I think you got me banned once for making some obvious joke about bombing something.

dont think so in the way you mean, and I don't ban or get people banned bro.

lol it was specifically for 'celebrating assassination'

Why don't you link the offending post.

If Jeb! is going to claim "My brother kept us safe" you can't expect us to just play along and pretend he did just to protect the Bushes' tender feelings.


GWB did not "keep us safe" by any reasonable measure, and anyone claiming he did is full of crap.

Plenty of people were convinced that we were going to be attacked again after 9/11 and we were not. I assume you think nobody tried and to this day Obama is droning people for fun.

because it's deleted. I could quote it because I got an infraction too (lol), but that probably gets another ban. How I described it was 100% correct. Can't say the death of someone 80 years ago resulted in good for america.

I can't find the post. But basically I think some yahoos threw some kind of improvised bomb at one of the occupy camps - which turned out to be like a giant firecracker. I made a joke that bahba or mike clark or one of those frothy guys did it. You flipped out and made a gigantic deal out of it.

And then I got this:



My second to last banning!

Ok. I just meant WWII, especially in Europe, wasn't much Roosevelt's fault as before the war we were one of the players at best, not the world leader.

But, as far as GWB goes, the point still stands that he made us less safe if you include our military as part of us. You can't necessarily say the same of FDR because we could have easily been a hell of a lot less safe if Germany and Japan weren't defeated.

Forget 9/11. GWB made us less safe by invading Iraq and destabilizing the whole damn region - instead of focusing all our efforts on Afghanistan. Saddam Hussein wasn't going to threaten the US in any way. That was 100% on him.

oh so you made an obvious personal attack, but it was a joke at the expense of someone you don't like, so you thought it was ok? Alrighty then suzzer.

I know what you meant. It's just not relevant. We didn't have to get involved. We did.
lol wut? I'm not trying to make a serious argument that FDR made us less safe, just making fun of a set of moronic logic about how bush failed to stop 9/11.

Barbara Boxer Blasts Carly Fiorina

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/0...na-2016-213842

It's clear to see that there's no love lost between these two women.

ikes, would you estimate that you are/aren't one of the top post reporters in this forum outside of the Israel/Palestine thread?

(in b4 "reporting posts isn't getting people banned")

Whining about a richly-deserved ban in multiple forums? Def not mad, no siree.

Take it up with ATF. Or just perma him already.

I believe she puts the CEO ahead of the shareholder. She supported Dell taking his company private, yet Icahn basically said Dell stole several $ billion (youtube/google Icahn Dell). When she was at HP, she supported all these visas yet today she is against illegal immigration. She comes from the era where CEOS are suppose to make all the money, the employees get the big salaries, and the shareholders get to break even to inflation - a silicon valley bum ceo. I have looked at stats from 1988 to 2014 at HPQ, but I need to look at them again. Her actions might have increase profits 75% but I need to double check and it is less than HP past. HP present is pure value. Firing employees is a good sign, you only get fired if you do not add to the bottom line. If your division is the palm pilot or a mainframe your division might be obsolete. If people want to give HP employees jobs go out and buy palm pilots.

Seems her goal is not to make the country great again, but to get a new CEO job. Trump actually loses on his immigration plans. The more immigrants the higher rent at his apartments. He wants a nation of laws. His goal is to make the best country or world possible, not to get a job.

From minute 11:20. Wrong link above. Fiorina supports Dell regarding private deal.

This Is The Ad That Could Sink Carly Fiorina's Campaign

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/t...inas-campaign/

This is further evidence as to why I think the Republicans could wind up with no clear nominee going into their convention with their nominee being chosen via a fractious brokered convention. Like Herman Cain four years ago, Carly is the flavor of the moment, but the Super PACs have yet to begin firing the big artillery in the form of negative TV ads.

Ted Cruz is gambling on the March 1st "Super Tuesday" primaries in which he seems to believe he will win several deep South states - including my state of Alabama. Cruz recently appeared with my Congressman, Mo Brooks, during a campaign swing through Alabama. In a moment of true political courage, (Ha! Ha!), when asked by a reporter if he was prepared to endorse Ted Cruz, Mo quietly demurred. (With Cruz literally standing right next to him, the picture was in the newspaper, Mo declared that it was "too early" to formally endorse any Republican candidate "at this time ...")

So let's suppose Trump wins one or two of the early primary states while Ted Cruz manages to reap a harvest of delegates on Super Tuesday - and Carly Fiorina manages to win somewhere. Add in the mix Ben Carson winning the Maryland primary, (or whatever state he's from), Rand Paul winning in his own state of Kentucky, Scott Walker [possibly] winning in Wisconsin and Governor John Kasich winning the primary in his state of Ohio. (Who knows, even Chris Christie might manage to win a state - somewhere ...)

You start to see the picture ... The Republicans could be on their way to a brokered convention. Of course, for a "librul" like me, this will be popcorn time indeed.

Hilarious that you think these things are even remotely comparable.

You should have pointed out that John Hinckley's lack of marksmanship was bad for America.

lou seems a bit unhinged recently, tbh

nailed it

Question: What does this post and the Titanic both have in common?
Answer: The number 1912.

uhhh its been pretty obvious since all the attention that was given to her after the first debate, that she was likely being vetted for VP

she literally didnt say or do anything other than "look at me i didnt take any money from trump" (right, cuz you're a loser and got smoked by barbara boxer in your only run for elected office, TRUMP doesn't back losers), and the media was fawning all over how well she did
