Seems like your optimism was warranted.

Now that Bannon's out, I have a feeling everything is gonna be all right from now on.

im not an optimist by any means-- but thanks for the great news!

now i don't think that everything is gonna be alright. i think much shit will still happen so everyone brace themselves ha ha ha

Holy SHIT! I turned the TV off because I couldn't take more details about the Barcelona massacre for now, and then this happened... (Note to self: always keep it on, that's what the mute button is for...)

:rolleyes:

Donald Trump fired Steve Bannon. But Bannon still won.

This. This is what's on a lot of people's minds. This.

TRUE STORY:

A woman in a town relatively close to where my mother lives attended a peace vigil for the people in Charlottesville the other day. Candles and sitting and silence in the dark. That's it. Prayers for the dead and the suffering, etc.

This woman's home was broken into when she was gone, and FUCKING SWASTIKAS were spray painted on her door and walls.

Seriously. This happened. Saw the photos. Swastikas. In a little rural community whose main attraction is its health food store and vintage theater.

I'm ... I don't even Fucking... I can't! I CANT! I can't Fucking do it!!! This has to be a Fucking acid trip. Someone slipped me some mescaline. Most logical explanation.

mescaline is good shit. makes you less afraid of death.

chickenshit vandalism is not a force... not yet anyway.

but you're right those people are out there, hiding.

they wiill surely cry when they get arrested

Look, as vomitous as this is, we knew it was coming. We've been saying it on this very thread for eighteen fucking months now. Trump rally after Trump rally: Confederate flags in the crowd — and currently I'm not in the mood of making irrelevant distinctions between neoconfederates, neonazis and neoklansmen. Neofuck them all.

I'm not completely jaded; the mass of putrid orange gelatine and his revolving lineup of "aides" can still shock me on a weekly basis. But what would REALLY shock me is this turd acting like a marginally decent human being for a minute. There's a saying that goes, "Every country has the president it deserves"; I certainly don't believe it applies everywhere, especially given that in 1973 Henry Kissinger replaced the president of my country with a genocidal dictator. But even taking into account Hillary Clinton's massive popular vote lead and Russia's intervention, I do think "America" brought this onto itself. The colossal willful ignorance + the ridiculously obsolete electoral structure + the pathetic weakness of those who knew better = what else should have anyone expected to happen?

Yeah, I feel stupid and naive.

With my own peepers I saw a fellow holding a "Whites for Trump" sign. In my own fucking town. Thought it was just one asshole.

Should've realized he had pals. Should've realized his pals can organize. Idiot.

But "Civil war" is a little dramatic.

America is just throwing up its bile all over its chest.

Said so well, thanks! TSN! I'll never despair for humanity as long as there's people like you. Hearts & flowers from OR!

An Old Story
By Tracy K. Smith

We were made to understand it would be
Terrible. Every small want, every niggling urge,
Every hate swollen to a kind of epic wind.

Livid, the land, and ravaged, like a rageful
Dream. The worst of us having taken over
And broken the rest utterly down.

A long age
Passed. When at last we knew how little
Would survive us—how little we had mended

Or built that was not now lost—something
Large and old awoke. And then our singing
Brought on a different manner of weather.

Then animals long believed gone crept down
From trees. We took new stock of one another.
We wept to be reminded of such color.

Antifa = morons, gonna fuck everything up even worse.
God damn them.

Now every time I try to argue with a closet Nazi-sympathizer, they can just show me clips of Antifa beating a woman "for holding an American flag" (not sure if that's the actual reason) and feel totally vincidated.

"See? Lefties are just as bad"

Thanks, Antifa. Thanks doods. Totally sticking it to the Nazis by acting like a fucking militia. Fuck you, you perennial adolescents. You fucking posers. You're fucking things up, and you're going to play a part in this getting bigger and nastier. Goddammit. Fucking children.

so, official alpacalypse starts with the eclypse today or what?

best place to wait for a incoming nuclear missile: in the wide open, near a military installation.

fuck dying of radiation poisoning! a quick death is best.

Alpacalypse? Lol.

it's like planet of teh apes but they're meaner

Thanks! — I think you meant "Flowers & Cream", though. ;):)

Ah, alpaca/alpacas are nice!

that's what they want you to think... till they have total control!

then get ready for the fire and the brimstone and the gnashing of teeth

Ladies and gentleman, our president cannot even be a role model for wearing eclipse glasses.

Bottom, have we hit you yet? No? Shit.

What a complete loser retard.

poor melania

then again, she asked for this

Uhhhhh... She kinda gold-dug for this!

I don't care if he's rich... there is nothing smart or even cunning about this man. This man may be the stupidest person ever.

Is that why all the mental oysters voted for him? Maybe he made them feel SMART.

Seriously, look at that fried-shit-and-toast-munching dipshit fucking grin! I hope he burns his retinas. I mean, he probably won't, because he's suffering-proof, but goddammit. God! Take something from him!

Trump commits more US troops to Afghanistan and calls on Britain to follow suit .

wasnt he calling to end wars in Afghanistan, Syria, critical on previous government to strike Lybia? is he taking piss?

business as usuall.

fucking hate that. words, just words and agenda goes on, no matter who is in power. there is always money for war, in the meantime more and more homeless people on the streets. what is it? 16 or 17 years in Afghanistan, millions of dollars spent? Taliban me bollocks, if they really wanted they would have them gone in one month. this must be war on our mind.

muppet puppet.

Multiple billions spent over in that area.

wait

you mean Agent Orange wasn't your savior after all?

noooooo....! can you believe it?

i can't believe it!

impossible, right? impossible!

who knew???

nobody, that's what. nobody knew this guy was a liar. not his countless bankruptcy creditors or his stiffed contractors no. not the people who read his ever-changing declarations and compared them to reality. no. nobody knew that. the media didn't know that nobody knew he was a liar!

well... you asked for this dick, now suck it i guess.

Did greenlight ask for this? I forget, but I don't think so... hmm.

Or do you just mean that "we" asked for this "dick?" As in, like, we the people of these United States? I dunno. I don't remember greenlight being a Trumper though. Could be wrong... I've been largely avoiding this thread on account of the realness and the acid-flashback like mini-PTSD episodes that this thread's title elicits.

Like, there was a time when we were collectively LOLing about the very prospect of this spray tanned goon having presidential aspirations, and it gives me stinkgut to remember how good those days felt, when he was an absolute worst case scenario, not a definite piece of any best-case scenario that might transpire (Trump being impeached still involves Trump, y'know?).

Anyway. It's pretty funny that Trump was bitching about Afghanistan and the waste of money and resources that our presence there represented, and ding-dong Repubicans rallied around him and called HRC and Obama warmongers. Now he's saying, "Nah, never mind."

Yes I was going to say, "millions" is an obscene understatement.

yes, greenlight, used to be all no crooked hillary soros soros soros, though he lives in a different cuntry, but he kept repeating all the russian propaganda bullshit soros hillary clinton news network, mainstream media conspiracy

thanks!

when atomic bomb detritus rains upon his head because agent orange has no impulse control-- let him suck on it hard

Afghanistan:

Wild Boys Smile

What? I've just heard on the radio that Trump's spent all the budget allowed for his and his family's security.
And there's 3 more months to go...
They all travel a lot, either to play golf or to keep their own business afloat...

It's so hard to keep track of what's going wrong in the US.
Even with tiny things like that, he fucks up...

that is bollocks.

yes, I was all no crooked hillary. and I loathe her, but i was not in favour of donald either and kept saying that this choice is no choice from beginning.


and russian propaganda? wtf.? the whole election was about "we burnt a toast it must be russians". c'mon.
do not want to start with syria conflict again. we have talked about it a lot before. i have my opinions on that conflict and on ukraine as well. call me pro russian, but i am not and I've said it.

I call bullshit - you're making it up. I did a quick google for "WOMAN'S HOUSE SPRAYPAINTED WITH SWASTIKAS" and there are pages of hits but nothing in the past week. Where is the police report for this event?

I did see dozens of incidents like this over the past years. It really isn't that significant. I saw several links where the "victims" actually did the spray painting themselves for attention!

Meanwhile, most of you are all being involuntarily mass medicated with deadly flouride...hell even Israel has stopped adding flouride to its water...but the "resistance" (that is Orwellian language) has nothing to say about that. They poison us evenly rich and poor and all colors.

bla bla bla crap and nonsense

Yeah and Vice President Kevin Spacey pushed Kate Mara in front of a subway train.

I just think it's important to look at both sides.

The second part is something Drumpf would never say because he doesn't give a FLYING FUCK.
