Yeah, tempted to say at this point that even without Trump we'd find something to argue about.
-
Quite possibly but what they're doing is more likely to bring about what they fear. Trump can't just make America a police state. He needs a reason to do it that will scan with the public. Enter Antifa. How long before we start seeing false flags on this as well...
-
The worrying thing for me is that these protesters are upping the ante by becoming violent - and that protest actually sounds pretty bad. Fireworks fired into the building, break ins, rocks being thrown, etc. Trump can very easily say they're attacking free speech, and to be honest, how much of this does he need to happen before it's built up enough for him to be able to claim that additional force is required to handle these issues. I imagine they'll be branded terrorist organisations at some point if they keep this up. 'Playing into his hands' , I would call this. Which is why political violence can only ever be a last resort. If Trump decides that this is a physical fight rather than a hearts and minds one, he'll fucking destroy them.

Did you see what Antifa were doing to the student union I woulda fucking cancelled it as well. I'm not sure he can claim that Berkeley did it for political reasons, they seem to have done it simply because Antifa activists are utter psychos. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/01/milo-yiannopoulos-uc-berkeley-event-cancelled

I thought it did come directly from the perpetrator... it comes from the state, does it? Then I agree, that's weird.

Newcastle United v QPR - Weds 1st of Feb 19:45
Rayvin replied to wykikitoon's topic in Newcastle Forum
We'll be fine, it was just one result. Our home form has been a bit questionable anyway. That said, if we do miss the auto slots we won't go up at all. No chance is this club capable of winning play offs. -

The level of jinxing going on in this thread is unbelievable -
Yeah it won't be pretty. I really don't think we'll lose though, we're just hesitant because of the Oxford game.

Generic small time football blather thread 2015/16
Rayvin replied to The Fish's topic in Newcastle Forum
I really enjoy watching Arsenal Fan TV -
Bet you're all missing my inadequately cited arguments now.
-
Aye good points and probably the way Ashley will look at it at least.
-
You think it'd take that much? There's a lot of shite at the lower end of the PL, I'm really not sure how far off we are from them. Although I'll readily concede that it's not worth taking any risks.
-
I don't even remember that name tbf. And aye, the Sels experient has gone the same way as Guardiola's Bravo experiment. The only thing that might offer us some hope with him is that every new keeper we get seems shite at first. Elliot certainly did.
-
Agreed, there's no reason to worry. Our squad was Championship proof at the start of the season, to the point where it arguably wasn't worth bringing people in anyway. I get that Shelvey getting injured is a massive concern, but aside from him there aren't any areas of weakness in the squad. Palace can fuck off.
-
Thanks.
-
That sounds highly ambitious to me like I guess you never know but it's looking far more like it'll be no one at all.
-
I think McCarthy was our best chance for a Shelvey option, and at £20m it just isn't worth it. Better off waiting for the summer on that one. I could see Ritchie and Townsend being alternated to some reasonable degree of effectiveness though.
-
I have totally lost the will for this now and as curious as I am about what relevance the methodology used in the statistical analysis of bird migration patterns has, I'll just concede the whole thing.
-
I think all that's required is that CT comes back so we can all unify around his ridiculous views rather than mine. Or I could learn to just shut the fuck up about politics and limit my discussions to football
-
I see. Presumably I should be looking for your evidence for you? EDIT - scratch that, you're saying you want more evidence than I've already given you, in actual fact. It's pointless though isn't it, because you won't give it the time of day anyway. Hence, I note that this is a futile task for me I guess I get something out of sounding ideas out, maybe that gives me something back.
-
I certainly didn't intend to suggest it was imminent. I literally just threw it out there because I thought it was interesting! To be fair to you guys, I don't know why I keep getting pulled into this, and it must be getting tiresome. I keep thinking 'I'll leave it there' but sometimes you guys post things that I think are just so flagrantly wrong that I can't help myself I'm not raging - I enjoy fierce debate though As I said mind, I should step back a bit. I've posted articles, I've cited my evidence, if you still reject it after appraising them then fine. I can't see any significant counter evidence to the contrary being made though. Just baseless claims. I do genuinely think I have demonstrated in the past that I'm prepared to be 'convinced' with the right evidence. However, I accept that none of you are likely going to want to bother sourcing your arguments since you all have jobs and such, so this really is all a bit futile on my side.
-
Er...agreed. But since AH came and made the point in jest, I threw in the random factoid about this just for the hell of it. It was never intended as a furthering of the discussion. Which is patently obvious, surely. Here's the post you replied to: What made you think that I was furthering a discussion about Trump with that? I mean, I know my views are being rounded on at every opportunity here, but come on
-
Bernie was promising jobs - he was promising some quite similar things, just with a progressive stance backing it. Did you read the fucking article man? It clearly says that local Democrats in these areas were dismayed that the Clinton campaign decided to push the attack on Trump on the basis of misogyny and so on rather than addressing the economic issues that had won these areas for the Democrats every time for the past 40 years. If that's not Hillary's fault - and keep in mind that these are the areas that lost her the Presidency, then whose fault is it?

Um, that's how it appears to work. Please note, I'm citing things. You guys are just blithely rejecting everything I'm saying on the basis of fuck all
