    of course, on this very thread i explained to you that it was not merely about throttling, though that is an aspect. you clearly still do not understand this issue, and still cannot articulate why you are against net neutrality. it's kind of an amazing thing to behold.

    Dude, he’s against it because the Republicans and the Trump administration are against it. He’ll never admit to that, but that’s what the fuck this is.

    On a serious note, I think BLM kinda fucked themselves, from a PR standpoint, by making Michael Brown their beachhead.

    They should have kept the focus on Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner. 

    And Botham Jean and a host of others, which is really the larger point: this isn’t about having beachheads or poster boys or anything like that. 

  3. My alma mater had to change a LOT more of its traditions than merely its school song back in 2004, and we’re perfectly fine with those changes. I really don’t see what the problem is if enough students no longer wish it to be a part of the culture. 

  4. Oh and here’s another thing about Gaetz’ ilk:

    Whenever you see a prominent or semi-prominent right winger talking shit about Hollywood and its elitism, chances are very good that it’s just a ruse:

  5. I really don’t know which is the bigger con job:

    Trump pretending that he knows anything meaningful about political affairs

    OR

    Gaetz pretending to be an alpha male

    Believe exactly like we do or you will be burned at the stake.  I briefly thought about staying out of the shit hole that is the Cloak Room because of this prevailing attitude but this whole groupthink plague is worth fighting against.  I know it's not a popular stance to take here but a man who was slightly smarter than even me once said  "Just because something is popular does not mean it is right and just because something is right does not mean it is popular." (Albert Einstein)

    Saying that Einstein was smarter than even you is like saying that the New England Patriots are better than even my 12 year old nephew’s flag football team.

    I can't decide if I am more dismayed about the the racism displayed by the Turletons in this country, or the galactic levels of retardation that always seem to accompany the racism. He is probably too fucking stupid to fix. 

    Well no one serious ever suggested that racism was in any way associated with some sort of lofty intellectual discipline, so yeah that seems to register in the “accurate” category.

    This is still just internet rumor mill stuff, right?

    Nominally, yes, but in reality it has as much chance at being not true as it seems probable that the Generals are going to finally beat those damn Globetrotters.

    Some bad guy robbed a bank.  Let's ban all guns so the one time event does not happen again.   See how that works Trump peeps?  Or does the one guy who drove into a ditch and did not drown because he was not wearing a seatbelt - so everyone should not be able to have a seat belt - work?     The isolated and minuscule  instances of voter fraud should not be grounds for preventing millions of legitimate voters voting by mail.  

    Not only that but we need to be honest with ourselves about who's committing the very limited instances of voter fraud. It's not uppity negroes who work at Popeyes, it's not the hispanic lawnmowers, or any of that shit. No, the very few instances of voter fraud are being committed by those who scream loudest about it, i.e. those with a very visible skin in the game. Voter fraud, in that respect, is the new gay. If you see a politician screaming about it, chances are they're a pillow biter ballot stuffer.

    And if anyone is still confused by that, please answer the following:

    1. You would agree that our political system (like virtually all of them) court people who possess underhanded/unethical tendencies, would you not?
    2. You would agree that the aforementioned people share a common tendency of possessing a desire to win at all costs, would you not?
    3. You would agree that the people making claims of voter suppression are those most likely to vote against establishment figures, would you not?

    Final question, if you agree with the first 3:

    What sort of pattern of voter fraud, if any, would you expect to arise out of this when the number of those who are making claims of suppression far outweigh the number of those who claim fraud?

    The idea that the Union fought the Civil War to free the slaves is almost as absurd as the idea that the South did not start the war to keep their slaves. 

    Oh there’s no doubt that the Union’s intentions were far less than noble. Saying that they were trying to liberate African slaves is as naive as saying that the US was trying to liberate [insert name of country we fucked with] in [insert years spanning between 1947-present]. 

    That having been said, the motivations for the confederacy were far worse. I mean seriously, you got your panties in a fucking wad because some guy who may or may not have held abolitionist convictions won the election, so you literally took your ball, went home, and vowed to take up arms against Americans if they decided to do something about it?

    And as far as this heritage thing, that to me is a perversity that’s very hard to match: a four-year fad that arose because of the aforementioned butthurt is put to sleep 155 years ago, and that’s a heritage today? Kill that noise.

    Are you earnestly promoting James OKeefe's propaganda outlet as a legit source? Not sure if serious.

    Seriously, if that outlet ever had anything useful to tell us, I would have remembered it.

    I was GOP up until it came time to vote for the second term of GWB. I'm pretty ashamed of having been duped by their myths for a long time. It would take a lot for me to ever consider voting red again.

    -Climate change is real

    -We have a health system crisis

    -Our policing needs reform

    -Gun violence is out of control

    -The tax system is going in the wrong direction and furthering the class divide

    -Education needs to be overhauled

    -Etc

    Not only has the GOP willfully ignored self-evident issues, they seem to be determined to go in the wrong direction. Somehow it also astonished me how easily R leaders bent the knee and looked the other way WRT to Trump's behavior. Shameful.

    You bring up a good point on local vs. national elections. I will definitely be more involved and better informed starting at the local level going forward.

    God damn, for a minute I thought I was looking into a mirror until I saw the last line.

    Graham has long operated like someone sympathetic to Trump had the goods on him.  I wonder if this is it.  If it is, then outing him removes that leverage, and that's a good thing even if I don't really give a shit if Lindsey Graham Fucked 5 Male Hookers.

    LGF5MH is the new CJK5H.

    I mean it's well known that Trump's been up to his knees in the prostitution racket for decades (despite what his idiot fanboys think about it). That doesn't necessarily mean he's enlisted the services of male prostitutes on his own behalf, but there's no doubt that he knows some (or at least knows of them) and is/was familiar with their clientele.

    You can't contract to commit a criminal act and expect the contract to be upheld.  

    Exactly. Either this guy is completely full of shit or Lindsey Graham is one of the biggest fucking idiots on the planet.
