Is it unheard of for an incumbent president to have to go into another primary in his second term election? Depending on how consistent Trump is with his behavior, I can see the GOP wanting someone to topple him and Jeb seems like the perfect person. Trump's childish insults of low energy and attacking his wife would only damage him at that point.
You posted this ironically, right?
Not everyone things Trump is a saint, but I don't see anyone in the Republican party atm going against him and winning next primary. At least not right now. We've got a long 4 years.

Allowing a white nationalist to speak about how whites are the superior race and that we should kick immigrants out is not a productive "two way" street at all though. People shouldn't NEED to hear that kind of message because nothing productive comes out of it. It's fascism.
Delete your account.
Hate speech should not be tolerated. It's toxic. Anyone who thinks free speech = say whatever you want without punishment, is stupid. There are limits. And that's just talking with the government. People don't have to put up with it even more so.

There are more effective ways to deal with the Cartel/drug lords in Mexico, and I can assure you that the US Military is not one of them. That's a lot of numbers, and the military is mainly used for two things.

1. Invading and taking out the resistance of said places in a big push

2. Occupying said land

Now Mexico is not so destabilized as to send an occupying force in big numbers like that. It needs to be more spec ops kinda operations where there are small numbers, people intel gather, and they hit hard. That's the best way to deal with that kinda stuff.

So basically, you need to Tom Clancy's Seige it.

I should also add if these people legit got violent and broke stuff, it sort of invalidates their entire stance on being against him, because they look like the monsters, and he doesn't.

tbh I don't really agree with this. They got done what they wanted accomplished, and as long as they didn't hurt anyone and stand accountable for their crimes, I'd say they were pretty effective.
No it's just. People will focus on the things they messed up and not the thing they were protesting, and it just helps paint them in a bad light.

It's exactly why people like MLK and Gandhi never did such things.
Gandhi was a racist and MLK was a Christian.
Yet they still protested peacefully and had a good cause to rally behind.

Also, idk why MLK being Christian suddenly makes him bad.
that was the joke
Oh

The difference between his quote and what's going on today though is that there is a huge vocal resistance to the beliefs of the Alt-Right. Allowing Milo to speak isn't humbling accepting his beliefs and offering no resistance. Especially since he would be in a location full of people who are more than willing to verbally attack him and his beliefs (and from the looks of it, do more than just verbal-attacks). Free Speech is a two way street and Milo doesn't have a shield from comments against him.

The point of this btw is that there were many apologists in Germany at the time going "oh free speech isn't bad", and many didn't take what he said seriously.

The moral of the story is that free speech should not = 100% unadulterated content, because a lot of the stuff you say, MUCH of which is fascism these days, is horrible and toxic, and a lot of people start believing and following this stuff.

Because we as humans have an innate trait to want to explore and dare to dream bigger
Maybe that's not always a good thing. Maybe it's smarter to think things through logically, rather than allow your innate, carnal, ego-driven, materialistic desires own you.
Oh I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing with you, since I know we'd go into a huge debate (which is honestly not a bad thing), and I don't really have the time to spend on it. As in, busy days and such.

Just giving you a reason.

Honestly, Its all good. Keep this stuff up and Trump will win 45+ states in 2020.
I'm not so sure. A huge reason Hillary lost (aside from the obvious with her) is because complacency by Democrats and the media playing it up like Trump had no chance of winning, so people didn't go out to vote.

If anything, Trump's making people more involved with politics and realizing they should do more than just vote for President. So that's good I guess? People actually following and caring about what their leaders do is always a good thing. On both sides of the isle, honestly.

Here it is

"Only one danger could have jeopardized this development – if our adversaries had understood its principle, established a clear understanding of our ideas, and not offered any resistance. Or, alternatively, if they had from the first day annihilated with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement." - Adolf Hitler

The left riots because they want to take the first amendment away from a gay, legal immigrant.

Oh good, I get to use this again.



Didn't know burning down a Wells Fargo bank is a form of "criticism". Learn something new every day.

I'm glad that's the message you took, and certainly not the message that Milo's free speech isn't being violated ::)
I don't know why you bother with him when he literally admitted he'll be a brick wall, regardless of if facts prove him wrong.

You're right. I'm totally the one in the wrong here. Sorry I can't defend intentional rioting to suppress a GAY, IMMIGRANT from speaking.
You act like him being gay and an immigrant suddenly grants him immunity from the harmful shit he says. I need to find a quote by a controversial figure to help strengthen my argument, so let me go digging.

the factions are pretty shit too

only one with any effort put into it is the BoS and they're not even that great in the game

hey guys remember ATOM CATS. hahaha nukes. that's what it's all about
I don't mind the BoS in this one. They actually have negative issues with them like the others did, and are the best bet for the Commonwealth. Everyone else is just horribly underwritten or thrown illogically into situations.

Sure there is. We could mine other planets, asteroids, moons. Discover new things. Maybe find life. And the future of humans depends on colonizing other planets.
Why is the "future of humans" important? Why do you care about that? Why do we have to colonize anything?

We're more technologically behind on space travel than we were in the 70's due to none of the blueprints being saved. I had a long talk with my astronomy teacher about it.

It's honestly really fucking depressing.
How so? We can do the same stuff we did back then right now, and more. It's all a matter of money.
No, we can't. Engineers today literally do not understand how they made the Saturn V rockets due to the plans being lost over time via shut downs and what not. They have an idea, but blueprints are gone. Last I checked they had to call the engineers in from the Apollo program to help them build their recent rocket or whatever it was.

Fuck. Well. We do have places like SpaceX. They want to put people on Mars before 2030 I think. And they've been making good progress. Landings have been made and they even re supplied ISS.
I read that as ISIS

Yeah we're working towards it, it's just horribly depressing that we as humans have literally regressed in terms of spacefare.

Few things to take away from this

1. Trump is really trying to push Mexico's buttons with his way of talking to him

2. Threatening to invade an ally nation, especially a border one, isn't really all that good. Total War taught me as much.

3. The Mexican President has a lot of patience. I wonder how far he'll be pushed.
