If you believe this forum to be so useless, why do you bother posting comments here, particularly this boring claptrap so common to the internet? Try engaging someone instead of these mini-monologues. I&#039;m sure you enjoy writing them (which may be the answer to my first question), but that&#039;s about as far as they go.]]></description>

Yes, indeed, if you still think there is an ideological difference between Rachel Maddow, then the conversation truly does speak for itself. The only difference is Maddow hasn&#039;t experienced widespread deplatforming in the wake of her tinfoil hat conspiracy theories. The only backlash she&#039;s received has come in the form of precipitously declining ratings.

What sort of discussion do you expect to have? An echo chamber where 100% of your statements get validated? The answer, as always, appears to be yes.

It&#039;s sad to say, but in 2019, saying you get your political analysis from Youtube is an edgy act of rebellion. Even though Youtube props up the legacy liars (CNN, MSN, Fox) the anti-establishment still shines through.  The fact that a neckbeard in his/her basement can command as large of an audience as CNN doesn&#039;t speak highly for your much-esteemed normie news, does it?  How many more will get the pink slip well in advance of the Christmas bonus?

I would think you&#039;d know about &quot;Rules for Radicals&quot; though. Even though Saul Alinsky is broadly associated with the Left, these days it&#039;s far more common to hear references from him on rightwing media, which of course, to the nu-Left, is nothing more than &quot;antisemitic dogwhistles&quot;. But then, isn&#039;t everything?]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Have you thought that you may be guilty of that which you are accusing your enemies of?&lt;/blockquote&gt;This Pee Wee Herman style retort is something Big K uses and I don&#039;t see the purpose except to cause the other person to become defensive and derail the discussion. 



I&#039;ve never heard of &quot;Rules for Radicals&quot; so I can&#039;t comment. You get your current events insight from YouTube videos and you can&#039;t see any difference between Rachel Maddow and Alex Jones. I think that is enough said.]]></description>

Any good father will defend his child against false accusations.

what interviews has Biden &quot;shirked&quot;? 

&quot;what were his qualifications outside of &quot;Biden&quot;?&quot;

He is a lawyer.  He previously served on the board of directors for Amtrak as well as World Food program USA.  He has experience as a venture capitalist.  what qualifications do you think he needed to have to be on that board of directors?]]></description>
