I used to believe that the big L Democrats, AKA
"party of the elites" were full of educated, well
read, literate, urbane, compassionate basket weavers
– But when one does ad hominim postings like this,
devoid of example and cogent argument – kinda proves
the point that big L TDS folk are more hateful and
ignorant than the illiterate, unwashed, toothless,
rednecked, guns and god, deplorables.
QED
But yet you remain in the shit filled room… odd.

When your in a shit fill room, aren't the smartest
people the ones who leave first?
Hard to think anyone with a brain would ever support
Trump or MAGA.
All the calls for "no talk of politics" is
delusional when its this impactful to everyones
lives, typically spewed by "the right" cowards and
other deplorables who can't defend their positions.

I just went back and looked, and my first
post here was in 2012. So maybe not 20 years
here, but 13.
I can remember some pretty garbage times on
this list every time politics get raised,
even to the point of certain people leaving,
because this is a terrible platform to
trump(et) your views. Been on the internet
for over 30 years and not once have I seen
sane political discourse on message boards
or social media. It's even worse with
astroturfing in every direction, literal
bots riling up people in whatever direction
Russia or India or China wants. You've seen
it, you've seen the bot problems on all
social media, and yet David talks about the
USA standing up to Russia like they're doing
fucking anything about it. Other countries
try to get rid of the garbage social media
companies from the USA and trumpster
unilaterally threatens tariffs and cries
like a little baby.
The fact that the USA has gone so far down
the path that you literally have a man who
apparently can do whatever they want with no
consequences is the broke brain part of my
statements. A literal rapist, thief. Cool.
Nice job. You guys did it. Build the wall
and ya'll can sort each-other out.
Pick and choose your platforms, figure out
what is real and what isn't. Go talk to
people in the physical world. You'll get to
understand your fellow man a lot quicker and
if your aim is to make change.

OT -
Greenland
So
many
think
Trump
is a
bully
on
Greenland
. .
. If
you
think
he's
so
terrible,
you
absolutely
don’t
know
history.
1)
1867
–
Andrew
Johnson:
explored
buying
Greenland
&
Iceland
(right
after
Alaska).
2)
WWII
–
FDR:
U.S.
took
over
Greenland’s
defense
while
Denmark
was
occupied.
3)
1946
–
Truman:
offered
$100M
in
gold
to
buy it.
4)
Cold
War
–
Eisenhower
→
Kennedy:
nonstop
negotiations
for
bases,
radar,
missiles.
5)
Post–Cold
War
–
Clinton/Bush/Obama:
expanded
Arctic
security
&
missile
defense.
6)
2019
–
Trump:
said
publicly
what
presidents
discussed
privately
for
150+
years.
The
U.S.
didn’t
“suddenly”
want
Greenland.
It’s
been
defending
it,
negotiating
it,
and
embedding
there
since
the
1800s.
Greenland
=
Arctic
power,
shipping
lanes,
missiles,
minerals.
Trump
didn’t
invent
it.
His crime
is
he said
the
quiet
part
out
loud.
=======================
NATO
Secretary
General
Mark
Rutte
said
on
Jan.
21
at
the
World
Economic
Forum
in
Davos,
Switzerland,
that
Trump
is
spot
on
about
the
importance
of
Greenland
to
security. He
said,
"When
it
comes
to
the
Arctic,
I
think
President
Trump
is
right.
Other
leaders
in
NATO
are
right.
We
need
to
defend
the
Arctic.
There
are
eight
countries
bordering
on
the
Arctic.
Seven
are
members
of
NATO.
That’s
Finland,
Sweden,
Norway,
Denmark,
Iceland,
Canada,
and
the
U.S.,”
Rutte
said.
"And
there’s
only
one
country
bordering
on
the
Arctic
outside
NATO,
and
that’s
Russia.
And
I
would
argue
there
is a
ninth
country,
which
is
China,
which
is
increasingly
active
in
the
Arctic
region.
So,
President
Trump
and
other
leaders
are
right,
we
have
to
do
more
there;
we
have
to
protect
the
Arctic."
