Ah, the Simplicity of the Politics Board

[Champakian]

Threads are not created to engender actual discussion (/heathy debate)
but rather serve as a vehicle where everyone who agrees with you
can come to rant and rave and castigate their political enemies.

I hate to have to point this out, but look at page one.
Virtually all of the threads are started by the Left.
And predictably, they serve only to
attack the right.



Discussion?

No way.

Hate!

I always mentally edit him out until I am ready to read the funny pages.

I always used to love Sundays because the paper had a large section
in color devoted to the comic strips. Best day of the week
(except for the church and suit part).

I've had a few threads go ignored because folks couldn't figure out how to politicize it against their opponents.

Your count should include pages 2-4. Yesterday was reinstatement day, so lots of libs were eating popcorn and ridiculing Pubs Sylent typically has 5 one liners up before 8am.

The one thing you got right is that this forum's threads are about political brownie poibts between Trumpies and Democrats But the hatred is definitely not one way.

 

[Champakian]

The fact that you still employ terms like Trumpie speaks volumes.


It screams, lack of education and basic reasoning skills.

You should let go of it. Trump lost. Get over it.



PS - You also help make my point.

Trumpies aren't Republicans, so I separate them

I have let go of his loss. They still promote his bullshit. Until he starts a new party, that's the easiest way to describe their ideology

Your point is that lefties do more of it on this thread than Trumpies..and that's factually incorrect

I openly admit ridiculing Trumpies actively here. I just don't tend to start threads in order to do so...no need

We know Trump lost. But maybe you should tell Trump and 50% of the Republicans that.

I don't think they got the memo.

One of the perpetual oddities of this board is the notion that the half-breeds here routinely exempt themselves from the standards they hold everyone else to.
That dichotomy allows the Chief to fat-shame his political opponents and the "permanently disabled combat veteran" to slag Asian women while routinely accusing other people who disagree with him as being "racist", because he's a situational Chinese/Korean.

 

[Champakian]

Good lord. Not only do I get proof of my contention,
but the Left is falling all over itself to loudly and
proudly proclaim, ME TOO!

Lol....I wonder if I start posting 3 sources on every post if it will matter to these "know nothing" folks.

Probably not, any source or discussion that disagrees with their crazy ideas must therefore be anti-Repub and hateful.

 

[ll74]

He's shocked that he posted a thread about something and people responded about that something. And the somehow still blaming his political opposition and taking the high road at the same time

Oh look, another half-breed declarin' "Victory!"

Lol....I wonder if I start posting 3 sources on every post if it will matter to these "know nothing" folks.

Their acceptance of sourced claims is highly situational, i.e. they look at it through teh lense of "does this advance MY argument or not?"

Case in point, the situational chinese/korean yesterday. He's spent literally years trying to convince us that the NY Times is "untrustworthy librul rag", but then someone made the claim that nobody actually supported defunding the police entirely.

BoBo scoured the internet for something....anything....to prove his political opponent wrong and found a single whackadoodle op-ed in the NYT that had some ivory tower dingleberry positing an argument that police were unnecessary in this day and age, they didn't do much if any actual police work, they just wrote up tickets and citations and did precious little crimefighting.

That single editorial was all BoBo needed to prove his political opponents wrong, so he bellowed loud and long once he found something, and the NY Times was suddenly "gospel". He then attempted his usual BoBospin:

• If one, then some
• If some, than many
• If many, then most
• If most, then all
• If all, then One=All if you squint really really hard

Aj is upset that we laugh at the trumptards. Good.

AJ has always opined that "Freedom of Speech" implies "Freedom from Criticism".....he even made up his own logical fallacy to describe it: "Ad Hominem By Class".

He is not a smart man.

ya' know, i've been wondering about that lately. i used to think he was just a garden variety troll coming on here to try for the attention he lacks in real life. after his recent flurry of activity, though, i'm coming to the conclusion that he's just really, really stupid.

Be nice. He fashions himself a fan of the bard as he put an "e" in Spearechucker, his previous username. You know, like a word chucker, but different.

So your brilliant idea is to create a troll thread attacking the left and then bitch about the lack of discussion. Fuck outta here, dipshit.

Right. I hold out some hope for real Republicans. When I use the term "Trumpette" it isn't meant to be synonymous with Republicans. Sometimes I do use the term "Republican," though, when they are being gutless cowards in failing to stand up for principles they once had and buying into the senseless nonsense of the Trumpettes.

The Lincoln Project Republicans you admire so much are but a particle sized aspect of the GOP.

That's true, but they are what's left of the core of what once was a respectable and honorable party--not a bunch of white, racist, and ignorant trash panicked about going into the minority--umm, like you.

Fuck that bullshit Keith. Those were the entrenched RINOS who lied to their constituents for years and joined the Democrats to enrich themselves at the expense of their country and their countrymen.
