It's easier to keep blaming Russia for their election loss than to take ownership that they hosed over a large number of their own constituents by favoring a candidate with zero charisma who offered next to nothing to working class voters over another candidate who did but didn't fit their rulers needs. Now they must blame Russia and try to whip their base into a blind hatred of Trump and anyone critical of them to deflect because they have no intention of doing anything differently in the next election. It sucks.

I'm talking about Sessions committing perjury. Just say you talked with a Russian ambassador if you did, who gives a gently caress other than people who didn't vote for Trump? I don't get it.

Franken knows that Sessions meets with foreign diplomats all the time including the Russians so that rules out the issue of asking about meeting Russians as a Senator. Sessions knows that and Franken also knows that. The only other context left is working on behalf of the campaign. Sessions is clearly saying he has been called a surrogate and IN THAT CAPACITY he didn't have communications with Russia.

Also, maybe he had his fingers crossed while under oath, it's an old lawyer's trick.

Obama was able to win Wisconsin because he actually showed up and got people to turn out and vote. This is a state that elected Scott Walker 3 times, it wasn't exactly a shoe in.

I wonder how the military industrial complex finally got him to fall in line. Something tells me there was more to it than that video. Did the Susan Rice thing convince them to make a deal with him? Or did they get their hands on that fabled "pee tape"? What happened with Bannon? Something happened that they're not telling us.

You're overthinking this. They just built a big button labeled "fire kick-rear end missiles at bad guys" for him.

It's not. It's an important work that eviscerates the 100% wrong historical narrative taught in high schools and colleges across the country. Leftists will make any excuse to delegitimize information they find unpalatable. They'll stoop to whatever depths necessary to besmirch the quality of work underlying that information, and/or the character of its messenger. It's sad, and self-defeating, because it means they never synthesize the information, and rely on hoary arguments to justify their facile understanding of the subject matter. This is why leftism keeps losing in unmoderated internet spaces- because its arguments don't hold up to rigorous and honest scrutiny. So, the illiberal left has embraced Stalin's ethos: “Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?”

But FDR just didn't do enough either, right? Double down! Leftism cannot fail, it can only be failed!

This thread is worth it for weird posts like this. "100% wrong" "Stalin's ethos"

You're 100% correct, of course - he'd never do anything that could put his companies or brand at serious risk. But if he seriously does try to push a tax hike on the rich through, that'd put him squarely to the left of the DLC wing of the Democratic party, and I have no loving idea how Republicans in Congress would react to it.

That's when they would all jump on the "Trump is a bad boy who is mentally unfit to be president" train again.

I'm not sure how that hypothetical tax hike would work either. It wouldn't make it through congress, could he just executive order up a tax hike? It sounds very silly.

What's even more embarassing is that the harder 4chan reaches to offend the general public via rage-inducing clickbait, the worse the memes are going to get. The image sequence posted a few pages ago with the purple haired girl telling the dude with the beret to shoot up a grocery store? That take on mental instability? loving incomprehensible.

I had no idea what that was a take on, and I'm supposedly your "garden variety liberal" or whatever. It literally had to be explained to me. Some other "friend" of mine keeps trying out memes like this:



Like this is literally just "I don't like women so I'm going to make fun of them on the internet." None of these 'jabs' mean anything to me, or anyone I know. It's obvious that some dude is just bitter about getting rejected by a particular girl, probably somewhere in the Pacific Northwest from the look of it, and so you get garbage-tier poo poo like this. Pure incel bullshit.

The further 4chan chases the dragon on offending people, the stupider the image macros are going to get. The above image is proof positive. As the already-tenuous logical positions get more convoluted, the memes by nature will become more and more backflippy and inscrutable to the people that they're supposed to "offend" into rageclicking or rage-posting.
