    Hopefully we can avoid that. We can't afford it.

    I didn't say Iran wasn't going to cut off their nose to spite their face as well. But they are getting to a point where they might be fucked either way, so it might be time to force Trump to make the first move. I can't imagine a majority of Americans supporting a war with Iran even if they do take out a carrier. Just think back to 2007 and 2008. Thousands of American soldiers were getting killed in Iraq, our response wasn't "let's get those bastards" it was was "why the fuck are we there"?

    Another theory, the Iranians know damn well that the US attacking them is terrible politically for Trump. And they know that Trump cares only about being liked and being re-elected, nothing else matters to him. So their backs are against the wall and now they are going to put Trump in a position to cut off his nose to spite his face.

    BDT Capital out of Chicago. Majority share. Can't wait to find out the financial details.

    Hearing some chirps that a deal might have been done today. As a Corpus Christi kid, if this fucks up the brand, I will never forgive the perpetrators. They will be my new Yolanda Saldivar.

    This has all the sloppiness of the Saudis. If they get caught, they know Trump will just say "we are looking into it" in perpetuity.

    Zero reasons. Iran does not want war. Gulf States desperately want us to go to war with Iran. This is what they call a false flag. I'll at least enjoy a bump in WTI if the warmongers get their way.

    Exactly. If it was verified, then they wouldn't be asking for a warrant they would be typing up an indictment. Also, Page was being watched long before the Steele dossier ever surfaced.

    To be fair, all of that probably makes her over-qualified to be the governor of Arkansas.

    "Jesus wrote me a letter OK. Here it is. Out of respect for him I'm not going to show it to you yet, but maybe at some point later I will, who knows. Soo Jesus said I was right and the christian protesters are wrong, OK. Soo fake news everybody. Fake news. I'm supposed to meet with the father and the holy spirit soon, great guys, we have a special relationship. They like me. OK. And they will never tell you this, and I shouldn't say this, but they tell me those protesters are wrong and honestly just losers. And Fake. OK. Don't tell them I told y'all that."

    He understands one rule. Rules don't matter.

    Unfortunately none of those people will have anymore knowledge on those laws as none of them have read the Mueller report.
  13. Lagunamadre
    He just advocated breaking the law.

    "Great American Patriots, each and every one of them. You know a lot of people say I remind them of those guys. But who knows, we'll see."

    Jesus, that ambassador to Poland. Why does everybody in Trump's orbit look like a villain in a Disney movie?
  16. Lagunamadre
    I would bet that Trump has never ready a book from cover to cover in his adult life.
  17. Lagunamadre
    He's already done away with Article I, not sure why he'd stop there.
  18. Lagunamadre
    He should spend most of his time and money campaigning in Vermont.

    Re the NPR heart string stories. I've somewhat resigned to the fact that I cannot keep paying attention to the plight of much of the world. That really will ruin your existence. Especially when coupled with the realization that you can't do anything to change it. I've gone down the rabbit hole in the past on the average daily life in Syria, Yemen, and various African countries and it takes you to a dark dark place. I had to just accept the fact that the world for the most part is a shitty place and human beings, left unchecked, are power hungry assholes willing to lie, cheat and kill in order to gain power, and in many cases lie, cheat and kill to survive the wrath of the power hungry. Now I just try to keep an eye on geopolitics and try to ignore the pain and suffering of the constituents of the various bad actors. I'd rather play Risk than watch Schindler's List for the rest of my life.

    This has been an internal struggle of mine in the Trump years. Adopt the "ignorance is bliss" mantra vs. stay informed and mad. I don't want to be ignorant and I hate being mad. It's a lose lose. A happy medium I've found is deleting twitter and facebook and turning off cable news. Limit my news intake to reading WAPO in the morning (no opinion pieces) and only watching CNBC/Bloomberg. Now, what to do about surlyhorns?
  21. Lagunamadre
    I'm OK with term limits as well. Also, LOL at the rich reps not being beholden to lobbyist.
  22. Lagunamadre
    I'd say we have a maximum age of 57 and double their salary. Let's get reps whose brains work and compensate them commensurate to what a successful person would earn at the peak of their career.

  24. Lagunamadre
    Damn. That was powerful.
  25. Lagunamadre
    Under a normal Commander in Chief, sure. A couple more years of Trump and our armed forces will all look like Chotchkie's employees.
