US politics general thread

[Pitbull]

So, you don't anything about him you assume the conservative opinion of him is deranged?

I have no opinion of this dude. No idea who he is even.

So the assumption by the left is wrong

Soros is unambiguously on the far-left, you people happily demonize anyone who can be remotely associated with he far right, in fact you demonize anyone who can be associated with the right period. Conservatives demonize someone who is actually far-left by the words from his own mouth and that's some how stupid?

:erm:
He's not claiming my statement is fact.

Yes, he is actually...post # 6667 he quotes you with a bold bit...

I think our definitions of WAR is different. That being said, luckily those joining the army are not raised by Libtards, else they would not have joined the army am I right? Glad some folks still know how to raise their kids the right way.

This fact!

@ Rietrot - continually posting this pic is also what makes him a troll.

No. One example of trolling doesn't make everything you disagree with also trolling.

Yes he is right, like I said, follow the conversation. You are wrong...

He has posted that picture a number of times, if you engage in trolling then you are a troll. He might well have some valid opinions but it's hard to engage with someone who resorts to one word "lol" responses and stupid pictures as if somehow that makes him oh so smart.

Care to explain his reply to Obronie in post #6641 then? (the first of his I responded to). Seriously was the first to mention a "counter to facts", facts that where you supposedly brought up by you?

I'm somewhat conflicted on Soros. You have to respect the guy for what he achieved especially breaking the bank of England.
But his dirty tactics around politics under the guise philanthropy, dumping migrants in Europe funding extremists groups like Antifa. He should have been in jail already.


Also strange that the lefties like him considering he is a 0.00001%er hording all the wealth for himself.

Sounds a hell of a lot more manly than setting your own country's ship on fire and turning traitor at the very first opportunity ... as someone who actually did go to the Vietnam war did and got lauded as a hero.

Not this rehashed BS time and time again.

Unproven, especially the claim that he set the USS Forrestal on fire, when actual US Navy reports on the matter totally prove otherwise.

It was physically impossible for him to have started the fire.

McCain was sitting in his A-4 Skyhawk, waiting to launch. It was hit by a Zuni rocket that was fired from an F-4 Phantom that was across the flight deck from him. An accidental rocket launch caused by an electrical issue on the F-4 Phantom.

So how is it that McCain caused the fire?

Did McCain jump out of his jet, run across the flight deck, tamper with the F-4's electronics, quickly run back to his A-4, get back in and wait for the rocket to hit him?

You are smarter than this.

 

[cerebus]

So, you don't anything about him you assume the conservative opinion of him is deranged?

Well... the opinion of someone who would send a mailbomb to Soros because they've been huffing the QAnon canisters too hard is probably deranged. I don't actually think all you conservatives have equally deranged opinions. I do think it's rather hypocritical to demonise him for his convictions when Trump has a whole slew of convictions under his belt - including last year when the Trump org got fined $25 million for running a scam college.

I'm just gonna sit here and smile at the fact that I didn't mention any names and yet you immediately knew it was Insane McCain

 

[Xarog]

Is he?

I'll admit to complete ignorance as far as Soros is concerned.
I saw a photo of him in that NYT article and was quite surprised at his lack of hooves and a tail.
But they say the Devil looks suspiciously normal, don't they?

Soros is a slimeball who uses his contacts with the state department to fund his overseas colour revolutions via USAid etc, and then returns the favour by using his money to fund democrats inside the US which the dept. of state isn't allowed to do.

Good thing Trump put a stop to a lot of that when he came into power.

You think it's trolling only because you don't agree with the point he's making. But the point Seriously is making is actually apt and you're welcome to learn more about it here. Cerebus has NPC fever baaaaad.

 

[Seriously]

Still waiting for you to quote the "facts" in Pitbull's post, the ones that referenced in response to Obronie's post

"LOL, the kind of retorts a typical libtard come up with to counter facts are really comical at bes "

By the way you forgot to attack this poster. Now what? Care to explain that?

Interesting fact.

Well, I'm not demonising him because he's a criminal, I just offered that as an example of how it's not stupid to demonize a convicted criminal. Funnily enough I thought convicts couldn't even vote in the US let alone run for president, clearly I was wrong.

I do think Soros is a terrible human being because he's a far-leftist who funds violent extremists ( although I think merely seriously subscribing to ideas like doing away with borders is detestable enough). I think that's a rational stance as opposed to believing Trump is the thin edge of the wedge of fascism.

And, to preempt the obvious response, I don't have a problem with demonising Trump, I have a problem with throwing shyt at him until something sticks and blithely ignoring the times you threw shyt that was literally BS.

Ja, the pizza gate thing is an embarrassment. How much shyt have you personally leveled at Trump that has come to nought? I wouldn't point fingers, frankly.

I think that happens when YOU sit and like posts, and then fall into the discussion with door and all clinging onto something. Part-taking in the discussion will avoid these kind of issues. Just my 2c

Yes because it was plainly obvious as to whom you were insinuating about.

Who else gets blamed for the Forrestal fire and is called a traitor?

Your post was intellectually dishonest.

Repeatedly posting the same meme in response to what a poster says is trolling, just because you lot think that the "NPC" meme is the height of enlightened criticism doesn't change that fact.

Clearly you were.

If Trump does something and we call him out on it, but his sheeplike followers simply ignore it, it doesn't actually invalidate the criticism.

Just yesterday Trump claimed that he was going to effect a tax cut aimed at the middle class before the midterm elections, that basically has no chance of happening because Congress is closed till after the elections. When questioned about it, he prevaricated and didn't give an answer.

Do I think anything will happen as a result? Of course not, Trump can say whatever he wants without consequence, apparently.
