***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[TooOlfForThisIsh]

talk about goal post moving. just concede the point.

In my initial response to you I made it clear that you'd pick out some literal who as indicative of the zeitgeist and you did not disappoint.

Honestly, I made my points and people can draw their conclusions. Adressing obvious misinformation is all we can do and getting into to with people who just can't be wrong is pointless.

Happy Friday

Growing up in the rural south everyone in church had something going on, kids out of wedlock, substance abuse, a few arrests and it was a small town so everyone knew everyone.

Throwing stones from a glass house would've been an understatement. I didn't meet weird Christians until undergrad and we had this "pastor" who would come on campus periodically and tell us we were going to hell.

My christian highschool was pretty chill. I remember in 7th grade I'd sometimes wear a Cradle of Filth band t-shirt that had satanic imagery on it and only my Latin teacher complained about it. My religion teachers always seemed very aware no one was actually religious at the school, it was really only the Latin teacher and the former principal during that seemed like nutty biblethumpers.
The only biblethumping I really noticed was in the dresscode. Spaghetti strap dresses/shirts were banned for girls, and one time I was with a friend and they refused to serve her food because of it. She was forced to change into some dusty gym t-shirt.

This wasn't just the typical ban on supposedly 'skimpy clothing' however, it also applied to guys as we found out during an extremely hot summer. These people banned us from wearing tank tops in scorching heat too
Lots of people got detention during that summer for refusing to change into some nasty spare gym t-shirt and the official reason for the ban was that displaying shoulders was "too sexual"

I feel like Trump got beef with the NIH because of how covid was handled lol

As of right now he has no reason to end it but things change so who knows what happens in the next few months. Maybe those oligarchs get tired of losing money and turn on him I enjoy the different perspectives from the channel about game theory and politics. Good stuff IMO.

I don't see an oligarch revolt happening tbh. The most powerful oligarch for that purpose (Prigozhin) literally drove up to Putin's doorstep, being let through all the way despite stating his intention to depose Putin, and then he ended up abandoning his cause right at the front door. Putin surprisingly didn't assassinate Prigozhin on the spot but then blew up his plane anyway a couple weeks or months later.

Prigozhin had huge backing from military officials, as evidenced by him not being blown up on the spot, and even he bit the dust for running his mouth. When he decided to turn back when he arrived at the Kremlin, everyone knew it was only a matter of time before he'd get assassinated like everyone else who runs their mouth too much.
I assume the only reason Prigozhin lived that long after his failed coup was because his leadership at the Wagner mercenary group was doing so well for the Russian army.

He said he'd fire 75% of the federal workforce.

I really love the fourth one:

"Sure go ahead and F over other people, but make an exception when it might affect me."

 

[Fozz]

He is a small man, doing the same thing when he got into office in 2016.

Signed a bunch of EO's to make it seem he's doing work.
Repeating the same talking points from his campaign to deflect questions regarding actual matters.
Being petty and making Federal support a political issue.

Won't do any actual work until **** hits the fan again and people are calling him and his administration out for not delivering. IMO, I do hope Canada cuts off power from the US, groceries and gas continue to rise, and more people find out and/or reminded of how stupid he and his administration is.

They don't care about the people in this country. He wants to be idolized, worshipped, and continue to grift and make money.

Clown show.

Wish I had seen this (and could show them) prior to last night when I actually had to have a convo with someone who used the autism excuse...

 

[rolaholic]

This is gonna hurt red states more than anything...

 

[kdawg]

Lmao.

I guess it’s on brand - a national organisation helping those who need it smells a lot like socialism…

Autism can't be an excuse, any human is capable of evil. Especially if they think their cause is just. Hitler had autistic traits and also sent autistic kids to camps and had them killed (projection?).

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

I understand why someone who lives in NY or California or Boston or Chicago would, but I never understood why a state like Minnesota would feel comfortable clowning Ohio . It’s like when an ugly person is laughing a little too hard when another person is getting roasted for being ugly.

yeah man no offense but imo there are tier 1 cities and then tier 2 and 3 and so on cities/states
LA, NY, San Fran, and Miami are Tier 1
Minnesota for example is like a Tier 3 place
Ohio in his defense is like Tier 4

I woke up this morning smiling from to knowing that I can look myself in the mirror and know that whatever happens to this country that I and many of you did all that we could to stop it. Good luck to those that are going to be left broken and worse off after this nonsense

 

[rolaholic]

These sort of political stunts are beyond depraved man...

This guy just says nonsense. People don't feel stupid watching that?

 

[elpablo21]

Might be with the racist Fox guy for a different reason.

One store trip together always leads to "Before we go home can we stop by....."

We had one objective ma'am
