Progressives, part 3...

LOL

Ohh that's my bad then. The article I read mentioned prototype instead of already manufactured shoes. Ok then.

You have to give Kaep some credit. For being such a shitty QB he has found a way to make his name come thru the news cycle every 4-6 months.   At least there will probably be more kids googling to find out who Betsy Ross is. 

Anyone see the elected house rep from Florida say today that people who mock Congress online should be prosecuted? Nbd... and yes it’s the dumbass lady who wears cowboy hats and sequin jackets.

I'm sure that, if we dig into her history, we would never find any such statements.

Hell, didn't she have a public feud with the president in which she called him more than a couple names?

To be fair, Trump has given the green light on outrageous talk.

He really has

Didn't she get into a "battle" with Trump about a year ago?  I think it was over gold star spouses. She's an idiot.  

When people act shocked that someone like Trump could be POTUS, remember to remind them this country has been electing fucking morons (we could easily start a list) at all levels for the last 20-30 years.  It was only a matter of time, before one of these morons made it to the White House.

Sure, but if you're going to participate in it, maybe don't say citizens should be prosecuted for it.

Well, when you have like 90% of the media to carry your water, you don't want those pesky conservatives running around refuting your narrative on Twitter and Facebook.  Liberals truly do seem to be terrified of debate.

The current crop in office, anyway, yeah.  A particularly clear example have been the recent "debates," which have mostly just been a competition over who can offer the biggest package of promised free shit and skilled virtue signaling.

And dismiss anyone who disagrees with them as being pro-discrimination.  If you don't accept that women make 77% of what men do, then you're sexist.

I can agree with that.

One of the better things about being an American is that we are guaranteed the right to mock our government.

The left is going full retard about this parade tomorrow.  Jesus they are sad.

I never said dems were better didn’t say they didn’t have problematic supporters. I have said many times at this point I won’t be voting. The dem candidates are a joke. I don’t think it is the “reason” he won. But the strategy that he’s using to go against the establishment and “make America great again” the whole slogan is offensive to me and  really doesn’t make the black vote necessary for him to win and I don’t think he cares. Those ideologies also fit right in line with those who would never say the n word but will go in every comment section and say “thugs” or “animals” as referring to black people. It’s a definite “rebranding” I talked to my co worker who is a proud boy and he was explaining that well the ok sign is not really a white power sign but we just do it to troll because people think it is. I guess I just don’t get it. I’m not a white supremest but I just pretend to be one on the weekends? We had to agree to disagree. To me pretending to be white supremest is just semant

Trump won because of the millions of people in the Midwest who were fed up with being economically raped for 2 ½ decades while the DC establishment did nothing about it. PERIOD; END OF STORY.  Get the hell over it, and get the hell used to it, because he is going to get reelected.

I don't disagree with the cause of Trump's win.  I do find your 2-1/2 decades to be disingenuous.  Curiously that dates to the beginning of Clinton's term.  The decline of midwest manufacturing started long before that.  And it actually accelerated in the 1970's and 1980's.  It happened under a lot of watches including Ronald Reagan.

Well, it's a parade for Magatards.  Literally - I don't think Dems were given tickets or allowed to invite anyone!

Although, it would be kind of cool to see some tanks in a parade....aside from how unsettling an image that might be, tanks are awesome!

Anyone can attend.  From what I understand the tickets are for the VIP section.  If true it would be a dick move to not offer some the to Dems.  That said given the narrative the Dems are humping for this event I doubt any of them would want to be seen in the VIP section.

It is not a parade. The DOD did a good job at stopping the tanks from rolling down the road, which would fuck up the road. Instead, they will be on the back of trailers as props for the President. It is just speech and flyovers that is happening. The fireworks are after, but either before or after the major fireworks. 

But, yeah, the fact the tanks are here and the fact it is only for RNC and donors is what is ticking people off. Also, the fact the President may use the military as a prop is a fear. He may make it about himself, which we all know is possible.

I think the tanks are parked.  No goose stepping troops turning their heads quickly to the side as they pass the dear leader.  Fly overs of our air power are quite common in our country.  Its really quite cool to see and sometimes I get goosebumps.  I personally am not unsettled by a parked tank.
