The Official Inauguration of Donald J. Trump News Thread: Reality sets in Edition - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Evanstr;51700187]Why should a new government keep up webpages which contain a old governments policies ?[/QUOTE] I think it's more confirming that he doesn't give a fuck about it.

[QUOTE=Govna;51700185]Why should there be unity? There's way too much on the line with this man's administration to be unified behind him or to treat him respectfully.[/QUOTE] Because respectable, peaceful cooperation can and does work? Do you think rioting will actually make anything better? Throwing bricks through Starbucks windows will help anything? [QUOTE=Govna;51700185]This isn't a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact: that he is now in office with people like Rex Tillerson, Steve Bannon, Scott Pruitt, Andrew Puzder, Jeff Sessions, etc. behind him is [i]not[/i] a good thing for the United States-- not for climate change policy, not for healthcare policy, not for environmental policy, not for economic policy...[/QUOTE] And there are ways to go about combatting this without doing dumb shit that may or may not be illegal, senseless, or impractical at actually getting things done. [QUOTE=Govna;51700185]There's every reason under the sun to oppose this man, his administration, and his supporters. Saying "we need unity" SOUNDS nice, but it doesn't actually mean anything. It's also dangerous considering what's at risk now.[/QUOTE] What are you implying? [editline]20th January 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Perrine;51700191]doesn't look like he's joking[/QUOTE] Holy shit, KillRay are you actually throwing rocks at police? What the fuck are you doing?

[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;51700197]Because in theory, Communism is pretty good. In practice, human greed gets into it and it becomes what we've seen in the past.[/QUOTE] Why does anyone care about theory when the practical is what is important?

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51700203]Why does anyone care about theory when the practical is what is important?[/QUOTE] you have to have a theory for something before you go and test it and figure out the practicalities don't you

[QUOTE=Evanstr;51700187]Why should a new government keep up webpages which contain a old governments policies ?[/QUOTE] It's not just the link, climate change references are nowhere to be found on the website. Which is now replaced with "Clean Coal" lol.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51700167]Start more fires imo[/QUOTE] that shit's fucking retarded all you're doing is wasting your time and distracting people from important things when you do that but I guess if people weren't impulsive slack jawed retards we wouldn't be in this position to begin with

Honestly I love how the "fascists" are the ones actually letting democracy happen while a section of the left is literally going full fucking PURGE.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;51700211]that shit's fucking retarded all you're doing is wasting your time and distracting people from important things when you do that but I guess if people weren't impulsive slack jawed retards we wouldn't be in this position to begin with[/QUOTE] He's not being serious.

[QUOTE=Perrine;51700191]doesn't look like he's joking[/QUOTE] I fucking called it two days ago that those protests weren't going to be non-violent.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51700201] Holy shit, KillRay are you actually throwing rocks at police? What the fuck are you doing?[/QUOTE] If that is true, well now we got evidence of him admitting to assaulting police officers.

[QUOTE=Evanstr;51700213]Honestly I love how the "fascists" are the ones actually letting democracy happen while a section of the left is literally going full fucking PURGE.[/QUOTE] Thus the entire left is terrible, right?

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51700201] Holy shit, KillRay are you actually throwing rocks at police? What the fuck are you doing?[/QUOTE] Strengthening Trump's political foundation Because assaulting police officers is clearly a great idea that spreads love and political acceptance.

[T]http://i.imgur.com/lyaHduPh.jpg[/T] Quite a diverse makeup of protestors today, lots of the same folks from a couple of months ago. You tend to notice this sort of diversity when you attend a good amount of these. People's unifying belief seems to be their disdain for Trump primarily. I kinda like this picture

No really, KillRay, are you legitimately throwing rocks at police? You're aware that if you are, you just admitted to it, and you're completely fucked, right?

[QUOTE=portalcrazy;51700206]you have to have a theory for something before you go and test it and figure out the practicalities don't you[/QUOTE] I should have made that clearer: why care about the theory of something we already have practical examples of? For communism especially it confuses me people go back to the whole "communism has never been truly tried in practice! look at the theory!" when nobody would dare say that about fascism.

[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;51700197]Because in theory, Communism is pretty good. In practice, human greed gets into it and it becomes what we've seen in the past.[/QUOTE] kinda silly that a system designed for human beings doesn't take human behavior into account

I liked his speech and I'm looking forward to the future, not being afraid or excited, just neutral on what's to come. I don't regret voting for him, I'm proud I did. I made a choice, fairly simple, I had my reasons..now what's done is done. Thank you Mr. President, welcome to the White House

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51700225]I should have made that clearer: why care about the theory of something we already have practical examples of? For communism especially it confuses me people go back to the whole "communism has never been truly tried in practice! look at the theory!" when nobody would dare say that about fascism.[/QUOTE] Theoretically some systems of fascism work to their intended purpose. It just so happens that that purpose also includes a shitload of human suffering and hatred.

[QUOTE=fulgrim;51700158]Pfft, not even molotovs? Weak.[/QUOTE] Dude, rocks are dangerous, molotovs are completely harmless.

[QUOTE=DOCTOR LIGHT;51700219]Thus the entire left is terrible, right?[/QUOTE] See how i said a section... Love the left that is happy to coexist and debate but the ones that want to fuck shit up need to get behind the wall.

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51700225]I should have made that clearer: why care about the theory of something we already have practical examples of? For communism especially it confuses me people go back to the whole "communism has never been truly tried in practice! look at the theory!" when nobody would dare say that about fascism.[/QUOTE] that makes more sense i think he was discussing how things (such as trump's inevitably future broken promises) may sound good, but end up not turning out that well, using the theoretically ideal ideology of communism as an example

[QUOTE=Evanstr;51700234]See how i said a section... Love the left that is happy to coexist and debate but the ones that want to fuck shit up need to get behind the wall.[/QUOTE] Apologies. It's pretty heated in here.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;51700216]Same thing happened with LGBT. [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C2oj5qtWIAE38-k.jpg:large[/t][/QUOTE] That's because the new website has only Trump content, just like Obama's only had Obama content. Obama's website was moved to obamawhitehouse.gov.

[QUOTE=DOCTOR LIGHT;51700231]Theoretically some systems of fascism work to their intended purpose. It just so happens that that purpose also includes a shitload of human suffering and hatred.[/QUOTE] Well quite a number of communist systems worked to, but those also called human suffering and hatred. Perhaps I might be being ignorant but I see literally no difference between how communism and fascist end up; with extreme human suffering and abuse of human rights. In the specifics they are widely different, but the final destination of Nazi Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union were scarily alike.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51700148]I'm throwing rocks at the police as we speak[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=KillRay;51700167]Start more fires imo[/QUOTE] Mods if you haven't already, please report KillRay's IP or location to the police. We don't need cop assualting, possibly rioting criminals among our posters. [sp]Closet anti-semites too, but hey Starpluck made mod so idk[/sp]

[QUOTE=Bertie;51700239]That's because the new website has only Trump content, just like Obama's only had Obama content. Obama's website was moved to obamawhitehouse.gov.[/QUOTE] This. Fucking seriously. This isn't anything new. The site is being retooled for the [B]current president[/B] like it [B]always has been.[/B]

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51700243]Well quite a number of communist systems worked to, but those also called human suffering and hatred. Perhaps I might be being ignorant but I see literally no difference between how communism and fascist end up; with extreme human suffering and abuse of human rights.

[B]Please.[/B] I am [B]constantly[/B] agreeing with you that communism is fucking retarded. My point was not about how the Soviet Union wasn't "true communist" and how it could've been OK if it was, it's about how the Soviet Union was just a faux-communist totalitarian state. [B]Please understand.[/B]

[QUOTE=Stroheim;51700245]Mods if you haven't already, please report KillRay to the police. We don't need cop hurting, rioting criminals among our posters. [sp]Closet anti-semites too, but hey Starpluck made mod so idk[/sp][/QUOTE] This please. KillRay i hope for your sake you're joking cause otherwise you just admitted to assaulting police officers (who have literally nothing to do with what you're having a baby temper tantrum about, by the fucking way) on a forum, on your phone, presumably with video or photo evidence depending on where you are, in what i assume to be broad daylight.

The site is currently being redeveloped for his policies, it's not like people should expect anything to come up right as he becomes president.
