Petr posted:More than half the country did not vote for trump No, more than half of the votes weren't cast for Trump. We have hilariously low democratic participation and we shouldn't conflate these things. He's never had close to 50% approval in 2 and 1/2 years, which is far more representative of his actual approval, which is ALSO damning.

The Sean posted:Don’t think all these things you are saying about Charlottesville. What does he have, a ninety-three-per-cent approval rating, or, let’s say, a hundred per cent, from his base? Let’s say it is, over-all, way up, from thirty-eight per cent to fifty per cent, or even higher. And let’s say Latinos are now fifty-per-cent approval for Trump. Trump has a 100% approval rating from people who approve of Trump. This is a thought provoking observation, apparently.

The smart evil move isn't to black op Assange to Guantanamo or whatever, it's to get him to roll on all the other whistleblowers, so what little credibility he has left from his Iraq War whistleblowing days is completely buried. THEN you drop him down a hole once all side want him to gently caress off forever. You can't be both a martyr and a snitch.James Garfield posted:Trump has a 100% approval rating from people who approve of Trump.

I mean, it takes a special kind of genius to expose American fascism and be hailed a hero for it, then back the most fascist candidate for president in the hopes of getting a pardon from that fascist for the alleged crimes you committed that let you expose the original fascism, only to end up extradited to the now double-turbo-fascist America you helped make happen.

skylined! posted:Lmao I had no idea the palpatine pope was a literal nazi, holy poo poo. Kinda... Seewald: "Were you in the Hitler Youth?" Ratzinger: "At first we weren't, but when the compulsory Hitler Youth was introduced in 1941, my brother was obliged to join. I was still too young, but later, as a seminarian, I was registered in the HY. As soon as I was out of the seminary, I never went back. That was difficult, because the tuition reduction, which I really needed, was tied to proof of attendance at the HY. Thank goodness, there was a very understanding mathematics teacher. He himself was a Nazi but an honest man, who said to me, ‘Just go once and get the document, so that we have it …' When he saw that I simply didn't want to, he said, 'I understand, I'll take care of it,' and so I was able to stay free of it." ... in any case he was bad pope.

Can't link cause phoneposting but according to CNN officials are blaming the church burnings on black metal. Whoever shouted out Lords of Chaos earlier was dead on the money. Edit: He obv did it cause he's a gently caress and not because he listened to Bathory once but not surprising they connected it cause God forbid they blame a white kid.

No, because as President he's in a position where he doesn't have to talk to anyone he doesn't want to and even if he wants to at first he can walk out at any time with no real consequences.

I mean popes are generally elected for being hardline members of an already conservative body, so it's kind of hard to overstate how low the bar is. Even Woke Pope is a matter of degree more than anything.
