weasel words

@The Yellow King that was post RNC giving up. They had already lost their candidates, and the Never Trumpers were set in their ways.
As for Bernie, anyone who owns or wishes to run a business and has a good head on their shoulders would vote against him. Neolibs would have to pinch their noses and go with Trump or risk getting dicked over by a guy who thinks businesses should fail before paying less in employee benefits. Dude got rocked by Ted Cruz and a random crowd member. He would have been destroyed lol

The second paragraph is pretty much what ive heard most die hard trumpers complain about whenever the media talks about turmp

2019-01-23 23:00:26 UTC  

though the second to last sentence is reverseed

2019-01-23 23:01:36 UTC  

Normally the right would say that the journalists are trying to make this a major issue

2019-01-23 23:02:02 UTC  

But apparently in this case he thinks is the opposite, that the media is trying to downplay the issue

dont build your dreams that depend on other people until you can build other people that you can depend on

the one conservative blog i like to go to for their perspective is not happy with national review

2019-01-24 21:44:19 UTC  

Is that the NeverTrumper or was that Weekly Standard

2019-01-24 21:44:29 UTC  

the blog?

2019-01-24 21:44:34 UTC  

the blog is Ace of Spades

2019-01-24 21:45:11 UTC  

I mean National Review

2019-01-24 21:45:33 UTC  

I don't know

2019-01-24 21:45:54 UTC  

Considering the grudge Ace has with them, they might have been Never Trumpers

2019-01-24 22:40:39 UTC  

National Review has a mix at this point. You're probably thinking of Weekly Standard, which was Bill Kristol's magazine and is now dead.

2019-01-24 22:42:42 UTC  

Anyways, the article I posted was positing the reason that the Covington story got as far as it did was a lack of ideological balance in the newsrooms.

2019-01-24 22:43:11 UTC  

I don't think it's a solution on it's own (since the balance of power tends to not be done too well), but it's an interesting point.

2019-01-24 23:09:30 UTC  

@mikeflarkin If the election was today, who would you vote for?

2019-01-24 23:09:37 UTC  

or would you still not vote?

2019-01-24 23:09:46 UTC  

Trump, in a heartbeat.

2019-01-24 23:09:51 UTC  

Cool

2019-01-24 23:10:39 UTC  

I voted for Trump because I figured even if he wouldn't or couldn't get it done, at least he was talking about the things we wanted like the wall and ending the shitty trade deals.

Re: Tim's video title question: I don't see any reason why, should a draft exist, anyone of fighting age without a disqualifying physical or mental disability should be excluded. Given that the military has a plethora of positions to fill, not all of them direct combat roles, what's the excuse?

2019-01-25 02:30:26 UTC  

The draft should not exist.

2019-01-25 02:31:43 UTC  

Being an involuntary memeber of the armed forces should be a disqualifying mental disability.

2019-01-25 02:36:06 UTC  

I would agree that a draft should not exist, I'm just asking for consistency

2019-01-25 03:38:02 UTC  

Its ok to be an Individual

2019-01-25 03:38:10 UTC  

nein

2019-01-25 03:38:15 UTC  

Group identity gang

2019-01-25 03:38:33 UTC  

Its great being Me

2019-01-25 04:31:41 UTC  

It is the right of the state to mobilize the individuals within it for defense and the good of the nation.

2019-01-25 04:35:27 UTC  

Truth.

2019-01-25 04:35:37 UTC  

And hey, They fucking wanted equality.

2019-01-25 04:35:42 UTC  

Give it to em.

2019-01-25 04:36:09 UTC  

My great grandfather was a WWII Vet.

2019-01-25 04:36:24 UTC  

Farmer turned into draftee.

2019-01-25 05:02:08 UTC  

>right of the state

2019-01-25 05:02:18 UTC  

I could literally use that for everything else

2019-01-25 05:02:30 UTC  

I just realized something. Didn't Obama cause a shutdown to get funding for Obamacare?

2019-01-25 05:10:53 UTC  

But yeah, I agree that there should never be a Draft.
