look at the democrats they would rather blame someone so they can pat themselves on their back than solve the problem that caused it to happen.

Fix dnc? Naw

blame an actress? YEP!

-all democrats.

the thing i like most about mick is beneath all the layers of satire and intentional grammatical perversions are a trove of shining truths. they maybe on one side the fence or the other, directly beneath or off to the side, but always they obvious and nearby.

"Stalin, Hitler and Roosevelt" were all socialists, though Roosevelt didn't force it upon a nation like the other two. Stalin was a globalist socialist, Hitler a nationalist socialist (what Nazi means), and Roosevelt was along the lines of a nationalist socialist, though that is an extremely long discussion. Their "sins", if you will, were somewhat unrelated to their political stances.

Both Dinesh D'Souza and Jonah Goldberg are highly respected among their peers, both on the left and the right. If you've got a higher degree, in journalism or politics especially, you undoubtedly have heard of both of these men. Snowflakes tend to hate them and call them stupid and racist, etc which makes for a good litmus test of political intelligence.

You can find really interesting debate by left wing ideologues on the several stances both these books take. In addition, these two pundits/philosphers are well published writers, though most their work is over the average person's head.

Political intelligence like reducing extremely complex theories down to "free market" and "socialist" black/white retard-friendly worldview. They are "highly respected" by paid promoters. This is the best they can do. The guy took money to argue he can prove God exists -- he'll take money to say just about anything.

Theory matters. You can't prove two theories are the same by pointing out capitalist, socialist and fascist governments sometimes act the same. To do this -- you have to actually point out where the theories are similar. Even if their are similarities between fascism in Germany and communism in Russia -- it doesn't magically make two historically independent theories the same.

All forms of government seek global involvement. Isolationism is for no-nothings that think because they don't understand how world trade and national defense work and think were better off without it. This doesn't make every government that engages in UN a fucking socialist country. Socialism is a body of political theory about sharing resources and treating people equally. If you theory is Germans are the master race and we need to establish a military empire that lasts 1000 years -- your theory isn't socialist anymore.

Labels are as useful as they are distinct. If we used political theory labels the way you did -- they would be useless. If you think all these political theories are bullshit -- and that the truth of the world is Capitalism vs Socialism (with 1800s America being the only Capitalist country in your view I guess) -- your still wrong about Socialism being the same as fascism because the theories would be wrong in different ways.

we do need a war to purge some of these kids born from 1995 to 2005

our laser technology still hasnt had any major breakthroughs afaik its huge its clunky and requires massive amounts of power. The duty cycle of a laser that powerful are highly questionable as well.

sure it can stop 1 artillery in a test. but the duty cycle is probably 30 seconds of on-time before the safety shuts it off. the duty cycle of these lasers needs to be something very significant while maintaining maximum effective power. I believe that is impossible with current tech and thats why you never heard about this shit again.

old post but mil tech is decades beyond what is ever revealed to the public or used. the drones we're currently using have been around since the late 1980's and possibly earlier. that's before the public had operating systems with graphical user interfaces.

Another corporation to spend 1 billion to fight climate change, in the same news: TRUMP is right again but liberals #resist and want to raise taxes to pay for gov officials to "investigate" climate change, make poor people pay for it and say they're trying to fight for the little guy :eyeroll:

15% corporate tax is a good idea...but only if it isn't going to reduce government revenue (meaning it has to be offset by closing loopholes and raising income tax on the most wealthy). Corporate tax is taxing a company instead of the rich -- its stupid. Companies don't need to pay back to society (unless it is directly to compensate for environmental damage) -- those that benefit the most from Corporations owe the debt themselves. They should not be able to put it on the corporate expense account.

Of course Trump is reducing Taxes on the wealthy because he is a fraud and a elitist bourgeois no-nothing.

Edit: IMO -- it should be a long term plan of every socialist to lower business tax and raise personal income tax (including investment income -- perhaps a higher rate for passive income). Corporate tax raises prices and lowers wages...its not a progressive thing to support big corporate tax.

aint nothing old about us dawg.

ur rite tho, we actually have NO KNOWLEDGE of the current laser weapon systems that are currently aboard some of our destroyers. its all classified. we do know certain destroyers have a laser mounted on the deck of the ship.

You are right in pointing out my post was just an assumption based on what the public knows. The fact is, the public hasn't been given any information on why laser weapon systems are aboard destroyers, or what the specifications of the laser weapon system are as far as power, duty cycle, and tracking capability.

Lol -- this video of a Woman pulling a gun over a school notebook is hilarious:

My favorite part is how awkward, uninvolved and shocked the black young man looks during the whole exchange. Like he's thinking: "grandma not again please!"

They arrested all 4 women to be PC...but I think we can all tell who was in the right here, that bitch wouldn't let go of her granddaughter. D.C. Democrats might use it as another opportunity to try to bring up guns -- anything to keep the topic off how the DNC is a corrupt organization that stole the Primary from Bernie Sanders and is only there to water down any socialist ideas that come up.
