I had this conversation a few days ago. Those types of marches aren't for trying to convince others of their positions. It can definitely seem like it is pointless to those that don't agree with their position but it more about rallying their base that is already in their bubble.

Also those bunch of Christian business owners that refuse service to gay couples are backed up by law in certain places. So it isn't just their ignorant opinion when they have the law on their side to discriminate against a group of people they don't like. Honestly, I don't get why gay couples would want to spend their money making someone rich that doesn't align with their values. **** them if they don't want to cater your event. Take your spending power elsewhere.

But I agree insofar as I think violence is the answer
There isn't enough people on board for violence to be effective. People in general are way too comfortable with their status quo. They aren't desperate enough.

Lol. I've been lectured on countless occasions on just this thread alone on topics ranging from business to economics to whatever the hell else pops up peripherally to the ongoing Trump Saga...even though I'm probably the only guy on this forum who actually owns a business that serves other businesses, small and large alike. So I can take a little irony, but you are well beyond that point. You ignoring my core points and scoffing at Trump getting eight years and then getting mad when I direct you to an article written by a guy with 20+ years of political writing experience (who happens to be a liberal like yourself) is the epitome of pretentiousness. I'm showing you the train coming at you and you have basically decided to stand there and let it run you over.

That particular Women's March definitely fell in line more as a pure publicity stunt than a platform for different talking points, so I can agree with that assessment. Some fundraising went on throughout it as well.

As far as those Christian businessowners are concerned, I'd give the states still discriminating another decade (maybe a bit less) before they all have changed their tune due to certain inevitabilities. Good luck with their lawsuits at that point.

If only it were that easy. But at least there's plenty of seasoned pros around here to show me how it's done.

Presentious 101.



You and Joe.

How much do you pay your workers? What's your health care plan? How much paid sick time? How much paid vacation time? I get the impression that you are a total f-ing Trump like leach on your workers. But hey, it's legal so WTF? As long as YOU are making money, right?

Good for you dude. Rock on.

Pathetic. I've talked about what I do before and the vets I hire for six figure jobs in the U.S. tech sector. Am I supposed to do something about your memory problems too?

I'm temporarily closing this thread for people to cool down and back off on the personal attacks. If I see it showing up anywhere else on this site, the posts will be deleted.

Edit: I'm reopening this thread. It will remain open as long as everybody refrains from personal attacks and trolling.

Let's break down the events of G20.

Here are a few bullet points.

- Disappointment expressed about the US not being in the climate change agreement. Further solidifying that other countries no longer look to the US as the "leader of the free world". Merkel holds down that title now.

- Some discussion was had over steel production and of course Trump was promoting Fossil Fuels.

- he backed off a bit on his stance of being against NATO and wanting to pull out of NAFTA.

- He met with Putin and asked about interfering with US Elections. To which Putin replied no and started laughing like a maniacal villian.

- They also discuss creating a Cyber Security Unit which is basically like the Joker saying to The Riddler lets work in keeping Gotham safe now. Batman is fake news.

-He still sticks to his point that Mexico will absolutely pay for the wall.

-When it was over, he just skipped out of town with no news conference.

Oh and the Nepotism fest continues, he had his daughter sitting in on meetings he should have attended.
