Dude don't leave you've done nothing wrong. Keep posting and don't let the posts of one person distract you.


I will monitor the forum and find the conversations interesting obviously I have a different bias on politics than likely 95% of the posters. I will be heading to London on Wednesday evening and be in Johannesburg SA on Friday and will be in Africa for a month visiting Mozambique and Zambia as well. My wife and I are looking forward to the trip especially with a good friend who will be our guide. We both want to see the good and bad in South Africa and will be going to the townships where she grew up. She is a out standing lady who made a life for herself graduating from Columbia and lived in USA, China and now back in South Africa trying to make a difference. I'm at a age that I want to do some bucket list things and always broaden my understanding of the world.

The indictments today are the 1st step Manafort & Gates are the 1st. steps in unlocking the puzzle and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if Stone is the next to be charged. But this is just one of several streams that Mueller is after. Obviously Manafort has connection to both Donald Trump Jr. and Kushner and the Russian meeting. The one key connection in that who is rarely mentioned is the translator who was hired by the Russian lawyer. If Manafort goes for a plea bargain this translator can confirm his testimony. Why I think Stone is next is that he had the direct connection to the hackers and may have been coordinating the dumping of Clinton e-mails. Both Manafort & Gates can be also charged with State charges which mitigates any attempt at a pardon by Trump.

But the real bullet is not the big names but the guilty plea of George Papadopoulos and a likely connection to Lewandowski and others in the Trump campaign. It was released at the same time as Manafort & Gates on purpose so the big names overshadow what is a direct tie to collusion in the Trump campaign.

I also firmly believe that both Donald Jr. and Ivanka are being investigated on the Trump Soho deal again in NYS.

Will look at site not sure if I will post.

:lol: :lol:

bruh, it aint that serious. you are a solid contributor here and I especially enjoy your posts. learn from them in fact. No need to appologize to the board for calling me an azzhole. no need to appologize to me either. but i do take some slight offense to you not recognizing my true political affiliation

and hopefully for the last time:

Spoiler:
I'm an independent!!!!

Just a random observation: The reason people doubt your independence are your own words. I post on a few other boards with far right posters and to be honest, except for an issue here and there, your words sound like typical GOP talking points.


For instance, the way you use the term "far left".

You clearly don't care for the far left and yet you supported Sanders. What American politician is currently more "far left" than Sanders?

Also, a few pages ago you criticized myself and other posters for alienating those on the right with our Trump bashing.

Now that was odd.

Why would any liberal care about that in regards to Trump?

Heck, I wouldn't expect a Republican to consider my feelings when criticizing President Obama.

Really wouldn't expect an independent to care much either.

Now I WOULD expect a fellow republican/conservative to possibly feel that way.

Just something for you to ponder.


I get the sense that SD20's financial wealth has changed over the past year. I find it more likely than not that he would support Trump over Sanders. But hey, there are still a lot of unknowns. Maybe SD20's account has been compromised by the Russians.

You know, there *is* a block function. You are in control of what you read in this thread, no one else.

Good advice for life in general.


BTW - I don't ever see a block function. What I see is an ability to make someone an 'enemy'.
Is that really the same thing. They could be more explicit.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

have a great trip. safe travels. your posts here on the politics board are truly insightful. i think we all learn from them.

But you do have to understand that this is a politics board and the brand of politics you preach leans very socialists and you clearly have a globalists agenda. nothing wrong with any of that. this is politics board and a good place for you to express yourself. some of us may have a more nationalists (USA centric) agenda and be more concerned about people here at home. nothing wrong with either point of view. hope you understand that we just see some things differently.

both of us clearly would like to live in a better world where government makes it easier on everyday folks to pursue their own version of happiness.

my particular push is for the middle class.

imo, the middle class is the greatest and most important group of human beings because:

1. they get up everyday and go to work
2. to pay their own bills
3. dont want handouts
4. make their beds, clean their cars, mow their lawns, pay their taxes, etc

the middle class does these things almost blindly because:

1. they truly believe in community.
2. they believe in helping each other
3. they believe the world is a better place when we work together to find common ground

the middle class has some issues or drawbacks in that:

1. they may likely be not that "smart"
2. in that they easily and sometimes blindly "follow the crowd," so as to fit in. so they are
3. susceptible to bull like organized religion in the hopes to find common ground although the pretense is a good thing sometimes things like organized religion are not good.

but the bottom line? the working class wakes up, goes to work, and pays their bills. with that backbone any type of society can work. you can work with that.

Its only when everyone wants to be the ruling class do we have strife and conflict or when no one wants to work do societies collapse and fail.

the bottom BOTTOM LINE? The working class is the most important group in any society, imo. as somebody has to do the actual work. they should be protected and appeased most in any government policy. Democrats used to be the party for the working class. For unions. The goal was to convert the lower class to working class and give working class folks a fair opportunity to become upper class. that used to be a real thing in this country and not that long ago. Seems like democrats dont really want legislation to keep those pathways open to me. and elitists either socially (yet still working class which is odd to me actual economic elitist have come to represent the democrats and vice versa.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

Yeah and then you get a notification that someone is on your "ignore" list. I think they've changed the nomenclature over the years. But all it is is a "I can't read posts from this person and stay sane" button.

:lol: :lol: real estate stuff is down as values ran up over the past 2 years making profit margins very low on flips as well as rental income. dental biz is up. overall about equal. but the dental has been "down" for almost a decade due to long economic depression. so im thrilled to have a wonderful year in dental. 96% of my patients are working class folks on the southside and Im very happy to see their fortunes improve. I love working class folks. adore them really. just good people.

i dont particularly care for elitists. whether they be economic or social elitist. they both kind of suck. are very difficult to work with or work for or have them work for you. just whiny babies in general. the worst version of elitists are the "broke ass" mostly social elitist that make a decent amount of money-$50k-120k. But they dont make enough money to pay you for the pain in the ass it will be to deal with them and they tend to whine the loudest and complain the most. they just dont have a firm grasp on reality. at least a true economic elitist can and will pay you well for your troubles and have a firm grasp on where they have leverage and where they dont.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

cammac, I (speed) read all the threads, so I read every post in this thread, much of the time just making sure there's no out of control TOS issues.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ EVERY POST! Whether you employ the blocking device or not, you can skip some posts. This can be useful especially for posts in the politics thread which may be disorganized, unedited, unproofed, stream-of-consciousness ramble-on spews without a hint of reflective analysis. If the posts are particularly long, or if the poster is particularly prolific, all those symptoms are multiplied.

Kind visitor to the Wizards board, give yourself a break from this madness, but please recuperate and return. And by all means visit the trolling thread when the Wiz play the Raptors!

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

I really hope that Pence, Ryan and Mcconnell get wrapped up on this as well. I want to see those **** go down because there's no way that they weren't aware of what was going on.

I'm not sure what they knew as it was going on. Pretty sure that they knew what happened after the fact.

Now I want to know what they are going to do about the mess - are they actually going to govern?

Dude don't leave you've done nothing wrong. Keep posting and don't let the posts of one person distract you.


I will monitor the forum and find the conversations interesting obviously I have a different bias on politics than likely 95% of the posters. I will be heading to London on Wednesday evening and be in Johannesburg SA on Friday and will be in Africa for a month visiting Mozambique and Zambia as well. My wife and I are looking forward to the trip especially with a good friend who will be our guide. We both want to see the good and bad in South Africa and will be going to the townships where she grew up. She is a out standing lady who made a life for herself graduating from Columbia and lived in USA, China and now back in South Africa trying to make a difference. I'm at a age that I want to do some bucket list things and always broaden my understanding of the world.

The indictments today are the 1st step Manafort & Gates are the 1st. steps in unlocking the puzzle and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if Stone is the next to be charged. But this is just one of several streams that Mueller is after. Obviously Manafort has connection to both Donald Trump Jr. and Kushner and the Russian meeting. The one key connection in that who is rarely mentioned is the translator who was hired by the Russian lawyer. If Manafort goes for a plea bargain this translator can confirm his testimony. Why I think Stone is next is that he had the direct connection to the hackers and may have been coordinating the dumping of Clinton e-mails. Both Manafort & Gates can be also charged with State charges which mitigates any attempt at a pardon by Trump.

But the real bullet is not the big names but the guilty plea of George Papadopoulos and a likely connection to Lewandowski and others in the Trump campaign. It was released at the same time as Manafort & Gates on purpose so the big names overshadow what is a direct tie to collusion in the Trump campaign.

I also firmly believe that both Donald Jr. and Ivanka are being investigated on the Trump Soho deal again in NYS.

Will look at site not sure if I will post.


I've worked with that Russian interpreter who was in the Trump Tower meeting with Russian lawyer. I still can't believe it lol
