Trump is not stupid, thats definitely not true But that doesnt mean his political strategy will work or he has not made several terrible decisions in his attempts to be the Predisential choice ....for me the worst thing he has done is alienate the minorities, short term objective to appeal to some Republican sentiments. But this will cost him the final election and he will have no one else but himself to blame "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

BruceVC Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 LF: No need to get upset about Bruce's antics. He has confessed of being brought up in matriarchal household with little to no father figures or heroes, which also explains why his arguments sounds like a something a girl would make on the school playground with the same arrogance that comes with it, as boys don't hit girls. A normal man knows that that kind of attitude would get him beat up or even put behind the sauna as we say in Finland, but he simply doesn't understand for the reasons i just stated. If you drop all assumptions of him arguing like a man among men, but as a little Daisy trying asserting her dominance as queen hen of her pack and you can have a chuckle and move on. As for the Hillary case, i am still waiting for the scapegoat(s) to appear or to be found. Dude I was raised by a single mother, that's not a valid excuse. And look just so we're clear: I'm not blind to the fact I'm essentially screaming at a wall, I'm just too stubborn to give up, because it pains me to imagine someone like Bruce in any position of power exhibiting such a thought process while doing their job. Holy hell, think of all the chaos. Surely we can reveal this as a troll once and for all. Surely we can actually get through to him. I refuse to give up on trying, no matter how hopeless that is. I dunno if that's just stubborness, because I need to be able to sleep at night or because I hold a belief in the need to try or you can't critique such stupidity since you've done nothing to try and fix it yourself, but yeah, I refuse to stop trying. LK do you mind if I just add to this You see you conflating debates on the Internet like GG where there is no definitive "correct " answer to things like this Hilary being charged incident..and there is a definitive answer So now we having a normal debate where many times there is in fact only two possible answers, you had a certain view and I had a another. But one of us is wrong and one of us is right...its not a big deal but I can see you not use to it And also lets say I am a troll, how would you even begin to reveal this? Its like Oby, even if he is a troll he cant and wont change now But what exactly would you say makes me a troll?

Its nice knowing you never have to explain or justify certain comments hey KP....for example if I'm idiot can you give me a few examples of where I've said something and its been wrong ...as in my account of history is flawed 3 examples would be nice but somehow I dont think you will acquiesce to my request, thats okay its a forum.

Wrath of Dagon Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 But the FBI are the ones who have decided not to charge her....surly we not saying the FBI is under the influence of the Democrats and they not doing there job properly? First of all the FBI has decided nothing of the sort. And they can't charge her. All they can do is recommend a charge to the United States Attorney General. Who just had a "secret" meeting with Bill Clinton which no reporters or photographers were allowed to see. Do you REALLY think they were talking about their grandchildren? Except that it's not how it works. The FBI (or any other Federal law enforcement agency seeking a federal indictment) works together with the prosecutor (U.S. Attorney's Office) who presents the evidence to a federal grand jury --which makes the judgment to indict based on whether there is enough evidence for the accused to have committed the crime. The Attorney General is not part of the process and it would not be ethical for her to be involved with the process, and she has EXPLICITLY stated that she will not be part of the process. That's contrary to everything I've read on the subject. She would decide if the case was presented to the grand jury to start with, no?

Which begs the question from where and from whom have you read regarding the subject matter? Look, we have senior career FBI agents, analysts, other specialists, and their supervisors making sure the investigation is done by the book and as thorough as possible. To which they are working directly with the jurisdictional U.S. Attorney's office -- led by a career senior Assistant U.S. Attorney (if not the chief of the division), and a team of AUSA's and paralegals, and with support of the U.S. Attorney. The U.S. Attorney General is not going to overrule her U.S. Attorney. These guys and gals know what they're doing and don't mess around. If they believe there is enough evidence of criminal wrongdoing, they will present it to the Grand Jury seeking an indictment. Federal cases going to court have a 92% conviction rate. If they don't believe they have enough evidence, neither the FBI or the USAO will seek an indictment. Pure and simple. The AG is not part of the decision making process. 1 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is trying for the white vote, and he has the highest support for a republican amongst blacks in forever, mostly because of his anti-immigration stance. So many people outside of the USA typically have completely misunderstood the rise of Trump and what it means...and it has been a complicated affair that confuses even Americans I was confused for several weeks but now I understand but to give you an example this is what people outside the USA may think and remember certain will always be negative about the USA Most people : are just shocked and concerned as they only see the Trump rhetoric and think he is racist. But basically everything Trump has said or done has been strategic Some people : " This just confirms what white Americans really think, they racist" Now I always correct this view because 11 million white people voted for Trump but there are 200 million white people in the USA ....its unfair attack on white people Muslims in SA : They already think the USA wants to destroy Islam so now they faced with open Islamophobia and realize things can get worse Some White Men in SA : Trump is right .....this is exactly what the USA needs !!! These white people have issues with various minorities and love the fact Trump is able to insult groups they have been forced to recognize ...like women Most women in SA : Just think he is terrible .....terrible Some religious groups in SA : They do think Islam is a religion of violence and is backward so any anti-Muslim rhetoric works Me : Trump represents a low bar for white people. I understand why many white Americans feel the USA under Obama has lost its way, I dont agree with that view but my view is obviously my view, but this blind support for everything Trump says has surprised me. He has said many things that just take white men backwards ....not forwards. For example when did we think its okay to make public and crude personal attacks on women?

Guard Dog Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 OK, I make it a point not to talk about other forum members here (except maybe Volo but he likes it) but I think you guys are a little hard on Bruce here. Yes he does have some opinions that sound like they might be designed to get a rise out of everyone but I believe he really does think that. I think he's being straight with you. Lets face it, there are folks in this world who will tell you grass is red even when you know it's green. Some of them ARE just screwing with you. Others genuinely can't understand why you keep calling that red grass green. I think Bruce is the latter. He sees things how he sees them and if he can't always back up his opinions with logic (referring to the SJW stuff here) at least he can do it with passion. Most of us came by our political philosophies honestly. We lived the lives we lived, learned the lessons we learned and it just grows from that. I figure Bruce is no different than anyone on that count. This board would be dull as hell if we all agreed with each other. We come here and debate with each other because it's fun to do it. Not because we are trying to convince anyone of anything. I'be been posting here for twelve years now (Jesus Christ really?) and I can't really say I've changed anyone's mind about anything, but I did get to find out what other folks think and WHY they think it. I figure that is the best part. 4 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is not aimed at me, I am trying to avoid it as much as I can Edited July 4, 2016 by Chilloutman I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 No not aimed at you or anyone else in particular. Just tamping down the various brush fires and trying to steer back, more into a debate, and less into a venting of spleens.

Meshugger Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 OK, I make it a point not to talk about other forum members here (except maybe Volo but he likes it) but I think you guys are a little hard on Bruce here. Yes he does have some opinions that sound like they might be designed to get a rise out of everyone but I believe he really does think that. I think he's being straight with you. Lets face it, there are folks in this world who will tell you grass is red even when you know it's green. Some of them ARE just screwing with you. Others genuinely can't understand why you keep calling that red grass green. I think Bruce is the latter. He sees things how he sees them and if he can't always back up his opinions with logic (referring to the SJW stuff here) at least he can do it with passion. Most of us came by our political philosophies honestly. We lived the lives we lived, learned the lessons we learned and it just grows from that. I figure Bruce is no different than anyone on that count. This board would be dull as hell if we all agreed with each other. We come here and debate with each other because it's fun to do it. Not because we are trying to convince anyone of anything. I'be been posting here for twelve years now (Jesus Christ really?) and I can't really say I've changed anyone's mind about anything, but I did get to find out what other folks think and WHY they think it. I figure that is the best part. Bull****, you made at least one member (me) more open to gun rights and freedom of speech. I don't know if it helps, but it is something rather than nothing. 1 "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure that is the best part. Thanks GD, those are very kind words Yes, I am often surprised by how people have this negative view of me. I know why some people " dislike " me and its because my view on certain topics I wont comprise on. For example there is a reason the West and places like the USA and the EU are the most successful and progressive places in the world. Its not because " white people run those countries " thats just because of the history of Europe. Its because Western countries have realized certain core values, institutions and policies provide for the best overall systems of governments and lead to there citizens having a good quality of life ...but people like Drowsy or Zora believe that the West are hypocrites and there hegemony is some false reality That doesn't bother me, I have heard the same anti-Western views since 9/11 ...and its all BS and based on hyperbole But the people on this thread who think I'm an idiot or a troll will never explain what they mean or give examples. But end of the day I want to engage with people who want to have a debate ..like you. Its not personal and even though we not agree on certain things I learn things all the time But I really dont have the energy or interest to have a debate with people who feel I am this enigmatic troll But what would be an example of someone assuming I'm trying to get a rise from them, what do I say that creates this view ?

It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
