Nobody here is on the alt-right, friend. You're seeing nazis under the bed. Russkies, too. And a misogynist to boot. Would you have said that about Michelle Obama? Of course not.
Accusing women of being whores, and slut-shaming. You really think you don't need to adhere to your own side's standards, do you? Those standards are for everyone else, but you get to freely violate them any time you see fit, don't you?
The issue is that it's something that you bought, which is yours, and Apple is turning it off. They're not ceasing support, they're prohibiting it from connecting to iTunes. Apple is deliberately all but bricking your device. That doesn't cause rage and anger?
You neither addressed nor refuted my point, which is that bigoted classism is rampant in California - among the very people who consider themselves moral egalitarians. It's not a stereotype, it is literally true.
Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.
Maybe they need to be more open-minded and less intolerant of those different from themselves. What's it called when people segregate into closed enclaves?
So, do you or do you not realize you're a victim of confirmation bias? The only ones you see are the malcontents who want to 'make it big'. What about the millions of others who are content and like living at home? By the way, who looks down on a diversity of living choices like you do except small-minded, no culture yokels? How can you call yourself a cultural center and yet engage in such open bigoted classism? Aren't you supposed to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable?
San Francisco is actually you know, somewhere where people shitting on the street isn't uncommon. This actually IS uncommon in middle America. That would literally make San Francisco an actual shithole. Just pointing that out for clarity.
I was more referring to the bigoted, classist slurs being used by people who think of themselves as morally upright egalitarians. It's just surprising how fast that gets thrown out the window when it comes time to look down our noses and sneer at the little people. Speak truth to the powerless!
"We all agree on the need to better secure the border, and to punish employers who chose to hire illegal immigrants. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected."
"We are a nation of immigrants.. but we are a nation of laws. Our nation is rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country...
"Illegal immigrants take jobs from citizens or legal immigrants, they impose burdens on our taxpayers...
"That is why we are doubling the number of border guards, deporting more illegal immigrants than ever before, cracking down on illegal hiring, barring benefits to illegal aliens, and we will do more to speed the deportation of illegal immigrants arrested for crimes...
"It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws that has occurred in the last few years...and we must do more to stop it."
"What the commission is concerned about are the unskilled workers in our society in an age in which unskilled workers have far too few opportunities open to them. When immigrants are less well-educated and less-skilled, they may pose economic hardships to the most vulnerable of Americans, particularly those who are unemployed or under-employed."
Christine Todd Whitman: Donald Trump Muslim comments like Hitler's But Trump's most recent comments have drawn comparisons to Hitler, including a front page Tuesday on the Philadelphia Daily News showing Trump with his hand raised looking like a Nazi salute and the headline "The New Furor."
After Trump asked people at his rallies to raise their hands to swear to vote for him, the press compared it to the "Heil Hitler" salute from Nazi Germany.
No Republicans? It sounds like paradise. Why is there anything wrong there? The rest of America is fucked up because Republicans deliberately fuck it up, by why does a state run entirely by Democrats have problems?
Nope, it will never happen. People will never leave California no matter how much it costs, because they are not embarrassed in the least to be classists. Typical attitude:
As a tech professional, I would rather eat glass than live in a so called "flyover" state. I have in-demand skills and I have zero desire to live in places that are small minded, lack diversity, and lack interesting and rich culture. The tech sector is chock full of diverse immigrants and unique people who have no desire to live in a conformist mono-chromatic culture. Top tech talents don't want to eat breakfast at the Waffle House.
This is one of the mild ones that doesn't include profanity or wishing for death. Plenty of those out there should you wish to look.
So Trump made those people sabotage their own water system? And then steal the money meant for repairs? Seriously, you're actually going with the "blame the foreigners" narrative? Shithole countries are shitholes because of the people who live there. When they move, they don't change, they bring the shithole with them.
Trump's not a politician. He's never held elected office in his life and after leaving office never will again. Contrast to Obama or Hillary or Bernie Sanders, people who never had straight jobs in their lives.
I can't wait for the day that Europe finally stands up for itself and kicks the backwards, ignorant, racist violent Americans out. It will be a great day to finally get out from under the cruel domination of people you obviously look down on. The applause will be thunderous.
Negative, that is fake news. Fusion GPS was contacted by a GOP member (Washington Free Beacon) for opposition research. The Steele Dossier was separate. There were two separate work contracts for Fusion GPS. The media / DNC are pushing that narrative, but it's flat out wrong. The GOP didn't ask for the Steele Dossier, they asked for separate Opposition Research. The DNC / HRC campaign started the Steele Dossier.
Robert Mueller found such strong evidence of Trump colluding with Russia that he decided to chase down a couple of tax evaders instead. Fun fact: you know who wrote the infamous WMD memo that got us into the Iraq War? Robert Mueller. Yup, the same one. The smoking gun here.
The DNC/Clinton machine paid for the Steele Dossier which was used as justification for FISA warrant to spy on the opposition campaign. Hillary masked her purchase through two legal proxies (one of whom pled the fifth in a deposition) and hired a foreign spy as part of gathering the intel. This is big stuff, Watergate big, I mean using Oppo Research to spy on people in the middle of an election. Watergate was just a third-rate burglary. This is 50 times what that was. This is no longer some pie-in-the-sky conspiracy. There is massive evidence, including statements from the co-conspirators, that highlights this exact operation in detail.
It is almost certain that the FBI used the dossier to get FISA court warrants to spy on Trump associates, meaning it used the opposition research of the party in power to convince a court to let it spy on the candidate of the other party - likely without telling the court of the dossier's political link.
This goes well beyond basic criminality. We're getting into serious sedition, high crimes, and treason territory here. The FBI and NSA aren't "accidentally losing" hundreds of text messages and emails because nothing is at stake.
Did you know Manafort worked for the Podesta Group in helping seal up the Uranium One deal, and the Podestas worked directly with the Russian government to do it? The smoking gun.
The government is the dictatorship of the proletariat. The government IS the workers. There is no difference between "government owns the means of production" and "the workers own the means of production" because that is a tautology. 1=1.
No socialist policies? How about putting all the capitalists in jail and watching the economy fall apart? Isn't that what always happens? It's what happened in Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, USSR, China, etc. All dirt-poor.
I *did* tell authority figures about the bullying. They shrugged it off, because I should be able to stand up for myself. Isn't that what happened to all of us? Who didn't tell? How laughably naive does that sound? I question if you were actually bullied for being a nerd. A nerd's first resort is to do things The Right Way[tm].
I thought the sysadmin had pretty much been eliminated in favor of outsourcing IT and making the developers do it themselves. It's a prime area for cost cutting, good sysadmins aren't cheap and you won't notice they're gone because they tend to automate their jobs.
That's the plural "you". Every Republican political figure in my lifetime has been called Hitler. Trump is Hitler. Romney was Hitler. John McCain? Oh you bet he was called Hitler. GW Bush? His nickname wasn't Chimpy McBu$hitler for nothing. GHW "CIA Director" Bush? Hitler. Ronald Reagan? Hitler. Nixon? Hitler. It's just a kneejerk hysterical reaction, and it's old as hell.
Wouldn't have minded Romney as president? He's a MORMON, for fuck's sake! It's a nazi religious cult! He said crazy shit that you laughed at, like Russia is an adversary. Hey, the 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back.
You know who Manafort was working for when he did all that dodgy Ukranian shit? The Podesta Group! That's right, the same one! You can't make this shit up, people. Here's the smoking gun. Manafort was campaign manager for a couple of months because he had convention experience. The Podesta Group was hired by Paul Manafort on behalf of foreign clients because the company was perceived to have a direct line to powerful politicians, like Hillary Clinton.
On April 12, 2017, The Podesta Group, Inc. disclosed to the DOJ omission of statements and falsification of at least five FARA reports. The Podesta Group, Inc. failed to identify as a foreign agent acting on behalf of "European Centre of a Modern Ukraine" (Manafort) between April 18, 2012 - April 30, 2014
I mean, it's just amusing. After MILLIONS spent, the primary focus of Mueller's investigation has NOTHING to do with Trump/Russia collusion! Mueller is doing offshore wires done by Manafort in 2012 and 2013. I thought this was supposed to be about the 2016 election?
If the FBI knew that Manafort was a Ukranian money launderer in 2014, why wouldn't they tell Trump unless they were going to blackmail him with that information?
She didn't "ignore" them, it was quite deliberate. One of the themes that emerges from Shattered (the book of the Clinton campaign) is that the Clinton operation didn't want to make a strong play for working-class white voters in swing states. The Clintonites thought these voters were disposable.
Leftist whites wanted to be rid of the culturally conservative, economically liberal, working-class white voters whom Democrats had always represented. Upper-middle-class whites were embarrassed by these people. They felt dirty trying to get their votes. The idea was that Hillary would win and spike the football in their faces, telling them that now they were politically irrelevant and decisions could be made without their input. Not that that wasn't always the case, but under Hillary it would have been policy.

This got a standing ovation. Not because the facts he was stating were so obvious, but because of who was stating them.
the first black woman elected to Congress from the South.
Admitting that Trump is a stopped clock which is right twice a day is a huge step forward. I mean, gargantuan. You mean Hitler is right twice a day?
Anne Frank's stepsister, in a January essay to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, accused Trump of "acting like another Hitler."
