Re: Colbert takes the gloves off on Trump
President Trump is not the problem, he is a problem, or more accurately a symptom. I would have much the same diagnosis if Clinton was President. The only difference is that just my pants would be on fire and not also my hair.clubgop wrote:Ok chicken little, SJW. "Like literally Hitler won, you guys."

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, maybe Clinton, and maybe Biden. This is the last round of WH bingo at the DNC old folks home.
The economy is going into a recession, probably a severe one, this Summer/Fall, the Federal government is losing the ability to function, and we are a 9/11-Reich stag Fire from full on police state.
If I was handicapping the next elections, I would beyond the conventional.

Oh no, we're in 1967, maybe a little earlier.Smitty-48 wrote:Oh please, Carter was a bigger socialist than Bernie Sanders, the amount of Leftist kookery that the people were willing to consider back in 1976, is far beyond anything Sanders proposed, heck, Nixon was practically a Sanders, Sanders is just slightly Left of Richard Single Payer Public Healthcare Nixon, and as for Trump, he's basically the Gipper all over again, the only difference is, the Gipper harkened back to the Good ol' Days of the 1950's, whereas Trump is invoking the Good ol' Days of the Gipper, in the 1980's.jbird4049 wrote:

Basically, you're just living in a post Ronald Reagan/Newt Gingrich America, in the 1970's, America was a kooky basket case, the seventies, maaaan, it was crayzee, maaaan.
People think of the Sixties as being the hippie dippie decade, but that shit didn't actually start until the end of 68', most of the Sixties was actually high and tight like the Marine Corps, the Seventies, maaan, that was the real hippie dippie decade.
And Richard Milhouse Nixon would be accused of being a Socialist, maybe a Communist, today, which is silly. And you're right. Sanders is a Democratic Socialist, but too many think of him as some kind of Marxist.
I am going by today's unmoored politics. The '60s political institutions, its economy was much better then than it is now. The foundations of the country been so degraded that it can't support the country during even modest shakes.

A "Democratic Socialist" is just a cowardly faux Marxist, doesn't have the courage of his convictions, any socialist worth their salt, would have all the bourgeois "Democratic Socialists" lined up against a wall and shot.jbird4049 wrote:Sanders is a Democratic Socialist, but too many think of him as some kind of Marxist.

You're just an internetz nonsense blubbering faux leftist college boy, the only difference between now and the 1960's, is that in the 1960's, you wouldn't have had the internet, and so we'd all be down at the pool hall right now, at which point, you would be getting the shit beat out of you for being a dirty Red.
Nowadays you could probably call the cops and have us arrested for that, but back in the 1960's, we would have called the cops, and then they would have come down and laid an even worse beating on you for being a dirty Red.

Re: Colbert takes the gloves off on Trump
Smitty is there a particular reason that you haven't started a podcast of your own or a radio show? I don't even agree with you on a lot of stuff, but I think it would be pretty funny hearing these kinds of diatribes in audio form. If you set it up on Patreon and linked it to the people on this forum, I would probably throw you a few bucks per month and try to advertise via word of mouth. You could call Smitty's Military History or something...Smitty-48 wrote:A "Democratic Socialist" is just a cowardly faux Marxist, doesn't have the courage of his convictions, any socialist worth their salt, would have all the bourgeois "Democratic Socialists" lined up against a wall and shot.jbird4049 wrote:Sanders is a Democratic Socialist, but too many think of him as some kind of Marxist.

Re: Colbert takes the gloves off on Trump
The listeners could write in like on R. Lee Ermey's mail call, with questions about various military battles or they could ask him political questions to see his response. I think this has the potential to cater to a very strong niche demographic. Namely, the kind of people who post on this forum.GrumpyCatFace wrote:I actually agree.
