Doesn't that prove the fact that liberalism is truly a mental disease.
This isn't #politics. Does Goran now have free reign over the whole site?
I think leftism, and far rightism are both toxic and harmful.
Agreed. It's obvious though that before the Trump presidency leftism had a much firmer grip on the nation than far-rightism, and it still has quite some pull. People often then counter with economic policies which are not a good example anymore since the modern, globalist left concentrates all its extremism on identity politics, while economically they appear more centrist since the people who pull the strings of identity politics benefit from globalism and divide and conquer. It's in fact a very toxic mix that the left has morphed into and people have started to wake up.
That's funny--I find Trump to be just the opposite. He seems much more divisive than any President in recent memory.
Oh I agree. Far rightism has declined so far that places like StormFront are having a hard time attracting members. They don't control the media, they don't control education, they don't control ... anything.
The far left however has the tacit cooperation of the "moderate left" in the media, education, and hollywood. That's why I believe leftism is the primary threat to the country at this time. That could change in the future but for now the left has all the power and influence, and Trump was a stab at that powerful entity. That's why the reaction to him was so vile and widespread throughout the left. Trump is the first guy to stand up their power structure and threaten it.
Funny thing is, and I didn't think this would happen, Trump is winning way more than he is losing. Guy might be a genius. :)
FP, I have access to the moderation queue. You are abusing the uncivil button and will lose access to it if you keep this up. I've restored the comments so anyone can see that I was not levying personal attacks.
How so? In Charlottesville he correctly made the distinction between those who protest the removal of the statues and the white supremacists. He wants to keep as many people united as possible except for those that truly want to divide. As a counterexample I can only shudder when I think of Obama's handling of the George Zimmerman case where the tapes where DELIBERATELY DOCTORED (cut and paste) to make look Zimmerman - who had previously fought for a homeless black man to get shelter - like a racist. And Obama went through with that narrative. It can't be anymore divisive to start a race war over a case that clearly wasn't racist.
Got laughed at when I suggested DT may be candidate, let alone win. Was very close to place 300:1 bet, unfortunately of course I also had doubts and thought no way so I lost out on 100K or so, but the following MAGA stock market redeemed the lost opportunity and then some ;)

I think this is the problem with Trumpism in general in that it encourages distrust and people to have their own "facts". When nobody can agree on truth and facts, it leads to very poor decision making. How can people come together when a large portion of th...
You had the Press Secretary blatantly lying about the size of the inauguration crowd, then Kellyanne stating that they have "their own facts" as if that's OK. That pretty much set the tone.

You're not alone. I had a chance to place very lucrative bets on whether Trump would win and passed them up without thinking twice. Imagine a $10,000 at even 100 to 1. Now, seems like such a small wager, but in October 2016, quite risky.
mell saysFine, but that's a nothingburger compared to fanning the fire of racial divides and possible violence.
I disagree---purposeful disregard for the truth is FAR, FAR worse, IMO.
Brother Goran I understand your reasons and indubitably they are yours to make however going back all of my years I have never seen a member's goodbye thread erased from a website.
Those who had the pleasure to actually see it before it was yanked would agree with me that there wasn't anything the least bit abusive in his goodbye. People have commented that he was a long time user and although I had never talked with him, I'm sure at least a few people here appreciated him sharing his investment insights.
I admit that I am probably quite naive about all the circumstances but how come he was not even allowed to say goodbye?
I wasn't the one who nuked that thread. I wouldn't nuke a "good bye" thread.
Not very many people get banned on here
Goran_K saysNot very many people get banned on here
Aside from actual robotic spam-bots, only one user was ever banned. And he came back and is still here, though I find I have to frequently delete his comments because they are about the other users.
I changed the "uncivil" link to "personal" to better reflect what it means.
It means that the comment was about the person instead of purely about the point they are making
Right on, Poobah Pat!
Niceness Counts!
Remember, you fucking cunts, we're a family website!
Maybe you should just allow banner ads or side ads-don't know how much they net?
Perma ban trouble-makers. Why waste precious time moderating their posts daily?

I don't care if the site dies, you may not talk about the other users.
