Could someone please explain to me what the contents of this supposed dossier on Pres.Trump were?
Read that it's an alleged hoax from 4chan.

Wait I'm confused: does ''whip up'' means you can make the dish at home?
If yes then oops sorry, yes you are right we can make it quite easily.
Ack! Yes, it does. At least that's how I use that phrase. Sorry for confusing you.

You guys should try a Poutine (no not the person lol), 10 times better than Mcdonald
Sounds good. Don't think California sells that dish? Would probably be easy to whip up at home, though.

Chicken nuggets are pretty good.
When I feel like eating a greasy cheeseburger, this is the first place I think of. Mm-mm.

Sigh. Yes, I know there's no point in asking this, since everyone else has come to their own conclusion on what that means.
Quite nice to read everyone's points nonetheless.

Feeling down. Obligatory edgy "sometimes I really hate the human race" and a "why are we hurting each other?" for you guys/gals/whatever.

Depends on the type of religion, what they believe in, and the impact they have on society as a whole. Plenty of people believe in it to get through their day or use it as a concentration tactic during times of crisis.
I believe religious extremism and cults have done more harm, since it seems that their leaders always become corrupt. That's not to say that your local pastor, nun, etc aren't just as susceptible to corruption as them. Power tends to do things to people in leadership positions or who are in a position to care for others.
Good thing there are still plenty of good natured people on this planet.

that's when the legal system kicks in, so yeah
what I meant by that statement was I have a feeling that a lot of people who spent time in this thread are going to dislike me for my thoughts
people will acuse you of things when they don't even know you or what you've been through
...I'm not going to hate you, unless you've done something illegal.

Actually, you don't, and if you were getting out of line, I'd step in and say something (which I haven't, until now).
Felt I was out of line. I could have phrased it nicely at the very least.

...Fuck. I now look like an asshole. Sorry for lashing out.

Way to be fucking condescending. That viewpoint is just as valid as your stupid one.

i mean the trump administration literally just did repeal one of Obama's transgender protections as posted by him earlier so i'm not sure why you're saying it's speculation
now you can argue if that was a good law or not or whatever but he has legitimately already done this so... yeah.
M'kay.
Edit: Not like I can do anything about it. I'm a simple woman who is a bit directionless in life. I've had my share of health problems and insecurity, but also happy moments, y'know, mundane.
Aah, I just feel apathetic about everything. Ideology has done absolutely nothing for me. I look and look, yet there is not one that fits me.

I thought his stance was taken when he made Pence his VP.Remember this?
http://www.advocate.com/politics/2017/1/30/trump-backtracks-campaign-promise-wont-overturn-lgbt-protectionsCouldn't even wait a whole month before going back on it. How anyone can support Trump from being different to normal politicians is beyond me. He's basically all the worst aspects of modern politics incarnate.
Isn't that article just speculating? I have nothing against speculation, but it just seems to pointlessly rile people up. Trump hasn't confirmed or denied that he's going repeal Obama's actions (avoiding or leaving the subject for last), so the LGBT+ community is understandably worried.

violence is not always for that purpose. sometimes it is used in self-defense. or, as mlk put it, "...in the final analysis, riots [a violent activity] are the voice of the unheard." it's more subtle than you make it, i think.
that technicality doesn't make sense, nor do the ideas that follow. unless you're a nihilist i guess.
I guess I have some nihilistic tendencies. Maybe. It could also be depression influencing my thoughts (just recently got my anxiety meds refilled).
Switching mentally between nihilism and a genuine appreciation of humanity's achievements, while doing absolutely nothing to better yourself because you hate yourself, is pointless.
Whatever, I'm figuring out where I stand still. Perhaps I could of phrased it better. -
I wonder why there aren't many cringe or "rekt" compilations of the alt-right, conservatives, etc on YouTube?

trying to be offensive and flamboyant just makes it more pathetic, but still boring
I guess.

I still think the article is using the term "boring" wrong. While, yes, he is repeating statements others of his political alignment have made. I wouldn't call a man who dresses up and makes every lecture/event a bit humorous by cracking a few off color remarks, boring. You can say he's immature.
It's not often that you see invited speakers like him at college.

yeah, except this is where you would use a thing called context. trying to point out that every subjective term is subjective is a pedantic exercise that seems to almost willfully ignore the actual ideas being expressed.
You lost me. What?

i don't know what "boring, technically" means tbh
Sigh. Of course.
What a person finds boring, another person doesn't. A group of recluses would probably consider those who go outside a lot to be boring. That same group of recluses would also find shallow conversation boring (IE "what's the weather", or any non-committal response to a easy topic) unlike topics that'd challenge them intellectually.
You could apply this scenario to every other person on the planet.

There's no such thing as a peaceful act of violence. Violence is used to terrorize, subdue, and control others. That's why I hate it.
Regarding that Vice article. Was it really necessary to describe Milo fanboys as the most visually unappealing people ever?
Everyone on this planet is fucking boring, technically. Any opinion you or I hold does not matter once we are dead. People are free to distort our thinking in any way they see fit.
What was the point of this article? You can already look up most of the stuff presented in the article by yourself.

Broadly speaking, I am happy because the consequences of him being a malicious troll who goes out of his way to upset people has finally caught up with him. This is more to do with his resignation and losing his seat on the CPAC though, the book is something I never really cared about. Mostly just commenting that it happened. Apologies for my poor wording.
Nah, it's okay.
-
Eh, I've no idea why you're so happy, it's not like Milo doesn't have the option to publish it himself or make it into a downloadable pdf.

Responses aren't showing up for me-- I'm getting quote notifications, but nothing's showing up beyond my last post.
Anyways, I'll just say that I could definitely have expressed myself better and there seems to have been some misunderstandings brought about by some of my more emotional responses. I'm clearly not well researched enough to carry a conversation in this thread; back to lurking for the time being.
That problem occurs on my end as well.

Wow. Now I'm curious as to what sort of form that propaganda took on.
Going to attempt to find and read this dossier myself.
