2018 Midterms: what have we learned

Capitalism cinquered the world, enslaved millions and have kept the poor and weak largely off Health care for the majority if its history. Unleashing horrific crashes and wars upon the world in the process, and bringing about ecological catastrophe on a global scale. I will not defend Stalinism or any other iteration of Socialism from the Marxist-Leninist branch of the 20th Century, but I will also point out the horrors and crimes of Capitalism and advocate for Social Democracy to have Capitalism humanized to some degree as all human activities are not properly and rationally motivated by the profit motive alone.

 

Kind of the point I was making. As long as the name calling and denial of Hillary being guilty of anything rhetoric continues, America isn't going anywhere. So where are we now, House tries to Impeach, Trump appoints military tribunals, Democrats gin up their base to resist, Repubs fires back with appointments through their 55 seat Senate and round and round and round.

The finger pointing calling Conservatives Trumsters does nothing but get the response of Snowflakes and here we are. Americans at war with themselves because they were much too stupid to foresee their own demise. What is going to be the Conservative advocate response to Antifa? We going to form groups who assault Dems on the street, burn businesses, and fight with Antifa hand to hand. Civil war? More attacks of innocent civilians by deranged Liberals and conservatives?

You can either chose to tone down the rhetoric and encourage others to do the same, or we can fight each other over stupid politicians.

 

Isn't it already in the Political Opinions and Belief forum?

 

It started in Current Events. A major no-no according to the mods.

 

Apart from being heavily linked with Pakistani military intelligence,like anyone else who matters sonething in Pakistan.

 

So can I

But I dont think the dems will meet him halfway

 

Did you tattle report it?

 

Tom is in serious denial

 

They will if they are smart...but I see your point

 

No I claimed people who think others owe them something are despicable

 

. . . because the Dem committees, unlike the GOP's, will help the country.

Aren't you glad?

 

TrueScotsman said: They also used big government to end the practice, and steal people's private property away from them. Gasp!

Only you are admitting, joker, that humans can be property, and TrueScotsman caught you out again.

 

Update, Tester did pull it out in Montana. He survived his Nay vote. Still he went from 6 up down to a win of less than one percent. But a win is a win is a win. I have always been kind of fond of Tester, good for him.

 

NO. I said that the right completely abdicated their responsibility to hold his cabinet responsible. You have members of his cabinet spending like drunken sailors on extravagances. They should be held accountable. If those were dems you guys would be loosing your minds, and I would support you for that.

Me saying "SO they will spend the next 2 years doing everything in their power to keep Trump in check, and/or to take him down" is not me condoning or supporting that. Its me making the statement that that is what I think they will do is all.

I never said we should raise taxes ?

 

They need to have a real verifiable reason to do so. Just because they want ammunition to go after trump, thats called a fishing expedition. I didnt support that BS when they were going after Hillary, and I won't/can't support that if they do it to Trump

 

LOL

I'm sure there are many more imagined conspiracies you can dream up.

 

I want to know why he eats ketchup with steak!!!!!!

 

Same thing. You'll figure it out.

 

NOTHING!

Not a damn thing do we learn worthwhile and/or transformative . Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. One Minus One. Nilch. Zoro.

Thanks again, I read some news reports, and McCaskill out of MO may have caused her own problems with Kavanaugh. Again, it is all a secret ballot, so anything is possible.

 

New acting Attorney General.... Be careful what you wish for. Most of these long term Dems in Congress have leaked classified information and have been up to other mischief.

 

That you have no shame?
Yeah, that was a tough one

 

Whatever best soothes you is fine by me.

 

Work for a pittance with no benefits or starve!

The definition of MODERN CAPITALIST WAGE SLAVERY in a nutshell!

 

Then why do the wealthy always end up paying less in taxes in REAL terms?
