Happy birthday to president D. J. Trump! A true patriot!

The gall needed to say something like that... Unbelievable!

I would hope so, but the MSM brainwashing is relentless, and people are gullible with very short memory.

Perhaps they're counting on it. Perhaps the idea behind it is to provoke the military to step in, and if the Antifaggots are armed, to show how futile would it be to stand up to a "tyrannical" government, and use the resulting shitshow to step on the 2nd amendment. Perhaps that's one of the reasons the national guard is holding back.

It sucks that students are forced to learn this nonsense, but my point still stands. No one is forcing them lo live by it and become rabid SJWs. You take the course, see the shit for what it's worth, and move on. If a student can't remember the course material like 2 days (or hours on some occasions) after the exam, why would this garbage leave a mark?

Ukraine was (and still is) run by corrupt businessmen, but it had always been Russia's puppet. If the western agencies had levers of influence on the government back in 2014, they wouldn't have to support or get involved in the revolution OR let it get this far.

Naturally any spy agency will try to not miss an opportunity to gain influence abroad, but if they were already in, it wouldn't make any sense to make changes.

Why do YOU think Russia invaded Crimea? Do you think it's the same or different reason Russia invaded Georgia to annex Ossetia?

Do you mean the 100 protesters killed during the revolution to overthrow Viktor Yanukovych in 2014? I was actually following that conflict closely, and it was one of the first redpilling moments that opened my eyes on manipulation and lies made by the media.

Once the news about protesters being shot at that day got out, people started collecting and examining the bullets that were used. Those that missed, and those extracted from the injured and dead... Eventually the investigation led to a type of ammunition used solely by a special police unit called Berkut (something like SWAT basically), specifically, their sniper team used rifles imported from Germany, and only they used such ammo. After these news got out on live journal and various Russian speaking media/social media outlets, there was a massive deluge of misinformation. You'd turn the news on and EVERYONE was shooting at those protesters: Georgians, Chechens, the protesters themselves, the Mossad for some reason, fucking aliens even, you name it. (It's like the more recent even of shooting down the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 by the Buk anti aircraft system that Russia brought over its border to intercept Ukrainian ground attack planes in 2018)

Now in this forest of lies it becomes very easy to confuse people that didn't learn about the issue right away, and then insert the "party approved" version of events. I highly doubt that the CIA had anything to do with the revolution back in 2014, but they are a convenient scapegoat for the Russian government. Same as crying that Ukraine is full of these mysterious Ukrainian nazis. The revolt happened because the people were fed up with their absolutely corrupt government that was nothing more than a puppet for Russia. In my opinion the western countries and agencies must've went into Ukraine later on, once the new government was looking for allies against Russia.

Even though I agree with that you've said, I want to ask whether these skewed polls are actually able to achieve the desired effect?

I mean from what I see, (judging from the 2016 election for example) polls showing that Killary is leading by 1000% may have led democrat voters to think "Oh she's gonna win anyway, so i won't have to waste my time going to the polls and vote".

then again this could be my distrust of statistics talking. As in statistics are great and all, but have near zero ability to predict how things are going to turn out in anything but the most controlled systems.

The best move democrats can do is to show Trump leading in every poll just to make Trump voters complacent.

Screw the polls, drag your ass to vote, and drag everyone you know to vote as well.

There's a video on the internet from Dr. Phil's show with a morbidly obese woman, and he lists the amount of food she goes through in one day (30,000 calories). Honestly, I don't understand how people manage it, because just chewing through all that would take an entire work day. Getting this fat requires a great deal of determination.

Yeah and during largely peaceful expansion of Germany, back in 1939-1945, some measly 70-85 million people died. Largely peaceful, except for those few unlucky souls.

I agree, and schools just don't have the means to discipline kids even if the teachers weren't bitter, underpaid, tired of all this shit people.

This is the sad result of our reality (probably in all western world countries) that in low and middle class families, both parents have to work just to support the family, and as the result don't have the time or energy to deal with their children.

Students choose humanitarian courses either so they can get an easy high score, or to meet chicks. No one can make a person turn into a rabid SJW in 13-14 hours. If only universities were this efficient in conveying material... As it stands now, taking even 5 courses in something rarely guarantees that the students learn the subject or even that they would retain it after taking the exam.

That's because colleges are specialized institutions. If you're going to study biochemistry or mechanical engineering, the curriculum isn't going to include geography or economics.

The lack of critical thinking and proper general knowledge is the fault of schools, and parents. Schools - because they are forced to cater to the lowest common denominator, along with being poppy cutters (so the shit students won't get offended by the successful hard working students), and parents thinking their kids will get educated at schools without them putting in any effort.

And I'm glad that sane people find their way to places such as this... An oasis of sorts.

There is a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln:

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

I'm glad that people start realizing the lies they are being fed daily and become critical of the information they receive. I don't mean to say that everything here is absolutely undoubtedly the truth, but at least here an honest discussion can be had without fear of like you said, outrage.

Because the left controls the media it would be easy to turn in into a direction they desire. Plus, a narcissist would just feed on the attention.

So where's the FBI at? Who's job is it to prevent foreign meddling in the US elections?

I'm afraid the media will flip it on its head and twist it into an apology of white people to black people to be in line with all the kneeling nonsense.

I keep saying that democrats or liberals in general appear to speak as if their arguments or the problems they are addressing exist in a vacuum. Right now this may be the best thing to say to appease people if you've just came here from outer space and have no idea what's happening. In the real world, events are tied by causality, and it's something they just fail to understand again and again. That's why every single thing they say contradicts something they've said previously, or will say tomorrow.

I wish people just won't vote such useless shits into office...

I read he was also on drugs and had a heart condition, so it's hard to judge how being all fucked up hinders one's ability to breathe. I also don't quite understand why the cops had to sit on him for longer than like a minute that it takes to slap handcuffs on an uncooperative suspect and fold him into a car...

I have no idea personally, how such things are categorized in medical examiner report professional language vs. how a layman can understand said terminology. It could be a general term.

Does it matter whether the oxygen can't get to the brain by not being able to enter the lungs, or delivered to the brain via blood? It could also be misinterpretation somewhere along the way.

This is what forums are for, and this one especially. At a time where people are afraid of using words, and call everyone they don't like literally Hitler, where else would you go?

Welcome, take a seat, grab a coat. :-)

A person may lose consciousness if blood flow to the brain is obstructed. If the hold somehow applies pressure to the carotid arteries that deliver oxygenated blood to the brain, I suppose that can happen. As for asphyxiation, not sure how that would work out.

Biden will attend whichever event his aides will bring him to. Not like he's gonna remember where he is or why he's there anyway.

Yes Microsoft really needs to make up for the atrocities Bill Gates committed in 1625!

Good thinking, get diversity hires just like Boeing and drive the company into the ground.
