I have a strange feeling that McCabe will get his revenge.

but here’s the thing: trump will go on endlessly because he’s the last antichrist and therefore invincible by earth powers

his tentacles are deep in tesla’s brain, sucking. or maybe he’s getting sucked by tesla. 69.

Trump isn't a politician so he doesn't know or have experience in keeping his cool under such microscopic and hyper criticism.

GOP is literally destroying themselves like the democrats did in the 1960s with Segregationists.. it will be fun to see them collapsed under the weight of their own bigotry and stupidity ;)



I'm sick. SICK I tell you. Why am I looking at the early parts of this thread? What am I getting from this exercise? I'm still trying to come to terms with how in the fuck Trump became POTUS. How did we go from there to here? Everyday I turn on the news and just fucking groan.

God help me.

Pro tip for a longer life in 2018, stop turning on the news.

ilduclo 03.18.2018 08:56 AM

The ostrich with his head in the sand isn't well aware of the lion sneaking up on him....

Turn on the news, keep working for change. (it works!)

skuj: this was the closest early prediction of them all.

this one was just sheer blindness at that point

See....isn't this fun?

(I was "rather tired" on my previous post.)

tw2113 03.18.2018 12:08 PM

I'm not saying ignore it completely, just don't subscribe to the constant, steady stream. Read in digests in short bursts. You'll be a lot less depressed throughout the day.

Skuj 03.18.2018 12:38 PM

Yeah, I really don't do news for hours per day, but what I see is horrifying. But I have to take that ex-CIA guy's words as solace: "America will triumph over Trump".

You mean John Brennan, the the CIA Director who oversaw the CIA hacking of the Senate's computers and was reading senator's emails?

Who in 2008 couldn't be CIA Director because of his involvement with torture under Bush, but he was sanitized under Obama.

If you own a cell phone, you are participating and have no right to complain.

3 things:

1. I know you are a Trumpist. (I swear I'm not saying that condescendingly.)

2. I'm seriously going to look up the points that you have made, to see if they stand up to scrutiny. (Forgive me, but we are in the post-truth era.)

3. I've never owned a cell phone. (I know, right?)

I'm really not a "Trumpist", but it seems that if you don't agree with the "resistance", that is how you get labelled, because that mindset seems to be incapable of thinking beyond 1-2, on off, red blue. And this board has a problem with Russian agents, like the nameless one.

It is difficult to always express this through the internet, but just because I bring up an idea or piece of information doesn't mean I endorse it or support it necessarily - I am capable of thinking about an abstract idea without it consuming me. That seems to make you guilty in the eyes of the "resistance".

The whole fake news thing is a joke, the people screaming FAKE NEWS won't even acknowledge someone like Noam Chomsky or Alfred MCCoy-its not like the CIA stopped coordinating the media suddenly! the people screaming FAKE NEWS in many cases are those who have produced most of it, like the New York Times!

The "resistance" is screaming "fascist" but they use and pay for all the tools of the fascists and endorse the cashless, totalitarian society. They are fucking pod people. Their obsession with Amazon is destroying the country. Nevermind Amazon's preferential treatment and classified business from the Feds, which would be called fascism under any definition.

But what is really going on? In NY State, "liberal" Andrew Cuomo has put into a place a surveillance system so you are constantly being tracked moving around NY State. He wants to put a tracking system on the streets of Manhattan to toll us for going up and down our own city streets.

Skuj 03.22.2018 07:11 PM

There's a lot to digest there. I need time. :)

Meanwhile, Dowd....McMaster......just another day in Trumpworld.

Remember that Flynn tweet that Dowd took credit for in an attempt to plug the leaky dam? He is either a) a fucking liar (which I believe) or b) completely incompetent for constructing such a tweet. Either way, it's bad.

Its amazing how sensitive Trump lovers are to abuse, the people who complain about "political correctness", they bleat and moan about being called names.

!@#$%! 03.22.2018 11:34 PM

mcmaster out, bolton in

only a week after huckabeast denied lol

we’re slouching towards armageddon
