  1. Yeah, but man are you ever rigging that game.
  2. Police brutality in the USA is hard to believe?
  3. If all the non leftist academics are being silenced then how come you keep posting freely available YouTube videos from right wing academics? Why are you determined to feel like a victim when you’re clearly not being victimised?
  4. Three different mass shootings in three different towns' high school homecoming celebrations in Mississippi this weekend. Does that cross the threshold for National Guard mobilisation?

    Trump

    It'll probably kick off the invasion of Greenland because he doesn't know the difference between Norway and Denmark.
  6. "Trump floated on Monday that he was considering invoking the Insurrection Act to justify the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, Ore.. The president called the situation in Portland an “insurrection.” " The man who was the leader of a real life insurrection and who pardoned all his co-insurrectionists.

    Trump

    Why does that make it weird? Highly intelligent people can be just as racist as idiots like Pete Hegseth and Charlie Kirk.
  8. I think you need to break down that sentence 'cos... wut?
  9. When were you too scared to say “all lives matter”?
  10. Where do the academics you quote who criticise the progressive movement come from then?
  11. And yet it is almost a certainty he supported the blanket pardons of the people who actually tried to overthrow the government.
  12. That's nice. Where is it mandatory to pay off a porn star and commit business fraud and tax fraud to cover it up? 'Apparently' word for word? I take it, then, that you haven't checked whether it's true that it is word for word or whether that's a blatant lie? You just heard it from one of your MAGA sources and took it as gospel, the same way you seem to always believe any attack against any prominent woman?
  13. Once again your description of the Nazis as the rational choice for normal people clashes with your visible confusion that anyone would ever describe you as being on the far right. In ways that you have never once been able to articulate ever. Wait, I'm sorry that was unfair - ways that you have never even tried to articulate.
  14. They’re not trying to hide it so no one cares. It’s the ultimate secret weapon of the MAGA movement. When they invent baseless allegations against the Democrats it immediately looks like the Dems have something to hide - and people hate the idea that they’re being screwed over behind their backs. Then when the Trump royal family does massive corruption out in the wide open it’s just like ‘hey, better the devil I know’. “It's one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted...and I was the U.S. attorney in New Jersey." Christie’s also a dick but that’s gold.
  15. That’s what you said. You only quote academics based on their ideas, not their race, and you almost exclusively quote black academics. So how do you explain the fact that black academics have all the good ideas at the moment? How come white profs can’t come up with anything worth repeating?
  16. You’d take to the streets to protest against a nothing meme? Why?
  17. Wut? Yeah exactly, who would you protest against?
  18. Right - I will happily concede that it is an entirely colourblind approach that leads to you only quoting black academics, because it just so happens to be the case that only black academics have ideas worth quoting. I’m not arguing with you on that. Im just wondering why you think that is the case right now. What do you think has lead to black academics dominating the arena of ideas and white academics having nothing interesting to say?
  19. Wut? Honestly mate, proclaiming you don’t know how to use a quotation mark is not the win you think it is.
  20. I see, you personally find that almost no white academics have ideas worth listening to, only black academics are any good? Why do you think that is?
  21. How many times have you dehumanised George Floyd? I didn't realise you were such a pinko commie.
  22. Everyone who thinks about it for two seconds can highlight the difference. A representative of the government killed George Floyd in a way that large parts of the government approved of. A random guy with no known political affiliations killed Charlie Kirk. Who would you go and demonstrate against?
  23. Funny how time changes perspective. Pretty sure that fifteen years ago most people here would have agreed that several of the most powerful men in GWB’s policy group were competent and malevolent, which might be the worst of all combinations.
  24. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he deployed the military to Bethpage overnight to stop the Europeans running riot at the Ryder Cup. But seriously he described sending the military to a US city as a deployment to a war zone and said he'd authorized 'full force'. The tipping point into undeniable overt fascism is definitely in the rear view mirror at this point. You can only hope the officers and troops are smart enough to realise they do not have any of the blanket immunity that Trump does.
  25. GWB’s group fabricated the intelligence that led to the invasion of Iraq. GWB’s group created the Afghan quagmire and set its government up for failure. They made no attempt to understand the politics of the region before setting up a random warlord as President and sending a couple of college kids to write him a constitution. Culminating in the ‘08 financial crash GWBs entire presidency was a global disaster of seismic proportions, the aftershocks and ramifications of which created the conditions of misery and dissatisfaction that Trump himself capitalised on in his campaigns.
