a democratic presidential administration would surely not unilaterally without even putting it up to a vote in congress invade a country and bomb it for seven straight months to overthrow their government

A lady at Trump's presser asked about vneezuela and if Daddy Trump was going to save them from socialism and also Russia and China. It was pretty funny.

"Please, Mr. President! The people of Venezuela are calling out to you to invade us!"

"Yes, I would save you from socialism, but I am told by the best people, very fine people, never wrong, I am told by the democrats that I should be worried about Russia releasing some video tape of me that would be extremely embarrassing. So you see, my hands are tied."

it felt like lopez's role in all this was downplayed since he was under house arrest and has had a pretty sordid past, good to know he's running things

d&d was at its best when left and right could fight like cats and dogs around 2008ish, for it is in conflict that both ideologies find their greatest clarity. it was at its worst when evilweasel, BM and vilerat (though his tenure in the Bad Times was cut short for reasons i was never entirely clear on) softly prohibited criticism of democrats from the left, and remained so until late november of 2016, for reasons, again: i was never entirely clear on.

right now i'd say d&d is about middling, which is about as good as anyone could ask for. this concludes the reply-less OP of a thread that'd get closed in QCS in like two seconds anyway, on account of what happens to all d&d related threads in QCS.

Is it because you're a robot and can't understand the emotional satisfaction from dunking on lovely self assured people? D&D may exist under the pretense that it's about debate but like all posting it's actually about emotional discharge and feeling smug and superior to other people.

Look, just because I keep repeating that literally anything else would be better than the status quo doesn't mean that I think Pinochet would be better. This is a very smart and consistent position.

d&d goons petitioned in QCS to keep LF closed as they were banning and probating criticism of the obama invasion of libya

you'd think people who consider themselves politics nerds could learn from history, but apparently liberals are doomed to whoop and holler for donald trump, elliot abrams, and john bolton to coup other countries for eternity

Look, they're focusing on more important things like banning a two word joke phrase from a Twitter comic because that's the real problem here, a dozen or so posts saying "Numbers Fuckstein," not privileged six figure computer touchers baying for the blood of the global south

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

yes, you'd get probed for a month

the d&d thread was literally one-sided in moderation. the thread regulars could post the wildest, most made up poo poo, accuse people against intervention of being authoritarians, and never get any punishment on it. any pushback on that toxicity, or not accepting the thread narrative on a subject was a probatable offense though

it was a lovely thread and it's better dead and buried

I'm convinced the thread is dead because by just existing and having a browsable history it was making the mod team look bad.

deabate the correct opinions and discuss how wrong those other guys we don't want to talk are. proper punctuation is what defines the proper orthodox posts to emptyquote and agree with, especially today when there is no need to challenge the incorrect opinions or allow them to exist in the threads where the posters with the correct opinions debate and discuss
