American Politics

[shionoro]

That was my triggered response. I happen to love in NYC & I'm a Black male from where most black males live the hood...So my outlook and perspective of America as one of its minorities that has to live through its Shittyness is different from others. I could write for pages about America & it's politics etc etc.

The violence im promoting is simply Good vs Evil. Wrong vs Right. When Evil arises with violence, dissary, disunity, threatens the safety of civilians. It should be put down. Domestically. Foreign Policy is tricky but yea Relief & sanctions should be placed on F'dUp Nations to.

Any & all Hate groups should be on terror watch list. Etc

Like Salty mentioned these old,primal culture of fear & distrust of other Men & women from different backgrounds is disgusting to see in America still.

The current evilness in the establishment need to be drawn out. Because they aren't going to go willingly & obviously have supports from all walks of life...Militia's, Gun owners, Ex & current military. They need another L & a big fuckin one. Beause from no perspective do their hate filled speeches make fricking sense, & they are willingly to be violent & die or this cause....They gotta go I'm sorry.

It is never a good idea to invoke 'good vs evil' in domestic politics. It always backfires and always did.
Because unless you purge all the gun owners, they are not going away by rendering them as demons.

you know ( Racism.Hatred.Fear )is basic human instinct for all humans, there has always been war and Hatred between different cultures and believes and its not changing...

You should come to Canada. Our Prime Minister wears pink shirts to stand up to bullying.

A civil war sounds like a bad idea, especially in this day and age.

Whatever happened to the days when everyone agreed nazis were objectively and unequivocally evil and it was fine to call them that regardless of context? I bet pepperidge farm remembers.

It's only relatively recently pink has been associated with femininity at all, in the Edwardian era pink would be for a baby boy and pale blue for a girl as pink was closer to red = blood = war and pale blue was more delicate and looked prettier on fair babies. And even that was more of a marketing gimmick to make people buy a second set of baby clothes rather than re using them for their second, third child etc, before that neither colour had any gender connotations at all - as it should be really, because pink being a 'girly' colour and blue being 'masculine' is a pretty stupid idea when you think about it for a nanosecond, it's an entirely conditioned and artificial perception thats only been around for about a century out of 5000 years plus of human civilisation, and then only really in the West...

What kind of liberal snowflake war-on-Christmas wishy washy nonsense is this?!

But in all seriousness, how did color come to be associated with masculinity and femininity? I can see why it's biologically important to determine s/o based on how masculine/feminine they are, but color?

Early 1900s marketing shenanigans basically.

Yeah, the same reason people pay ridiculous amounts of money for diamonds.

And trumpy trump disbanded his business advisory council.... I guess they got tired of winning SO MUCH. On a mor serious note, I am guessing they thought something along the lines of "Ok, there is no harm in being in the council of a jackass who clearly has no leadership whatsoever and knows virtually nothing about manufacturing but I cannot be an adviser to someone who is at best a nazi/kkk enabler and at worst simpatizases with them".

No comprendo.

What's scary is that there are still people defending and supporting Trump. And every time Trump supporting Nazis gets brought up, they deflect to Hillary and her seeing a KKK member as her mentor, or Obama and how he doesn't call ISIS by its name or some shit. Incorrectly, that is. Jeez.

I'd argue it's pretty much the opposite of that - it's these modern liberal minded snowflakes dressing their boys up in girly blue and having their girls play soldier in militaristic pink

^ pretty much that

So, how long until trumpy trump calls everyone a meany and complains about himself being bullied and quits? He fired the remains of his business advisory comission before they could quit, he does not get along with Paul Ryan and congress, he attacked Mcconnel and the senate, a number of positions remain unfilled presumably because people just don't want to work for him and his whole presidency is basically a shit show where he does not have any real policy victories. The most he has gotten so far is a half passed but still shaky at best muslim ban that could still get overruled. And even freaking Steve Bannon gave an interview where he basicaly threw trump under the bus when he said there was never a military option against north korea and they are still getting basically ass raped by china who is not going to cooperate with the US on north korea. Of course, bannon's opinion on trade is just about less than worthless but that doesn't change he basically went against what trump has been saying on a number of things. So, is there even a point to a trump presidency right now? Trump needs to actually learn how to make deals and negotiate if he wants make amends with his party in the house and senate at least.

I feel extremely sorry for these people. Pity to see that this kind of mentality still persists over there. (~7:30)

Why do Americans think everything in Nov-Dec is a war on Christmas? Mostly by Republicans? It's a side note but relevant to US politics.

I don't think he will, he'll just keep chugging on until he loses power and/or loses support from his base. Republicans aren't likely to do much either because Trump still goes with their agenda and can serve as a great distraction as they pass along their bullshit policies. If nothing else, Trump will just keep on bullshitting about how the politicians are standing in his way while pretending he's getting shit tons done.

Methinks it's because they don't like "Happy holidays" and think it's too politically correct. Plus, Starbucks' cups weren't Christmas themed anymore, so that got the right wings' panties in a bunch. It's dumb, tbh.

You can tell Trump is a puppet and something terrible is about to happen.

Which I find hilarious because reindeer, snow and mistletoe weren't around in ancient Palistine where Jesus was born (he wasn't even born in December) and red is considered a "Christmas Colour". I think in the US you have some people who are very extreme in seperating any religion and you have those that want Right winged American Christianity in everything. In France and Québec, they try to separate it but it's to the point where someone in the government can't wear a cross necklace to work. Or banning women from wearing burkinis . You can't please everyone when there is restrictions on what to wear. However, got can't force your beliefs in laws because laws are supposed to be neutral, and protect everyone.

Why can't more countries be like Canada where they don't care if someone is religious or atheistic? Christmas is a decided day off by the government so might as well enjoy the relaxation whatever you believe in

I am not suggesting republicans are going to do anything. If anything, right now it seems likely that republicans won't move a finger for trump, which is a worst case scenario. Now, that is just the short term and it is completely possible they all get back in line eventually behind trump. They are going for tax cuts next which should be a fair bit simpler than obamacare repeal to pass as it is plausible they get a few democrat voters on that. Now, if trump screws that up...

 

[Newkerzy]

Well, this is interesting...... So... Bannon's out. What now?

Who knows. The US effectively doesn't have a president now.... I guess the big question is whether this will result in trump acting different. Which we likely are a twitter tantrum away from finding out. One way or the other bannon being out is good news though.
