pandarilla Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Whilst the Ukraine is fascinating, here's the Democrats standing firm and showing they really, really, really oppose Trump. Really.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/senate-democrats-trump-federal-judges_us_5b86c0eee4b0cf7b00313783?knThat is truly embarrassing. The democrats make the British parliamentary labour party look like honourable, principled statesmen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are highly likely to lose Congress in a couple of months and have wasted an entire election cycle alienating non white voters that they need to start turning Republican. America is undergoing a demographic transition that the 2016 election was something of a dummy spit against, those demographic numbers are not suddenly going to reverse. You can't shitfest an election champ. He won on a landslide coming from absolutely nowhere, with no policies whatsoever basically. Some very very clever people using key words and phrases to manipulate people and push their emotional buttons. That's why he kept repeating phrases, he was taught how to do this and given basically a script for each public appearance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost the popular vote and his electoral college vote was one of the lowest winning margins in history. 46th of 58.

Trump was unexpected, masterminded, and certainly no fluke (and seemingly not on the level), but hardly a landslide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not a good look. However I still think all the alternative media sources which have provided perspective on Syria have done a valuable job countering MSM war mongering and staggering amounts of propaganda. Post Iraq the public won't be drawn into a war in the convential way so lies are crafted about African mercanaries being given viagra and 7 year old bloggers end up with publicity agents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Trump's win was similar to Cameron's majority in 2015 won by 900 votes. Extremely efficient analytics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 There did not need to be a war no. When Syrians were peacefully protesting in 2011 for more freedom and against corruption, the Assad regime and his secret police didn't need to start shooting protestors or arresting them in the middle of the night to be tortured. Have a look at some interviews with FSA fighters. So many of them were men in the Syrian army who defected in 2011-2013 to the FSA after being commanded to shoot at their own people while they peacefully protested for a better life.Where did all these moderate secularist democrats we heard so much about back in 2012 disappear to and why were they replaced so quickly on the battlefield by the likes of Al-Nusra and ISIS? The war in Syria has a lot more to do with a rerun of the Islamic fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood uprising against Hafez Al-Assad and the secular one party state socialism of the Baath party back in the 1980s than a struggle for liberal democracy. As such, both sides are not particularly palatable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The thing about Ted Cruz's Da might not actually be that mental.

Oswald hung about with a lot of Cuban nutters from both sides in the months leading up to the shooting. Quote A day after accepting the Republican Party’s nomination for president, Donald Trump rehashed a conspiracy theory that claims the man who killed President John F. Kennedy once cavorted with Ted Cruz’s father. “I don't know his father. I met him once. I think he's a lovely guy,” Trump said at a morning-after rally in Cleveland. “All I did is point out the fact that on the cover of the National Enquirer there was a picture of him and crazy Lee Harvey Oswald having breakfast.” Trump invoked Cruz’s father during an extended screed against the Texas senator for failing to endorse him during the convention. While Trump and Cruz were primary rivals in May, Trump initially pointed out an Enquirer story which featured Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald while handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/trump-ted-cruz-jfk-assassination-226020 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Oswald had quite the life though. He knew lots of interesting people who had links to the CIA, high society etc. Why not Ted Cruz's Da? Obama's Maw had a kid with a guy studying in America on a CIA scholarship and then married an Indonesian government official while the CIA were helping them murder hundreds of thousands of leftists. It's a small world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
