2019-09-21 at 5:06 PM UTC in Trump asked Ukraine president to investigate Joe Biden's son 8 times in one phone call, under threat of withdrawing 250 million in military assistance to Ukraine
Originally posted by 8stringflinG I don't care about the one singular comment Bernie made. Literally every single person in existence has said some shit that they could've explained better. There's an interview I saw where he addresses this comment and explains it better, but I can't remember who did it. He's not a racist though, and none of his policies would negatively impact people of any particular race in the way Trump's have.
Also even his lowest paid staffers are making 36,000 a year, with 100% health coverage and two weeks paid vacation. They are not paid hourly, that's their yearly salary agreed upon after his staffers became the first political staffers to unionize. The reason they're complaining was more to do with the hours worked. A 40h work week would put them at about 17.75/h. But they were working sometimes 60h weeks and making more like 12-13/h. Now they've agreed to limit the work week down to 42 or 43 hours which would make it about 15/h. That's what's in their union contract.
I haven't heard of any other political candidate treating their staff this well. Sure, "Bernie refuses to pay staff 15/h" makes a good headline but the reality is not so clean and simple.
I'll make it a point to research Bernie's policies and actions more. I'm still much more in favor of Tulsi Gabbard, however. I'll look for sources to see both Bernie's justification for that one identitarian comment, but I'll also look to see if he hasn't made more such comments.
The other problem I have with Bernie is his stance on deportation. Now, I'll admit, previously Bernie was making sense on border security. So I'm not sure what he meant with not deporting anybody anymore. I'll look into it and scrutinize his position on this topic further, but ... As it stands, I am firmly against open borders policy.
I'll scrutinize and make more research into Bernie but at this point, as I have mentioned before, the entire democratic party is not where I feel at home anymore. I might be wrong on this one, but I also think that Bernie fails to adress Antifa for what they are: a terrorist group.
Bernie also failed to adress and correct course within the democratic party, as pointed out above. I don't remember him calling out the Dems on firing staffers because they're white.
TL;DR: My biggest problems are open borders policies, "forgetfulness" or outright denial of Antifa domestic terrorism and identitarianism. I'll be sure to research Bernie's stances on this more, but so far, Trump fights against all three of those problems to some degree.
So for now ... Unless Tulsi Gabbard makes it ... And until I have done more research ... I'm still going to prefer Trump over anything the left has to offer.
EDIT: Thankyou for a coherent and respectful debate. -
2019-09-21 at 4:56 PM UTC in do you people never take vitamins and live off junk food?I don't take any vitamins, simply because I have no need for it. A lot of my diet is steamed. It includes vegetables, all sorts of dough and meat. Usually in dumpling form.
For exercise, my former lifestyle has taken a toll on me. I can't get rid of the habits. PT every morning at wake-up. PT every evening at sleep.
I so happen to consume alcohol, nicotine and the occasional (once every six months) methylenedioxymethamphetamine 3,4 crystal. I do notice the effects, especially with nicotine, but a good diet and constant PT seems to offset it.
I really want to quit smoking, but right now, it'd mean I'll have to find something else to relieve stress. While I could take more crystals, it's not as widely accepted by society as smoking. And while drinking is also a viable alternative, you yourself know how poisonous that solution is. I usually reserve drunk time to weekends and off-days. -

Originally posted by 8stringflinG This is absolutely ludicrous lol. Trump knows what he's doing? We are facing a recession. We were on an economic upturn for most of Obama's presidency. These high tariffs are negatively impacting American business and causing companies to move overseas, and the Chinese to come take their place.
And the double racism is just a ridiculous flanderization of a minority of the left. You wouldn't say all Trump supporters were racist, would you? Don't buy into the dividing polarization this two party system has created. The crazies on both sides are in the minority, its just that the politicians pander to extremes and give a false image of what the citizen base of these parties is actually like. Nobody questions that corporations control politics in America, so I don't understand why they think those politics are somehow representative of the American populace.
The only candidate for 2020 with any integrity right now is Bernie Sanders, who sounds exactly the same now as he did back in the 1970's. Same message. Somehow even looks the same. Everyone else has flip flopped on their stances. And yeah, even Warren. She's just liberal Hilary Clinton 2.0, and Biden is even worse.
If we want to make American politics actually representative of American opinions we need to ban corporate lobbying and all its gifting loopholes, get rid of the electoral system which creates a disparity in voting power among US citizens, and also abolish this dichromatic dichotomy that creates a system of winners and losers in politics instead of giving politicians power based on how well they did in the vote. So instead of A getting 51% and B getting 49%, and the seat going to A, we should give 51% of power to A and 49% of power to B, like they do in many other democratic countries. Of course, we can't do that with this two party bullshit. It won't work out well. We really need someone crazy enough to abolish both the Republicans and the Democrats.
Yup. Trump knows exactly what he's doing. I'm not saying that what he's doing is right, but he has is under his entire control. A good example would be Trump passing legislation behind the left's back, without any push-back at all. How? By tweeting nonsense.
Because extreme-left pundits are so busy with their social media circlejerks, the vast majority were busy railing on him for his comments about the Squad and his plastic straws. While the truly important things, such as immigration legislation, flew under the radar.
That's exactly why I'm so disgusted with the Democratic party to be honest. Because I disagree with Trump on most policies, but the left has gone so far left that ... I actually prefer Trump to them. Despite being a centrist. I was literally forced out of my center-left position to center-right. Simply because the left is going insane.
I should've perhaps been more clear about my statements. It's the extreme-left which is the racist bigots. Not all of it. But Bernie, for example, is part of them. Remember his statements? "White people don't know what it's like to be poor"? So you're telling me there's nothing wrong with it? Isn't racism exactly that? Defining a person by their race as opposed to their merits?
More importantly, Bernie was pushing for 15$ minimum wage. What did he do when his staffers requested that that exact wage be applied to them? He opted to reduce the quality of his campaign instead. Is that what you call integrity? Demand that others pay more while he himself won't chip in?
I do agree with you on something though. The Democratic party has flipped. And that's my biggest issue. As I mentioned before, if there were any credible Democrats, who'd fight against Trump with policy as opposed to screeching and "equality" based on anti-white racism, then sure. I had a lot of hope for Tulsi Gabbard. But what did the Democratic party do? Get her out of the debates, despite her meeting the criteria. Why? Because she's not woke enough.
I also agree that there should be a position which would allow both the left and the right apply legislation if it makes sense and if the American public is supportive of it. I completely agree that a two party system isn't nearly enough. And I tend to be center, fluctuating between left and right as it goes.
And while certainly, not all of the Democratic party is racist. Such a statement would be foolish and ignorant. The problem is, that those who lead the democratic power are. Again, I urge you to take a look at Democratic staffers resigning or being kicked out because they're white. Would that happen if the bigots and racists within the left were a minority? Possibly. But what would that mean? That would mean that this minority holds power.
And the minority isn't looking out for you, me or any average American. Unless you're part of that minority.

2019-09-21 at 3:56 PM UTC in Trump asked Ukraine president to investigate Joe Biden's son 8 times in one phone call, under threat of withdrawing 250 million in military assistance to UkraineSorry Techhie, but I'm with the opposition on this one. Not only did Biden gloat about it himself, but his own idiocy about admitting to bailing out his son are much more proof than anything the corporate media has been producing so far.
As for Trump ... The extreme-left insanity is worse. I for one think that Trump is bad, but hey, not that bad. He's a reality TV show star, elected for a President, and he still acts like it to some degree. Then the democratic side are busy raging about ... Straws and sharpies.
Trump may be boorish, pompous and egotistical. But he knows what he's doing. The alternatives ... Not so much. I also don't accept politi-fact as a credible source, as they uphold their political values above facts. They're all over the place when it comes to Trump, but they completely forget about many issues which their preferred political side faces. For instance, you won't hear them condemn and call out Antifa for what they really are: a terrorist group.
You won't hear them condemn the blatant racism and double standards that the DNC is guilty of. Now, not that I care about racism much, because I'm of the opinion that words, so long as they're not direct calls to terrorism, don't matter. Sticks and stones and such. But that's more than words. Democrats have been resigning because they're white. Because diversity is now more important than competence. Let that sink in. People resigned. Because of their race.
I may not like Trump, but I'd rather support the President than a bunch of double standard racists which is what the left has become as of late. And what bothers me most isn't even that they're racists. It's the double standards. Claiming moral superiority while pushing anti-white, anti-cis bigotry. I'm not even white myself. I've suffered hate due to it. My body still bears the scars. Those will remain until my death.
But even I can see the lunacy. US is slowly becoming the next South Africa, where killing a man because he's white is widely accepted and normalized, because according to left-wing bigots, anti-white racism isn't a thing. -
2019-09-21 at 3:44 PM UTC in ISIS leader calls on fighters to free detained comradeshttps://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/2019/09/16/isis-leader-calls-on-fighters-to-free-detained-comrades/
BEIRUT — The leader of the Islamic State group released a new alleged audio recording Monday calling on members of the extremist group to do all they can to free ISIS detainees and women held in jails and camps.
The purported audio by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in which he also said that his group is carrying out attacks in different countries, was his first public statement since April, when the shadowy leader appeared in a video for the first time in five years.
In the 30-minute recording released by a media arm of the group, Al-Furqan, al-Baghdadi asked: “How can a Muslim enjoy life?” when Muslim women are held in camps he called “prisons of humiliation run by Crusaders and their Shiite followers.”
What's your opinion on this, folks? I for one believe that SDF will turn a blind eye and "lose" some of those prisoners (most important ones, too) the moment Uncle Sam quits watching over their shoulder. -
