Fenxis 99 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 It's pretty surprising that so many people are telling Israel where their capital can and cannot be. On the face of it no, who gives a **** where their capital is. On the other hand as Jerusalem is the holy city for 3 major religions... Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Israel has every right to have its capital in Jerusalem and the United States should support that decision in every way - which we were already doing. the embassy is more symbolic than anything, a big fvck you to the ass backwards countries in the middle east who want to wipe the Jewish people out of existence. The United States was extraordinarily derelict in its duties in the early part of the 20th century and Hitler almost succeeded. We need to protect our ally and make sure no one tries it again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tillerson was speaking to soon-to-be-graduates at the time, and he certainly didn't mince his words. He may not have referenced President Trump or any of his aides explicitly, but he could've been speaking in reference to the Trump administration when he warned against the dangers of perpetuating false truth in a society. During the speech, Tillerson spoke of the importance of reinforcing the sanctity of truth within American society, CNN reports. "If our leaders seek to conceal the truth," Tillerson proclaimed, "[Or if] we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom." Tillerson didn't stop there. He continued to remark upon "a growing crisis in ethics and integrity," NBC News reports, adding, "[if] we the People go wobbly on the truth...we go wobbly on America." He was probably talking about stuff like this: https://www.dailywire.com/news/30747/media-goes-overdrive-lying-about-trumps-animal-ryan-saavedra?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=062316-podcast&utm_campaign=mattwalsh\ Link to post Share on other sites

Is not meeting with NK fascism? Is mentioning that he's being targeted negatively by 90% of the media fascism? Because I'm seeing a lot of words thrown around about Trump (racist, fascist, EMOLUMENT CLAUSE!, Hilter, Literally!, Nuclear Warmonger, etc), but the only thing I'm witnessing is smoke, mirrors, and fear.

Yes, I'm talking about Trump, but not about anything you mentioned. It's about his insistence on forced patriotism concerning the anthem kneeling. Forced patriotism is the actual definition of fascism. GET EM LOOGIE Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 this article fairly articulates my views on this issue. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/opinion/conservatives-fail-the-nfls-free-speech-test.html though i think it's a tad hyperbolic to compare trump's stance on this to actual fascism.

loogie 115 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It's like the old saying: If it looks like a duck. And quacks like a duck. I think it's a tad hyperbolic to call it a duck. The likelihood of Trump knowing what fascism is, is close to nil. He just likes hurting the NFL since his USFL days and because they wouldn't let him have an NFL team a few years ago. Also, he's a little racist. This is pandering to his base, but in a undeniably fascist way (as long as you believe in the dictionary as a reliable source.) No one likes being called a fascist, even if they are. Is it Diet Fascism? Perhaps. But drink enough Diet Fascism and you're still gonna end up a fat-ass fascist with holes in your teeth.

Murphy @JGodiasMurphy 18h18 hours ago American manufacturers are painfully aware that, due to new tariffs, they are paying nearly 50% more for steel than their European and Chinese competitors.
