Or ruin two random white guys in Chicago... How many hoaxes have they perpetuated so far this year. Four?
Their moral high horse is about as big as My Little Pony. |
In 2016 I was fully on the Bernie Bus. I was heartbroken that Hillary got the nomination, and I feel he would have beat Trump (people really hated Hillary). But now, while I still like Bernie, I do kind of feel like his moment might have passed. He should remain a big voice but I’m not sure he should be running the country.
I feel like he doesn’t convey his “socialist” positions clearly enough, he’s old, and he’s risky. BUT he does come into the race with juice that no other candidate has. We’ll see who it comes down to and perhaps I’ll be fully back on the Bernie Bus, but I do want to see what the field offers. What I like about Bernie is that I know he’s serious about healthcare and gross wealth inequality.
I pains me to think what could have been in 2016 and what we got instead. True.
It's always sad when someone doesn't realize that they had a great moment (and he did), but that it has passed. He moved the dial for sure, but that doesn't mean he's anything but a spoiler in 2020.
And do we need another old white guy? no. His positions aren't unique anymore, and he hasn't done a good or sufficient job of remedying the sexism in his organization, nor has he succeeded in addressing the lack of diversity in his campaign. He's had years to fix that; no sign he's going to. |
Lol glad someone else noticed that. I’ve lost like 2k karma since I’ve started my crusade against /r/politicalhumor ‘s misinformation campaign.
Amazing how simple truths get bombarded by downvotes here. Keep up the good work buddy. Good people appreciate it. |
Congress bought the idea. Most Americans were not affected by those tax rates at all.
Taxes were not established by the Constitution for regulating economic outcomes between individuals. They were established so the federal government could raise money to operate.
The idea that the federal government has the legal authority to soak up any income it deems excessive is an unconstitutional infringement on the Fifth Amendment. Yep. In the same breath I'd rather take away entitlements that are a cancer on federal spending instead of taxing success.
And before the clowns comment how welfare spending helps the economy (oh the fucking gymnastics you've got to jump through to not see the underlying problem) I distinctly said federal spending.
By the way, I didn't know so many welfare-recipients on Reddit were actually tax accountants and economists in disguise! |
The pantsuit is Teflon. I don’t get why you are worshipping a lady who lost a layup election to Donald Trump. |
This entire sub just wants to downvote those that disagree with them, even reasonable conservative beliefs will get downvoted here. And yet they still call themselves “political” it’s leftist humor at this point. We sacrifice our karma on the cross for the balanced political humor sub we all want. |
Trump insults NYT: redditors extremely angry, Trump is enemy of the people
AOC insults CNN: redditors rejoice as brave poltician stands up to evil news corporation
Good job everyone! they both reactionary gabage |
jesus, are bernie supporters going to be just as annoying and cultish as trump ones ? Definitely. |
That, and the time before 1913 was 0%. Just because that worked then doesn't mean it will now, these are pointless arguments. Right no one deserves a 70% tax. Outright theft |
Lamest "authoritarian" in history. AOC wouldn't even be allowed to speak like this if he was actually an authoritarian.
In reality, Trump is simply heading up the executive branch which has little power not given to it by Congress and Democrats are living in a fantasy world where they role play oppressed people while thumbing their noses at actually oppressed people. I’m trying to understand this also, on what basis can he be called "authoritarian". Apparently this is mainly because of his decision making process (not sure if that’s actually classical definition of authoritarian). As you note, authoritarianism won’t get you far in US because any individual (even POTUS) has very little power and you need broad agreement to do much of anything. His actual policies seem (mostly) polar opposite of authoritarian but the manner in which they achieved maybe could be considered authoritarian. |
Yep looks like Trump is gonna get away with all of it.
No more mueller indictments if he’s really finishing up. What an unbelievable travesty. How can someone get away with crimes that don't exist? They only exist in your head |
Fake or false propaganda is the enemy of the people. You’re getting the same response to a factual statement. None of the people that have the cookie cutter response probably even live in the states let alone care about what we’re talking about. That actuality of it, like presidents passing laws to make propaganda legal. |
I'd say the same to you. It's my job as a PI to run investigations and I know for a fact the media isn't practicing real journalism anymore.
You don't have to be a private investigator to see that the media is nothing but a propaganda machine these days. Everyone here on /r/politics have let themselves be blinded by their hatred of Trump. Don't let your emotions blind you from the fact that some things the idiot president says have truth to them.
It's not just the NYT. It's the entire media empire. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc.. The media has been monopolized into a handful of small companies with financial gain as their primary goal.
It's people like the commenters in this sub that eat up all this bullshit that keep it coming. It's not journalism. It's propaganda. Plain and simple. Use your common sense.
edit: I don't need to hear meaningless insults from strangers. If you disagree with me let's discuss it right here in the comments so we can understand where the other is coming from. The hero we need in this comment section. People need to stop being so partisan and question everything - especially if you can overwhelmingly agree with it. |
as if that matters one fucking iota. ooo. mass protests. won't Bill Barr be concerned then! gosh. several days of CNN reports! how will he withstand it? Lol was thinking the same thing.
We are going to protest and write some strongly worded letters omg !!
Get er done |
Really?
Sex denotes a biological function. That function is either
1. providing the sperm (male)
2. Providing the egg cell and carrying the offspring.
That is it. Everything else or inbetween is not a sex, but an accident (harsh, I know).
Saying sex is non-binary is like saying "cancer is healthy." I don’t really understand this either. Since it’s a new claim you would think the burden of proof is on them?
Edit: I don’t mind the downvotes, but I would like to maybe start a conversation on the topic. As far as I know there’s male, female, hermaphrodites (some of each to varying degree) and eunech (lack of sex). Is there something I’m missing? |
Here come the reflexive moderates to malign a Marxist Jamaican college professor and call him a conservative or a bad father. Literally every other comment in this thread.
We need to listen to minorities, unless one is a leftist that says Harris is disingenuous, in which case were going to call him a deadbeat father. |
Wow, how much Student Debt would I have to take on to write that kind of word vomit? Alas, you're being downvoted for a dismissive attitude towards college education, which is a shame because I agree the submission statement is poorly written, and I also agree that academics too often get away with being poor writers.
Much better would be:
Racial politics today echo Catholic mythology. 'Whites' grapple with privilege as their original sin, converts tar the orthodoxy's questioners as "problematic" blasphemers, and almost everyone looks forward to a Judgment Day when America "comes to terms" with race.
Smollett plays 'the black-American victim' as a status symbol in this narrative. He is a persecuted prophet, attesting to white racism's harm, and pointing to a future in which his oppressors' sin will be redeemed. He attempts to invert the actual hierarchy into a social hierarchy by appearing noble in his suffering. |
People who compare Smollett to Mueller are disgusting.
Trump is only in power because of the Russians and because the white working class is extremely racist. > Trump is only in power because of the Russians
Lol, WHAT??? Cite your sources please. The Senate's exhaustive probe on the topic would seem to disagree with your unhinged comment. |
Diane Abbott, of course Not possible, this would make her the 12th and we know she'd run out of fingers counting that high. |
journalists, economists, and historians are not at all the same as scientists. in fact, people in those 3 professions base their careers around asserting and defending their worldview
so in other words: yes we should listen to scientists about issues they are experts in, but no we have no obligation to obey pundits Academia is corrupt |
Not sad and not true. And without citing specific examples you can't even mount an argument. So you are essentially hoping that people will believe this. Dude they’re still just mad about a loss three years ago. And they’ll be mad in another👌🏻🧖🏿♂️ |
Just saying that ignorance or the perspectives of Trump supporters/voters and the constant insulting of them are both factors that lead to him winning the election. Most right wingers see through the tactic that calling somebody racist/sexist/xphobic is a shitty way to shut down discussion altogether than actually fighting to the end for the real facts. |
Geez if only cars had registration and you can own a tank and call it a car. If only you needed license to drive a car. If only your license got suspended for reckless driving.
Yeah this comparison is totally valid. Spot on! Honestly I really do think we need to treat guns like cars. |
Best Russian Ever edit: lol. people took this seriously Black Communists propagandist were present back in da day. |
They aren't scared of her, she is just vocal about her beliefs and is still quite inexperienced which causes her to make mistakes so she makes an easy target. The echo chamber in /r/politics is really remarkable. It's one thing for people not realize how ill-informed she is but the ignorance of the fact that she is a very radical figure who is really helpful in rallying the Republican base is so fascinating. |
Bernie is a career politician and a multi millionaire with lots of idiot followers, ftfy A man that does not practice what he preaches.
Bernie is a fraud. |
You guys have such a victim complex. It sort of logically follows, can you imagine anyone who isn't a whiny baby supporting trump? |
Everyone has an agenda. Most of the disciplines in the post are open to abuse, same as anything else. Scientists believed eugenics was a good thing, for example, and it was practised in the USA. Journalists certainly do have a narrative, just look at the publicity white on black crime gets, despite the opposite being overwhelmingly more prevalent. But eugenics is a good thing... |
Didn't markets cause the climate problem? How is betos policy any better than Obama's or anyone before him ie half measures easily subverted by capital interests?
I'm asking these questions because though I'm certain nobody here has an answer that doesn't involve banning me or telling me to fuck off back to whatever sub in my post history they find most objectionable, I'm hoping some of you will actually read them and ask yourself:
After so many failed years of neoliberalism bringing us to the brink of destruction, how will more neoliberalism dig us out?
EDIT: Please hit me with some salty downvotes too, please. The fact you disagree but can't articulate why is my entire point. T-t-that's not *real* neoliberalism!!11! The market will correct itself and fix climate change... when civilization has collapsed and we're foraging for dirt grubs for sustenance. |
He has no chance in the primary, either. Then I'm out, heading Green |
[OP is obsessed with Jussie.](https://i.imgur.com/md9UJnB.jpg) What's the dude's story? He's blasting that shit all over the place like Jussie raped his brother or something. Seems like he has a rep here. Or should I just quietly back away and be glad to not get involved? |
Also, he wasn't the aggressor Yea but he was standing there smiling. Don't you know that's racist nowadays? I mean he was being a white male right in front of all those people. Did you even watch the video? |
Sounds like Democrats don't like having to adhere to the standards in which they attempt to hold others. This article is grade A fucking shilling and propaganda. |
Hopefully Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper is looking out for us i don't trust that albino dick wad any more any cucker tarlson... |
At this point I'm convinced that both sides would vote for a toaster if it ensured that the opposition didn't win. Toaster is smarter than “free” stuff for every one Bernie. That’s forsure |
That's all the right has is weaponizing things by ignoring context In case you haven’t noticed, it works for them really well. |
I see what looks like a legitimate post from police and no evidence pointing otherwise? Care to share any information for those of us that are apparently un-informed? Benchmade’s website clearly states that they cannot contribute to political campaigns. https://www.benchmade.com/charitable-contributions
After digging deeper into the other guys post above about the open secrets.org about political contributions, it sows that all contributions were from individuals and totals less than $8K. I won’t boycott a company based on who their employees contribute money to.
As far as the $120,000 lobbying costs is 2018 was for Misc Manufacturing and Distribution. Other companies that spent lobby money on this cause in the same year:
Smith and Wesson
Trijicon
Heckler & Koch
And some 300 other companies across all kinds of industries.
Link - https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/indusclient.php?id=N15&year=2018
I’ll continue to buy their products.
Edit : most police/sheriff departments must destroy firearms. Don’t like it? Do something about it. In the meantime, the departments must hire contractors to do the job. Bemchemade either charged them to do it, or maybe they did it at no cost to help the department. I have not idea. I don’t like the fact that they must be destroyed, but Benchmade is providing a service. |
Trump supporter here, this sub is far cringier than it is funny, but this was relevant, sharp and witty. +1 to the Op’s meme Agree |
"Efforts to Stop Investigation"...
But did he "Stop the Investigation"? When did the un-masking of the wire tapping on Trump begin? Was it when he was challenging O's birth certificate? 4 years before the election? So 6 years of digging and all we have is allegations of "Efforts to Stop Investigation"... Glad we cleared that up... Last one out turn the lights out... Schiff is already trying to prep the frothing base for the big fat nothing burger coming from Mueller next week. |
This was a terrible interview.
Tucker brought this guy onto his show, tried to have a conversation with him, ask him questions, and hear his views (which Tucker sounded sympathetic to), and all this guy did is go on a tirade and accused Tucker and everyone else at Fox News is bought and paid for. Then Tucker was apparently too thin skinned and went on a rant.
No interview took place. No points of views were backed with evidence. This was a terrible display of conversation.
e.g.
Historian: "Taxes used to be 70-90%"
Tucker: "The economy use to be based on manufacturing and was completely different then. Do you think this would work?"
Historian: "America is the most powerful country. It could easily crack down on tax paradises....Trump is a tax avoider and all you do is scapegoat immigrants" (didn't answer question). "and you are bought by the billionaires and take their dirty money". People love downvoting you without rebutting or giving a decent response as to why. Good ole reddit politics |
Trump supporter here, this sub is far cringier than it is funny, but this was relevant, sharp and witty. +1 to the Op’s meme Still downvoted lol |
Sounds like a credible source... Entire story is a lie .. pack it up folks. |
I have. The deal was rejected thoroughly and she’s been trying to get the EU to back down from their cliff edge by agreeing to backstop changes. Yeah. I don't understand why people are so pissed off about this.
They accuse May of being a zealot and refusing to compromise when but refuse to acknowledge that the EU is also a zealot and is refusing to compromise as well.
At least May is making an effort to seek a solution over the Irish border. Which is a lot more than you can say about the EU or Varadkhar. |
\* Labour Youth *Hitler Youth. |
That great and all dems.
But remember that your job isn’t simply to frustrate the Moron.
Damage control is only part of the job...
How about passing bills that help the American people as well? Get the ball rolling. Trump is already doing that, and dems are against everything Trump is for. |
The left can't meme v.2049578357 This is sub is prime cringe and I'm loving it. |
In case you haven’t noticed, it works for them really well. anti-intellectualism will always have a place amongst the [right-wing authoritarians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_authoritarianism). |
What exactly do we they need to 'learn'?
Kids are aware of gay people. Gay people are aware they are gay.
What are these lessons? A diagram of how to hit the g spot in someones arse? Plus at what point will all these side subjects impact their time learning core subjects like English/Maths/Science. |
Is it not more that Tucker pointed out the US economy is vastly different so the same tax plan might not necessarily be better? Then Bergman dismissing that claiming it's actually that simple.
And then trying to assert that Tuckers reluctance to accept high marginal tax rates was due to cronyism and not political philosophy?
I mean if you're going to insult someone you can't be surprised when they insult you back. It's actually funny to me when passive aggressive people get curse out and then act outraged.
Top post on r/all said something ridiculous like, "Tucker Carlson Rant caught on tape". So disingenous. |
Remember that time /r/politics mods removed all articles about Jussie Smollett being charged with filing a false police report after faking a hate crime against Trump supporters under the guise that it's "not political" yet it was completely on topic when they bought the narrative?
Oh yeah, and here's a list other hate crime hoaxes where Trump supporters were blamed:
* Right after Donald Trump’s election, a pro-gay Episcopal church in Indiana was vandalized w/“Heil Trump,” a swastika, & an anti-gay slur. Turns out it was the gay organ player who did it. He was only charged w/a misdemeanor. [Link](http://archive.fo/rhrM2)
* Days after the Pittsburgh massacre, Trump supporters were blamed for Nazi vandalism at a Brooklyn synagogue & fires in a Jewish community. Turns out the perpetrator was a gay black man who had worked with city council on an initiative to fight hate crimes. [Link](http://archive.fo/g4MjX)
* One week before the presidential election, a black church in Mississippi was burned in an arson attack. “Vote Trump” was written on the building. After much panic, an investigation revealed that the man responsible was a church member. Andrew McClinton. [Link](http://archive.fo/JdWwY)
* In Nov 2016 a Muslim student at the University of Louisiana said two white racist Trump supporters brutally assaulted her, ripped off her hijab, & robbed her. The story went viral. It was a lie. Media never identified her by name after hoax was revealed. [Link](https://www.klfy.com/amp/news/lafayette-pd-ul-student-made-up-story-about-attack-stolen-hijab/872671082)
* NYPD arrest Muslim woman who claimed attack by Trump supporters. [Link](http://archive.fo/Rn9yY)
**EDIT: LMAO!!! "Do you have any idea how many people are killed by Trump inspired hate? I don't have any examples but I am sure there is lots because I suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome." - /r/politics** Upvoted, simply because I disagree with news censorship in more or less all cases, regardless of motivation. In situations such as the ones mentioned, I think it is necessary to publicize the correction as much as the original news, lest public perception be tainted and thereby detract from true and proper outrage at the state of the world.
I do not necessarily agree with the intent of this post, and the citations are less than ideal. Still, it is important to remember that hoaxes do happen, and to take developing stories with a grain of caution. I was upset to hear the update on the Smollett case, because I was irate upon reading the initial report, which it now seems was based upon deception. The emotion that the original information provoked was invalidated, and that is frustrating, but rightly so. That said, I will admit that in current times, such news can in part be a small comfort - that the world is not quite so bleak as it seemed yesterday.
It is naive to think that modern news delivery will ever be truly void of a constructed message or story, but the distribution of fact is to the overall benefit of the world. All we can do is attempt to incorporate new information into our worldview as it becomes available, and strive to align our understanding of the world with objective reality. So I thank you for helping to generally improve the world, even though I suspect that the intent of your action is to create a narrative that I do not agree with. |
Did you guys even read the article? The article uses a report on data from 2017. It wasn't even officially repealed until 2018. This sub is beyond retarded. This sub is filled with paid shills, main reason you are getting down voted for pointing that out. |
Cause it’s fake maybe? Why is the coast guard, an American military branch, plotting to assassinate Democrat politicians? On the day after a Hollywood actor with support from top Dems caught hoaxing a hate crime..interesting |
So.... they're attracted to animals. Can your dog talk? No? Then they aren't. |
>If a single poor person has a smart phone, poverty isn’t real 🇺🇸
The worst part of capitalism is that it's too successful. It makes everyone lose perspective of just how good they have it compared to earlier times (even in their own lifetime).
Poor people today are more wealthy than the richest people in the world 100 years ago... (Wealth and money are not the same thing)
As for the rest of this meme, it's correct that single instances doesn't prove trends however we're not basing our criticisms on single instances. Amen. Skepticism is warranted for every claim in that list. The list reads like a reassertion of articles of faith. “Satan may have tricked us again but do not waiver in your righteous beliefs!” |
The man has fulfilled more campaign promises in two years than any other president I can think of!! Pulling out of the Paris climate accord, deregulation(which is directly shown by our soaring stock market), prison reform, veterans choice. Wish I had more time to keep going, but gotta get back to work👍🏻🇺🇸 This! At least there are some people here who haven't totally lost it and can see that he is trying his best. If the democrats didn't fight his every move we would have a lot more progress at this point. |
Antifa says hi.
Edit: I can’t believe people are actually defending antifa in response to me...this sub is bonkers. Buuurn ha ha.
To the poster below(stupid 10-minutes-to-protect-feefs rule): go get some ICE son :))) |
How the hell is this world News?
We don't even know who the hell Tucker Carlson is.
I read every single comment and my guess is that this is completely irrelevant to anyone not from the US. Yet all the idiot libs are downvoting you for not joining in their anti trump lynch mob. |
> Do you think making a sticky thread for new and ongoing controversial issues like this to explain what's currently happening?
>
>
We ask users to direct policy questions to mod mail, and we addressed *many* inquiries about this story there yesterday evening. Running a continuous thread for these types of inquiries doesn't strike me as feasible - meta threads which we hold eat up an enormous amount of time and energy, and we just don't have the resources to do that on a continuous basis.
In this case, the volume of users who were confused or disagreed with our decision making was substantially higher than normal - we might discuss ways we could sidebar extremely active or contentious discussions like that in the future, based on how this story has progressed. Just to be that guy here on reddit.
Mods are just people. Be nice.
With that said. They dont have perfect ethical skills. They may have handled things wrong. They could be a dog!
So take this whole thread with a grain of salt |
#YOU SAID SOME DUMB SHIT AND GOT BANNED FROM A SUB SO YOU COME CRY HERE?
#LOL YOU WEAK PATHETIC MANLET Good bot |
Our rules have always made a distinction between "political" and "politics". In our current climate, many things are "political". To draw some type of distinction and scope for this subreddit, it's necessary to draw the line *somewhere*, and the reality is that wherever we draw that line will make people unhappy. For example, we have gotten countless modmails over the past 48 hours regarding the Jussie Smollett story, and that it should be allowed because it is political. Now, to a lot of us, we would just say most of those articles are about a person who did a dumb thing and is obviously not politics, but a substantial amount of people have disagreed.
Look, people have this idea that we're some cabal of ~50 *exactly* like-minded and opinionated individuals (somehow, a pretty extraordinary feat if that were the case) who are working in tandem to "censor" stories we, I don't know, dislike? The truth is we err on the side of leaving stories, in fact we've sought out submissions many times in the past for users that would meet our on-topic guidelines so they would be able to post the story.
We know it can suck when an article gets removed that people like or think is important, but we can't moderate by turning our head away from our rules when we or when users see fit. We work really hard to have consistent and objective standards - and that means that sometimes users are going to agree or disagree on the action we take but at least we're trying to be consistent and not just making judgments based on our personal opinions.
In the past day we'll get one modmail telling us we are nazi's for "censoring" this story, and the next modmail will say we are liberal shills or whatever for not allowing Jussie Smollet stories. It's been nuts. I wish people could see that and take it into consideration before jumping to the worst possible conclusions and at least be thankful on some level that we place such a huge emphasis on upholding our rules even when people disagree, and that we don't break from those rules when many people strongly disagree. I don't think, and I would sincerely hope, that that is the subreddit people want, because if we made every decision based on whether we or our users personally agreed with or enjoyed the content, not only would that be blatantly partisan, but there would come a time for everyone to fall on the other side of the fence and disagree with a removal or approval and we would just be back to square one. Thank you for all your work as a mod, by the way, and taking the time to deliberate on what is and is not best for the sub and then explaining your decisions (whether we agree with them or not). I wish every subreddit had this.
Edit: Downvotes? Whatever. Downvote away, bitches, I stand by my gratitude. This random dude just wrote out a mini-essay to explain things as best he can about making the best decision he can in an unpaid, thankless job. Props. |
A liberal already attempted this same crime when they shot up a congressional soft ball practice. Both sides have their crazy ones. The same guy who got shot at that softball game also had someone threaten him. That suspect was arrested [with ammo and bomb building manuals](https://www.nola.com/national_politics/2018/08/steve_scalise_carlos_bayon_sea.html) but because your comment is both true and doesn’t fit the narrative, you’re going to get downvoted to hell. As will I.
Edit: Anyone downvoting want to give a reason? |
This all hinges on McCabe telling the truth. Do we believe him now? idk man he's selling a book... what possible incentives would he have to state an opinion that triggers most of Reddit's confirmation bias?? |
Mass drug affordability for mundane medical issues but no research, strict rationing, waiting lists for urgent treatment, extremely limited access to specialists and an inefficient bureaucracy.
vs
Expensive care, a system that is constantly researching and producing new therapies and no waiting lists or rationing once you have the money.
​
Neither system is perfect.
​ Why does this guy get downvoted for trying to post an objective question. He wasn't even taking sides. You freaking leftist Nazis... And no I'm not a right winger. |
is that such a great idea? empty the weapon without knowing if the threat is over? Fairly certain the threat was over after the 3rd round. |
I live in the midwest. We have zero crime, nice jobs, and cost of living is low. Why don't minorities stuck in urban ruts branch out and come live here with us more often? It's an honest question, I want to know why. maybe the reason you have low crime and nice jobs is due in large part to the absence of toxic black culture |
I live in the midwest. We have zero crime, nice jobs, and cost of living is low. Why don't minorities stuck in urban ruts branch out and come live here with us more often? It's an honest question, I want to know why. Be careful for what you wish for or that first point might go away. |
The left is unhinged or low IQ. According to this logic Hitler and Stalin were good scandal and indictment free citizens but all their enemies were criminals bc they were indicted by the courts and given show trials prior to imprisonment and/or execution. First logical post in here.... |
maybe the reason you have low crime and nice jobs is due in large part to the absence of toxic black culture Haha, they don’t like the truth. They invented peanut butter! |
I’d say more of whatever they did to catch this guy should work.
Did they have proof he was going to kill people? A list of names could be just that. Maybe there’s more to it that hasn’t been released yet.
The picture with the guns, that’s not uncommon. Loads of people collect guns and have a closest that looks just like that. Lots of hard working patriots have collections just the same. >The picture with the guns, that’s not uncommon. Loads of people collect guns and have a closest that looks just like that.

Couldn't agree more. It's sickening the hit job they are doing on this guy. We have no idea of context for any of this. |
Why should I care ? It's twitter... Trump has turned it into 'texting for losers'. Right, why are there Government Twitter Accounts? Twitter is a private company, the government is not entitled to twitter accounts.
Next weeks article is going to be Why Can Former White House Officials Still Join the Government Yahoo Fantasy Football Group? |

Mental health issues would be covered in his universal health care plan. He supports automatic voter registration and ending gerrymandering, so that would help reduce corruption. His campaign does address "countless other things". Your post makes no sense. Not to mention gun show loop holes. Which result in more crimes committed using weapons so less gun crimes in the news. Which means less reasons for people wanting to take your guns. Even a lot of Republicans agree on the gun laws he is for. Sorry you like shooting guns buuuut they will never take your guns lol legit that's something that Republicans will never let happen. No need for all these guys to get scared |
I wouldn't be suprised if Trump sent assassins to kill her
Edit: Oh look, I triggered some Drumpf supporters You’re disgusting. And no Trump supporter is happy about this. The wall is to hope we can keep things like this happening in the future, whether you want the wall to go up or not, this stuff happen and it will continue to happen. Will a wall stop 100% of it? No. But it will help. |
Well, if Hillary was in office you would have gotten an actual criminal. The only difference between trump and Hillary is the gender of the person |
The only difference between trump and Hillary is the gender of the person Nah, hillary is a criminal, Trump isn't, he didn't do anything to get impeached. |
I pay $12 a week for my insurance, that includes dental, vision, life, disability, etc. What I’m pissed about is that 20% of the each paycheck is going to useless programs like Social Security and Medicare that I don’t need, and am never going to be able to use because politicians on both sides keep dipping into it like it’s their piggy bank. r/technicallythetruth |
r/technicallythetruth I know, all these idiots pretending like it hasn’t been happening since Reagan, and like the Boomers aren’t going to suck dry what’s left off SSB and Medicade |
I have to ask... does the timing of this give none of you pause? Nobody spends even a moment wondering that literally the day after a high profile hate crime is demonstrated to be a hoax we have this story pop up with a whole lot of hyperbole and almost nothing in the way of facts? I mean, I know I am pissing into the wind in this sub... but really... nobody? Not even the question? One Ad Hom, two assertions about statements I did not make and 23 cowards down voting without comment. As expected. Carry on. |
I know, all these idiots pretending like it hasn’t been happening since Reagan, and like the Boomers aren’t going to suck dry what’s left off SSB and Medicade It just doesn’t fit their narrative that governments will save us and make everything great. The people who need to look at their views are socialist utopian thinkers |

Not saying it’s wrong to try for universal healthcare in the US, but these bastions of “free” healthcare do not have the same population issues as the US, so it’s not really a fair comparison. Why is this not higher up on the responses? Economic scale is off by a decimal position... |
What advice could she offer? The only election she has ever won was handed to her on a silver platter. "Drop out and let Bernie take the lead. All this fighting in the party is killing us. Trust me." |
This supposed to be humor ? Where is the joke ? The left subs are unfunny places to reside in.
Trup bad, funny ha ha ha (robot voice) It's no secret that the far left can't meme. We need a political humor sub that can make people laugh at everything. (please point me to one if it exists!) |
Shouldn't all GOP winning elections be contested? Just to make sure... New elections until we win

I still think Mueller is going to deliver a limp dick report and we have to suffer this fool for two more years. America usually treats its presidents extremely well. Mueller is a Republican. Why don't people understand this?
His purpose was to insulate his president from investigations for 2+ years by sucking them all up to be under his own investigation. Indict a few scapegoats for Trump to pardon and poof, all gone. |
I think this is the opposite. He's not intimidating republicans. He's pleading with them to finally stop putting party before the nation. As long as McConnell is in charge, Schiff can't do anything. And if Mueller's report is a "dud" as ~~everyone~~ several political pundits on MSNBC and CNN are now speculating it to be, (chuck Rosenberg, James clapper), then Schiff is doubly powerless. He knows it.
He's going to have hearings and going to drag out every single drop of the dirty laundry in the open, and he's asking republicans to not frame it as "partisan attacks" and acknowledge reality. And you know what? It's guaranteed to fall on deaf ears. They don't care.
edit: lol ok that got downvoted to hell. Why? what did I say that was wrong? Do you guys think republicans will actually stand up and do the right thing for once?
edit2: the "dud" prediction was from a ton of pundits all fucking day saying this shit on MSNBC, CNN, etc. I don't have a source on me. They're all like "I think we need to be prepared that the Mueller report will not bring Trump down" etc. I appreciate your post. Don’t let the downvotes get to you. People like to think the democrats are just the best. They don’t seem to realize that Bernie pushed this entire party left and if they want any chance of winning against this gaping asshole, they need to recognize that, forget what politics used to be and make our constituents fight for us. While republicans certainly are infinitely worse, don’t think these 30 year senators and congressmen haven’t been rubbing elbows in some awful prole sale that made us all slaves to hegemony. |
I chuckled a little.
That little old woman is tough. Made me laugh a lot, insert `not gonna lie they had us in the first half`.
I'm starting to think that this sub isn't what I thought it was. |
Agreed, because we already have a president who is acting like a dictator. I don't want a leader of the other party referred to as royalty According to the r pol neoliberals, it’s ok bc she is dem |
News flash, election and voter fraud occurs on both sides of the aisle. Stop with this "fuck the right" circle jerk and start demanding equal justice for anyone and any party who does it. Stop making this a left vs right is issue. This is an American issue so let's come together and demand the right thing from everybody, regardless of party lines. I keep saying it.. America is an “us vs them” mentality and it’s only getting worse. We have to come together as humans. |
So was Elizabeth Warren false then when making this statement saying the DNC rigged the nomination?
https://youtu.be/XBYnJh45WS8 The silence is deafening lol
The silence is downvoting too 🙃 |
Did you look at the photo? The cross hair isnt over her head its part of the background of a random photo
​
If he actually tweeted a photo with a crosshair over her head hed have additional charges brought up and be in jail right now Thank you. Someone else who is a rational thinker. That shit was just some design on the background behind her.
But other than that, he really had no business posting her picture. |

It’s funny where the lines are drawn on PC vs non-PC verbiage. “That sucks (dick)” clearly derives from homophobic/anti-woman sentiment, but no one will ever call you out for it. Contrast: ‘Paki’ and ‘Jap’ are mere abbreviations. Is it racist to want to save yourself a syllable or two? Most people would say no, at least in the abstract. Shh or they will take "sucks" away too. Clearly the implication is to go suck an egg. |
Earth to Schiff and any democrat that thinks bipartisanship is still a thing.... the people you are appealing to are worse than Trump. Wake up. They know what Trump is and what he is doing and are using him and your dumb asses to get “their” agenda through. While you are pandering for bipartisanship they are packing the courts and stabbing your dumb ass in the back. If you cannot defend congress without their help and support step down and say so. Look how tribal you are |
I wouldn't exactly jump on Republicans as the sole reason we have become dumber.
The main reason is actually boomer parents that started blaming schools for failures instead of themselves and their own children. They pushed schools into lawsuit corners to make school easier and easier and produce less and less critical thinkers and more fragile and easily manipulated morons.
On top of that, Liberal minded teachers, counselors, and administrators have had an influence on creating safe spaces and promoting kindness above all. Our schools are literally trying to eradicate conflict, which is the basis of critical thought. Critical thinking emerges out of discomfort. Liberals are very guilty of making children too comfortable and too soft. Shhh, you're not supposed to talk about this. It's against the narrative. |

It'd also be nice if we stopped treating a document written by a bunch of dudes over a century ago like it's sacred.
It is normal to modify a country's constitution as necessary based on social and technological changes.
The opinions of the founders and the framers are irrelevant at this point. They are long dead and their opinions on things don't matter. THANK YOU! |
I'd volunteer for that if it came with a settlement. Stop whining. Waaahh poor criminals gettung punished for scumbags, noo bad they dont deserve to be punished they are sad prople who have rights to criminals. I wrote a commie paper on how criminals need more handouts and people who work hard for a living need to be punished... waaahh |
