wilders and the RW Austrian I'm drawing a blank on too pretty sure it was mentioned but Le Pen getting ~5% in a city where there have been recent terrorist attacks is reassuring
Want to go on TigerIllustrated and state we should follow NOs lead and destroy all confederate monuments. I'm sure responses will be measured and rational
Should've had Kush out there with Elderly Lego VP, I bet NK would've just dropped their weapons and surrendered.
i think some reddit people were saying that vest had to have been given to kushner as a joke because of how small it is on him seems like generally you wouldn't want shrapnel to be able to fly into your gut but
I can imagine the onion writing a version of this situation with diamond Joe Biden and it being hysterical. but this is real life. I'm not sure which is funnier.
I think it speaks volumes to the shit we're in that this is now by far my most checked thread on TMB. I never went in a political thread during Barry's administration unless there was a huge piece of news. Now I catch up on this several times daily to make sure I don't miss a thing.
Right. I think they need dems in the house because the freedom Caucus is doing freedom Caucus things. Won't they just rewrite the rules to bust any filibuster attempts?
There's a 51 year old gay man in Manhattan that walks around the city taking donations for PP, Trevor Project, and other causes. He calls himself Mike Hot-Pence.
the funniest thing about mike pence is that he takes himself seriously. like he literally thought that standing there looking at the DMZ was going to prove a point to the north koreans.
If this is true, that is a race problem. All things being equal it is better to white in America. Only white people (I know you aren't) truly get to argue race doesn't matter.
Great, were going to have a war with an sociopath who thinks war is a way to show how tough a guy he is and that his country shouldn't be messed with. Spoiler And who knows what kind of crazy Kim Jung Un is bringing to this thing?
I PROTEST AGAINST ANYONE IN THIS THRED EVER AGAIN GOING INTO A FOOTBALL THRED AFTER POSTING HERE . IT WILL NEVER MIX.
Despite the fact that if NK started anything we'd wipe their military out (barring Chinese interference) you're probably looking at 5-10k US casualties in the first day or two.
It would be interesting. Might even get notable white supremacist, Bosse De Nage to weigh in. Right now their is a debate on if the Civil War was actually a Civil War.
It just blows my mind that Kushner is talking to the most powerful and revered military minds in the world and his opinion will actually matter in developing our foreign policy. I don't even know what to compare that to historically.
Watch last night's Last Week Tonight on youtube. It's fair to him as a person but touches on the lack of qualifications.
No doubt but battling classism is an easier way to get all people on board. Using racism as a platform divides your potential forces. There are far more poor white people in America than poor black people and for some reason they're all voting republican. A lot of poor rural white people are racist as fuck. Fuck them for that view, but their vote matters in a democratic system. Become the party of the worker again, from a marketing standpoint, and you can battle racism through actual policy. Because democrats will run the government from the bottom up if we can get poor white people back on board.
That time when Ford was President, Nixon was in the White House, and FDR was running this country into the ground.
It's been touched on ITT. a couple of times but it's simple why it happens. Poor whites are told and believe that while they are poor at least they are white. They believe that there is a tangible benefit to being white and not an other. When that gets threaten they get scared. Not unlike men with the power over women gets threaten. Now changing those ways of looking at shit is the difficult thing. Telling poor whites they have more in common with other poor people than they do with rich whites is what needs to happen. But, when the GOP keeps pushing that separatist drum that might never happen.
I'll bet everything that a NK nuke would not get close to our fleet. Again, I believe you're underestimating our capabilities.
I just think democrats just take the bait too often when republicans push the narrative that way and it plays into their hands. Stay on point with your economic message and republicans have no ammunition besides fucking bootstraps, which doesn't play as well with poor people who know the ways they are gamed by the system.
I think we are going to to go around in circles on an issue we probably agree on. I think class is a bigger issue than race I just don't know how to get poor whites to understand that. This past election illustrates how important it is to get them to see that.
That estimated casualty count seems kind of low considering all the shit at NK disposal and the fact that their leader seems to be maniacal enough to use nukes and everything else he has on hand.
Fox News has too much influence on poor whites and middle class whites alike, this is a huge issue to overcome.
I mean, I don't think we've ever had a president that was jealous of someone that gets to see his own daughter naked but here we are.
