    Why? Bush was more in control of his people. He also didn’t rush into Iraq like an idiot and destabilize the region. The man experienced war (was shot down, and several of his fellow pilots were cannibalized by the Japanese) and lead the CIA.

    Yeah, just 3 years removed from that last little part, which is the problem.   

    The people under him were doing this shit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Condor

    Not that things were all that better in ‘89, and we completely continued to fuck with South America in the 80s,  but I think the people he would, have had around him in ‘81 would have been a lot worse.

    Is it wrong I was rooting for the cop to light her up again?

    Is it wrong that a Trumpkin relative (older white female) posted this video on her Facebook feed and expressed outrage, and I posted “She had Trump bumper stickers, and I heard that cop targeted her for being a Trump supporter.  Why else would he pull a gun, and later taze  her over a tail light?”

  3. Picking up some steam.   People in a Kentucky are apparently smart enough to realize when a Putin ally wants to invest $200 million in the state.  

    And the Dems, for once, are competent

    Democrats in Mitch McConnell's home state are pitching "Moscow Mitch" merchandise to try and capitalize on a bitter dispute involving the Kentucky senator over election security legislation.

    The Kentucky Democratic Party said Wednesday it's launching the "Moscow Mitch" webstore in a dig at the Senate majority leader.

    The party is selling red T-shirts for $25. They depict a picture of McConnell wearing a Cossack hat with the "hammer and sickle" symbol. The shirt declares "Just say Nyet to Moscow Mitch" in yellow, Soviet-style letters.

    I have been told all my life that it's an officers option to give you a ticket, and that they are doing you a favor and showing you a courtesy by doing so.  That arrest is always an option.

    Being argumentative and telling an officer he has an "attitude" in this day and age is not wise  or having a big mouth camera broad running her mouth.

    Not saying this was right, but damn there's times to be quiet.

    Big-mouth camera broad is the only reason he’s not in the hospital on a ventilator.  Or worse.

    A lot less debt and stupid foreign policy. Saying Ronnie won the cold war is akin to saying the slowguy on the relay won the race. Or crediting the current economic situation to Trump.

    Not saying he won it, a lot of those policies were from the folks around him - just saying that things probably play out worse with a second Carter term, and I think Iran-Contra would pale in comparison to the shenanigans the elder Bush would have gotten us into, in 1981.   I shudder to think about some of the people the elder Bush would have had on his staff in ‘81.

    Moscow Mitch talk not going away.

    If it wasn’t, he wouldn’t have been trying to get ahead of it on the Senate floor this week.  

    I still think he’s pretty safe, but I’m guessing his internal polling doesn’t have him where he feels comfortable enough to ignore this.

    I just troll Trump supporters IRL with statements like, “you know Trump is secretly for open borders? He’s also a big tax and spend democrat with the tariffs and the trillion dollar deficits.  I can’t believe you voted for that guy.”

    Troll the religious folks with “he has been married multiple times, he was a democrat for a long time, he was friends with the Clintons, he’s cheated on multiple wives, he does not believe in forgiveness, he takes the Lord’s name in vain at public rallies, he can’t quote the Bible AND he doesn’t even understand how Bible verses work, he openly brags about committing adultery, his daughter and son-in-law are liberals, most of the time he marries foreigners” and so on.   

    One of those usually hits a nerve, and they refuse to defend it.

  8. I would give Trump supporters a free pass on the racism thing if they vote against him next year.  They can claim to have been ignorant prior to 2016, I.e. not researching his past, voting against Hillary, etc. 

    If a lot of Republicans, including the prime time lineup on Fox News, would denounce Trump’s attacks, he’d do a 180.  He has a pathological need to be loved, and those around him and who support him could easily use that against him.   If he believed his base was against him saying such things, he would do a 180 on a dime.

  9. Dershowitz may not fuck 16 year-olds, but he has defended those who do, and even tries to justify it legally.  

    I see and know plenty of Trump supporters who I think are probably not racist, but I don’t see them calling out Trump during his tirades, and when they start to even defend them, either through the “it’s fake news” bullshit, or the “he dated a black girl” crap, or his comments are actually about economics and not race  (“there’s white people in Baltimore as well”), then, well, see Alan Dershowitz.
