Complete and utter malarkey. ONE mainstream network went after Obama, Foxnews, some of it unwarranted Political tripe, some of it valid.  Meanwhile ALL of the remaining mainstream networks suppor

@VMFA187 Did a great job of raising important questions and issues, let me try to calmly pitch in because I simply don't understand how a rationale person agrees with much of what Biden has done AND m

@SurelySerious  Dude, up to this post you have 7 of the 9 posts on this page.  I suggest an internet break.

And with that suggestion, I'm done with this thread.  Memes and movie quotes are great in the WTF and Boobs and beer threads but are absurdly shallow and usually grossly inaccurate for actual conversations.

Now, I'm off to go buy more stocks since the sale keeps getting better.

Just curious how many Twitter links back to back can a member post with zero comment and no value added to the forum before it's determined to be spam?

When Trump adds value, let me know. Otherwise, I’ll keep pointing out how asshat Trump and his supporters are going to get us AOC 2028 with this utter stupidity.

What's the issue exactly? @SurelySerious has been a contributor here for as long as I can remember and is clearly not a spammer. The posts are all on topic, and the only response you've been able to put together is downvoting all of them, which is even less value added than the admittedly large amount of twitter copypasta. If you disagree, maybe put together a coherent defense of this tariff clown show and a real conversation can be had. Until then, remember this isn't reddit so we don't go whining to the mods when someone has opinions we don't like.

Update on your Vietnam tariff discussion:

Yeah, I’m sure you are aware that Vietnam right now has an effective tariff rate of about 1%, right? Huge winning getting that reduced.

You are one of the biggest propaganda echo chamber enjoyers.

This whole "no taxation without representation" thing seems to be extraordinarily poorly thought through.  The President is an elected official representing the entire US, so if he decides to implement tariffs, what part of that is "without representation"?  There are plenty of things to complain about with tariffs, but trying to claim that it is taxation without representation seems to me to be willful ignorance of the worst type.

Representation has generally meant the Congress, which is my argument. These powers should not run unchecked for any administration, much like the War Powers Act.

I have no need to defend anyone. This isn't a partisan critique. If there were MAGA dudes posting nothing more than twitter posts back to back I'd call them out as well. This isn't twitter. If you want to post something relevant to the topic from another site then fine, but posting screenshots multiple times in a row and nothing else is spam. Period.

Unfortunately you voted for the whole circus, not just the elephants. All the other acts are queuing up Newsom/AOC 2028.

Worked for him when I was in CYBERCOM. Good dude, mostly good ideas and really cared about the mission and the people. His bad idea(s) were trying to solve a problem he was put in, and the didn't ever take effect.

I can't speak on the CSAF, CNO, VCSAF getting fired with a personal anecdote. But Haugh knew his shit, was a cyber "operator" (stop laughing), and cared about his people.

This is a massive loss for warfighing in the "new" domain. And if this is because he wouldn't co-sign splitting up NSA and CYBERCOM then whoever replaces him to do that is setting back our capes at minimum a decade, if not more.

If this dude got bounced because Laura Loomer...wtf is even this administration. Holy shit, is this real life?

Arguing with a stranger on the Internet is one thing. Arguing with a stranger who just posts other people's arguments from Twitter is pointless and boring. This website is interesting because it's a relatively small number of people engaging in discussion over a wide range of topics. You are able to build and recall personalities for the different posters here because of it. 

 

But when someone just posts a Twitter post, crosses their arms, and says "what about what this person said," now it's not a semi-personal discussion, it's the exact type of anonymous, non-continuous bickering on the internet that has turned so many people into basket cases and rageaholics. 

 

I don't care that he's a regular poster, he has become value-add of zero since his goal morphed from trying to prove his point to trying to win by showing how many random blue check Twitter posters agree with him. He can take that shit to Twitter if that's his interest. There are actually interesting people here who want to debate their point of view. He's not one anymore.

Hah! Refute the points.
