I am offended by the connection you are making. Milo wants people dead that report the news they don't like. Waters wants people to protest government policies. The two actions are not the same, and not even close to the same, linking them together is offensive.kjkbear said:
Milo is dangerous and an idiot. Waters is less dangerous but more of an idiot. Her voice needs to be replaced by someone relevant to today's discussions. Los Angeles does not need a female Strom Thurmond--in terms of dementia and stupidity. Will she quit? Of course not, her ego is as big as anyone in Washington.
Comparing Strom Thurmond to Maxine Waters is pretty freakin' dumb, especially in light of the death threats to the Congresswoman. That's old school confederate thinking. You're an idiot.kjkbear said:

I imagine he's keeping the Secret Service very busy these days!
I wouldn't be surprised if they failed one day.
I AM surprised OJ is still here.
Two guilty men.
Hadn't you heard? Being loudly and stridently liberal is now equivalent to being a conservative racist. Fine people on both sides.dajo9 said:
I'm a big fan of Maxine Waters myself. Would never compare her to a segregationist like Thurmond.

Oh, no.
I wish for it!
Chaos if he were to die?
Dude, it is chaos NOW!
Edit, I DO worry about chaos if he were assassinated. Or a hint of conspiracy. We don't need that!
But an embarrassing trip and fall down a flight of stairs?
A stroke where he starts mumbling at the mic, then faints?
Oh, so sad!
The positive impact of Trump (if there is one) is that it is forcing people to recognize the many things we've let slip in civic life. The things we thought were "rules" that really aren't (for example, Presidential candidates being required to release their tax returns). Trump is so brazen and belligerent about everything that it can't easily be ignored.okaydo said:
Another thing: A popular thing that anti-Trump people like to say, especially when Trump reaches a new low, is that future generations will be shocked by what took place.
My contention: No they won't. Trump's norms, after he's long gone, will always be remembered and may still be put to use. So future generations will see the evolution of this, not what it was like before Trump was elected.
So Trump going away wouldn't mean much.
Also, I'd rather have my terrible leader be nakedly terrible than be good at inwardly terrible.
Bernie Sanders is also very old, but seems to have proven that his brand of politics is alive and well.kjkbear said:
I concede that comparing Maxine Waters to Strom Thurmond was a mistake. I was specifically making the comparison while only looking at Thurmond as someone who before he retired/died was long past any level of usefulness in Washington. Dana Carvey would have been better. I view Waters as just as ready to be retired.
I feel that although Bernie lost the election, he won the debate within the Democratic party. The dem base is embracing his key policy issues. Some I support, some I do not.sycasey said:Bernie Sanders is also very old, but seems to have proven that his brand of politics is alive and well.kjkbear said:
It definitely seems to be going that way, especially with young people. You could see the early evidence of this in the Sanders campaign.golden sloth said:I feel that although Bernie lost the election, he won the debate within the Democratic party.
