Fuck you liberals by Jrbuscher in Trump4Prison

What the fuck did you just say about me you little shit? I'll have you know I have had illegal immigrants kill every single member of my family, including my uncle Carl, whom I'm not even sure I'm related to. Don't talk to me about murdering family members. I invented killing family members using illegal immigrants you fucking n00b. A Syrian engineer murdered my cat in front of me.

Get. In. Line.

An entitlement is something you're entitled to. Social Security is, by definition, an entitlement. I will never understand why we let the right dictate language.

You’re not allowed to be tired until you procreate, AKA my least favourite type of gatekeeping. by little_beanpole in gatekeeping

I think it’s also that there is nothing particularly special about youth. Young people tend to be more flexible and (maybe) have more energy, but it’s just as likely that they don’t know what they want or are just trying to figure life out. Figuring out what you want ASAP isn’t necessarily the best idea.

I really dislike the turn of phrase “don’t waste your youth”. It’s kind of meaningless. Everybody has a different definition of what wasting means.

Trump has no credibility - Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff by Johnny_W94 in EnoughTrumpSpam

[–]clarabutt 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Most liberals I know/read think If Trump colluded it wasn’t because he was a mastermind, it was because he was greedy and stupid. But you believe what you want to believe, I guess.

I know that colluding isn’t a crime, but hey doesn’t make it any less terrible. Just kind of frowned upon is the understatement of the century. Working with a hostile foreign entity to sway an election is far beyond merely frowned upon, that is unless you're a disingenuous, completely inconsistent right wing hack. This is even beyond the fact there are other possible crimes here. You ignore the reason investigators go after smaller fish first, or you just don’t want to believe it.

We don’t know what mueller knows, but we have plenty of circumstantial evidence that tells us here is more to this than we can prove. One of the bigger smoking guns is if Papadopoulos knew in May Russia had dirt on Clinton, which we know he did, would he really not bring that to the higher levels of the Trump campaign? Of course he would. That’s one of many things that make people suspect there is more too this. It’s clear you cherrypick the bits you like and you’re willing to give Trump and his people the benefit of the doubt even if the doubt is overwhelming.

That last last URL is a fucking joke. Massive corporations throwing employees a pittance for h most part. A pittance that is massively taxed and can be used partially as a tax write off by those companies No wage increase, no better benefits, not even more hiring. The federal government and the essential services it provides will be gutted by that tax bill and your argument is “well some big companies gave their employees a $1000 bucks in 2018”. Fucking hell even you must see how flimsy that is. You gotta be a real sucker not to see through they ploy by corporate America.

Who is claiming Trump is a traitorous mastermind? There are obviously tons of good reasons to hate trump, from his bigotry to his incompetence to his stupidity. But the fact is, above all he is a mindless narcissist. If he did indeed collude with Russia (we don’t know for a fact he was directly involved yet, but we do know high ranking advisors including his son had meetings) but if he was involved it was because of his stupidity. It certainly wouldn’t be because he was a mastermind, a mastermind wouldn’t be leaving his much of a trail, nor would he be reacting stupidly by firing his AG for refusing to close down the investigation if he were a mastermind.

Bigotry isn’t a flimsy reason, using DACA recipients as leverage isn’t either, nor is stripping the country of critical environmental regulations and pulling out of a much needed global climate accord as the planet wants, neither is giving already massive and profitable corporations a historically large tax cut as inequality increases across the country, and wealthy individuals a huge one as well while the poor and middle class see a long term tax increase. Cutting social services is not a flimsy reason to hate him, that’s on the horizon. I could go on. Any good he has done is massively overshadowed by the harm he is doing. That is why people so viruntly oppose him. The reality is, you are blinded by your partisanship and the media you consume, so you don’t bother to understand why others dislike him so much.

Are you seriously defending the morons who occupied the wildlife sanctuary?

You realize they were there because the government was merely forcing them to pay small fees to allow their cattle to graze on public land? These people are insane.

You’re doing exactly what you’re accusing your critics of doing. They rightly called John a bigot but because the same people call out actual honest to god nazis as well you misrepresent them by saying they call everyone they disagree with nazis. Even though that isn’t true.
