Politics Thread

[noteggs]

Come on now, contrary to some people's comments, this thread has actually had some of the best and most respectful political discussion of any such board I've seen on the web (low bar, I know!). Let's not have this one also veer in a particularly negative direction.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, anyone who holds political views that conflict with mine is a fucking idiot.

For the first paragraph, 100% agree. I stopped posting on all other political forums because the lack of respect and only post my misguided opinions here.

As for the second, still LMAO as I type this. Well played!

if there's one thing liberals have shown conservatives, its a willingness to have discussions and mutual respect

You're a racist

Amen. Yet the Libtards still continue to side with Comey's assertion they were merely "sloppy". What a joke.

I agree that the FISA courts need to be completely overhauled if not just set on fire.

However, I have never understood the conspiracy theory that the FBI was secretly against Trump in the election. In October of 2018 Comey knew of both an investigation into Clinton and into Trump, but only publicly announced one of those investigations. It almost feels like the conspiracy theory is that Comey set up Trump to get elected so that he could impeach him. Seems like setting him up to not get elected would have been easier.

That's a strange bar to apply though, isn't it?

I don't set standards for my personal behavior based on what a group of people whom I despise have chosen to do (or not do).

The libtard moniker amuses me. Not sure what those using it mean to achieve by doing so. But, it isn't likely to be meaningful debate or conversation. Generally, using insulting language isn't going to engender an environment where folks want to openly discuss emotional topics. But then, possibly people using libtard, and similar words aren't interested in meaningful conversation? You tell me.

They probably are trying to achieve the same thing as people using Trumptard. I tend to think that when you resort to name calling, you don’t really have any valid points to make, or can’t defend your own position.

this is absurd logic to apply to politics. also you're the perfect person if this is true, which i doubt.

sure the barbarians are invading rome, but i won't lower myself to fight them off. they won't control my standards of behavior!

just a naive, unrealistic view, and foolish to adopt.

+1. Hilarious.

Merry Christmas Libtards!

Prisoner's dilemma is one hell of a drug.
