It is better you google it, moron. Why do you take things personally?

Read this and learn something, idiot.

This is the kind of "ideological intelligence" that really fed the election results.

In our current climate, people who follow the right trends are "wise and scientific."

It was indeed. Loosing the Senate, barely making any gains in the House while the Democrats are in office. This is bullshit by American political system standards.

The hypocrisy of Liberals nearly beggars belief.

‘Risky’ tactic: Dems meddle to boost GOP longshots | The Midterm View

And this is not the first time. Do you think we've forgotten that it was the Clinton's that persuaded Trump to enter the Republican primary in the first place. Trump only entered the contest on the understanding that the Liberal media would do their best to help him get off to a good start. Of course no one imagined for one second that he'd win the primary, let alone the presidency.

We saw a similar thing but in reverse in Britain when Jeremy Corbyn stood for Labour leader. Conservative members of Parliament took out temporary Labour membership so as they could vote for him. Of course once he was elected this didn't stop those same Tory MPs trailing across the television studios, whining on about how sad they were that Labour didn't have credible a leader.

This is why we need zero tolerance. Zero tolerance of any whining by those that support the two party system about the inevitable consequences of the two party system. In a whole number of ways the two party system fuels extremism and hatred. Hatred is the very foundation of the two party political system. In a modern western democracy, you just can't get more than 50% of the people to like you. If you support the two party system and elected executive presidencies how can you complain about Trump.

Trump got about 25% of the voters to really like, even love him. This is the best you can do. You can only get to fifty percent by getting more voters that hate the other guy into the booths or at least the results than the other guy. You can't win Presidential elections just by getting people to like you, or by thinking up smart government policy. No you win by demonising your opponents, by goading encouraging, trolling them into more extremism, by railing up your base to vote, by voter fraud and voter suppression.

He's been doing it for like a decade now so it would be a distinction without a difference if it were parody or satire.

I just choose to believe that PoFo tends to attract weirdo fash foreigners like Colliric who instinctively recognize how the American GOP operates and have a need to support their brethren.

Just absolutely in awe of how the GOP managed to fuck up what is normally a Midterm win for the opposing party. Just incredible. And since it was not a landslide the craziest fuckers in the GOP now have leverage in the House the same way Manchin did in the Senate.

And with Trump announcing this is going to be even more fun. A proven loser with a track record of losing is now going to assert his dominance over the party because DeSantis is an empty suit machine politician who can only do stupid shit like say "No more trans history in history books" when there wasn't anything there to begin with. Beautiful. Who could have predicted a party with no platform that only exists as a manifestation of a shared personality disorder would do this to itself?

Florida has a teacher shortage because it's a crumbling hellscape slowly collapsing into the ocean. Their public school system is crumbling because their hard line GOP governors have waged an all out war against public employees for decades.

DeSantis solution? If you're a veteran you're already a certified teacher even without a bachelor's degree. If you're the spouse (sorry folks, we couldn't limit this to heterosexual couples) of a veteran you just need to sit in on two weeks of classes.

Please, lets start examining the DeSantis governorship and tell all the parents of America what kind of solutions he has for their children. Haha. I'm sure the suburban households will love the idea of allowing any marine with PTSD to march in off the street and teach their children.

If there's one person I can think of that Trump didn't insult into oblivion and who wasn't already a Florida Governor, it's Jeb Bush. And when I look at Desantis I definitely get strong, manly man vibes and not Jeb vibes. Haha it's gonna be such a shit show.

Yeah, the fuckin' by the numbers machine politician who wears pristine, fucking spotless white boots to a disaster zone to show how little work he actually does is gonna roll over Trump. They're both effiminate, but Trump is mean and that's what the base wants. Trump wouldn't even be caught dead anywhere near an area receiving Federal relief, he'd just hand food off in boxes to people in a drive through line and call their wives ugly and they would love him for it.

Don't use condom technology, and when you get syphilis don't use antibiotic technology.

Most of the natives died from viruses btw. Adapt or die.

The First Nations didn't have syphilis until Europeans brought it with them from their polluted old world nations.

Likewise, the First Nations didn't have the kind of lies-based politics that has voters "strategically" voting for shallow posers who they really don't trust.

The Santa Claus myth helps convince North American children that going along with lies... can make you rich. (can get you more presents)

This is another "Santa Claus" style meme.

It was designed to convince Americans that genocide is commendable.

It worked. Now go write that wishlist and send it to the North Pole.

He practices in front of a mirror before posting on PoFo his comments. He has an image to protect.

And no more large penis references. He might believe you do have one. :lol: :D

Who is your Santa Clause?

What sorts of products do you consume?

Once again, Qatz is just spouting pop-history that he barely understands at people. Probably just nonsense he picked up from a commercial jingle.

Renter Americans, which is what the losers we dominated prefer to be called, actually had what was called Super Syphylis. They were thankful to the Owner Americans for replacing their deadlier, more dangerous form of syphilis with the milder, more civilized European form of syphilis.

And once again, Qatz is wrong about the origins of syphilis. It doesn't come from "pollution" as he calls it. It's a direct punishment from God, who hated the Renter Americans which is why he gave them Super Syphilis.

Qatz routinely calls me when he's drunk and sobs the Oscar-Meier wiener song. I don't know if he actually consumes their fine products though.

Many historians and archaeologists believe that it was Columbus that brought syphilis into Europe, caught from the American Indians.

Likewise, the First Nations didn't have the kind of lies-based politics that has voters "strategically" voting for shallow posers who they really don't trust.

True the Aztecs for example did seem to place less emphasis on voting and more on human sacrifice when it came to the evolution of government policy. However I don't think we should idealise the Aztec system of governance. The grass always seems greener on the other side of the hill. It probably had negatives we're not aware of.

How do you explain the skeletons, known to have died before 1492, that were found in Italy with damage similar to that caused by congenital syphilis?
#15255931
@Rich,
I have seen other reports of new evidence that have convinced me that the experts were wrong. It was in the Old World in Europe before 1492.
I'm not sure of any evidence that it was in the New World before 1492, but it may have been.
