Re: President Trump
I'm no fan of Rosie O'Donnell but it bears acknowledging that she is not commander-in-chief and is not in possession of the nuclear codes. Her temperament or lack thereof is of no consequence to anybody but I'd say the real headline is that we are all now facing four years of Trump being a missed nap away from triggering mass annihilation.
When Rosie says "I'd bomb the shit out of them" the worst she could be alluding to is stopping up multiple hotel toilets after a Mexican food binge.

Re: President Trump
Not a Rosie fan. Don't hate, just don't care. Exitflagger is correct.
Is the Trump kid autistic? Rosie didn't pull that one out of her ass. It's been online ever since Melania said she wasn't moving into the White House, so Barron could finish school. Of course, every other family HAS moved into the White House, it goes with the job. That's where I first saw the "but Trump's not taking a salary and that will cover the cost of Securing Trump Tower". Math is not a strong suit for some for DeBlasio had just stated that t was costing the city of NY a over a million bucks a DAY.
Anyway, there was some pretty wide speculation that the kid is autistic, from both sides of the fence (the righties and some lefties saying they understood not wanting to disrupt an autistic child's routine.
Of course now that Rosie has blurted this out "publically" the tone has changed and it's all evil Rosie.
That's the view from the Christmas cookie internet.![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

Like Sanders, though, he's third party but always caucused with the Dems. Again, it would be jockeying and under the table deal making to get third party blocs to go one way or the other. In the UK, the Lib Dems joined Cameron's Tories to form a government. It kind of backfired on them. People from the UK can correct me, but my sense is that the Lib Dems are a dying Breed.
There's over 300 million people in the country, this behemoth, with various parts of the country absolutely despising other parts..something does need to be done. I just don't personally think third parties are the savior.
Yeah, the lib dems have got battered the last few years. I think the coalition with the Tories hurt them badly as it was usually Labour and the Lib Dems against the Tories. But Clegg saw a chance for a power grab and went for it, and they've been hammered ever since.

This is complete conspiratorial nonsense without a shred of evidence, which means she did "pull it out of her ass". For as much time you spend on here busybodying around posting Snopes articles debunking right wing fantasies, you spend an equal amount of time disseminating moonbat conspiracies about Trump's not-autistic son, phoney Trump rapes of 13 year olds, and non-existent Russia conspiracy truthing. The amusing thing is that you think there's nothing wrong with it.

It isn't a fucking conspiracy. It was not a conspiracy when women were politely or sympathetically discussing it. I didn't involve myself just read it. My point about the change in tone when Rosie said something was not a defense, I think it was stupid that she said it. But some of the same gals that were discussing it in private forums were then condemning her. I found it amusing is all. I was informing you that it was out there (I've also seen it on FB as well).

Buttnoid, did I say I was alright with it? Show me where I said that. For someone who is the smartest guy in the room (at least thinks he is), you really get it so very wrong. I'm just telling you she wasn't the only one. It's a "thing". Personally, I wish people would leave the kid alone. You are such a pompous ass. And so often wrong ( the hipster one is still the best fail on your part). You are getting a bit long in the tooth to play Enfant terrible.

This is a typical truther response. You didn't commit to saying whether the conspiracy is true or not true, but you weasel out of taking responsibility for being a truther by saying, "oh this is what everybody is talking about" and "both sides have been saying this for a long time.", none of which are true.
That's the question you asked in your post. The correct answer to that question is "No, because there is no evidence." But you responded to your own question by 1) justifying Rosie O'Donnel's trutherism by saying she didn't pull it out of her ass when she did 2) Falsely claiming this is a bi-partisan question 3) Exaggerating the importance of this silly conspiracy theory by claiming people have been saying this for long time, and 4) Floating the ridiculous fallacy that because Trump's wife and son don't want to live in the White House is because he has autism. The fucking yentas who you discuss Trump conspiracy theories with in a private forum does not constitute "People" in the sense that this is an important and open ended question that hasn't been answered. "People have been discussing it" in the same way people have been discussing whether Michelle Obama is secretly swinging a dangle snake between her legs.Is the Trump kid autistic?
Then why don't you actually make a declarative statement rather pulling your truther weasel shit.Buttnoid, did I say I was alright with it? Show me where I said that.
Does Trump's kid have autism?
Do people like Rosie O'Donnell who make conspiratorial claims with zero evidence deserve to be condemned or don't they?
What the fuck are babbling about? What "hipster one"? And if I'm so constantly wrong, then why do you scamper off after I show up. Why don't you do another one of your silly-assed 4 page Media Matters research reports that you use on your wingnut in-laws and own me into oblivion, Lisa Simpson?And so often wrong ( the hipster one is still the best fail on your part).
For example, in the most recent thread where you regurgitated specious arguments about that phoney baloney Trump child rape case, you disappeared after I came in there and handed your ass to you. You thought this woman had credibility; why didn't you stay and defend her case after she withdrew it? To ask the question is to answer it.
You are an incredible dunce.

Re: President Trump
The obvious answer to this scenario is a true leftist opposition. Kind of like what Sanders started, in all consequence. I'm not sure that would stand a chance in the US with all its McCarthyist leftover bullshit for quite some time, but your political spectrum is so one-dimensional it's baffling from a European perspective, covering pretty much everything from our centrist conservative to extreme right positions. Your liberalist and certainly libertarian movements are deeply conservative by any global standards, a libertarian third party option is completely redundant. However, there is basically no alternative on the left-right spectrum, so any possible "third party" would have to occupy traditional leftist positions to become a viable different option. Even the most moderate social democracy movement would offer a radical change of course that more people might consider after Trump makes the shit hit the fan.vlad wrote:Oh I see what your saying now.

Re: President Trump
Bernie wasn't completely further left on everything, I mean Hillary took some shots at him for his stance on gun control. That alone could have pulled a few in from the other side. I wish he was 20-30 years younger. I dunno if there's anyone else around that could carry his fight forward.

Re: President Trump
Maybe someday. Remember this is a country where nearly half don't believe in evolution. It's also a country that has not truly experienced war on it's home soil since 1865, so it doesn't know what extreme devastation is (9/11 aside, and it didn't impact like WW2 did much of the rest of the world). The Great Depression allowed FDR to get enact some changes, it's always a battle to move forward. A huge swath of this country votes against self-interest, especially since Reagan. A lot of the even slightly left of center, at this point, the center itself, has been in a permanent holding action just to keep the right, the "alt-right" (fascists) from running over the country. I really don't believe Sanders would have won in the end. If people wanted something the opposite of Trickle-down globalist, yada,yada...they would have not put the GOP back in Congress (they could have easily split the ticket), even if they wanted Trump as a protest to drain the swamp (hahaha). I am not saying the Dems aren't nearly as bad that way, but they at least have managed to enact the nice things along the way. Oh and don't forget guns...jesus on a pogo stick.SebastianLeeDanzig wrote:The obvious answer to this scenario is a true leftist opposition. Kind of like what Sanders started, in all consequence. I'm not sure that would stand a chance in the US with all its McCarthyist leftover bullshit for quite some time, but your political spectrum is so one-dimensional it's baffling from a European perspective, covering pretty much everything from our centrist conservative to extreme right positions. Your liberalist and certainly libertarian movements are deeply conservative by any global standards, a libertarian third party option is completely redundant. However, there is basically no alternative on the left-right spectrum, so any possible "third party" would have to occupy traditional leftist positions to become a viable different option. Even the most moderate social democracy movement would offer a radical change of course that more people might consider after Trump makes the shit hit the fan.vlad wrote:Oh I see what your saying now. The elections generally follow the same pattern, first past the post. There needs to be an actual viable third party, though. Not a fan of the American Greens (and nether are the European Greens). Though, Jill Stein asking for the recounts is worth seeing Trump twiiter his shitLibertarian sounds good on paper, but it's always easier to be a Libertarian when you don't actually live in a libertarian society. What would a successful third party be? I remember there was a Congressman from Alaska who was either Libertarian or Ind. but AK was at the time extremely small population wise.
Like Sanders, though, he's third party but always caucused with the Dems. Again, it would be jockeying and under the table deal making to get third party blocs to go one way or the other. In the UK, the Lib Dems joined Cameron's Tories to form a government. It kind of backfired on them. People from the UK can correct me, but my sense is that the Lib Dems are a dying Breed.

Re: President Trump
Just like the sun coming up in the east, Trump again floats an idea that oversteps his boundaries and has an underlying theme of blatantly fascistic ideology. Burning the US flag is a provocative action for sure, but as a first amendment protected aspect of free speech, it's a chicken/egg conundrum that sails way over his retarded head. It offends the people who fought for the country but at the same time, the reason they fought was for the very freedom that ALLOWS flag burning to be used as a gesture of protest. This idiot wants to revoke citizenship and toss them in the pokey for a year. Over SYMBOLISM!
Obviously stifling dissent is going to be the issue our new dictato... um... president will establish as his top priority.
WWHD? (What Would Hitler Do?) ...if he had a twitter account?

Re: President Trump
It's hard to find a flag made in the US, most I've found were made in China. Nothing says "America, Land of the Free!" like a piece of fabric made in the Peoples Republic of China.exitflagger wrote:Just like the sun coming up in the east, Trump again floats an idea that oversteps his boundaries and has an underlying theme of blatantly fascistic ideology.

Re: President Trump
The funny thing is that Trump has this cycle of seeing things developing that could undercut him like the issues of conflict of interest and voter fraud, things that he is obviously on the wrong side of, and he will pipe up with an even more ridiculous idea like flag burning hysteria, in order to divert attention. It happens over and over and just keeps things moving off the front burner so (in his hope) nothing gets any traction.
He is going to attempt to perpetuate this rotating flimflammery for the full four years, I guarantee it.
