Trump, please come over and build us a nice big wall... quickly. Our idiotic leaders haven't a clue as to what to do about this invasion

Trump is brilliant with the media jujutsu. He take the attacks of the media and turns that force back against them.

"Jū" can be translated to mean "gentle, soft, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding." "Jutsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique" and represents manipulating the opponent's force against himself rather than confronting it with one's own force."

Either the media heads haven't figured this out, or they are incapable of acting in any other way than they do. If they stuck with objectively reporting the facts, they wouldn't be losing this battle.

The thing about the media is that every single Trump blast causes viewership to soar, thus earning them tons of revenue. So they are torn, do they stick to their liberal bias and not report about Trump while other networks cash in, or do they sell their atheist souls for a few more dollars. And you know liberals, they can't help themselves; it has always been do as I say not as I do with them, anyways.....

I like Bill Maher, but... he bashes conservatives 95% of the time. To him:
Conservatives = Idiots and backward
Liberals = Smart and enlightened

So... here's what I say to Maher 95% of the time.... GFY Bill

Well, there is truth to that. They are more backwards.

I have a poll on my site about the most backwards states, the top ones are red states. For a red state to still have laws on the books against the purchase of sex toys, Alabama, is straight crazy. It's 2016.

The Republicans/Conservatives are the only major group in the world still denying climate change.

It is the anti-Freedom party. The party that fights against personal freedom. Freedom for a woman to decide what she wants to do with her body, Trump recently mentioned wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade. Fight against gay marriage. Fight against legalization of marijuana, etc.

Aren't they the party that also fights against embryonic stem cell research, research that might save lives.

They've been in the pocket of the Religious Right for a long time, people more into belief than science/facts.

It's this type of backwardness that is help taking apart the party right now.

Anti-Science, Anti-Freedom, how long did you think it was going to last? Let me post the Obama quote again:

"Obama then attacked what he said is "anti-intellectualism," saying some have started to think facts and reason are elitist ideals.

"Facts, evidence, reason, logic and understanding of science, those are good things," Obama said. "These are qualities you want in people making policy.

"We traditionally have valued those things, but if you were to listen to today's political debate, you might wonder where this strain of anti-intellectualism came from," Obama said. "So, class of 2016, let me be clear as I can be: In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue. It's not cool to not know what you're talking about."

Trump would rather talk about some bj Bill got back in the day instead of issues. He would rather attack opponents on a personal level, then talk about issues. He's very ignorant and it'll just get exposed more and more.

Put up another dumb candidate like Trump and then later going to wonder why he lost so bad. It's also become a very whiny party. So much crying. Trump says stupid stuff, media reports on it. Blame the media. No personal responsibility?

Will someone please forward this story to the New York Times:

Clinton’s Alleged Ex-Lover: Hillary a ‘Terrorist,’ ‘Sex Addict’ Bill Told Me He Had 2,000 Women
Hillary Clinton is not only an “enabler,” she is a “terrorist” who “terrorizes” her husband’s alleged lovers and women who accuse him of sexual assault, says former Dallas lawyer Dolly Kyle, who says she had a long-running affair with Bill Clinton.

Backwards is a matter of perspective. When shitcreek is the foward direction, the way out is backwards.
It's the inability to distinguish between real progress and imagined progress with disastrous consequences that hampers most politics.

No specifics in there. What are you even talking about. Like, what forward direction was taken, that you thought was shit creek?

Anti-science type people are backwards to me.

Being against research that can save lives is backwards to me.

Having laws against purchase of sex toys is backwards to me.

Trying to fight against people having the right to marry is backwards to me.

People thinking we can go back in time and tell women what they can or can't do with their bodies is backwards to me.

There are actually people in this world that believe dinosaurs never existed or they did but at the same time as humans. These people tend to be found in the Republican Party.

It's a party stuck somewhere in the past. It's why it's dying out. At least Trump was good for something.

Maryland University Holds Lecture on How “White People are a Plague to the Planet”

If the presentation had said black people or Jewish people or Asian people or illegal immigrants or refugees or Muslims or homosexuals or transgenders are “a plague to the planet,” the news would be all over the MSM, with cries of “RACISM!” and “HATE SPEECH!”.

Liberals believe everything an engineer says about climate change.

Bill Nye is not the science guy.

 

[GILSAN]

The famous 2013 Dylan Ratigan rant on TV... like a good film, is allways worth watching every now and then. Trump should hire this guy ASAP.

 

[Domainace]

And you, JB, also lack specifics. All along the lines of "I am against people doing bad things." The specifics aren't worth going over in this forum.

Except for the point about sex toys. I wasn't aware that was part of the Republican platform. Even if it were, though, what kind of person would vote on a country's future based on that bit of trivia?

 

[JB Lions]

Are you equating liberal with somebody that has a brain in their head? Because people with brains in their head understand scientists have a better understanding of this issue than some politician.

If you and I had trouble with our cars that we didn't understand, I'm going to take mine to an auto mechanic, because they're qualified to diagnose and fix the problem. You would take yours to a politician?

Lack specifics? I was just very specific on a handful of issues. Then you follow that up with the specifics aren't worth going over. So which is it? The sex toys, I specifically said Alabama, red state.

Let me ask you. Sex toys. If somebody wants to buy and use them, should the state get in the way? Is it their business? Can you tell me of any harm to society of somebody using some vibrator on themselves? Pretty ridiculous isn't it.

The only lack of specifics was coming from you because you never said what shit creek was.

"When sh*tcreek is the foward direction"

What forward direction are you talking about?

 

[Domainace]

Of course not, but the state gets in the way of all kinds of freedoms, most of them a million times more important than sex toys. That's why I go with the candidate who advocates less state and more freedom. The candidate who wants to bribe the public with sex toys and drugs while he or she strips away our rights to speech, privacy, enterprise and movement is the worst of all options.

Me too, you just made a case against red states, the ones I'm calling backwards. They're the ones that are more about state rights, which is usually them meddling in people's personal affairs. The sex toys was just brought up to show how absolutely ridiculous they can get.

When it comes to social issues, personal freedoms, the Republicans/Conservatives are the ones more against that. They also says they're the ones that are less government, but that's always been a lie. Unless you're talking about letting business run amok, turning people's water into flammables, stuff like that. Then, they're less government.
