauded, assuming the person claiming it has credibility. However, likely amounts to a politician politicking sadly.



In again before “no we always thought that.”

Yours is a true statement. Club duplicate games are an order of magnitude more complicated than social bridge and require another level of competency. A fun aspect is you can go to tournaments and compete (poorly) against the great players in the world like Jeff Meckstroth & Eric Rodwell. They make big money between international tournaments & flunky partners that pay them - like me if I cared to do so. I play against a guy that pays a moderate pro several $K to be his partner during a week long tourney. The toughest games are outside the control of national & international organizations that are played for high stakes. Our NKy club has dwindled in the last 5-10 years from around 40 tables per week to around 25. We've lost five players in the last year, one just 4 days ago. There's an effort to get clubs going in schools, but it's up against mesmerizing tech video games. Asians in particular seem to be the spark for the game currently.
Not to seem stereotypically racist, but there is NO way that Asians aren't GREAT at Bridge. LOL
 
It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world's most vibrant middle class, and a idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.
💯

Or continue to vote for decline against your own interests and those of your family: believe the lies in the media, gleefully parroted here by the resident leftists, of some dystopian handmaid’s tale.
 
I know Israel gets a lot of crap sometimes but at least someone out there is trying to kill terrorists. And with the border wide open....a dead terrorist over there could have been someone who ended up crossing our border at some point.
Yep, bad guys are bad guys no matter who they are and need to be taken out. It has already been proven that many are coming across our borders so...

That Asian ancestry folks are disproportionately playing competitive bridge is factual. Jews disproportionately play also. We have 4 amongst our 75 or so regulars. Ain't no way in hell NKy has 5-10% Jews.

Is it bad that he’s evolving in a more open direction? I bet if you asked anyone on here they would 100% support legal immigration with proper vetting. I know the answer to my question. You’re not gonna be happy until we are a full on socialist country like the Euros you so envy.
 
It’s a yes or no proposition, clown, and you know this. You pay $250 if Trump loses and win $250 if he wins.

There is a history of libs/progs/commies welshing on this board.

One still owes Brady $1000.

That loser talked with much authority and confidence, but in the end couldn’t pay up. He was even given the chance to donate the loss to charity of his choosing. He still couldn’t pay up.


Something seems familiar.

Isn't it funny that he does his drive-by to 'disrupt our echo chamber' to point out Trump changing his opinion or politicking to gain votes and how we must be in a 'cult of personality' for supporting him. All while his candidate has changed stances numerous times on such items as fracking, defunding police, and criminal prosecution of weed offenses to name a few. He will ignore those or ague that they are genuine changes of heart to defend her while accusing us of the same. All you can do is laugh and roll your eyes at the hypocrisy.
