Perhaps you should've thought of that before taking it from them *******s.
Good for Ukraine but this probably just spirals the planet more.

He did say that he "isn't a Trump supporter, I just liked him more than the other candidates".

My co-worker basically said he's only concerned about things that personally affect him and Trump hasn't done anything yet that has really mattered.

I can't help but shake my head and wonder what needs to happen before Trump voters realize what they have done.

Yeah, it's that answer for when people ask, "LOL R U saying the black people that voted for trump are ALSO RACIST?!?"

You don't even have to get into the tall of grass 'self-hating ____s' when the simple answer is they're just selfish and myopic a*****es. It's soft racism to say an individual black dude CAN'T be a selfish a*****e.

Real talk: Does the weed make you dumb, when you're actually high that is?

This is not meant to be insulting in any way, trust me. I have a friend, who is a patent attorney and all-around sharp guy, that literally loses about 50 IQ points when he's high. It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, only the other persona isn't evil, rather just can't do basic math.

That's a true story btw. We went to a show at a club and the cover was $17, and my friend had trouble adding up small bills to make the full amount. So he found a $20, and then disputed whether $3 was the correct change. The bouncer actually asked me, "WTF is wrong with your friend?" To which I replied, "Dat weed makes him dumb. Like, the dude is a ****ing patent attorney, he has an engineering degree and a law degree. Marijuana just does that to certain people."

So, if so, I get it.

I think someone in this thread said it already, but I will repeat it. This is the dumbest thing I've ever read. That includes tweets by the Putin cock-holster, many Bush-isms, and countless drivel blurted by the likes of Jeff Sessions, Paul Ryan, Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer, Mitch McConnell, Carter Page, my god the list just goes on. That feat is herculean.

Leveling the playing field by basically raping the poor and the old. GTFO.

If this calamity of a bill isn't ripped to shreds by Bernie, Warren, Franken, the CBO, and any Dem currently in or soon to be in the heat of an election (that is you Ossoff), I am going to lose it. I can't take these arrogant cucks any more.

Every single Dem should eventually be running ads detailing what the CBO is undoubtedly going to say about this thing.

And this ****ing Russia investigation is just stalling. Just give us the GD full truth, whatever it is. I better log off for the night before I pop a vein. Someone calm me down...

"How am I doing? Hey. I'm President. Can you believe it?" - Trump, also today.

Obamacare allowed for children to stay on their parents insurance until 26. How does that screw them over exactly?

How can they possibly spin the **** about women in this bill? They basically made being a woman a pre existing condition. What the mother ****?
05-05-2017 , 07:40 AM
It's obvious by now that Trump is petty and vindictive enough to break up the health, personal finances, social status, families, even lives of the MAJORITY of Americans just to take revenge against ONE person.

It's also obvious by now that Trump desperately wants the richest, most powerful human rights violators to respect him and everyone else to fear him.

What's not obvious is the best way to get this lunatic out of the government before he does irreparable damage to - - basically everything.

They get to vote on abortion rights too. And religion. And immigration. And the Internets. And...

The diversity is stunning, isn't it? Non rich-white-Christian-males are all ****ed.

It's very difficult to think of a law since Jim Crow which is specifically designed to hurt more people.

These guys are like cartoon villains.

April report just came out.

Unemployment rate 4.4% (lowest in 10 years)
211k jobs added (above average I think)

I'm ready for the bragging to begin shortly.

The only real positive is that wages rose slightly.

"Wages grew seven cents an hour to an annualized pace of 2.5 percent."


The number of people not working rose a bit.

"An alternative reading on the unemployment rate that includes those not actively looking for jobs as well as those working part-time for economic reasons dropped to 8.6 percent from 8.9 percent in March, the best reading since November 2007. Those counted as not in the labor force swelled to 94.4 million but was countered by an increase of 156,000 counted as employed, according to the household survey."

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/05/nonfa...pril-2017.html

So there is positive and negative in the report.

The ABSOLUTE WORST part? The President of the United States has a grudge against 60% of Americans and he's trying to **** them as much as he can get away with. THAT IS ****ING TERRIFYING!

They keep on winning?

The have failed nearly 100% of the time. They are grossly incompetent. All signs point to them losing the healthcare battle as well.

Let's not pretend these morons are geniuses all of sudden.

The GOP has the presidency, Senate, House, Supreme Court.

At the state level, 25/50 states have GOP governor + both houses of legislature.

Yes, they keep winning.

Oh I'm sure it will.

Remember, unemployment reports are FAKE NEWS, until they're not, and now they are the word of God.

But anyway, this is good news for our country. I'm sorry so many of you want our country to burn.

Perhaps the only thing I want more than Trumps death is for you to suffer serious and irreversible financal harm as a result of trump. You going completely broke would brighten my day immeasurably.

Awval doesn't understand that he has to wait for someone to say something negative about those numbers before he starts his fake patriotism crap. Failed trolling attempt is failed.
