"you can't just go around calling everyone you disagree with a borg"
The mystery behind a confusing phone call Donald Trump claims he had with "China" has been disclosed: The president made it up to try to boost the market.
Yes, but what does Piers Morgan think about it all?
Informative thread on Trumps spy satellite tweet

All i can think of is what has he shared with other nations that wasn’t in a tweet.
But. Her. Emails. Haha
He didn’t do anything illegal.
Everyone needs to put this sensational story to bed. The only story here might be that he’s an immature high school boy who wants to show off America’s dick. What’s new?
He can declassify anything he wants, doesn’t make it any less fucking dumb.
I’ve been plenty fair to you, so I don’t know how I’ve suddenly come under your cryptic fire ??
Yes, but what does Piers Morgan think about it all?
They call him a leftist, so he must be important and a representative voice for anyone who is liberal.
I mean, that’s just undeniable.
Just as undeniable as AOC being fascist.
Boom.
No prob.
The Senator Collins 'is the worst kind of person' thing..... Silly, but no big deal. It's the internet, right?
Your 'Hitler's children' bit, and the same kinda Nazi trash offered by a few of the local heavies here, it digs a little deeper. I suppose it fits Fym nowadays.
Wish yolland was still around.
Do you know how much shit I had to take from everyone in the NBA thread for years?
Also pls everyone stop saying “leftist.” It’s a dumb word manufactured by the right to make the left sound extreme.
How? Actual leftists use the term to refer to themselves quite commonly and without issue.
Anyone who is in a position of leadership, and wants to force their views on others , and take rights away is a fascist.
Racist
Misogynist
Supremacist
Sexist
Hedonist
Fascist
Communist (somewhat)
Capitalist (somewhat)
Socialist (somewhat)
All of these terms are pejoratives used from the right or left to attack the other.
Leftist
Rightist?
Nobody says rightist. The term is “ist” is now a freaking pejorative. In the political realm, -ist words are almost exclusively used as pejoratives, except for those who try to claim or reclaim the words. And some of them aren’t reclaimable.
I’m by no means suggesting that the prefix -ist is negative, but it’s definitely so in the political realm. I never see people on the left referring to themselves as “leftist.” It’s liberal or progressive. The folks on the right are the near exclusive users of the term “leftist,” and it sounds stupid. An -ist would imply an -ism is a thing. “Leftism” might have a definition but it means a whole lot of nothing, as though the left is one entity of homogenous beliefs. And it doesn’t jive well at all with the use of the term “leftist,” which is typically used in an extreme sense.
I'll take your word for it in a US context, but anecdotally, a very large amount of people I know self describe as leftists. And because even in an Australian context 'progressive' as a descriptor is too mild for what we actually believe in. I do as well.
He doesn’t see it, folks.
Ah yes, Sky News Australia is Rupert Murdoch's attempt to recreate Fox News for an Australian context. The evening programming is commonly called 'Sky After Dark' because the programs are virtually all ideologically skewed to the conservative side of the ruling Liberal Party. So don't be surprised if it makes little sense.
And of course, there's the matter of YouTube algorithms that seems to promote hard-right channels and videos irregardless of what you actually watch.
Anyone who is in a position of leadership, and wants to force their views on others , and take rights away is a fascist.
AOC, and unfortunately many others (including people on this forum) want to restrict freedom of speech (fascism) , support violence in response to views (real or imagined) that they don’t like, force people into giving up their religious freedoms and calling it hate , is fascism. Faking hate crimes, and fake photo ops to push leftist propaganda is fascism.
AOC is just the latest leftist tool being used and drooled over by the left. The fact that you guys are more obsessed with what I say, versus deciding which millionaire hypocrite you guys will prop up (or the DNC rigs the primary for) between Biden , Warren, or Sanders , is very telling.
Do you have an example of real restrictions for speech being proposed at a government level?
Examples supporting violence?
Of restricting religious freedoms?
A photo op is not propaganda perse, and propaganda is a tool, not actual fascism. If it were then the majority of your posts would make you an actual fascist.
