[the AntiPusher]

seems like the health care system in Miami is starting to feel the strain. I really hoped that warmer weather would have some sort of dampening effect. When will this nightmare end! At least now we know, learning from places like Taiwan and Japan that mask wearing is more important than full on social distancing I can only hope that some of these inbred Trump fuckers will just take that on board and do the right thing. It's heartening to see that a lot of his base didn't turn up to the rally. Whether they failed to turn up because they actually believe the facts on covid-19 or they are getting tired of the orange buffoon, either way is a positive sign in my book..

"Simpleton", who uses terms like that.

We don't know Carol's life or truth. All we can do is discuss. Maybe she hasn't thought about it that hard, because she hasn't had to. That's where we are now. Cali, on the other hand...there's nothing left to learn there. That's just all clash and insult, now. (On both sides.)

I wonder what Carol will say about this

Trump has appointed Barr as the AG who is essentially over the DOJ to do his bidding.

No, Barr is there to behave like a normal attorney general and investigate legitimate crimes. What you want is an attorney general who continues the silly project of Mueller to investigate Trump just to investigate and dig up dirt on him.

The DOJ is supposed to operate independent of the president however Barr is just rogue.

That statement indicates that there is absolutely no lie or laughable assertion of the Democratic establishment and Democratic media you won't believe. Barr authorized a perfectly legitimate investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, which clearly entailed a slew of crimes and lies on the part of the FBI and the CIA. You don't have to like Trump to see that. The stories are too numerous to count.

Oh, and by the way, did you have a problem with Holder explicitly calling himself "the president's wing man" in 2013?

"I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, there’s still work to be done. I’m still the President’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy. So we’ll see," Holder said in an interview on the Tom Joyner radio show.

Oh, Crikey.

Lol.....this is who is allying herself with inner-city blacks: a middle-aged white woman who uses phrases like "oh, crikey." I have to admit that reading this, even in these dark times, was pretty funny.

There is so much to satirize about the left in modern America, and one especially funny thing is how the white leftists who politically align themselves with blacks are so different than blacks themselves. Their alliance is born entirely out of a shared hatred. Sometimes it makes me just say "oh, crikey."

Just read your above. You are trying to say that what happened in 2019 is what has caused the recent outrage.

No, what caused "the recent outrage" is no different than what caused the outrage after the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown shootings (2012 and 2014): namely, the completely idiotic, counter-factual, baseless notion that the history of the USA has been purely negative for black people and that life in this country for black people only became slightly tolerable after the civil rights legislation of the 1965. This ahistorical nonsense is the root of this rage.

Somehow you completely forgot George Floyd. Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor. All lives lost at the hands of racist violence have built towards this, but you don't get to ignore the most recent outrages that sparked the flames. And you continue to insist that property damage is more outrageous than lives lost. SMH.

This post from June 10th talked about "lives lost” - of course, only at the hands of police. Only two days earlier, the city of Chicago - which is run by leftists who hold all of Moxie's idiotic beliefs - had its most deadly day in 60 years, with over 60 shootings and 24 fatalities. And then over the recent Father's Day weekend there were another 100+ shootings, with 14 fatalities. One of those 14 fatalities was a 3-year-old black boy. Another was a 13-year-old black girl.

And is Moxie sanctimoniously talking about "lives lost"? No, all we have from her are crickets.

Of course, Moxie doesn't really care about "black lives." She cares about "black lives" that are lost which fit a certain narrative that somehow demonizes her political opponents, no matter how nebulous or convoluted the connection. If she actually cared about "black lives," she would just admit that her ideas have failed miserably in the last 60 years for black people and have caused a massive amount of carnage.

Ahem...you're the one that just made an equivalency with the Nazis. As far as being on the right side of history, the Confederates lost the civil war. And you may not like this idea, but there are plenty of people who see it as a racist symbol.

They may also regard the name "Yale University" to be a racist symbol, since Yale was named after Elihu Yale, a prominent slave trader. I guess Yale must change its name too. Also the state of New York, since the duke of York owned slaves.

It's not just the South that was involved in slavery.

Of course, I'm not for changing the names of Yale or New York, but by the current logic, they must be changed because of their connections to slavery. The root problem here is that the way the history of slavery is presented nowadays is utterly stupid and ridiculous. It is taught with zero balance, knowledge, or historical context.

Since deeply misinformed non-Americans and misinformed Americans like to attack Trump over anything they can get their hands on, I would like to praise Trump for a prescient warning he made in 2017 (although, to be fair, others made this warning earlier). He predicted that the statues of Washington and Jefferson would be soon to follow those of Robert E. Lee. Many on the left called him crazy. But the events of recent weeks have proven him right.

The only minor quibble I would have with Trump is that he said "there were fine people on both sides." There may have been some fine people on the pro-Lee side, but it is much harder to see how there were any fine people on the anti-Lee side. I would put the ratios at something like this:

Right-wing side: 70% good people, 30% bad people.
Left-wing side: 95% bad people, maybe 5% good people.

The only possible "good people" on the left-wing side would have been, arguably, some deeply misinformed blacks who actually thought they were doing something good for blacks by protesting the Robert E Lee statue, simply for tribal reasons. That position is nonsensical, but I can somewhat excuse it based on tribal reasons.

At any rate, this was a truly prescient moment for Trump that he deserves immense credit for. He called it:

Look at this Tinfoil Federturd.....don’t ever call Trump supporters dumb after you fell for the biggest hoax job in American history. The likes of Obama and Susan Rice know that the media is totally in the tank for them and that stupid, gullible, low-information CNN readers like you will fall for any narrative they choose to push.

You were a sucker. You fell for it completely:

you lost me mate. No one faked Flynn's actions. He admitted to his actions, multiple times. I think you're the one a bit deluded, so what's new? You're an idiot, and that's not new either! You were always an idiot

Flynn got released because of Barr who is next to get impeached. Cali and the truth are mutually exclusive.

 

[calitennis127]

It really is amazing how you persist in being absolutely stupid and ignorant. You are so lazy that you can't even do the slightest bit of research beyond scanning the headlines of a CNN or Atlantic article. Flynn and his new attorney have explained on multiple occasions - including in Flynn's declaration from January of this year - that he plead guilty to lying because of exorbitant legal fees and to protect his son, not because he was actually guilty of lying to the FBI about anything.

Furthermore, we know that the agents who interviewed Flynn did not even initially think that he was lying. That was a charge contrived by the Mueller investigation months down the road. As usual, you are an utter idiot.

I think you're the one a bit deluded, so what's new?

No, you've just been dead wrong this entire time with everything pertaining to "Russian collusion" and you can't stand to admit it. You're also on a board here with mostly like-minded people, so no one except myself is calling you out for being the idiot that you were.

The only thing that is instructive about dialogue with you is that it is further proof - if any was needed - how intellectually pretentious and worthless most people who work in the financial world are nowadays. You think that because you know the markets (or at least think you do) that you understand everything about the world. The reality is that you are an intellectual serf, an underdeveloped, lazy child who knows absolutely nothing about political theory or anything outside your little box.

You are so ignorant and so dumb and so misinformed that you called John Bolton an "arch conservative." Do you know how stupid that makes you sound to anyone who knows anything?

And here comes the mumbling slave to the Democratic Party. Whatever master (the Democratic Party and its media allies) tell him to believe, he does so dutifully.

Btw, you were just as wrong about the Flynn case as Tinfoil Federturd was. We just have to look at your idiotic, low-information posts from December and January to see that.

The only thing I will give you credit for is that, unlike Federturd, you don't pretend to have any intellectual depth (partially because your terrible English does not even allow you to make a pretense of that). Tinfoil Federturd thinks that he is an intellectual because he repeats what he sees on CNN headlines or the first two lines of a goofy Atlantic article.

This isn't just American foolishness. However listening to this babbling satanic worshipper and Cali's right wing propanda, this country has some real red neck devils. This girl is most likely lower class welfare recipient just like Cali.All they are doing is trying to protect their whiteness.

Awwww, look at Moxie. She is trying to save face after her idiotic posts claiming that the cretinous cultural illiterates ripping down statues would not go after Lincoln, which they are (see below). And not only have they gone after Lincoln monuments, they have also desecrated monuments of abolitionists in California, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania in recent days, as well as a monument to a black army regiment near Boston. So much for Moxie having a clue of what she was talking about.

As for Calhoun, he was the most brilliant political theorist in the history of this country. His book “Disquisition on Government” is one of the greatest political works in American history. He was far too well-educated and too highbrow to get respect from a population that thinks Pete Buttigieg is a great mind.

Right here, this is American education at work. This is how stupid the Democratic Party electorate actually is:

Lol.....more evidence of what a dumb and worthless piece of shit that Federturd is. It’s funny how he feels free to just insult a woman of color as soon as they don’t say what he wants them too. The masks are a completely stupid, unscientific policy that have not been proven to work by anybody. They are nothing but superstition, symbolism, and mind control.

The only justification that has been offered for them is that they were supposed to prevent asymptomatic spread. But just a few weeks ago, the WHO said that asymptomatic spread was “very rare.”

Get up to speed Federturd. And you really should stop talking down on anyone for ignorance after claiming that John Bolton is an arch conservative. If you ever wrote your opinions on a paper, it wouldn’t deserve to be used as toilet paper for the dirty ass of a homeless person living down the block from Nancy Pelosi. That’s how dumb and ignorant you are, shithead.
