Well I mean, he would.

Gambling losses help write off a good chunk of tax owed.

Lord Acton apparently forgot to mention that hypothetical power absolutely corrupts hypothetically.

Shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue. At least 8 dead. Assailant said "all these Jews need to die".

Hopefully we can keep things respectful ITT.

This is the Republican agenda. Trump is doing an incredible job delivering for his people and keeping them motivated.

He did not favor Donald Trump, endorsing posts suggesting that the president was controlled by Jews and writing that he "is a globalist, not a nationalist. There is no #MAGA as long as there is a **** infestation." He also wrote, with apparent sarcasm, that he was "glad the overwhelming jew [sic] problem has been solved so we can now fight with each other."

So yeah this isn't the time for but but but trump

The shooter is just another alt-right nationalist fighting the pro-immigration globalists. He believes Trump is a fake for not acknowledging that the globalist side is controlled by Jews. Regardless, Trump's rise has been a boon for white nationalism in the US and it's showing up in crime statistics.

It is always neat seeing Anderson Cooper on CBS' 60 Minutes. When they do the intros I am half expecting Cooper to say, "and I am Anderson Cooper, and CNN let's me do this for CBS because I told CNN I'd quit if they didn't..... "

My school had a moment of silence for the Pittsburgh victims, and the pledge of allegiance was recited for the first time all year. Not sure if the latter is related to the former, probably not. We finally have an acting principal who im assuming wants the pledge

Yup. Expect a Brazillian caravan in the next few months. That dude is a ****ing psychopath and may have just created a facist dynasty in Brazil.

I blame the IOC

I watched Starship Troopers two nights ago. What a brilliant movie. "Service guarantees citizenship!"

I'd say that's blatantly unconstitutional, but I guess that would depend on Roberts.

It’s lucky that there are so many strict textualusts who don’t try to judge the broader intent of the Constitution on the Supreme Court. They would never in a million years uphold such an EO, right?
