How the fuck is George Soros still a thing all over the right today. For fucks sake we are stuck in a 10-year time loop.

10/6/2018 11:40:57 AM

The amount of respectable people I know who fervently believe all these protesters are paid for by Soros is unreal.

Doesn’t help that trump and his cronies are pushing this too.

10/6/2018 6:02:20 PM

I literally know no one who believes that. Even the conservatives I know. I don’t doubt you, moron but more because of the different social graphs out there.

moron's observation is obviously accurate.

If people didn't believe that garbage, then Trump, the people around him, and the various pundits wouldn't keep bringing up Soros like it's a real thing.

It's an interesting worldview. The left fancies itself all academic, trying to get in the minds of Trump supporters and study them and their motivations. But the right just writes off the opposition as paid actors, like they don't even have to attempt to grapple with the mindset of someone who cares about prison reform. We're all just #fakenews.



This particular presidency has taken meanness and cruelty to another level. I mean, some observers have begun noting the humiliation aspect of these sexual allegations. The perpetrators aren't just trying to have sex...their primary aim is to humiliate their partners, like that's the fun part for them.

And it feels like that's what's happening in a much larger way, too. They don't just want to fuck us. They wanna fuck us and laugh in our faces while they do it. I suspect some people don't want to admit they're getting fucked, so they laugh along like they're in on the joke.

Anyway, the humiliation feels real. He did this in our faces. Doesn't even bother with the dog whistle. Just a criminal who openly talks shit to us while doing whatever he wants.

Well, the beauty of our system, as flawed as it is, is that we only have to put up with him for at most, 5 more years.

Kavanaugh is another issue, he'll be around for a while if not impeached, but Trump will be out in 5, at the most.

Are you going to address your USDA home loan?

10/8/2018 4:02:43 PM

What about it? I got laid off while we were working on getting a home so we had to put it off for a few years. By the time I got another job, saved up a few years, and started looking again, we no longer qualified.

10/8/2018 4:05:18 PM

You do or do not have a USDA loan?

10/8/2018 4:20:16 PM

I do not. I thought I said that earlier. I mentioned that we no longer qualify. Why is that such a big deal to you? Are you trying to point how, in some way, I'm also taking advantage of the government? I thought I was doing that just by my privilege.

10/8/2018 4:33:17 PM

Your post on the previous page was unclear. I (and several others) read it as you having a USDA home loan, which made asking for positive examples of using social programs odd.

I would still argue the indirect benefits you're receiving now are not insubstantial:

"The disability and assistance your shitty relatives get picks up a lot of slack so that you--the responsible one--don't have to."

I'd also point out the direct benefits you received as a child, but I assume you already know.

The world ended in 2008 and we're all just experiencing the collective hallucinations of a decaying mind. Because if Soros was actually paying all these people, the right would be idolizing him for being a job creator. It's almost like these people don't actually believe in limited government and free markets, but just need these philosophies to act as a loose cover for their political desire to exert dominance over the weak.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go home and watch Magnum PI.

So is Trumps theory that "rogue killers" broke into the Saudi Consulate and murdered Jamal Khashoggi, all without their knowledge?

10/15/2018 11:45:16 AM

i thought his theory was we don't like it but we won't risk $100 Billion in arms sales to do anything about it, is he actually pitching the rogue killers now?

Quote :

"The reports about Jamal Khashoggi, the missing Saudi journalist and Washington Post contributor, whom I’ve known for more than 15 years, grow steadily more sickening. Turkey claims to have audiotape of Saudi interrogators torturing Jamal and killing him in the Saudi Consulate. None of this is confirmed, and we still don’t know exactly what happened; we all pray that Jamal will still reappear. But increasingly it seems that the crown prince, better known as M.B.S., orchestrated the torture, assassination and dismemberment of an American-based journalist using diplomatic premises in a NATO country. That is monstrous, and it’s compounded by the tepid response from Washington. President Trump is already rejecting the idea of responding to such a murder by cutting off weapons sales. Trump sounds as if he believes that the consequence of such an assassination should be a hiccup and then business as usual. Frankly, it’s a disgrace that Trump administration officials and American business tycoons enabled and applauded M.B.S. as he imprisoned business executives, kidnapped Lebanon’s prime minister, rashly created a crisis with Qatar, and went to war in Yemen to create what the United Nations calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis there. Some eight million Yemenis on the edge of starvation there don’t share this bizarre view that M.B.S. is a magnificent reformer. Trump has expressed “great confidence” in M.B.S. and said that he and King Salman “know exactly what they are doing.” Jared Kushner wooed M.B.S. and built a close relationship with him — communicating privately without involving State Department experts — in ways that certainly assisted M.B.S. in his bid to consolidate power for himself. The bipartisan cheers from Washington, Silicon Valley and Wall Street fed his recklessness. If he could be feted after kidnapping a Lebanese prime minister and slaughtering Yemeni children, why expect a fuss for murdering a mere journalist? M.B.S. knows how to push Americans’ buttons, speaking about reform and playing us like a fiddle. His willingness to sound accepting of Israel may also be one reason Trump and so many Americans were willing to embrace M.B.S. even as he was out of control at home. In the end, M.B.S. played Kushner, Trump and his other American acolytes for suckers. The White House boasted about $110 billion in arms sales, but nothing close to that came through. Saudi Arabia backed away from Trump’s Middle East peace deal. Financiers salivated over an initial public offering for Aramco, the state-owned oil company, but that keeps getting delayed. The crackdown on corruption is an example of M.B.S.’s manipulation and hypocrisy. It sounded great, but M.B.S. himself has purchased a $300 million castle in France, and a $500 million yacht — and he didn’t buy them by scrimping on his government salary. In fairness, he did allow women to drive. But he also imprisoned the women’s rights activists who had been campaigning for the right to drive. Saudi Arabia even orchestrated the detention abroad of a women’s rights activist, Loujain al-Hathloul, and her return in handcuffs. She turned 29 in a Saudi jail cell in July, and her marriage has ended. She, and not the prince who imprisons her, is the heroic reformer. Just last month in London, unidentified Saudi men, one wearing an earpiece, attacked a Saudi dissident named Ghanem al-Dosari, who has mocked M.B.S. as “the tubby teddy bear.” As they punched Dosari, they cursed him for criticizing the Saudi royal family. “M.B.S.’s message to Saudis is clear: I will shut you up no matter where you are and no matter what laws I have to break to do it,” Sarah Leah Whitson of Human Rights Watch told me. The crown prince showed his sensitivity and unpredictability in August when Canada’s foreign ministry tweeted concern about the jailing of Saudi women’s rights activists. Saudi Arabia went nuts, canceling flights, telling 8,300 Saudi students to leave Canada, expelling the Canadian ambassador and withdrawing investments. All for a tweet. Western companies should back out of M.B.S.’s Future Investment Initiative conference later this month. That includes you, Mastercard, McKinsey, Credit Suisse, Siemens, HSBC, BCG, EY, Bain and Deloitte, all listed on the conference website as partners of the event. We need an international investigation, perhaps overseen by the United Nations, of what happened to Jamal. In the United States, we also must investigate whether Saudis bought influence with spending that benefited the Trump family, such as $270,000 spent as of early 2017 by a lobbying firm for Saudi Arabia at the Trump hotel in Washington. The Washington Post reported that Saudi bookings at Trump Chicago increased 169 percent from the first half of 2016 to the first half of this year, and that the general manager of a Trump hotel in New York told investors that revenues rose partly because of “a last-minute visit to New York by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.” If Saudi Arabia cannot show that Jamal is safe and sound, NATO countries should jointly expel Saudi ambassadors and suspend weapons sales. The United States should start an investigation under the Magnitsky Act and stand ready to impose sanctions on officials up to M.B.S. America can also make clear to the Saudi royal family that it should find a new crown prince. A mad prince who murders a journalist, kidnaps a prime minister and starves millions of children should never be celebrated at state dinners, but instead belongs in a prison cell."

Of course we cozy up to bad people, but historically when they do bad shit we respond. This time we aren't doing shit because 1) Trump is POTUS and 2) He and his family have business and personal relationships with SA 3) He hates the media too

Trump ratchets things up, he went from saying family separation wasn’t happening to arguing it’s a good policy

He’s already been calling the media evil, not hard to see that he’s hoping his supporters go after reporters.

"Trump on Gianforte: "Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my type!" to cheers. "I was in Rome when I heard about it, and I heard that he body slammed a reporter!" Trump said. Trump said he was afraid it would make Gianforte lose, then he said "wait a moment, I know Montana.""
