    Wait a sec. Is GR Rocko? Did I miss something? Question @GRHorn, what's the going rate for a Thai hooker?
  2. SmokeyTheBear
    It's because a group of people decided to be a blind defender to all of Trump's and GOP's failings, which were immense, especially compared to just about any other President or party ever. So yes, if you were OK with the strategy of ripping families apart and losing who belongs to who, as a strategy against immigrants coming here, and then later make sure to tweet any little gaff the current President makes, fuck that. We hit a major low with Trump. Trying to tear down the next person to try and fix the things he tore apart seems a bit disingenuous

    Speaking of broken brains, explain how adding sanctions to Putin equals acquiescing to Putin? Bonus round: what is the technique of debate you use when consistently bringing up pee tapes?
  4. SmokeyTheBear
    You created that box for us. No one stated it was purely pee pee tapes and money laundering leverage. That just helps you both sides the argument. However, those could still be in play, along with a wide range of other factors. Again, context matters. But yes, let's disregard how inept the Trump Admin was at just about everything, including diplomacy. Side note : I'm especially surprised that you are a Bolton defender now.
  5. SmokeyTheBear
    Yes, one of our main allies conviced us to remove sanctions that would benefit them. Do we know if we got something for that change? No. But maybe we did. Or maybe we traded sanctions and that was it. Diplomacy and shit. But don't act like the Biden Admin is in some way identical to the Trump Admin in regards to diplomacy with our allies and our adversaries.
  6. SmokeyTheBear
    Wait, did Biden get rid of ALL the sanctions on Russia? Or just one, with the explanation that it was pretty much pointless because the gasline was near finished. Did he also get rid of the sanctions he put on Russia this past April? Remind us when Biden told the world he trusted Putin more than his own government. Let's both sides this Ana. We all like to revel at your MO in action.

    Nord 2 sanctions?
  9. SmokeyTheBear
    Honestly, I think Biden should apologize to Putin for making up the whole Russia meddling in our election thing. It was all just a MSM and intelligence conspiracy that we all (oops, I mean most, you are obviously the exception) fell for. It's amazing how you stay above the fray. Do you think we should drop sanctions on them too? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/07/us/politics/russian-bounties-nsc.html

    https://www.wspa.com/news/local-news/man-dead-after-shooting-on-zimmerman-rd-in-spartanburg-co-suspect-in-custody/amp/ Link is to what homeboy above was involved with so that we can get some clarity here.

    Speaks to the radical right, not society at large. Keep deflecting from the actual perpetrators.

    There is always a war against the powerful, because the powerful are not always looking out for the collective. And often times counter what is good for the collective in furtherance of more power. That's what a democracy should mitigate. America was built so that each individual had their inalienable rights but we currently do not live in a time where that is true for all because the few who are in power. Apathy towards the power, grows the power.
  15. SmokeyTheBear
    So you believe that there have been unjust historical events that have led to certain power structures? That those power structures disproportionately negatively impact some races and favor others? That by perpetuating these power structures, these disproportionate impacts on certain races will only strengthen? But you're so "libertarian" that you would rather live - let - live? Because by not advocating for the opposition of those structures, you advocate for them. You said you had kids; what do you think the long term ramifications of these systems if they keep going in perpetuity? Increased wealth disparity, increased poverty (thus increased crime), further limiting of votes of the people in favor of votes of the big businesses (and their 0.1% owners), etc. Does that sound like a libertarian utopia to you?
  16. SmokeyTheBear
    The only reason anyone would fight against this is if they don't like the competition. Well, fuck them. They're the same ones that own a big business and do anything in their power to sue smaller businesses to limit competition, then say they believe in capitalism. Same with race relations. Keep a race down so they can't be within, as some on this site would put it, their community.
  17. SmokeyTheBear
    Maybe with CRT, we could understand why and then address it so those stats could become more balanced.
  18. SmokeyTheBear
    Yeah, but the evil lib cabal made fun of Trump's many....many.....many....many gaffs, so fair game now. Yes GR, fair game.
  19. SmokeyTheBear
    Again, pardon my ignorance on this subject; but aren't we basically talking about asking ourselves the question on whether a piece of legislation may of have an unbalanced impact on certain races based on historical and modern data? Like, isn't that what we should do since all men are created equal, they haven't been historically treated that way, and now we need to address it? It feels like if you have a problem with that, then you need to look in the mirror and assess what scares you about that. And offloading your fear on what others might not like about this is a weaselly way of dealing with the subject.

    Muh Rights is a hell of a drug too

    Truth. My MIL was an alcoholic when we had our kid. We told her she wouldn't have our kid visit or spend the night until she got clean. After 20+ years of pill and alcohol abuse, and countless conversations trying to implore her to seek help, our kid was born and she immediately got clean. Leverage that shit.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/06/09/joshua-hall-trump-imposter-fraud/?outputType=amp Others getting in on the grift game. But now getting charged with fraud, so, we need to figure that part out.
  23. SmokeyTheBear
    Yeah, I don't agree with your thinking here. The younger generation is just taking the rigged systems we shrugged our shoulders with and decided to change the game. We're seeing it in all facets of our society and that's a good thing. Adapt or die. Fyi - CLOV and WISH up 25% before open
