I didn’t say it was being denied. I was just bringing new facts on the table that weren’t mentioned. Trump voters are motivated and excited. Who’s excited about Biden? Sanders is courting a voting block that won’t go out and vote.
Bernie could only win if you could vote on Twitter. They aren’t going to the polls.
If I were the democrats would push Tulsi. She is the best candidate by a mile.
You got a really old commie in poor health. A forgetful fogey who doesn’t know where he is or what he’s running for 38 year old Tulsi who is pretty and actually smart. The media tore her apart for no reason. “She’s a Russian asset” says Hillary. I think the old hag maybe losing it. She sees Russians everywhere.
I would not mind having a president I wouldn’t mind banging…
True but in our current system (again overwhelmingly on the whole) people will only accept a Republican or a Democrat. A binary choice. More parties that are viable would mean more options.
The fall of the USSR was one of the most amazing events in history. It just imploded all of the sudden. After all the cold war stuff, the biggest and most dangerous empire the U.S. ever had to face, just went away with nary a drop of blood spillt. Amazing.
Should be an even matchup then against Trump. A skinny older gentlemen with dementia meets a youthful obese makeup fan who also has dementia. Dementia bowl 2020!
I’ve said it before if Trump was your own father, grandpa, uncle you would have sent him for treatment a long time ago.
“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”
You were swayed by those adverts. You pretty much copy and paste them here.
She would most likely get my vote.
We ran a proxy war against them in the graveyard of empires using the taliban to drain them of blood, treasure, human capital, and create economic hardship.
Which sounds incredibly familiar. What is that old saying about history? Something about it repeating itself?
What are you talking about? China still exists.
Afganistan isn’t what killed them. If they weren’t collapsing they could have easily kept figgting that war for a long time.
Two events historians have cradited with the fall.
Star Wars. The Soviets thought that SDI was real and spent a fortune in espionage and R and D for their own version and they couldn’t figure it out because it was a very effective ruse. Second, Chernobyl, it finished off the coffers of the Soviet state. They went broke and couldn’t pay for even basic resources. Prior to the collapse things got bad then the satellite countries broke off and they couldn’t do anything about it. Shortly there after, they collapsed… It was amazing.
I’m aware. I was in high school at the time.
A friend of mine was stationed in West Germany at the time when the wall came down.
That was mainly in response to “not a drop of blood spilled.”.
There was A Lot of blood spilled, and it’s a ridiculous oversight for us or any historians to glance past that as a wound that weakened the USSR.
“Not a drop of blood spilled” is a reference to military action that never had to happen. I am well aware of the bloody history of the USSR. the collapse was internal. No bullet was fired, no missile shot, to end the threat of the Soviet union.
Yes, many people died at the hands of the Soviets. The West did not have to go into battle to end the country. That’s what I mean.
“What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
We definitely see these things and weigh their importance differently! 
Maybe, but what can we do to understand the facts as they are and not what they seem to be? I am interested more and more in naked truth, come what may. So if I am mistaken on the facts feel free to correct me.
I think that looking at them in the form of a time line would help.
Chernobyl happened, no doubt. And it certainly was bad. But resource and impact wise is a drop in the bucket. Maybe the last drop, but only a drop.
The SDI ruse was also a hardship due to a misallocation of resources and priority, but their industrial infrastructure was already in shambles.
Because:
10 year long proxy war.
What day is it?
October?
It’s nudie magazine day!!!
Asscrakistan didn’t help, but SDI and mainly Chernobyl murdered the economy. Chernobyl was an unmittigated disaster and the Soviets could not have done a worse job managing it.
It was amatuer night and many, many people who are heroes, really, paid with their lives.
I think Biden smells blood and is ready to pounce. He knows that part of Trump’s appeal was how he eschewed so many political norms and clapped back at his critics.
Biden is eager to show voters that he’ll stand up to Donald Trump the same way he stood up to Corn Pop and his gang. His message is clear and classic: Biden is a straight-shooting moderate who is going to stand up for the little guy, even if it means standing up to a little guy. Not everyone’s cut from the same cloth as Joe Biden, and not everyone has an armed security detail behind them to make sure they can say whatever they want without repercussion.
Biden is cut from the same cloth as Joe Biden, and he has that armed security detail. That’s why he’s the front runner right now.
Normally your anti Biden sarcasm is more on point. This one is just poking at Biden for having a security detail like every other high level pol about a guy who thought he’d be cool by challenging Biden in front of his co-workers
Roll tape…
Biden likes to get aggressive with constituents when they ask him anything.
And it’s captioned as inaudible, but I heard “I don’t work for you” as he was moving up on the guy. But as president, he kinda does “work for us”.
Anybody else anywhere else and that would have been throwing blows. Biden doesn’t like the wee people getting lippy. Especially not some damn dog faced pony soldier.
