    Soft on terrorism.  DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

    Those fuckers might as well been carrying ISIS flags. 

    Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. No. 107-52) expanded the definition of terrorism to cover ""domestic,"" as opposed to international, terrorism.   A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act "dangerous to human life" that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to:  (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.  Additionally, the acts have to occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States and if they do not, may be regarded as international terrorism.
    Once again validating that KKK, Neo Nazis, along with Antifa fit the definition of domestic terrorists (and possibly even international if you really get into it).  They are all on the wrong side, as you said!  It's not Right vs Left, it's civil, law abiding people vs domestic terrorists.
    Trump is a racist fuck. 
    Um...thanks for the reply?  Has nothing to do with my comment though...

    Did he really have them in the first place?  They jumped to the opportunity to be a part of a group that hangs with the President.  I think the business community got their ass handed to them on a plate.  First they were Trump supporters now they are disbanded Trump supporters.  Which is worse?
    speaking of auto correct....let's see what the market says in the coming days. 

    So far, it appears that the market doesn't approve of Trump's handling of the office, given the events of the last week. And the week isn't even over yet.

    1. Is he trying to be fired or does he believe he has so much leverage, he can't be fired?
    2. He's wrong on a lot of levels, but not about the NK statement... there's no solution that doesn't involve millions of S. Koreans being dead in 30 minutes.  
    “The Democrats,” Bannon said, “the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”

    While not something you may want to hear, it doesn't seem all that unreasonable statement to make in regards to political strategy.

    Unemployment is below 5% and there are 6 million unfilled jobs. The remaining 35% of the white nationalist electorate is not enough to pass legislation, run on and win elections and otherwise be effective with your policies. Untenable. Trump, and those who support him, outside of the gerrymandered districts in red states, are effectively lame ducks. The % that have faith in this White House to lead goes down with each passing day. Brilliant strategy Steve O. Hell, even folks who work in manufacturing would rather play the lottery than have their jobs saved. They know robots are replacing them and they're not going to go and pick fruits and vegetables. Untenable.

    I'm telling you.. it's profit taking.  I'm almost positive about it.  The market is due for a correction.  It's not reacting to council being disbanded, N. Korea or anything.  That's my take.

    All of this plus a bad nominee who far too many of us, myself included, believed to be inevitable.

    Yep...Bannon's right.  Most of white America doesn't go to rallies, wear swastikas and beat people up.  But whenever race is brought up, most of white America takes sides quickly and the side they take tend to validate their accomplishments, assuage their guilt, and relax their fears.  The longer this goes on, the more white America gravitates toward it.  White Nationalism could very well be the driving force of our culture in the near future.

    Not to mention N. Koreans. Let's remember that the citizens of North Korea are not really the enemy. Those people have been abused for generations now - they don't deserve the suffering that a military attack would bring them. It's not their fault they are stuck under a totalitarian dictatorship that lies to them and oppresses them and deprives them. I don't want to see any N.Korean civilians die if it can be helped.... Wouldn't it be wonderful if someday they could be released from that prison so they can see what the world is really like? ... Hard to imagine that happening though, without millions of them being killed in the process. Rock/hard place.

    watched a video on facebook. this young girl talks about her escape. her mother, or her friend's mother, can't recall, was publicly executed for watching a hollywood movie. 

    in no way am I blaming the victim here, but jesus, if the penalty of watching a movie was death, I wouldn't fucking risk it. Then again, I can't possibly understand the oppression they live under where maybe it IS worth it.

    Yep...Bannon's right.  Most of white America doesn't go to rallies, wear swastikas and beat people up.  But whenever race is brought up, most of white America takes sides quickly and the side they take tend to validate their accomplishments, assuage their guilt, and relax their fears.  The longer this goes on, the more white America gravitates toward it.  White Nationalism could very well be the driving force of our culture in the near future.  
    And I think what underlies whites collusion with trump is the sense that our white privilege is slowly going away as we get closer to equality. You see it in sentiments that sound like: "okay, we all have equal opportunity now". "BLM and the Klan are very similar". "I think we have enough immigrants now". "White people need to start having more babies". "Slavery was over a long time ago". "You had Obama for 8 years and you still want more?"

    Trump losing the business community today is no small thing. 

    Did he really have them in the first place?  They jumped to the opportunity to be a part of a group that hangs with the President.  I think the business community got their ass handed to them on a plate.  First they were Trump supporters now they are disbanded Trump supporters.  Which is worse?
    speaking of auto correct....let's see what the market says in the coming days. 

    So far, it appears that the market doesn't approve of Trump's handling of the office, given the events of the last week. And the week isn't even over yet.
    I'm telling you.. it's profit taking.  I'm almost positive about it.  The market is due for a correction.  It's not reacting to council being disbanded, N. Korea or anything.  That's my take.  
    Profit taking because the wheels are coming off the bus and Wall Street insiders know it. It's not like the swamp got drained or anything.

    Eh... there may be some concern whether tax reform will get done this year.  That is priced into the market too.

    “The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. And we need for him to be successful, our nation needs for him to be successful,” 

    “He also has recently not demonstrated that he understands the character of this nation,” he added. “He has not demonstrated that he understands what has made this nation great and what it is today. He has got to demonstrate the characteristics of a president who understands that. And without the things that I just mentioned happening, our nation is going to go through great peril.”

    -Senator Bob Corker (R-TN)


    Now, I've written some good speeches for some good dudes in politics who have done well. If I'm a Republican trying to draw a line in the sand (Flake), I'd go with a line like- "You can't make America great again if you don't know or misunderstand what makes America great in the first place"

    So I opened up my bedroom curtain and saw this giant ball of light it was so bright I cowered in fear and blindness.  I had to conquer my fear and go outside to see what it was.  When I opened my door I saw a beautiful blue sky and a warm glowing ball of fire.  It was magical.  There were the soft early morning tweets of birds faint off in the distance trees.  There was a lush lawn laid out before me.  So I started to walk and felt this amazing warm but to warm breeze against my skin.  I started to mow the lawn and enjoy the summer day.  About halfway through mowing (I have a big yard) I stopped and asked myself "What the hell am I doing?  What if I am missing a tweet from President Trump"?  And low and hehold I did.  Latest tweet folks.......

    The United States condemns the terror attack in Barcelona, Spain, and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough & strong, we love you! Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!

  • ledveddermanledvedderman Posts: 7,761
    Good for him. He sure didn't waste any time calling it a terror attack since we know it was a Muslim behind it. General Pershing is nonsense. It's folklore to no end. Only Trump would a) endorse what happens there, b) BELIEVE it to the point of sharing it to millions of people. What a horrible piece of human garbage he is.

    Holy fuck, every time I think Trump's tweets can't get any more nuts, they do!
    And that one sure does highlight this issue of his bias against non-whites. I didn't think that could be further highlighted, but he managed that too.

    He tried spewing the General Pershing  lie during the campaign. It was easily proven to be bullshit then and it's  bullshit now.

    I would think there were some aides telling him not to address the Spain attack via Twitter- to let the communications staff handle it. Nope. He went for it and just MAKES THE POINT that his attitude towards terrorist attacks is based on racism.
