A decent general story is a decent story. It isn't exactly deep analysis.

Just spent a few mins looking at the two websites - it's all I can do not to vomit over my screen. Just the worst people. Just the worst religious freaking nutjob people.

Irish is the good kind of immigration

"Irish Heritage" is rapidly moving up the dogwhistle charts to take its place with "Andrew Jackson" and "Chicago".

Ike Perlmutter, the guy Trump mentions as an attendee of the important VA meeting, is a scummy dude known for draconian policies as head of Marvel, a real life Ebeneezer Scrooge. I'm sure he's just the right guy to make sure our veterans are treated with care.

The threat of war helps getting a budget raise for the military and if you have a big military and a need to win a election it helps to have well hated enemy you can start a war against.

Lets not pretend as if the USA going to war is a rare thing and don't let us fool ourselves by thinking a nationalistic authoritarian government doesn't increase the chance of a war.

Well at least he really gave it a lot of effort before throwing in the towel

Heritage Foundation has been a/the leading GOP think tank for like 20 years or more

They're behind voter suppression and just every vile bigoted thing going in USA

Things can always get drastically worse.

“People are going to die. Someone will say ‘Oh that’s extremist,’ but how can you take this much money away from this group of people and not think people will die?” NEADA’s Wolfe said. “If you take away assistance from very poor families, some of them will have their heat shut off. Some will turn their heat down to unsafe levels. And some of them will die.”

Trump refused to shake Merkels hand at the photo op. She just have him shook. Or he hates women and doesn't believe they should be in charge of a country.

I think I read that Trump is a germanophobe.

omg what on earth just happened in that video? jesus ****ing christ

I don't see any compelling reason why the Leader of the Free World should lower herself and shake the hand of an incompetent fascist like Trump.

Sorry but you are actually quite wrong about this. If they have actual ICBMs then nobody is shooting those suckers down.

I disagree with your take on this 100%. We do have a responsibility to the workday. The ones who don't agree with that are Steve Bannon disciples.

As for pissing off Russia lol who cares let's piss them off every chance we can. Right now they are in violation of a nuclear arms treaty.

Honestly if I wasn't more familiar with your posts I would think you were a pre election trump propagandist focused on nationalism at the cost of the world and being worried about upsetting Russia. Those were two standard planks of trump supporters during the election.

There is nothing that will bring an end to the US holding any significance faster than just shutting our eyes and putting on our xenophobic cloak AND ignoring the biggest threat to relative global peace and tranquility in Russia.

(He is a germaphobe, though)

EDIT: before he sends the damn Secret Service investigating my ass for spreading fake news, the clinical term is mysophobia.

Me too lol

It is important to remember that there is literally no coherent liberal/leftist philosophy in which America has no responsibility to the outside world. None. If you reject the notion that where you are born has some normative bearing on the life you should lead, you cannot wash your hands of the belief that people everywhere deserve some baseline living standards.

There is a good case to be made that our intervention so consistently fails that we should abstain, but that's not a moral case. This is why the Bannon isolationists are wrong about the world at a fundamental level: the categories they place human beings into are arbitrary and fictional.

Curious how this joint presser is going to go.

I want clarification on this because I believe states have some say in they can enact stricter regulations so California alone could essentually keep any changes from happening nationally. California sells so many cars that it simply would nit be effective to build to two different standards and also deal with illegal cars crossing state lines. California has been able to push a lot of environmental issues because of this and in manufacturing standards like cars can counteract federal regulation restrictions.

This doesn't work for everything but cars are certainly one where California basically calls the shots.

lol

Can't pull the hand jerk power move very well from a seated position.

Did you keep it? Let's make a deal !
