All-purpose news and politics thread: Two Steps Beyond!

It's perfectly easy telling: The mouth breather cannot tell Puerto Rico and Cuba apart.

Let's go on ahead, and go over this one in simple terms.

Your assertion? "This guy is a mouth breather."

Let's run with that.

He does not say "Socialist Country". He says "Socialism". Pretty clearly. That he does this begs the question...

Why are you insistent on reading a more complex thought into the tweet of a mouth breather?

Simplest possible take(which is what an actual mouth breather would obviously do)? "Socialism" is just "Socialism".

If that's the case, what you are reading in has nothing to do with what is actually being said.

Simplest reading is as follows: "If Socialism is what you now assert is a superior way of doing things, why did your family follow the most Capitalist life path possible?"

"Country" is a non-issue. Simple statement about politics.

If you want to try to read in something more complicated, your call. While I did that earlier, it now looks like it's just as simple as he typed it out.

Simple thinking from a guy that's a simple sort of a cat. Probably nothing more than that.

I stopped reading when you wrote "begs the question" instead of "raises the question."

I know it's starting to become the meaning of that phrase, but I will not allow that without a fight.

Not. Without. A. FIGHT!

I'll summarize.

You and I were reading in to try to make this simple fellow's statement more complicated than it is.

He is stating in very simple terms "That your family took the most capitalist path possible says quite a bit about true greatness of Socialism."

Stop reading in to try to come up with anything more complex than that. This guy is not that complicated, and neither is most of the rest of what he says.

In 2014, 2015, 2016, as well as 2017, "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" published profiles of the sitting U.S. House Representative from Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District, Jim Bridenstine. We noted the first time we turned our eye to Bridenstine that he said on the floor of the House that he didn’t want to impeach the president because he felt VP Joe Biden would be more of an embarrassment. He also denies that when the Supreme Court rules something constitutional, that it actually IS then constitutional. Bridenstine’s most disgusting moment, though, was probably when he hosted a town hall and had a constituent tell him “President Obama should be executed as an enemy combatant,” and he made no attempt to dissuade her ideas, instead fueling them further by, in response, telling her the falsehoods that the Toomey-Manchin gun control bill would create a national gun registry and that the legalization of marijuana in Colorado had made the whole state overrun with organized crime. In our second look at Jim Bridenstine, we added that he has stated his desire to privatize Social Security, continues to deny the science behind climate change by saying “there’s no credible evidence CO2 levels effect the environment“, and signed onto a letter with many Congressmen demanding the GOP House work together to defund Planned Parenthood, or else they would shut down the federal government.

Now, after the 2016 elections, there was a line in the sand drawn regarding the website Breitbart News, owned by Trump campaign strategist and administration member Steve Bannon because… well, it was Alt-Right. And by Alt-Right, we mean White Nationalist. Guess who we’ve discovered is a paid writer at Breitbart News? Congressman Jim Bridenstine.

And they say the rest of the media is “fake news”.

Anyway, this looks to be the last time we profile Jim Bridenstine as an elected official, as the Trump administration actually did, in their tradition of nominating the absolute dirt-worst people for any government post, pick Bridenstine to be the new administrator of NASA, in spite of the fact that he has an enormous track record of denying scientific facts.

Jesus wept.

Boy, What A Week It Was For Trump’s Lies

New steel plants! Savage gangs! Illegal voting! And other things that are not happening like the president says they are. What would all that be? Why....FAKE NEWS!!!

It’s ‘100 Percent’ On Trump Administration To Locate Separated Parents, Judge Says

Nearly 600 immigrant children have yet to be reunited with their parents, many of whom have been deported. Your move, Donald.

Once Again, Intelligence Agencies Say Russia Is Targeting U.S. Elections Right Now

“Our democracy itself is in the crosshairs,” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen says at a White House briefing by intelligence chiefs. No surprise there.

“Something real and serious was going on in Donald’s brain.” That revelation comes under the heading of....NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!

Donald Trump Attacks LeBron James And Don Lemon In Latest Twitter Rant

Trump insulted the two men’s intelligence in his post. Coming from a 71 year old man who acts like a petulant five year old, that's hilarious.

Double post. AGAIN!

Double post. AGAIN!

Luckily, I've been getting that "You Must Wait "X" Amount Of Seconds Before Your Next Post..." message only to find that my post has already posted once about three times out of four.

Just odd.

Odd, and annoying. I wish the mods would fix whatever is wrong.

When I get that, I just ignore the second and assume that my first attempt to post went through. Still, it is tiring.

Trump, as always, is a grudge-bearing moron who doesn't know when to let things go.

LeBron called him a "bum" over a year ago when both the Warriors and Cavaliers announced that regardless of who won the NBA title,they weren't going to the White House and Trump "disinvited" the Warriors. So Trump decides to take his own petty shot at LeBron last night.

The timing is pathetic, because LeBron just opened a school for at-risk kids TWO DAYS AGO. An athlete uses his fortune for the public good, and a charitable cause, and that's something Donald would never understand. But after THAT, he wants to take a shot? F***ing idiot.

Here's my summary:

You're - once again - willing to give a Republican (a Republican fraudster in this case) the benefit of the doubt in a way you never, ever would have done for Hillary Clinton.

Why would he say "flee" if he didn't think he was talking about a socialist dictatorship? Why not just "move away from"?

The guy uttered a complete and total brainfart, revealing how little he knows about the world. We can all smell it, you're just pretending it's Old Spice. Because of cause you are.

That was the impression I had.
The man's obviously an idiot.

Which we have known at the very least since this one:



But I am sure numberfirty can translate that one into something reasonable, too.

I can't remember that period in American History because I wasn't born yet. But I know someone who can remember because he was there. I'm talking about Mr. Sulu himself, George Takei, whose family was crushed by the government and marched off to an internment camp.

I guess Jacob Wohl never learned about that shameful chapter in our history.
