Quote:Where's your civility, SHINY?
The Democratic Party. The idea that we should elect someone just because they're a woman (identity politics, women v men. We see that in WISHY a whole lot) - SIGNY
Boy, you guys really like to label things don't you. That's a bunch of bullshit.
Be he man or be she woman, as long as the job gets done, who gives a fuck who
does it? All of you want to roll back the clock to the good ole days, where men
were men and women stayed barefoot and pregnant. What a bunch of shiteaters!
Fuck that! - SHINY
First of all, I'm a woman, and I think - like you - that people should be elected based on merit. But have you forgotten "Hillary - because it's time ..."?
Srsly? THAT was part of her campaign? I think that appeal to "reverse sexism" was sinking pretty low. IMHO Hillary failed as a candidate, and it had nothing to to do with her sex.
Quote:Not true. Go check back into my posts around 2007-2010. I was ready to give Obama a chance to do something different. He had a historic moment: The 2nd Great Depression, a mandate from the people, and a majority in the House and Senate. He could have been a second FDR, but he blew it.
Yes, how? How is this entirely TRUMP'S fault when the DNC has constantly played off blacks against whites, women against men, and straights versus "everyone else" for decades? It's not that this is "just" the DNC's fault, the RNC has done the same with religion and gun ownership, but the DNC definitely shares part of the blame. - SIGNY
When Obama was president that's all you would do, complain.
Quote:Boy, you sure like to label things!
He's deliberately trying to fuck the US and all it's inhabitants. with Putin's help. And, I'm on to "your" (the alt-right) little game
Quote:Actually, it comes from the movie "Gaslight".
...turn everything around that you guys do and "gaslight" the world to death. Too late, we already have seen what's behind the curtain. If you don't know what "gaslight" means, look it up. It's a narc tactic (narc is short for narcissist).
SHINY, you and a lot of people here are engaged in what looks to me like nothing so much as hysterical paranoid reaction ... exactly the same kind of reaction that drove people into supporting the invasion and destruction of Iraq over phantom WMD.
Quote:
Yanno, I have asked the question What are America's interests? probably a couple-dozen times by now, and only one person on the left ... and none of the self-styled liberals and nobody on the right .... even attempted to answer that question, as if the category "Americans" is such an alien concept that NOBODY can even imagine what it is that we all have in common.- SIGNY
I'm not going to harp on someone because that can't, or won't answer. - SHINY
The reason why I keep asking is because there is nothing so scary as the shapeless, formless thing that you can't see.
SO LET'S GET DOWN TO PRACTICALITIES.
Here are a couple of examples:
Iraq's "WMD". People were driven insane by the constant barrage of propaganda from the WH, helpfully passed along by the M$M. Yellowcake! Centrifuge tubes! Anthrax! Chemical weapons! Mushroom cloud! East, west, north, south somewhat of Baghdad!
But how did that affect OUR INTERESTS, and, specifically, OUR SECURITY? The reality was, Iraq was waaaaaay over there, and we're waaaaaay over here, and no matter what forms of chemical or nuclear weapons Saddam might (or might not) have been manufacturing, he simply didn't have the missiles to launch them waaaaay over here. So I thought the threat was waaaaay overblown, and we certainly could have waited for Hans Blix to finish his inspection instead of chasing out UNMOVIC with our bombs.
Now, about Russia. Everyone is all twisted that Russia "took Crimea by force"

Right there? ^ Ha - you're such a liar, SIGGY.
Hey SGG - I have a question for you: how is feigned ignorance different from actual ignorance? It's worse!
She ain't worth a response dude, she's just agitating.

Pro-Trump & Russian-Linked Twitter Accounts Are Posing As Ex-Democrats In New Astroturfed Movement
#WalkAway from this deceptive propaganda campaign
As pundits, politicians, and other Very Serious People spent last weekend admonishing “the left” for not being civil enough in their approach to pushing back against the Trump administration’s cruel policy of forcibly separating immigrant children from their parents, a peculiar and carefully crafted narrative began to take shape on social media. A closer look at this emerging narrative—a self-described “grassroots movement” of former Democrats fleeing the party—revealed an astroturfed campaign driven by pro-Trump Twitter users and amplified by automated and Russian-linked accounts.
>> "The primary functional goal of an astroturfed campaign like this one is to manipulate public opinion by gaming online algorithms to amplify certain content and push it onto people’s social media feeds and to the top of search engine results." <<
The surge of tweets started on Saturday, June 23, when news broke that White House press secretary Sarah Sanders had been quietly asked to leave a restaurant in Lexington, VA, the night before. The social media campaign really took off the next day, after Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said in a speech that administration officials who support Trump’s policies should expect to face pushback when they go out in public.
Most of the tweets were strikingly similar, and the vast majority pushed a very familiar narrative. Using the hashtag #WalkAway and claiming to be former Democrats, social media users shared their stories of leaving the Democratic party after being turned off by the “hate” and “division” of “the left.” Many of them cited the incidents involving Sanders and Waters as examples of the “intolerance” and “bullying” that supposedly drove them to support Trump after years—in some cases, decades—of voting for Democrats.

They're still at it and they will never stop with Trump in the WH.

Nothing wrong with dairy. Like almost anything else, the key is moderation.
Dude could probably stand to do some cardio. Or at least get out of his mom's basement once and a while and stop chugging 10 Monsters a day while playing Call of Duty.

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.

REAVERFAN: Like you said, we were talking about civility.
I find it revealing that in a thread about civility, most consistently uncivil posters are you and GSTRING.
Yanno, when the rightwing posted pictures of Obama overlaid with a target, or as a watermelon-eating monkey, people were (rightly) offended. But you excuse the same behavior when it involves Trump? You are no different - including your self-justifications- from the people you claim are "uncivil".
Right now, I'm too busy to deal with your self-justifications, excuses, and squirming, Feel free to...
1) Attack me personally, or
2) Rationalize your bad behavior, or
3) Distract from the topic, or
4) Lie, or
5) Address the topic civilly and rationally
... whichever you see fit. At some point in the future, I might get back to this. Or not, it's a little hard to tell.

Trump tweeted the following:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Just won lawsuit filed by the DNC and a bunch of Democrat crazies trying to claim the Trump Campaign (and others), colluded with Russia. They haven’t figured out that this was an excuse for them losing the election!
11:57 AM - Jul 6, 2018 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1015278594795417600
Trump didn’t win anything. The suit was not filed by the DNC. There was no ruling one way or the other about collusion with Russia. His entire tweet is a lie from beginning to end. As usual.
