I will never get over the fact that conservatives always fashion themselves after the villains from popular media and their opponents after the heroes. They are such broken hateful people.

Why would you frame the people you're attacking as the heroes and the people you're defending as the villains?

Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:none of us are shocked to see a liberal cheering for Bolsonaro to rid them of undesirable brazilians, Pkay. it's why Obama went to such lengths to get Lula jailed in the first place. I'm shocked at the length of folks like yourself go to in order to twist words. I am not wearing a mask. I don't want to see Greenwald killed. I just think hes a douche bag and while he may be actively fighting fascist in the country in which he dwells, he is actively encouraging it in his home country, where I currently dwell. So gently caress that dude. His fight's recently seem to be motivated by personal political animus more than any ideological principle>

Well the GOP has settled in on their talking points/plans of attack going forward, after initially being caught flat footed on Ukraine: -Barr's CRIMINAL investigation into Comey/2016 -Complain about rigged inquiry when Bidens don't have to testify -It was a LEGAL quid pro quo etc. It's all going to come down to voting and activism in 2020. As far as I can see there is almost no scenario where GOP Senators see less risk in voting to remove than acquitting. Even if Trump is in the maximum possible meltdown of low thirties approval, voting to convict GUARANTEES a loss in either primary or general election with a significant chunk of voters just sitting at home. If you go with the "cooperate" option of Prisoner's Dilemna and stick it out with Team Trump till the bitter end, there's at least a possibility Trump and the GOP just get away with everything. There's no scenario of Trump being removed that isn't a total disaster for the GOP. If Trump was removed, no way Pence wins election or the GOP holds onto the Senate. It's just estimating the degree of dumpster fire that results from either vote. The easier option, having gone this far, is just to stick it out with him to the bitter end. The idea that GOP senators could help vote Trump out and avoid getting wiped out themselves in the backlash, if the evidence was so bad that this was even a remote possibility, is laughable.

You say that like it isn't completely in-character for Crowder to ruin the entire premise of his own joke. And I feel like it's a safe bet that "Cenk" is more recognizable to his garbage audience as a dismissive namedrop.

I can think of 10 Republican Senators who could vote for Trump's removal, but 1.) They probably wouldn't because they're safe anyway and support him and 2.) That's still not enough. That doesn't mean this isn't bad for Trump, or more importantly, bad for the Republican Party.

Friend it's all water under the bridge and as far as I'm concerned there was nothing to ever forgive. Also none of us is more valuable or less valuable than any of the rest of us, you are too harsh on yourself. It seems pretty clear to me that you've been going through a serious of introspection- and to be quite honest with you I have nothing but immense respect for anyone who puts themselves through that. Introspection is painful and unpleasant and no one can ever force you to do it but yourself- and I think it speaks very highly of your character that you are taking a long moment to reconsider yourself and your beliefs.

i am harry posted:I don’t really know, Glenn is an all around awful person who lives in Brazil and is friends with Tucker and comes on TV to make things worse in America. If he wasn’t gay maybe I wouldn’t catch so many probations when I express my total dislike for the man. Personally I think Glenn Greenwald is a overall decent person who like most overall decent people have certain blind spots as a result of his personal experience and the same penchant for revising history to paint himself in the best light. He himself confesses to have if not vocally supported the Iraq War to have at least given the Bush administration the benefit of the doubt in the lead up to the war because he was "politically apathetic" which is forgivable. I'm more split on the Snowden affair because while I agree with Snowden's exposing of the bullshit the Intel community was up to the fact that he ran to Russia doesn't sit well with me, the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend or my ally. Putin is an authoritarian thug, he's no friend of the left, he's an opportunist who is willing to take advantage our political divisions and too many on the left mistake that for common cause which is what leads someone like Greenwald and Snowden into siding with him when the reality is that he is a part of the same international system of authoritarian elites that are the source of all that is wrong with human society. Putin is ExxonMobil with a nuclear arsenal and a license to kill with impunity. The Republicans have aligned with him because he who they want to be. Glenn can't seem to see that because he is blinded by his animosity to the same elements in the US intelligence and political system, and that makes him a useful idiot to the very forces he is fighting against and he is not alone in that as we can see in this very thread. He is a perfect example of the saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Which is illustrated by his history representing Fascists in court. I don't think that he is sympathetic to their cause he just believed in the system, then when he saw that system betray him instead of identifying the correct flaws in said system he turned against it as a whole and sought out any who opposed it with the same simplistic black and white faith that was the root of his faith in the system of liberal democracy in the first place. I see this same thinking in many on the Left who can only see the world in terms of right and wrong. Who view any divergence from their ideas of right and wrong as evidence of il intent. Who accuse others of viewing politics as team sports while simultaneously defending people on their "team" with the same level of vemon and blind loyalty that they mock in others. Greenwald shouldn't be canceled because he's imperfect nor should he be idolized because he's right about some things.

luxury handset posted:the recession was specifically triggered by malfeasance and a bubble in housing. phoenix is a sprawly city, and your specific perspective was one which saw extra houses which were completed at the wrong time. i bet those houses are mostly inhabited today, but 2009-2011 was a different story. what you're talking about are houses which people definitely could have lived in, but which nobody wanted to/could afford to buy at the time. the housing market is wildly inefficient at actually providing housing in adequate supply to people because of market factors like this, and that developers would rather gamble on $500k+ large single family homes than a building full of $200k- condos due to profit incentive I've since moved out of state so I don't know if they've filled up by now or not, which is actually kind of annoying since I wish I did. They were definitely overpriced and everyone knew they were built with cheap/shoddy materials in an effort to cash grab. Also I think anyone who didn't care about the commute time was already living in Apache Junction which was always going to be cheaper than the east end of Mesa for even larger houses so maybe there was no market for them there to begin with. Watching all that go down made me extremely leery of any home built in the aughts. There is way too high a chance they're made of cardboard and spit with a "granite countertop" to pretend they're fancy.

Huh. Even when Cenk would introduce himself back when I would watch The Young Turks, I always heard it somewhere between "Chenk" and "Shenk", but my ears are pretty poo poo so guess I shouldn't be surprised that I heard it wrong But the mole on the cheek is still a dead giveaway of his weird brownface routine.

Eschenique posted:Bot Sentinel. Honestly before I knew about bots I probably interacted with some on various forum accounts and remember I used to get so frustrated with what I thought were real people just not loving reading the poo poo I was saying and continuing to argue in what I now know as bad faith. Like this just absolute need to always be arguing instead of having a normal conversation, doesn't matter about what or if it's even remotely important, just always arguing. In retrospect it makes so much sense why considering it was probably just bots and not real people reacting off of a handful of keywords within a a hundred or so. Now I just can't be sure about the integrity of the internet in general anymore. Like I sometimes do wonder what percentage of it really are just bots. It seems like a loving lot in certain areas like politics or mass media related stuff on twitter/facebook/reddit etc. though. Any political discussion or politicians twitter feed it's just guaranteed to be completely loving useless and filled with pages and pages of bots retweeting generic memes and like in that one just arguing with each other.
