Official Current Affairs & Politics thread

I admit to going overboard at despising the left. It is not meant as a racist action. Why would I continually trash Hillary, Bernie, Pelosi, Schumer, Comey, Strzok, Rosenstein and other white leftists if I was a white nationalist that supports the KKK? I'm also against Hollywood, the scrawny little rodents from Antifa etc., most of these folks are white.

no one cares if you hate the left. none of that i relevant to trump, you being a racist, homophobe

[13th Man]

This dude is a weasal and you fell into his trap. He is also the biggest hypocrite because he was the one inciting violence on me when he said that he'd end up in jail if he heard me spew 1/6th of my thoughts in real life. So who is the real violent person here?

there is no trap. i was in that thread when you posted those disgusting homophobic things and then said youd beat your son if he was gay.

your words. no one elses.

Well then you weren't really in that thread because I said that I would slap him silly if he ever came to me saying that he wanted to be trans, not because he was gay.

I have nothing against gay people at all as I've stated. I believe that they have a genetic anomoly that makes them behave in that manner which is totally out of their control. How can I hate people for something that they cannot control? The parents should blame themselves for passing on those genes.

Transgender on the other hand is mental disorder imo, something perpetrated by the left to be normal. Hence why the figure of speech "slap him silly", in other words knock some sense into him verbally rather than physically.

I went on a huge tirade about the left pushing the narrative of trans being a normal thing, then when the facts come out that trans people have a 40 times higher suicide rate than the normal population, the left wash their hands and walk away. This is what this argument was all about. Blaming the left for pushing ridiculous and dangerous narratives as they've always done.

Now wanting to abolish ICE and have open borders? The left are cuckoo, it's like they want to become relevant so bad they force onto the public ridiculous and harmful idealogies because it makes it seem like they are good people at heart. The truth is that they are selfishly doing it to satisfy their own insecurities while projecting hate onto the rest of the population and hurting everybody else along the way.

Cucks!

It is relevant because Trump has to battle the leftist cucks all day and all night long.

so you admit to being a bigot who supports child abuse.... you just would only beat your kid if he said he was trans, not gay. thanks for the clarification

Nope because slap him silly was a figure of speech taken out of context, used here repeatedly by Mr.Arvhive and you fell for it.

1. a sharp blow or smack, as with the open hand, something flat, etc.
2 the sound made by or as if by such a blow
3 a sharp rebuke; reprimand


My intended use was point #3. a sharp rebuke; reprimand.

If you don't get this initially that is fine, but even after I explained the context to Archive, he still tried to mislead people with it. Pretty dishonest and looks like he got a few bites with this tactic too.

[13th Man]

Anyway, I am going to leave here for good. This time 100%. I realize that me being in here does no good. For one, I will never change my stance and start to support the left with the direction that they are heading and you guys will never support Trump either. I think that we have an equal amount of disdain for the other side politically. All that we'd be doing is posting articles supporting our side and bashing each other until either Trump gets impeached or re-elected.

You guys are all good folks, including Mr.DollarBills and you've all been cool with me when discussing basketball. I'm ruffling a lot of feathers here and the discussions have not been in good nature. It's not worth the battle. Peace out.

I'm done arguing with this vile, racist buffoon because its pointless,...I mean, he can't coherently argue or defend any of his constantly debunked alt right talking points that he parrots on here....he's like a manchild who can't critically think for himself. He ignores facts every single time, and every other post he makes is filled with spelling errors...its like he lives up to every nasty stereotype about Trump supporters. Vile, hateful, and flat out dumb.

Also, I have to point out how ridiculous it is for him to call James Comey, a lifelong Republican, a "white leftist"...it's clear he doesn't know what he's talking about 99% of the time.....this dude is seriously a moron who thinks he's smarter than he really is...he's merely some clown with a weird obsession with American politics, who gets off on raving and ranting about "the left" like its this imaginary evil army that is going to ruin his miserable life. He's not well, clearly. Ignoring reality, not adhering to facts and truth, constantly tooting his own horn like a deranged narcissist and calling people "cucks" is clear cut sign of an overall lack of intelligence and possible other underlying issues.

Prok let it go bro.

you wanted to beat your kid as a reprimand... yeah, we know that. that doesnt make it better, it makes it worse. not only do you condone beating your son, you would do it because your a homophobe and couldnt handle him being trans.

he is a racist, bigot troll. no issue calling him out

[MrDollarBills]

^looks like he tapped out. He'll probably lurk and then be back when Trump fires someone out of desperation. The only reason he came back on here talking **** is because Peter Strzok got fired due to political pressure from the WH, as if anyone cares about Peter Strzok outside of the alt right loonsphere. Mueller booted him off of the investigation for good reason.


anyway:

The long night is coming, one way or another for these pricks.

Oh my god

Um...Donald Trump is having a really bad week.

I've had my issues with McCain politically over the years but I will always give him credit for slapping down the racism regarding Obama during their election and for refusing to vote yes for that appalling "healthcare" bill McConnell and Ryan were trying to literally kill people with. Furthermore, having lost a family member to cancer a year ago (and it still hurts to think about him) I do not wish this on anyone. Very sad to hear.

UPDATE: 8/24/2018

The Nets moderators have agreed to establish some ground rules for discussion in this thread.

Most boards avoid maintaining a thread about politics, because it often devolves into name-calling and mudslinging, and moves away from good-natured critical thinking and a willingness to understand or adapt/change one's views based upon the presentation of high quality arguments and evidence.

It is important to remember that posting on this site is a privilege, not a right. Therefore, in order to maintain good faith conversation about current affairs and politics, we are reminding everyone of and will be enforcing 2 major RealGM rules:

1) NO PERSONAL ATTACKS/ BE RESPECTFUL
It doesn't matter if someone attacked you first. Name-calling, belittling, or labeling will not be tolerated regardless of who said it. Report the offending message by clicking on the exclamation point in the upper-right corner of the post and continue discussion.

2) NO TROLLING/ DISCUSS IN GOOD FAITH
We understand that board members will have differing political views and could favor viewpoints from news sources of a particular ideological persuasion. As a result, it is very easy for arguments about one's views to conflict with those of another.

When discussing or debating the nature/value/merits of a political figure, group, or ideology, we expect you to seriously assess points made and questioned asked by other posters. Ignoring or refusing to respond to such points and questions from others while continuing to post uncritical or low quality information yourself will be considered trolling. This is a thread of quality discussion and debate, not a soundboard for propaganda or willful ignorance.

If you violate either of these rules, you will receive a warning. RealGM operates on a 3 strike policy:

Warning #1: PM or Public Warning
Warning #2: PM or Public Warning
Warning #3 Three-Day Suspension
Warning #4 Seven-Day Suspension
Warning #5 Full Ban From RealGM.

Considering how often discussions of such topics can lead to inflammatory commentary, the Nets board moderators reserve the right to escalate the level of punishment according to the degree of invective used or ignorance displayed.

As of this post, we are giving everyone a clean sheet with no warnings.

In short, be respectful and understanding of differences in opinion, while being critical of the opinions of others as well as your own. Most forums don't allow such discussions, so treat the ability to discourse as a privilege. If someone violates the aforementioned rules, report the post.

— Nets Board moderators

P.S. While the 2 rules listed above are very important for this thread, we expect everyone to abide by all RealGM rules in all threads. Please review these rules here.
