When the President is talking about political violence casually it normalizes it as a part of the conversation. I felt like it was a pretty appropriate response to "why are people feeling the need to talk about political violence despite our relative social and economic comfort level". Hey man when you don't have a lot of muscle mass and you only order the 11% ABV double imperials to show just how refined your palate is 2-3 of those bad boys get you blitzed But what was posted was when Trump was a candidate, not the President. thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every bit as much something as your #whataboutisms Are you really saying that? Has it not concerned you that the current president had extremist, radicals following him from the onset?

soupslam1 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Bernie backers as blood lust avengers strikes me as funny. I see Bernie backers as a bunch of cry baby wimps that live in their parents basement. They are the mask wearing Antifa dudes that need twenty of them to muster up the courage to fight one or two old man conservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modestobulldog Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Another touring violence and revolution in Bernie's campaign. The guillotine is very humane, moreso than gulags.

smltwnrckr Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 On this thread, and in public by TrumpWorld, Bernie Bros are at the same time identified as laughable and terrifying. So, we have Schrodinger's leftists to go along with Schrodinger's immigrants. I've been advocating for years on here that we all need to embrace life's paradoxes. This is not what I was talking about... Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
