Unfortunately, that's the way the world works. If you have enough money, you can get people to do anything you want.
Corruption is about power, which means it doesn’t have a political leaning. The Democrats tend to support policies that benefit the 90% though, that’s the reason they’re preferred to the GOP.The latest GOP tax plan is a perfect representation of the GOP
I guess that's why banks are even bigger today then when to big to fail even came about, looking out for the little guys.
PSSSTTTTT.......just check out opensecrets, pick a topic, read about the where the money is spent.
I might also suggest Robert Reich
His article is written from 10/22/17 at the bottom of his page.

Lol, but I'm not wrong. I mean, do you legitimately think you can come here and try to say I was pushing a narrative I wasn't? Lol. I never said reputable, I said leftists.
You added the "reputable" thing lol.
Serious question, why'd you say it? Why did you specify that? Because I'm figuring you know damn well this bullshit is being spouted lol. I guess you felt it would negate it if you highlighted it wasn't CNN or WaPo doing this.
Like I said in the other thread, Trevor is going to be burnt as an apostate.
Liberal TV host defends Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ comments: ‘Donald Trump was being woke’
Somebody forgot to tell him the only proper response is "RACISM!" and nothing else.
"When [Trump] says ‘Pocahontas,’ you might be thinking, ‘Wait Trevor, I’m confused, is Elizabeth Warren Native American?'” Noah began. “And you see, that’s the question because, for a long time, she said she was.”
Noah added that he had been struggling with the question of whether Trump is racist.
“Is Donald Trump racist?” Noah asked. “Yeah. But in his own way, he is hitting Elizabeth Warren for saying she is Native American when she wasn’t,” adding that what Warren did warrant being called out.
“Elizabeth Warren did something problematic,” he continued. “So as weird as it is to say, in his own racially offensive way, Donald Trump was being woke. Yeah, and that’s, unfortunately, the truth.”
I love the wording he uses though, he still knows he needs to tippy toe around this. It's just "problematic" lol. That is leftist jargon for "she's full of shit".

Lol:
I'm curious if people agree with the article that if Hilary had won the election none of this stuff about all these sex abusers would have came to light?
Lol holy shit...some of these democrats are lunatics.
Bulletproof glass protecting city store clerks may have to come down — over ‘indignity’ to customers
"Councilwoman Cindy Bass — a Democrat who offered the bill — told WTXF-TV she’s concerned about shoppers’ feelings.
“We want to make sure that there isn’t this sort of indignity, in my opinion, to serving food through a plexiglass only in certain neighborhoods,” Bass told the station."
Just wow. This is what SJW's give us, this type of bullshit lol. Does anyone still wanna say this stuff is harmless? This could literally lead to someone being killed....and all over hurt feelings.

You are free to do what you want lol. I wasn't intending it to mean literally ever single leftist. I saw more than one leftist doing it, thus me making "leftist" plural.
Btw what do you think of the bullet proof glass story? F*cktarded, right?
Originally posted by SurturSure that bullet proof glass bill is stupid, but you still haven't apologized for attributing an attitude to leftists that we don't have.

The only official stance I've seen which devalues the testimonies of women who have been molested and assaulted and demands that powerful men be given the benefit of the doubt are Trump supporters like you. And you're trying to shift that onto leftists???

I find it pretty shocking you want an apology lol. Did you apologize for your racist bullshit you spewed? You know, the whole "blacks can say anything they want about whites"? I don't recall it. Show me your apology.

Am I blaming people on the left for Trump supporters doubting accusers? No.
I know you weren't, but it highlights the ways that people label things in an increasingly tribalistic way, which is something I find detrimental to politics as a whole. As such, I'd never judge one person or a collective by something someone else who happens to share a vague political as the first person or collective has said or done.
The bulletproof glass thing is, of course, dumb. It was clearly put up for a reason and if the area is dangerous then safety comes first. The Left started the culture of health and safety, so they should keep at it, it's a good system that stops people from getting hurt or killed. Rich Kim is based and says everything that can be said about it. Great name, too.

This is the insanity the SJW culture is bringing to us lol. Legit death being risked in order to spare the feelings of people. I just think back to people who said this shit was harmless lol.
Next she'll target metal detectors. Hell the closest public high school to me has metal detectors AND the kids have to all have clear back packs lol. I'm sure that's racist or something in this lunatics mind.

I'm with you so far. This is definitely a symptom of our dems and GOPs.

And this is where you lose me. According to the research, they don't. They do not represent the 90%. They throw bones, very very rarely (the same as the GOP), but represent the top 10%, as the Princeton research clearly showed. This corruption was not specific to one party of the other: the corruption is from everyone in power.

In a democracy, that's not how it is supposed to work. Which is what that group is pushing for anti-Corruption legislation and they are getting traction. Which I hope takes off.

Also, why is that? Daily Mail is not conservative at all: extremely liberal and proud of it. So why are the comments a cesspool?

Originally posted by SurturTrump supporters devalued and humiliated the women who came forward to share their stories of harassment and abuse by Donald Trump. Not to mention the actions taken by the Trump admin and Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders straight up calling the women liars. If anything it's the right-wingers who espouse the attitude you just accused leftists of having.
Am I blaming people on the left for Trump supporters doubting accusers? No.
Meanwhile I haven't seen leftists on any scale defending a powerful men accused of sexual misconduct. If anything it's leftists taking down and exposing members of their own group. Matt Lauer was exposed by a leftist, Kevin Spacey was exposed by a leftist, Harvey Weinstein was exposed by leftists, Al Franken was exposed by leftists...

Oh bullshit. How naive are you? You think these shitheads didn't know about Lauer? You think the shitheads that worked with Charlie Rose didn't know about it? They kept their mouths closed until someone else exposed them. THEN they chimed in. There will be no brownie points for that lol.
And a leftist exposed Lauer? How do you know what his accuser was? Since the Today Show reading an email sent to them about his firing is not the people on The Today Show "exposing" him.
They also kept their mouths closed for decades over Bill Clinton. So spare us all the diatribe about how they are "taking down" these people. They are absolutely 100% not. Shady little shits, just like the other side.
And if you believe his colleagues had no clue about this I have a bridge made of sparkles and dreams to sell you.
Originally posted by SurturPeople knowing about abuse and keeping quiet has nothing to do with left or right, that's a psychological thing in all of us. Fear about upsetting the man in power, fear about career, or rocking the boat too much.

ANd by leftist exposing Lauer I was referring to NBC firing him, they are left-leaning no?
The point is that leftists en masse are supporting the victims whilst right-wingers seem to be supporting the abuser. I'm sure we can agree on this point.

You spoke about leftists exposing people lol. They also didn't say a damn thing about this until other people did. That is not anything worthy of a pat on the back.
