Flag Burning hubbub (3 Viewers)

[blue32]

that's like saying you have to root for the Lakers or Cavs to win a championship when you're a Blazers fan...a lot of us have true convictions that kept us from voting for the Judge Judy show candidates but we're now the silent vote that lurks in the background and builds momentum for the next term...the new deplorables ....anyone with true convictions wouldn't think you'd fix a broken axle with carpenter glue

....... A championship does not affect you at all, compared to a president.

Had people really revolted against Hillary as the nominee they would have flipped that turd brigade around right quick.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yet, 50% ish voted for her. If they had true convictions they would have not voted, or voted green, much like I think you did.

I'm curious as to what are the deep moral convictions of Trump voters? Conservatism? Religious grounds? What?

A president doesn't affect me as much as a Supreme Court judge...you talk like you welcome division over and over...like taunting the losing team makes you right....yeah....time will tell soon enough about all that

For me it was all about policy and stance on certain things. I could give two shits about any dirt being thrown around from the Democrats.

Not sure what division you are talking about. I am just saying your previous comparison was invalid.

I'm not conducting an experiment but if I were, I'd take the test from an objective professor...thanks for taking the time to evaluate my opinions and offer feedback though....being loud doesn't mean one is right. We both know you're not going to actually like most things I express here anyway.

So you which policies? Anti-free trade? Endorsing Mercantilism? Authoritarian comments? Advocating an imperial presidency? What exactly?

EDIT:
For what it's worth I don't think there was anything particularly principled about voting for Hillary (for those that did so), but Trump's brand of nativist, populism isn't based on anything resembling traditional conservatism, so it's not like there's much there to grab hold of regarding "first principles" either (with respect to classic liberal democracy).

Didn't you say you work for UPS or FedEx? And have already made over 90 grand this year doing a 100 percent unskilled job? I can see how one would be so far out of touch with reality in that case.

What the hell right do you have to judge a person's skill or vision.....talk about out of touch with reality....sounds like you could use a check up

I'm sorry, I was using the literal definition of unskilled. My bad, I forgot that there was that HUGE training school for FedEx drivers.....also known as the DMV.

And what the fuck kind of vision are you talking about?

The kind where a guy says a bisexual guy can't be anything but gay?

Here, sue the internet for slander or libel if you want.

yet you didn't like my Lakers Cavs metaphor? ok....whatever gives you joy...flag burning.....I wouldn't do it personally as a method of protest or stop traffic either...vision is how we perceive life....if you think the DMV gives anyone their entire set of life skills....well ok then...my FedEx driving neighbor is a pretty skillful dude....also is a member of local city council..also farms grapes and has an acreage.....you were thinking computer skills?

nah.....I don't believe in any of that....go ahead ignore my point and talk about law suits......you voted for the right guy....whew

 

[The Professional Fan]

lol at the OP for posting this thread just so he can throw the 2005 Hillary shit in Dems faces. Such a unifier.

Are your posts suffering from a mental defect?

What does farming grapes and having land have to do with loading packages in a truck and driving around the neighborhood?

He can paint an exact copy of The Mona Lisa with his penis while his eyes are closed and that will have nothing to do with driving a delivery truck.

I didn't have time to read your analogy, plus I don't care because I believe flag burning is completely legal.

 

[noknobs]

Yeah flag burning is perfectly legal. At the same time I'm kinda rooting for these people's clothes to catch fire when they do it. Nothing too serious, just third degree burns over 20-25% of their body.

At $25M of government spending or less, it's break even with what Democrats traditionally spend per "job."

so breaking even with what the democrats spend is good government to you now? if i remember right, you roasted obama for propping up general motors, now its "sore losers" complaining because this is such a huge win for trump?

what in the ever loving fuck. come on denny.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

And yet half the country including Rasta still want her elected and put into power.

I am not defending Trump with these replies, I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy of Rasta's continual online protest.

clinton is a corpse. nobody cares about her, at all.

basketball championship compared to a presidential election, come on man..... I respect your opinion, but that was a weak ass comparison, which didn't make sense.

Why not, it was all in some political trolling fun. The Hillary supporters triggered all year upon 2005 "Trump-shit"..... and you are right, I was trolling the shit out of the Hillary supporters to see if anyone was going to trigger-up on Trump's flag stance. Not a lot of bites here, but holy shit reddit and Facebook was awash with Clinton supporters denouncing the shit out of Trump until they saw the trap that Trump had laid.

Pure 4D movement. It was well played by Trump. And then he goes and drops the fucking Patraeus bomb, and CNN totally takes the bait and makes a tweet about how insane it would be for Trump to have someone as SOS who gave away secrets. LOL LOL.

Nah. I don' think it's going to actually COST anything. If they don't have to pay as much tax, it's not spending - it's just taxing less.

Whereas Obama borrowed $800B and spent it on "shovel ready jobs" that only lasted a couple years, if that, and cost $2.5M or more of that $800B per job.

carrier is a huge contractor for the the government. im guessing its more like, "hey keep those jobs here, we will give you a sweet contract on the taxpayer dime"

From what I read, it's the state of Indiana that is making concessions to Carrier, not the feds.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

if anything, the media probably drove the narrative hard enough that carrier was willing to take the loss (for now) in order to make this story go away.

 

[Denny Crane]

Could be. The thing is, while lefties are whining about Trump and his picks, he just saved 1000 jobs paying $24/hr. If that kind of thing is all he does for his entire presidency, it's a big win.

CNN is looking how to spin it negatively. Naturally.

im waiting for the details of this deal. if taxpayers are subsidizing carrier, its a pile of crap. just give the money to the workers.

That doesn't work.

giving people money?

 

[Denny Crane]

giving people money?

No. It doesn't work.

Obama basically did that and what happened is the $24/hr jobs went away and were replaced with $10/hr jobs that the government subsidized.

we give people money every day. it keeps them from starving to death.

That gets Democrats elected. It pisses everyone else off.
