If the Japanese and the S. Koreans aren't worried why are you boys getting your panties in a wad? 555 

Ahhh Boon Mee, Trumps truest online sycophant. I'm still trying to work out if you are just too hypnotised by Trump to see no wrong in anything he does or just a troll. The jury is still out.

BOTH these countries are super worried about North Korea (have you not been paying attention for the last 60 years) hence all the military pacts, meetings and broken agreements. The question is why isn't Trump more worried?

Probably so!  I kinda liked her until she said something whacky like Trump was adding terroists. She is suing Google though, half the country should join her in a class action law suit. 

 

Warren reminds me too much of a complaining, nagging, pissed off, fridgid ex wife, she has the shrill annoying pitch in her voice that men run away from. 

So in one post you talk about 'identity politics and calling anything that moves a racist' and in the very next post you display huge (probably pronounced hugely in your head) amounts of overt misogyny by not judging Warren on her policies and her past endevours to fight corruption and big corporations but rather her 'complaining, nagging, pissed off, fridgid (sic) ex wife' personality and the 'shrill annoying pitch in her voice that men run away from'.

It's so obvious as to be scary but the only right candidate for you guys (Dems or GOP) is old, white and male.

Well if the bill comes to under an extra $2 trillion on to the national debt, they'll be doing a damn sight better than the current Idiot in Chief.

Here ya go!  The actual interview sounds nothing like you describe. In addition Omar's spin that White people should be more feared that Islamic Jihadist's is racist based on the fact White people are the majority in the US. Amazing how you can squeeze a comment by Trump as racist,  yet on the other hand you defend Omar's remarks as non racist. Simply brilliant on your part. 

Here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yt9TZmDAtI. 

This explains what happens when you edit out the part that contradicts your right wing bias as was done by Fox, other right wing media and that crazy Molly Prince and even Rubio (scary though how it took me three pages of searching YouTube to find this, such had the edited version taken over so much and dominated the thread).

She clearly says that if fear is your main driver of policy, then you should be more fearful of 'white men' as they cause more deaths in America than any terrorist. This is factually true but the right wing nutters (and also you by the look of it) have edited out the part that explains this to substantiate your own narrative. 

Again I recommend you try and look at more objective news that doesn't just feed your own echo chamber.

She has made many anti-Semitic remarks, and was forced to apologize.  Look them up, I'm not gonna do that for you.   She also said: "people should be more fearful of white men" when asked about Islamic terrorism.  She has refused to condemn ISIS when asked if she would do so. 

Come on now and be honest, Imagine if a white person said, people should be more fearful of black people than terrorists. Dang, that sounds a lot like Hilary Clintons remark about black men being super predators doesn't it?  Democrats only see the world through the eyes of race and gender, and the sorry thing about it is they honestly believe they aren't racist. 

Yes, the racism is manufactured 24/7 on CNN and MSNBC, etc.  Trump was never accused of being a racist prior to him running for POTUS. He received awards for helping the inner city black youth, and has countless photos with black people including Rosa Parks. They have tried to pin this on him and it just won't stick. That's really all the Dems have, and they use it to attack themselves now, in particular Biden, and Pelosi. 

I remember back in the day I was a liberal, the establishment would tell hippies and Vietnam protestors, "to Love it or leave it". Not a single soul took that as a racist comment. Why is what Trump said racist? I and many others don't think it was a racist remark. In fact, I've never heard a racist remark from Trump ever! 

 

Typical GOP/Fox news cherry picking of the actual events. The “people should be more fearful of white men” was in response to a question about terrorism in the US when she (rightly) said that if you are talking about the protection of American citizens then you should be more worried about “white” terrorists as they have caused more terrorism in the US than any other group. 

This is fact, but as usual, the right wingers take 8 words out of context and spin it that’s she’s anti-white. 

Please get out of your echo chamber and try and look at matters more objectively.

So it’s your position that everyone at the rally that did not want the statue moved was a neo-nazi, correct?

 

If they weren't card carrying members of the neo-Nazis, they at least knew this was all set up by white nationalists and racists so yeah, I'm going to guess that they held certain sympathies.

What arrogant nonsense!

 

The country is the United Kingdom - our nationality British.

 

It's supremely arrogant and selfish that one small minority in one region seek to vote on something, restrict who can vote and then impose a result they like on the majority.

 

And then in your next statement, you want to claim everything belongs to everyone. Aye, as long as your're lot are dictating.

 

It's actually nationalist Scots who are arrogant, hypercritical bigots who want to boss everyone else around with their do as we say not as we do crap.

There's nothing arrogant with what I have said. It's just fact; England doesn't own the pound nor the armed forces. Only a nation state should be given the chance to vote regarding the state of it's nation and Scotland is well aware of the financials if it leaves the UK.

And we know all about arrogant, hypocritical (correct spelling please note) bigots who want to boss everyone else around. Scotland is attached to England after all.

Let the rest of the UK vote on Scottish independence too.. Scotland would be gone.. But beware we will not let you have the pound. A hard border. Get your own army Navy and Airforce. No right to own property or work in the UK. No tax allowances in the UK. That's no second house.. No right of abode.. Visit the rest of the UK then get a visa.. No money from Westminster.. Not  what I originally wished for but fed up of the moaning. Goodbye Scotland.????

What a completely inane post. You are the reason Scotland is even contemplating independence.

Let's break down your statement:-

'Let the rest of the UK vote on Scottish independence too..'  - Why? It would have nothing to do with them.

'we will not let you have the pound' - it's not yours (and I assume you're English). It belongs to the whole of the UK which if I recall, Scotland is still very much a part of.

'No tax allowances in the UK' - what's that supposed to mean? If Scotland leaves it will not be part of the UK (as the UK won't exist any more) and will set their own taxes.

'A hard border' - Hadrian built the wall. Scotland's been wanting to build it higher for years to keep you bampots out.

'Get your own army Navy and Airforce' - again, they are not yours. they belong to the whole of the UK. This is the type of English arrogance the Scots have to put up with on a daily basis.

'No right to own property or work in the UK' - I assume again you mean England (no Uk remember) and why wouldn't they? Russians, Chinese, Europeans, Americans and the rest of world can own property in England so why shouldn't the Scots? And as for working, the same rules would apply for any foreign national.

The rest are just nonsense so let's skip to the juicy part:-

'No money from Westminster' - Fine. Just leave the oil, natural resources and whisky. They'll be fine.

Scotland has a legitimate gripe concerning self-governance as they have no say whatsoever in what political party gets into Westminster and when voting very firmly to remain, it again makes no difference.  If the same circumstances were happening to English we'd never hear the end of it.

As the leader of the SNP, Sturgeon only has Scotland's interests at heart and although I'm not a fan of leaving the UK, stupid, rabid statements like this make me inclined to reconsider.

There were times where death penalty was just that, death, and soon, somehow over the years the meaning was watered down considerably and appeals and re appeals have been dragging for years and sometimes decades so much so it become a drag bothe on the the system and on the convicvicted, if there is a death penalty on the books, use it as human and as quick as possible, otherwise, take it off the punishment books  complitly...

The invention of DNA testing exonerated many, many people who would have been put to death otherwise. I do not believe in the death penalty (I don't think a state or country should kill it's own citizens and it's proven not to deter many of those that now face it) but if you are to have it then there should be a VERY lengthy appeals process in place to check for absolute sure you have the right person.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/03/21/trump_didnt_call_neo-nazis_fine_people_heres_proof_139815.html

Why can't you see that saying there 'were very fine people on both sides'' is where the problem is?

There wasn't 'very fine people' among the neo-Nazis because...... well they're neo-Nazis, They're walking around with swastika flags, giving Heil Hitler salutes and generally admiring a regime we fought a world war to defeat. 

Trump walked back on this comment (still took 2 days) as I think even he realised he'd gone too far with that little nugget gem but there's been plenty of other examples whether it's referring to 'sh*thole countries' or a judge being biased because 'he's Mexican' to a Muslim travel ban and of course his recent and crowning glory of 'Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came' (3 are born in America, the other is still a US citizen) leading to the 'send her home' chant of the mob at his little get together.

He's the President of the goddamn Unites States. Why can you not see this is unacceptable rhetoric from a man who is supposed to represent ALL Americans regardless of skin color or ethnicity? He has the power to unite but instead chooses to divide, which in turn emboldens white supremacists, enables racists to crawl out from under the rock they've been hiding under for years and directly leads to the 17% increase in hate and race crime under Trump (https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/lawmakers-to-probe-rise-of-hate-crimes-and-white-nationalism-in-u-s) 

Yet you continue to defend him so I can only conclude iIt's either willful ignorance on your behalf or as I suspect, sneaky admiration for Trump because you think these things as well.

How is it 'hyperbole' when the BDS 'movement' literally calls for boycotts of anyone who shows any unity with Israel? Its baffling to me that you guys keep defending this. It is racism and bigotry in its purist form. 

 

 

Yet the entire BDS movement that you keep defending is the polar opposite of 'middle ground' and has no vision for the existence of Israel itself. How is that a middle ground?

I’ll tell you what racism and bigotry is.  It’s persecuting your own people for being the wrong color. Its telling people that we’re born in your country to go “back home” because they are not white. It’s saying that white supremacists are “good people”. It’s locking up asylum seekers and removing their children. It’s everything the current POTUS stands for. 

And you are facilitating all of it by agreeing.

It comes from the late 1960's and the 70's......"America, Love it or Leave it" was used towards the White domestic terrorists the likes of Bill Ayers, his wife Bernardine Dohrn, The Weather Underground, and other communist sympathizers such as Frances Piven and Richard Cloward. I remember the popular bumper sticker from back then with this saying.  

 

AOC, Omar, Pressley and Tlaib are all very anti American, they have repeatedly trashed America and Americans.  The way they talk about America and Americans has most of the country pissed off.  But you will never hear this from MSNBC or CNN.  

 

They are all freshmen congresswomen and they are getting all the attention from the MSM.  Never before has freshmen congresswomen or men received the notoriety that these four are getting.  They are overtly attacking their own Democratic party white or black, with their communist views, calling anyone who questions them....racists!  Including black and white Democrats. 

 

Before you all want to champion them, and bash America, and of course bash Trump....  

 

Look into to their backgrounds.  Omar's is full of fraud, including she married her own brother.  AOC answered a casting call of over 400 people to be chosen by two billionaires who script her every word.  Look up AOC's personal videos about discovering things like garbage disposals, and the shock plants can grow out of the dirt, etc....at 29 years of age.

Stop drinking MSNBC's and CNN's kool-aid, they are fake news, it is being exposed and will be exposed for the world to see soon.    I'm sure I will get some responses for this, but it's the truth...

How to get everyone to not take anything you say seriously?

Just quote Breitbart.
