- The republicans are scum.lowimpakt
- Just think, this 37 year old "community nutrition educator" with very little political experience is gaining clout because of this...robotron3k
- isnt this the chic who bashed jews or some other shit? be nice if media simply focused on a policy all pr is good pr for these cunts********
- its my opinion she isnt qualified for her job. like most. and I hope media grows a sense of responsibilt, not that i expect it********
- and highlight what matters. not what is click worthy emotional sensationalism. ukit you should no better********
- A fundamental basis of a democracy is that anyone regardless of background can put themselves forward for election. She had more political experience than trumplowimpakt
- And this islamophobic attack by other elected officials is fucking disgusting and those responsible should resignlowimpakt
- Muslims have been a part of our fabric of society since George Washington, only since we needed to keep oil flowing have we demonized them, 'no' that.BonSeff
- She didn’t attack Jews, she simply pointed out that the Israel lobby has a huge influence on U.S. foreign policy. Which is absolutely true.yuekit
- She's a straight-up anti-Semite... just like you clowns are so often anti-Christian. And before you deny it goto the religion thread and remind yourselves.PonyBoy
- If merely criticizing Israeli lobbying is automatically anti-semitic...well that's an awfully good deal for Israel lobbyists.yuekit
- ffs... House Democrats are drafting a resolution to tell the racist idiot (Omar) to shut her fucking mouth... need more proof? DEMOCRATS want her to shut up. :)PonyBoy

- lol...I read the news, you didn't really need to post the story 10 times. Of course Democrats can be wrong too.yuekit
- This guy for instance
https://pbs.twimg.co…yuekit - Questioning the U.S. Israel relationship is unacceptable? That strikes me as a truly fanatical viewpoint.yuekit
- If you go back and look at what she actually said...it was quite mild. Nothing close to "ban all Muslims from entering the country" or "immigrants are bringingyuekit
- rape and disease" both of which the President (which all these Republicans support) said! lol. Gimme a break.yuekit
- just saying yuekit i find both clickbait shit. i think for me personally its this bullshit "news worthy" "shareable" shit that is floating the shit to the top********
- i said it with trump. and will say it again. the best thing is not to fill the vacuum with posting of shit. raise the bar.********
- why are the worst of the worst possible politicians getting media time? our current entertainment political system floats what gets good ratings********
- and hope idiots votes for either A or B. its a fuckin reality tv show and getting more poorly scripted by algos and hardly has anything ever to do with policy********
- just virtue signaling.. you know what I'll post a nice video for you too understand how this social media environment is corrupting and changing how we reason********
- function and respond to stimuli.********
- Also, you have to be an idiot to be a muslim playing on the israel/jew angle. I for one actually think shes dumb enough to believe it. Nothing she has ever said********
- or done to me seems to suggest otherwise that i know of. Perhaps if she followed up by suggesting our support never had shared interests or something of********
- substance that showed me she realized how it would be viewed and a greater point to it all, i might have think differently. but im pretty sure shes an idiot********
- probably with some underlining ties to religion and just making headlines out of stupidity an accident. tellign herself shes making a difference********
- and i think what she should be doing is mostly focusing on her state and all the money they lost in the foreign public daycare scam********
- minnesota has a lot of PC/foreigner nice laws and all but taxpayers got fuuuucked.********
- Im pretty sure shes just loosely falling the social and media cues to what resonates with a mob democracy poorly********

I'm luvin' her new hairdo and that soft under-chin lighting hides decades of cynister deeds.... Hillary is looking tan, rested and ready for 2020, added to that, the ridiculous socialist movement creates a massive "power" vacuum in the center that gets Hillary thirsty....!
This is getting better every day... #MakeHillaryRunAgain
- at least you stupid assholes have stopped talking about Obama nowscruffics
- I'm not sure if it's more racist, or condescending, that she's mimicking the intonations of the baptist minister trope.Gnash

TIL: AOC was cast out of 10,000 candidates, along with her freshman House members by a organization called Justice Democracy who put out a casting call looking for political candidates...
This explains, with zero political experience 2 months in, how she's walked in and set the future of the party. I wonder if Pelosi/Hillary and company will try and defend their throne..
- Keep this woman bashing train going, roboBonSeff
- this seems like a good idea to get people involved in politics that are not tied into elite networks or dumb as shit wealthy people.lowimpakt
- she has more political experience than Trump, and Russians put HIM in place to set the future of the Republican party, all with their consent, AND YOURSmonospaced
- yes, people not from the political/business elites are getting into politics. even if she has less experience she's more interesting than all of the dems.renderedred
- also, why is it that only conservatives keep saying AOC is the future of the Democratic party? It's so fucking weird, and exposes their true colorsmonospaced

*hops on slow boat to EuropePonyBoy - if that's her grade, then I suppose Trump would have failed long agomonospaced

- love how the right is focusing on this woman, whom they insist is nobody, like she’s the president or something ... pshhhhmonospaced
- The right want her to be upfront and centre. it works best for them that wayGnash
- Zero evidence you can point to that she is hurting the Democrats aside from conservative whining...yuekit
- Her bartender job was a 2nd job she had to take after her father died. She also worked for an education consulting firm, set up her own social enterprise,lowimpakt
- worked for not-for-profit organisations and as an organiser on Bernie's campaign. People that focus on her bar work are smarmy dickheads.lowimpakt
- She's 28, lowimpakt... she hasn't done shit regardless of your list... she needs experience. Her shitty term paper is proof of that... now go get me a beer.PonyBoy
- 'smarmy dickhead'... if you have to start calling people shit then that's proof that you know your stance is weak... btw... I'll take a nice IPA... thanks.PonyBoy
- Seriously, low... did you read her moronic proposal? I just ran through it again... it's now even 8th grade idealism. She acts like she's presenting something..PonyBoy
- ... 'new'. She's so proud of her juvenile scribbles that anyone w/the ability to run the numbers (9th graders) laugh at this silliness. She's a child.PonyBoy
- now even = not evenPonyBoy
- And she now showing some racist colors by supporting the bullshit racist fuck of a human, Rashida Tlaib... that shit she said to Meadows at the Cohen hearing...PonyBoy
- ... really showed what a fucking idiot she is. I'm left wondering what the fuck OAC is doing running to her aid w/the chairman (whose black) showed...PonyBoy
- ... that racist fuck Tlaib what a fool she is talking shit about Meadows. You clowns on the left are so full of hate for Trump you can't see through...PonyBoy
- ... how stupid (and smug) you all look by screaming 'racist' at every fucking turn. Either grow up or get used to losing.PonyBoy
- She’s still smarter, more experienced, more capable, better spoken and far more eloquent and mature than the actual president. Crazy right?monospaced
- Still can’t figure out why conservatives are so threatened by her. Nothing to see here.monospaced
- no she's not, mono... like...every other word is like... just like... like...
... see where I'm going here? :) (she's a kid)
And nobody is threatened...PonyBoy - ... secretly the conservies are enjoying watching many dems / media bow to a child... makes them look... well - dumb. :)PonyBoy

- Did I miss something? These are elected officials?formed
- Or maybe the definition of socialism has changed since none of the fear mongerer's seem to have a clue what it actually means and that no one is promoting it.formed
- They're taken as seriously and are used by elected officials daily... so yes, I guess you missed something, formed. This isn't fear mongering...PonyBoy
- ... it's merely asking mouthy assholes to literally put the money where their mouths are.PonyBoy
- yeah, actors and their millions are ruining progress in the world. is this seriously how people think?inteliboy
- No... people just think they should shut the fuck up and get back to acting... else put up their money if they think other rich folks should do the same.PonyBoy
- They're used by politicians often... at campaign events, fundraisers. These fuckers even are used as 'witnesses' to testify in front of Congress...PonyBoy
- ... simply because they played A FUCKING CHARACTER in a movie... as if they're some expert the belongs testifying (yammering on) in front of Legislature.PonyBoy
- LOL these three don't argue for redistribution of wealth. Idiots.nb

- We'll be at this all night btw... ;)PonyBoy
- they may be a little bit annoying. but who fucking cares. there are actual problems in the world like controling multibillion$ lobbyists, media and corporationsinteliboy
- inteliboy corruption comes from all sides. and I could make the case that the left are more corrupt and more prone to bribes bc they try to regulate controlhotroddy
- lula de silvia, hugo chaves, kristina kirschner, justin trudeau are all on the political lefthotroddy
- lula, chavez and kristina were the greatest swindlers in latin america historyhotroddy
- and actors 'act' to be socialists because they are in the public eye and it's good PR so they don't seem so out of touch when spending their fortunes.hotroddy

- This is as pathetic as saying 'if you want dem policies send your own check to the IRS Warren'. Just lazy and stupid.formed

- ... or simply don't care about the policy but riding populism waves for self gains********
- uh oh the GREED that people can only see in those that are more successful than themselves. Funny how the light of rich and successful cast shadows on small fry********

- https://www.psycholo…zaq
- I think they are just lost and, after Trump, really don't have a clue about much, certainly nothing relevant to reality.formed
- its a poor joke but not to understand it seems strange. the whole idea of socialism is equality. the joke is pointing out that what is the point of an award********
- when all get participation trophies. the people participating have no desire to rise above knowing its all the same, the people watching have no desire to watch********
- its an absolute zero. a death, why live? why try to be better? everyone who likes socialism has a narrow view. they look only at what others have they dont.********
- they never see the motivating forces or the ecosystem. focused purely on selfish greed trying to pass it off under pretense of altruism********
- so its a weak joke, but do you find it un funny because you think the basis has no merit in reality. jokes are funny because they are true. data:image/jpeg;base********
- well family guy muslim bit image...if you think its unfunny because its baseless I'd love to hear it. I hate poor jokes without a basis.********

robotron3k, what's actually wrong with socialism?
- You can vote your way into it, but you have to shoot your way out of it...robotron3k
- If someone has a good example of a Socialist culturally diverse country with a population of over 300 mil, feel free to post. Baby-sized countries don't count.robotron3k
- I think a better start to this conversation would be defining socialism, agreeing on a definition or context, and then moving forward.T-Dawg
- Because socialism and social programs are completely different things and are often purposefully misrepresented in order to sway public opinion.T-Dawg
- You Americans really need to crack open a political science text book, and read about how things like socialism and social democracy are defined ...Continuity
- ... and then finally comprehend that many people on the left in your country want social democracy, not outright socialism.Continuity
- And I'll give you a hint: social democracy is what NATO countries like Denmark and Germany practise, and looks nothing like, say, Venezuela.Continuity
- Like Canada, Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands.
All shithole countries, Robo?nbq - he said over 300 mill. citizens, nbq... and he didn't say a word about 'shithole' countries. Canada has just over a 10th our population—the rest don't compare.PonyBoy
- ... and robo also said 'culturally diverse'... the four countries you listed are at minimum 75% white and pasty.PonyBoy
- Oh, I see. The US shouldn't be a social democracy because it's not an aribtrary minimum percentage of lilly white people. Got it.Continuity
- Who the fuck said anything about any 'arbitrary minimum'? He asked for examples of culturally diverse countries over 300 mill that are socialist...PonyBoy
- ... and none of you can't simply answer 'none' w/out being facetious pricks. Robo has a point and nobody is willing to approach w/sense... bummer.PonyBoy
- The only point I see being made goes along the lines of 'we don't want this country to progress because it's not white'.Continuity
- Nobody said that but you, continuity... you're making shit up instead of answering robo's simple Q. The answer to his Q is 'none'.PonyBoy
- Pony, the question he asked is flawed. Deal with it.mathinc
- It is not flawed, Tommy... Demographics most certainly will come into play in any country that redistributes someone else's property.PonyBoy
- It's part of the discussion... just as much as 'defining' the diff. between actual socialism and social democracy is part of the discussion.PonyBoy
- Nobody, eh? So why bring up 'culturally diverse' in the first place, then? Pray, tell me what race and culture have to do with 'socialism'. Go on.Continuity
- Instead of answering his Q and making it part of the conversation some of you clowns are redirecting the tone toward race and that alone.PonyBoy
- robo has absolutely no point at all because nobody at all is pushing for a socialist America. That is as fictional as a Mexican border wall.monospaced
- Race is all this country dwells on lately, Continuity... right down to Will Smith not being black enough. ;) If you think for one second it's not going...PonyBoy
- ... jammed down your throat by the media / politicians as this discussion / debate moves forward then you're not living in reality.PonyBoy
- Socialist programs make perfect sense for a large, culturally and economically diverse nation. It’s essential to have some of those, like we’ve had for centuriemonospaced
- And let's be clear... he also mentioned population. I see each and every one of you jumping over that and hopping on race... proving my point.PonyBoy
- Socialist programs are definitely needed... I can't argue that. What I can argue is how they're paid for and whether they're controlled locally vs. nationally.PonyBoy
- Social programs people! lol, 'socialist programs' add to the confusion and are not the correct term.T-Dawg
- Tythe to the tax exempt church!BonSeff
- OR BURN IN HELLBonSeff
- GOP's version of socialismBonSeff
- Can we just step back a second? There is nobody pushing for a socialist America and that’s why freedom is asking why robo is so bothered by it. It’s not real.monospaced
- my bad, T-Dawg (you're right on the terminology... I was retyping mono's words... way to go, mono!!) :PPonyBoy
- Programs that seem socialist are necessary. Not even close to a socialist nation. Conservatives are fabricating something to be triggered by.monospaced
- mono, all this shit is framed around healthcare.. i.e. the insurance middleman scamBonSeff
- You really want the Gov running your healthcare, Bon? Been to the DMV lately? Or anything Gov-run / oriented? They're fucking hell hole operations.PonyBoy
- They run a tight ship bombing brown peopleBonSeff
- and yea, got my license renewed recently, in and out. although dmv is state run. found out my right eye is near sighted.BonSeff

- Uhhh. NOBODY is saying let government “run” healthcare like the dmv. It’s only about the way it’s subsidized and covered ffs.monospaced
- Pony, I know this was 39 posts back. But redistributing $ is happening, but in reverse. Look at any data set concerning income inequality.mathinc
- Why is Plutocracy a more palatable choice than a Social Democracy?mathinc
- Is it to society's benefit that someone like Bezos has more than he could ever spend, while half a million people with go bankrupt for medical bills?mathinc
- Bezos is irrelevant. The problem is more with Amazon not paying taxes and the wealthiest getting handouts, while everyone else pays.formed
- That's the other part of it, definitely. Pony was talking about redistribution of wealth.mathinc
- i think Boris Yeltsin summed it up when he saw a grocery store in the US. "When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods********
- of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with with despair for the Soviet people,"********
- plus we have a shit ton of "socialist" programs in the US. Have any fixed the problems? And look at the baby step growths and costs********
- Our socialist programs have been the biggest program growth as percentage of gdp federally and on state levels********
- yet they have done little to alleviate original objectives. they have also driven costs higher for non program users********
- they have mostly benefited the rich people pushing them or people with interests in them.********
- lets talk about that. no imaginary shit, but real effective collective gov programs that are a success********
- in the us right now. medicare? SS, the pension system? SNAP? HIgher edu funding? Public school funding?********

LEAKED INTERNAL EMAILS from the powerful Democratic think tank Center for American Progress (CAP) shed light on several public controversies involving the organization, particularly in regard to its positioning on Israel. They reveal the lengths to which the group has gone in order to placate AIPAC and long-time Clinton operative and Israel activist Ann Lewis — including censoring its own writers on the topic of Israel.

^ Maybe he's right
Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn’t work out. When he learned that John O’Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, "You are going to die young because of this."
