Honestly with a few exceptions most GOP elected women are swamp creatures that look really ugly and are slimy and tone deaf. Wouldn't date one in a million years.
Sexism is good, as long as it’s also partisan!

Perhaps being an incorrigible attention whore should be added to the list of what constitute infractions.  Most of this BS I interpret as a manifestation of desperately seeking attention, and since one cannot do it with gravitas, the only vehicle available is the clown car.

Yes, perhaps you should do something about these posters instead of flinging word salad everywhere.

Sorry, free college is not worth losing the investment in beautifying our colleges. No way. We are America. We have to look the best and internally, compete with each other to be the super-best. There is no point to a German education. I would never.

Given the trends in modern architecture in the last 50 years, we'd probably make them more beautiful by cutting their budgets.

I think Cold War-era college brutalism properly reflects the horrifically dystopian job market that liberal arts graduates will be facing.

Of course this happened in Florida... Anyway, can we denounce this bigot without bringing up "muh leftist indoctrination in education"?
>Condemns sweeping generalizations based on race.
>Makes sweeping generalizations about white Floridians.


Show me where I used the word "white". Or "Floridian" for that matter.

White, no. Florida, absolutely.

I was implying that a lot of messed up things happen in Florida. I wasn't saying that that Floridians themselves are all terrible.
Right, like someone saying Africa is a sh**t hole.

I mainly stay on this board to keep abreast of liberal discourse. The more I do though, the more I realize that it doesn't exist. The entire leftist worldview is summed by sassy gifs and calling people "literal human garbage".

Maybe you should find another hobby. I recommend gardening.

It's fine. The best part was when he reasserted his commitment to organized labor. He could be a major power player for organized labor in Congress if he stays around.

Thats just classless. If you knew what its like to be a child living through a long drawn out divorce (its a living hell) you would feel some sympathy for the kids before making a joke

And another one:


You know what a really annoying part about being a Moderator - I presume anywhere ftr - is that no matter how many times I explain my actions, someone always comes along and posts something that indicates to me that either didn't read a word I said about my actions, or read some and immediately ignored it / did not believe it.

At this point, I feel like I need to start drafting essay-length explanations for every single action, save them to my HDD, and just re-post in robotic fashion whenever this happens.

-

Short version: LL flat out admitted to trolling people, said he would stop on numerous occasions, but didn't. There are plenty of people who either disagree with the wave narrative or disagreed weeks/months ago, and I nor many others never had an issue with them. I'm not trying to create a bubble. I'm trying to maintain some semblance of order by restricting the users who wish to disrupt threads.

If that is "creating a safe space," then maybe (person) don't know what safe space means. Making a stand against hypocritical moderators or bubbles or w/e over LimoLiberal is the worst way to get your point across. This guy is/was a bonafide troll.

Who’s to say she wouldn’t have done something like this?

The fact that she ran the State Department for four years and never did something like this?

putting this here as a revealing distillation of peak smug liberalism:

It's kind of cute that you guys think your barely legible conspiracy theory nonsense and incoherent racist rants constitute an intellectual challenge to the liberal worldview. You're not blowing anyone's mind with this stuff, we've heard it before. The reason we don't want to hear it isn't that we're afraid of your truths, it's because you're intellectually beneath us and trying to explain facts to unpleasant people with deficient mental capabilities is neither fun nor productive.

Also, I love how you said you loved Irish (white) and dudes (male). I wonder why...

Well I’m an Irish-Portuguese Guy from New England. Obviously I’d vote for a dude whose a similar upbringing. Until I went to college I was a reliable Lynch voter.

Just understand when you criticize people for "identity politics"... you've literally voted people based on their identity. And that's perfectly fine.

Chechnya turnout is "only" 79%.  I would have expected around 95% turnout and around 99% vote for Putin.  It seems Kadyrov is off his game.

Maybe he forgot to count all of the people in his concentration camps.

What is this, fifth grade? Everyone has an ass and the word itself is harmless and inoffensive. This is a silly complaint.

Except it really isn't in TexArkana's case.  He's been trolling and spamming ever since that thread last year when he started calling for the decriminalization of child pornography.

Democrats need to stop talking about Gun Control or we're going to get wiped out in the Senate Races this year (ND, WV, MT, IN, and MO will definitely flip if Gun control is a big issue come November). Honestly, I'll never understand why Democrats don't follow the successful strategies of Bernie Sanders (promote Far-Left economic policies and a Non-Interventionist Foreign policy, and remain silent on social issues), instead of the failed strategies of Hillary Clinton (promote Far-Left Social policies, Moderate Foriegn policy and remain silent on economic issues).

Because of Silicon Valley and Wall Street money.

It’s really amazing to see the Democratic lead collapse again, this is starting to get very reminiscent of the 2016 election where Hillary would take a big lead and then a couple weeks later Trump would start surging, and it would go back and forth like that until Election Day happened to occur during a week Trump was surging. My gut tells me the Democratic lead will fluctuate between now and November, but when the election happens, it will be when Republicans are on an upswing, thus resulting in them holding the House and gaining several senate seats.

Oh, your gut says poll numbers will fluctuate over the next 8 months? Amazing analysis.

It's pretty appropriate since gun enthusiasts seem to get the same sensation from thinking about guns as they do from being sexually aroused. Whatever you're into I guess...

If you really want to crack down on gun violence, don’t target the mentally ill and further stigmatize and unfairly subject them to privacy violations. Instead, place those with a history of domestic violence, White supremacy, sexism, and religious fanaticism on a “no sell” list. And that should especially apply to the police. That’d do more to reduce mass shootings, domestic terrorism, and  unjustified police shootings than anything else.

When Teachout challenged him, she was called anti-semitic for saying that she would follow Obama on Israel. Talk about a double standard there.

As a Jewish person, I am far less offended by some dumbass making jokes about my dancing skills than I am about a US President attempting to topple Israel's prime minister and responding to his failure by attempting to fatally knife Israel at the UN.

And as a Jewish person, I am much less offended by a U.S. President kinda disliking my Prime Minister (who's clearly an a**hole personally btw) and much more offended by said Prime Minister being a corrupt wannabe-despot who, for years, has been inciting Jews against their brothers and sisters for political gain. Netanyahu has done much, much more damage to the unity and thus the very well-being of the Jewish people than Obama ever could do.
On a serious note, Obama definitely didn't try to topple Bibi- if he did, he'd have actively stopped this farce of a speech before Congress that Netanyahu gave two weeks before election day. If anyone intervened in the Israeli election, it's the Republicans who actively helped Likud.

I do agree, though, that Cuomo's dumb joke is much less offending than Teachout being, for weeks, unable to say whether she supports or opposes the antisemitic BDS.
