    In the context of the term is being used here, I doubt it.
    But who knows perhaps she will run and be elected president.

    Video here

    Do you really believe he jumped out and punched the guy for no reason? They were banging on the cars and trucks as they passed, calling people names, and that guy didn't appreciate it. Don't condone what he did but it's a bit different to leftist scum who go around beating people and spitting on them JUST because they are wearing a MAGA hat for heaven sake.
    And here's a Trump supporter spitting in someones face

    Well, he's scum too. See, that's what you liberals don't get. Non-liberals have no problem whatsoever condemning far right scum, it's you liberals though that have huge issues condemning scum leftists though. The Antifa thread is the perfect example of liberals defending disgusting abuse and violence. Why don't you just condemn these leftists for spitting in people's faces and stop with the 'Well, the right have killed people' rubbish as if that is something non-liberals support. We don't. Get that into your head. They are all scum too.

    Also, in that video, around 30 seconds in, you'll notice a woman is removed for screaming 'Black power'. Now why is she screaming that? Would a man screaming 'White power' at an Obama rally have been okay to you? Course not and so neither should that. Right after 8 white cops where murdered by two black supremacists too. Glad she was fcuked out.

    Trump's reaction at the start of the clip was class though. He just laughed and said "That's okay, that's okay, don't worry". Gent.

    Whomever is doing the spitting, how are they not arrested? Some kid is getting up to ten years for touching an arm and waist in the UK but in the US you can spit on people?

    Hopefully there is other footage and they track the guy down and charge him.

    Crazy how some of these so called liberals act around those that have the audacity to have a different political view.

    Hmmm, I am not american, so i don't know what you mean by liberal. But I believe in personal liberty and I do not condone violence from anyone, so in that sense perhaps I am the first liberal you have ever met that does not condone leftist(socialism?) or liberal or <insert badly defined political leaning here> violence

    On the contrary, that's why I said "so called liberals" - as clearly they are anything but.

    So, who is calling who, what here? Trumpists calling anyone that disagrees with them 'liberals?' Or libtards? And, who gets to define who is what? I think 'pro-Trump and his policies' and 'anti-Trump and his policies' is a better nomenclature.

    Doesn't get the blood boiling like 'Trumplodyte' or 'reactionary' or 'libtard' though.

    Spitting on ANY person shows just how badly you were brought up. Regardless of what side you are on. It takes an extreme level of entitlement to think you are in the right and that it's acceptable to spit on a person in this day and age. I abhor Antifa but never would I spit on them. It's a ****ing vile thing to do.

    Its true, the use of language in american politics now is a catastrophe, nothing is defined properly so there can be no progress(it's like a math proof with a bunch of gibberish assumptions laid out at the beginning that may or may not be applicable to what you are trying to prove). The result, raw force in opposition and no communication.

    Yeah, it really gets on my tits when people deliberately try to muddle the language. It confuses those who swallow their BS and you end up with 'all of X believe Y' type statements. The existing language uses broad enough brushstrokes to begin with.

    It's a shame the mods in the politics thread removed your post because i would love to have quoted you here.

    You know the one, where you claimed Trump supporters were classy people who would never abuse or spit on someone :rolleyes:

    Hunter needs to step down from all of his sham roles now that the scam has been rumbled. And people will wonder how Joe made all his millions from public service. He must be just canny.

    He’s not the only one.

    You’ve got Pelosi’s son in Ukraine

    Kerry’s step son in Ukraine

    Schiff has a Ukrainian oligarch benefactor

    Then you have all the Congress and Senate career politicians who have been there for decades now multi millionaires.

    No wonder they’re all upset at Trump trying to impeach him.

    Interesting quote from that forbes article:


    "As Forbes reported in April, the Bidens earned $3.1 million during the eight years that Biden served as vice president, while the Obamas hauled in an estimated $10.8 million over the same period."

    As far as I can tell, it's a word to describe people opposed to Trump. So, for example if you're against divorce, against screwing pornstars while your wife's pregnant, against state aid, against tariffs, against lying, against stiffing creditors, against running up the national debt, against fawning over Putin, against undermining the rule of law. you might consider yourself a conservative but apparently that makes you a liberal these days.

    It's not that interesting and people don't really need to wonder.

    The explanation of it is all there.

    Also they both published their tax returns.

    Have you a point or do you just go around musing things are interesting when they really aren't?

    Just kidding: he doesn’t look like he will join after all. Would have had to wait until the end of January 2020 to join Trumps team and he’d then have to register as a lobbyist.

    There are many fine liberals here. But he hatred of a duly elected president by those on the far Left, progressives, and most of the media and has become borderline psychotic. Let me guess… impeachment won’t be enough, and the only way to satisfy their bloodlust is via a public lynching?

    I say seek help… seriously!

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Impeachment and lynching are two different things. Impeachment is a constitutionally granted political process of the legislature in cases where the President may have been guilty of "Treason, Bribery and other high-crimes and misdemeanours". An impeachment inquiry is held to see if the President has a case to answer. It's fairly straight-forward.
