Ding Dong.....the US Politics Thread (Part 1)

haven’t really enjoyed your endless stream of neocon scumbags. kristol & frum are repulsive iraq war cheerleaders; tom nichols is a pompous blowhard. you said it was ‘privileged’ not to vote for doddering warmonger rapist biden, and you’re in here worried about NATO. they were a big help to the armenians lol (and funny how the EU brigade doesn’t hold their precious ukrainian neo-nazis to the same standard they did corbyn on anti-semitism)

this thread is really a nauseating liberal bubble. particularly rich for people who chose boris johnson over corbyn to pontificate on the racism of americans–especially when trump gained vote share from 2016 with every group but white men, and biden himself is a segregationist bastard

biden–a right-wing austerity enthusiast who ran around praising republicans and trumpeting endorsements from ghouls like kasich, rick snyder, and cindy mccain–was predictably utterly toxic to downballot races, but somehow that’s the left’s fault. half a billion dollars funneled to schumer’s handpicked centrist senate candidates who all shit the bed–let’s get corrupt, bumbling clown clyburn in front of the cameras to lie and blame activists for that. (defund the police peaked in june; lobbyist slimeball harrison’s support cratered in october after fossil feinstein hugged lindsey graham.) almost $100 million to amy mcgrath so she could run pro-trump ads that aired in neighboring ohio and lose by 20 points to mitch mcconnell

biden got $200k for a speech in which he endorsed upton in 2018–but great example

tlaib and omar ignored the galaxy brain consultants who said doorknocking was obsolete to pound the pavement in detroit & minnesota, and what do they get for their efforts? libs siding with the racist grifters of the lincoln project–who failed spectacularly at everything but lining their own pockets–against them

they’ve been using pelosi in negative ads for 20 years. the difference between her and ocasio-cortez is that ocasio-cortez actually has appeal beyond the donor class

people who called bernie sanders racist for five years rallying around the ‘former’ CIA white lady spanberger and her left-punching

biden named third way goon ron klain as chief of staff, upward-failing weasel ossoff coming out against m4a and for ICE. i’m so glad i didn’t vote for these goons

That’s brilliant. Now I’m sad that there’s nowhere named after the 100 who settled a saxon farmstead.

Who knows? There might be. A lot of English place names have long ago left their original meaning behind.

Jeez :astonished:

Someone in WH has been following elections here. :flushed:

Hardly. Republican ratfuckery has a long pedigree of brilliant, insightful, and creative people using their talents to completely derail the electoral process. Read up on Lee Atwater for a past master. The internet just made it cheap and easy.

And I am not really enjoying talking to you. You have so little knowledge and only talk in “blow hard mode”. I don’t really care about what you are enjoying, you don’t have the intellect to understand that you will understand the world better when you look at it from several prisms and not only one. Neo-conservatism isn’t my own prism, but I am intelligent enough to know that conservatives can better be understood if you dig deep into their own intellectual matter. As for Johnson, most people in this thread who are British didn’t vote for Johnson. Only select few on this forum did.
As for Donbas and Nagorno-Karabagh, you don’t know anything about those conflicts, not like I know them anyway, and so no simplistic sound-byte you say make an impression on me, as I am not going to be provoked into a debate on those geopolitical conflicts with someone like you.
Your rhetoric is just simply stupid and anti-intellectual.
If you look in the mirror you would see a man who is directly responsible for the US election being so narrow that Trumplandia can got ammo for their anti-democratic legal coup attempts.
You don’t have the capacity to understand degrees of positives and negatives, to mirror the world in grey and not black and white and therefore you are not interesting to argue with.

I love that liberal is now used as an attack from the online left. The Judean People’s Front/People’s Front of Judah scene was not supposed to be a how to guide.

I would have gone with ‘jam out of the donut’, but yes…

As a Canadian, we are offended by that expression. Doughnuts are not to be violated in such a fashion, and definitely not spelled ‘donut’.

I honestly thought about the other spelling but just went with the lazy option…

LOL.

Welcome back @DioufGates. Nice to see your wasting no time.

There’s some semblance of admiration for someone making their return to the community to not bother wasting time putting their toe in the water.

Most people are centrists who have both left and right wing perspectives depending on the issues at hand.

Getting upset with anyone who isn’t approaching every topic from a left wing perspective is probably not going to lead to much productive debate.

If you believe the bible to be true, you also believe that all of your leaders are chosen by god. Romans 13:1.

Loved explaining to my deeply catholic Labour loving parents that god appointed Boris :wink:

The pope and reigning Catholic theology does not interpret the bible littererally though, while some Protestant denominations do indeed interpret it fundamentally. For instance, the Catholic church making allowances for science, for instance theistic evolution, is different from Pentecostals who believe that this is impossible, and that the earth is only 5000-7000 years. Besides, the Romans are the letters of Paulus, and while he is believed theologically to be directly inspired by God, conventional theology allows for interpretation since these letters are viewed to differ greatly in authority from the Evangeliums.
As far as I remember anyway. I am not a Catholic, haven’t been raised as a Catholic, so I have no expertise. I just studied religion and thus bible history for a year, as part of my college education. But I have a very imperfect memory. But I am pretty sure what I wrote above conforms with Catholic dogma.

Catholics hold the bible to be true unless I missed something in 16 years of indoctrination.

Which is ironic given the huge number of problems that that fact throws up. False idols being critical here.
