    Frankly, I wish more people would be active in policing their own side more. At least these free speech liberals are active in the fight. After Trump got the nomination in 16 it all but died on the right.

    Politics is all consumed with mobs and reactionary tit for tat. It's a snow ball rolling down the hill and i have no idea how it stops.

        Alex Jones last week received a standing ovation at a Turning Point USA conference.

        TPUS is the center of the GOP.

        This both sides concern is akin to the climate change debates that raged on CNN/Fox/MSNBC 8 years.

            I couldn't care less about the Republican Party except that, if you read books (which apparently you don't) and would think before you post (obviously you don't), you'd understand that at least two competitive parties are essential for a healthy democracy.

              Please explain how her criticisms of Saudi Arabia demonstrate her conflicts of interest to oil rich countries.

              Or are we just leveling criticisms simply based on race at this point?
              We get it. You think you're the most virtuous motherfucker on this board, and you love to come school the white LDS guys about your kind of virtue. You don't need to keep telling us, that's not what truly virtuous people do.

              But your incivility is not virtuous in any context. You're rude, and kindness, not rudeness, is virtuous.

              She didn't say anything about Saudi Arabia in the video. Her comment about financing fossil fuels clearly was directed at least in part at domestic concerns as she referred to domestic banks with student loan funds. (She is on record as sympathetic to oil rich countries other than Saudi Arabia.)

              You presume that because she has criticized Saudi Arabia she's critical of all oil rich countries. Now who's putting all Muslims in the same bucket?

                  You couldn’t care less about the GOP but we need two competitive parties for a healthy democracy? In other words you care deeply about the current state of the GOP.

                  Sounds like someone has started the martini train at lunch or maybe it’s a Chambombs for everyone style brunch!

                    LOL, I’m not virtue signaling here. I’ve been on record for years saying that both parties need to be strong.

                    I’m not here to defend Talib. I don’t like her, I wish she would go away. The Squads style of polity is annoying, dangerous and myopic. But your criticism of Talib reeks of ignorance and latent racism. Do you even know that the US is the number 1 producer of oil? The number 2? Russia.

                    But hey let’s take a shot at a brown lady about her supposed sympathies to OPEC countries over Americas energy interests.
