    So what's wrong with this accurate portrayal of these austere Soleimani mourners.

    cause they aren't anything remotely close to mourning the scumbag. But why let that get in the way of a really good smear.

    the only came into existence upon the election of Donald Trump. so I don't know how I could have seen them rioting wearing a maga hat since a 2008 before such a thing existed.
    No I bet it's does if one particular person wins.

    "Trumpians"? Can you post without the childish nicknames? As to your claim, I haven't seen any Trump supporters "whining", and "deranged trump haters" kind of says it all, don't you think?



    Absolutely. The left started this, and now they want to cry foul when the rest of us stand up for ourselves. Maybe they should think twice before dishing out what they can't take. Which is not to say I like the current level of political discourse in this country, but the left let that genie out of the bottle, that wasn't the right's doing. It is hypocritical and deranged to think none of the rest of us would/should ever fight back.



    You do have to give him credit for that ---- and God knows they deserve it.



    Of all of the things for folks to get their panties in a wad over, this was actually a timely and apropos cartoon, considering the current political climate regarding Iran and the Democrats' bizarre support of Iran and an Iranian terrorist over America and our President. But I suppose a person has to be somewhat of a follower of current events to catch the nuance, and not fall prey to the left's false cries of "racism!" and "bigotry!"

    Of course they are.

    They'd rather give terrorists money than a missile.

    All the things that made him a scumbag terrorist are self-explanatory and complete irregardless of any other reasons these two terrorist sympathizers would like.

    It's quite simple.

    If Trump does "Y", leftists will demand "X".

    If Trump does "X", leftists will demand "Y'.

    It's extremely transparent, but you're welcome to try and deny it.

    Your entitled to your opinion.

    But I can look at the many Conservative posters on this board to see extreme displays of hatred and bigotry.

    The main reason they haven't started to riot is because life is good for them. Their people have most of the political power and they can just trigger their political enemies on line for their pleasure.

    But what if their situation is reversed?

    It's only a matter of time. If not at the next election, then likely the next one.

    Name 10, should be easy since they're so many. I suspect what you really mean is PC is ignored.

    Life is good for everyone, thanks to the Trump economy.

    Yeah I know that. Put my opinions are supported by several years of history.
    that's because you have such poorly defended viewpoints that you can't argue a position so you have to attack people that have a different position that's called ad hominem. And right now it is exclusively a tool of the left.
    their life is good because make it that way. They aren't dependent on the government to make their life good that's why you never see them riot.

    I don't think they have political enemies just people who disagree with them you're the one seeing things through the Friend or foe lens. That's why the left is always the aggressor.
    you mean the right was made up of butthurt childish little cucks that cry about stupid **** on the internet? I don't see that happening.
    Because there were so many riots because mitt Romney lost the election.

    It's all on the left I'm sorry. The right isn't interested in throwing fits and acting like idiots they know that's not how you get what you want. It's called being more grown up.

    No it's a brush fire. A bush is a single plant. What you have burning right now is underbrush.

    and if gun control laws worked so well in your country why don't you have match control laws? Why don't you just cover your entire country in a ball pit and put Nerf on all the sharp corners?

    :roflol:

    So?

    You are referring to that Pic that you posted of Chuck and Nancy in Muslim Garb as "The TRUTH"?

    You obviously have a very different definition of the word "Truth" than 99.99% of Everyone Else.:bored:

    Anyway, Trump is an IMMATURE Twitter TROLL.

    He is a DISGRACE to the Office.

    I guess his thinking (in posting a shopped pic) is:

    "It won't cost me any votes, so who cares?"

    Still, he remains a DISGRACE to the Dignity of the Office.

    ^That is a FACT (and utterly inarguable).:flagus:

    Nah, I'm not playing your political game. One need only look at the many threads on this board to see examples of what I would personally consider blatant attacks on large swaths of liberals and other people. And then they would shrug it off with an excuse.

    As for the economy, the president doesn't play a huge role in this. If they did, you would have to give Obama just as much credit as you give Trump.

    But of course, many conservatives won't. Political war, after all. You give the enemy NOTHING.

    So to all conservatives, Republicans, Trump supporters etc. I hope you know what you are doing.

    POLITICS IS CYLINDRICAL. Liberal time will come, and I can only hope they have forgotten how you've treated them.

    I think you know I am right. Both sides have their more extreme members. Both sides are increasingly becoming more aggressive in their rhetoric.

    But hey. I get it. Political war. You don't give the enemy anything. So you have to post that your side is much nicer than theirs. They have to do this too.

    I see the truth. And I know politics is CYLINDRICAL. See you at the voting booth.

    Lol you should do stand up.
    I think you really want to believe they are equal to one another. But 99% of riots in the passed ten years have been exclusively far left.
    my side is reason and rationale it's Superior in every way to any other side.
    It's a pity the only thing that matters to you is politics. Enjoy your tribulant life.

    The political drawing is a fair comment given the positive descriptions of Soleimani by so many prominent DP politicians and pundits.
    Of course the thinking left rejects radical Islam, but powerful elements within what often still passes for the "progressive" movement are now publicly expressing their solidarity with the murderous terrorist Soleimani and the totalitarian regime he served. That is very offensive to almost all ordinary Americans.

    When the Left keeps drifting left it eventually crashes into its destiny.

    Please. No matter whom wins the White House, my life goes on like normal. Neither Trump, nor Obama, Nor Clinton or Bush. None of them have had any real, direct impact on my life.

    But I come on this message board, and I see a very much larger amount of conservatives and trump supporters, attacking anyone who dares to voice any dissenting opinion, and it makes me sick and angry. And humans are emotional creatures.

    Not sure why I keep coming back. Am I a masochistic? Do I still have a small sliver of hope for meaningful discourse? Am I gleefully waiting for the bullies to get their commupence?

    Stay tuned, or not. I couldn't really care how anyone on this board feel about me.

    aww... Can't take a little heat poor wittle Rexxon.
    Boohooing about Belize is only making yourself up here as more of a low-hanging fruit. This is Junior high crap you want meaningful conversation grow up.

    Because I don't like bullies. And when I see them acting the way they do on these boards, I sometimes lose control and take the verbal swing.

    Smart idea? Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell.

    And your personal attacks on me are noted and ignored. I don't block posters. I don't report except as a last resort. I am an adult.

    See you at the voting booth. Hopefully, Republicans will be able to break the cycle. I doubt it. I don't want to be the Republican when the Democrats regain control, if this board is any indication.

    Only children cry about bullies
    so you feed trolls? Haven't you heard, never feed trolls.
    You may be an adult but adults sometimes need to grow up. This isn't an attack, it's a wake up call. If you let bullies or trolls control your feelings you won't be in control of them yourself.

    I was once there myself, I had to grow. I want that for you. You are not my enemy.


    I'm neither so... Yeah your argument with your nemesis is really pointless.

    So, is this whole board chock full of trolls?

    Then why would you post here, why would anyone?

    And this country is full of adult children. To be fair, even I can be one from time to time.

    Troll, bully, whatever you want to call them, you can't simply ignore them. Those children grow up to be angry adults, whom have the right to bear arms.

    I am not sure what we can do about this. Many conservatives go with the argument that as long as they are not as evil as their enemies that everything is fine. This line of thinking is absurd. Evil is evil. Just because one is more doesn't excuse the other.

    I apologize to you if I have incited any harmful feelings. I just got angry. But taking that anger out of a person or group does have an affect on that group I need to account for.

    Maybe I should try to find another political forum to peruse. But I have had a hard time finding one as big that is also not biased one way or another.
