    Have you gotten tired of coming here to 'gloat' about the latest crumb that Breitbart just tossed you yet? Starting to get tiring. I got nuthin
  2. Ron may interpret that as a personal attack I got nuthin

    Russiagate

    You're right, I was predicting what would have happened in a hypothetical situation. I shouldn't have assumed that Trump would take reports of Russian interference as a personal attack, and subsequently his blind followers would shoot the messenger...I mean, it is kind of playing out like that now when the messenger is Trump's own intelligence community, but it surely would have been better had earlier, less substantiated reports come from Obama's administration in the hyper-politicized run-up to the election.

    Russiagate

    Obama was taking modest efforts to quelch Russian interference, but I love hearing that argument that Obama should have done more to stop it. Imagine if, in the run-up to the 2016 election when Trump was campaigning and screaming about a rigged election, Obama had of come out and said that Russia was meddling. The thick skulls of you and your far-right counterparts would have exploded! I got nuthin

    Qanon

    I've mentioned this podcast a few times - they do great shows - but Reply All recently did a show where they talked about Qanon and I thought it was really interesting. It's worth a listen if you've got some time to kill and are interested in learning more about this ridiculousness: https://www.gimletmedia.com/reply-all/122-the-qanon-code#episode-player I got nuthin

    There's something familiar about your posts Marc...Short bursts of angry, quasi-coherent ramblings, often in all caps. It reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. I got nuthin

    My understanding (and I'm sure somebody will correct me if I don't have this right) is that the recordings were made in NY state where only one party of a conversation is required to consent to a recording of the conversation. I think that the conversation would normally be protected under attorney-client privilege, had Trump not given up any claims to that privilege. I'm not saying it's right: it's shady as fuck, but to specifically address the legality of it, I believe that outlines why it's legal. I got nuthin
  8. What amazes me is how a smug asshole like Trump can become President because his opponents are even worse smug assholes. This Country desperately needs a third party. If we don't get a successful challenger to the Democrat and Republican lock out of the last election then nothing will ever do it. we currently have the best president that we've ever had in your and my lifetime. The Left has been embroiled in a cultural war against America since the advent of the children of the '60s. President Trump is our first wartime president in this cultural war. The progressive left cannot be bargained with any longer. It must be summarily defeated. The strategy, as I see now, is to make America economically and militarily strong and secure our borders and thus stop illegal immigration. The progressive left can only intensify the hatred and conflict of the division. They are well rooted in the shadow government and the deep state. They must be systematically uncovered and moved to a position of neutrality. The cultural war is similar to the cold war. Let us all hope and pray that we can tear down the wall before the nuclear option is mandatory. So we've been in a war since the '60s but trump is the first wartime president of this war. That makes about as much sense as most things you post here. I got nuthin
  9. I'd use many terms to describe your postings here, but 'flow' sure as shite ain't one of them... I got nuthin
  10. IMO most reasonable people think that there are some good points on the left and right sides of the aisle; they compliment each other, and in theory should work to find a balance that extracts the best of both worlds and benefits the most people whilst doing the least damage. This whole 'anybody who doesn't hang on Trump's every word is a moron lib-tard' is getting tired. Take a step back, look at the facts and make an informed decision. Blindly believing what the angry white people on TV are screaming is dangerous. I got nuthin
  11. The Reply All podcast is a great show that does stories about the Internet. A few weeks back they did a show about the starting of INCEL....It started out innocently enough, as a place for people who were feeling isolated/lonely to connect. It actually took decades to morph into whatever it is today....It's a good listen if you've got some time to kill: https://www.gimletmedia.com/reply-all/120-invcel#episode-player I got nuthin

    Do you ever get tired of running here to post the latest Breitbart headline only to be proven wrong a few hours later? I got nuthin

    Yet another credible report from The New York Times. Congratulations for parroting left narrative. I’m not sure if you legitimately believe the shit you post or if you’ve just been taking pleasure in trolling here all this time...Either way, I honestly feel sorry for you I got nuthin
  14. Maybe I'm missing something but I just don't follow the gist of your post. I don't disagree that a lot of ignorance comes to play with people defending themselves based on an incorrect understanding of the law, but how does that relate to civil forfeiture? I got nuthin
  15. An old episode of 'Harry Potter and the half-hour lecture'. It's worth a few minutes to look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kEpZWGgJks I got nuthin

  17. Perhaps it had more to do with the fact that their testing facility is unusable, it's easier to 'give up' the program when it's not otherwise viable. https://www.wsj.com/articles/north-koreas-underground-nuclear-test-facility-is-damaged-experts-say-1524643948 I got nuthin
  18. The main/most important takeaway is that another creeper has been exposed and removed from a position of power, but I'm curious about the party-change motivation? Was this guy dumb enough to think that this move would result in a "Disgraced Republican expelled for harassment" headline and nobody would look any deeper? I got nuthin
  19. From what twisted corner of the Internet did you pull that statistic? I got nuthin
  20. Looked like there was only one instructor, guessing he's done a few jumps prior to this? I got nuthin
  21. Inigo Montoya wanted me to pass this along to you, you're welcome I got nuthin
  22. Do the assholes that dabble in dog fighting typically breed German Shepherds? (honest question, not trying to be a contrarian). I got nuthin
  23. I'm definitely not a 'Pit Bull Apologist' and I've never owned one and never intend to. You make good points but it does seem unfair to blame the breed. As has been mentioned before, the breed tends to attract people who don't really qualify as 'loving dog owners' in any sense of the term and so you end up with this combination of an incredibly powerful dog with no discipline and perhaps some anger issues due to its home life. A Shih Tzu in the hands of an asshole could be just as bad of a dog, it just wouldn't do the same damage. Again, I don't have a dog in this fight and I agree with your point that it's not only a matter of blaming the owners, but nor is it a matter of only blaming the dogs. I got nuthin
  24. In Argentina it's common for male friends to great each other with a kiss on the cheek. Nothing homosexual about it, it's just how they do. Hanging out on DZ's there where we're all family, I got caught off guard a couple of times when some dude I was just meeting went to plant one on me. I got pretty quick at shooting out my arm for a handshake! I got nuthin
