Yea but SC, you're a complete loon that searches for this kind of crap all day. Searches tweak their results to previous interests/searches.

A lot of the videos you linked could easily have been faked. Not just on this subject but on many alt-right obsessions. We already know the CIA tries to influence public opinion with youtube videos, fake accounts, commentary on forums. If the CIA is doing -- that means there are at least 20 other entities trying to spin public opinion this way and that.

You honestly think there is zero effort to make good normal decent white people scarred of the fuckin multi-cultural touting libs?

You alt-right guys are just another victim of modern advertising.

You call me a loon and yet you're claiming that the CIA faked the videos I just linked...

The guy in the video, Eric Clanton, was arrested.

You said that event never happened and I proved you wrong.

You want to ignore the truth so bad that you actually think the CIA created fake videos...with what, fake blood?

Quit making up asinine conspiracies and realize you're not always right.

[mickmoranis]

id really like to identify the ideals that will be swapping sides from Democrat to Republican in the coming years.

Like legalize it folks are going to have to want to switch to republican I think, as the nation embraces legal weed.

Im watching this documentary on humbolt and the farming, because of new regulations, have taken something that was bad, and made it REALLY BAD, and all the hippies that were doing it well, are being crushed under the regulations.

Now, lets get to the point quickly, democrats love regulation, and the only people that know how bad it is for agriculture are the farmers, and the libs are not farmers, except for weed farmers.. and they're all going to have to become republicans.

Its going to be very hard for hippies to become republicans unless there is a major attitude change in the republican party, which, I believe is happening. Look at tucker carlson, look at hanity, look at TRUMP and look at the people that support him. There are more libertarians than there are Alt Right (not that CNN would tell you that)

but yeah, this is going to be an interesting flip.

First of all, I said there were groups all over the internet manipulating the way Americans view politics...that's just a fact.

It doesn't have to be the CIA. Especially sense there is a good chance that the whole antifa group was started by the CIA. So it would be strange on the face of it for them to be demonizing it. Rather this seems like a counter move from some opposing faction that likes the president.

Or maybe 3 guys got hit with bike locks. I never said that couldn't happen.

My point was you were stupid to look at videos on the internet from biased sources and assume some insane thing is going on. PC liberal rich kids from berekely going around smashing people with bike locks.

That's insane. berkeley PC kids are not generally violent criminals. Thats pretty much the end of me defending them. I mean -- I like everyone else in this form think antifa is stupid and a contradiction.

"lets fight nazis by being some rainbow ninja crew"

its stupid. And clearly these motherfuckers haven't been around enough tatooed ex-con neo-nazi's to know they aren't a group you want to fuck with. It's basically the same thing as if they said they were going to go fight the bloods and crypts in LA or some shit.

I'm going to ahead and guess a lot of these more hardcore antifa kids got the crap knocked out of them at some point -- but im not going to go around collecting youtube videos of isolated incidents and try to create a manifesto out of it.

Republicans can easily get a lot of votes by just dropping the obsession with lassiz-faire economics. As Tucker is proving by his popularity despite the anti-establishment heresy on his show.

But the thing is -- Trump kind of proved that the establishment will only accept this kind of Republican if they get a big ass tax cut to go with it. And then they only accept very moderate steps. One step forward, two steps backwards.

Weed guys -- the big dudes will all be Republican I'm guessing. Farmer types that partner up with experienced big time weed growers to make millions if not billions. This still is yet to happen because the federal regulations are still in place.

Once the market does its magic we'll end up with a few oligopolies -- or rather, the existing oligarchy will capture the weed market.

So the majority of weed growers would do best to go hard left ATM and try to use regulation to protect small growers. Maybe even do a grower union to avoid the dispensary business completely taking over all profits. As of now, growers are making far less money than they were under medical/illegal -- dispensaries are cleaning up.

But when it comes to money I'm probably not going to bet on weed socialism. I think big tobacco has a better shot in the end. You guys should definitely be checking out stocks for weed...soon might be a good time to buy. Especially in a stock market crash environment.

The CIA didn't create Antifa.

It's been around Europe for around a century now.

And I'm not claiming Antifa is some roaming horde attacking people at random.

But they are a problem and mostly because mainstream media praises them.

I've literally seen thousands of hours of live streams from multiple people regarding Antifa, so don't tell me I'm being "tricked". Again, the left totally loses me when they tell me not to believe my eyes. It's an insult to my intelligence.

You don't think all the people losing their god damn minds over Trump being elected is going to produce some crazy violent extremists?

So spare me the patronizing.

You don't know half of the stories out there because the news you trust shields you from it. They tell you it's fake, not true, etc. So you assume they're telling you the truth.

How about you watch some livestreaming of these events. Then you'll see what's really going on. You can't jump cut and edit livestreaming.

Ocasio-Cortez's plan would start applying the 70 per cent rate after the first $10 million.

Who makes 10 million a year? I'm guessing its a great guy that is not at all selfish and corrupt right? definately deserves all that money.

But it turns out that taxing the money that dude makes in addition to 10 million at a 70% rate....doesn't really slow down that persons "productivity" (money gaining interest/holding onto power at a fortune 500). So deal with it.

If someone makes 11 million in one year, we will take 70% of that last million. And they will still work because they overpaid -70% later anyway. They still could die tomarrow and the economy would be fine.

This isn't true for those that doesn't 11 million a year. I shouldn't have to include this sentence but there are a lot of people with thinking errors on this forum that think it will somehow bold badly for their 100K a year income.
