the Obama Presidency

The most racist prez since LBJ.

Fact - between 2016 and 2017, 11 Police officers were killed by Left Wing Black Supremacists in 4 different terrorist attacks and many more injured.

There were 49 mass shootings last year by right wing nut jobs. 39 of them were white nationalists.

Source?

Tim Aurora says

I thought "Only the left is violent"

How do you define this terrorist? And why?

jazz_music says

According to today’s Democracy Now, only 50 murders were reviewed and out of them 49 or right way and 39 were right wing white supremacist

Democracy Now?! hahahaha

Link?

Are they including incel flipouts like Elliot Rodger as "Right Wing?" or Las Vegas, which the FBI ruled was "Infamy/Misanthropy" as the cause?

There aren’t many long term running shows that I got into... Sopranos and Breaking Bad were awesome.

What am I missing when it comes to Game of Thrones?

Epic chaos. You can barely perceive the machinations of the author guiding the story. It’s kind of awesome.

I will voice a (perhaps unpopular) position that there’s too much gratuitous nudity in the show. As awesome as some of the women look, it’s turning a lot of people off to a really great show. It would be just as great without quite as much, perhaps only a tasteful amount.

But what do I know? It’s got a billion watchers now.

I read the books in the early 2000s, never imagining that they’d be adapted in such an amazing way. The show is truly much better than the books.

In History?

So he was just a big fat phony.

John Kerry is a back stabbing whinny pathetic loser. Who belongs in jail for violating the Logan Act. Not resting on his laurels of having his name on a UN Peace treaty.

Fuck him! Bravo President Trump, where's Barr raid Kerry's house at 5:30 am and haul him and his wife out.

I'll keep posting this whenever the topic comes up.

According to the ADL, here are extremist murders by year (and BTW, some of this is extremist nutballs killing their kids or relatives):
2018: 50
2017: 37
2016: 72
2015: 70

I could never getting into Breaking Bad even though I think Better Call Saul is awesome.

First season was slow developing.

From season two on, it was like I had a crack addiction... with all due respect to Sopranos, Breaking Bad was best ever.

Not gonna say I haven't done it, but maybe let the people respond instead of making the OP and then making 3 comments. If it was a topic people wanted to discuss, they would. Don't force it.

NYT ran their second Der Stormer-esque Political Cartoon today.

Do we have a special counsel to investigate a 'Whale Dossier' provided by British Pay-Per-Spook frame artists? It'll only cost 50 million or so to get an answer in a couple of years or so.

And? You can live somewhere else if you have a problem. Never understood people complaining about being the best at something. Go somewhere else then and find something they do good and complain about it.

I met the guy who wrote it and apparently Trump uses the whale as a dildo.

Musta been personally trained by Putin for when he couldn't make it over.

It was a hard job producing such a sleazy, psychotic, morally bankrupt, conniving, pandering, underhanded, corrupt field that it makes Trump look like the soul of sane deliberation, decorum and political brilliance, but the Dems and LibbyFucks managed.

jazz_music says

This country got hijacked by warlords and crooks and they got some serious payback coming.

Fine. Who's giving the payback? And how is proposed payback going to occur?

jazz_music says

You can live somewhere where people want to devote their entire GNP to never ending war.

I get we have troops stationed everywhere in the world. But have things gotten better or worse lately? Think about that. Shit happens, but if you had a child in the military right now, would you actually be concerned for real? They'd be more likely to die in a car crash right now in the states versus killed abroad.

Yup. I mean, seriously, like what about the Mongols under Genghis Khan? All they did was invade and kill. That was their whole way of life, and after Genghis it went on like that for centuries under his descendants.

Like incredible, epic slaughter. "It has been calculated that approximately 5% of the world's population were killed during Turco-Mongol invasions or in their immediate aftermath."

what woke said was American style imperialism, perhaps even colonialism is good, justified. I can almost, for a moment, understand the rage of people under uncle sam's boot resorting to violent means. Sad.

TrumpingTits says

What 'book'? The show deviated too much and too fast for JRR to finish the series. So he's been publishing other books instead.

https://us.blastingnews.com/gaming/2017/08/george-rr-martin-talks-deviation-of-game-of-thrones-plot-from-his-books-001954979.html

Skip the books. He's a terrible writer. Banal, repetitive and poor character development. Fairly good plotting, I'll give him that.

There is no Colonialism. On what continent is New Bakersfield or New Pittsburgh?

We spent millions more to drop a precision guided munition when other countries drop a barrel bomb.

Jimmy Carter is another putz whose true attitudes have been revealed, esp. after the coming of God Emperor.

If you want to shorten the name, it's Wook. That said, like I said, move. If you think the place you move to is just happy with the status quo and has zero interest in taking business from their neighbors or other people globally, let me know what country that is. Don't think it exists, but enjoy utopia. I'll enjoy the top dog.

In fact, the reason the Ayatollahs were able to take over Iran is because of Jimmuh Carter's bullshit Human Rights crap, which isolated the Shah and fermented violent revolt.

Instead of being replaced with Muh Democracy, he was replaced with a Theocratic Regime far more despotic. In 1988 they executed tens of thousands of people including kids in the course of a couple of weeks. To say nothing about making 13-year old boys charge over landmines in the name of Allah and the Revolution during the Iran-Iraq War.

Lefties can't consider the idea that there are less-than-stellar alternative outcomes or 2+ order effects from their policies.

We are the top dog and must keep it that way at all cost. Why we have 700 military bases around the world?
Abswer: For defense, Russia and China, they are threatening us by placing their countries so close to our military bases.

This is a valid point. I think this is indisputable.

jazz_music says

The White House also said the ATT "will only constrain responsible countries while allowing the irresponsible arms trade to continue," noting that major arms exporters such as Russia and China are not part of the deal.

I don't get it. We shouldn't be the worlds police force, etc. as I've seen from multiple commenters here. Yet we don't agree or finalize some treaty and we're ass holes and not "leading" or whatever? What the hell do people want? Like seriously?

And what difference does or will this topic make in your life? None. So move on. You're not getting shot by some Spanish dude, in America, with an illegally traded gun. This is what we're talking about here. And if Jesus in Spain gets shot with a rifle made in the good 'ole USA, again, what does that do for you? That hurt your soul? Guns are getting moved regardless of some piece of paper getting signed.

jazz_music says

"Today the President once again walked away from America's leadership role in the world and undermined international efforts to reduce human suffering caused by irresponsible and illegal arms transfers," said Stimson Managing Director Rachel Stohl, an arms trade expert who helped draft the treaty.

It's ridiculous.

The 2nd Amendment Guarantees to RKBA.

The Arms Industry is the one Manufactured Goods Industry we totally dominate.

The UN is indeed an unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy.

The UNHRC hasn't written one single report on the huge rise in malnutrition in Venezuela, but sends 30 people every time a knife-wielding Paleban is shot after stabbing a 12-year old outside a deli for humbug Allah Akbar reasons.

And Russia and China and Iran want you to know that.

The sooner those bases are gone, the sooner they can invade and bomb to their heart's content without pesky Uncle Sam in the way.

Another example of patnetters talking out of both cheeks. US might is alltruistic, never mind corrupt DC ticks, siphon the loot then our wall street overlords takes a hefty cut, then toss some scraps to you. Who begs for it. Spin it as American exceptionalism,

If there is hyprocracy - it is call Saudi Arabia, our good thug.

It's a fact, when America shuts down those military bases, it'll be great for domestic debt.

It won't be great for Central Asians.

This is what I mean by Leftists being unable to consider the other effects of their policies.

Russia, China, Iran do not want those bases gone to help us with our national debt.

Like a king cobra around your neck, it won't be good for you when it gets hungry.

Okay, I think I'm talking to a bot.

No one said DC is NOT corrupt.

Are you a US citizen? No biggie either way, entitled to your opinion and won't stop you, but your comments haven't been the most logical honestly. Free to your opinion or whatever words you're posting here, but it's a bit deranged.

If you're not a US citizen, congrats on being jealous. Jealously is the greatest form of flattery, thank you.

jazz_music says

There’s no sense of balance to what our country does overseas, not just Iran, Syria, Venezuela, but even China too. Our military industry has us in over our head. It needs to stop.

America’s largest foreign soil base is Garrison Humphreys home to 45,000 personnel in South Korea and right across from China.

We would absolutely freak if a country did this to us. The oligarchs media would not let us get a minute rest if any country built a supply logistics base the size of the Pentagon just a hundred miles or so off our coast.

Right, because China has never invaded the Korean Penninsula - and I don't just mean 1952.
