The president of the United States did not blackmail anybody.


The former president was the most anti-law president in US history.

No cities have been burned. Kamala Harris has done nothing racist that I am aware of. Considering how many popular things the Democrats are accomplishing, and likely to accomplish through budget reconciliation alone despite Republican obstruction, the midterms might go well for them.

Are you okay?

Probably referencing Iowa or Colorado? Both states are not representative of what is happening in the rest of the US, nor will the experiences there inform or shape most of the developments in the rest of the US.

Apart from that Biden pretty much said eff you to social progressives over and over again -

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/note-progressives-put-biden-warning/story?id=71280330

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/13/politics/biden-economic-social-policies-congress/index.html

Where he is lauded for progressive politics most is - for starting spending programs into a deficit, to get out of the crisis.
https://archive.is/PoI9b


So some people here are still reading BS - designed to split the country in two, spreading false, very simplified "thruth", that on closer inspection turn out to be lies, designed to rile up people emotionally. Also with the usual role reversal, where Harris becomes "racist" against white folks (?).

BS, all of it. But you eat it up like it was breakfast cereal.

BLM protests waned already, with the only felt impact from them being police reform ( https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...protests-but-is-waning-among-white-americans/ ).

No likely long lasting major impact on attitudes. Even the protests themselves never reached the level of 'major statewide' protests past the first week, and outside of one or two states (past the first week). (watch the Zeihan videos in the "everything explained" thread for actual numbers, sorry that I cant be more concise.)

The kids are still in the cages
(CNN)The number of unaccompanied minors in US Customs and Border Protection custody, akin to jail-like conditions, has dropped 45%, according to the latest government data, amid an ongoing effort by the Biden administration to find suitable spaces to accommodate kids after facing scrutiny for overcrowded facilities.

Trying to fix the damage that Trump caused in the first place. Not too fast, mind you... Public image and costs... Dont want more of them...

I have a feeling all the off-topic of the last several pages is controlled opposition. SMF, Xzi, and monkeyboy were all on the same side at the start of this thread, and now they have been going on for pages arguing what arguably has nothing to do with this thread. And if it's not controlled opposition, it might just be a reflection of today's far-left followers, where as soon as one of their own start to step out of line, they gang up on the individual.

This thread really beautifully illustrates which side the bullying is coming from. It is clear to see one side who does their best to have a civil conversation, and then there is the other side that is always condescending and down right rude.

This some biased bullshit right there if I've ever seen some. Are you fucking BLIND? Or do you just choose to intentionally skip over the hateful shitposts from those on your own side of the fence? Gtfo of here with that garbage.

C'mon I even counterbalanced with "they are showing little urgency". Here is how news work. You release statistics. Journalism checks if those sound propper and releases. If journalism is wrong on factual stuff, and people catch it, there is a big scandal, and journalism has to do rounds of mea culpa, mea culpa. So in essence - you usually dont create falsifiable figures on parts of the government that are checkable, by a journalist talking to an NGO and asking them if, they sound about right.

So at this point, you arent trusting government, you arent trusting CNN, experts (probably from the NGO field), you arent...

On one of the plainest non achievement achievements there is, of a figure reduction of less than 50%. Which in itself hardly is an achievement.

You are spelling out "ideology trumps facts" at this point and "I only trust me blog news". On reporting stuff like figures that didnt even make headline news, journalism usually is still quite alright. No campaign there, no entity that has an interest in fudging those numbers (not even the government, because if they are caught here - there is nothing to earn but moral outrage - rightfully so btw) - except you who are overly suspicious about those set of numbers in particular, because of an internet argument you made.

Chances that you are right here - are slim.

They probably did reduce the number by about 50% by now. And the remaining 50 is still a disgrace - because if you werent fixated on public perception you could make this a priority - and probably change their situation in a day.

Here is another prime example of bullying, condescending, and rudeness. If you have any example of the other side doing such things, please share them and enlighten us all. I'll wait...

Here is another prime example of 100% pure hypocrisy. This entire thread is literally littered with them. Like I said, obvious selective reading. Fact. I don't need to prove anything as it's all RIGHT THERE. I've proven it before to others, no need to once again just because someone else is arrogant and refuses to see past their own goal posts. Your poor and tired attempts at trying to turn the table have also already been tried by many others that are like minded with yourself. Doesn't work. Edit: And before you come in with some "tolerant liberal" comment (which we both know is what your comments regarding this are all about), why do I have to be tolerant to lies and hypocrisy? Answer = I don't. But you're expecting and wanting me to. I know exactly how your side of the fence works, and exactly what you're trying to do. Not happening with me, bud.

So no proof, not even an attempt? Just prejudice and down talking? I don't want anything from you, and I don't owe you anything. Just sharing my thoughts civilly. You can do the same, or not. Doesn't matter.

Taking a page from Tabbys book, huh? Like I said, your cheap tactics aren't going to work with me. I already gave you proof. This entire thread. That's ALL the proof you need. Are you wanting me to quote pages and pages and pages worth of comments - including those that have been removed by mods? Bad faith requests, another Tabby tactic. Clap clap. Try reading the entire thing, rather than only the parts you choose. Both sides have been bullying, condescending, and rude. Do you think the mods would be deleting posts from BOTH if only one of them have been doing the things you describe? Have you read the reasons for all of the post removals from your own side of the fence? For you to be so incredibly one sided on cold, hard facts just proves my points about you. Like I said, gtfo of here with your hypocritical bullshit.

@D34DL1N3R is correct in this instance, foul behaviour has been observed on both sides of the aisle, civil behaviour is expected of both the supporters and opponents of the current administration. At this rate, I don't know if we're all going to survive the next four years - I might get an aneurysm reading all the pointless drivel for years on end. It would be nice if we could all get along and discuss the issues instead of pointing fingers, I don't think a debate about who's the "biggest bully" in the thread is productive in any shape or form. This is not a playground for school children, the participants are (presumably) all grown adults, so "bullying" isn't high on the long list of concerns in regards to this thread. Any and all violations of community standards will be addressed as they come up.

    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.

    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways

    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
