Not everyone, but you pretty much fit that bill yeah.

>>409953

I'd be amused at all the shit that's befallen him this week if he was further away from the presidency. As it is, I'm saddened that people think he’s a worthwhile candidate despite all that shit (and more), and I'm scared that he might actually pull this off.

Oh, and OP, you forgot #25: He once again called for his supporters to be vigilante poll watchers in "certain areas" (read: non-white neighborhoods/communities) because he keeps reading about in-person voter fraud that doesn't actually happen.

>>409962
You Right wingers have had multiple shitpost OPs, sorry that this one is inconvenient for you.

>>409964
So... right-wingers are the devil around here.

Got it.

>>409964
For the last fucking time I'm even not right wing.

>>409965
You're pretty much the devil everywhere actually.

>>409966
Sure you aren't.

>>409967
>Sure you aren't.
That is, word for word, what you said last time.

>>409970
Yeah my reaction to the claim is identical.

If you are so concerned about people wrongfully accusing you of being one of the Alt-Right shitbirds that infest the board, post with a name.

>>409972
It's more that your claim is repeatedly baseless and incorrect. Makes it difficult to appreciate your posts.

>post with a name
And become a faggot like Sage and Slow? Hell no.

>>409973
1. Refusing a simple solution to the issue
2. Applying a negative connotation to names on plus4
3. Dropping a hot slur while doing so
Yeah you're totally not some Alt-Right troll attempting to smokescreen himself!

So Trump is claiming Hillary cheated in the debate. How can you cheat in a debate.
I guess it just rubs in the claim that Trump is immature.

>>409976
>Refusing a simple solution to the issue
Because it will create problems I do not wish to have. Plus, I'm certain it won't stop you from calling me alt-right anyway.

>Applying a negative connotation to names on plus4
In these threads, they deserve a negative connotation. ESPECIALLY when staff use them.
This isn't the old plus4chan community of artists. Names on /bawpol/ just cause unwarranted arguments and drama.

You literally said "shitbirds" two post up. Don't play that card.

>>409979
>Because it will create problems I do not wish to have. Plus, I'm certain it won't stop you from calling me alt-right anyway.
Because you are. You are attempting to smokescreen yourself while simultaneously defending them. It's literally what slowpoke does except you're trying to do it while being anonymous and then get offended when people lump you in with them when you have no distinguishing characteristic. You said "for the last time, I'm not right wing!" right after posting a defense of right winger, but if you're anonymous, then it's just another post in defense of right wingers ergo...
>This isn't the old plus4chan community of artists. Names on /bawpol/ just cause unwarranted arguments and drama.
You NOT having one is the cause of this. Either get one or don't get mad when you get lumped in.
>You literally said "shitbirds" two post up. Don't play that card.
That isn't, you realize, a slur right?

>>409979

>But why is your default impression of anons that they are right, especially as you are one yourself?
It is fair to assume that if you are defending someone, you are sympathetic to them (in the scenario of online discussion, before one of your buddies starts on the HILLARY LOVES RAPISTS garbage). Because you jump in to defend Right wingers, you are labelled right wing.

>>409986
>Regardless who wins in the US election, and regardless of what happens to the country, how many years do you think will pass before historical revisionists will get it wrong?
I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. If you are asking how long it is before historians begin to misinterpret historical events (such as who became President), I think that digital storage of wikis and news is enough to ensure correct historical recount.

>>409979

>Names on /bawpol/ just cause unwarranted arguments and drama.

People who think every poster should be anonymous (i.e., free from the responsibility of owning one’s words) cause unwarranted arguments and drama. I don’t give a shit if anyone here links me and my name to what I’ve said; they’re my opinions and thoughts and ideas, and I’m willing to own them, for better or worse. You can attack the message without attacking the messenger. (That goes for everyone—including me. I’m actively trying to hold back the snark and potshots as of late.)

>>409990
>You can attack the message without attacking the messenger.
We sure can, but the problem is the people who don't.

I'm just pissed off and venting right now, but it sucks to see all the conversations that devolve just because someone thinks your opinion is incongruent with that opinion you expressed back on 2014, and they can't accept that there's more to politics than the political compass, and that people can change their mind.

>>409991

>We sure can, but the problem is the people who don't.

We can’t control them. We can only control ourselves and our reactions/responses. The best we can do is stop falling into the juvenile name-calling bullshit (as much) and stick to arguing on the subject at hand, whatever it may be.

>>409992
Fair enough.

Back in the UK, Theresa May said that Brexit will happen next March, without a vote by Parliament (which means it won't fulfill the "in accordance with that country's constitution" part of Article 50) and the £ dropped again.

I was part of another protest against the whole stupid idea, and it got the same reactions from the public (mostly positive, aside from two stupid cunts yelling "Go home losers!" at about 100 people who'd come from all across the UK to exercise their democratic right) but on the plus side we actually got some press coverage from the BBC this time. Granted, it was because we were protesting next to the Tory conference... but hey, at least it's something.

>>410007
>So what's the point of killing Assange right now?
There isn't one, and nobody is planning to do so. The above picture is just something they spit out with no actual sourcing. And as our right wing friends have been insisting, if you can't source something then it doesn't exist.
>>410006
>considering SOMEONE sent an assassin to scale the side of the Ecuadoran embassy and murder Assange at 2AM
CORRECTION: someone was climbing the Ecuadorian embassy at 2am and y'all did everything you could to claim this was someone trying to kill Assange despite no evidence

>>410007
To my count he still has two insurance files.

The motive for the assassination might be wikileaks claiming to have even more files on Clinton, to release if she gets elected.

>>410013
It could be quite literally anything. That he tried to climb the building is literally all you've got. He could have been trying to steal shit. He could have been trying break something. He could have just been fucking around. He could be insane. It could be LITERALLY ANYTHING. You have no evidence or indication of anything, only a self-important rapists' delusions of grandeur and your own agenda to get a self-important rapist elected.

>>410014
The bros at WikiLeaks better deliver. Many things depend on it.

>>410017
>But it's most likely an assassin.
There's absolutely nothing that indicates that versus some dude trying to steal shit. You just want it to be that because it'd be useful for you/Assange believes that because he's an egomaniac.

>>410017
>But it's most likely an assassin.

Who said bike? Or common variety?

It's funny how /pol/-kun is digging his heels in trying to sell the murder fantasy but has curiously tried to push Assange's ludicrous claim about drone strikes under the rug. Meanwhile, that very same fake journalist pulled the plug on his supposed announcement today, almost like he didn't have anything at all and was just desperately trying to stoke the fire of his relevance.

Wait…this is somehow a bad thing? I mean, yeah, the ACA isn’t perfect, but it’s not as if the Republicans have an actual plan to replace the ACA (or fix the problems with the American healthcare system that existed before the ACA was passed).

>>410046
>Make up your mind, either the gov are fleecing people or the data is wrong, you can't have it both ways.
Different posters champ.

Britain again, and... hoo boy. Basically, Theresa May has set a date for Brexit, and the £ has dropped back down to about the same level as that recession we had in '85... again.

My government has responded by blaming everything on immigrants and "the liberal elite". They've said they'll deport any doctors who aren't 100% Anglo-Saxon, and anyone who complains is a freedom-hating bumface. Some UKIP MEP has said that it's amazing how many policies they've stolen from UKIP's last manifesto.

tl;dr, it turns out politicians who want Brexit are kinda sorta like Nazis.

>>410052

Isn’t there some campaign going on now to name-and-shame businesses that have foreign workers so they’ll be forced to hire more people from the UK?

>>410053
It's less "some campaign", more "future policy the Tory government hope to implement soon".

Yeah.

Unless you meant the 2008 recession and just wrote '85 accidentally...

>>410058

Yep, needs a vast expansion from where it currently is. UNBELIEVABLE step up from where we were though, holy shit.

>>410060
>UNBELIEVABLE step up from where we were though
In what way? Most people can't even sign up for it, and GAO says it's costing Americans 25% more than the previous system, and price of drugs rose by 98% after ACA was implemented.

>>410064
>GAO says it's costing Americans 25% more than the previous system
[citation needed]

And with that citation, a mention of what the previous rate of increase in the same timeframe was in the old system--because the cost increased every year under the old system, and everything I've read says that the rate of increase has, on average, sharply decreased, even though that increase still occurs.

Same question regarding drug prices. Hopefully accounting for outliers by dropping both the highest 5% and the lowest 5% of prices.

>>410058
Except that it's still a 31-year low for the £, and this happened the day after May pulled that deadline for triggering Article 50. Except this has now given even more power to the EU, who won't give us a good deal (if they did, that'd give other countries an incentive to leave) and it's not like any of the good negotiators we have in Britain want to get involved in this shit anyway.

Of course, if May does trigger this bullshit without Parliament's consent, or without getting the okay from Scotland and Ireland, it's entirely possible that the EU will turn around and go "You didn't do this according to the guidelines of your constitution, so go fuck yourself." But she's too busy getting metaphorically sucked off by all the right-wing papers to pay attention to facts.

>>410099

In fairness, he’s right. If Barack Obama was the one to have said those things, his approval ratings would reach Dubya levels. Why? Because it's not what we expect from Barack Obama. It's not consistent with our vision of Obama, regardless of how we feel about his politics. But Trump? We know Trump is a philandering womanizer—or likes to think he is—and a sexist, self-absorbed, egomaniacal dickhead, so “grab them by the pussy” isn’t an inconsistency, but another “Trump being Trump” moment. Anyone who already hated Trump will keep hating him more, and anyone who already liked Trump will keep liking him regardless.

The real issue here is whether people on the fence about Trump see this as the moment where he lost their vote. Especially women. Without women voting for him, Trump has no chance to win the election—and casual, flippant remarks about what sounds like sexual assault in addition to all the horrible things he’s said about women won’t help him win over female voters. Neither will his attacks on Bill Clinton: Slick Willie’s not running, and if we’re supposed to hold Hillary “responsible” for Bill’s actions somehow, that line of logic says Trump’s wife should be held responsible for The Donald’s actions, and I don’t think he wants to go there.

>>410102

And that “save the Senate” mission will not be easy, given how much of Trump’s stank has dribbled down to the rest of the GOP. No matter what Republican senators do in regards to their support of Trump, they’re going to lose votes; they just have to figure out which demographic—the GOP base or women in general—they want to alienate.

Like I don't disagree that the republican's are by and large cowardly shits that believe a lot of the same garbage as Trump does and just are more coherent about it BUT

BUT

if they're willing to break ranks and bring the party down for an election to keep the country from Trump? Good, that is an important act of national solidarity (much like the french socialists withdrawing and telling their members to vote liberal to block the right wing)... or cowardice and pragmatism combing to try and salvage themselves individually and the party as a whole from this.

Really? I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on this, but... these are your examples?

All of those countries are more isolationist than the UK, and they're all rather well off in comparison.

In fact Japan is probably in the top two or three most xenophobic countries in the world, their immigration is ridiculously strict and they have trucks with megaphones going through the streets shouting nationalist slogans.

They are one of the most major exporters of goods and culture in the world, and they make a lot of their money from tourism. Japan has a xenophobic culture, but they aren't stupid enough to harm their economic prospects over the fact that they hate every other country in Asia and look down on every other country in the world.

Unlike the UK, which has proven itself to be the very personification of cutting off your nose to spite your face. "Hey everyone, let's massively insult most of our biggest trade partners and make it more work for the trade partners we don't insult to make trade deals with us and still expect to have as much money coming in."

And when was that, 1953? Britain depends on being part of the Single Market, because it's a really good thing to be part of. Britain didn't join the EEC and the Single Market until it was "the sick man of Europe", and it's heavily dependent on foreign companies operating within its borders. If a hard Brexit happens, they'll just piss off.

Actually decolonization kicked in during the 1918 with the conclusion of the first world war.

And UK was a world power until 1973, when it joined EU and promptly started being crushed economically, politically and militarily.

By 1980s the UK was a non-entity to the point where they struggled to fight a country the size of Argentina, by 1990 other NATO members complained that UK wasn't pulling its weight, and in the 2000s it can't even control its borders.

So yeah... EU wasn't a good thing for UK.

Also "raping a third of the planet" is a gross misunderstanding of colonialism.

Yeah Ryan has entirely abandoned the presidency, he and probably most of the GOP core are now focusing entirely on the downballot, this election is hilarious.

>Wasn't it explained to you that wasn't the case?

Excpet that is the case. His calls for regular individual citizens to visit polling stations and “watch” for in-person voter fraud (a form of election fraud so statistically rare that winning the Powerball is more likely to happen) is dangerously close to calling for voter intimidation. The way he asks his supporters to visit “certain places” where he thinks voter fraud will happen so the election won’t be “rigged” reeks of him telling his supporters to “visit” polling stations in districits/cities/neighborhoods where non-whites make up a majority of the population. And I’ll remind you of two things: in-person voter fraud is a horrible way to “rig” an election, and each individual state already employs official poll watchers (which makes Trump’s whole request pointless). But please, tell me how Trump’s calls for his majority-white support base to visit “certain places” and “watch” for “voter fraud” isn’t a thinly-disguised call for voter intimidation. G’head.

And if you could prove Obama or anyone in his administration did that, we’d all be having a different conversation right now, but you can’t, so we’re not.

>a form of election fraud so statistically rare that winning the Powerball is more likely to happen
Well if it's so rare then you have nothing to worry about.

>>410173

It’s not the non-existent voter fraud I’m worried about; rather, I worry about the Trump supporters emboldened to harass people at polling stations, all thanks to Trump’s “vigilante poll watchers” idea. In-person voter fraud is rare enough that it has absolutely no chance of swaying an election. But voter intimidation, especially by Trump supporters who might do more than just “observe” if they actually try to be vigilante poll watchers, can do the trick if enough people are intimidated into either voting for a specific candidate or not voting at all.

I would openly repudiate Hillary Clinton if she called for vigilante poll watchers to watch “certain areas”. Why won’t you do the same for Trump?

>I'll allege the author of being a child molesting cop murderer who single-handedly funds islamic state, and he can't say shit.

Except he can: “Where is your proof?” Thanks to both Trump talking about sexual assault on the Access Hollywood tape and the accusations of rape/sexual assault that have been tossed Trump over the years (hey doesn’t he have a case before a court where he’s accused of at least groping a 13-year-old girl?), calling Trump an “alleged sex offender” has at least some plausibility behind it.

Calling Bill a rapist and Hillary a rape victim abuser doesn't have plausibility.

It has CERTAINTY.

>>410193

And…how does that change Trump’s circumstances, again?

>>410192
You are the same two idiots as ever.

>But they don’t control Trump, which they are currently learning to their great misery. And the reason the GOP doesn’t control Trump is that they no longer control their base. The GOP trained their base election cycle after election cycle to be disdainful of government and to mistrust authority, which ultimately is an odd thing for a political party whose very rationale for existence is rooted in the concept of governmental authority to do. The GOP created a monster, but the monster isn’t Trump. The monster is the GOP’s base. Trump is the guy who stole their monster from them, for his own purposes.

THAT'S the tactic you guys are going with?

>>410215
its not a tactic, it's a honest question.

>>410217
no it isnt you utterly transparent idiot

Low value on your currency is good when your economy is in shambles because it encourages foreign investment in your currency. However it reduces domestic buying power--so for example a weak dollar means Americans can't buy as much, but rich French people can buy American goods on the cheap.

Low valued currency is a good safety net for a poor economy, reducing the length of recession periods (for example, if Greece had never started using the Euro, they would be doing much better now because of the reduced value on the Drachma), but when the currency is healthy it causes the economy to trend toward a recession rather than away from it.

>>410211
Prestige and dick waving, it's never good to have a high currency. Low currency in relation to neighbors means lower cost of living, lower labor costs, cheaper exports and so on. Which is why China is a world power at the moment.

He's free to hold an opinion about the rates of in-person voter fraud. Doesn’t mean it’s supported by facts, though. If you actually have evidence of in-person voter fraud being a more than a near-literal one-in-a-hundred-million occurence in any given election, now would be the time to point that out.

Otherwise, there are two things you need to know: In-person voter fraud is incredibly rare, and voter ID laws are often designed only to address that specific type of electoral fraud.
