  1. In a surprise to absolutely nobody. If Russia can get away with annexing an entire country, who's going to give a shit about Xi taking Hong Kong?
  2. From that article, Bush has nothing to do with it. The alumni have organized themselves without his knowledge or support. "Bush’s office has been informed about the group, but the former president is not involved and has not indicated if he approves of its aims, she said. Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush, said Bush had retired “and won’t be wading into this election.”"
  3. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2020-02-08/two-stabbed-at-oceansides-sunset-market-street-fair?_amp=true Cool. So not dissimilar. Its taken you nearly a month to come up with this. A month without police presence. Yeah, it doesn’t surprise me that people are getting shot. That’s what happens when you have a country with 400,000 guns in circulation and no police presence. It’s not a communist state. It’s not Mogadishu. I’m surprised it’s as civil as it is, to be frank.
  4. It really isn't. To make that statement you'd need to do the math to figure out the respective population percentages of each state and the political affiliation of the people in them. Even then, it's a shit metric. Stop trying to bring this back to a simple political party debate. That's why we're so fucked. If YOUR side wears masks, MY side mustn't, because the enemy can't ever have a good idea.

    This is the problem with a second lockdown. I think people are so bored they'll just say 'well it obviously didn't work last time' and just go about their business anyway.

    There are so many tourists in San Diego now. It’s like any usual year. So many license plates from Arizona and Florida... FUCK OFF! Stay at home. Why are you vacationing right now???? We’re so fucked. The director of the CDC says it’s past the point of being able to control, and Fauci says to expect 100,000 cases a day. We’re to the point where you personally just have to do all you can to avoid catching it until there’s a vaccine, or HOPING that when you inevitably DO catch the virus that it doesn’t kill you. Fucking top job, America. This is what happens when you mix science and politics you fucking IDIOTS. A global or country wide pandemic requires a unified response, led by a functional government. ‘Let the States do what they want’ is a chickenshit way of responding and will have a quarter of a million dead by Christmas.

    What would the function of this militia be and what’s driving this discussion? What would it do? Would it function under the established laws?

    Turns out that in a completely imaginary poll I just did, 98.4% of people who AREN'T insane, paranoid, xenophobic racists believe a wall should be built around South Carolina. And South Carolina should pay for it. Of those 98.4%, 100% believe South Carolina should seceded from the US to form their own tiny, inconsequential and abhorrent city-state. Strange times.
  10. The truth is that the reaction to the coronavirus will sink the next presidency, regardless of who it is. Either socially or economically. We’re going to be a decade getting out of this hole. This isn’t a battle that will go away quickly. And voters have notoriously short memories about who initially caused a problem. Unless it was Obama, of course.
  11. He takes everything as a personal affront. Look for passive aggressive texts tonight.

    We are so fucked. That top graph looks like an internet meme it’s so ridiculous.
  13. Link Citing ‘murder and terrorism’ charges, Iran has issued an arrest warrant for Donald Trump. They’ve also asked for help from Interpol - a bit of a publicity stunt as that organization doesn’t get involved in politics, BUT Iran has also stated they’ll continue to seek Trumps arrest once his presidency is over... That could be amusing.
  14. If you didn’t realize 125,000 people are dead it’s through deliberate, willful ignorance. There can be no other reason.It’s on every news outlet, every day - even the local ones. Yet you have the temerity to question how Phil came up with a number?
  15. He hasn’t made any enemies into friends. The enemies are still enemies, they just know they can get concessions out of him easily if they say nice things about him.
  16. 4 days before the election Russia will release some great ones!

    You know why, right? Federal funding of testing sites not only doesn't directly WIN him votes in November, it actively HURTS his reelection campaign to see those numbers continue to rise. But a second stimulus cheque in the mail, well, that'll get him a few votes, and that money needs to come from somewhere. He doesn't give a shit about anything, or anyone apart from his reelection.
  18. It’s a meaningless poll. You have to combine who will vote with their location rather than just the popular vote to be able to draw meaningful conclusions. Thanks, electoral collage! Even then the sample size is too small. I still think it’ll be closer than people would like. Biden will win the popular vote, but will he sway enough independents in the swing states away from the ‘your tribe vs my tribe regardless of right or wrong’ thinking? The gerrymandering and voter suppression will also sway things in Trumps favor. I’m uncertain enough that I’m not going to call it, but I do think that if Trump wins he’ll talk about removing term limits and if he loses he’ll refuse to step down claiming the election was rigged.
  19. Go and see a neurologist. I didn't study medicine, but did study neuroscience. I think wolfriverjoe is right - there's something pinching a nerve, probably in your shoulder when you're wearing a rig where the yoke meets the shoulder strap. Try and replicate it on the ground. If you can't then it's rig related. If you can, then it's anatomy related. If the doctor OKs you, explain the situation to the dz and ask to spend some time practicing with different rigs to see if there's a size that suits you better.

    Q

    Ron, I have a genuine question, if Trump loses the election but states after that it wasn’t valid because of foreign Communist / Chinese and Democratic interference and manipulated / fraudulent postal voting and was then forced to leave the White House, what would you and those like you think / do?
  21. I've read the first chapter and it's drivel. Bolton's writing is execrable. I think most people are better off reading the highlights on various sites.
  22. The white house has clarified. Trump was making a joke apparently. Like when he suggested injecting disinfectant, I guess.
  23. I heard the term Shrodinger's Douchebag recently. Edit: Damnit, okalb beat me to it! Quick fingers!
