American Politics

I.... have no words. I mean, what? Is he an idiot? Does he think everyone on the internet is a moron and went out of his way to mock everyone? How could any sane person think this is anything resembling a good idea? Is net neutrality not enough? Does he have to try and ruin star wars? And puppies? He is lucky the puppy doesn't know what net neutrality is because it would have otherwise jumped at his jugular... I mean, he has to be trolling right? Oh well, guess I now gotta apologize to lord comcast for this post.

He's a fucking tool

I pray to all the gods that he didn't ask for the rights to use any of those clips/songs and Disney/HBO/ come out strong against him

Hey, whatta ya know... it has begun.

If there's a time where there's severe violence happening at the FCC office while Ajit is there, I'll turn my back and let the animals do their jobs.
Not only did he not gave 2 shits about what the American People wanted, he made this shitty video to pour salt into people's wounds without a fuck.

So I don't give a fuck if he receives death threats at all, because he never gave any fucks on what the people wanted.

I was wondering if that was possible when seeing the video. Gotta love that the first one to come out against that was the harlem shake. It came out of retirement to defend itself against abject stupidity because even if it would grasp at any straw to try and stay relevant it still does not want to be associated with that. Or that pizzagate idiot. Seriously, why?

That won't happen. God king comcast would simply cut access to google maps and leave only apple maps. There will be no survivors.....

Wait, an applemaps joke in 2017? That's so old.... Is... whatever brain disease that led to that video being a thing contagious?

Just look at him with his stupid mug (both possible meanings). Just look at his comment after one of the FCC members argued against the abolishment of net neutrality 10:17.

Ok, so who is Michael wolff and why would anyone care about what he says?

Ok, so there is this whole thing with that book that is going to be released... Normally I would think that something writen in a book like that shouldn't be taken too seriously unless the person actually was in the administration and and even then add some healthy skepticism in regards to stuff that was said. But if trump's response to this is along the lines of "bannon lost his mind" rather than "come on, that is just some random guy publishing what he claims are "interviews"" or some other variety of calling them liars.... Wouldn't that mean trump just confirmed bannon did say those things? And if bannon did say the stuff that is claimed in the book, then wouldn't that give at least a shred of credibility to the other stuff in it?

did you read Trump's tweet about bigger button for nuclear missiles than Kim?

Well, no, but.... Isn't it obvious trumpy trump has the biggest bligliest bigly most beautiful reddest yugest button that there ever was and ever will be?

 

[M3J]

I'm pretty annoyed at that. I mean, why does he have to make us look so stupid AND potentially incite a nuclear war in the process?

 

[xi0]

Us look stupid? More like his administration (not that they needed help) as well as the buffoons who run Twitter. Pretty laughable that world leaders are somehow exempt from any wrongdoing by making threats towards people, not to mention nuclear war.

Trump has received support and votes and continues to receive support despite his bullshit, so of course it makes us look stupid even though he lost the popular vote.

I think the world thought the US was stupid long before Trump. However, with Obama that changed. Now with electing Trump, everyone thinks the US is stupid. Although, most did vote for Hillary, allowing him to run and be president was what made the world face palm.

Anyone who thinks a country is "stupid" based on who wins an election is equally "stupid". That's the kind of lack of nuance and reductionist view that I have a hard time appreciating.

Well, if they voted for someone with no political experience and solely on emotional hatred than they are fools by definition.

We were stupid for voting for some of our leaders

Yeah but you said yourself, most US voters didn't vote for him. Not particularly interested in taking the blame and wearing a dunce cap when I didn't support or vote for him. And I doubt anyone else would either.

I agree 100%. Obama was the only reason our reputation got salvaged somewhat.

Here's the thing though. Trump still got support and still won, which means there are some people who believe his bullshit and voted for him. While majority of the country did not vote for him, he still won, and that's all anyone would go by when judging us. Not to mention, you have Trump tweeting stupid shit and right wing media being prominent.

It's basically a reductionist view made by people who already didn't have as much respect or love for the US, I guess.

Some, but not most.

And yes, that was my point in saying I disagreed with any kind of assessment like that. I don't think Russians are stupid because Putin is in power (though, this example might not be the best one, it's all I could think of in the moment lol).

We don't think all Americans are stupid, just the ones who support Trump and the system that let him win. After all, it's the country that brought South Park and that show is genius.

 

[M3J]

How do you know it's not the most? Trump supporters didn't really start criticizing him until he went a bit left or tried to compromise, and even then, they went back to supporting him when he kept on going with his bullshit agenda.

But would you think Russians are dumb if they voted for him, and he won the election despite the lies and stupidity?

 

[Onyx Darkmatter]

God-fucking-damnit.
Looks like Ron DeSantis, a Tea-Party hack endorsed by Trump, will run for Florida Governor. He's really just one of those generic Republicans: Repeal the ACA, support the shitty Tax Bill, oppose any form of Gun Control, you name it.

You weren't talking about Trump supporters there, you were talking about the voting population as a whole. That's why I said "some" and not "most"
