That was not very subtle at all. You are in violation of rule # thread title. If you don’t shape it up I will let the mods handle it.
And for the record, traffic lights go green, then yellow, then red.
Of course this is right because it only pertains to those not in the majority of this thread. We certainly could never have anything to show that it is okay to disagree and not talk stupid sarcastic dumb shit all the time about the minority of the thread.
JEDIT: Apparently you don’t read so well. 😦
Aren’t these statements insulting? They seem worse than what you are accusing Frink of. But I do like that you turned your reply to me into a joke LOL.
I’ll start.
Boy, the sky sure looks blue today!
Rule #1: Only insults allowed.
Rule #2: We shall not waste thread space by discussing how the statement was actually insulting.
Personal insults on the last two posts!
Why won’t all you posse grabbers just stop always bringing up the emails? 😦
Autocorrect! 😭
I’m no longer a Republican, but still identify as conservative. While there is no doubt that Republicans are generally less educated than Democrats, there seems to be an overly-simplistic assumption on the part of many liberals that Republicans are, by and large, a bunch of dumb hicks. More generally, there is a consensus that, by virtue of having more education, liberals are automatically right about all policies where the two sides of the spectrum differ. I even saw an inspiring comment from a liberal here saying that liberals should not be so condescending to conservatives, yet still acknowledging that liberalism is always right.
The above article actually demonstrates that Republicans are more likely to know where North Korea is and favor less militaristic solutions to the complex situation there. Also associated with these items was higher education. My point to this is that there are intelligent, level-headed people on the Right. Yes, we’ve got a large basket of Trump-voting nutjobs who refuse to see anything he says or does as bad, but we also have people who are well educated and favor diplomacy. Don’t overgeneralize.
I got a small jar of Vegemite from the food bank once…Perhaps that was a mistake.
Yes, that was a mistake.
Nixon fired the special prosecutor but I think that fact that we’re comparing this to the Saturday Night Massacre should really say it all (if we’re trying to excuse this as having a precedent, think about what that precedent actually is).
As for Clinton
if you can show me that the Justice Department found that Comey abused his office, maybe I’ll say they’re similar, but I don’t think that’s the case (and Clinton even asked him to resign first, whereas Comey heard the news on TV).
If Trump’s trying to pretend firing Comey had nothing to do with the Russian investigation, he’s not doing a very good job of it:
“And in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story.’”
Of course he’s not outright saying it (and in fairness he says the investigation will continue), but it’s pretty easy to read between the lines here and connect the dots. He wants someone in charge who’ll be more loyal to him. The White House has yet to given any believable explanation as to the firing that would suggest otherwise.
As for whether this actually means there’s incriminating evidence out there on Trump, who’s to say. I’ve always though that while the Russian interference is undeniable, the Trump campaign involvement is a toss up. It could simply be that, whether in the wrong or not, Trump didn’t like Comey investigating him. I have to circle around to John Oliver’s dubbing of this all as “Stupid Watergate.” It’s just too apt. Whether through maliciousness or pure idiocy, Trump is extending his powers in ways that should make everyone at least a little worried.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it was stupid and unethical. I just don’t like the comparison to a Stalinist purge.
European Jews in 1930 could not predict that three-quarters of their people would be slaughtered like animals in extermination camps just a mere decade later. People in 2014 had no idea the United States would become a totalitarian dictatorship helmed by a psychopathic former reality star and his equally psychotic family.
We are in hell; in fact we may have even surpassed it.
So if you think hell is better than here, if I told you to go there, it wouldn’t be an insult, would it?
Trump still PURGED Comey, something UNPRECEDENTED in US history. This something that Stalin would do, not a sitting president. Isn’t that why conservatives are afraid of the government in the first place?
Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton did this well before Trump did. Do some research on this.
😃
Exactly. Thanks, Fo. I cannot stand the man called Trump, but firing Comey is nowhere near an equivalent to Soviet Communist purges.
General, being realistic is not normalizing. Your hyperbole, on the other hand, actually tends to make his actions look more acceptable in contrast because everyone else knows things are not as you describe.
I did my research, and neither Nixon nor Clinton fired the FBI director because of an investigation into election interference. You are trying to derail the argument.
This is not normal. We need to be paranoid and vigilant at every minute of every day until this crisis ends, even if it takes decades. We cannot normalize any single aspect of the Trump administration, AT ANY PRICE.
You got this covered, buddy.
Nixon never fired the FBI director, only Clinton did that.
I never took the reference that no one has ever done this before to mean it was limited to FBI directors. I took it more as politically-motivated firings.
Yes you could.
I don’t know how true that is. I have health insurance but it’s garbage for mental health issues (ironic since the stress of my workplace is outrageous at times, sadly more from within that from the outside) even though nearly everyone that works here has had to go to a psych ward at some point in their lives. I can’t afford mental help. I’m still thousands in debt from the last time I tried and I make too much money to qualify for assistance, but not enough to actually afford it for myself. What a genius system lol.
It will probably make little difference between the ACA and the ACA for someone with private insurance. Admittedly, I was making an assumption about frievious and believed he for Medicaid based on his statement. If I was wrong, I apologize.

It’s happened before.
Yes you could.
Yep, the first president to fire someone.
Look, I don’t like the guy either, but in order to persuade people to see your side, your side has to be rational. If you honestly believe half of what you say (and I’m not convinced you do), then you genuinely need to seek mental health services. This is not an insult, but rather an honest recommendation.

Mother Father Sister Brother!
Round and round, caught up in a tangle of lies and deception.
James Comey is only the first victim of the dictatorship’s purges.
Donald Trump is the most evil sentient being that has ever existed in the observable universe. Thousands will start disappearing in the next few weeks; first in the inner cities under an expanded war on drugs, then spreading through every level of society until every family will have a member killed by this regime. Concentration camps are being built right now under our noses; their first occupants will be the undocumented of course, but it will expand to anyone with a hispanic name, then to muslims, and then to political dissidents. By the time Trump dies (the only way he will not be president anymore), 20 million or more will be murdered.
Democracy dies in darkness.
I’d rather kill myself than be killed by the government.
- No ridiculous doom saying (like all non-Trump supporters will be rounded up and executed)
Were you not here when this thread went into UFO talk?
No amount of ridiculous doomsaying here can match what the Trump administration is able to do.
No amount of apologetics can cover up the fact that you are a complete nutjob.
These fellow conservatives are getting quite out of hand. Even I can’t understand their logic, at times.
I passed it along, and he said, “Gee, golly! Thanks, Mr. Valorum!” 😉
I’m glad you liked it 😃
Saw this and thought it was interesting:

- Distinguish the Starkiller from the Death Stars. I think this shouldn’t be too difficult. It’s name is “star” + “killer” after all, and besides a reference to early Star Wars concepts/Luke’s original last name, it could easily be changed to a weapon much like the Centerpoint Station of the old EU, which was stationary but fired a powerful beam at distant stars and caused them to supernova. I imagine a little technical wizardry could easily fire that beam at a star instead of the planet, cause a supernova (witnessed from the ground of Hosnian Prime), and have the supernova destroy the system. Meanwhile, remove our heroes actually witnessing this from Takdona.
So someone (definitely not me) edited this idea before TFA came out on BD/DVD. This individual used a bootleg, it is obvious, but has most certainly purchased the BD since. I believe the individual was afraid to share this idea due to it being made from a bootleg, but he reassures me he pre-ordered the BD from Amazon which arrived on the official release day. He hopes the fact that he did not feel like re-editing this with good footage will not cause a problem. This is just to pose an interesting idea.
Did I mention this is not me?
