The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again. [W:86]

Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

I heard you get used to going broke when you file for bankruptcy six times.

I was watching the show "Renegade" last night (one of my old favorites I sometimes just put on). The very first episode mentioned Trump. It's from the 90s. The comment was something like "Donald Trump, a white man raised in a mansion, eats caviar and loses millions." (The funny thing is that I skipped ahead to an episode in the third season, and they mentioned Hillary Clinton in that one.)

Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

I'm sure that's true. Rather astounding IMO.

You've been here along time. You've seen the paid posters come and go. There were a number of them this election cycle.

I'm probably too old to understand the effort, but it's amazing to me to learn about groups and people going to the trouble to spread false narratives in order to sway opinion.

I've seen it quite a bit. Even had a guy who admitted he had been lying just before he left (everyone knew it, already). It's interesting, though, that there are some who really are true believers.

"Paid" posters are there less for swaying opinion than to shut down contradictory opinions and keep them from taking root. Someone says something nice about X, paid poster shows up to derail the conversation by either belittling those who agree X is nice or by posting a bunch of narratives that contradict that X is nice. EIther way, the idea is to prevent the idea that X is nice from taking hold in the group.
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

NACALT, classic leftist tactic.

And still nothing but denial and avoidance. Is that the cornerstone of your "movement"?
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

america is already great

So America is great when veterans die waiting for health care while illegals are taken care of?

America is great when entire industry are shipped overseas or killed in the womb by over regulation?

America is great when people are attacked by a lying media and have no legal recourse?

America is great when we can 200 armed federal agents to terrorize a cattle rancher but can not send a rescues team to Benghazi?

America is great when a few inches too short of metal or wood on a firearm can land you 10 years in prison?

America is great when millions of kids are trapped in failed schools to appease special interests?

you must be one of those kremlin basement trolls
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

No, I have shown you to refuse to answer a simple question, to be a hypocrite about said question, to lie about the position of your "movement"... or to contradict it, and to make up stuff about liberals.



This is just you lying about what is being said, yet again. I have already stated that this is not my position. I have stated this in many threads on this forum. Stop lying about what other people say.

Post a link that shows the Alt Right is not anti Egalitarianism then, I will wait.

You claimed I was a conservative when I clearly said I was not. Also accusing people of lying is a infractionable offense, you should know that as a mod.
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

No, just a person with a brain.

But great to see you are ok with vets dying waiting for care while countless illegals flood the ER because "MUH FEELS!".
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

If I was paid, why would I join AFTER an election?

I don't know if you're paid.

I do know there will be quite the effort by liberal/socialist progressives to keep the pot boiling by attempting to paint those who supported President Elect Trump in the worst possible light.

One way to do that is to spread out on the blogs posting extreme views, just as David Brock did with his boiler room of bloggers.

It's a rather transparent effort.

You are the one making up things, remember all the sites that proved you wrong with just a basic google search?

On both sides for sure. I would suspect some do it just to get a rise out of people. Others I guess needed a job and do what they were paid to do.

My radar starts pinging when the most extreme views are posted, especially among someone who is new.
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

I never made the claim that the Alt-Right was egalitarian or not. See, you are making stuff up again. I SHOWED how you were not egalitarian.. which means either the Alt-Right is not, or if the Alt-Right is, you are NOT Alt-Right... or you are just flat out lying about your position. So, I have asked you several question, all of which you have run away from. There is no one around here that is more patient than I, so I will wait for your responses.

You claimed I was a conservative when I clearly said I was not.

I told you how you posted. You have continued to post like a conservative.

Also accusing people of lying is a infractionable offense, you should know that as a mod.

I am quite aware of the rules, having been an Admin on this site for 10 years. I pointed out how you lied with examples. What you should have done is admitted it, apologized, and moved on.

David Brock is a sub human, but that is beside the point.

They are and how is that working out? Its blowing what little believably the media has left...Leftist are on other hand? They are losing their minds and he has not even taken office yet..I mean their were not all there to begin with, but they are melting down in numbers I could only dream of.

Want more proof.

Sounds like hate speech.
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

Why is it so hard for you to actually debate this issue and respond to questions, the confrontations of your inconsistency, hypocrisy, and dishonesty that you have presented? Did you expect to come here and just soapbox and have people just blindly accept what you said? The people on this site are some of the smartest, politically, on the internet. Your avoidance and dishonesty in debate tells me that you are WAY out of your league, here. Now, prove me wrong. I have posed several questions and confrontations that you have refused to address. Address them. If you dare.

Yeah, seen it on both sides. Mostly, it's to get a rise out of people. That's the best way to know who they are... they drop some bomb in a thread and don't or can't defend it.

Perhaps. But it's been my experience, whether paid or not, they use their posts to try and add legitimacy to the stereotypes of who/what they are pretending to be.

There was a poster this election cycle who used a character from Star Wars in his handle. 10-15 posts a day, week after week after week. All anti-Trump, all with links to the typical left biased websites.

Then they suddenly vanished. This poster, as with others like "him" wasn't trying to shut down contradictory opinion. They were pushing campaign narratives and spreading disinformation. A true David Brock boiler room blogger.

You do know he can do most of his plans on Immigration Via Executive Order, right?


Immigration and Nationality Act.

If you think Trump is going to represent the alt-right in office, you're dreaming!

He played your ilk for all you're worth, and rode into the WH on your backs.

He installed the consummate establishment insider, Reince Priebus, as his #2 man. Then played you guys once more by naming Steve Bannon to some fictional worthless figurehead post, and called him "co-equal".

Meanwhile all of Wall Street's been waltzing through the doors of the Tower in Midtown Manhattan for government jobs, and he's likely to install nearly a half-dozen of the very guys he told you he was taking down! The bank stocks are rallying & up 11% since the election. One week! All-of-a-sudden, after meeting with him and lining-up key government jobs - the bankers and Wall Street love him!

Source: Politico - Bankers celebrate dawn of Trump era

BTW - The subtitle on that article is: "A populist candidate who railed against shady financial interests on the trail is putting together an administration that looks like an investment banker's dream."

You've been had, but you haven't figured it out yet. And it's only one week in ...

All true. But the alt right does not exist as a movement, or as anything organized. It's quite obvious why someone would try to suggest it exists.

How can I defend something against an ideologue?
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

What do you do? I assume Navy/Air Force?

Army, but I work with the Air Force in a aerial unit.

Then you have nothing to worry about, National Defense is never really going to see spending cuts, expect are waste and spam like the F35 failure..

What I do in particular has a massive amount of funding sink, the majority of the budget is very much goes into the R&D to create the tools we use to better gather and analyze intelligence from enemy units. It's not "sexy" as a National Defense funding Trump would want to see, that much I'm sure.


Or the social engineering.

What on Earth are you talking about? You just throw out some words out of nowhere like "paying voting scams" and "social engineering"



No, it was created by welfare,

Welfare that my father used (a fellow veteran) to keep me fed so I can later become a soldier to serve a country that served me.



What?


pointless wars,

Maybe at one point I would have agreed with you, but if we're going to flex the largest military force in the world, we should be obligated to stand up for the nations and people who cannot stand for themselves.


and entitlements,

Entitlements that allowed my mother not to grow up on the street when she ran away from a physically abusive father, entitlements that allowed my father to go to school after serving in the Army despite the physical and emotional scars he volunteered to cope with for your right to call him, his wife, and his kids "moochers" and demand those entitlements get taken away.


get off of your victim statue.

I'm not a victim, I'm a soldier. I like to think I'm allowed at least express concern that my paycheck is going to be handled by a businessman who's known for not paying what he owes? (A businessman who has shown his ignorance on the military and how it operates.)

Ever stop to think that it might really exist, that even the left like a broken clock is right at least once a day?
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

america is already great
Agreed. :thumbs:

It got a little less great Nov 8th, and has the potential to slip a bit further over the next 4 years, but I take heart in knowing America tends to correct her mistakes.
 
Re: The Left will lose its mind when Trump starts to Make America Great Again.

More excuses and dishonesty. You've been questioned: you ran from the questions. Your hypocrisy in your OP has been exposed: you've run from that discussion. You've made false claims about positions, something that was proven: you refused to admit it and have continued to be dishonest about what people have said. Your hypocrisy and contradiction between you and your position has been demonstrated: you have refused to address it. Basically, your thread has been a complete failure and you have compounded that by refusing to respond to any attempts at debate. This is a VERY poor start at a debate site.
