Tw couldn't get on Nixon's list, Dubya's list; or, Trump's list; so, now he's slumming.

Pete has quite a ground game in Iowa apparently. Biden and Bernie are too old unless Trump is the other option. Warren isn't exactly youthful but not decrepit. I'm just gonna mention Yang because he's likeable which is a new thing in a politician.

Yang seems to have no problem taking money from Richard Spencer's people. He also took some special time out to kiss Andy Ngo's ass.

I don't even consider him a candidate.

Ugh. I know that the nation needs someone who will reach across the culture divide, but... this ain't it, chief.

Flint · 11-13-2019, 01:11 PM

Andy Ngo is not "what is happening to Rust Belt" ???
Read posts #205, #206, and #207 in order.

Griff · 11-13-2019, 01:24 PM

I have no idea who Andy Ngo is. I was responding to the Richard Spencer smear.

Griff · 11-13-2019, 02:37 PM

So Andy Ngo turns out to be a right-wing Journalist who was beaten by the Antifa. I guess I'm with Yang and Biden on this. I oppose political violence.

I am in favor of political violence when it is appropriate.

But Ngo wasn't a victim. He intentionally orchestrated that event, and then lied about his injuries.

Undertoad · 11-15-2019, 08:51 AM

Let's do this, then. Here's a fair question.

IMO, the losers are the ones who inflict the violence in this scenario. That's my position and it's also the position of rule of law.

So under what conditions, in America, is it acceptable to strike an unarmed diminutive Asian guy standing on the side of the street filming you?

Please tell us how. He wasn't being provocative... unarmed, non-threatening, not saying a word, not doing anything, just filming them. Do you figure they are allowed to strike him because they didn't like what he showed on his videos, or what he said about them? Be honest.

and then lied about his injuries.

The people using weapons, striking him, causing him to bleed, be taken to the hospital, held overnight, these are all facts. Most of them are on videos that I've personally watched in order to verify what's going on.

That's actually enough for me. I don't need him to have a brain hemorrhage to identify the losers in this scenario, but please, if you know he lied about having a hemorrhage, let us know how you know.

Ngo is basically Spencer with better manners.

And it's not a smear. Yang found out the proudboys and other Spencer fans were sending him money (the reason they were doing that was pretty funny, "the system is fucked for Upstanding White Folks, so we may as well get our $1000"), and he had absolutely no problem with it.

And once you let the poo get on you, it doesn't come off.

Clodfobble · 11-13-2019, 03:01 PM

Ngo is, at minimum, a massive shit-stirrer. He goes to events and tries to get people to hit him in self-defense, then edits out the part where he attacked them first.

Griff · 11-13-2019, 03:19 PM

Gotcha. I wasn't familiar.
