That is a masterpiece of science fiction and I have nothing but praise for their efforts

Forget about ideology or conspiracies, it’s totally evident that Trump would never be able to wait on revealing any information or pursuing any strategy.

He would tweet about whatever he was privy to that day lol.

If you can’t see that he has no strategic patience or ability to execute a slow plan, I really don’t know what to tell you.

He has nada. He is not capable of sitting on anything.

He's a life long silver spoon fukupp. Him being president means close to half of America believes a dimwitted reality TV host with no managerial abilities is qualified to be in the most important position on the planet. That he got into the White House only proves what a pathetic country we've become

A silver spoon loaded with cocaine? Yes.

So, it's possible the bomber was a 5G paranoiac?

right. i'm in no way suggeting cutting off 74 million americans with myriad political differences. that wasn't quite the point of this. it is the notion of accepting that there will be a subset that you can't reach. to what extent do you accept that and how do you proceed?

That subset needs to form their own party if the reps had balls they would admit there is already a split. There is nothing wrong with being a rep but the new trumpers/ex tea partiers need to go in the white trash where they came from.

Why would they?

They have complete control of the Republican party right now

No matter what they do, almost all of the "moderate" Republicans will still follow them

At this point, we just have to accept that 75 million Americans identify themselves as Republicans and will vote as such no matter what even when an illiterate, racist man-baby is on the ticket

But don't tell the "moderates" I called him racist or you'll get flooded with articles from rich white guys saying he isn't, and dozens of snide comments about how the Dems founded the KKK and Republicans are the party of Lincoln, so they can't be racist, Dems are the real racists, pay no attention to the Confederate flags being flown at Republican events, those have nothing to do with racism, just heritage.

" Dems are the real racists, pay no attention to the Confederate flags being flown at Republican event"
after this your post makes little to no sense
If your goal was to call dems racist where do you base this? Certainly was not based on any facts so stop listening to ted cruz he is a moron learn to fact check before you post some moronic crap like the above.

I thought it was obvious I was making fun of Republicans who claim they're not the racist party cause those are the arguments they use, which are incredibly ignorant at best, intentionally misleading at worst

Guess it wasn't clear enough.

Spoke to a quasi-Trump supporter (the kind that doesn't register to vote) and they had no clue that Trump is a speed freak with a lifelong habit. Just another example of how people are completely tuned out to the obvious.

That kind of guy was probably always going to be the highest probability, though sometimes these are layered stories regarding degrees of involvement depending on whom this guy was in contact with on the web. He many have transacted it, but who was he talking to is what I'd want to know. The reason I'd consider that relevant is I believe foreign intelligence would seek out malleable personalities online that fit certain profiles and have specific capabilities in order to influence them to the point of committing acts of domestic terror.

It's real Orwellian stuff when they do that, just talking crap completely devoid of context, historical context. I actually find it frightening, when it's not pissing me off.

It's real Orwellian stuff when they do that, just talking crap completely devoid of context, historical context. I actually find it frightening, when it's not pissing me off.

It's all based on the assumption that "I'm a good person," which I think all or nearly all people have

Like, most everyone agrees racism is bad. Therefore, if you are a racist or support racists, you're a bad person. But since you know you're a good person, that means you can't be racist, or you can't support racism

It's the same way flat-earthers or any other cult-like belief works. Start with the conclusion (the earth is flat, I'm a good person therefore not racist), and then find evidence that supports that while ignoring evidence that contradicts it. Instead of the scientific method which would be asking, is the earth flat or am I actually being racist, and look at all the evidence before coming to a conclusion

There's a saying in Germany, that if you walk into a room with 11 people sitting at a table all conversing together, and one of them is a Nazi, there are 11 Nazis at the table. For those who don't understand the point, it's that when you allow those who are intolerant (Nazis, white supremacists, etc) into your group and allow them to participate, you're giving tacit approval of their ideas. Paradox of tolerance, if you want to read more

Not all racists are Republicans, I'm sure there are some racist Dems. In fact, I know that to be so. But only one party actively invites racists and neo-Nazis into their ranks with open arms while knowing exactly who they are, and burying your head in the sand and voting for that party regardless makes one complicit.

This is how racism rears its ugly head in an everyday context. Check out the fallout in this case. Good for her or was it over the top?

A Racial Slur, a Viral Video, and a Reckoning
A white high school student withdrew from her chosen college after a three-second video caused an uproar online. The classmate who shared it publicly has no regrets.

By Dan Levin
Dec. 26, 2020

LEESBURG, Va. — Jimmy Galligan was in history class last school year when his phone buzzed with a message. Once he clicked on it, he found a three-second video of a white classmate looking into the camera and uttering an anti-Black racial slur.

The slur, he said, was regularly hurled in classrooms and hallways throughout his years in the Loudoun County school district. He had brought the issue up to teachers and administrators but, much to his anger and frustration, his complaints had gone nowhere.

So he held on to the video, which was sent to him by a friend, and made a decision that would ricochet across Leesburg, Va., a town named for an ancestor of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee and whose school system had fought an order to desegregate for more than a decade after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling.

Figured that his donors would tell him to cut the **** once he started costing them money.

I’m currently reading Obama’s book, A Promised Land and I laugh at anyone who calls him Republican light or a Centrist. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I should be required reading for every civics class and any idiot who thinks it’s easy to run a country. I wish it would have come out in 2016 because it’s obvious that you should never let a **** delusional moron like Trump get within 100 yards of the Whitehouse.

Exhibit A - The Grand Bargain where he proposed cuts to Medicare and Social Security.

Exhibit B - Libya

That's all for now bc I really could care less about what Obama or Hillary of W. or Clinton have to say about anything.
