They won't feel big when they start meeting leveled rifles when they show up to pull people away. I fear that we're almost at that point.

That's all it is to him. A four-year grift. Just like last time.

Also, why would we have a drought anywhere? It seems that if what these idiots think is true, the government could prevent drought almost anywhere, right?

Red states, enjoy the lack of any FEMA response to your floods. The Orange Ignoramus killed that agency. You're on your own. Usually karma isn't this quick. Are we learning anything yet?

There you see the sole requirement for a position with this administration: blind loyalty. Competence not required.

Are you seriously suggesting that diplomacy can resolve a situation where one sides avowed primary goal is the complete erasure of the Jewish state?

I completely agree. We should require at least the mastery that we require of a 16 year old in a car before we give him the keys. People should be able to prove they can parallel park their pistol.

I am a licensed gun owner in the state of New york. Every gun owner I know - and I tend to know only the responsible ones - has absolutely no problem with the training requirement. Why would you?!

Maybe if a democratic Administration follows tRump, they can take him and his cabinet and do the same to them.

Historically, tariffs have always been a disaster. Apparently no one in the administration reads books or knows anything about history. Of course, this does not surprise me.

The idea that liberals are just asking for handouts and conservatives are doing all the work is hilarious. In fact, liberals tend to be more educated higher earners than are conservatives. The red states suck far more money out of the federal government for aid then do the blue states.

Steve (@sefstrat.bsky.social) reply parent
It makes no difference. Thy're minority and can't control anything until after the midterms, when numbers will hopefully change. The political process is a complete waste of time now. Non-compliance will be more effective.
Steve (@sefstrat.bsky.social) reply parent
If you are a member, you should have been getting bulletins from them by email. They are doing so, they are asking people to write to various politicians, and so on. Read their communications. They're doing everything you are asking about.

Agreed. And I have never understood why they give you all the disclaimers even when they run the ads. They have to be prescribed by a physician. Why are they giving you disclaimers on television?
Steve (@sefstrat.bsky.social) reply parent
Sigh. And you wonder why we have no trust around the world today. The idiot in the Oval Office thinks isolationism will actually work in this world. The reason he thinks that is that he's never studied history and never cracked a book (something he's actually proud of). He's deliberately uninformed.

Non-compliance will always be a better and more effective form of resistance then talking to your elected representatives. Your elected representatives aren't going to do a damn thing, that should be obvious. The US Army is refusing to comply with the executive order with regard to LGBTQ soldiers.

You got that right. Many Democratic liberals are armed, too-and train regularly.

No, I don't think so. I think we're in trouble because we're 125th on the literacy scale among the other countries in the world, and we are now becoming populated by uneducated morons. It doesn't have much to do with their entertainment taste.
Steve (@sefstrat.bsky.social) reply parent
On that, we agree. But I'd rather read it, as poetry. Please give me a half-time show that will entertain and please the majority of the people who are watching a Super Bowl.

I understand the explanations. But the performance still sucked! The choreography was unimaginative and barely choreography much of the time. Music is composed of Rhythm and pitch, and half of that was missing much of the time.

This one won't last either. The courts are shutting down all this crap day after day.

Ever notice that whenever they cut away during an NFL football game to commercials, the brief amount of music played is always classic rock? If you think that the majority of worldwide viewers watching the Super Bowl are fans of hip hop, you are kidding yourself. Pandering.
Steve (@sefstrat.bsky.social) reply parent
That's the whole idea. He wants big business and the credit card companies to screw American consumers.
Steve (@sefstrat.bsky.social) reply parent
You may not agree with the things he says, but we have to agree that his opinions are ultimately massively more informed than any that we have. I feel the same about Tony Romo.
