Boo hoo hoo, cry me a river. Y'all would have preferred our nation to be run by a moron and her tax swindling con man Tampon Tim. Trump is doing his best to clean up this country, and if he needs to ruffle some feathers in third world corrupt narco terrorist countries like Venezuela, Columbia, Cuba, and Mexico, I'm all for it. Mexico will be the fun one. Everyone knows the cartels run it. It really would be best for the US and Mexican people if the US not only took out the criminals in Mexico, but took it outright.

And what about Greenland?

Dovereign nation overseen by denmark with local control , that has had and still has us military presence and they invited more as a member state of NATO

The thing is USA are allowed as many troops and as much space as they ask for on Greenland and still that's not enough for the orange man. He wants ownership o places and territory like the very people he claims to despise. A complete narcissist and maniac

He has made it unbearable to be an American citizen! It’s embarrassing

lastexitlondon · January 7

I'm embarrassed for all the good Americans

Interesting to see there are people in this thread who put the US (and Trump) and it's imperialism over international law.

Speaking of what a country and the laughable concept of "patriotism" can do to you.

This is just another case where trump says something stupid and his team has to scramble to make it seem like it isn't completely insane.

Rubio was assigned to put out the fire by saying we would purchase Greenland. Nothing will happen except maybe expanding our already existing base there and trump will claim victory.

Trump hates NATO. I wonder if he wants control of Greenland so then he can get out of NATO. Not sure if NATO is what allows the U.S. access to Greenland now.

lastexitlondon · January 7

It is NATO that allows it. And it allows USA to do what they want anyway. It's about ownership. Insanity

Liberal band with a predominantly liberal fanbase has a predominantly liberal message board. stop the presses we have an echo chamber and people can’t have alternative viewpoints EVER!

The point was about the usefulness of a “like” function on a one sided political forum, but go ahead and continue to mock a commenter that dares to disagree with you. And I doubt you get much disagreement on your views here EVER!

Since you’re expressing a deep need for conformation bias, I suggest Reddit. It’s very good at that, and every one of your comments gets voted on!!!!

I've also posted that comment about adding a "like" in other areas of the forums (i.e. Porch and AET). It doesn't apply only to AMT. I seldom venture into AMT. Adding such a function wouldn't be limited only to "likes" either. Maybe angry, confused, laughs and some other reactions.

Point is, I think adding such a function would clean up a lot of slop that we read/search/scroll through on these forums. I read his comment and I liked it. I wanted to let him know I liked it. I did not need to elaborate further on his comment. But, these forums being as they are, to do so, I had to add a post. It would be a cleaner look for all of us if I simply could have a reaction button and clicked 👍 or 🤣. My reaction to his post was not intended to trigger anyone by suggesting a potential improvement to an antiquated message board system.

Capiche?

I get it. Where this originated, they went after an actual righty who dared to appear here with a cute little put down and you want that thumbs up there. I get that conservative comment wasn’t exactly high brow, but it’s not like anyone is looking balanced or reasonable debate here, whether we are discussing far left politics or a fair way to sell or buy tickets.

So what is it that you want?

My guess is he/she wants everyone to quote posts we want to show a reaction to so we can all scroll more.

Or maybe it is as simple as some people like to have a higher number of posts in their profile and adding a reaction function would reduce the need for some posts. I don't know.

As with my thoughts on the lengthy post from Brian this morning - I would have been happy to "like" it to acknowledge I enjoyed the post. Instead, to show my appreciation, I had to quote it and now it's more scrolling for everyone.

exactly the reason I sometimes "shadow quote". never been an issue with anyone on this forum, ever, in my 5 million posts. until very recently.

It's never been an issue for me, though that might be because I don't know what shadow quote means.

seems this might be helpful for some...

What, all of a sudden somehow forgot where the flag link is? Are you able to sit yet? I got an extra pillow if you need.

If someone is making an aggressive counterattack that crosses into ad hominem behavior, it would seem the courageous thing to do would be to use the quote function, since you decided to interject here. I don’t think many are here for courage, however.

Its not anyones fault here that left outnumber, centrists, who outnumber conservatives on the board. We make due with whats here. There are good faith engagement even with conservative points and arguments. Happens everyday.

Who said fault? With the exception of Spartacus (sp), there hasn’t been many conservative comments lately, and when there are, they usually drop a bomb and leave, looking for reaction only, not reasoned debate.

everyday? Are there any conservative points made recently that you find reasonable, even if you disagree with them? This place seems to be one directional, not sure any of those conservative comments would get any likes, but hey, let’s try to highlight some.

But Stephen Miller is dead serious about it, and from what I can tell, Miller has a massive influence over what Trump decides to do. I don't even know wtf Rubio thinks he's doing anymore, but what Miller is doing is very, very clear, and he's good at it.

tbergs · January 7

I sometimes get annoyed by Ezra Klein, but he had on Jonathan Blitzer who gives some good background and really focuses on how Rubio plays a key role in pushing some of these agenda items, as well as Miller.

I really don't think he was serious...he was just providing cover no matter how stupid. He gets off on making sure trump looks tough instead of senile.

disagree. Miller seems dead serious to me too.

Can you see just for a fucking moment that that without any context what so ever how that statement in your post doesnt strike folks as overtly fucking racist?

you seem to be under a delusion that everyone here is a fan of hockey, follows your specfic teams and would know , according to wiki, an canadian announcers childhood nickname?

get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Eh, it was his professional name and how he is honored in the Hockey Hall of Fame, Broadcaster category. I wouldn’t expect anyone to know that, but I also wouldn’t expect for someone to complain to authority it was somehow offensive and warranted filling out a report similar to the picture above you provided here in an attempt to belittle me.

so I’m guessing you don’t find it ironic making that attack, asking me if I’m an idiot, prude, crybaby or if my butt hole hurts, and what’s offensive is I asked if you forgot when the flag link is. A joke. Go figure.

When you make a joke it’s funny. When I do I get cursed out and it’s AMT as usual.

not every time someone gets a timeout it's a result of someone flagging a post. the mods do peruse the forums and take action on their own. I'd say flagging is quite rare here, actually.

Yeah, I don't agree with your analysis. Miller is a true fascist and imperialist and really wants these things, and so far, what he's been doing is working pretty well. He has convinced Trump to do lots of shit that is insane. He's not about to stop now. Will Trump actually move to annex Greenland? Maybe. He will definitely be weighing the pros and cons... but it's pretty likely that he's going to decide that NATO nations aren't going to risk too much for Greenland, and he very well might be right. I mean, look at what he risked already, considering China's stance with Venezuela.
