Went down this rabbit hole watching the most infuriating videos of leftist college student SJW wankers (seriously low IQ on these ignorant twats) constantly interrupt conservative lecturer guests like Ben Shapiro, Milo Yiannopolous etc.
Didn't realise how obnoxious these people had become. Seriously low intellect hive mind of these people.
In one vid they were chanting "Safety! Safety! Safety!" Safety from what? From conflicting views? What ever is going on in the USA is so damn fascinating and really shines a light on why Trump was voted in. Of course he bloody was. PC culture is so disgustingly out of control - it's now backfired in their fucking faces. We truly do get the leaders we deserve.
Anyway, these whiny idiots have taken a nice big stinking shit on the idea of what it is to be "progressive" or "left". I guess the same way how Rush Limbaugh and Fox News makes the right look like retards too. Oh well.

Lol life long hollywood democrat Trump absolutely raped by hollywood democrats at the golden globes last night, and of course he went on a tweet rampage in the middle of the night because he absolutely cannot stand the fact that so many people in this country hate him now.
He is going to stroke out within a year.

what could have been.
CNN will host town hall with Bernie Sanders Tonight January 9 at 9 p.m. ET

- this was the worse case scenario in my book. prefer a guy who doesn't believe in anything over a devout believer in failed collectivist central planning ideals********
- however trump might push us into a nationalist direction and try to control enterprise just as much as any other "democratic socialist." history has proven********
- it usually is always one sort of collectivist form of socialism vs another collectivism form of socialism. look at italy. best thing ppl can do is not get emo********
- stay rationale and make real arguments against trumps policies. so far this thread gives me no hope.********
- see the kind of "russian" meme's being spread instead of real discourse. all geard at emotion, which trump clearly used best and just helps set course for worse********

Trump’s Extreme Oligarchy
Trump seems determined to lower income taxes for high-income Americans, as well as to reduce capital-gains tax (mostly paid by the well-off) and nearly eliminate corporate taxes (again, disproportionately benefiting the richest). To do this, his administration will seek to increase taxes on others, and now we are beginning to see what this will look like. People close to the president-elect are considering an import tariff, set at around 10%.
This tariff will undoubtedly be presented to the public as a move to make American manufacturing great again. But a tariff is just another name for a tax that increases the costs of all imported goods. This could help a few firms at the margin – and presumably Trump’s team will highlight news stories (real or fake) about a few hundred or even a few thousand jobs being “saved.”
But the cost per job will be high: all imports will become more expensive, and this increase in the price level will filter through to the cost of everything Americans buy. In effect, the oligarchs will reduce direct taxation on themselves and increase indirect taxation on everyone – much like increasing the sales tax on all goods. Under any such proposal, the burden of taxation would be shifted from the better off to those with less income and little or no wealth.
- This makes a good point about Trump's economic proposals. Tariffs could end up playing the same role that sales tax increases have in states run by Republicans,yuekit
- basically a regressive tax targeting the lower and middle class.yuekit
- This is what omg wants to happen. It benefits the people to pay more for everything, raise the cost of living and health, because wealth trickles down and all.monospaced
- Personally, I'm looking forward to exploiting the lower capital gains tax and getting my middle class cut as well. He promised that. Doubt his tariff will work.monospaced

Here's the funny thing about Meryl Streep's speech, even if she was alluding to Trump: It wasn't really a political speech. It was more about common decency, respect for one another, and values we should all strive to in our lives, and that we should expect in others.
The more I keep reading all this stuff, all this vitriol, all this inability of some to see the danger in a person like Trump, I realize we're failing as Americans when people accept the things Streep was speaking about in others, regardless of whether they're in politics or not. These things are like, bare minimum traits we should expect in others.
So, I find it amazing how something so simple gets so politicized, that people draw a line between such basic standards we should hold others to, and ourselves.
It just so happens that she was referring to the person who is going to be president, and the same applies, plus some: the person who holds that position should be held to an even higher standard than we hold ourselves. Every single one of us regardless of political persuasion should demand that of a leader. Their political affiliation is irrelevant.
So here go... four years of arguments and battles over what constitutes decent behavior that has NOTHING to do with politics.
- it was 100% political. if Streep actually cared about bullying disabled people, she would have mentioned those kids who kidnapped and tortured that disabled...********
- .. Trump supporter.********
- so omg what you're saying is that you accept this behavior in Trump and don't believe he should be held to the same standards as anyone over the age of 3?monospaced
- Politics aside you can't really argue that mocking a disabled person is an acceptable act by anyone commanding respect.monospaced
- Those gestures were typical of Trump's quirkiness at the time. It just happened that one reporter he was making fun was disabled with similar characteristics.********
- You can watch him using the same gestures when he talked about Ted Cruz.********

Jared Kushner And The Anti-Nepotism Statute That Might Keep Him From The White House.
Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner was named senior adviser to the president on Monday, an appointment that would further entangle the incoming White House team in a web of potential conflicts of interest and accusations of nepotism.
- haha this is totally like erdogan appointing his son in law as advisor AND ministry of energy. I wonder Erdogan gives him suggestions like this. Fuck you all.Beeswax

"hiring my daughter was not nepotism—it was just good business"

Russia’s richest men, some of whom have close ties to President Vladimir Putin, have gained $29 billion since the election of Donald Trump, thanks to the rising value of Russian stocks and currency.
- that's because of raising of oil price.

Seriously? Is Trump so thin-skinned that even criticism from Meryl Streep triggers a nasty, over-the-top response? What kind of crybaby have Americans elected as their leader?
"Keep Hollywood out of our govment. Actirs should stick to actin" says the stupid as they pray at night to their late great Republican God Reagan who... was a Hollywood actor.
