Can someone explain carson's tithing plan to me?

It looks like a flat tax with no exemptions for low income, kids, ect. 10% is the amount the bible says to give to church, so that's what he went with.

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


Trump is showing us what home grown American fascism looks like: yooge and luxurious.

Yeahhhhh, I was hoping it was slightly more rational than that. But my suspicions were correct. It's not.

Compared to Cain's 9-9-9 it's a 1% tax increase. That's already something. :)

It's probably an edit. Garrison's style of crazy makes him easy to change into A. Wyatt Man-style stuff (who he's been accused of being in the past, if I remember right"

Perhaps many Republican voters (not all) pick a candidate based on personality and then support whatever positions that candidate espouses, because those voters are authoritarians and stupid.

It's a long-shot, I know, but if Bernie gets the Dem nomination, I bet the anti-Semitic dog whistling on the right goes WAY up, analogous to the racist dog whistling we saw during the Obama years (birth certificate bullshit, etc.).

I'm just ind of wondering what this dog whistling is going to look like, since it has to be fairly distinguishable from their love of all things Israel. Maybe something about Bernie not believing in Christ...?

Ethnic Cleansing doesn't necessary mean mass murder, but with that said you bet your rear end that if this policy was instituted it would lead to tens of thousands of deaths.

Ethnic cleansing usually denotes that it's an indigenous population that's getting killed or displaced. We ethnically cleansed the Native Americans. We're deporting undocumented immigrants. There aren't entire neighborhoods of undocumented immigrants that will be vacated so that white people can move in. It doesn't really help the discourse to conflate the two.

Into the helicopter went William, 9; Sean, 6; Brendan, 5; and Henry, who just turned 3. Their mother went with them. Henry got scared just before takeoff and left the aircraft to be with his father. The other boys remained. William brought a GoPro camera to capture the experience; a clip later wound up on Facebook.

"Mr. Trump," he said, aiming the camera at his benefactor.

"Yes," Trump said, pulling on the lapels of his jacket.

"Are you Batman?" the boy asked.

"I am Batman," Trump said.

Here was Trump's vantage point: a comfortable seat in the eye of the storm, a place to watch the rotor wash without messing up your hair. To William, this was the best moment of the whole ride. It felt just like a video game.

What if you called Donald Trump's plan what it is: ethnic cleansing, and then explained how it fits that definition. You can both explain what is wrong with it and call it what it is.

It just reminds me of similar arguments about how we shouldn't call things racist, because that makes people defensive. Which I also think is a silly argument.

The liberal belief in the power of magic words is loving infuriating considering how much better conservatives are at twisting labels to serve their purpose than liberals are. You, specifically, should definitely avoid calling things racist since you don't seem to have a clue what you'd actually be saying were you to use it.

Brannock is right and, unsurprisingly, Nintendo Kid is once again wrong.

Miltank posted:

E: literally yes, in the political sphere you have to use words as they will be understood regardless of their actual meaning.

"How they will be understood" is, in fact, their actual meaning.

But yes, please, let's all go after Donald Trump for ethnic cleansing and completely invalidate our own points by making ourselves look like idiots.

I am digging how people are "going with their gut" on the definition of what ethnic cleansing is, instead of the actual definition of the word. How totally Trump.
