Lol CNN defending chanting “death to America” to own the cons. Has any “news” channel ruined their reputation more than them?

Sorry guy - didn't really seem to me they were "defending" the phrase "death to America." 

In reality that was pretty interesting news reporting on a complex situation from on the ground sourcing that shows the value of having overseas bureaus but has an incredibly stupid click bait title that makes people say "ZOMG YOU SEE CNN DEFENDJNG DIS!!" without even reading the article.

We will be sharing a laugh of about how the bond market continues to prove Gut wrong year after year after year.

Might want to read that again when you're not drunk posting in the wee hours of a Sunday morning there buddy. Never said anything about buying bonds or returns. I was simply pointing out that while you predict disasters from deficits year after year the free bond markets disagree with you. 

P.S. nothing says winning like ranting about another guy's kids on a sparsely visited web forum when you're drunk and alone on a beautiful summer evening.

I am guessing you didn't read this article.  It is actually a piece about how average Iranians think well of the American people.

I did read it. The article was actual decent aside from trying to say that "Death to America" only means the government and that they actually like our people, which is a dumbass take. Call the article "How Irans view Americans" and don't talk about chanting death to america. Click Baity shit ruins the point.

I really, really wish that the gun-grabbers would get it through their thick skulls that guns are not going to go away. Really sick of every murder/mass shooting being turned into a national political event. There are now headlines blaming it on white supremacy, patriarchy, toxic masculinity, right wingers, etc. It's fucking awful.

Figure out how to make existing laws actually work or get rid of them if they cannot be functional or feasible. Face reality and not ideology. There are people who are fucking nuts everywhere. Unless you lock them up forever or put them down like you would a mad dog, there will be crazy people who have the potential to do this.

Well ... I did see a lot of that happening.  More than one even went so far as to say that our immigration policy killed that girl.

While I simply loathe the idea of blaming other people for one person's actions, I'm not sure there isn't at least something to a cultural link between violence and masculinity.

After all, the vastly overwhelming majority of teens who commit acts of violence at this level are boys.

Now, that neither explicitly or implicitly points to a solution.  Just merely an observation.

All true, but a large percentage of violent criminals were raised by one parent, overwhelmingly a woman.

Let's take a moment to shake our heads at the role the Democrats and "the left" of our country treating John McCain, George W. Bush & Mitt Romney like "literally Hitler" played in giving us Donald Trump.

Among all of the kind words for McCain I'd like to see some of these people who gave him the trump treatment when he was the top dawg have a mea culpa (will,blnever happen). 

And although he doesn't post here anymore - I do think,somethong like that was HitsRus' basic point in starting the original thread.

Perhaps (I haven't seen the data on that).  I don't know whether or not an example of toxic masculinity (whatever that might actually mean) is necessary to perpetuate it.  Perhaps the absence of a masculine authority at all is sufficient.  Who knows?

It feels like a "don't know what you've got until it's gone" moment in politics.  Politicians and politically-minded citizens on opposite sides of the aisle of the day used to be able to sit in a room and be cordial with each other.  They saw each other as "wrong" or, at worst, "dumb."  They didn't have to see each other as "evil."
