UglyCrackBaby posted:Not sure if this came up already but does anyone know how serious this situation about Bernie and Jane Sanders being under investigation is: a) The same guy who uncovered evidence of really serious wrongdoing on the part of a darling of the Democratic party just happens to be chair of the Vermont Trump campaign. b) The chair of the Vermont Trump campaign decided to poo poo on the Democrats, and there was just enough mud in the water for an "ongoing investigation" roughly as serious as the investigation into Hillary's emails to start. The fact that they've hired lawyers doesn't really mean anything, by the way, however much we like to poo poo on Trump's lawyer needing a lawyer and so on. e:

KickerOfMice posted:Reagan had the embarrassing "Bedtime for Bonzo," Trump has been arguably the candidates that has carried his own childishness into office. A careful, thoughtful child is still those things. That is not shameful, shame is lost in this equation anyway. Here is a person who I don't believe the cultural historians of America will ever leave alone, for good reason. Self-quotin', but this being SA, just let me say: I would sneak into the white house and drag my balls across Trump's pillow.

99 CENTS AMIGO posted:I can't handle the Obama admin's reluctance to do anything. It really will go down as a huge moment of cowardice. It's less cowardice than miscalculation. Shouting from the rooftops that Russia is undermining our democracy has the effect of undermining confidence in our democracy, which Obama knew was a major Russian goal. In the October 2016 world where Clinton is a lock to win, you can try to minimize harm by not publicizing the interference--we're just all living with the downside risk. He was wrong, but not necessarily because he was afraid.

pumpinglemma posted:I haven't looked into it, but purely statistically, which one of these seems more likely? Probably B. It sounds like both Mrs. Sanders and the Burlington financial board are equally at fault for possibly misinterpreting future donor gifts and student enrollment projections. So buying those properties and being unable to make it profitable for the college ended up contributing to the demise of the college. A lot of small colleges are starting to go belly up due to the lack of substantial endowments to keep them operating.

Is the idea here that these guys are so privileged that they'll become isolated by it, and ultimately end up alienated? This weird irony and delusion is so odd. These kids have to be the generation after millennials.

Because you can sure as poo poo bet the same assholes who are pulling this poo poo in America would love to help their financial soul mates do the same to your country and are already working towards it. Don't for a moment think 'it can't happen here.' Basically this. People see America and how corrupt it is. Corruption is on purpose. It's a tool of power to satisfy key constituencies and individuals. Anywhere that large amounts of money accumulates you're going to find people who either want access to it or to demolish it completely to really get access to it. An example in the US is social security. It's actually well funded and will continue to be well funded for at least the next ten years. However among my generation (millennials) and a good amount of the gen-x'ers there's this idea that we'll never see it so we should just demolish it. Even if there's a shortfall we can still run it at 75% instead of burn it all down. But the common wisdom is that it should all be burned down because we'll never see it. The weakness in the system is exploited and people who want to privatize it come along. The accumulated wealth of generations would be up for grabs and if people invest poorly they'd be destitute instead of just on a fixed income. Serious warning. Be careful of getting your healthcare defunded. Don't be us. Corporations will turbofuck you.

Whoever coined the phrase "conservative is the new counter-culture" is going to be the first against the wall. Ironically, they are using millennial culture to turn the next generation into what they wanted millennials to be: rabid defenders of the establishment that waffles between propping up corporate interests and keeping minorities in their places. It's insidious as hell.

I first heard it from Paul Joseph Watson but dunno if he was the first to say it.  Say what you want about Hippies and the extremes some of them went to, but I'd still take them over these monsters. They are fighting to prop up a dying and evil system while framing it as a glorious struggle of the "oppressed." These shitlords haven't been oppressed a day in their miserable lives.

Fulchrum posted:And once again we find the beating heart of the problem that you refuse to acknowledge. They dont "look" like they're fighting for it. They don't "feel" like they respect you. You just don't "believe" that they even would have governed according to the platform. If it were just me, or a few posters in this thread, that would be one thing. But it's not. It's a sizeable chunk of the Democratic voter base that the party needs to mobilize if it wants to win future elections. This is a reality you're going to have to come to grips with, Fulchrum, and stop being such a whiner. No one's stabbing you in the back. You just suck at coalition politics. (e: I'm very pleased that Schumer has backed Sanders' $15 min. wage initiative. It's a good course correction. It's also a very recent shift, one that you concern trolled consistently up until establishment Dems started getting onboard with it) quote:You have a massive victim complex Absolutely incredible.

RoboChrist 9000 posted:They're absolutely admissable. They are clearly things the man has said. I think the legal question was about whether or not they constitute 'official statements of the president' or whatever. The Whitehouse just cited his tweet in an official response to the Senate about the existence of any tapes, so they're going to have a pretty hard time arguing that they're not 'official statements' (which is also something Spicer claimed they were).

If Obama shouted from the rooftops about Russia interfering with our elections and the GOP went against him, then I can people using it as evidence of a bias against Trump. It'd make the arguments of fake news and the deep state sabotaging Trump seem more legitimate for some people.
