  1. To have any chance of rational decision making at that level......church and state must be kept far apart.
  2. When Bush stated that the upcoming battle against Saddam, was to simply ensure the sovereignty of Kuwait.....I laughed for about 5 minutes....
  3. See: Saddam Hussain
  4. ....it has been done....
  5. The next one - Jon or Tyrion or whoever....who starts blubbering about "my Queen"....must die,
  6. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/443666-richard-spencer-charlottesville-wouldnt-have-occurred-without
  7. Biden is the front runner right now - on name recognition, likeability and ability to raise dough. But I suspect as time wears on - his age, perceived lack of "killer" and being labelled as "yesterday's man, "status quo" by the progressives, will take it's toll.
  8. Hopefully, in all that.....some intelligent life will be found....
  9. WITCHUNT! CRAZED DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVES!! DEEP STATE COLLUSION! GESTAPO TACTICS!!
  10. Away from this thread for half an hour......come back and see that is has totally gone south....again. Points are for supporting opinions and even arguments......not merely a some form of general stabbing or gutting tool. Simply denigrating or insulting people, despite whatever personal satisfaction one gets out of it.....is squaring circles....and has never won an argument yet.

  11. Ok, in the interests of fairness, here is a reason to vote for Trump... https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/13/donald-trump-red-sox-1317856
  12. Lots of broad brush stroking, here....
  13. Time for Tyrion to break out of his ineffective funk.....and get on with a boss move or two.
  14. Trump dishonest? DOD requires gin?
  15. In Kim's and Putin's world....Pompeo is simply another useful idiot.
  16. The writers of that series, simply sit around the table, drink beer, and watch Trump. Quite a lot of this past season's episodes write themselves....
  17. NO OBSTRUCTION!!
  18. Well, I simply turn a blind eye.....when it comes to the gin, anyways..
  19. The Biggest Loser has it pegged.
  20. What's a little obstruction, in Trump world? Nothingburger.
  21. As far as shootings go.....clinical mental health is one thing.....religious nuts and bigots are quite another......
  22. Trump's campaign folks sure wern't worried about the Logan Act, back them...
  23. Legalities aside, generations of Americans have been brought up on the merits and power of individual rights and freedoms. One of these is the ability to not depend on government or any other aspect of US society to "defend themselves" You know, upright, (men) standing tall and unafraid, with steely eyes, wrapped in the flag. (NRA have piggybacked on this myth, brilliantly) Now of course, the Constitution's 2nd amendment was ratified in 1791 - when "bearing arms" was a different concept entirely: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" There are enough folks on the alt right, who haven't moved an inch intellectually, since them.....and still fantasize about forming militias to "deal with" immigrants, "big government", Jews and certain other religious groups, and various folks of race and colour. I have had opportunity to discourse with some of these people - both on-line, and from my days as a Civil War re-enactor...... who represent a perfect breeding and recruitment ground for some form of fascism.
  24. Or how a fraudulent 1 percenter, who smoked a Billion dollars in Wall Street boiler-room scams and tax loopholes, while bragging about "working the system".....is viewed as some kind of defender of American working class values..
  25. Yup, watched the NRA convention on C-span. The slightest modicum of gun control is portrayed as a big brother/government attack on personal freedom. Many legislators, the majority Republicans.... have their pockets kept full and their votes held.
