But that is not the story here. This isn't about Sarah Jeong. This is about The New York Times. And that was the subject of my post. This so called "newspaper of record" hired someone who made racist comments. She said “kill more men” and “kill all the men”. She made anti police comments. The Times not only hired her but defended her as did many left wing publications. I don't know about you but I think we have crossed a line here. Quote:

Can former president Obama be the VP?
I see Biden and Bernie running against President Trump in the 2020 election which will probably start in just three more months after the 2018 mid term elections. So I was just wondering if Obama could make a come back via the VP route? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...D=ansmsnnews11 Quote:

The alt-right internet mobs are attacking left-leaning celebrities with their own jokes. Oh the irony.
I see that this is completely lost on you. The far right has come out of its holes and spreads hate and violence all over the 'net and you tell me you are worried "where the left is going"? Some seems to have completely lost their mind! This new right bull has become socially accepted, even here. Anyone remember Takeda, and when and why he left? I tell you something, if i lived in the US i would now indeed get me a gun for defense, or leave. Here, read some stuff, and then tell me what you would answer if they threaten to kill you. http://boards.4chan.org/pol/ And you should read this, instead of Fox News, Breitbart and The daily caller, which all have zero acceptance outside of the US. https://www.inverse.com/article/4775...ng-sarah-jeong But Republican political figures like Mike Huckabee has leveraged this new supposed anti-white threat to further attack the “fake news media” and support President Donald Trump, who would surely love an opportunity to paint The New York Times as hypocritical. Right wing sites like The Daily Caller and Breitbart News have seized on “reverse racism” with delight. Trolls continue to harass Jeong, and other accounts in defense of her. With any luck, the internet will become acquainted enough with 4chan trolls that it can dismiss their scare tactics before it gets sucked under."

Yes - that's the old / new fashion.
The Nazis and fascists are reaching for power again. This not only affects the US, here in Europe we also have various movements that actually seem threatening. Trump is a narcissistic sociopath - a racist and demagogue. However, he does not belong to the typically intelligent sociopaths, rather he acts as if he had a stroke three times a day. Hence my excitement and my extreme demeanor on this topic. Anyone, such as Trump, who tramples on "democracy" must not be allowed to hide behind its laws. Such people belong differently... treated "appropriately". |

And they have become increasingly violent. It's ok to punch a nazi. Well maybe in some countries but not in a Democracy with a rule of law. Antifa has become the thug army of the left. Dressed in black and wearing masks the anti- fascists have become the fascists. Yea I am worried and you should be too. Quote:

No. No one can be vice president who is intelligible for the office of president. Obama is no longer illegible as he was already elected and served two full terms.

"The issue at hand was the political correctness, or lack thereof, of Jeong’s tweets, which openly mocked white people. But what the conversation has largely failed to take into account is the fact that the situation was precipitated by an alt-right trolling campaign that has target other liberal-leaning media and entertainment figures who have come under fire recently for past social media offenses. And that in itself is more worrisome than any series of tweets." Yes, it indeed is about mocking the right and those who vomited their alt-right-wing bile in all these forums. And the thing is that she for once just used all this hate speech jargon all those right wingers heaped upon her, and which is so en vogue among the 'right' since Trump became president. Make no mistake, the whole world has been witness as to what has happened since then, and i would not blame it on the left. This is direct Trump hate speech, spreading everywhere, and of course triggering reactions. For Trump anything non alt-right is "left" and open to smear and hate, from neutral to liberal to common sense. This is why someone should stand up and call a spade a spade. That anyone who is not on the alt-right side suddenly feels molested and attacked, and now bites back shocks you? What the hell do you expect, all suddenly shut up and listen to, and believing in, Fox News? This is an attack against intelligence, common sense, taste, logic and science. This is not about the left once more, it is about everyone's reaction with an open mind and common sense being attacked by this unconcealed, blunt and brazen racism. The US is not alone with it of course, we see it in Poland, Hungary, Romania, Germany and other countries. Quote:
Coming to my accusation of you would applaud Sheong if she had written this in Fox News about black people, i take that back. Sorry.

Marx for president. Another misunderstood "lefty" who was not left at all.
"Every election is sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods." - "Democracy is a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses." - Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good." - H.L. Mencken In the end, states are just plundering syndicates basing on the law of the jungle and the law of the strongest, run by the stronger mob who declares it his "right" to steal and to blackmail. Politicians are just the parasites who make the rest of the mob rally around their flag. "Every decent man is ashamed of the govenrment he lives under." - H.L. Mencken

The EU has already made clear it will not support the withdrawal, or support/follow the sanctions, or impose their own.
Companies being affected by US bans will be protected as UK's minister for the Middle East already said. Some german companies like Daimler-Benz have indeed stepped back from dealing with Iran. That said, i have my own opinion about this.. this Iran deal was non-binding, and Obama essentially paved the way for Trump to withdraw from it. So technically Trump does not rip apart a real deal, since the latter never existed. But even with a deal, Trump could have unilaterally withdrawn from it, this has already been done numerous times before, by other US presidents. (b.t.w. here is a list of treaties that have been broken, or never ratified by the US) I am not sure how far Iran's influence and molesting Israel goes, maybe the idea of forcing Iran to its knees works out.. but first this has to be done mercilessly for quite a while (speaking of 20+ years), and second as usual it is the civilians who already have to suffer, not the clerical government.
