posted by like_thatAnother great deflection. People blindly vote for the DNC, and this guy is making major decisions for the DNC. I don't see how you can't comprehend this.
People vote blindly for both parties. None of those voters think or care about the actions of elected leaders. Dennis Haster is a pedophile. Does that mean republican voters condoned that crime just because he had been speaker of the house? Of course not. This guy is holding up a book, who cares?
posted by like_thatThis is the dumbest shit you have posted. You are comparing the deputy chair to the DNC to a fuck head neo nazi who happens to be shifting his support to DNC candidates fyi.
One guy isn't running a party, the other is. Pretty big difference when you have a bunch of people blindly voting for the two major parties in this country. This post is in the early running for worst deflection of the year.
Good, I'm glad my post has made it into the contest.
Richard Spencer does not, and never has, spoken for republicans at large. Nor is he an official elected into office in service of the public.
Keith Ellison is, as has been said already the Deputy Chair of the Democratic Party. He's also a congressman. He is an official that was elected into office to serve the public.
The comparison that you are trying to make, Boogie, is nonexistent. They have in common the fact that they both have first and last names. That's it.
Please, if you are going to defend any democrat, the DNC or any member of congress, do something better than throwing up RichardFuckingSpencer as a comparison.
Yeah, there are a lot of better comparisons if you want to point out wacky, stupid R-tards to offset the wacky, stupid libtards this site loves to focus upon. With your Lindsay Grahams, who HATED Trump until he got into power and then quickly turned into a comically over-the-top asskisser (including chiding someone for using a term --- jackass, maybe -- in regards to Trump that he personally used during primary season) or your Chris Christies, who spent the majority of Trump's candidacy hilariously begging for some sort of scrap at the dinner table and (for Like That and others) is a notable bandwagon sports fan. Sessions is ALWAYS a good choice, as is Ted Cruz; or you can go for the lowest-hanging fruit like Pedo Roy or Ohio's own Anti-Ghey Ghey Goodman.
A lot of easy choices that are superior to some random wingnut who's basically QQ with a higher degree of public visibility.

I already said both parties have people voting for them blindly. Please keep up. Your deflection was no better than CC or QO deflecting with Clinton/Obama every other post.

Again, I said both parties have their blind voters. I haven't been one to deny the GOP has gone full retard. The MSM has done a fine job exposing the hypocrisy that comes from them for the last 8+ years. The difference is the DNC still pretends to be the moral authority (despite countless recards of being scumbags) and their party leader is blatantly showing his support for a piece of shit organization. I could be wrong, but none of the people you listed are tweeting images of themselves holding a facist book (the irony is ANTIA is facist) stating this is the book that should strike fear in the heart of liberals.
posted by gutPretty much nobody had hear of Richard Spencer and the "alt-right" prior to August 2016 when the Democratic cabal got together and decided to paint Trump as a white supremacist.
The mainstream liberal media has been exposed as just a left-wing version of Breitbart. Sad!
And they have been covering Richard Spencer less and less when it is becomming clear that his stance on a lot of issues match socialist bernie more than it does any republican in office. As soon as he started showing support for Tulsi, his coverage started to drop immediately.

I actually remember when Gabbard did that and didn't think it was anything of significance. And maybe at that time it wasn't. But as you've said in regards to Spencer, it sure has significance now lol!
Just a reminder for you all 😂

And it looks like AG Sessions just told her where she can stick that idea.
But, you know, the remarkable thing about Trump......He hired Flynn. He hired Manafort. He hired Bannon.
Everyone else who was anyone apparently knew these guys had all kinds of baggage and problems. Even if it was something you could possibly look past, they didn't have the qualifications to get that benefit. Trump hired him.
The only thing funnier than this whole Bannon tift is watching the left and the right flip on Bannon based on how whatever he says aligns with their views. My god this country is just filled with so many idiots.
posted by gutArticle in the WSJ how only 4 large developed countries have a higher debt burden than the US - Portugal, Italy, Greece and Japan.
Those economies are all doing gangbusters, so I'm sure more debt bodes well for the US!
Portugal, Italy and Greece all owe their debts in a currency they don’t control.
Japan owes it’s debts in its own currency and has turned things around since the start of Abenomics which showed rooseveltian resolve for higher inflation through fiscal and monetary stimulus despite large public treasury supplies.
What’s the result? 2.7% unemployment and rising GDP even in the face of an aging population and strict controls on immigration.
Not hard to see why Abe has easily won re-election twice since 2012.
Thankfully we have Republicans in the U.S. who ignore the deficit and don’t appoint people to the Fed who raise rates rapidly when they have power rather than following your preferred policies which would not Make America Great Again!
posted by gutLOL, that's the hard part of the comparison vs. Obama - what is the proper "fair" amount of negative coverage?
But anything remotely close to 90% is clearly agenda-driven and focused mainly on non-policy. If you were to focus purely on policy - which is what we generally would expect from news - then maybe it should be about 30-40% positive or negative, and about 20-30% neutral. Coincidentally, Fox's coverage of Obama is pretty close to those numbers.
So I'd agree Trump drives a lot of non-policy coverage of himself, and much of that is justifiably negative. That's probably how you get an otherwise balanced coverage at Fox up to 52% negative. But looking at coverage on MSNBC or CNN, it's just completely unhinged libtardism.
What kills me is that while CNN and MSNBC are unhinged libtardism, you actually seem to think Fox is balanced. CNN and MSNBC took the playbook from Fox when Fox killed them in the ratings!

They've had some of the same complaints in NYC.
Who runs these cities? >.>
Pretty sure read that New York had its lowest murder rate since the 50’s in 2017?
posted by CenterBHSFanOk, in case I had any ideas left in my brain that the democrats were halfway decent...
Almost as dumb of a use of social media by a party leader as tweeting that your nuclear button is bigger than North Korea’s.
I guess you’re out of parties to vote for, eh’?

Nope could have voted libertarian. Spin zone for Gary Johnson and Aleppo is the fact he couldn’t drone them since he doesn’t know where it is.

No, Fox is not good. It IS better, much better, than CNN or MSNBC. Like I said, Fox has been more negative on Trump than it was on Obama...chew on that one.
You simply can't defend 90% negative coverage, coverage almost exclusively focused on personal bullshit instead of, you know, actual policy. That's not even trying to pretend to be balanced, or rational.

I'm not going to disagree that all of these news organizations are terrible. They're ultimately after ratings, so that will drive content. I do think trying to measure negativity is a fool's errand though. That is a subjective evaluation - what's negative to one person may not be to another.

Japan
LMFAO at this entire post, and then looking at a recovery from the 2009 recession - to levels just barely above the mid-90's to claim Japan has been doing well under Abenomics. Hint: that's not growth.
I'd ask, again, what the hell you actually read but it pretty clearly doesn't matter. Of course, I know you love that European-style sub 2% growth....you probably think that's "goldilocks". Japan has been searching, unsuccessfully, for a solution for 2+ decades - massive deficit spending has not created growth.

If the prez recieved any semblance of balanced coverage by the media, he would not need twitter. But being able to 'speak' directly to the idiot in charge of NK and make your point is not necessarily a bad thing.
