I just reread my post. I really am a freak. En dashes get me sweaty. HAA!!!

What do you do (if you don't mind my asking)?

I'll just put this link here for reference.

Thanks brother.

I'll just put this link here for reference.

I miss research too. But not the academia shennanigans. I love writing. I envy that job, Glinda. And I don't love what I do. But I'm working on an alternative and meanwhile I'm good at it and hearing from people in KY and home office in CO that I'm talked about as good at it, which is nice. And it pretty much pays the bills. ......Until thunderboy hits college next year and pologirl moves on to gradschool... and bajaboy's tuition rockets as he hits junior year :eek:

:lol: oh well.... gotta dream....

....and to get back on topic, my current dream is that this immigrant caravan is his undoing. I'm hoping it makes him so incensed he finally manages to do something so absurd no-one can turn a blind eye to it or justify it to themselves.

Dream.....

Credit where credit's due. So far as I can tell, I support Trump on this.

oh apparently it is the fault of the other countries that Americans pay more. Mmm-Hmmmmm. If they would only step up and pay their share and stop using their amazing buying power to discriminate against this poor beleaguered nation....

Nothing to do with "big business". Nothing to see here.

Yeah. He can't even do good things without lying. And I don't have super-high hopes that it will happen anyway, but there you go.

Just bullshit to reduce worry over gutting the ACA from the right wing base.

nifty

Its like a cult. Whatever he says is fine. Whoever he hurts is fine.

Be careful, he might turn you into a jack-in-the-box and wish you into the cornfield.

Okay but wait, the drug companies themselves are deciding what to charge poor countries... so if America gets the world's price, basically all this will do is give them incentive to charge poor countries more, right?

Edit: oh wait--I see the "similarly advanced economies" bit now. Hmm.

We ought to be doing what those economies are doing, which keeps their prices lower - price controls and negotiation. But medicare is banned from doing it. This would be putting the onus of negotiating our prices on them. which isn't fair to them, but if us doing it is off the table, it could help.

It is called a free market. George Jr made sure that cannot happen. As noted here so often. It is illegal to buy the same drug from the same factory in Canada or Mexico.

There were once 42 drug companies using free market forces to keep prices low and to have more drugs under development. Instead, under George Jr, we made things worse.

Funny political pictures

Sorry - missed this:P

I work in home insurance - I handle buildings claims.


Which is way more intense than it sounds :P

I get to work, and it's like a mental sprint all the way to the finish line.

I haven't read all these articles yet, but I'm already sure this topic belongs in this thread.

Trump vows to bypass the 14th Amendment to the Constitution by Executive Order, eliminating birthright citizenship.

CLOSE THE GATES! RAISE THE DRAWBRIDGE! TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!

He says being born here isn't enough, one of the parents has to have born here too. :rolleyes:

I seem to recall someone here in these forums suggesting that all you need is five people (i.e. a SCOTUS majority) to bypass the 2nd Amendment (rather than change the Constitution).

Perhaps this line of reasoning runs in very stable geniuses.

makes me wonder what may happen to Melania and Barron

I'm more concerned by the 5K armed soldiers heading towards the US/MX border, with no clear indication they will NOT shoot at Americans.

Any UK CellarDwellars need a yankee that can cook and knit and work remotely?

Oh, they can shoot at Americans: Central Americans, South Americans, even North Americans who aren't USA Americans.

It's the USA Americans they won't commit to not shooting.

I have no doubt they'll shoot at the others. And that disgusts me.

Well, they can't please all of the people all of the time; but, they try. I'm sure they'll be polite when they shoot them so that no one is disrespected.

Only asshole president in post WWII history is desperately tweeting lie after lie to rally America's lowest intelligent (most easily brainwashed) voters.

He has people in MN fearing a refugee caravan that is almost 2000 miles away. And will take months to get to Texas. Hype fear of a caravan only days away so that the most ignorant citizens will get excited, scared, and run to the polls. Its all about promoting The Don.

15 bombs were mailed because a Trump supporter was doing what he was inspired to do. Trump preached only what a brownshirt would believe. Then he blamed it on Democrats. Even implying Democrats helped that bomber.

When that did not work, he blamed the press. After all, only Fox News tells the truth. All others lie. That is what the ignorant were told. So it must be true. A classic Donald supporter.

He even preached anti-Semetic hate during his campaign. But blind supporters claim he loves the Jews. Nonsense. He only says (lies) what promotes The Don.

The Don throws shit on the walls until something sticks. And is doing it as fast as possible to inspire hate among wackos - to get them to the polls.

He will get Congress to institute a middle class tax cut before Nov 6 - forgetting that Congress will never be in session. But again, he is not preaching to anyone with intelligence. He is brainwashing metal midgets.

He blames a Pittsburg synagogue massacre on Democrats. Forgetting to mention this killer wanted to murder people who help immigrants. Since immigrants are "Killing my people." Trump invented immigrants murderers. Because and again, he got elected buy preaching hate to adults who are still children.

What is the most dangerous American? One who needs military assault weapons to protect themselves due to fear inspired by right wing extremists It is the definition of brainwashing inspired by hate. Did we not learn from Timothy McVeigh? Almost every year since, more murders is inspired by that hate - ie Miami Beach.

Hillary was operating a pedophile sex ring in from a pizza shop in Washington DC. So a 28 year old from many states away drove to and fired his assault rifle into that shop. The Don's hate and lies inspire more assault rifle solutions. Maybe even a Valentine Day massacre. Why not? Ironically, Trump supporters in the Cellar think this is acceptable.

Hate works on adults who are still children. We can expect more massacres inspired by Trump, Tea Party, Cheney loving, talk show host educated enemies. They want their beliefs to be imposed on all others. Vote for any Republican to empower that hate.

He wants to subvert the 14th Amendment - knowing full well it cannot be done. He is lying. Does not matter to children. They will believe what they are ordered to believe. They know immigrants come here to live on welfare. Also called brainwashing. Many even acknowledge these are lies. But believe him anyway - just as in 1930s Germany.

No mystery that the stock market is taking massive dives. Trump has already terminated a longest recovery in American history. We know repeatedly from history that an economic downturn typically appears in job losses maybe four or more years later. This is an Obama economy slowly poisoned by a business school graduate. Only the brainwashed would not already see symptoms consistent with a severe recession.

Late 1930 Germany also believed their economy was booming due to their Chancellor. Meanwhile the seeds of a massive economic disaster were blooming. Things he did in 1936 left how many jobs in 1945? Rebuilding took until 1970. Also due to a leader who lied constantly.

Well, if you had told everyone that you were going to vote for him, they would have all voted for Hillary just to spite you. But you didn't do that did you? Now he's President. You had your chance and you blew it. Sour grapes.

So it is good that so much hate, violence, and massacres exists; encouraged by him because we voted for him. We got what we wanted and voted for because nobody is brainwashed: your reasoning.

You got what you bargained for by being worse and so this is your life now. Your whining like a child isn't going to change that.

Wackos would not notice what is obvious. The Don thanked Pittsburgh for their warm response. Neither the Mayor nor Governor would meet this asshole president. Demonstrations against him were large including signs that read "Jew Lives Matter". Several Pittsburgh Jewish leaders published an open letter that said Trump was not welcome in their city unless he denounced white nationalism and stops "targeting" minorities. More than 82,000 additional people signed the letter. Of course, The Don could not bother to denounce hate groups. Those are his voters.

He claims he was warmly received in Pittsburgh. His tweet never once mentioned the reason - a massacre or its victims. He is always and only about promoting Trump. Everyone else is only a voter to be manipulated.

Our local wacko and violent Trump supporter cannot bother to see these realities. Apparently he also approves of the KKK, Nazis, and White Supremacists - who also advocate more solutions by using guns including assault rifles. Trump supporters will even deny Trump promotes division and hate. Because that makes him popular among extremists and their sympathizers.

Such a sore loser, can't stop whining.

Obviously a wacko extremists. Difficult is to see any difference between so much right wing inspired hate and Trump's.

Trump openly encourages attacks on immigrants. It makes him popular. When do you join the chorus? It is the nature of an extremist. Constantly belittle others. Apparently it is an ego thing. And expected from a Trump disciple.

Pity party for tw!

('cause we pity the fool)

A Trump disciple posts the only thing he understands - insults. Every so often, he posts something intelligent. Plagiarism.

You're still whining, like every loser I've ever met.

Again, more insults. Nothing useful contributed. Expected from a brainwashed extremist Trump supporter. So many posts and not one fact from an adult who is still a child.

Hitler used hate of Jews to recruit his brownshirts. Sexobon believes in hate of immigrants.

Demonstrated how easily manipulated is a child who cannot contribute anything but insults, hate, and Trump lies.

This is the America that Donald Trump needs to promote himself.

Still whining 'cause he couldn't make the intelligence cut and ended up a loser.

Babbles like child.

The post was more than one paragraph. Too long for wacko extremists who need to be told who to hate and insult.

Cries like a baby.

So Trump taught you how to post insults. Then we need not know little intelligence is required to be a Trump brownshirt.

Fact: tw backs losers.

Wow. Did you tell Einstein? You must be a genius.

The brainwashed also believe Trump fixed the economy. Because Trump said so. The educated know things that advance an economy (ie make jobs) happened four and more years ago. This is an Obama economy. Clearly. But that is not what the central committee of the communist party orders extremists to believe.

Not only have wackos posted hate of immigrants (as Hitler did for Jews). Wackos forget that we are prospering from what Obama, et al did four and more years ago. But that means one is educated by honesty. That means one posted honest facts instead of insults. Trump supporters cannot post facts. Sexobon even claims immigrants create massacres. Trump told his brownshirt to believe it.
It must be true.

An extremist is so angry about honesty as to reply in minutes. Adults are not driven by their emotions. Extremists inspired by hate are that emotional.

Hate, lies, fables, misdirection, a need for assault weapons to protect us from evil immigrants and praise of KKK, Nazis, and White Supremacists (he never denies it) - that is Sexobon. Characteristic of Donald Trump advocates. That is what this Tuesday election is about.

Tuesday is about Trump, his lies, his insults, his racism, and massacres inspired by Trump.

Sexobon will immediately post only what he understands - more insults.

Fact: I had to explain to tw the difference between a Columbian and a Colombian; 'cause, he wasn't able to distinguish between them.

He hypes hate of Colombians because so many massacres were carried out by American citizens who love Trump. Blame others is his mantra - just like Trump. More insults posted in only minutes - because he cannot deny honest facts - just like Trump.

Wackos only understand insult. Wackos do not understand that so many massacres were conducted by American citizens (not immigrants). People who advocate that Sexobon promotes (and clearly inspired by Trump).

He will reply in minutes. It is the power of hate.

^Failed the Rorschach test: tried to steal all the ink.^

The base is solid... wrong, but solid.

One fact is quite apparent from mid-term results. Trump will be reelected in 2020.

The Putrid Orange Shitgibbon (POS) can always be counted on to blame the victims . . . and get it completely wrong in the process.

Thing is, the federal government owns almost 60% of California's forests. California itself owns roughly 2% (the rest is owned by private citizens, Native American tribes, and various independent companies). And since his administration has gleefully cut funding for the BLM, the "gross mismanagement of the forests" can be placed at his fucking doorstep.

:facepalm:

Oh, and let's don't ignore the fact that he has shown exactly ZERO concern and offered ZERO condolences for those fleeing the flames, losing their homes, losing their livelihoods, losing their goddamned lives.

This stupid fuck needs to have a massive coronary right NOW. :flipbird:

He would just keep on doing those same kinds of things … only as a zombie. Then we'd have the zombie apocalypse. I bet you thought it'd take more than one, HA!

"he has shown exactly ZERO concern and offered ZERO condolences for those fleeing the flames, losing their homes, losing their livelihoods, losing their goddamned lives."

You're right. I don't give a flip 'bout those people so why should I pretend other...oh...wait...yer talkin' about Trump.

Well, carry on, I guess (cuz foot stompin' works, yeah?).

Understand why. His tweets this week demonstrate a man both emblazoned and entrenched in a crisis. He must subvert the entire Mueller investigation before Democrats take the House. His tweets expressed a defensive man desperately lashing out to protect his image, popularity, and power.

Victims were never relevant to him. He would even go to disaster sites to promote himself. Showing empathy is foreign to this very self centered person.

Notice how Trump extremists subtlety mock your concerns. It is an attitude prevalent among The Don's disciples. Just like a mafia family: it's just business.

It's all about how people present their concerns. That's why we laugh at tw and not with him.

Seven of the twenty most destructive fires in state history have burned just in the last year.
The reason is climate change and Trump says climate change is a leftist lie.

Clearly climate change was invented in a conspiracy between Jews and immigrants. The brainwashed will believe anything he says. And they vote.

"climate change was invented in a conspiracy between Jews and immigrants"
 

Yep. The Jews have their golems workin' hand-in-claw with a semi-intelligent strain of C.H.U.D. to prepare the Earth for the return of Cthulhu and His Minions.

Crom, the only entity native to our Reality with the power to stop the nefarious plan, like any individualist anarchist, doesn't give a flip.

So: hunker down, grab your buttocks, and gibber cuz Hell is Comin' to Human Town!

Is Trump doing worse than he was? The Twitter thing with Macron and whigging out at May seem like a different level.

Yes and no.

Agreed.

I'm waiting to see who disagrees.

Never forget the dangers from wacko extremists. Since Trump, hate crimes have increased ; up 17% according to the FBI. This hate has increased everywhere. Schools are now finding racist, anti-semetic, and LGB hate graffiti.

Gunman at theater often praised Hitler is just another example of what is now become weekly events. So routine that most probably never heard of this event.

More recently (even though he did not intend to do it) is this event. During intermission for "Fiddler on the Roof", a man shooted "Heil Hitler. Heil Trump." And then did a Nazi salute. Man who yelled ‘Heil Hitler’ during ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ performance apologizes ...

Hate, even by those here who approved of Nazis, KKK, and White Supremacists, is appearing in every state now that Trump used that hate to get elected.

Hehehe...
 

Politics makes strange bedfellows.

From the same mouth that says US intelligence agencies are lying. That the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia did not order the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey.

Trump knows because he find the Saudi explaination credible. Meaning he believes US intelligent agents are not credible. He again disparages the US intelligence system by using his emotions rather than thinking like an adult. It is this behavior that has psychiatrists asking if The Don is really sane (per the DSM).

From Bloomberg: Since only Fox News will not challenge obvious lies, then Trump told Chris Wallace those same Saudi Crown Prince denials. Because the Crown Prince is more honest than the CIA.

Lying is acceptable since so many Americans (ie evangelical Christians) approve it. Even Nixon did not lie like this.

But, but, he had his fingers crossed behind his back and that's almost like a self pardon.
