Random Politics & Religion #34

Well for now lets just enjoy nausi and saevel looking like idiots while the GOP loses their minds over Booker releasing a slew of emails that they were trying to suppress for no reason.

I just can't wait for Dems to make him their new poster boy for 2020. They have a good record with presidential candidates who break rules and abuse classified documents.

lumping one another into stupid groups isn't a recipe for civil discourse.

Umm I assume your talking about that "anonymous" sourced article saying White House officials are "Resisting Trump". That has nothing to do with 1st amendment rights and everything to do with national security. People who are in privileged positions inside the US government sign documents swearing they won't undermine the US government, doing so is quite literally subversion and a high crime. If a person's conscious or beliefs is at odds with their position of public trust, the proper thing to do is resign in protest, not use their position to subvert the US Government.

Now that's all assuming this person exists and isn't an invention of the liberal press, kinda like Jackie.

It is if you're currently working in his administration... The funniest part of the whole deal is trump's "TREASON?" tweet.

Aww Burt Reynolds died, itts been like, 30 years since he made one of his two good movies.

that mustache though...

People protesting the President is a time honored tradition inside the USA, making fun of political figures is also a time honored tradition we inherited from our ousted British overlords. Nothing is wrong with that stuff and it's the sign of a healthy political environment.

State employees using their positions of public trust to undermine and damage the government with the purpose of destabilization and change of that government is the text book definition of subversion and falls into the list of high crimes.

Again the proper thing to do is to resign in protest, not covertly work against the government. There are some very serious crimes associated with doing so, the above list is just a few of the really broad ones.

That's OK, they have a whole campagin built around Kapernick and "that add."

If you want to undermine and damage the government, then do it the right way and run for President or Congress. That's what we elect them to do, and you don't even have to be a pansy and do it secretly once you're in there. That (D) or (R) by your name is all you need as an incumbent. Well, most of the time anyway.

Cmon, this “anonymous source” doesn’t exist.

If it does, its the literal definition of an insurrection.

Hahahahaha you guys have literally lost your mind. This is approaching “you should be committed” levels

Seems like its an insurrection then, because this source does exist just like all of Woodward's existed. Its fun to watch you spin tho. The only one losing his mind is Trump.

This insider report is just this week’s episode of “Blumpf is done this time” Its another 5 alarm alert. They totally mean it this time. They’re super serial! He’s really done his time!

Meanwhile what are they actually saving us from?

50 year unemployment lows?
4.2% GDP growth?
Record minority employment?
Denuclearized North Korea?
More favorable trade deals?
Record stock market gains?
Worker wage growth?

Trump is winning and they’re doing everything they can to distract us from it.

Evidence?

Oh yes, we have seen that list of made up things before.

Vic please put more effort into your shitposting. We all deserve that.

Looks like Alex Jones has been disciplined by Twitter again, this time permanently.

You don't deserve anything, shitpost extraordinaire.

Still waiting vic.

Did you steal my line again? I don't think anyone knows or cares what you are waiting for. But I guess you gave up on your wiretaps conspiracy theory?

Bro, seriously, do you honestly think we give a ***about Alex Jones? Everytime he does something your killin yourself to come post it. Let me clue ya in man....NOBODY *** CARES OR LIKES HIM, R or
D. The only conservative you will get a rise out of from this ***is the whackers that no one listens to anyways. The only problem I have with anything like this is the censorship. I feel right or left you should have the right to say whatever as inciting violence. Why is Jones barred repeatedly but antifa has like 100's of twitter pages actually calling for violence. If you cannot see a bias here your either a.) blind or 2.) dumber than a rock.

Stopped reading right there, because yes, nausi has constantly defended infowars, and yes, he thinks Alex Jones is a victim.

Huh. So this whole Booker thing just got more confusing. Apparently he's going on and on about how he's violating Senate rules to bring forth these confidential materials... only for us to find out that they were actually cleared for release?

In other words, the whole thing is a political publicity stunt to make him look like some kind of rebel hero even though he only acted after getting clearance. Instead of the typical political move of doing something wrong and fervently denying it, he did something by the book and is fervently trying to convince people that he did something wrong.

It's the political equivalent of legitimately borrowing your mom's car and then telling all your friends that you took it without permission. What a cool dude this Booker is.
