  1. Brother, your experience is most certainly an outlier among the American populace. I'm not sure how you can't see that. You grew up with very privileged in a way the vast majority of Americans do not. Period. I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all, mind you, you should feel very fortunate to have experience such a broad array of people from various cultures from a young age. I'm not telling you that YOU are scared of Muslims, I'm telling you that a majority of Americans are and that the majority of liberals certainly have not elevated themselves above that to any appreciable degree. Seriously, read the book I linked you. I think you would enjoy it and find it illuminating.
  2. Agreed that it is not a great term and is often misapplied. e: @956
  3. After US and Israeli strikes, some nuclear experts say Iran could be more dangerous - ABC News Interesting take. I'm not sure Iran will pull out of the NPT but I think it would be very, very bad for them if they did.
  4. I mean yeah, all religious fundamentalism has this problem, including orthodox Judaism. Read about Kach and Baruch Goldstein sometime. That's not something you would ever learn about in Western curricula.
  5. Ok, Rex. Your personal anecdotes ARE more important.
  6. I'm not a liberal. Liberal Islamophobia is not a fringe element. It is pervasive in our society, and liberals are certainly not immune. Yes, obviously it is worse and amplified among conservatives and liberal politicians (who are largely conservatives themselves). I linked you a very good resource to learn about this from a respected academic who has spend decades studying it but, again, I suspect you have no interest in learning anything beyond your current point of view.
  7. This feels like the same energy as people who rail on about "anti-white racism"
  8. Ok I can't resist, I so badly need to understand how you came to these conclusions. Unless this is just some diabolical gaslighting, in which case bravo.
  9. The local VFW is always tuned to Newsmax or occasionally Fox News when I go to play poker with the old folks on Tuesdays. This week it was on CBS news all night and I could not figure out why.
  10. The latinos around here that I know were Trumpanzees have been real quiet lately.
  11. Incredible. I have no words.
  12. Also fucking lmao @ suggesting it's some kind of perversion. What astounding arrogance.
  13. You only think it's a falsehood because it makes you feel bad. I could go on and on and point out the many, many instances of Islamophobic rhetoric and action coming out of the Democratic party in recent years, but it would be better if you actually learned about liberal Islamophobia on your own. If you actually care to learn, which I sincerely doubt, perhaps I could suggest a book.
  14. Crashed out in the Israel thread in DT and went on a racist rant. He'll probably be back in a couple weeks with the name New York Strip or some shit.
  15. It very clearly means something to senior Democratic leadership and Democratic donors. You can wishcast about it meaning nothing at all as much as you want, you're still wrong. You can come back later and apologize when it turns out I'm right.
  16. They're not silly at all and of course they don't mean nothing. YOU want it to mean nothing, but that just isn't reality. No one is saying NYC is representative of the entire country, that is a stupid fucking strawman that milquetoast shitlibs like yourself came up with. For the Democratic party specifically, it is a direct shot at the gerontocracy, evidenced by the complete and utter racist panic that his nomination has instilled in the Democratic leadership and liberals such as yourself. If it meant nothing, they/you wouldn't care. You are coping and it's pathetic. Just shut the fuck up and stop embarrassing yourself.
  17. 2009 was the last time a "Republican" was elected. Of course it's possible, but it's not anywhere close to likely this time around. Both of the "realistic" opponents are deeply unpopular, the Republican candidate is a complete lame duck weirdo who got trounced by Adams last go-around and neither Adams or Cuomo have anything close to the same motion that Bloomberg did. I get that Muslims scare liberals, but it'll be fine.
  18. If WSOP allowed deal making like basically every other tournament, it would be more or less a non-issue.
  19. Yeah gee whiz I wonder what has happened since 2009? Do you really think this kind of quibbling makes you look smart? What the fuck is wrong with you people I swear to god.
  20. Republicans will run Sliwa again who is a weird loser that has barely any motion. Cuomo and Adams are both deeply unpopular and NYC voters are pulling the lever for the Democratic candidate. You can cope about it all you want for whatever bitch made reason you can come up with and come apologize when I'm right.
  21. Dunno, I just see that he's gone
  22. Wild that Rex had his account deleted and stole Stassney's
