Dude, you have one of the coolest avatars on this site but your posts kinda suck. 

That’s ok.  My avatar reflects my day to day interests more than politics.  I’ve met Earl. He seemed like a good old boy.  If I met Willie I’d be able to split a joint with him. 

The vitriol in my brief interactions here has really surprised me.  We may as a country really be fucked. There’s more to people than their politics.  I suspect if I crossed paths with Jimmy Jazz or Brisket we’d get along fine. This new internet era has a way of tarnishing people’s interactions in a big way.  

I can’t remember if I saw it here or elsewhere but I read an interesting piece theorizing that a big part of our breakdown in political discourse has been the decline of social clubs or personal interactions. Specifically the decline in church participation or clubs like the Elk’s or bowling clubs or whatever.  Point being, if you hang in social situations and enjoy yourself you’re less likely to hold people in contempt based on how they voted. I’m not sure how or if that can be turned back. 

Long story short, sorry you’re not enjoying my posts.  I think we agree more than disagree on Elon though, for instance.

Just not cosmopolitan enough...or embracing the socialism.

 

To the point of the thread though, we aren't the only ones saying the EU sucks.  Our biggest ally in the world rejected it long before Trump did.

"We" aren't saying the EU sucks. Putin and Trump are.

So did Great Britain, but don't read my post addressing such news...

 

Just roll with whatever the fuck it is you want to say... it's the "in" thing right now.

She should have campaigned in MI, WI, and PA.

But twatting requires much less effort (but more than twat spamming).

REEEEEEEE! 

I know right, we should continue to rub her face in a pile of dog shit and lambast her for dare thinking she should have any thoughts again.

Your logic is bad here slorch.  GB left the EU, but they didn't say the EU is an enemy.  They didn't even say the EU sucks.  The vote was whether to stay or leave.  They chose to leave.  Had the vote been:

Do you think the EU sucks? Check yes or no

Then, yeah you'd have a point.  But instead, the vote could've meant any number of things, such as "Yeah the EU is cool and all, but we like going solo," or "The EU sucks," or "I have no opinion about the EU one way or another, but I liked it better when we weren't part of any continental alliances," or any number of other things in between.  

I'll give you an analogy...Nebraska got butt hurt they couldn't win in the Big 12 so they looked for a new home.  They didn't really care about the Big 12, except they hated losing to Texas, so they GTFO.  Aggy on the other hand, super hated the Big 12 because they also couldn't win, but they couldn't win against more of their conference mates.  Colorado, on the other hand, liked the Big 12 just fine, but they knew if they didn't jump fast, they were going to lose their spot in the Pac whatever to Baylor, so they did what they thought a lot of the rest of the Big 12 was going to do until Aggy threw a wrench in the works.  And Mizzou, I don't think they cared one way or another about the Big 12. Several schools left the alliance, all for different reasons, and all with different opinions about the alliance they were leaving.

Mueller's face is going to pop up on the closed circuit tv while Trump and Putin are snugglin' on the hot tub like the ending of a Bond film.

More like the end of the Kingsman movie because of the buttsecs.

There is no doubt that trump admires putin and would emulate his tactics if he could. 

Those tactics include killing people that criticize him.

is there anyone here who thinks trump wouldn’t do that if he could? Trolls care to chime in? 

Well, you know, a few days ago some of us were scolded for suggesting that border patrol agents might shoot on sight, so I'm sure it's wholly impossible to imagine Trump's administration executing those who dare to disagree.

The optimist in me says the only reason that might be little more than a fever nightmare is because the military would never allow it any any large scale . . . they would intervene.  But would Trump try it?  Absolutely.  He has no morals, no sense of patriotism, nothing beyond "Trump".  People keep pushing back on this idea because their perspective is framed by what they have experienced or learned.  No American President . . . ever . . . has entertained these thoughts of wholesale destruction of the republic and replacement with a dictatorship.  If you think that's true of Trump, you're a fucking moron, and sadly, there are a LOT of fucking morons out there.

Nope.

I think that most of us here would get along fairly well in social settings if not for political brain rot, outside of the few autistics with social anxiety barriers.

If you think I'd get along fairly well with a Trump asslicker like GRHorn then you haven't been paying attention.  I don't play this character on surly, I *am* this character.  Fuck Trumpkins.  I don't want anything to do with any of them.

The teetering conservative government of Teresa May is dealing with the cognitive dissonance of Brits that sat in immediately after the Brexit vote..She's trying to see a way toward since a complete break with the EU is proving difficult:

I hate to break this to you, but you probably have pleasant interactions with multiple Trump supporters on any given day.

Trumpkins are like Joe Paterno apologists.  They don’t give a damn about who is getting fucked as long as they get their win.

You're right. We should focus on a failed presidential candidate and not on the president that's actively undermining relations with our allies while buddying up with a hostile foreign power that interfered in his election to his benefit.

Our Dotard just blamed the bad relationship on US and Russian on the US.

Ol' Ronnie is doing triple axles in his grave right now. Sure is a lot of crickets chirping from the party of Reagan worshippers every time Trump sides with Putin & Russia over the United States. I wonder why that is?

I agree.

i know little about the political passions of most people I interact with.

But I also think the dullard is a treasonous Orange cunt.

I have zero guilt about not voting for the orange cunt or the stupid cunt.  If you dems and reps want me to vote for one of your candidates, make sure they don't suck donkey dick. 

Congrats, we're now beholden to Russia because an inbred grifter is president.

President Obama thought that Crooked Hillary was going to win the election, so when he was informed by the FBI about Russian Meddling, he said it couldn’t happen, was no big deal, & did NOTHING about it.

That link is a few months old, but it's an excerpt from Isikoff/Corn's book about the lead-up to the 2016 election.

In my experience, that Venn diagram has a lot of overlap.

Well, the options are thin. Those are the only 2 pseudo compassionate people in the entire admin and they're both completely vapid.  Ivanka handles herself better in those situations though. Other than that theres one decent military man and a bunch of complete assholes, both men and women. 

Going back to what I said earlier
