Many are going to regret their vote for Trump

From day one, everybody has been underestimating this guy's influence and potential for malfeasance. I hope I am wrong but I can see the wolves salivating on these sites. As you said yourself, the nation is already deeply fractured. All it would take is a little more fanning.

You've not offended me at all.

I'm quite chuffed that you've turned up to get the ball rolling again here.

Our western society has never been more divided, though not along the lines you'd imagine. In a time when there's plenty for everybody, artificial shortages and times of want are imposed by those who choose to use their position of power to control and subjugate.

There's so much that we're not seeing, that this whole argument about HRC or DT is such a waste of our time.

That's what they do. Why should Muslims have to spend all day condemning terrorist attacks anyway? Who else does that?

Btw, Gooey was asked point blank if he would condemn the shooting at Sandy Hook, he refused. That's the sort of person he is.

Naming Bannon as his closest adviser, for one.

You'd have to expand on that for us.

Bannon who?

For one, the populace support will not be required. All that any president needs to manipulate the system is access to all this cyber spying data. Like Hoover did with FBI files, at power 100... If any congressman stirs too much ****, he will be easily intimidated / blackmailed into submission. Information is power.

Look at the FBI's announcement that they were reopening their investigation into Clinton's email. There was absolutely nothing in there, it turned out, and yet that had a significant impact on the election.

For two, a good proportion of the people already accepts and welcomes the idea of dictatorship. Look at how a lot of people reacted to Snowden with a lynching instinct. They wanted him killed or arraigned, and cared not about what he was revealing. Look at Frugal here who thinks that democracy is mob rule. He is not the only one. Heck, look at yourself and how easily you argued that Californians do not deserve equal representation because they are "unique"...

There's no reason to assume Trump will use his vast powers benevolently. There are no workable checks and balances anymore. Many people are confused and angry. That's a powder keg.

Muslims who vehemently oppose terrorism do expose themselves to retaliation, that's true.

What chronic 2 bass says in that vid goes well beyond a response to the argument that Muslims need to be vocal against terrorism. Because that latter argument is very weak: there's no reason to ask Muslims to oppose terror anymore than anybody else.

He is saying something much more radical: that Muslims are doomed unless they fight tooth and nail against the crazies among their communities, mosques, neighborhoods, etc. That Muslims need to report any fishy behavior to the police; that they need to beat the **** out of the extremists among them. Not just protest: fight. Because non-Muslims have no chance of success in that fight if the Muslims don't fight along their fellow citizens.

It's beyond irritating that people think this way. Bannon's crime so far is to have a different belief system than Establishment Democrats.

They are trying to recast him as a Nazi.

No one has proven anything about him that is worth all the noise.

BTW, IZZY posts from inside
Broadmoor Hospital, a high-security psychiatric hospital at Crowthorne in Berkshire, England.


It's easy to say anything...Let's see your proof.

Response moderated: Personal attack. See more info.

You're still unable to address any of the points I raised. It's like talking to a backward child.

You failed to raise a valid point.

Condemn it now then, about three months too late, but better than nothing.

As for proof, you've never provided any reliable evidence for any of your nonsense.

You can't address any of the points made because you don't know how to. It's one of the many skill sets you lack. All you can do is repeat stuff you've been told to say by people marginally less stupid than you.

Not one you'd understand, but still valid.

Me too, re fears for the U.S. and possibly a lot of the rest of the world.

Liberal progressive democrats are having the toughest time accepting their loss... their complete rejection. We should all fear reprisals from the intolerant left, but we need to remain on offense forever.

I read later that his facebook link to that video had 5 million clicks; not sure what the timing on that was, so it might be more by now.

Cut on the hyperbole yourself. I never said he was a nazi. But Breibhart is clearly on right of the right, ultra pro Israel, anti-gay, anti-emigration, and not exactly the friends of socialists a la Bernie Sanders.
