Does anyone else find it extremely ironic that Germany is cracking down on free speech? You'd think with their history they would strive to be a bastion of free speech.

How do you logic that? Free speech is what lead to Hitler's rise.

Saying free speech led to Hitler's rise is a gross oversimplification. The Nazis didn't form in a vacuum. The government of the Weimar republic was flawed and the moderate political parties didn't do much about it leading communism and fascism becoming popular. It's also worth noting that Hitler had the SS and SA on their side, meaning they could threaten people into voting nazi.

What does any of that have to do with free speech

You stated that free speech was the cause of Hitler's rise to power, I pointed out that while in a way it was, but there were many other significant reasons he came to power.

I said lead to, not caused.

>I pointed out that while in a way it was

you literally said the opposite though. Is that not what you implied by "Does anyone else find it extremely ironic that Germany is cracking down on free speech? You'd think with their history they would strive to be a bastion of free speech."

So, Alex Acosta made himself like a total scumbag and a terrible prosecutor today.
Blame state prosecutors, intelligence, the victims, society over a decade ago, etc.

And he could've put Epstein away if he wasn't a coward. He's not worthy of the BAR license he abuses.

>No Relations

Time to put politics aside for a bit and i have to say again that that former hurricane Barry is dumping on Louisianan hard, but Mississippi is also going to get some serious rains as well. Poochy you going to be alright down there? Is it flooding any where you are at? I know the winds isn't going to be that bad, but I know you're going to get a lot of water heading your way.

All the arguments we have and such don't matter in the end when it comes to your physical safety in these natural disasters. I don't want anyone here to get washed away in flood waters or lose their home and stuff to it.

can we just take a second to point out that "barry" is the least threatening name for a storm?
anyways
i'm at the very top of alabama, so we aren't getting much here. It has rained really hard here, but didn't last long. I've just had scattered thunderstorms here.

Meanwhile in Why Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein Is Not A Billionaire billionaries trying to prove he's not a billionaire because they can't defend him anymore and he's making them look bad

to be clear, the guy in the video said "He didn't say anything wrong". So, you also believe that?

Yes, because for one thing, it's just a tweet and not a decree. Two if you read the continuation from that to the next tweet and he followed it by saying fix up where you came from and return and show us how well you did. third is that I know you did not finish watching the whole video. it's 13 minutes long and you posted 6 minutes after I did.

So there is literally nothing he can say in a tweet that would upset you?

>fix up where you came from and return and show us how well you did.

3/4 of them still live where they came from, and the 4th one didn't exactly have much of a choice since she was a child. So what exactly was meant by that?

>I know you did not finish watching the whole video.

I just wanted to make sure that was clear before going deeper.

If you are getting upset over that tweet then that is a sign you have a problem. He isn't doxing anyone and he has not backed this up with force. In fact most people seem to get hung up on the "go back to where you came from" part and didn't finish reading the whole thing. Context people!. If he said something truly awful AND backed it up with force of law, then there might be something I would disprove of.

two parts, one, the main reason is to force Nancy and the establishment Democrats into defending AOC and her radicals. Just 2 days ago those two women were having a fight and now THIS. Think about it people. Two, it's a reminder that AOC and her squad have done little to nothing to help their districts they came from. More so AOC. Remember Apple wanted to put a huge project up in NYC that would have brought in 25,000 new jobs? AOC was at the spear point in tanking that deal and ensuring those Jobs would never happen.

As president, everything is says has power. Its enabling racist behavior.

>If he said something truly awful AND backed it up with force of law, then there might be something I might be disprove of.

So if he said, for example, "I support antifa and hope they give fascists what they have coming to them", you'd be totally 100% ok with that?

>the main reason is to force Nancy and the establishment Democrats into defending AOC and her radicals.

Uniting the democrat party is…… a bad thing?
Weren't you cheering about how AOC and Pelosi supposedly hate each other and tearing the party apart?

>Remember Apple wanted to put a huge project up in NYC that would have brought in 25,000 new jobs?

That was Amazon my dude, and considering the massive worker strikes happening at Amazon right now, its not that unpopular of an opinion to be anti-amazon.

There is nothing racist in that tweet. Stop trying to imply things that are not there.

If that antifa tweet happened, than I would say someone else has taken over his account because he would not tweet that. It is not his nature.

Oh you are so close to it Poochy. AOC and Pelosi STILL hate each other with a bitter vileness. This forces her to do something she doesn't like at ALL. Also this makes it more and more like AOC the real leader of the Democrats. EVERY poll out there has massive negatives for her and if or more likely WHEN the Democrats go full socialist as AOC would like, they would get beat in general election like you would not believe. President Trump is just fanning the flames of the Democrat civil war.

Sorry, it was Amazon then. But the point is people kinda need jobs and Amazon isn't going away any time soon yet. NYC was going to give Amazon a VERY sweet deal and it would pour more money back into NYC over time. But having that dream get blown out at the last moment by AOC sure left some bitter feeling behind towards her.

Trumps just a bjg fan of the the film "Do The Right Thing" and was quoting his favorite character Pino when he said the equivalent of "Take your fucking pizza piece and go the fuck back to Africa.". And then followed it up by saying that Nancy Pelosi would pay for deportation processes. Because you know, that makes him so much better and totally not like your racist uncle at Thanksgiving, except if he could impose laws in the US via executive orders.

But hey, he's not wrong. Since these women are from the Us, and the Us is a crime and corruption filed mess with a barely functional government that sometimes just stops operating because of political gridlock.

Imo, Hilarys campaign sunk due to her doing dumb shit like "pokemon go to the polls" and constant foot in mouth disease. Trump comes off with the same desperation except his gaffs come off as extremely racist, desperate, and pathetic. It's like knowing that one kid in highschool who was cool in middle school but now isn't, so they then go full edgelord to try and get whatever cool points it can. Meme president won because of memes, but his memes are now 4 years old and stale, and imo, it's really starting to show.

In fact the entire rep strategy of constantly trying to cover for trump feels very desperate. Like Lindssy Graham rambling about these 4 being communist and pretty much stopping short of saying "terrorist" and trying to spin this as somehow justified. Even though the optics of telling these four congressmen, whom you need to be a citizen to be in the first place, to "go back to where they came from" is Terrible. Especially when deportations of people who were citizens of this country for years have been a recurring and growing problem since trump took office.

Team Arkos continues to prove he will defend Trump no matter what because Trumpism is a fucking cult.

So you will side with the well known bigots and openly anti-American party that are little more than NPCs that only repeats what they are programmed into saying. The Democrats are little more than a bunch of robots.

And then play the card of false sympathy, when bad weather happen near someone he dislike.

Not because in attemp to manipulate the feel of his opposition and/or to gain moral superiority, despite his immoral opinion and usual action

But because he real care for other, that why he show an unconditional devotion for pathetic leader who have nothing but hatred for people who don't match his superficial criteria.

The funny thing is Nancy Pelosi would LOVE to pay the deportation process to get rid of AOC and her squad. She hate them that much! They are upsetting her boat and making it harder for the Democrats to win the next election cycle. Socialism is never going to fly in the U.S. so President Trump is trying to cement AOC and her socialism to be the face of Democrat party. I realize the majority of the Democrat members are far more aligned with someone like Biden or Pelosi than with AOC. This is a smart move to make life a bit harder for the Democrats.

I should also add that Hillary lost for more than just doing dumb shit by being openly disdainful of at least half of this nation. Her known history of corruption, incompetence and general lack of charisma was also a major factor for her loss as well.

I think al green Calling for an impeachment hearing is imo, pretty much mirroring a lot of people's current mood. There's a lot of retarded shit he's done, and this is the straw that's breaking a lot of people's back

>anti-American
Going by your definition of anti-American Donald Trump is anti-American. He wrote a book called "Crippled America". His campaign slogan was "make America great again", meaning America isn't great.
>little more than NPCs
You have no room to call anyone an NPC considering your only political beliefs are "Trump good" and "Democrats bad".

Are you sure about that?

Breaking News

Just when the House was set to condemn President Trump

A fight breaks out on the floor among the Democrats And Pelosi Breaks house rules

She is escorted out of the chamber and work grinds to a halt

If the Democrats can't even get their shit together for this thing. Just how can they even start impeachment?

And precisely what Trump wants.
Pelosi isn't stupid. She knows the game and she knows what impeachment proceedings do – especially during election year.

Trump has been calling the Mueller investigation a witch hunt, and when it was concluded with barely anything tangibly there he was, in many peoples view, vindicated. Imagine now they open up impeachment proceedings. When the majority of the US doesn't want it. When it would take away all attention from the Democratic nominees and keep American media and population focused on an impeachment trial that he would, once again, call a witch hunt. And most likely, nothing will come out of that except give him and the Republicans ammunition.

Some have pointed out that during the 2016 the news media effectively gave Trump so much free air time that they, indirectly, helped him win. This will happen again, mark my words. And all because they couldn't wait until the actual election.

And what pisses me off the most is how time and time and time again the Democrats, the never trumpets, anyone who is critical of trump is perpetually understimating him and thinking he is some sort of doofus. A man who's been around show business for decades. Who pallied around with big wigs in media for decades. Who knows how to play them like a fiddle and lead them like a pied piper.

My God, all he needs to do is make one incitive tweet and the media, predictebly, goes berserk. Are the ICE raids talked about? Naw. Are the radical changes to our asylum rules talked about? Naw. What is talked about is him telli g the squad to go back to where they came from because they hate America. Forcing the Democrats to politically align with and defend the four people that are at this point absolutely notorious and noxious to the party.

So bloody sad. We could and should do better.

I feel the theory that Trumps trying to throw as much racism out there because he's afraid of the dirt Epstien has on him and would rather go down as a racist one term president then an accessory to child sex trafficking, is much more likely then him being any form of intelligent or wise. Hell, I'll even throw his charisma into doubt considering he talks like a spergy twitch ragebaiter.

Now how many times have we heard THAT line before? "Oh [insert name] has the dirt on Trump that will take him down." and only to come up empty. Have you learned nothing? What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to go thought to make a long time Democrat donor and fund raiser Epstien into a President Trump problem?
