trump approval is a real rubicon for intelligence.
What is it about his trump approval that is out of character for the rest of the presentation?
Savage is a fear mongering, lying, extremist piece of shit. I don’t give a fuck what degrees he has or doesn’t have.
Besides, so what if he has fancy degrees in plant science of all things? I’m not impressed.
Uh huh. Meaning we took their “fuck your feelings” and gave it right back to the fuckers.
Social cohesion. WTF is that anyway.
Yeah. What IS that.
and here… we… go…
That tired ass “both sides” shit.
Bullshit.
I don’t trust liars and crooks and flag waving traitors. I don’t trust the far “alt” right (nazis). I don’t honor people who piss on me and tell me it’s raining. And I don’t see strength in an administration of back biters, bullies, liars, cowards, thieves, and draft dodging war mongers.
Remember when America had social cohesion of community? Collective Farm of Pepperidge is remembering!
As a Mets fan, I concur.
It’s a corrupt and antiAmerican power grab. It’s gotten BAD when they don’t even bother to hide it anymore.
Uh huh. Many (most???) of the worst and most horrifying persecutions were committed BY the Church.
And that fairy tale about total and constant persecution in Rome forcing them to hid in Catacombs??? Pure bullshit. “Pagan” Rome by and large didn’t give a damn what god or gods you prayed to.
… member berries …
well what do you expect when the people who support our President think it’s okay to advocate for the murder of their fellow citizens for the heinous crime of having a different political viewpoint?
“Social cohesion of community” is when one segment of the community gets to dominate the others. And when they can’t dominate them, the feel that the bond of honor, trust, strength, faith is broken.
The people who bemoan the lack of a bond of honor, trust, strength, faith are threatening violence against anyone who defeats them in election.
There probably is such a thing, as in, say, if most of the neighbors will turn out to help clean up after the fire and put the burned-out up for a while, without stopping to ask whether the people who had the fire are of their religion, group heritage, or political opinions. (And in that sense, at any given time some neighborhoods have it, others don’t; and the country as a whole has never either been perfect about it, or lacked it entirely; though the overall balance does vary from time to time.)
But what most people seem to mean by a lack of social cohesion is ‘I’ve discovered that a lot of people disagree with me and they keep saying so out loud!’
Race has nothing to do with this. Stop projecting, because race has nothing to do with my point about social cohesion and valor.
What Savage has a point on is that people don’t have respect for people who put their life on the line for America. They don’t have to serve in America’s wars. But they get dragged on and disrespected, and it usually comes from the left of the political spectrum than the right or center. That is what I can say. And I am a middle of the roader.
He is not the only president or party that does that. The Democratic Party isn’t saints of any measure. Reagan, Bushes and their supporters all got threats and so for being a member of their respective parties.
Let’s remember, before September 11, 2001, in the summer of 2001, Bush was called every name in the book.
Let’s not go there.
Trump and the Right has been deporting active duty soldiers that were promised citizenship in exchange for service. He just pardoned a war criminal who had every single member of his unit testify against him and now wants him at his campaign rallies. This idea that the left doesn’t support the military and the right does is complete bullshit. You should be ashamed for spreading it.
Nonsense. The real disrespect for the military these days is coming from the right wing, especially its highest echelons, where military disciplinary measures for war criminals are disregarded, military advisors to the administration (as well as any other military people who say anything the administration doesn’t want to hear) get publicly insulted and/or fired, and stupid-ass foreign “policy” ideas are acted upon with complete indifference to military objectives and priorities. And conservative supporters of the administration eagerly lap it all up.
Oh, and there’s also that business of ignoring and denying climate change, a grave threat that the military is taking very seriously with very little support from the right-wing grifters and ignoramuses who try to pretend the whole phenomenon is some kind of liberal hoax.
Your ideas, and the 77-year-old Michael Savage’s ideas, about left-wing “disrespect” for American servicepeople are antiquated anachronisms handed down from fifty-year-old stereotypes of long-haired hippies spitting at Vietnam vets. The people who are genuinely “dragging on” the military are the conservative ideologues who interfere with the military doing their jobs and then accuse them of being “Deep State” traitors when they complain.
The idea that Michael Savage can support Trump while simultaneously whining that America is not being sufficiently appreciative of “people who put their life on the line” for her merely showcases once again Savage’s spectacular levels of hypocrisy. Or perhaps just plain stupidity, but no, you claim he’s a very intelligent person so I guess that can’t be it. :rolleyes:
ETA: ninja’d by Airbeck but consider it supplementary corroboration.
