American Politics

[Aonori]

Speeches are not an investment.
Speeches are interesting for banks because banks get their inside knowledge due to that, which is very important for future investments.

Clinton telling them inside knowledge about the personality of, for example, people like middle eastern leaders, about political situations and problems in different countries and so on is very valuable.
That is why she gets paid for it.

You can see that a lot of politicians who will never be active in high profile politics again get money for such speeches.

It's not about the speeches LMAO it's about what happens to policies after the winner that got the investment does and I already know the BS that follows with those sort of connections in a presidency, my country is very good when it comes to corrupt transnational paid politicians, so I already know politicians being invested by outside elements isnt a good thing, if anything it's risky for the people who will be under said politician's policies and we dont even know how deep the deal goes (in my country the sold out politicians got some nice jobs on transnationals after getting out of their seats).

The only lose scenario is if the investment pick fails, to get to the power spot (what happened to hillary and even then they can still just invest on other options (looking at you Soros)), thats all I'm saying on this, kind of stuff, it's not respectable by any means to me.

It´s funny how Trump´s presidency is making radicals go on overheat mode, LMAO

Soooooo conservative republicans, people you'd normally think are far right wingers, are calling alt-right, a further far right wing group, left wingers and facists? It's official, no one knows what right-left wing means anymore and the word facism has less than zero meaning somehow.

It's a case of "no true Scotsman" due to bad PR.

If regulations worked, then why did even EPA fall victim to causing an oil spill or even being a cause of the flint water crisis. If regulations worked why have oil spills happened/continued to happen, or defunct power plants having their toxic byproducts emptied into the environment?

I never said all regulations work, but how in the hell did the EPA caused oil spills and even the Flint Water Crisis? I don't get where you're coming from about the Oil Spill one, but the Water Crisis happened because Snyder and his Officials switched the water pipes to the Flint River (which is known for being toxic). Maybe you're saying how the EPA handled the crisis, which would be fair to say that.

Oil spills and power plant malfunctions may still harm the environment because of accidents (which is fine as long as the companies fixes the issue asap). Regulations are made to prevent companies from intentionally harming the environment.

Ah, the Gold King Mine Spill makes a lot of sense.

Dunno exactly when he made his speech, but his Twitter remark was made on 19th Feb @ 1:57pm


He probably just heard Fox say it, believed it (because he is a moron and doesn't bother checking anything) and so instantly said it, as it fits with his rhetoric.

The problem is that he knows he can say whatever he likes, then issue a statement to justify/correct what he said, as most people won't remember his later statement and the damage will already be done.
It isn't really all that new of a technique to spread false information.

Or rather, they'll believe it anyway and cry fake media whenever they call him out. Trump's done a great job of manipulating eople.

Hey there world look at our corporate owned news!

Jimmy is taking Venezuela's government seriously? Come the fuck on, venezuela's government is a miserable and failing dictatorship. They have been suppressing press for well over a decade. So when he asks "wouldn't it be great if we could do this in america?" the answer is "NO!" you god damn moron. Jimmy dore wouldn't last 2 days in venezuela... What's next? Fidel castro as the epitome of human rights defense? Hitler the least xenophobic man alive? Mijica wasn't part of a guerrilla? Putin loves independent press?

Trump really is shaking American, quite interesting. And though some loathe his methods , others see the benefits.

There are a few stories out there about republicans moving away from the whole "repeal and replace" regarding obamacare. Call me crazy but are some republicans about to start fighting for it?

 

[Aonori]

Oh god, now we gonna have Obamacare turf wars on congress to decide on either repeal, or just changing it?

There are a few stories out there about republicans moving away from the whole "repeal and replace" regarding obamacare. Call me crazy but are some republicans about to start fighting for it?

Indeed they are, my my this obamacare stuff just became controversial as fuck, some dont want this or that option, or the increased prices, whereas others are ripping off the benefits from it, 1st class controversy at best, (I feel bad for both sides).

Well as long as they remove a lot of the BS options and the increased inflactioned pricing it can still be maintained but if that will remain, it´s just delaying the inevitable to let it continue.

So today is the day the DNC gets a new Chairman. I haven't checked it out and all, but I don't know how things will unfold for the next few years...

...And the Alex Jones vs James Colbert on Trump continues (this time PewDiePie is brought up for a title and thumbnail, where he´s only talked about for 2-3 minutes) LMAO:

Spoiler: Plastic juice boxes

Alex knew what he was saying there, studies prove it (watched one of those before)

Why are we linking to InfoWars unironically?

It's always great to see two sides try to politicize someone for their benefit who isn't the least bit political... The whole thing was a complete media hitjob, end of story. It doesn't invalidate everything said about other "enemies of the left media", not even someone like Milo (but that's another topic altogether).

So it wouldnt be onesided when someone else decided to start posting about James Colbert´s bashes on Trump and Alex Jones, of course! (but dont worry, I will stop)

Eitherway, it´s funny how the Pewdiepie eff is real, and is used to mention on how some of the bashed media is actually getting them bigger instead, frightening too though.

What does one-side matter, when the source you're quoting is a massive charlatan? Like, memes aside, there's nothing worthy of attention there... Colbert is a comedian; it's satire, Jones could be as well when he's not pretending to be otherwise...

To be honest both Jones and Colbert seem like Charlatans to me (but not on David´s level LMAO), but their tension about trump and how they try to expose each other showcase a difference between the two and there is no denying that when it came to the plastic juice boxes Colbert didnt knew jackshit about what he was trying to make fun of exposing.

I also find this whole conflict between different media to be very comparable to Youtube anime community drama wars, you start a beef to get more attention (and possibly some extra subs), there´s really not much more to it, they are focusing their energy into bashing each other afterall.

And this bashing was also behind Trump´s rising to be president he ended up getting more attention from the media afterall.
