Browsing McMaster for a minute he seems like he might be something of a reality check for Pence after we drive that orange buffoon out of office.

How strongly do you agree or disagree that:

People rarely live longer than 100 solar orbits.

People bear live offspring and suckle their young.

People are mindful of, and prepared for, the threat of extraterrestrial invasion.

Can you unpack this? Do you think he will oppose a President Pence in some way?

yeah, having this guy instead of flynn seems like a monumental upgrade and probably reduces the chance of disaster significantly. flynn was horrifying.

Well, it wasn't really all that serious. I have no idea really what Pence's foreign policy ambitions would be other than standard GOP look out for the oil companies and defense contractors. But, what little I read about McMasters was that he's a PhD who wrote books about how the military should have told the civilian leadership that Vietnam was FUBAR and that he encouraged a kind of community occupation (like community policing) in Iraq with some degree of cultural awareness. I'm extrapolating based on that that he wasn't nicknamed 'Mad Dog' or anything like that.

It's important imo not to be too thrilled about semi-reasonable Trump appointments. They still work for him. Rommel may have been a genius, and may have even been in on an assassination plot, but he still carried out Hitler's policy.
02-20-2017 , 08:04 PM
Hey give Mad Dog a break. He told the Iraqis today that we wouldn't steal their oil. That's progress for this administration.

Nope. Chez deleted the more disgusting posts and then threatened anyone who brought them up.

This administration doesn't have a foreign policy.

Trump says one thing, Pence says another.

Spicer says one thing, Mattis says another.

And so on an so forth. They have no idea what the **** they're doing. Other than "Muslim ban" and "lift Russian sanctions." It's a ****ing farce.

I feel like we need to hire Leah Remini to shine a spotlight on the disappearance of Kellyanne Conway.

It's not enough to do what the don wants you to do, you have to do it the way he wants too.

Thoughts of the day:

McMaster is a good pick. I even read the DailyKos posts on him. Even they think this is a good pick.

LOL Milo. Come on. Pedophilia. Bridge too far. Pedophilia took down Joe ****in' Paterno. Literally the cult hero of Pennsylvania State football. The board fired him within the week. Pedophilia will take down even the greatest alt-right troll. He lost his book and BreitBart is gonna fire him by Friday. L O L. Bridge too far for BreitBart.

Dhez is like a lawyer trying to control his deplorable clients.

Pence will focus on saving fetuses and praying the gay away.

Here's what I wrote about Milo in unchained:

He's gone too far this time. His hateful speech is usually aimed at undocumented people, transgender people, and other easy targets for the right. But with this last debacle, white kids are the ones that are vulnerable and open to abuse. This is where it hits too close to home with a lot of his fan base and you can already see that with his book deal being canceled. The sad thing is that they didn't care about any of the other groups he was attacking before this.

I mean, there will absolutely be another Milo to come along and take up the mantle of "hateful intellectual jester of the right." And he'll probably make a lot of money and attract a lot of protests, but it's not something the left should really be afraid of long-term. These clowns represent the intellectual rot at the center of the conservative moment in US politics right now. They aren't going to make people think, they aren't going to shake up the status quo--they are going to make money off of some whiney, privileged conservatives and then they're gonna make more money, because people like Milo aren't in it to change the world. They're in it to make some cheddar and take advantage of a movement that is intellectually empty and bankrupt--and that isn't hard to do.

This is a good post for the worst deplorables on 2p2 to learn from.

Even Awval understands when it is time to raise your hands and walk away from AIDS on your side of the fence.

So basically pedophilia is the nut low for the Trumpkins. They can do/say whatever the **** they want as long as it's not worse than pedophilia. Sexual Assault? Grab 'em by the pussy? No biggie. Media is the enemy of the American people? Who cares. Nothing wrong with a grown man wanting to **** a 13 year old. SIR! HOW DARE YOU! WE HAVE STANDARDS!
02-20-2017 , 09:59 PM
You got that slightly wrong. There are some Trumpkins like wil and kypreanus on 2p2 who turn a blind eye to pedophilia and defend Milo to the end.
02-20-2017 , 10:00 PM
McMaster is a lot better than flynn and some of the other lol names like bolton/betrayus.
He still will do what the pres tells him to do. It'll just be done in a less stupid manner and maybe we won't blow up Iran for awhile though in trump world; there will not be a warning when he chooses to blow stuff up.

Are we even sure pedophilia is the line? I mean, Trump palled around with Epstein, hung out in the Miss Teen USA dressing room and talked about several underage girls on the Stern show (a young Paris Hilton, etc.)

So isn't it really the combo of young + boys?

Not to mention it's a virtual lock he molested Ivanka with the way he talks about her.
