Random Politics & Religion #32

I would think that you would have sympathy for pariahs.

Tfw I nearly fumble my phone and accidentally nuke the thread...

There are worse things that could happen.

There are also better. I could've left this rubbish in the Trash Can...

... that's really what the deleted archive section is called.

Going to be an interesting day tomorrow.

Yeah with the 2nd affair coming out, China hitting back with their own tariffs, the stock market plunging, an Iraq War architect working in the WH, and a GOP shutdown, thank god its Friday, right?

There’s also a DoJ announcement tomorrow regarding “the cyber”

Tell me, Chicken Little. Is the sky actually going to fall this time?

Really? They ask for proof of age?

Because no underage kids would lie about their age to get in there.

There was this REALLY old mac game, morminoids of the deep, although I can't find a reference to it on the web, that had an effective age filter. It asked questions about political stuff from the viet-nam era.

I had a friend who's kids used to pester him with the questions from the age filter. Of course he answered them, said it was helping them learn history.

If I was American, I would be out on the street supporting Trump.
Sure, him and his followers don't seem to like people of my race and religion. And I highly doubt that I would be able to convince most of them that people like me are not their enemies. BUT, that doesn't mean I can't see how the man has nothing but his nation's best interest at heart.
His actions are speaking louder than any suave and well articulated Obama speech.

And I liked Obama.

But Obama followed Bush and the neo-cons, who are/were the reason we are all in such a mess, around the world. All Obama had to do was not be that HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE and he would look good. But then he did the Iran nuclear deal. Facepalm

Trump is no neo-con. He's not even a politician. He's just a normal dude. Well a very rich one depending on how you qualify rich.

It is very strange, but the fact is that Trump is 100% authentic.. an unapologetic remnant of simple, straight talking times.

There is no self-righteousness to him. I used to think he was narcissistic. Now I believe it his conscious strategy. He says things that might sound obnoxious like "biggest, best, perfect" etc but I think he's just communicating his vision and ambition..not making blank political promises to get re-elected. And there is the difference. He has taken action time and again to deliver on many of the things he promises on. No excuses, no scapegoating (unless someone/group really does stand in his way) - he just GETS ***DONE.

If I was an american, I wouldn't give a ***about him banging a porn star or playboy bunny, or toilet/changing room talk about grabbing pussies. Heck, in some odd way it makes him more likeable, because it shows his flaws aren't any worse than the average man's. Which one of you wouldn't *** a porn star or playboy bunny if you had the chance? Even if you say you wouldn't, you would consider it. And you would never know for certain unless the proposition was made to you.

I'll take Trump's sexual adventures over the Clinton's any day. And there's much worse ***in D.C. than some middle to senior aged billionare boinking some bimbo.

Kudos to Trump for putting his country first. Now if he can just find a way to do it without setting the world on fire, that would be great.

Oh and the above does not mean I in anyway do not think that his presidency is chaotic. It is. But that's a good thing. At this point I'm just like "he fired who? well he's the president. *** it. It might not make any sense now, but there's some kind of genius to this madman. I am ok with it"

Thanks CJ, it was a great game.

Blazed, Trump has nothing save his own self image at heart. He is destroying America's immage and position as a world leader. Inside the country he is a force for division and moral rot.

As far as who he used to boink, I care not. BUT he is an entertainer, he is in the biggest, most visible role of his life, and I am entertained. The bimbo shitshow is wonderfully entertaining.

I agree he is not a politician, but he is not a normal dude either. Were you an American, whether for or against him, you would see that.

P. S. He hasn't gotten squat accomplished save buying "campaign contributions" with a tax cut.

Putting China on notice takes balls. Dropping out of agreements that harmed America's interest also not something most U.S Presidents were willing to do because it would effect their international image - Trump has made it clear he's not here to win friends, just do what needs to be done.

And some division in the U.S was needed. The ultra liberal left is the loud minority and they've been taking up way too much of the public conversation for the past decade. Any disagreement with them has been brushed off as stupidity.

Moral and social decay? There are a lot of societal symptoms that do not spell a good future thanks to the left.
Men dropping out of society. Men are now a minority in colleges.
Marriage rates are on a steep decline.single mother children are much more likely to become criminals, misfits, societal burdens.
Gender *** confusion. The left is all "science or nothing" until biology, woops.

For every severe crazy action is there is an equally crazy and severe reaction. Trump is the crazy right reaction to decades worth of *** liberalism out of control. Moral decay indeed.

I left the U.S in the late 90's, when the left was more reasonable. Thank God. I wasn't there to devolve along with everyone else. That is why I strangely find myself siding with the right on these issues.

The gender debate makes the U.S look like it has gone full-retard mode. You don't ever go full retard.

You're the one having a daily aneurism due to Trump. Shut up and go try it yourself.

I grew into the American left in the early 1960s.

In '59 I was a volunteer for Nixon. In '61 I was on a freedom ride and marched against the bomb.

If you think the far reaches of any political movement were ever reasonable.... Not that the far left of the '90s was anything like the far left of the '60s. I mean the far left of the '60s used guns and bombs, by the '90s that was the provenance of the far right.

So by that measure perhaps the left of '90's was more reasonable....

And yet the only person in here who is universally viewed by both sides as being a complete nutjob is you.

I dunno why Blazed is listed here, he seems to have more sense then that.

Nausi and Fone probably don't believe half of what they write, they just troll. Difference is Nausi cares somewhat about politics and Fone doesn't....at all.

Rav and Saev would likely be skeptical at the very least.

Altima would 5000% believe it and base (non-trolling) arguments off of it.

Lordgrim would write a protest song about it and talk about how he'd succeed in locking her up and call Trump a too moderate failure or something. I picture him doing this as he eats crayons and drinks glue.

I dunno how you've been here this long and not started to look at just about everything that happens here as trollish ***.
