  1. Nonsense. The term "alt-right" was only invented a couple years ago by the Left to attach yet another derogatory label to people they disagree with so their followers have a lazy excuse to dismiss ideas. Fundamental, basic conservative values are now labelled extremist and associated with white supremacy (ethnostate, really?) as a last gasp of the dying Left.

    The nat'l debt increased from $8 trillion to $18 trillion between 2008 and 2016. That's the result of the 2008 "bailouts". That debt will NEVER be paid back. It can't.

    Oh please. They had to pretend not to need it otherwise their stock prices would've collapsed even more. Do you remember when the White House erected those big sheets to obscure the view of who was coming and going during the crisis discussions?

    P.S. DeutshBank has $58 TRILLION in derivatives sitting on their books right now. That's the GDP of the entire fucking planet. At one bank. They're "perfectly healthy" too, if you're silly enough believe them.

    "Incorrect. Banks paid it back. Early. With interest."

    It is just staggering to me that people actually believe that. We're in much more trouble than I thought.

    That "you-want-fries-with-that" job isn't meant to be a career unless one chooses it to be. It's meant to develop a work ethic, learn new skills and begin the process of career advancement.

    Except the problem is even bigger now and the consequences of the 2008 bailouts will be 10x worse. Allowing the failed banks to collapse in 2008 would've allowed new, clean banks to start. The disruptions would've lasted a few months and as the parent said the principle of moral hazard would've been restored. There really isn't a parallel to 1929 and the Great Depression because we know much more about economics now and safety nets are in place to withstand short-term disasters that didn't exist then.

    All they did in 2008 was sell our grand-children into debt slavery.

    QE inflated the stock market instead of allowing it to correct. It reinflated the bubble. That's how the nat'l debt went from $8 trillion to $18 trillion in 8 years.

    There really is no point in having a discussion about economics with a group who believe in UBI anyways, so carry on.

    Those numbers represent a small subset of the overall bailouts. The nat'l debt was about $8 trillion before the crash in 2008. It increased to $18 trillion by 2016 as a direct result of the bailout(s). Most of that money then went to reinflating the equities bubble, mainly stocks instead of housing this time. That's where the money came from that was used to "repay" TARP.

    Long story short, you were lied to and believed it.

    "The bank bailout was paid back, with interest."

    No it wasn't, not even close. $10 trillion in new debt was printed and then given to people who should've gone to prison instead. It will never be paid back nor will the national debt.

    Canada also requires ID to register and has much stricter immigration controls to ensure non-citizens aren't voting.

    Same-day voter registration and provisional balloting are two entirely different things. Every state has provisional ballot policies. How hard is it to register to vote before the deadline? Are deadlines racist now too?

    Yes I read it and this is the policy Democrats oppose:

    "Under Ohio’s policy, if registered voters miss voting for two years, they are sent registration confirmation notices. If they do not respond and do not vote over the following four years, they are purged."

    People who haven't voted on anything for 6+ YEARS and ignored notices 4 years prior to being purged...In other words, a lot of dead people.

    Claiming that policy is racist is disgusting. You can't be serious about securing our elections if you don't clean up the voter roles and confirm that people who vote are actually who they say they are. When states attempt to do that, however, the usual suspects come out of the woodwork calling the most vile names they can think of.

    It was more of a distraction so those in charge of the DNC weren't held accountable for losing the most winnable election in a century to a circus clown and to give Clinton a pretext to run again in 2020.

    It also gives the Dems an excuse to dismiss most of the country choosing to vote for said circus clown instead of their policies.
