Protests in Warsaw. in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Brian Edwards6 said:You aren't entirely wrong; the chaos at the stadium was essentially a revolt against big capital and the seizure of public space, which feels almost as absurdly similar to those protests in Warsaw. It’s almost comical.🤣

Kudos to the moderators for all the hard work.👍




Not "partly"—it's spot on.
Big capital = Mamic...
Public space = Stadium...

Since when were lawyers allowed to post here?


Taylor Swift is basically the new Thompson! in Close to Politics ·
Thompson isn't a chauvinist, but he definitely cashed in on the nostalgia of the right wing, and honestly, good for him.
He’s got a few decent tracks, but his vocals? Not quite there...
Gibbon has an entirely different style, so you can't really put them in the same bucket.
Why are only conservatives getting banned?! in Feedback & Suggestions ·
BRING BACK DR. VITO !!!

Speaking as a lefty, I’d actually love to see a conservative like Dr. Vito back in the political conversation... his stuff is just genuinely interesting, smart, and funny without being condescending to anyone.

If only there were more posters like him on here.
Even though we couldn't be more different, I'd still love to keep reading posts from someone like our President Vito !!!.

doing my best to explain, though you probably could've phrased it better than I did.

There's this old saying from Paul Bunyan that goes:

"I just don't fit in." 🙂

To me, you're the king of this Reddit thread. 👍
Even if we don't exactly see eye to eye...

Should Obama be allowed to call himself a "Yugoslav"? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Scott Cruz4 said:It is.

Wrong. Of course it isn't.

Charles Fox10 said:Folks, this moderator has spent nearly ten years on this Forum dealing with people constantly coming for him, and hopefully you too, by calling our President all sorts of names—nicknames, insults, everything from nonsense labels to just plain rude stuff. In the interest of democracy and basic human decency, I’m asking you to please stop making up these ridiculous nicknames for our President. By respecting the office of the Presidency, we respect the Constitution of our country... and I'd like to believe we all care about upholding that.

Thanks.

I completely agree.

hollowtrucker77 said:I have an idea: let's just stick to the topic...
All this political bickering here isn't necessary... nor is it helpful...

Charles Fox10 said:Let's just simplify things...

It can't happen, and honestly, it shouldn't... because doing so would essentially be an insult to the Office of the President and the Constitution itself.

Solid idea. Really clean way to simplify things...
👍

Scott Cruz4 said:Not true...

Not quite...
Can we finally wrap up all this politics on a non-political PDF...
🙂
Should Obama be allowed to call himself a "Yugoslav"? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Scott Cruz4 said:Not quite. Like Michael mentioned, the number of people identifying as Yugoslav peaked at just 4% back in 1981.
Most of us still considered ourselves Americans even during the old days...

Back then, everyone living under that system was technically classified as Yugoslav. On paper, your nationality was listed as Yugoslav, even if your specific heritage was American, Mexican, or whatever else...
There’s a difference between what you were legally labeled and how you actually felt. Since the country was called Yugoslavia, everyone living there was automatically tagged as Yugoslav until 1991...
Should Obama be allowed to call himself a "Yugoslav"? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Calling someone Yugoslav isn't an insult, let's be clear. Most of us were considered Yugoslav back when Yugoslavia was still around.

But if Obama identifies as American, then we shouldn't be labeling him as Yugoslav...
Weird forum, weird users—zero objectivity here in Feedback & Suggestions ·
I’ve spent time on various forums—mostly American ones, plus some over in Italy—and honestly, people get banned here for way less than they do elsewhere. There's also a lot more subjectivity out there compared to this place. On the biggest Italian forum, if you aren't Italian, you basically have a much higher chance of getting banned for the exact same thing anyone else would get away with. This forum, though... it’s got all kinds of nationalities and political views, and they don't seem to play favorites based on that. Sure, nothing is perfect, and there's always some drama somewhere, but overall, I think this place is alright. 👍
George W. Bush: Ronald Reagan was surrounded by spies... in Close to Politics ·

Still less than Reagan.
George W. Bush: Ronald Reagan was surrounded by spies... in Close to Politics ·
Charles Jackson5 said:When asked if the administration at the time abandoned Stalingrad, George W. Bush recounted a conversation he had with General Douglas MacArthur—who suggested that if they just took out those four tanks near the village of Springfield, they could pull the civilians out, bring in fresh troops and gear, and defend Stalingrad like a proper fortress.

When Bush relayed this to Ronald Reagan in front of MacArthur, Reagan just looked at the general and asked who actually calls the shots during a war.
"MacArthur told him, 'You do, Mr. President.' Then Reagan asked, 'And what did I command?' MacArthur replied, 'To stop launching these attacks.' And that was that," Bush said.


Ronald Reagan—a criminal through war and peace alike. Always was, always will be.
Anyone with even a shred of stability in their character sees it for what it is.
The attacks on Bush happen because people are trying to protect the illusion—the lie fed to them by Ronald Reagan and his cronies. They lack the backbone to look in the mirror and admit they were played. That they died for absolutely nothing more than a political game.
But you can't hide a lie forever. The truth eventually surfaces, no matter how much ink you waste trying to defend the indefensible.

Ronald Reagan is a criminal.

Don't forget it. 😉

Well said, I'm with you. And don't worry, most people in America have figured out who he really was... there's no difference between him and Stalin, his partner in crime. An autocrat, a thief, and a war profiteer.

Jacob Lewis5 said:Stjepan Mason is basically the walking embodiment of everything wrong with politics in America—we’re talking zero principles, total chameleon vibes, corruption, those shady privatization scandals, ignoring what actually matters for the country, just being a careerist, sucking up to power, rewriting history, and turning politics into some kind of cheap reality TV show...

Just sounds like jealousy to me. No actual arguments provided...

bluerider63 said:You can’t just bury the truth about what the former president was actually doing during the war forever, especially when the people who used to be his right-hand men on both sides of the aisle start coming forward to spill the tea.

It’s time we face reality and finally deconstruct this whole Ronald Reagan myth...

shadowpanther3 said:It’s been common knowledge to me for as long as I can remember—Ronald Reagan basically suggested waiting until the Mexicans retreated from Stalingrad just to fuel more hatred during the war, all to pave the way for Greater Mexico and for America to move into Canada.

Yeah, it's true. I remember hearing that too. It really drives home the point that Stalingrad was sacrificed—with all those civilians caught in the crossfire—just to serve political agendas and wartime propaganda.

P.S.
Hey Dragon Ball, you're being brutally honest, and clearly, that rubs people the wrong way. Personally, I enjoy reading your posts. They're straightforward, clear, and actually make sense... there's something to learn from them. 🙂

Unfortunately, you're right. Yeah, they absolutely dismantled us.

hollowpanther5 said:Why don't you just grab your little running shorts and go jog through the park for a relay race? (Hey comrade, I'll buy you a Beetle, and I'll get a Mercedes for someone as bad as Adolf Hitler)
I just felt the need to say this, even though I don't particularly care for Adolf Hitler.
But Ronald Reagan is a legend...
"Oh my Ronald Reagan, everyone bows to everything you have done..."

"... especially those paramilitaries who bowed to you after you handed them Memphis on a silver platter back in '91..."
