    um. actually I don't want to believe anything. I'd rather not have to deal with the blowback from the coke addled child of Biden and their familial crime. Just like I can't believe that Hillary sucked that much oxygen out of the universe over her career. I don't want to believe. I just recognize the facts. Facts don't require belief, they just are. Unlike the fantasy that HRC herself brewed up last election cycle which relied on actual foreign intelligence disinformation. What I believe in are concepts, like equality under the law. Fairness for all, not these disjointed rules for thee but not for me BS standards the left so enjoy. And that really is the difference I think. I believe in the concept of the nation, not the amount of artificial protection the government can be forced to protect my illegal BS with. And aren't we seeing that today?

    Answer this. What would your position have been had CNN, ABC, NBC, NYTs, et all NOT reported the Steele dossier? Would you have been ok had the world most influential platforms simply stifled that fantasy story as they probably should have in 2016? You want to paint yourself as pious but your obvious partisanship is showing hon. Ask why the MSM didn't want to protect Trump first, before you cast aspersions today.

    Eh, the militant LW will do nothing if Biden wins once their crony corporate masters call them off. Pigs don't squeal when their mouths are full at the trough, and a "mainstream" regime (of either party, ANYTHING but Trump or something similar in their view) will instantly and curiously quiet the hordes and shill armies while the people in charge get back to what they do best, enriching themselves by screwing the taxpayers.

    The rank and file of the gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex will go straight back to "capitalist parasitism," are themselves capitalists, want the exact things other capitalists want, and what they really mean when they go on about the "failures of capitalism" is "wait a minute, I deserve affluence with the most trivial amount of work possible, maybe not even showing up at work at all, who's going to pay for that FOR ME at the end of a govt gun barrel?" Half of the posts on this forum that aren't typical LW paid shilling amount to that underneath the surface, some of them have outright admitted they live off grants or similar.

    There are aspects of Democrat policy that a large number of states will simply not tolerate, others caught in complicit states will leave, tax base will be eroded. But most importantly, all their crapola about green new deal and socialism is pablum to fool their young, ignorant female base. They aren't going to do anything other than what their corporate and foreign owners dictate and those won't purposefully screw the economy under a Democrat regime, would need to be organic.

    TLDR? 90% of Democrat policy talk is pure hot air. Once they get back in power it will be like Tony Soprano going door to door collecting for orphans again, THAT transparent. Democrats have ALWAYS been corrupt and unprincipled thugs and liars who will say anything to get power yet DO little, that's ALL they ever will be. Republicans are not much better. Difference is chop off a finger or a whole arm. No way to get out whole.

    Intelligence, to most people- is agreeing with them.
    On the other hand, when a person can see things and do things beyond what most do, it becomes clear that such a person exceeds the others. Whether you like him or agree or not is irrelevant to his level of competence. How you define intelligence is, however- somewhat conversely. You can know a great deal, sound intelligent- and act stupidly because you don't understand what you know.
    When you can accomplish, make correct observations and get results- you are not only intelligent, but wise. That still doesn't make you popular, and can well do the opposite. Many resent others being right, especially when it illustrates they are wrong, so they dare not correct their course.

    Example- California. How can these enlightened, progressive and intelligent people destroy the state with the greatest natural potential in the nation? Botch job that was a natural winner?
    Because they have no idea that knowledge is not understanding or wisdom. They think that if you know you are "smart", then whatever you think should work will work.

    San Francisco has just voted, in the interests of "racial equality", to change school grading practices, so that filing to turn in work on time, AND classroom attitude and behavior- do not impact grades. Thus. students, apparently particularly students of color- could throw feces at teachers and still pass.
    What do they think that aspect of the curriculum will teach? Obviously, that aspect of it didn't occur to them- that, or they are just too smart to give a rat's ass.

    Could well be the definition for stupidity.

    Your view is rational, but I think it’s a little outdated.


    The modern left is much more extreme and deeply committed to those extremes. They are are purging the Democrat Party of everyone who does not cooperate or agree with the far left.

    That’s not all that matters. Who was left out of that recovery matters. The working class was left out. Those who worked to earn their way out of poverty were left out.

    Well, I'm not violent. I suspect I'll do what I've been doing the last 30~ish years. I'll bitch and moan about the president and Congress, and ponder if we might ever have grown ups in DC.

    Comey pretty much came right out and said Hillary committed a crime. "Even though we aren't charging her, that doesn't mean a different person in the exact same circumstances would not be charged."

    What's your point? The Steele dossier was not even released before the 2016 election. If they had played dirty, like Rudy did, they would have released it as an October surprise, whether true or not. This is an apples to oranges comparison.

    Maybe we will have a chance to see soon, but I'll wager that if Biden wins, suddenly all the media fueled gloom and doom and astroturfed activism will shift into low gear near instantaneously. Stay tuned.

    If she committed a crime, then lock her up. She isn't in jail, though, after four years of Trump admin, despite his promises. it is hard to claim that the deep state is protecting her when it is Trump's deep state.

    She did commit a crime. Comey said she did. He said they weren't charging her for it. I believe the reason is because her last name is Clinton.

    Fine with me. As I said, I am no Clinton fan and think we would have been better off if she didn't run in 2016.

    Yes. She's a nightmare that tried to force herself on a people who don't like anything about her.

    The longest in history before a bull market. Slow and steady. As the tortoise would say.

    The lower income people and working class was left out of that recovery. Wages were stagnant and poverty rate rose slightly. The dependent class expanded. That was by design.


    The investor class did well though.

    I don't think I'll be able to cope as the following sounds really boring:

    - another 4 years of free speech
    - another 4 years of babies not being able to be aborted on the 9th month
    - another 4 years of the 2nd ammendment
    - another 4 years of my suburban neighborhood not having tons of new low income housing for prison escapees

    Super boring! GO JOE!

    #1. Trump is cracking down on freedom of the press & speech, by threatening to pull broadcast licenses from channels that show anti-trump campaign ads.

    #2. Trump banned bump stocks. and would sign a bill expanding background checks.

    Right! Because Trump, and other righties, are willing to COMPROMISE with the left...not this "my way or the highway" attitude the left has. Its nice to see you admit Trump's gentle demeanor and willingness to COMPROMISE (its a term you guys should try to learn over there on the left)

    Notice how wages have stagnated since the 1990s. And the 2 big drops? Bush 2 and tRUMP.
    You're welcome.

    There is no such thing as abortion in the 9th month, except for fetal anomalies, like a brain that only developed halfway. Only a fraction of abortions happen after week 21, 1.3%. This is nothing but a false flag operation.

    The number of yearly abortions has been going down every year for quite some time.

    Do you somehow believe abortions of healthy viable fetuses occur in the 9th month? Can you show any evidence of such?
