The characteristics of a good citizen include being honest, fair, patriotic, and having a big cock.
The opposite of being a good citizen is being a traitor.
So.. what do we call people who are dishonest, unfair, resist the government, and have a tiny dick?
I call them moonbats, but traitor also works.
Tim Farron finally quit as leader of the UK's LibDem party (leftists). He is a homophobe and religious nutter, yet his party supported him as leader.
So tell me again how it's the conservatives who are homophobes.
It's also the case that homophobes are often people who are covering up something in their own lives.
For instance, in Canada, there was this 60 year old "Safety Minister" who was constantly railing against people who worked in adult entertainment, especially gay ones. Well.. this 60 year old.. who was supposed to be a devout Mennonite (sort of like Amish) with a solid marriage.. was screwing a 15 year old girl. He got caught by his wife, she filed for divorce, and he quickly resigned in 2013. His name is Vic Toews.
No sure if you've noticed. But, the leftists on this board don't typically start their posts with insults or use insults toward their political opponents.
Is this some sort of sick joke? Leftists on this board dish out the insults every bit as much as Frederick does, including you in this very thread. Don't be a hypocrite.
I don't consider calling a piece of crap "shit" an insult. If I were to make up a word.. such as "Wagdoodle" and apply it to posters such as Sutieday and DrWas, they would consider "Wagdoodle" to be an insult. On the other hand.. any label they made up to apply to me would be a compliment! If they started calling me a "Wagdoodle", then "Wagdoodle" would be elevated to the status of being a positive compliment.
At least 27 Republicans have sought professional advice over concerns that working for President Trump's administration could damage their reputation, according to The Washington Post.
Republicans told the Post they have turned down White House job offers and sought out head-hunters due to their worries.
The report comes as the Trump administration grapples with the ongoing investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling, which has reportedly caused potential employees to think twice about any opportunities available in the administration.
The anxiety Republicans feel about working for the administration has apparently complicated the process of filling administration posts. The Trump administration has moved slowly on hires since the president took office in January.
There was a new poll posted today about spam.
Just how many times are you going to post the same garbage about Trump's popularity?
Let me tell you in case you missed the memo. Trump will be president for another 3.5 years. He's 12% done. Almost all incumbents are re-elected unless the economy is in the toilet or the candidate pukes on the prime minister of Japan right before the election and has a 3rd party spoiler such as Ross Perot. So.. enjoy the next 7.5 years of Trump.
No self respecting Republican would ever want anything to do with Trump. That's why he has so many supporters.
LOL, "self respecting Republican" sounds like an oxymoron!
That is half correct, which is 50% more correct than you usually are.
You should have said "self respecting politician" sounds like an oxymoron.
Donald Trump.. is not a politician.. which is both why he WAS elected, and why he almost was NOT elected because of a lack of strong support from the republicans. A LARGE number of people did not vote FOR Donald Trump.. they were voting AGAINST Hillary Clinton. The non-politician vs the uber corrupt politician.
My new signature, to me, is to promote a resistance to the staus quo and that to truly move on we must find some form of common ground and use it to start building better dialogue.
The image itself, the word, even the color choice are both associated with Antifa and Communism.
Look up "resist" on google images. These images are similar, and they are all associated with far-left, often violent rhetoric.
So the language, the image, the color palette, all these three things are all associated with the violent far left.
Look, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that all of these choices may have been unintentional and/or subconscious. But if you're going to continue insisting that simply pointing out these obvious associations is me "just making a huge assumption" about you, and not simply pointing out clear associations; if you're going to continue trying to gaslight me into thinking like I'm trying to pull some armchair psychoanalyst crap here;
Then I'm going to have to tell you to fuck right off with your intellectually dishonest uncivil horseshit.
But of course, I don't want to do that, I DO want things to be more civil around here.
We can start here. Whether intentional or not, your banner conveys far left extremism that is not AT ALL conducive to civil dialogue between people of opposing views.
I have one thing to add to your comment.
It's not so much a dialogue between people of opposing views. It's a battle between people who make things up, twist facts, omit facts, ignore facts, and have a bone-deep desire to harm President Trump and undermine anything he does, no matter what he does.
I would suggest these people go play on Facebook, where that kind of behavior is rewarded. Facebook is extremely left wing - and probably the worlds largest data mining operation. They have become the "NSA" that is not governed by anybody, and operates outside of any legal jurisdiction. At the moment, Facebook has gotten away with doing anything they want. Very few people know this, but tracking cookies in your computer are sent to websites you visit. It is illegal for websites to archive those cookies linked to your accounts and ip address… EXCEPT with a very few exceptions.. including FACEBOOK. That bozo Zuckerberg didn't get $45 billion in his pocket by selling soap or appliances or digging ditches. He got it from having a monopoly on the personal information of it's subscribers, and selling it to anybody who pays for it. I would LOVE to see someone ask Fuckerberg how he made all that money.. what is being sold.. who is paying it?
Please take the time to respond to this poll. I, along with others, feel like this forum is completely out of control. It has gotten so toxic that a user has resorted to attacking underage children with highly disgusting and offensive comments. There were multiple calls not to politicize a recent shooting in America involving a Congressman and several others for at least 24 hours and people decided to politicize it anyway. This is serious. It should not be this hard to remain civil, especially when it comes to tragedies. I admit, even I have gotten in heated discussions on here and have said stupid things, but I have realized that constant name calling and other childish behavior does not help anything. Beyond that, the point of debating about politics is to not only establish your position on different topics, but to defend your position and explain why you believe the opposing position is wrong. Name calling does not accomplish that point. Deflecting does not accomplish that point. We need a reset on here and I don't know if that requires more rules or what, but something needs to change because this is ridiculous. There's a reason why the most recent forum posts were removed from this site's homepage, because toxicity level of this politics thread was offending people coming to the site.
Your poll is an excellent example of how polls can be so biased and misleading.
You offered two choices - with interpretations attacked to them.
A. Yes, I believe the name calling and spamming is out of control
B. No, being uncivil is the only way I can get my point across
I would tend to say "A", however, I don't think it is out of control. The people doing it are the moonbats, and they just make fools of themselves doing it. The moonbats have called Trump everything imaginable with little or no facts to back it up, threaten his life, threaten his family, scare his 10 year old boy with a completely realistic image of his father's severed head, called the boy autistic, called for Trump's impeachment, etc. If being called a moonbat to put a label on those lunatics posting that garbage offends them.. Boo hoo! I'll send you a box of Kleenex. I would suggest that these people go plant their turnip in a mine field.
"B" is what the moonbats should select, but none of them will - because they are spineless slugs.
The basic issue is.. the Cretans do not like to be called out and identified. They would prefer to live in a cave.. attack anonymously.. and never be held accountable for their nasty attacks.
I will just say that much good could be accomplished by deleting threads and posts that lack any topical political content, and only seek to antagonize, belittle or insult those with differing views.
A policy to toss any thread that focuses on "tards," "turds" or "bats" would be a fine place to start. :cheers:
The problem with that idea is that almost all of the threads that lack any topical political content and contain false statements and are spam are created by the "tards", "turds", and "bats". In other words.. you.
Yes, but the news media (including Fox) implied that the destroyer hit the merchant ship.
Another consideration is that merchant ships typically run on auto-pilot when in open water. I'm not sure where this collision occurred. It COULD be that the destroyer was trying to force the merchant ship to stop or change course, and their bravado backfired on them. That sort of thing often happens with whale boats & green peace boats.I can almost guarantee that the captain of the navy destroyer won't ever be the captain of another ship.
You are speculating. And he captain was hurt in the collision. But you are right, his days as a captain are probably over.
I once met a pilot of a barge who was responsible for knocking down a major bridge and killing 35 people. (He was high on marijuana at the time). After that incident, he was stripped of his license to pilot barges in and out of the ports.. but you will not believe what his next job was… TEACHING people to pilot barges!!!
There is a massive difference between being the one that is hit.. and being the one that did the hitting. The front (bow) of the merchant ship is damaged, while the side (starboard / right side) of the Navy Destroyer is damaged.
Videos of cars dashing across train tracks at the last minute only to get hit by a train help to explain this accident perfectly. They're usually the result of one party believing they can cross the path of another party quickly enough to get out of the way. The destroyer dashed in front of the merchant ship, believing that they could get out of the way in time: "I'm smaller, I'm faster!" only to be proved wrong.
T-Bone type accidents like this are very common in shipping, and are seen all the time in intersections with red-light runners.
That is entirely possible and plausible..
However, I would add that those destroyers can go EXTREMELY fast.. In fact, that destroyer should have been able to hit the speed, and turn away even at the last second.
Furthermore.. let's just say to make a point that the merchant ship was intentionally trying to ram the navy destroyer (I'm sure that is not the case). But even if that WERE the case, it should have been extremely easy for the navy destroyer to avoid being hit.
One other thing.. which someone who has served in the navy could answer. When at sea, do navy vessels ever come to a complete stop? I would think not.. because that would increase the odds of them being hit with a missile or torpedo exponentially.
*** I have to add one personal anecdote. I was once an assistant manager in an office. We hired this guy who served in the navy and had just gotten out. The entire staff was about 20 people, and we all went out on a chartered deep sea fishing trip as a mini-holiday. Out of the 20 people.. only ONE was seasick and puking the entire trip! Mr Navy! That was hilarious. I hated that guy. We kept him on… mainly because the #3 guy in the office was his bestest buddy. I got fed up with that office, and quit. The manager got re-assigned.. making #3 the manager.. and within the first month of being manager, he fired his bestest buddy Mr. Navy! haha...
When being the back-seat driver of the office, #3 was the big defender for Mr. Navy.. but when he got to be the boss.. he sent Mr. Navy packing quick! About 6 months later, that manager got fired because they had nobody to maintain the computers after I left, and a year after that the office closed. Oh, and in that same office.. I got a husband & wife fired after I left. They were stealing about $1000 worth of office supplies per month, and using it to operate their own office. I raised holy hell about that, but the out-of-state owners didn't believe me. After I quit, I was working on the computer of this old guy's computer.. and found a business card of the husband & wife and the address of their little office that they were doing side jobs in. This old guy was working WITH that husband & wife doing checking for them. Well.. "somebody" (cough cough) faxed that business card to the out of state owners.. and within an HOUR.. the husband & wife were FIRED! Hasta la vista, Baby!
At least the Russians have valid reasons to protest, unlike liberal Americans.
People shouldn't need a "valid reason" to protest. This is the difference between liberals and conservatives, conservatives prefer the status quo and don't like change.
What?
Sutieday says "People shouldn't need a 'valid reason' to protest" ???? Really?
.. and when Sutieday says "conservatives prefer the status quo and don't like change" what he really means is that "liberals are never satisfied with anything UNLESS it is of their own creation.. and then they cling onto it forever, no matter how damaging it is"
Amid a broadening investigation of Russian contacts with his associates and his own role in trying to stop it, President Trump fired off another angry tweet this past week repeating his assertion that he has no business interests in Russia.
But while no Trump Tower graces the Moscow skyline, the Russian authorities recently made sure that another piece of valuable property — the intellectual kind — bearing the same name remained safely in Mr. Trump’s portfolio.
Last year, while hacking Democrats’ emails and working to undermine the American presidential election, the Russian government also granted extensions to six trademarks for Mr. Trump that had been set to expire. The Trump trademarks, originally obtained between 1996 and 2007 for hotels and branding deals that never materialized, each had terms that were coming to an end in 2016.
Despite their inactivity, the Trump Organization sought extensions for the trademarks from Rospatent, the Russian government agency in charge of intellectual property. In a series of approvals starting in April 2016 and ending in December, Rospatent granted new 10-year terms for the trademarks, the agency’s records show.
Is that the best you can do?
You must be desperate for something to attack.
What's next? You will accuse Trump of preferring red licorice, cherry jello, and strawberry tarts as proof that Trump loves reds?
Regardless of your opinion of the source, it doesn't change the fact that Trump seems to have admitted to being investigated.
"Witch Hunt" just like they did to Hillary…
Name one time that Hillary was harassed or investigated for something she didn't do?
It's incredible that she is not in prison.
The "sheriff" wants to continue making a fool of himself on TV instead.
Ya know.. unlike moonbats who tend to cluster together and all follow the same agenda and vote the same way…
I am not biased.. I don't hesitate to point out nonsense on both sides.
I can't stand Gorsuch.. I despise Paul Ryan and John McCain. I don't trust Reince Priebus (where did he get that name?), and as for sheriffs.. I'd like to get my hands on that old fart Joe Arpaio and teach him about "hard justice". He was so proud of how hard he was on people (regardless of whether they were guilty of anything). I'm quite sure I could eclipse Joe and teach him a few things about being harsh. Ironically, I have very rarely had the opportunity to discipline anybody. They almost ALWAYS destroy their own lives before I get an opportunity to show them some attention. The last two accomplishments were within the last 2 years.. getting a code enforcement officer fired, and getting a lawyer disbarred. I also took part in getting a doctor who worked for the county fired, but she was under investigation at the time I put the final nail in her casket.
Clarke notified Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly on Friday of his decision, according to reports.
(Reuters) - Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, an African-American who became a staunch critic of the Black Lives Matter movement and a supporter of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, has withdrawn his acceptance for a job as assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. newspapers reported on Saturday.
Clarke notified Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly on Friday of his decision, Craig Peterson, an adviser to Clarke, said in a statement, according to the Washington Post and other newspapers.
“Sheriff Clarke is 100 percent committed to the success of President Trump and believes his skills could be better utilized to promote the president’s agenda in a more aggressive role,” the newspapers quoted Peterson as saying.
Neither the agency nor Clarke’s office immediately responded to requests for comment.
Your topic headline insinuates that Sheriff Clarke is at odds with Trump.
However, for the first time ever, you included the pertinent facts in the body of your comment. Give yourself a hand job.
Apparently Clarke wants to have a more aggressive role in promoting Trump's agenda.
This story has me puzzled. The media are reporting this as the Navy destroyer colliding with the merchant ship. Yet, the pictures don't show that. There is a massive difference between being the one that is hit.. and being the one that did the hitting.
The photos show that the front (bow) of the merchant ship is damaged, while the side (starboard / right side) of the Navy Destroyer is damaged. In other words, the merchant ship rammed into the side of the Navy destroyer unless the captain of the destroyer has some secret method of travelling through the water sideways.Don't blame the media . The verb "collide" is intransitive, especially when using with two moving objects. he container ship obviously hi he destroyer, but i was both their faults for being too close. And Sutieday, you need to read your history before you go spouting off your mouth. This accident could have happened under any president since Truman .
Yes, but the news media (including Fox) implied that the destroyer hit the merchant ship.
Another consideration is that merchant ships typically run on auto-pilot when in open water. I'm not sure where this collision occurred. It COULD be that the destroyer was trying to force the merchant ship to stop or change course, and their bravado backfired on them. That sort of thing often happens with whale boats & green peace boats.
I can almost guarantee that the captain of the navy destroyer won't ever be the captain of another ship.
This old hag, her chances are none,
Her political prospects, they are done;
With a Knick-knack paddywhack,
She couldn't give a nymphomaniac a bone,
This old bitch can just go home.

Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren warns Trump that he "Ain't Seen Nasty Yet". He will if he watches this video.

I don't need to use mod info. He says it here all the time. He constantly claims that I am biased against liberals, yet he's not been punished for breaking the very rules he loves to complain about. He wants a biased ultra leftist mod, like him, to replace me so his enemies get banned.
He's proven, yet again, that he's an extreme hypocrite.
Ok, I can't for the life of me figure out how to send you a private message, so you have my permission to delete this after reading.
This forum needs some goddamn rules, and those rules need to be enforced. Go take a look at Spacebattles.com they have a very active forum, and they have an equal mix of political views, some would say the lean a bit more to the conservative side of things, others would say they're leaning a bit more to the left. Which is pretty much an indication that t's near-neutral.
You won't see people screaming and yelling, you won't see people hurling childish insults, like moonbats, trumptards, libtards, because they have some very strict rules against that. Those rules apply to everybody, left, right AND centre. The moderators will delete, move, or warn people for breaking those rules.
Not only that, but if you make a claim, you'd better back that claim up with proof. If you go and state "Person X is a pedophile", you'd better deliver court documents that prove that person X is a kiddy-fiddler, lest you get warned or banned. Same goes for arguments, you cannot debate in bad faith, you cannot make overt personal attacks.
The system is way more transparent, but on top of that, more productive and fair.
You really to take a look there, maybe even participate in their political forums. I can tell you one thing, the standard for debate and discussion is way higher there… and they loathe SJWs.
Your comment is fascinating. If you look at the history of this forum, you will see that it has been used and abused en masse by the moonbats. It's only recently that the moonbats are being beaten back by more than 1 person.
Moonbats always demand 100% freedom of speech to say whatever they want - even if it's blatantly false - yet they don't want to be held accountable for ANYTHING. They demand full documentation and proof.. yet offer none themselves - in fact, they blatantly make things up, omit the relevant parts of stories, and twist reality 180 degrees. The moonbats tools are whining, deceiving, protesting, boycotting, investigating, lying, anonymous sources, leaks, etc.
I checked out Spacebattles. It's almost entirely about gaming, and the only other thing they have is generic. They steer clear of politics and religion which are the most divisive issues.
This post is click bait and has nothing to do with politics and debate. Typically these posts are made by alt-right posters (Frederick and others). But they're alt-right, so it's alright with the mods.
You are a real piece of work. YOU are the foremost rule breaker in this forum.. and constantly bitch about other people.
This post was very much on topic.. the topic of debating a festering pest like yourself - and why you even bother? The only thing you accomplish (other than to be annoying) is to make a fool of yourself.
It's funny, because that troupe does whatever president happens to be in power… so in the Obama years it was Obama-Caesar getting assassinated. Snowflakes, I guess.
There is no way in hell that they would ever get away with depicting an assassination of Obama.
