I think that’s possible- we won’t know for sure for a long time. But my guiding principle to understanding Trump is that he’s lazy and ignorant more than anything, but he does have good networking instincts. Picture him like a scheming diva socialite, only he’s doing that in his own political world and internationally…

If there were no illegal immigrants, the economy would collapse. You are talking about millions of people.

Here’s the thing, since I think you are trying to think through this honestly and since you are correct that loads of people (in both parties) actually never wanted to completely eliminate illegal immigration…

1) What do you suppose people do who do cannot come here legally but face death, rape and violence if they stay where they are? They should just sit there and up with it, but feel good that they did not come illegally? Even if they die? Or watch their children die?

2) Seeking asylum is legal.

3) What responsibility do…

look dude, there are only two options. You claim not to know the difference between a city and a camp. You claim to think that asylum seekers detained in camps can simply walk out of them. And you claim that they can just go home.

So there are only two choices here. Either you are incredibly stupid but arrogant due to…

They are camps with highly concentrated minority populations without adequate resources (including sufficient food, medicine, shelter, clothing, etc). They are also separated from their families, held without charges, and not given due process. And no, they cannot simply walk out and return to their home countries.…

You are either pretending to be very stupid or you really are- I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that it’s the former, not the later, which means you are an asshole. Lower income cities are not enclosed by armed guards, and you know it. You can freely travel in and out of them. They are not camps.

If you give a…

It’s not only Bernie. It’s just the only one running for president. And it’s not far left Europe. Far left people are actually communists, socialists, anarchists. This is the capitalist option. Also please do research. Everyone should since you are going to face these problems and the fall out from them in your…

The question wasn’t about a preferred candidate. It was about a perfect candidate. I have never been confused about who I prefer. I’m saying no one is perfect.

Also it’s not an issue of these things being important to me. It’s quite literally the greatest crisis of the next couple of decades and the answer to those…

A concentration camp is not the same thing as a prison nor a detention center. It’s quite literally a camp with concentrated populations of a minority group without the resources available to serve those people’s basic needs. There is no aspect of the definition that includes rounding people up, but it is true also…

First off, I did not dispute that he’s bad at talking points or that the media’s motivation was anything other than clicks. I’m not sure why you keep coming at me with that as if I’m arguing with you about it.

You misunderstand what I’m saying about policy dispute and an old white man. He has put his hat in the ring…

Actually they are gathered up and sent there and no they can’t leave. And yes they are camps, not actual buildings though there are detention centers too. And yes they are highly concentrated. So...

There is no pee tape and the Dems are not going to impeach.

Thing is though, the US can’t destroy Iran. They have a very strong military and have won in war games simulations. The only way the US can destroy Iran is to nuke them, which they might perhaps do- via Israel maybe. War with Iran will be global with the US-Saudi Arabia-Israel on one side and Russia-Iran on the other.…

Yeah but let’s say it was in international waters just very close to Iran. Can you imagine if Iran did a similar thing here? If they had military bases in Canada and Mexico and spy drones flying off the coast of Florida etc? I don’t know why the US is allowed to have military all over the world surrounding other…

First off, if Putin did order him not to do it, thank fucking god for Putin.

But it’s not in Russia’s interest to have a global war with Iran. The fact that Putin doesn’t want war with Iran does not have to be the cause for Trump’s actions- the two can coexist without one pulling the strings for the other. Putin has…

Oh yes, he is going to keep getting railroaded. He’s not great at talking like a politician. No argument there. It’s a shame.

But regarding splitting the progressive vote, it’s not Bernie nor Warren doing that. They have an actual policy dispute. This dispute should be at the center of every conversation right now so…

We live in hell and so many of us are powerless to do a damn thing about it. 

Yes that might be true. But the headline does not say that. This headline says that he says the only reason people like Warren is because she’s a woman. That is a lie, meant to outrage people and make him seem even more unlikeable.

Frankly, I think Americans need to get over their feelings that they vote according to…

Yes he said something stupid. Who is denying that? But he did not say what this article and the VF one says he said. He did not say what all these commenters think he said. 

How does Warren plan to deal with the decline of the dollar as global capital’s default currency? What is her plan to combat the militarism and fascism that will rise to defend those spheres? How will she deal with the increase role of the military around the world to serve multinational capital in this situation…
