It Seems Bill Maher Was Right Again

Victor Davis Hanson? Who isn't a liberal or a cal-exit supporter?

Okay, so it was Shankar .

RE: It Seems Bill Maher Was Right Again

It's hard to be wrong when speaking ill of the republicans, Min.


The question is are the democrats willing to subordinate everything to the goal of the destruction of the political power of the republican base, or will it remain a herd of self-righteous cats more interesting in asserting to themselves they are individually right, rather than a group dedicated to the defeat of the overarching wrong before their eyes.

You mean like they did when they elected Obama ( a black guy!) twice?

They need a leader who excites them.  Hillary was more or less "anointed" in 2016.  Her only competition came from an old socialist who is not even a democrat and that was closer than it should have been.  For reference, Gore was more or less "anointed" too.  And he lost to the second biggest fucking moron to ever sit in the White House.  See a pattern?

Let's see what emerges from the primaries.

My best friend's family always votes Democrat, but they are extremely racist. They basically disowned her during the couple of years when she was dating a black guy.

 More bullshit fallacy of equivocation. Can democrats be racist? Yes, but we are not talking about that, the averages of racists are in the GOP by a far bigger number. 

None of that in any case has anything to do with keeping statues of men who fought to keep slavery.

All she said was she knows a family of democrats that are racist, I don't see where an equivocation fallacy occurred. Also she didn't disagree with the OP, she just pointed out something she was aware of.

I'm waiting for them to take Robert Byrd's name off from EVERYTHING in West Virginia, if that helps.

CORRECTION:


"Twitchy" meth head on Tucker Carlson was Zac Petkanas. And I don't know for sure he's a meth head, but even Tucker mentioned it as a possibility during interview.

Also, I don't have DVR recording anymore, but it's possible Petkanas also or was the one I saw interviewed about Cal-Exit.


So, I have munged up everything in this topic up to here, so disregard.


Shit, I turn 60 in less than a month and I'm already needing a drool cup . . .


And it gets worse:

vehicle insurance lady indicated earlier this year a defensive driving class would look good to insurance company in view of my age. The GALL !!

Anyhow, took the damn course. She didn't say it was 4 HOURS LONG !!!

And there were no driver ed videos where a carload of people are rent limb from limb as a drunk truck driver runs over their rusted out classic VW Beetle either. It was all trendy graphics, keywords and acronyms, and a 10 question test !!

(I aced it, BTW)

But that's 4 hours I will never get back, and I think despite the lack of gore, being exposed to the rest of the people there is going to give me PTSD.

Edit: Saw your retraction. Disregard.

A few years back he noted:  "Not every republican is a racist but, if you are a racist, you are most likely a republican."

It was the same over here with Brexit, not all brexiteers were racists but all racists were brexiteers. My wifes uncle was here with his wife and said "we voted brexit because we want the foreigners out" They expected support, they did not get it.
One unintended side benefit of all this is that it is flushing these vermin into the light.

The majority of GOP being 67% still means 33% don't add that to swing voters, and the majority of Democrats who don't he is still outnumbered. I doubt most moderate sing voters support his response. Add that to the 33% that outweighs his Nazi KKK base whom he just alienated by ditching Bannon.
