I was thinking more in terms of moronic than enlightening. Though perhaps it can mean something similar.

Did these people forget that W and the GOP crashed the economy 10 years ago with similar BS? I guess most of us can still remember the economic paradise created by W when he did what mr Moore is now suggesting we do again. Not just that, but the dimwit who wrote this actually says Trump knows how to pay the bills. Seriously? Did this guy just drop in from Mars or something?

Tired of these right wing economerrorists. Since when is population growth not the #1 factor determining economic growth?

I do not support Donald J. Trump

The United States of America has been in a state of dire distress since November 8, 2016. Flying the flag upside down is not only our right, it is our duty!

What are you talking about Georgia is competitive. A 2 point lead in the polls is considered to be competitive.



Its a 5 point lead though.

That's the terrifying part of the American Nuclear Program, one person (POTUS) gets to choose. Everything else is just math.

They should refuse to launch.


After all, nuclear warfare is in itself an unlawful order. Nuclear warfare targets civilians by design. The first person to launch a nuclear weapon and trigger a nuclear exchange is worse than all the dictators and tyrants humanity has ever had combined.

But i guess the reality of disobeying an 'unlawful order' is a lot different than some here make it out to be.

If the Brits hadn't colonized North America, would the United States even exist? Or would North America be divvied up between a large former colony of France, Mexico, and a confederacy of First Nations?

Oh I thought you meant the brits just didn't colonize Canada, still colonized America.

Of course, if Canada had been a French colony instead of British, we would have had no cause to attack anyway.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

God damn it, a thousand years of successful military history, then you lose one World War against the strongest military power of its day and that's all anyone remembers.

I'm just giving France a little shit. It's fun.

The French resistance deserves significant credit in WW2, given they basically painted giant bullseyes on the things we needed to hit.

Islamic Republic e Jariri wrote:Um, why does everyone think Trump will invade Canada? Is that just a joke or is there some basis to it?

Some guy said that if Trump decided to invade Canada that the u.s military would be obligated to follow his orders unquestionably. people pointed out that it was illegal, he ignored it. and it just became a running joke.
In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now.

If the road is easy, the destination is worthless.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

I highly doubt my soul mate is living in Thailand and only a click away.

Too bad nobody voting for Trump will even know it happened, much less face the truth.
