Is this concept beyond you? The over-leveraged, clueless, "this time it's different" trading strategies that lead major banks and insurance companies to invest far more money than they had available caused the crash. The crash led to the Republicans being trounced by a political novice. However if you stick with correlation proves causation, then you can explain how a rooster crowing causes the sun to rise.

Crowes Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Congress baseball gunman was a Trump-hating Bernie supporter The gunman who opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball practice session this morning before being killed by cops has been identified as a Trump-hating Bernie Sanders supporter. Sixty-six-year-old James T. Hodgkinson from Belleville, Illinois, was killed by Capitol Police after firing up to 100 rounds from an assault rifle at a baseball park in Alexandria, Virginia, leaving five injured including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4604130/Steve-Scalise-baseball-gunman-James-T-Hodgkinson-pictured.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Yes, that's a news item that I'm sure the site will soon be opening a dedicated thread about. There are violent crazies of different political stripes. Yet another gun violence incident that should RATIONALLY reopen a sane GUN CONTROL debate that leads to real gun control reform, but of course, won't. I see that Donald trump Jr. has tried (outrageously) to link this violent event to the artistic interpretation of a Shakespeare play in New York. Typical of the right wing reactionary, anti-intellectual types that don't have the first clue about what theater is supposed to be.

Here's an excerpt: "The media are orchestrating a bloodless coup, but they're perfectly content to have their low-IQ shock troops pursue a bloody coup. This week, one of the left's foot soldiers gunned down Republican members of Congress and their staff while they were playing baseball in Virginia." Boomer continues; The sad part (besides innocent people getting gunned down) is Trump fans will lap it up - as they're wont to do. They're so gullible and easily riled up. Note: I watched several talk show hosts (they're all left-of-center politically) open their nightly monologues with heartfelt sympathy for the shooting victims - with no jokes.

EvenSteven Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Regardless of what Trump does, the GOP controlled Congress won't impeach him. They and their puppet masters are waiting for an historically, record setting transfer of wealth with Trump's "budget" that will revamp the tax code in favor of themselves. They are calculating that any fallout from the gutting of health care and the disaster that is about to ensue with the budget can be overcome by their smear machine to discredit any Democrat in 2018. It worked in 2016. Edited June 15, 2017 by EvenSteven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, the post above exemplifies my point. The American public seems to have more and more trouble discussing anything in a rational manner, without resorting to extreme partisan position. And that cuts both ways. There could also be choice words said about cultural changes making it possible for such a caricature of person such as Trump to be seen as a viable candidate, never mind a President. Goes a ways beyond the political divide, though, so guess it's outside the scope of this sandbox topic. I dunno if the last line was intended as general or personal. If the latter, you're outta line and off mark. If the former, still off mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app No. Trump's rise was due to the vacuum caused by the Left. People were getting sick and tired of being called a racist, sexist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, islamaphobe, arachnophobe or nazi just for holding moderate conservative values and opinions or just for stating facts. Let's also not forget to take into account economic issues. Additionally, a lot of us saw the smoking gun evidence of failed leftist policies overseas, especially in Western European canary in the coal mine countries. So, you're way off base there mate. With all due respect, I would strongly suggest you go out and talk to some people who voted for Trump and get their stories first hand, it'll give you some much needed perspective. I remember when I first took an interest in the elections, sometime in 2015. I was very much still a liberal, at one point I was even considering voting for Bernie. But once I was being demonized for holding centrist views or stating simple facts as a liberal, I began considering voting for Trump just to spite the Left. Eventually I really took a liking to Trump because he stood up to all these people. Essentially, the social justice Left turned me from a huge liberal to a conservative over the course of a couple years and with such poor timing on their part! And I'm not the only one, you can find thousands of people sharing similar stories like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
