There's something especially warped about a group of wealthy, religious, white old men and women dancing and clapping after passing a bill that kills their poorest constituents while creating a police state to keep them in line while they die.

Fucking gross.

[Sal_Monella]

What is interesting about them, exactly?

[goaded]

@Sal_Monella The ears?

[dustybiker2]

Kick that orange hack in the sack, sir. Well played. Dems are great at words...

The weakness of the American people is profound. It's clear now the countries true strength only ever was curb appeal.

[goaded]

Not so great at exercising their power, unfortunately.

[dustybiker2]

Frustratingly accurate.

[Sal_Monella]

And great advocating evil.

[dustybiker2]

@Sal_Monella Same could be said of both sides there. It is politics. Survival.

@Biricik Speak for yourself.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

I saw a placard the other day: "First they came for the students with visas/and I spoke up because I know how the poem ends".

[Dongie]

True as hell. But they are not worth discussing issues and how commies were treated here fifty years ago.

[goaded]

@Dongie You think that was written about 1970's US?

[Sal_Monella]

Then they came for the criminal aliens and the Alligators and Pythons were glad.

[goaded]

@Sal_Monella They're mostly not criminals. Unlike Trump, who is.

[Dongie]

Thats a pot of gold coming from you! Rich as fucking hell!! With the pure totalitarian ways of the left toward Donald J. Trump you don't have a leg to stand on even if you were an American! Which you're not. After the treatment from you leftist scum sucking pigs i figure he can say anything he wants you sick motherfucker! Plus, we call it FREEDOM OF FUCKIN' SPEECH FREAK!!!
Now run along and report me cocksucjer! Im ready for a break from you fuckin' pieces of fucking shit!! 😅😂🤣💦

[goaded]

Pure projection. Are all the supposed "20 million" immigrants "rapists and murderers"? No. Are immigrants "eating the cats and eating the dogs"? No. Is the Democratic party "communist"? No.

Were the Republicans lying when they claimed not to want to cut Medicaid? Hell, yes!

Have the Republican party just funded an agency bigger than the US Marine Corps, loyal only to Trump and not the US constitution? Hell, yes!

Have the Republican party just paid for more ICE detention facilities than the entire federal prison system? Hell, yes.

Have Republicans openly suggested that the number of people to be detained matches the number of Latino people in the US, far exceeding the number of illegal immigrants? Hell, yes.

[Dongie]

Reap it!! 🇺🇲😅✝️🫡

[goaded]

You prove the point of the question every day on here.

[Dongie]

And just like that they forgot the fake dossier, bugging Trumps telephone line, framing him for everything and "over-estimating" the value of his golf course along with shooting the man in the fuckin ear! Hey STOOPID, he has earned the privilege of saying anything he wants especially if it triggers you suck-ass lefties!!

[Mangospacho]

It’s gonna be awesome when Mandan becomes mayor of NYC. He’s gonna nationalize all the grocery and convenience stores across all the boroughs and tax people based on race. They are projecting over 5 million people will move back to NYC from Florida in the first year alone just so they can pay the new taxes.

[goaded]

No, he's going to fund local grocery stores in areas without any affordable ones. Your "tax people based on race" is obvious bullshit.

[CaptainObivous]

Taxing whiter neighborhoods isn't taxing people based on race?
www.msn.com/.../ar-AA1HwDN6

[goaded]

@CaptainObivous Whiter, or richer?

[CaptainObivous]

He said whiter neighborhoods. He should have phrased it as richer neighborhoods and not whiter neighborhoods, it's both racist and provides ammunition for republicans to use against democrats.

[goaded]

@CaptainObivous Even the NYPost says: "richer and whiter neighborhoods”.

[CaptainObivous]

He should have left the whiter part, it servers no purpose other then to divide based on race. Was in discussion about this on another forum, a person mentioned how they grew up in an extremely poor white community and took offense to it. This is why Democrats at times have trouble winning elections, they have the habit of making things about race when when they don't need to. A lot more people are going to be open to the idea of shifting tax burden to richer neighborhoods then they are richer and whither neighborhoods.

[goaded]

@CaptainObivous Is it not factual? Are the richer parts of NYC also whiter?

[CaptainObivous]

It is factual richer parts of NYC tend to be whiter, but just because it's factual doesn't mane you need to mention race, Republicans are going to have a field day with the "richer and whiter neighborhoods" sound bite. This quote from a liberal forum is pretty accurate.
"I feel people saying things like "well the richer neighborhoods tend to be whiter so it's fine" are missing the point. If he wanted to just say that he is taxing rich people, he could have said that. Nobody put a gun to his head and asked him to add the race part to his platform.

It probably won't matter in the context of the nyc mayor race, but as a party nationally if our candidates run on things like this we can't then be all shocked-pikachu face about it when white voters pick the other party instead".

[goaded]

@CaptainObivous "Young local politician says something that's not applicable to the country as a whole" shocker! I'm sure there are plenty of politicians down south that are saying or even doing things that wouldn't poll well in NYC, too. Building concentration camps, for example.

[exitseven]

The guy IS a commie. He an an America hating commie that wants to tax white people and maybe he lied on his citizenship application. If he was to be deported, most would not miss him.

[goaded]

"maybe he lied on his citizenship application" when he was seven.

[DrPepper12]

Don't let facts ruin they're fantasy world...

[exitseven]

@goaded he became a citizen 7 years ago , not when he was seven.

[goaded]

Actually, that's correct, he's lived in the US since he was seven but wasn't naturalised until 2018.

If Trump says "maybe he lied on his citizenship application", that's because he doesn't want to be sued for defamation.

[exitseven]

@goaded When you become a citizen you are asked all kinds of questions. Some are political activities and affiliations. We do not make commies US Citizens.. This guy clearly lied.

[goaded]

Absolute bullshit. That would be totally against the first amendment. There's a list of all the questions here: https://civicsquestions.com/questions/ Which ones are "political activities and affiliations"?

[Jackblue]

Mamdani said we should shift the tax burden to white people. How can these famous people keep saying bigoted things about white people and not expect a reaction? As for Fascism, if Trump makes himself Dictator I will agree with you, though in a dictatorship I would probably keep that to myself. Until that point were are not in a fascist state.

[goaded]

I'm pretty sure that's a lie. Feel free to provide a link.

[Jackblue]

nypost.com/.../

[goaded]

Isn't it a fact that the richer neighbourhoods are whiter than the poorer ones?

‘richer and whiter neighborhoods’

[Jackblue]

Why did he need to say "whiter" though, why not just richer? What is it going to take for you to admit that anti-white bigotry is mainstream amongst left-wing politicians of color like him?

[sawno]

Yes its been here a while, but your not looking in the right direction.

[goaded]

I'm sure I am. I'm looking at the people building concentration camps, deporting people who haven't committed crimes to foreign concentration camps, who are talking about 65 million "alligator meals", when that's the total number of Latinos in the US, not "just" the "illegals", the ones building militia who are loyal to the president, not the constitution, who think it's OK to kidnap people, including citizens, without identifying themselves.

Can you militant libs stop spreading moral panic for a minute? Gee, never seen such hysterical people like you.

Keep telling yourself that while Trump builds a military loyal to himself rather than the constitution.

Keep believing what you say, Democrats think that if you say a lie long enough, it will become the truth.

Again, you forgot to do your due diligence, and you cherry-pick your words and sentences to read or you listened to the assholes clearing their throat per usual. WAIST FRAUD AND ABUSE were culled, and if you are able-bodied, you have to work 20 hours or be searching for work to qualify for things; those who can't are not penalized, but you did not read that. Maybe you do not know how to read,.

[onedarkcloud]

[goaded]

More lies, and totally ignoring the points.

Have Republicans openly suggested that the number of people to be detained matches the number of Latino people in the US, far exceeding the number of illegal immigrants? Yes or no?

[onedarkcloud]

Taken out of context again, bits and pieces strung together, and of course, blame the Republicans, blame Trump, follow all comments even if he had nothing to do with it. Drs are starting to treat TDS as a real mental problem, too. Even foreigners are falling prey to it. Maybe even you! LMFAO!!!

[goaded]

I asked you a yes or no question: Have Republicans openly suggested that the number of people to be detained matches the number of Latino people in the US, far exceeding the number of illegal immigrants?

Who else should be blamed but the party that controls all three branches of government?

If there should be something called TDS, it would be people who never question Trump despite all his lies and obvious fascism. One more Republican vote in the Senate or two in the House against the bill would have protected millions of working Americans from having their health insurance taken away from them, rural hospitals being closed and trillions being added to the national debt.

[Snakeyes7]

I don't know for sure if this guy is a commie, but Trump is looking to arrest him in the case that he aids and abets illegal immigrants.

[JohnathanK]

Typical hypocrisy from this migrant.

Literally calls for higher taxing of ''Whiter Neighborhoods''. But then whines racism, when he himself is targeted. He needs a tissue.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Mr. Mamdani is spot on about Trump and Fascism !!!

[DonaldDarko]

Trump is right, Borat should be arrested and deported along with every other Muslim that was let in. Get them the fuck out, all of them.

[DrPepper12]

How very christian of you...

[DonaldDarko]

@DrPepper12 I wouldn't think so off hand given I'm an atheist but who knows.

[DrPepper12]

Nope!!!

[alli-112]

Real. Politics is basically a joke at this point.

It's absolutely here

[RavVid]

Fascism was invented by a communist by the way.

[goaded]

It was because they chucked him out, wasn't it?

[RavVid]

It was more that he realized the Workers Of The World didn't unite in WW1 and went off to the trenches for King & Country quite happily. So he concluded Workers Of The World etc was a dud and needed the sounder footing of nationalism for socialism to take off.

It is important to realize there were a lot of different versions of socialism and the First International was held to reach some common consensus between 1864 and 1876 but never could because they all disagreed on what socialism was so violently. In fact it can't be agreed on as to when it ended - in some sources it went till 1886.

Mussolini just created yet another form of socialism in 1915 and there wasn't anything to chuck him out of because there was no single concept. Lots of socialist movements supported going to war to support their national governments.

The second International failed on the issue of socialists supporting their national gov't's war goals. So Mussolini wasn't on his pat malone and arguably just formalized the divide. The workers state was always central to socialism... so that wasn't particularly new

[SmokinAces2000]

No it’s not a question.

[Alex-Snow]

It is here and especially in the White House

[Sal_Monella]

Fascism has always been here.

[linguistrosey]

That is not fascism

[goaded]

Oh, yes it is. Basically, any accusation the Republicans threw at Biden over his term is exactly what they're doing today.

[linguistrosey]

You don't know what fascism is. You're insulting the victims of the fascist regime

[goaded]

No, you are. People are being kidnapped off the street by secret police, even US citizens. Republicans just funded ICE to be bigger than the Marine Corps and have more detention space than the entire federal prison system, while "joking" about the entire Latino population of the US being put in them, not just "illegals", most of whom were allowed in legally.

[jimmy2]

He will be arrested and deportated
