  1. What does that mean? How should they "pay in more"? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  2. It's so cute you think that's a news agency. Also, you'll notice they didn't even offer a view of their own, they just paraphrased Trump's comments. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Oh sure. It's just nice when you can feel someone's really having fun writing their reports. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    I really do love that he felt the need to back that up to such a degree. Could just as well have said "Based on my being a conscious, literate human" couldn't he? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Oh for fuck's sake, someone taught it a new catchphrase. Get ready for six more months of hilarity with this one, people. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  6. What do you mean by that? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  7. This is a good point, actually. Because of the weak and pliable nature of Donald Trump, Putin is indeed a person of greater power. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  8. Who is we? And do you even remotely care what the rest of the people in your country want? Being part of society means coexisting with the other people in it, not planning how best to split the country into your part and their part. Why is it that division and spite are the only plans you can come up with? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  9. He is 'the people' too. You and Ron both seem to think the country belongs to you, and everyone else just lives there. It's an ugly attitude. I believe those people are not the rest of the country but rather those centered in the left coast, Chicago, Milwaukee, New York and New England, and parts of Michigan. Those are the heavily populated areas of progressive liberalism. Yes, you would like to believe that. But even in your own state Trump barely scraped 50% of the vote, and only 5% more than Hillary. Yeah yeah, we’re all well aware by now of your love of divisive politics and cultural war. Like is said, it’s just ugly. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

  11. Only the idiots who believe Trump. I don't remember it ever being an issue before Trump started banging the drum at his xenophobic base and feeding them this imaginary version of Nato. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  12. All of it. You'd be spending all of it. You'd be saving a few tens of millions on admin, but you'd just spend it elsewhere. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  13. You shouldn’t, but you will anyway and it has absolutely nothing to do with Nato. The US fetishises its military to a frankly quite unhealthy degree that no one else in the world really understands. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  14. Of all the most outrageous claims made by it about Trump, the claim that he is the first president since the ‘60s is the most hilarious. As to the rest - the nature of your rhetoric proves the lie in your message. You aspire to be a divisive, destructive force against the society you are a part of, and you revel in the chaos. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  15. Trump said good things about Kim Jong Un. Does that mean the US government thinks Kim is good? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  16. He had a history of winning elections. Errr. Mahhh. Geeerrrrrrrrd! Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  17. Careful Rush, your leg is tingling. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  18. You mean, they're promising to do what they already promised to do? But they aren't currently doing what they already promised to do, so by definition their promises aren't reliable. Why is this promise different? Did the NK thing not teach you to wait and see what actually happens before declaring victory? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    I think that was painful for everyone involved. It is hilarious though that they don't realise every accusation or insinuation they make about Strzok's political bias undermines not only their investigation of him, but their years of investigation against Clinton. The idea they're trying to sell is that a career FBI agent who expresses any political opinion cannot participate in an investigation of a political figure, but that elected partisan politicians can carry out reliable, trustworthy investigations of their direct party-political opponents. Ok guys. Whatever you say Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  20. What’s your problem with the NYT? Give some examples. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  21. Then you should probably change you breakdown of how the conversation went. Right now you’re taking the contradictory positions that you stated the US was not threatened and that the US was threatened. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  22. Sorry Dan, but that’s a gross misrepresentation of the conversation. Your first post in this thread explicitly acknowledged that US freedom was not under threat when you entered WW2. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  23. In this case it's more complicated than that, but through the byzantine insanity that was late 19th to mid 20th century international politics, pieces of paper were that important. WW1 kciked off over a few pieces of paper. Most other nations joined WW2 over pieces of paper. Absolutely. But results don't define intentions. Although winning in europe closed down the concentration camps, it doesn't follow that the US joined the war to stop the holocaust. Although winning in the Pacific halted Japanese atrocities in China and Burma, the US didn't join the war in order to protect Chinese citizens. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  24. Ron has on several occasions quoted the Romans line "Render unto Caesar" and explained that it means any national laws and any commands from a national ruler supercede the other teachings of Jesus. If the state orders you to kill for whatever reason, you kill, and Jesus approves of it. That's also how he can justify not caring one iota about any fellow member of the human race who was born outside the borders of the USA. It's a quite stunning reversal of the philosophy that should result from believing that all of humanity was created equal by god, and a perfect example of how religion can be manipulated into meaning whatever the believer wants it to mean.
