Why don't you chucklefucks take a look at the list of things that Trump has done against Russian interests since he's been in office?

That question is rhetorical, of course. I'm speaking to conspiracy theorists.


You boys make Alex Jones proud.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

You ever notice how Trump fans never post a single thread about what great things he’s doing? I don’t even see posts about the great ideas/things he’s come up with (other than how to keep out “others”)? It’s pretty much all focused on Dem hate.

lol

I'm not a Trump fan other than a good laugh I get from his occasional tweets. Let's just say you'd never find me dead wearing a MAGA hat.

Democrats in 2019 are just gross though. They have been for well over 10 years now.

I used to post shit about GWB every day here with the Democrats on this board. I haven't changed. You have.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Oh baloney! "Dem hate"? Like ... who? WHO is being hated on? Nancy Pelosi barely gets a mention. Same with Adam Schiff. The thread on "who's running in 2020" regularly sinks to the bottom of the page and beyond.

Do you know what the mainstay of the conversation has been for the past three years?

RUSSIA!

RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA!


Endlessly repeated ad nauseum. It's insane. You people are delusional. And just because someone criticizes you for falling for this deep state-engendered hoax doesn't mean it's a defense of Trump.

Oh, and BTW ... I started a Trump: Good, bad, ugly" thread http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=61325 to discuss what Trump ws doing (not what he was tweeting, and not your delusions about RUSSIA!!) It died an inglorious death because nobody wanted to discuss what was REALLY going on. All anyone wanted to post about was RUSSIA! If you can get past this RUSSIA! fixation and (oh btw) manage to NOT call me a "Russian troll" for the umpteenth time, then .. let's revisit that thread and have a real discussion. 'Cause, yanno, I've got a lot to say about him, and not all of it is nice.

While I certainly appreciate you trolls keeping this up near the top - do you have anything to say on-topic? Anything at all?

Yanno, you could tackle some of the easiest questions first. Here's one - do you think a nuclear war is winnable?

Oh pshaw! KIKI! Who wants to discuss the insanity of nuclear armageddon when it's so much juicier to go on and on about RUSSIA!!! ?

There's no end of the world coming. There's no nuclear war coming. The environment isn't going to self destruct in 12 years. There is no impending Civil War.

These are bored people. "Russia!" fills a hole for them.

Absolutely G, dead on. All they do is deflect and deny when Trump does 100 fold what they've always complained about others doing. It's obvious why too. It's about trolling with them. It always has been.

Anything 'on topic' - or just more of your endless trolling?

Here's a starter question - do you think a nuclear war is winnable?

--- healthcare ---

The m$m is starting to frame the anti-Bernie debate. Most people will literally never get beyond the headlines - that's why the NYTimes was so frantic about a headline that they had to call the entire newsroom staff together to 'discuss' Trump's 'racism' (and their shift from 'Russia'.)

This is what the NYTimes headlined about Bernie:


Sanders Went to Canada, and a ‘Medicare for All’ Dream Flourished Wow. You went to Canada and saw the light, eh Bernie? Yanno, I went to Canada and all I got was this T-shirt.
It's called being dismissive. Damning with faint praise.
Anybody who lives even remotely close to the Canadian/ Canadien border knows a lot about its healthcare system. Sanders didn't just accidentally stumble across the border and notice something different, et voilà!, now it's part of his campaign.

Senator Bernie Sanders has staked his presidential campaign on transforming U.S. health care. A trip he made to study the Canadian system helps explain why. 7m ago
I studied for an exam once, too.
And those intrepid enough to read the subhead were treated to more of the same. Again, it sounds like Sanders did one thing once - he made a trip - and suddenly he's proposing national healthcare policy with a tourist's knowledge.

I've pointed out the mind-reading and suppositions in the text below, and highlighted the facts, along with relevant quotes from named sources with first-hand knowledge. I've also interpolated clearly delineated comments.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/09/us/politics/bernie-sanders-health-c
are.html


BURLINGTON, Vt. — In July 1987, Bernie Sanders, then the mayor of Burlington, Vt., arrived in Ottawa convinced (mindreading) he was about to see the future of health care.

Years earlier, as his mother’s health declined, and his family struggled to pay for medical treatment, he was spending more time attending to her than in classes at Brooklyn College, suffering through what his brother called “a wrecked year’’ leading to her death. Over time, he had come to believe that the American health care system was flawed and inherently unfair. In Canada, he wanted to observe firsthand the government-backed, universal model that he strongly suspected was better. (This is clearly editorialization, or at best unsupported 'mindreading' claims: 'he believed', 'he wanted', 'he strongly suspected'.)

Amid
tours of community centers and meetings with health care providers, Mr. Sanders, then 45 , more than liked what he saw. “He was thrilled,” recalled Beth Mintz, a professor of sociology at the University of Vermont and a member of a task force that accompanied Mr. Sanders. “It gave him much more confidence in the possibility of the single-payer system as a solution.” (I can find no stories about his visit to Canada, except quotes from 1987 where he said single payer would bankrupt the US. Here's one link from a pageful of links https://freebeacon.com/politics/sanders-1987-astronomical-cost-single-
payer-bankrupt-nation
/)


Decades before “Medicare for all” would propel his presidential campaigns, Mr. Sanders’s expedition to Ottawa helped forge his determination to transform the American health care system. His views burst onto the national political scene
during his 2016 presidential run, when he championed a single-payer program alongside many of his
