Great Scott. You have just solved the world's economic problems.

All you need to do is tax people 100%, then let the government give everything to people they need, and no-one will be poor.

You should write a book on it.

I'm sorry reality doesn't comport with your ideology. Your low-energy retort shows you can't refute the evidence.

konfab said:
Why stop there? Why not tax it at 100% -$2m? $2m is still more than enough for anyone to live very comfortably for their whole lives?

This is the problem with your socialism. You think that you can bring heaven to earth, thus there is no cost too great to violate. What if the government actually needs Bill Gates to cough up $99bn? Well it is still heaven on earth you are comparing it to, so again, you can morally do it.

What if it is his first born child? Well gee, it is one person vs the literal socialist paradise!! I mean what caring person would value the life of one innocent person over the benefit of society?

You're jumping the shark, konfab. Try to be a bit serious, please.

Why stop there? Why not impale our CEOs on stakes and mount them on the gates of the cities as a terrible warning? You don't have to resort to total caricature you know.

konfab has this really weird habit of starting out with somewhat serious posts and then the moment he gets the slightest pushback he just retreats into bizarre caricatures and strawmen.

So today and since the start of these threads there has been so so so much boring straw man at labels. Here is my attempt at a humorous explanation of the truth.

I doubt that this will get through to anybody calling Bernie a communist but it was fun to make.

Even St. Reagan increased taxes, after his miraculous cuts left a revenue hole.

So clearly a communist according to the resident brain geniuses.

konfab said:
The part that you don't like about this, is that businesses won't generally discriminate against people. They only do it when the government compels them to. That compulsion/force is socialism.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Good grief, konfab. How do you come up with this stuff? o_O

He'll just pardon him.

Yes, quite likely the Orangutanman will pardon all his jail buddies, except for Cohen because he is guilty of telling a few truths.

Trump says Roger Stone has 'very good chance of exoneration' hours after sentencing

The president also attacked the jury forewoman in Stone's criminal case, calling her "totally tainted."

President Donald Trump said his former adviser Roger Stone has "a very good chance of exoneration," hours after the GOP operative was sentenced to 40 months behind bars for obstructing a congressional investigation of Russia's 2016 presidential election meddling.

"I'm following this very closely, and I want to see it play out to its fullest, because Roger has a very good chance of exoneration, in my opinion," Trump said Thursday in a speech at a Hope for Prisoners event in Las Vegas, where he also blasted the jury forewoman in Stone's criminal trial.

Edit: Wonder if the Orange Fuhrer knows the difference between pardon and exonerated - he'll need to replace the justice system for the exoneration.

Never-Trumper Intelligence and security officials.

Lawmakers were briefed that Russia is looking to help Trump win in 2020

The intelligence community's top election security official delivered a briefing to lawmakers last week warning them that the intelligence community believes Russia is already taking steps to interfere in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump win.

And Trump wasn't happy with Maguire giving him facts so he got rid of him and installed a puppet.

A senior U.S. intelligence official told lawmakers last week that Russia wants to see President Trump reelected, viewing his administration as more favorable to the Kremlin’s interests, according to people who were briefed on the comments.

After learning of that analysis, which was provided to House lawmakers in a classified hearing, Trump erupted at his acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, in the Oval Office, perceiving him and his staff as disloyal for speaking to Congress about Russia’s perceived preference.

What a scumbag


Trump not pleased a South Korean film won best picture https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/20/politics/trump-south-korea-best-picture-parasite/index.html

"How bad were the Academy Awards this year, did you see? 'And the winner is ... a movie from South Korea,' " Trump said, impersonating an announcer, at a rally in Colorado.

"What the hell was that all about? We've got enough problems with South Korea with trade, on top of it they give them the best movie of the year?" he asked. On top of it, they give them the best movie of the year? Was it good? I don't know."

The people he's trying to appeal to - the illiterate and the culturally illiterate - will eat this **** up.
More folks are starting to see right through that ploy, though.

Lol. Many tribes throughout history considered their enemies as barbarians.(culturally illiterate), but today we know that wasn't necessarily the case. Many just had different cultures.

Be careful not to be so progressive that you end up being regressive.

Not everyone needs to like the same stuff. Who give a shít what Trump thinks about a movie? Do you need his approval?

Does it have subtitles? That's probably why Trump didn't like it.

There's more....


"Let's get Gone With the Wind — can we get, like, Gone With the Wind back, please?"


He's not trying to appeal to the culturally illiterate, he's a quasi-fascist who thinks art should be classical and nationalistic because that's what fascists just do. Straight from the playbook of Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin.

“Classical” Architecture Is Just One Way Authoritarians Build in Their Own Image

Trump’s draft plan for federal buildings has something in common with 20th century fascists—and 21st century strongmen.

I came here to ask the Trump supporters to decode what Trump said, as my TDS doesn't allow me to decipher what could be wrong with a South Korean film winning an Oscar.

It sounds like one of those subtle dog whistles.

Anyway, happy to hear the lucid translations from Trump supporters.

Lol yourself.
Being culturally illiterate is not "not liking other cultures' stuff" but not even realising that there is any worth to any other cultures' stuff - or pretending not to realise it, I might add, in light of Trump's crap.
He's still trying to garner support from dimwits by appearing to be "just like them".

So do you consider yourself culturally illiterate then? Because you seem to fit your own definition perfectly.

Obviously you don't like their cultural stuff because you continuously feel the need to insult it.

Yeah. I was waiting to see more of who he is before passing judgement on Bloomberg, but - just No.
Watching both the Biden and Warren Town Halls this morning, while I'm still a fan of Warren, I'm beginning to think that Biden may just be the antidote the US needs for the phoney Trumpery they've been subjected to for the last 3 years.
