Even stupider than the fact that you think a clip from a TV show proves your point is the fact that you think Trump isn't going to make all of those things worse.




PeonForHer -> RE: MAGA! (2/25/2017 2:07:34 AM)

Trump is the culmination of everything Jeff Daniels said in that speech, all rolled into one large, ludicrously coiffured, bloviating tangerine blob.

you mean the alt-left, he was not talking about anything trump has done, he was talkinhg about state of affairs before trump was elected.




Milesnmiles -> RE: MAGA! (2/26/2017 10:31:49 AM)

I have come to realize that anyone who uses the phrase "alt-leftards" is a victim Trump brain freeze and will not come to their senses until Trump makes the US a third world country and even then they will probably think Trump is still just trying to making America great again and so there is no use even trying to reason with them.
;-)




ManOeuvre -> RE: MAGA! (2/26/2017 10:35:10 AM)

Thanks for pointing that out, Miles... and in such terms as to make the counterpoint for your opponents.

And has deteriorated under Il Douche.

So you think the 1st Trump term will be as if there was a 3rd Obama term.




mnottertail -> RE: MAGA! (2/26/2017 7:39:12 PM)

I expect Il Douche will not have a 1st term.

Krav!!!

I expect Il Douche will not have a 1st term.

Perhaps when his name is put in the history books there will be an asterisk next to it kinda like sports figures who got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Thus far it's coming across more as Nixon's third term, only crappier and stupider.

That's a really good clip, Real0ne. Seriously. Thank you for posting it.

Gonna share the "it could be" portion, although as a liberal, I totally agree with his takedown of both liberals and conservatives.

"It sure used to be. We stood up for what is right... We fought for moral reasons... we passed laws/struck down laws for moral reasons... we waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chests. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, we explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars. Acted like men. We aspired to intelligence, we didn't belittle it, it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identity ourselves by who we voted for in the last election and e didn't scare so easy. Huh. We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed... by great men, men who were revered. The first step in solving a problem is admitting that there is one. America is not the greatest country in the world any more."


I need to stop talking about this stuff. I need to go write, go do something, because this forum goes nowhere towards fixing any of this. This is masturbation. We look for allies and smug confirmation of our own righteousness and we never do anything to fix the divide, and this forum itself is designed to make that the least likely option. And if you try, someone will sabotage it. Always. We are never getting anywhere, participating in a forum like this. Whether you are on the left or the right, if you read this and judge the other side as the whole of the problem, you are letting the potential for improving life in America get away from you. Neither side wants to be scolded. Neither side thinks they are wrong.

tl;dr: It's not you, it's me. I'm the problem.

This is supposed to be a place to have a little lighthearted fun, you are taking it and yourself way too seriously. A bit of hardball goes on but thats the nature of man. If you don't enjoy the conversation, you can't handle it then I will be the last person to ask you to say, as you rarely actually contribute




WhoreMods -> RE: MAGA! (2/27/2017 9:35:53 AM)

If you put "krav" in front of that, you get the mysterious zionist martial art that is used to intimidate gentiles the world over.

Most of the reasons he gives in that video for America being crap are due to the fact that America doesn't actually have a true left.

Canada and most of Europe have a true left, the US has a right-wing party and another right wing party that contains factions that are identical to the right wing party, insane, and/or openly fascist. The liberals in the US support the less objectionable right wing party because there's no alternative.

He wasn't calling for Trumpian racist isolationist populism, he was calling for something more in line with the 'people over profit' models of America's post-WWII golden age and the social democracies of Europe and proto-social democracies like Canada.

Aaron Sorkin, the writer, is a die-hard liberal.

You need to look up the word 'culmination', RO.

I did karate for a couple of years at uni. I'm not sure I could still do the essential moves now, though, without doing myself a mischief. Walking around like a crab doesn't look cool, either.

However, having watched multiple videos of Krav Maga demos, I've often though, 'Wow!. Nasty vicious fighting techniques, without any requirement to be fit! Jolly agreeable!'

Even in my twilight years, with Krav Maga skills behind me, I'll still be able to beat up kindly little old ladies and decorated WW2 veterans - as well as help defend any given ISIS terrorist ... as any true Socialist is expected to do on a daily basis these days.




MrRodgers -> RE: MAGA! (2/27/2017 2:28:00 PM)

It's very easy to have a real problem with the left and the right of today.

The difference is in the policies that have created the feeling and the fact, that things have gotten worse and almost entirely because of the lack of real conservatism from the right and so-called conservatives in office for the last 40 years.

However, any video showing us how and why rhetoric and demagoguery works, merely serves as primer for the next demagogue to try it and means nothing truly probative and is otherwise no more than just another version of spin.

OK, so maybe this is how Trump got elected but as likely proves that and what many (conservatives) friends keep telling me, 95% of those who listen and vote on that...are fucking morons and why ? For believing it and need to so badly, they'll put up with a shallow, narcissistic, autocrat-loving impostor as Trump is proving himself to be, and merely to continue as long as they can to feel good about their choice.

So RO feels good about his choice...still.

Maybe this points out that there is no real left and that doesn't matter for the moderate or independent. What matters is policy and if one looks back, Trump said he would run, if he did, as a republican...because they are the dumbest of all voters almost always voting against their own interest.

I think that's the whole point of the technique, d00d: it's more about hurting the other guy (or whoever) as badly as possible as fast as possible than a formalised display. It's more akin to that frightening business the soviet union used to teach their special forces than a martial art from most accounts.
