Random Politics & Religion #18

I'll call George Soros for funding.

Are you stalking me? I didn't even know I had a posting pattern, it's basically w/e I have 10-15 minutes. The rest is kinda strange since you and several other posters all line up.


Makes sense. Like 5 people called me altima instead of actually responding to my point. The people that didn't call me altima are the ones that agree with me.

That's not what happened ....

President Obama was elected as a populist to the most politically demanding position in the USA, even though he had absolutely zero experience wrangling the snakes we call politicians. He came in and actually believed they would work with him because he was the President and that Democrats had heaped laurels on this head for the great achievement of being not-white black. He got into congress and it was a ***show like no other, he couldn't get a damn thing done because everyone wanted something different and he didn't know how to play the game. Eventually his own party leadership took him aside and let him in on the deal, that he would get absolutely zero support unless he adhered to the agenda they crafted for the-next-president him prior to his candidacy. He followed suit and thus we have the last 6+ years of him just being a puppet for his own party.

Personally I think President Obama is a good guy who honestly wanted to change things. He wasn't incompetent or stupid, just extremely inexperienced and bit off far too much. Barrack Obama had never had to bribe, extort, threaten, black mail, intimidate, or make unpopular deals before, and those are the bread and butter tools of politicians. Without those tool sets nobody, of any political ideology, will be able to manage the nightmare that is our bicameral political system.

The important thing is you found a way to feel personally victimized.

Sorry I took that away from you, you were holding on to that for sooooo long.

Edits caused a few problems here and some users took advantage of those problems.

Without naming names a few troublesome users did this quite a bit. The removal of the edit option in P&R has actually cut down on issues from here, also it's still really funny watching you all complain about it. It won't be making a return any time soon.

If you are observant, you can tell people's posting patterns.

Yeah it was pretty bad awhile back, progressives could say or do whatever they wanted with the only recourse being to block them. If a non-progressive said something and it made a progressive feel bad, *BAM* action taken in the name of Social Justice. It's gotten a lot more fair since then. My practice of blocking people who practice personal attacks was started precisely because that was the exact advice that was given "If you don't like what they say then block them". Of course it only went one way.

Don't know if crimson is altima, for a long time I had him on my block list the same as nasi and viciouss.

If it's any consolation to you, it's funny watching mods go ballistic over certain users (myself included)

We've just learned to live with typo's and spelling errors. It's a game forum not a professional discussion forum.

...what is being denounced as a vicious snub on Warren’s part is perhaps better understood as an example of cultural misunderstanding, or, at worst, racist insensitivity on the part of Warren’s critics, including DeVos.

Upon closer examination, Warren appears to be signaling to DeVos in her native Cherokee. The open hand gesture, first developed in 1823, is universally recognized among Native American Indian sign-language studies, according to manataka.org.

She's not classless. you're a racist!

If you think the system is working and you don't need an outsider running the show and challenging the status quo, you have every right to tear her apart. But let's be honest, monkey would be better than the bureaucrats running the show for the past 40 years.

The woman played a key role in establishing the Detroit charter school system. She's more than qualified.

you blockin me bro?

I thought it was proven that she is not Native American. I mean, 1/32 does not make you a part of a culture. Hell, I'm ~3/32 Native American (1/16th Cherokee on my father's side, 1/32nd Apache on my mother's side) but I don't consider myself Native American.....

Hell, I got some Mexican blood in my veins. That doesn't mean my name is Jose.

It's Juan, bish!

It's satire, people.
Then she should be able to demonstrate those qualifications in an interview setting just like anyone else looking for a job.

Those links aren't even worth clicking on, especially considering its nausi. And the failed charter school system in Detroit is exactly what disqualifies DeVos.

She did! The liberal misogynists were out for blood because they hate her for her lady parts.

She looked really lost, it makes you wonder if she even prepped.

Left owns facts I don't like bro.

I've never heard of a job interview where a certain portion of the interviewers already decided they hate you before even sitting down.

Sounds like this Nausi guy has the same views as altima and I. Are we sure he isn't altima as well? Should probably ban him just in case. omg! It looks like he has a pattern of posting here at certain times!

No I meant what I said, the charter schools in Detroit are constantly failing. Michigan has a horrible school system, courtesy of Betsy DeVos.

The pms I am getting from people are hilarious! You guys really disliked this altima guy.

She wasn't asked anything she shouldn't have been ready to give an answer to.

Sure. Lets blame it on her and ignore the 30 some years before.


I'll go with you on that. But if the roles were reversed Democrats would literally be burning things down right now.

Speaking of reversed roles. Imagine if republicans did this to Obama.

This may be Congress’ largest boycott of a presidential inauguration in American history

Its up to 55 atm.

You were for awhile. I frequently review my block list and see if those posters are still personally attacking people they don't agree with. If it's calmed down then I unblock them, if it hasn't then they remain.

Kojo is a doo-doo head!

Not everyone. Hell, I don't remember what was so ban-worthy that started this whole ***in the first place.

I do remember all the times he circumvented his ban though. Made it hard for me to post facts I don't like on a different account and see how the liberals/democrats take it.

Ravael knows, he saw the initial and final drafts.
