You'r not going to find that online unless you got out and just talk with people and their concerns. Also mobilize to get people to vote at the lowest level position as possible and work up, not top to bottom.


That's why you can't find a moderate to have a discussion. If all you'r doing is trolling all your gonna find is trolls to fight.

Whenever I discuss politics with the few Trump-supporting friends of mine, it's immediately evident that they rely almost entirely on gut-feeling and constant reaffirmation that their expectations will be fulfilled by Trump and his surrogates. They have hope, because they actually want America to be "great again". Cool, good for them. If the argument stopped there, that'd be fine. But that's no basis for a discussion.

Any actual discussion is just flagrant goal-post-moving, evasion and strawman bullshittery. I've seen the same from friends that were hanging an inch off Obama's cock during times where I disagreed with his administration, but Trump supporters seem to be literally nothing else.

From a legal or societal standpoint, I absolutely agree with sky shark's argument that no president should be offing fools without due process anywhere. Therefore, Obama doing it was just as bad as Trump doing it is now. My Robinson/Clancy-novel-reading rear end, however, also has the gut feeling that sometimes, fools need a' poppin' for the bottom line. I KNOW that this isn't a valid argument, and I wouldn't bring it up in a discussion. Trump supporters will, because gut feeling, completely devoid of any factual support or morality, is somehow a valid argument to them.

The reason I ignore sky shark (not actual ignore-list ignore), is because in like 90% of the cases I've perceived his posting, he's been no-poo poo trolling, or contradicting himself between two pages of posting for the purpose of loving with people or the thread. That's loving retarded and I'm to old (literally, as in "I'm too old to have the energy" not as in "too mature") to engage his dumb poo poo.

That, however, is now turning into "YOU'RE PART/ALL OF THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ENGAGING POOR SKY SHARK/TRUMP SUPPORTERS IN REASONABLE DISCUSSION". And loving :lol: to that.

It wasn't very meaty to begin with, since - at least according to his story - his mother was essentially at a point where she might not return from her next hospital admission.

But this type of dumb poo poo is what makes up the masturbatory fantasies of the Spicers, Bannons, and Trump to refute something massive with a single loving tweet. Good job.

Pretty much this.

The alt-right wants ethnic cleansing, so if you're upset at protesters over property damage you're giving more value to inanimate objects than human lives.

He's not the alt-right, he's not the systemic threat the alt-right represents. He's one dude whose actual loving job is to rile up the opposition. Mock him, protest him, but for the love of god, don't play his game or do exactly what he's looking for. Like the very thing currently happening.

Protest the gently caress out of legislation, or the systemic poo poo that supports him. But this does more harm than good in my opinion.

That Norwegian former prime minister wasn't a refugee, either. Nor were all these green card holders that are hosed.

Not that there isn't enough to complain about in a Trump administration, but having been to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. and failing to list that on your immigration paperwork has always led to you being detained temporarily until poo poo's been fixed.

On which legal basis, I don't know, but it's been that way for ages. I'm not even talking about just failing to mention it in your visa or ESTA application, but poo poo as simple as accidentally omitting it on that dumb little flyer you have to scribble on in the plane was always enough to get you held up for hours at customs.


/edit: Like, my dad was inconvenienced to hell and back a decade ago because his passport listed entry into a -stan country roughly five years previously, and the customs dude was too dumb to distinguish between "good" and "bad" -stan-countries, and mistook it for something other than what was listed on his ESTA application.

Pence was incapable of giving a simple affirmation that the United States is morally superior to Putin's Russia. I think the US has massive problems that we need to strive to correct, but for the president and vice-president to not unequivocally state that the United States is several orders of magnitude better than Putin's Russia is just utterly insane.

For me as a German especially, it's incredibly weird how perfectly normal and even expected it is, on both sides of the aisle, to say "America is the greatest country in the history of the world", or "American ideals are superior to other countries' ideals all across the world".

That said, how in the gently caress do you not churn out a simple "yes" to this question as the vice loving president? :laffo:

I mean the platform of

Doesn't seem to be nearly as... suicidal?... self-harming? as

" DONT GIVE POORS WHATS MINE! GIVE JOB CREATORS OUR MONEY SO THEY MAY PEE IT ON US LATER*"

*even though they themselves are poor who don't have "mine" in the first place.

Yeah, but people internalize wealth, while they externalize poverty.

Folks feel more threatened by a movement that says it's coming for the rich, even though they're not rich. They feel less threatened by folks openly saying "Let's turn the loving poor into tires.", because you're less likely to consider yourself poor, even though all it takes is a failing paycheck to put you in the street.

I didn't think I'd be able to sit through more than five minutes of this, but the judges are basically arguing incredibly clearly and comprehensibly so that even a first year law student can follow it.

Meanwhile, Fentje is doing the legal equivalent of writing an 8th grade essay with incredibly long words in hopes of tiring the teacher out to the point where they just rubberstamp an A on it.


I'm 37 minutes into it, and one judge just interjected: "Why should we care?", followed by a lengthy and wordy stammering by lawyer dude, and ended by a "Yes, yes, but why should WE care?" from the judge.

/edit:
I'm now at the part where the Washington solicitor general is chiming in, they're not giving him a pass either, they're being pretty thorough shooting holes in both sides. Good to see that SOMETHING is still running as intended.
