So yeah. I think im gonna have to pass on voting trump this election.

Thats not at all how the geneva conventions definition of genocide goes.

C requires it to be calculated to destroy, E refers to permanently giving the children to other families, not temporarily detaining them seperate from the parent, and all three require intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.

If the Geneva Convention was applicable the democrats wouldn't be having trouble removing him.

If canada could be slapped with the Big G for it's mishandling of events, so to can the United States. Especially since there are a number of children who have simply gone missing without any record of where they went and what Happened to them.

That's separation without sending them to their families. Abd done specifically to those of south american origins. You don't see them detaining any immigrants from the northern border. Thus, it's a target of a region of people with calculated consequences to potentially kill them. Destroying sources of water for people in a desert is as calculated a way to cause deaths of people, as I can personally think of without actually making a firing squad or building a human sized oven in the camps.

Democrats have trouble removing him because the senate has 53 republicans and 47 democrats; a two thirds majority is needed to impeach so even if every democrat voted for impeachment they'd still need 20 republicans to vote with them which won't happen. This is an important fact that no one seems to be acknowledging.

And THEN there's the fact that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) is refusing to do anything legislative that isn't confirming conservative judges to federal courts.


After reaching deal between the House Judiciary Committee and the Department of Justice, the Trump Administration is planning to micromanage what the HJC gets to see from the DOJ.

In what way is CNN bias against Trump?
Examples?

Pooch, I know you are not a smart boy. But if you seriously need examples of CNN's bias handed to you, then you are a part of the problem and can not critical think for your self nor are you able to do your own leg work.

But I am feeling kind and will give you this.

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Example 4

Example 5

Even CNN admit it is bias against President Trump

Bias is "prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair."
In what way are any of your examples unfair?

You didn't look at them did you? You just posted 2 minutes after I did.

I did, and none of that was bias, just examples of cnn pointing out the horrible job Trump is doing at his job.

And you just proved you are so biased that you don't see the bias that is in line with your bias.

If cnn did nothing but praise Trump, would you still say they are bias?

>Citing CNN known bias in another smear against President Trump
This is knee jerk reaction at this point.

Speaking of CNN, they are losing it's back side in the ratings by losing 1/3 of it's primetime viewers and a whopping 55% of it's Demo viewers.

"smear against President Trump"
So you're just gonna ignore all of the lies Trump has told such as
Saying Obama has a ten foot wall around his house
Claiming wind turbines cause cancer
Claiming democrats oppose any effort to secure the border
Claimed to be "draining the swamp" while simultaneously appointing Bush era war criminals and Goldman Sachs insiders
Claiming his approval ratings were higher than Lincolns, even though said polls didn't exist until the 1940s
Repeatedly pushing that Obama wasn't born in the US

You should just go to r/The_Donald and stay there.

Okay, normally I’m not super happy about politics on KYM, but I am kind of shocked that we haven’t made an entry on the protests going on in Hong Kong right now over the extradition legislation yet.

democrat debate in less than 2 weeks. It will be very interesting to see people of very different political ideologies debate. It won't be like the republican debates where its ~15 clones, Trump, and ran paul. The democrat field is way more diverse. A few clones, but not many. Really excited to see how Yang performs.

Diverse? Physically yea, with a few women and non-whites. But in the end position wise they are all 15 leftist clones who are trying to out far left each other, Bernie, and Biden. 15 more who can't make the cut and left fuming.

in the end, the same shit, just a different day. Still, it should be a spectical that demands popcorn while watching.

>they are all 15 leftist clones who are trying to out far left each other, Bernie, and Biden.

What are 2 major policies that those two agree should be introduced?

The fact that you think Biden, Sanders, O'rourke, Yang, and Warren are clones further proves that you don't care about policy, you're just a tribalist who stands for nothing. You just agree with everything Trump says and disagree with everything democrats say.

You are correct, they have no policies I care about nor want implemented. They are all racing to see how far left they can go and that is not the direction I want my nation to head into.

>you're just a tribalist

Fair enough. Yes I am, and so are you and everyone else in this world. That is how humans organize themselves from the dawn of time to far into the future.

>who stands for nothing.

Wrong. I do stand for a Conservative/libertarian mixture of stances.

>You just agree with everything Trump says

Not always, but I often do.

> and disagree with everything democrats say.

They push many flavors of authoritarian policies or stances I find appalling.

The irony of failing to see the authoritarian policies the Trump administration wants to enact, especially regarding abortion, is something I will never not find amusing.

"They push many flavors of authoritarian policies or stances I find appalling."
Such as? Because I can give you several instances of Trump being authoritarian, like when he tried to sue The Onion or when he revoked numerous people's press credentials.
And stop saying Biden's on the left, he's not. He doesn't support Medicare for all and is a corporatist.

Oh lets see here. The Democrats when they were in power took over the Student loan industry, They passed the disaster that was the Dodd-Frank act that slammed the financial industry with crushing regulations that did nothing to stop the housing bubble from busting in 09, and made a massive attempt to take over the heath care industry with Obama care. now THAT is authoritarian. All you can point out is a trivial lawsuit and press people who on their own actions who behaved badly got their credentials revoked. Mind you those credentials are a privilege and not a right.

Yes Biden is a leftist, and i will give him credit that he can hide it much better than others. I will say he is a progressive leftist, but a leftist all the same.

Nah, the REAL irony is when back in my days I can remember the leftist use to call members of our armed forced "baby killers" and then they turned around to went back to work at Planned Parenthood where they are the ones who killed babies.

"All you can point out is a trivial lawsuit"
It's not trivial. If a democrat had done this you'd be running around screaming that they're literally Stalin.
Also Trump got Colin Kaepernick blacklisted, he wants to make flag burning illegal, and he's pro-torture.

Whats wrong with authoritarians? Authoritarian can prevent school shootings, violent protests, and chaos,.

Look at China, for example, there hasnt been any domestic terrorism incident ever since a Christian who failed an exam and calls himself brother of Jesus

Your own veterans from the vietnam 66-68 tour also called them baby killers as well. In fact if i recall, a lot of talk was wishing they had fragged the Marines who they knew did those crimes, and not forgiving them for stuff like My Lai. If you wanna pull that card, it was the republicans and anti-liberals who criticized LBJ's war, before extending it, and tolerating atrocities even when marines reported said crimes straight to the administration.

Look, the Social Credit system works. State Capitalism works, Authoritarianism works.

People receive free healthcare, they get free education, primary, secondary, tertiary, They work like other people do in western countries. There are no racial conflicts, no religious conflicts either. No one is hostile. Racism and bigotry is nonexistent.

If America implemented the same system China uses, then there wouldn't be people like Donald Trump, Brock Turner, George Bush, Elliot Rodgers ruining America.

The bigots living in the Deep South will respect African Americans.There will be no religious indoctrination that will compromise Beneficial (non-asshole like) values. In other words, no religious backed homophobia and no religious terrorism.

I mean look at what America's turning into now. Polemical social structures. Oligarchs feeding off of the poor's achievements, bifurcating politics. It's as if everybody's fighting for themselves. Total Chaos. We need to fix that.

China has had it's fair share of domestic terrorism. Mainly from Xinjiang province.

If the 20th century showed us anything it showed us through bitter real lessons what precisely is wrong with authoritarians, from the left, and the right.

You prove that the stereotype of the rude frenchman is a real thing. I was off line when that guy posted.

Then the 21st century showed us what is wrong with liberalism, from the antifa, BLM, LGBTQ, Feminists, corporate enslavers

pride month, black history month, mothers day, Transgender bathrooms, Starbucks Slave farms. All of those things are unneeded under China

What? You where not even around back in Nam to hear that Black Graphic. Besides, I was talking about the First Gulf war. The leftist was pulling that same stunt on our troops back then too.

There wouldn't be a war if your military was socialized. Dude, your military right now is run by CEO's like Eric Prince, Donald Trump, George W Bush, Jared Kushner, Tim Cook & Sundar Pichai. They profit off wars by selling Weapons to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Nicaragua, Columbia, and training islamic fighters like Osama.

Look, I went though 8 years of Obama and his mess and never did I have panic attacks like you seem to be having whenever President Trump says or does something.

Kaepernick Blacklisted himself due to his disrespectful behavior that the NFL's audience and paying fans HATED. He cost the NFL hundreds of millions of dollars (if not more) in lost income from alienating the viewers. You just don't do that on company time and expect to be employed there for long. That and he was a poor ass player that many others could do better than him.

Just because you lived in that period doesn't mean you knew even a quarter of what we can know now, with testimonies, photographic evidence, recordings, and declassified files. Back then in the old days where 58% of people thought ken state students deserved to get shot for just being arbitrarily too close to a line, and Nixon could get away with such antics like sabotaging peace talks to give himself better chances in the polls. There were a lot of veterans who refused to stand by their comrades as the war dragged on, such as Bill Erhart, Ron Ferrizzi, Roger Harris, Matt Harrison, Karl Marlantes, John Musgrave, Vincent Okomoto, Philip Bradey, and many, many, more.

The myth that opposing the vietnam war was somehow disrespecting veterans, while the miltiary and nixon administration tried to shield monsters like William Calley and his Wehrmacht-esque Charlie Company, and his superiors being allowed to pull shit like the Operation Speedy Express, is laughable. And to bring up baby killers as a discrediting point, when that's exactly what occured and what had to be forced into the open via confessions sent to the press when the nixon administration refused to respond to letters from the army and marines talking about such things, is a sign of intellectual dishonesty.

@Team Arkos
Criticism=/=Panic Attacks
And you can pretend I’m just some crazy libtard but I can be objective. I defended Trump during Russiagate, unlike BrentD15 and poochyena who went full Maddow. I supported when he said he would withdrawl troops from Syria. I don’t just disagree with him because he’s Trump.
