The only point of the business is so you can eat the goddamn steak.

I’m starting to worry about you.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 12:43 PM

But without being born into a super ****ing rich family he wouldn't be eating that steak. Even being born into a kinda sorta rich family who still worries about their invitations to prestige charity events probably would have left him destitute.

You have some nice big ideas but your analytical abilities are sometimes Trumpean.

Then how come I can’t afford the goddamn steaks???

The Batlord 10-03-2019 12:56 PM

Cause you were born poor white trash.

You got me son. Checkmated by the best. Im proud to have lost this argument to the BEST. Say man, when I come up the Virginia could you loan me a couple hundred so we can hit up a steak house?

The Batlord 10-03-2019 01:07 PM

Sure, man, can I borrow $300?

I’ll do you one better. I’ll write you a check for $400 and you only need to give me $300 in cash because you’re so ****ing cool.

Sometimes I wonder if things would have been better overall if Ross Perot had won as an independent back in the early 90's. Might have set a better precedent.

I don't know I think that's too well thought out for him tbh. He probably stole it.

nah

Sanders is an actual socialist ideologue

Yang is an actual technocrat based around a single main policy - UBI

Biden is an actual run of the mill centrist who will continue the status quo and is telling you as much - he's banking on selling the idea of a return to normalcy

With any of those candidates you pretty much get what you see


But Warren is posing as the same type of progressive as Sanders while strategically cosying up to the establishment to make her more palatable. Her rhetoric and her actual strategic positioning point in very different directions. Thus she seems likely to be the next Obama.

She's a shape shifting lizard whose egg landed on this continent millions of years ago.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 06:20 PM

Hey! Biden is too a lizard. He's just a smug lizard who doesn't bother wearing a mask.

jwb 10-03-2019 06:28 PM

No. Sloppy Joe is a schmuck. Pocahontas is the lizard. She's part of the infamous mullet gang, headed by Hillary.

Wearing a mask is a minimal requirement for all reptilians.

Frownland 10-03-2019 06:29 PM

You just find his mask convincing.

jwb 10-03-2019 06:30 PM

What is he hiding behind it?

Frownland 10-03-2019 06:31 PM

Senility and corporate interests.

jwb 10-03-2019 06:32 PM

Uh no that's all out in the open lol

The Batlord 10-03-2019 06:33 PM

I mean he pretends the centrism is for the benefit of people other than himself and his corporate buddies.

Raime 10-03-2019 06:33 PM

I just know who I'm voting against next year. I used to feel more confident in which Democratic candidate I'd like to see nominated, but I feel a bit more worn down and lost. I guess I want Beto O'Rourke to get the nomination because I want a skateboarding president who stands on tables.

I mean if you wanna set the bar that low then yes they're all lizards

Every politician will whitewash the facts to a certain extent

But basically anyone who is remotely informed knows he's the status quo candidate

A lot of people don't know exactly what separates Warren from Sanders

Dont do it. Youre new here. Never come to this sub forum. Its the devil.

jwb 10-03-2019 06:37 PM

Lol at beto

This is one of those instances where the banned f word comes in handy

That sounds like recognition of his lizardry to me.

So he's a lizard, glad we got that out of the way.

It's too late.

jwb 10-03-2019 06:43 PM

Once again if you say the bar that low then yes, they are all lizards

Every single politician will whitewash their views and try to make them sound as good as possible

But there is a difference between trying to frame your positions in the best light possible - which all politicians do, and misrepresenting your actual positions

Kamala Harris is a good example of the latter

And I suspect Warren is too. Such a champion of progressive causes that she backed Hillary over Sanders in 2016 and then stole his basic platform in 2020. I don't trust the c*nt.

Frownland 10-03-2019 06:44 PM

You trust Biden?

Trust?

jwb 10-03-2019 06:47 PM

I trust he's exactly what I think he is. I wouldn't support him because I don't like what he represents.

The Batlord 10-03-2019 06:48 PM

Being a political lizard person isn't just about being super secret about your cold-blooded, amoral plans, it's also about having cold-blooded, amoral plans. Biden only has to be as secretive as he needs to be to maintain his shallow centrism, which isn't that secretive since it's both an accepted political place to be and a place he's been in for decades. He hides in plain sight.

Bro, plausible deniability isn't necessarily about fooling people, it can also just be about being slippery enough that you can't get nailed down.

jwb 10-03-2019 06:49 PM

Now you're redefining lizards for your purposes. Typical lizard tactic.

jwb 10-03-2019 06:52 PM

I didn't even make the statement as a defense of Biden. **** that guy. It was a Warren diss. That mullet headed twat.

As far as I have ever known "lizards" in political speak is meant to denote someone who is cold-blooded (amoral) and duplicitous, as if they did not have human moral attributes. If someone is being duplicitous for the sake of enacting a moral agenda they truly believe will make the world a better place and they're actually good people then they're not lizards. So being duplicitous is not the sole defining characteristic.

Honestly I don't follow enough along with her to have an opinion either way.

jwb 10-03-2019 06:54 PM

Actually no I was referring to David Ickes "reptilians" who are notorious for their shape shifting abilities and their mullets.
