  1. That phrase is so lame that there's not even a cool song from the 80s to express the amount of lameness that it deserves. . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2IwOemnjbI Who cares, Jesus loves me.
  2. He should be, this is what Trump said in Ohio in 2017: But like I said, for Trumpies facts and reality have no bearing.
  3. Already gone...long before 2016. When did Trump say those jobs were not already gone? Lol, is that the new talking point? Trump always said those jobs wouldn't come back? Looks like Trump supporters in particular and Republicans in general have given up any pretense of facts and reality.
  4. President of the US proposes state media to control narrative. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1067142820388052993 What a banana republic.
  5. Ohio, Michigan and Maryland will have factories closed and workers out of jobs. Ohio and Michigan voted Trump. Elections have consequences.
  6. But the majority of Trump supporters don't see that as a bad thing, and you'll never convince them otherwise. I doubt that the majority of Trump supporters even realize that tariffs are taxes that they end up paying. Difference is you have choice not to pay the tax... It is cute that you think that. Does it help you cope?
  7. Generally the Rules of Engagement are more strict for US military in war zones than for US LEO in your communities.
  8. That isn't using it as a slur. I see the move to the political right in parts of Europe as a bad path. But that doesn't mean political right is a slur. He apologized for what the use of the word, much more than most would do here.
  9. It is a blessing of thanks for that year's harvest and until Lincoln made it a holiday - was celebrated at different times in different states. Many countries also observe Thanksgiving... not about immigrants - about giving thanks for the harvest (i.e., Japan has a Thanksgiving) True, though currently their Thanksgiving is much more Labor Day. It is called Labor Thanksgiving Day, but did morph from a Harvest festival.
  10. Does this even need commentary? https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-warns-chaos-injury-and-death-if-us-court-stays-independent-2018-11 What a Banana Republic.
  11. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you south of the border.
  12. The new “Cabinet order” was signed by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, not President Donald Trump. It allows “Department of Defense military personnel” to “perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary” to protect border agents, including “a show or use of force (including lethal force, where necessary), crowd control, temporary detention. and cursory search.” https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2018/11/21/white-house-approves-use-of-force-some-law-enforcement-roles-for-border-troops/ Yes indeed, approval of lethal force and limited policing roles.
  13. If this is normal than this must have happened quite frequently right? When was the last time an AG without senate confirmation was in place? Acting or otherwise. Ummmm. Mark Filip was "Acting" until his senate confirmation. Ummm, Mark Filip was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on March 3, 2008 to be Deputy AG. He became Acting AG after that. Want to keep digging?
  14. Concerns regarding racism and BREXIT are not uncommon at all. That is an understatement.
  15. White House has now approved lethal force and limited policing roles for military. Those so concerned about Jade Helm previously are eerily quiet. Bunch of racist fucks.
  16. If this is normal than this must have happened quite frequently right? When was the last time an AG without senate confirmation was in place? Acting or otherwise.
  17. I don't think this country has anything much to do with manufacturing clothing, fruit, or anything else related to central american business that's worth having the OP repeat it ad nauseam. Trump is no Sam Zemurray. John Dean disagrees https://www.newsweek.com/john-dean-donald-trump-worse-nixon-stuff-banana-republic-1225862
  18. Can't have any uppity black people. Disastrous to American values.
  19. Boy does this thread ever show how incredibly gullible Trump supporters are. A near zero ability to think for themselves. Never mind that a US President just used the military domestically to stoke fear among its population for purely political purposes.
  20. The more you think about it, the more amazing the idea becomes that Trump thought Finland has fewer forest fires because they clear their forests better. Is it the fact that even southern Finland is 1500 miles further north than Sacramento that makes it so good? Is it that the average annual temperature of the central region is 20C colder? Is it that much of Finland's forests are under snow for 7 months of the year while much of California's wildfire areas have more summer sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in the world? Maybe it's that most of the space in Finland that isn't forest is either lake or bog instead of arid grassland, or maybe the idea that a country of 5.5M people could ever effectively manage fire suppression over 100,000sq miles of forest in the first place. Put it all together and it might just be my favourite thing he's ever said. Just shows how incredibly stupid the man is. Never mind those who support him.
  21. Assuming you are aware of your own viewpoint. Right and left very much depend on where you stand.
  22. Just shows the level of gerrymandering taking place: 2010 election: 45 million people voted Republican. 2018 election: 60 million people voted Democrat.
  23. He doesn't put stock in what Jesus says, what you so damn special? I think you a word.
  24. You should totally send this to your special ops friends. They will be astounded by your insight!
