The Trump Presidency

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

It's an extension of First world problems.

We used to laugh at our parents when they'd scold us about not finishing dinner because kids were starving in Africa.
Who's laughing now.

I didn't consider that anyone on this forum took the saudi arabia comment seriosuly. Its so not on the table its just bullshit.

Was your response to Doc's joke serious? I can't tell what's real anymore.

Yeah, the Saudi Arabia line was silly, but he's not the first to make it.

Actually, it does. But hardcore moral conservatives are almost always hypocrites.

"you're all going to hell for not believing in christ"
"Help the meak. Love your neighbor."
"Not with my tax dollars."

Is it unreasonable to you that some people feel the government is bad at "helping the meek" and they would rather do it in their own way?

Not to say that there isn't hypocrisy. Donating to your church is basically propping up your own social circle. Nevertheless, writing a bigger check to D.C. because Uncle Sam tells me I have to is not an act of kindness. It's just as likely being used to drop bombs on some shithole.

Or going into Sammy G's pocket.

Their own way rarely comes. Because they work and have kids and like to buy things.

Unless you count the church bake sale to help fund a team of kids to go preach the word in BumbFuckastan

Even if it doesn't, the fact that she feels it would help her get elected says a lot.

Man. I've been listening to that Listen, Liberal book you were recommending for a while. It's one of those rare books whose hypothesis was proven after publication, but it's more relevant and urgent seemingly every day after it did its job.

That's going to continue as long as the Democrats refuse to learn from getting bopped at all elective levels since 2010 with the exception of Obama being re-elected. I am honestly surprised they just keep attributing November to WALLP I GUESS A BUNCH OF RACISTS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE THAT DAY HA HA!

[Doc Holliday]

I can't believe the Dems so quickly squandered the Political capital Bush left them, then had the balls to run a pro-Bush policy war hawk while a god damn Bush basher won the fucking GOP nomination. Go tell that to 2006 you.

[A Robot Bit Me]

I can believe that.

I can believe they didn't change course after 2010.

And after 2014.

What I can't believe is that they haven't changed course after 2016.

[A Robot Bit Me]

So uh.

[A Robot Bit Me]

So um.
