I don’t claim to have conferred or communicated with the False Prophet. It doesn’t take an angel to spot a liar. It only takes a small measure of integrity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hashtag walkaway movement is blowing up and it is really getting around that many democrat voters are defecting from the party to either be an independent or republican. These actions have convinced many lifetime moderate democrats to walk away from their party and even convinced young adults to walk away. Nancy Pelosi and Democrats couldn’t have given Trump a better gift than tonight. On live TV in front of all America and the whole world they showed how spiteful they are. With the Caucus Disaster and now this, this was the final straw for many. Nancy’s Actions: Refused to Introduce Trump Acts Hurt When Trump Didn’t Shake Her Hand Mocking His Accomplishments By Making Faces Rips Up Trump’s Speech at the End Democrats Actions: Refused to Cheer On the Positive Improvements for Our Nation Stayed Seated When Plans to Introduce Bills Was Announced Completely Refused to Stand When Minorities Benefited· Ignored Those That Trumped Honored (Military Men, Citizens, Etc…)· The Squad Boycotted the Speech Go take a look yourself: #Walkaway Twitter Now I can try to watch it, I'm still so happy, I be happy, I'm so happy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gromdor 11,790 #110 Posted February 5 Oh noes! Another piece of paper got torn and now everyone is defecting back! I'd like to think that the average American isn't as shallow as to allow as tearing paper to suddenly switch their values. As for the "Walkaway" campaign- wasn't that supposed to be big back in 2018? You know, when the Dems ended up taking the House of Representatives? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's whataboutism - measuring yourself against a perceived standard of those you neither respect nor like. It's lowering the bar for yourself. The defence of social injustice is rarely valid. I wonder how many would be horrified to learn they, themselves, have heeded the call of the SJW. Edited February 5 by Golden Duck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, it's just struck me that none of the American far right's criticism is ever to do with substance. You always go after appearances, speculation and supposition. Biden 'looks creepy'. Pelosi 'must be drunk'. Sanders 'is a commie'. It's never based on anything. It's never criticism of their policies or values. Then again, given the material Hillary gave you to work with and the best you could do was 'she looks old, she must have a brain tumor', I shouldn't be surprised. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was only commenting on whataboutism in general. It's not just the press. The governments give them the fuel. In Australia we've had at least a quarter of a century of governments telling the electorates how bad their predecessors were. It's preaching to the choir. We know!

Quite right, I get very annoyed by politicians whose main claim to incumbency is that the opposition is worse than them. It is a bit like a man telling his wife how lucky she is not to be married to her ex-husband any more, and using that as his claim to merit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your words sound similar to the infamous "Some people did something". For being from the group that coined the term "snowflake", you guys really are sensitive over trivial silly things. Yup, the House Speaker tore up Trump's speech. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't take a few bits to use as toilet paper, afterwords. The symbolism is that Trump's words are garbage. Besides hurting the overly sensitive's feelings, what about it? Edited February 6 by Gromdor 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
