  1. I hope not. He may threaten more suits than he files - but he still files a lot. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  2. Right, and you still can't assume that they're going to attack only because they didn't do what you told them, and use that assumption as a justification for shooting them. Yes, being a policeman is a tough job. No, they shouldn't be allowed to make that job easier by shooting first and attempting to find out what was happening second. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  3. You have previously asserted that citizens should always comply with illegal orders from the police because otherwise they could get shot. You apparently believe that the right to challenge the overreach of government authority should be subordinate to the fear of government authority. If that's not the description of a police state then what the hell is? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  4. We knew it in 2003. Well, everyone but Bush, Blair and their blind supporters knew it. There was a commitment to do what Iraq wanted us to do, and that was to leave. But Bush had a brilliant exit strategy! Bomb the shit out of the infrastructure. Invade. Receive flowers from locals. Rebuild infrastructure from scratch while all locals express only their gratitude. Send the troops home riding unicorns over a bridge of rainbows. Can't understand where it went wrong. Must be Obama's fault. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  5. From late January: There may be somebody with tomatoes in the audience. So if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell— I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise. It won’t be so much ’cause the courts agree with us too. Thanks. ....OK, so retaliation against aggravated assault. But, I'd let them throw the tomato first ....just to bolster my case. If you want to play with technicalities. But even then he's encouraging illegal behaviour. You can't defend someone else from something that won't hurt them by beating the crap out their would be maybe assailant. It's illegal. Heck, you could probably class it as incitement to riot. But since you started off by saying you thought Trump told his supporters to 'defend themselves from violence directed at them' you've now backed a long way off that. And since you live in the real world and you know that beating the crap out of someone because they might throw a tomato is not meeting violence with violence, but being the violent aggressor then you know you've lost this one, you just don't have the grace to admit it.

  6. You seem to be implying that it's OK for a cop to kill someone because they are deaf and can't hear the "orders" or they are autistic and don't understand what is going on. Do the police not have any responsibility to assess the situation and determine if there is an actual threat, beyond a failure to instantly comply? Don No. I'm saying that until the threat is mitigated, it's still a potential threat to the public, the officers involved, and the threat source themselves in that priority order. For deaf people, they know there may be a difficulty so should be very passive with their hands clearly open, visible, and empty while saying they are deaf. As for autistic and other mental illnesses that's tougher. Perhaps they can be "trained" similarly to the deaf people? If not, perhaps should not be out in public alone. I have literally never in my life talked to a person so deeply in love with the idea of a police state. If it was satire, it would be brilliant. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  7. So you wouldn't protect your family, even if it was their fault? Thus illustrating the bullshit indoctrination that helps create the problem in the first place. I'm just curious. People say things, and may have the best noble intentions, but when the shit gets real, and a family member fucks up, who here would not protect their close family member to the best of their ability? A) It's irrelevant. Co-workers are not family. There is no reason for cops to be taught to think of their fellow officers as brothers and sisters. B) Me. If my sister murdered someone I wouldn't lie or destroy evidence to protect her from the law. But then, I also know that the case wouldn't be investigated by my other family members, and that if it was discovered that I destroyed evidence it wouldn't be swept under the rug and I would also be in a lot of trouble.

  8. So? Even if you could tell that from basically fuck-all information... so what? You can write a paper about the source of Islamic law without ever advocating for the application or use of Islamic law. That's how religion and philosophy work. You can argue the minutest detail of the written statements and internal consistency of any given belief system without needing to believe a word of it yourself. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  9. Great goal. Was never going to happen. Ever. It was very predictable what would happen when Bush signed the exit agrement. It was very predictable (and was predicted) what would happen from the moment Bush decided to invade! And what did Bush think about schedules and strategies changing? Q (As translated.) A question, Mr. Prime Minister and others, you all talked about the various gains that will come as a result of signing this agreement. But just quickly I have one question about the withdrawal of American forces. Is this going to be an accelerated process that will happen quickly and perhaps prematurely? PRESIDENT BUSH: First of all, we're here at the Iraqi -- at the request of the Iraqi government. It's an elected government. There are certain benchmarks that will be met -- such as troops out of the cities by June of '09. And then there's a benchmark at the end of the agreement. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

  11. More like a lesson, given in the only language (legal action) that he seems to understand. If he becomes President the things he says, especially in the field of foreign relations, will mean stuff and have consequences. I think it's going to be very difficult for him to come to that realization, therefore this is a bit of pre-emptive help Do you want to have an ideagasm?

  13. Which leaders? What was it? Trump isn't a Tea Partier. He isn't anything. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  14. Then you also get into authority vs ability. Even if it was legal under US procedure (and I'm pretty sure you would need a Congressional declaration of war) it would be a war crime - and I would think there would be enough people in the chain who didn't want to go down as one of history's greatest mass murderers that the order would not be carried out. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  15. Why should he have been worried? Do you think there's a problem with his history? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  16. Well, those bone spurs in his heels must have hurt a bit. Enough to get him out of the draft. http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/02/politics/donald-trump-purple-heart/index.html He always wanted one? Why would anyone want to get a purple heart? If you merge it with his comments about McCain he's basically saying he always wanted to be a soldier who was really bad at being a soldier...

  17. Venzuela Venezuela? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  18. I just found that and... wow "Khan’s connections with the Hogan Lovells firm run deep, according to a report from Law.com written by Katelyn Polantz. “Many lawyers at Hogan Lovells remember the week in 2004 when U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan lost his life to a suicide bomber,” Polantz wrote. “Then-Hogan & Hartson attorneys mourned the death because the soldier’s father, Khizr Khan, a Muslim American immigrant, was among their beloved colleagues.”" Only the far right hate press could try and turn colleagues sympathising with a grieving co-worker into something sinister. Bunch of utter cunts. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  19. Translation: JAKE and you have no rebuttle, so you will just make noise. Rebuttle? To what? Are you saying you actually know what he meant? What is the cloak of worthless virtue, and how was Normiss wrapping himself around it? Or even (to be charitable and rearrange Boomer's sentence for him) wrapping himself in it? If you can translate it into english, in what way was it a rebuttle? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  20. If you wish to believe that, then i've done my job a lot better than I thought! Thanks! Mangling idioms is a job? I'd get in on that if it pays - old rope for money! Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  21. [paraphrase] I didn't lose; I won for the American people!! My campaign brought to light some important issues that now have to be addressed by the politico's in Washington. That's the art of being a great negotiator - to win even when people think you lost. We won.. All of America won because I ran. [/paraphrase] How'd I do? Too coherent! The essence is there, just run it through google translate to Finnish and back again, repeat a few key phrases 5 times for no apparent reason then get a 12 year old with ADD to read it and you'll be getting pretty close! Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  22. How and why would you wrap yourself around a cloak? It's impressive that you've got this far in life without knowing how clothes work! Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  23. Partly the boring old fallback of 'the media' - but I'm pretty sure he's also going to blame the american people for being too stupid to vote for him. That's going to be awesome Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  24. It's a figure of speech. If it's a lie, it was benign. Your claim that it creates an 'emotional response' is a lie, and (IMO) deliberate. So congratulations, you've just put yourself below the level of the person you think you're calling out. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  25. Why did the shooter pull the trigger? Because they were playing pokemon? No. But everyone who commented on the thread, apart from the knee jerk defenders, knew that. So it had no bearing on any reaction, emotional or otherwise. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
