Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all

Remember in Vietnam, when you said they should just put all the generals together in one room and let them kill each other? I don't ever recall saying that re Vietnam or any other armed conflict. Sure, it's an engaging idea, and I would have liked to see Nixin (or even LBJ) in a 15 rounder, but com...

Re: Absolutely speechless

or if you're supporting it with aid and comfort.
So, in other words, if you are practicing you right as an American to protest and/or speak out against the actions of ICE or the rest of the administration; and the scary thing is some cheer this curtailing of rights and great progress. :roll:

Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all

If you find out let me know. As for Charlie Kirk's old group, rather than banning it, I think it would be better to permit themselves to discredit their views with their own rhetoric. Sure, some will cheer the idiocy--but for the most part, the rest will recognize it for the idiocy it is. Free speec...

Re: This is a really shitty map

IMHO, the two things that have contributed most to the progress of civilization are sanitation followed by vaccines; but I guess Robert Kennedy Jr will take on sanitation projects next. Ignorance is the biggest threat to civilization, followed by arrogance/hubris, and Trump et al. have taken pains t...

Re: It Figures that Trump Would be on.....

From the US mint website: May 18, 1908, an act was passed by Congress restoring the motto “In God we trust” on the coins of the United States, to take effect thirty days after its passage. The motto appears on all gold and silver coins struck since July 1, 1908, with the exception of the dime. AN AC...

Re: It Figures that Trump Would be on.....

BSG--my understanding is that paper money has contained the motto since the 50s (around the same time "under God" was added to the pledge, but it has been on coins since the mid 19th century.

Obama? Even W and Nixon will be more beloved than Trump. And I would bet historians will have more respect for Buchnan and Andrew Johnson.

Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all

If there is an "insurgency" and the same idiots (or their next generation) ar still in place, I hope that some of the fat generals and admirals discharged by Hegseth, the guys who know how to run a major armed force and battles, join the side of freedom and defeat those lunkheads who are put in thei...

Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all

You did express your hope: " I hope it would be more of an insurgency...". And now you say what you hope for is not what you want? :shrug

Re: Absolutely speechless

I was reading about the bombing of Venezuelan boats, which was apparently somehow at the direction of Temu Goebbles Stephen Miller (???) with the blessing of Mango Mussolini. They didn't care whether it was a violation of international law or murder; their only question was whether anyone could sto...

Re: Do You Get Tired of Being a Hypocrite? Bill Clinton Did This.

you people are worried about who's screwing who. I don't care if a guy does goats, as long as the goat doesn't mind and the goat is happy.
But yet you were the one who brought up Clinton and his dalliances decades ago. Apparently you care more than you'll admit.

Re: Looks like there was a good guy with a gun after all

I hope it would be more of an insurgency, one that targets intellectuals, elites, political leaders, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, and maybe even celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel You really want that? Celebrities aside, intellectuals, elites (I guess it depends how you define them), political leaders,...

In the article, I was intrigued by "viral clip of him debating a “woke” college student on abortion rights and completely dismantling her argument"; I would love to see that. From what I have seen of him, he was like Rush Limbaugh, not capable of creating a cogent stream of thought, only attacking b...
