US politics general thread

[Pitbull]

I've seen my brother and my father transform into paranoid racist conspiracy theorists. I find it hard to turn away.

Maybe it's not them that changed, it's you?

Think about it for a second

 

[scudsucker]

Butthurt because he wanted to post on the internet?

Must be hard not getting someone to do what you want on the internet... LOL. "O noes, he said he won't be back... now he is... CRY!"

I'm not particularly "butthurt", I'm just amused at Xarog's public display of utter dishonesty.

Why? He changed his mind, doesn't mean he's dishonest.

That being said, I can't care less, nor does anyone else on here I guess.

Good grief, you STILL don't know how to use the word correctly.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

I guess you weren't paying attention the first time I called it off. Last I checked, you didn't have a magic wand to stop me from changing my mind. But feel free to direct your impotent rage at me as you wish, I could use the entertainment.

I was half expecting your return once all those things became truth for a dose of "I told you so", it's really just the timeline that was completely wrong

Oh fella you have no idea hey. Actually my father hasn't so much changed, but I won't really have conversations around politics. But my brother is unrecognizable since he became a Trumpist. Like, I keep watching videos like this and praying I don't catch his face in the shot.

Exactly. It's not like the 2 month date was anything but a thumb suck anyway, and reading months of clues in the space of a day or two can cause a bit of time compression to set in.

I have some news for you. Trump did not make your brother racist. Your brother was racist all along.

You're a Q'eefer?

 

[Emjay]

Is Xarog back? He has been on my ignore for a year I think. This is going to be fun.

 

[cerebus]

Not at all. He was variously a punk, a skateboarder, a stoner, and other things. Anyway, I can't blame Trump for turning him into what he is, I'm just saying the political climate we're in now has real consequences.

Would someone be so kind as to ask her to rectify this mistake?

I have. Welcome back.

Happy to have someone else try interrupt the echo chamber for a bit. It's been a little tiresome.

Slumming it up on MyBB, presumably having lost all the other self-banning bets he made on the forums he's been posting in since he left...

I already like your brother, and I don't even know him

Chug that milk bro.

Nothing like a little more dishonesty to help with that goal.

 

[greg0205]

If you don't want it brought up, don't bring it up?

I guess you must be desperate to make this personal because you don't have a comeback for the facts I presented...

When you post fact I'll play the game. Your "but her emails" and "Mark Meadows says" posts don't reach the required level of 'fact' 'tho, so not much to discuss, is there?

Right, so you seriously think that The Hill et al must be smoking something when they say that Baker testified that he had contact with Sussman prior to the FISA warrant application?

Why would they think to make up such an insane lie given that if it is false it would be bound to come out eventually, if not immediately?

How many suspicious details need to be uncovered before you start to smell a rat?

You've got your head buried in the sand. It's only a matter of time before it comes out that the whole Russia investigation was a democrat ploy, and Mueller has been desperately trying to extend the special council investigation until after the midterms so that an "active investigation" staves off oversight because of the naive hope that the Dems will somehow be able to take back the house and senate in order to kill off the investigations before the truth can be uncovered...
