Danimal Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Out of the celebs that get brought-up Cuban intrigues me because ideologically he doesn't toe the line of either major party, he's an independent and would run as such. This broken two-party system needs challenging. another ideologue pimping the party platform is not the answer. That said, the guy backed-out when the nation reenacted South Park's Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwich episode, if he didn't run then I doubt he will in 2020. Link to comment

The Democrat Utopia http://www.dailywire.com/news/19694/5-ways-socialism-itself-turned-venezuela-trash-michael-qazvini There is a reason why it seems one-sided, it didn't use to be that way.

I'm not sure which posters you're referring to, but I know why a lot of "conservatives" left. Most of them would be combative, post a lot of talking points with no data to back them up, and would eventually add nothing to the conversation so people began ignoring them, or they were banned. BigRedBuster and TGhusker are two "conservative" voices that appear in almost every thread. Knapp is also a voice of reason that brings a lot of "leftist" hyperbole back to center. There are more, I'm sure. 3 Link to comment

Who decides what post has value, you? and about facts.. who's facts? Facts from liberal sites or is it just facts from conservative sites like Fox? I won't comment on another posters claims to be conservative or not. EDIT: Would combative be claiming this? To me it is.. Quote Pretty clear you don't have the confidence in your views to be able to defend them. EDIT: is it combative to call anyone who backs Trump a racist? I can dig that post up if you would like..

funhusker Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) "Memes" and GIF's are nothing. That is why, even in the Football Forum, threads will get locked up after being "GIF Bombed". Edited January 15, 2018 by funhusker Link to comment

zoogs Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Zero mistake on Trump's part. He intended the term, he intends its meaning, and it's his thoroughly racist mind and racist policy that is the problem, not his crude choice of language. I don't know if everyone who backs Trump is racist. I wonder what it would take to be outside of that framework, truly, and still support the man. For the rest, they'd have to be pretty OK with the racist policy and intentions of the GOP. What could make them that way, if not racism? There's vanishing distinctions, if any. Relatedly, how on earth do you ignore a user? I can't find a link to do that either in the thread or on their profile page. I don't remember it being this hard! Link to comment

I really can't take this guy Chuck Woolery seriously with how dismissively he talked about Hollywood and congress dressing in black. That is about another issue entirely and an issue that frankly has needed to be dealt with for a long time. To me, it says alot about his character to find standing against rape culture outrageous. 1 Link to comment

Hey....maybe it was a mistake for the President to use the term then???? I 100% agree. it was absolutely stupid.. no ignorant for him to use that term, especially in the company he was in. My point was, democrats/liberals, especially democratic/liberal media, are all about controversy Edited January 15, 2018 by Bornhusker 1 Link to comment
