Topic: Great article about how Trump is working with shady right-wing lobbyists
Anonymous A started this discussion 9 years ago#57,380
Yes, Donald Trump’s politics are incoherent. But those who surround him know just what they want, and his lack of clarity enhances their power. To understand what is coming, we need to understand who they are. I know all too well, because I have spent the past 15 years fighting them.
Over this time, I have watched as tobacco, coal, oil, chemicals and biotech companies have poured billions of dollars into an international misinformation machine composed of thinktanks, bloggers and fake citizens’ groups. Its purpose is to portray the interests of billionaires as the interests of the common people, to wage war against trade unions and beat down attempts to regulate business and tax the very rich. Now the people who helped run this machine are shaping the government.
[...]
I could fill this newspaper with the names of Trump staffers who have emerged from such groups

You denounce Soros as a shadowy billionaire, but you stick your head in the sand at the obvious right-wing shadowy groups. Pathetic

So let me just get this straight... Soros funding BLM makes him a bad guy. But you think there's nothing wrong with rightist billionaire lobbyists doing things like hiding their investors, spreading misinformation about climate change science, and setting up fake activist blogs and groups?
Why is that? Is it because you don't really mind shady billionaires pulling strings, as long as they're helping your side? That's why, isn't it?

Find me one credible source of right-wing gazzillionaires and them funding whateverthefuck you are implying is happening.
Here on the other hand is Soros, openly talking how he crushes governments for shits and giggles, and look who appears on his side, the Clinton Crew. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8Ux5b6YM9A
And before you start citing huffpo or some other MSM, they have been playing 5D underwater monopoly chess with hurdles on 120 meters for the past few months, and they themselves don't know anymore what agenda to push. It seems they are just into making everyone mad and overfed on disinfo so everyone stops reading any news at all. Because labeling the truth as 'fake news' didn't work, they gone full bananas now.
Explain this article. Appaently the right invented political correctness. Fuck my life if you guys make any sense any more. Do you have mad cow or something?

Sources are in the article I linked. It's quite well documented.
Love how you try to change the subject to Soros because you can't even defend anything these rightist lobbyists are doing. It's so awful for Soros to be seen with Clinton's team, but Trump's staff is brimming with dodgy lobbyists and you don't say shit. You fucking hypocrite.

And I'll repeat my question, can you provide credible sources. Emphasis on credible.

EDIT: and while you're at it, please comment the article I linked about PC.

I told you, every claim in the article is sourced. Go read it for the sources.
Fuck me. You're just going to be awkward about sources and try to steer the conversation to Soros, rather than dare admit that any of Trump's pals might be shady.

Most of the sources in that article are older the guardian master pieces that cite other the guardian articles, or newyorker or some shit. One blog on an .edu domain, some "reports" published by "scientists".
While in the video I linked you, you have Soros himself talking about well, Soros himself.
And speaking of steering away, you didn't address the PC article I linked you.
Don't get me wrong, I talk like a retard to retards. As Croatians would say: klin se klinom izbija. (if you missed the point, I called your way of "arguing" retarded, and I'm feeding you your own medicine)

And of course you can't even entertain that Trump has any sketchy investors working with him. I fucking knew you couldn't say anything critical of him or even the people who help him, even when it's spelled out for you. Thanks for proving me right.

Mein negro, I was never fond of Trump, nor does the whole election thing, your retardedness, the "rising of the alt-right" etc. affect me in any way.
I sure love to plaster some MAGA around here to trigger idiots like you, but that's about it. Neither of the 2 fucktards running for POTUS was a good choice, but Trump sure was the lesser evil. But as I said, USA politics doesn't concern me as long as they keep it within their borders (and what you are linking is clearly Trump and his shady business within the USA). On the other hand, Clintons shady business includes the global economy, weapons deals leading to WW3 and child trafficking (inb4 pizzagate is 'fake news').
It was fun to play with your feelings, but I'm now off to hold a talk on a dev. conference. Cheers faglord!

So you're right-wing now, Doctor?
You always seemed to align with the left on Tinychan.
