SOTU

[Fogdog]

His post was backed by some pretty solid statistics and I'm happily the first to call bullshit when I see it.

If you're wrong about something just concede the point, its not a loss, it means you've learnt something.

Have I been too rough on the guy?

Have I been too rough on the guy?

No not at all, I was referring to Bucks use of statistics that he refuses to accept.

 

[Sour Wreck]

You're a republican

pretty soon calling someone a republican will be an insult on the level of 'i fucked your mother last night'

Mazel toving and twiddling of fingers on msnbc with a celebratory countdown.......

Not triggered.. although, jew hater is pretty rough, and couldn't be futher from the truth.... ok. sorry I'm not always as concise as possible too. I shouldn't use that as a qualifier - my only point here is buck's original post paints a quite biased view of entitlements payouts versus states productivity through the lens of political affiliations...

they're only called entitlements until after righties get their tax cut.

 

[schuylaar]

Actually, all i did was google "political affiliation versus social benefits," and used nothing beyond the first half page of results. Also precisely why i posted a link to an artical that discusses the dangers of twisted stats regurgitated by biased dumbasses and clans of political whores you're claiming i belong to.. Not trying to convince you of anything by sharing my education on data and stats btw, other than the fact that i know what correlation is. Also, to avoid bias is why i posted like 5 links and data visualizations only from the Pew Trust instead of one biased fake cherry-picked graphic from CN fucking N whores.... sorry for the longer than 4-line reply.... as i said before, this is a rather nuanced issue that you clearly don't get... I'm moderate, and was simply trying to convey that buck is a dumbass that more closely fits your idea of dangerous political bias. Did i even mention causality? Do you know what that is? No? Yes? Did you know rape increases with icecream sales? Must be all those white bigots chomming on vanilla cones and gettin all hopped up on cornsugar, eh? Equally nonsensical correlation... i get it.

you're little formula of twisted stats regurgitated..Trump is the perfect example. this whole time he's been going with 'no collusion' when nobody's even talking about..it's been about 'obstruction' for forever and he JUST found this out per his tweet two days ago when commenting on #releasethememo 'complete vindication'. fox is closed loop of hannity-isms. Trump is stuck in this loop..Trump is also only talking to his base of 32-37%

@ColoradoHighGrower was invoking an anti-semitic stereotype.

 

[ColoradoHighGrower]

I'm not afraid to admit when i'm wrong, come on... just not convinced that i am quite yet, because It depends on what you count and what you discount in the calculation of a state's "productivity" over what feds "pay" to that state, that's all. That's why @UncleBuck 's numbers are generally no larger than 1 (suggesting most states are at a gross deficit), while the numbers/article i posted show that the lowest states (e.g., MS) are slightly above 1 (suggesting state GDPs are higher than recieved fed funding). How can these sets be 100% or more different, if one or both sides aren't telling the whole truth?

Yes, most if not all republicans are assholes, with dems in hot pursuit. I'm a registerred dem, voted bernie round 1, and stein in Nov, mainly as a fuck you to the two-party jokers...

the counties that voted for trump are poorer, sicker, higher unemployment, less productive, and whiter than the counties that voted for clinton.

this is undeniable fact, i have even graphed it out for ya.

Lol- dude, why are you so hell bent on labeling everyone antisemites? All i did was share what i literally watch Rachel and crew do on live tv, which included several mazel toving while celebrating the shutdown as an opportunity to blame one party for a two-party failure here. I'm not supporting trumpdump by any means, but i get sick at the constant two party idiocy that frames the public discourse in mainstream media. Gimme enough time, and I'll post plenty of negative stuff about fox anchors too- i just don't watch fox very often..

your beloved republicans control the house, senate, and executive, and you want to claim the shutdown is a two party failure?

LOL shut the fuck up

 

[ColoradoHighGrower]

Yes, my throw-away vote was a hard choice, but I'm pretty sick of political dynasty and think we deserve sooo much better @UncleBuck

 

[ColoradoHighGrower]

your beloved republicans

Don't you mean our beloved republicans? I should have named t his post STFU, not SOTU.

Then you voted for trump. as you sow, so shall you reap.

 

[abandonconflict]

In some states, it was reasonable to assume that voting third party was a statement, but not in swing states. In swing states, you are essentially voting for one of the big parties even if you don't vote at all. Preaching about Bernie long after he endorsed Clinton may as well have been the same as wearing a Maga hat though.

 

[SneekyNinja]

This is more to the point than anything either buck or i have posted here.

More to the point?

It tracks Twitter stats; I follow Trump and not Clinton...doesnt make me a Trump supporter, it just means I like watching a car crash.

Twitter stats as statistical indicators...low information idiots.

 

[schuylaar]

This is more to the point than anything either buck or i have posted here.

it confirms righties don't share info with anyone other than those with same beliefs- other righties. even the clinton-only followers, were open to other sharing of info and did- this is what's scary about social media because you can insulate yourself..and with a social group that's well known to be insular to begin with? that equals trouble. Trump's new found use of the word 'obstruction' underscores the insulation to the highest degree.
