I ended up blocking him. LOL.

I once got into an argument with a famous person on Twitter. As soon as I sent my third reply I realized how dumb I was for wasting my time. True story.

People aren't going to change their views because you use logic with them. I'm a complete life failure and even I think my time is better spent elsewhere. Even this ******ed post is a better use of my time than arguing with someone on Twitter or any form of social media.

He is notorious for lying about everything else, why do we believe him about his sexual history without any evidence? He regularly makes up salacious stories.

Is there a site out there that tracks the amount of coverage of events by different news stations?

Btw if Trump says "very much" about something again I'm gonna lose it.

I have no hard evidence for this, but I feel like the ratio of "actual gang members using hand signs to display their gang affiliation" to "suburban teenagers throwing out hand signs they saw on MTV to look cool" has to be in the neighborhood of 1:100,000.

Also, it's curious how whitetrash supremacist culture has appropriated stuff from black gangster culture. The prison tats, hand signs, etc.

pretty significant difference there... we know many well educated have turned into suicide bombers... this is cult like behavior as opposed to "they be crazy".

Report: Deport to Mexico Immigrants Crossing Border Illegally, Regardless of Nationality

Trump really hates mexico. Did he drink the water down there once or something?

I'm also under the presumption mexico isn't just gonna let that happen for non mexicans but what do I know.

Miller went on fox news saying it's basically the same wrt travel ban.

I'm sure that in no way got noticed by lawyers.

Miller certainly bears an unsettling resemblance to that evil kid from Toy Story, if nothing else.

That's trump and his voters mentality. For them this is revenge. They hated values being pushed on them rather than the opposite, so we're just gonna have a giant conflict and WAAF.

Elections have consequences, who knew.

We've been there since at least 2014, but probably never left. Multiple Americans were killed last year in Iraq, there's no clear mission.
