  1. Re:They didn't succeed though on NSA Chief: Nation-State Made 'Conscious Effort' To Sway US Presidential Election (aol.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Trump isn't part of the political elite. Yes, he's rich, but he's never really spent any of his time or money in politics. He's a true outsider.

    Your "true outsider" was openly Democrat until the 2010s and did spend both time and money on politics - a lot of both. Here's a beautiful example.

    Honestly, you should've researched your candidate a bit better.

    Oh, its quite likely most Trump voters aren't racist. But they did vote for one.

    I don't know what is worse. The fact that someone would willingly vote a racist president or that he/she simply doesn't give a shit.

    I don't vote in the US, but i would have chosen Clinton. In a heartbeat.

    My point is: Trump is as much elite ruling status quo as HRC is. I feel bad for you if you can't see this.

  4. But i sincerely think it made little to no difference in the result. The Dems are certainly trying to pin what's probably their worse election in history to the CIA but the sad truth is that Clinton was never a good candidate. She certainly was qualified for the job though, but that has little to do with what ends up appealing to the voter.

    If she weren't running against Trump her number would've been way worse. And this is fucking Donald Trump we're talking about.

    I'm not a Clinton fan by any stretch, but honestly, if America voted for Trump to break the "the status quo of the elite ruling over us" then you deserve what's coming your way.

  6. I agree with Mr. Bannon wholeheartedly. I see no benefit to America in promoting the careers of these transnational aliens at the expense of our own people.

    And yet, you say it as an AC. Lovely.

    You missed the segment where he implied that Asians lead to uncivc societies it seems.

    That's a textbook definition of racism.

  8. Exactly. The not-so-subtle implication of Bannon remarks is that Asians somehow destroy society.

    It is really scary that this lands as not only non-racist but reasonable to some.

  9. It the world where someone implies having Asians makes a society not civic anymore.

    And what happens when you put things into a "melting pot"? They blend together and homogenize.

    I never thought i'd live to see the day where racism and xenophobia are not only supported but *gasp* celebrated by a majority. The scary thing is how well euphemisms like "civic society" seem to work on a lot of people.

    I mean, Trump appointed the chairman of fucking Breitbart as his chief strategist. Whiskey tango foxtrot?!

    "Mexican" is the go-to word for latinos in the US. That's like saying there's no racism in the US just because people refer to blacks as "african americans".

    The camera is honestly the only weak point of the phone - a lot of cheaper options (f.ex. MotoG 3) outperform it soundly. Still, it is more than enough.

    I've been using a OPX for a little over a year now and absolutely love it.

    Well, i'm sorry, but that comes in the package.

    What's really scary is how flat out open racism and xenophobia aren't electoral deal breakers anymore. People just don't give a shit. Hasan Minhaj made a very poignant statement on the matter a couple days ago: you might not support Trump statements, but you don't really care either. Honestly, it is just as bad.

    Damn right i am. I quoted the guy verbatim being a racist and you argued he is "talking about illegal aliens of the Mexican variety" (sic). Rationalize that however you like.
