Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

LOL.

Did you read the NYTimes Magazine piece about Ben Rhodes?

He brags about writing narratives to sell policy.

 

What that idiot pig "promises" doesn't mean shit, because every fucking thing he says is a lie and he's too stupid to know what he's talking about anyway.

 

How was Hillary an architect of that failed policy just because she voted for the war?

 

I'm not sure I agree with the second part of that. He doesn't bring her a state that's a toss-up, but he certainly could help bring some independents on board who are convinced he'd influence policy from within. She doesn't really need an African American or Latino to get their votes this cycle, but he might help with younger white voters.

 

Even more than that. Mission Accomplished. They had it planned even before Saddam was captured.

Read the speeches of Bush, Cheney, etc. All of them using similar words. "Cut and run." "We don't surrender." "The enemy." "Victory." Repeated over, and over again.

I know every war has its propaganda, but you'd think, after a while, the public would figure out that they're being sold a bill of goods.

 

I'd think it would take care of any concerns about party unity and the Bernie Bros sitting out.

That's two-thirds of YF's material!

 

Does she have some successes as SoS that I missed?

The failed Libyan state is on her.

 

Like most of YF's material, it is based on a meaningless faux concern.

The Bernie Bros are a lot louder on the Internet than in the polls.

 

They used terms like enemy and victory during a war? How dare they!

 

I will say, and perhaps this anecdotal, but Bernie is winning my Reddit and Facebook primaries by a landslide.

 

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." Bush ... Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005

And if you ever did listen to one of his speeches, it wasn't like he'd say those words once or twice in a speech. It was over, and over again.

 

Nope. Libya was already in chaos even before we did our brief intervention. You seem to forget that the rebels were asking the UN for help because Gaddafi was retaliating against civilians.
