We all know enough about the Shrimp to understand that when he is especially threatened by a topic, he comes and pees on it.

We shoud pause a moment and consider how many people pee on Shrimp.

If the war ends with Ukraine being an independent and sovereign state, then Putin lost.

Trump did, too.

Trump/MAGA/GOP is the poster child for the banality of evil.

Where do the Nazis come from? We appear to raise them.

Other elected leaders excused the storm as so massive that no one could have prepared for it.

Like no one (except Tom Clancy) could see 911 coming?

This is BS. If you live in Texas, you learn the storms.

The second "mistake" was in not providing for that warning systems. Trump/MAGA/GOP is forever willing to trade lives for "savings". We have a massive rainy day fund that they refuse to even spend on rain.

But the FIRST mistake was allowing these camps to be built in those flood plains at all. There's nothing more Texan than a massive flash flood. EVERYONE knew that they would be washed away one day. EVERYONE, including those who made a profit from this game of Russian roulette every year.

It's going to happen again.

Of course the United States isn't prepared. Trump has sabotaged the medical prevention and response system in such a way that the next pandemic will get us another million dead, at least.

We've never had an external enemy do as much damage to this country as Trump.

I'm filing this under "traitor".

All Whites are racist, this is well known, ask any minority.

Which minorities do you associate with? Ever, I mean.

Narcissists always get bored with, and want to quit, things they do that don't go well.

This is usually accompanied by statements blaming others for the boredom and the not going well.

Just take four feet of a running start and give a good push. Trump falls over; fight finished.

Like an ever growing number of leftists you demand ideological conformity. Nothing less.

If you won't stop talking to me, you'll be ignored.

Trump rapes aliens.

The world is not binary and you are not on the side of angels.

And you are a cynical and empty POS.

Plonk me. Please. You are a waste of air.

More simply put, you have decided to come down on the side of scum.

The same scum that is attempting to ruin the lives of me, my family, and my neighbors.

Kind of rots our experience of you.

It's already killed many, many Americans.

Yoy won't get MAGA to grieve over them.

And that includes those of the dead who are MAGA.

Kash will leave office in the manner in which he came: a worm.

"These are people who served their country " many put their lives on the line," said Judge Florence Pan, an appointee of former President Joe Biden. "And you're saying that they have to give up their retired status in order to say something that is a textbook example taught at West Point and the Naval Academy " that you can disobey illegal orders."

This is common sense, principled Americanism.

If this attitude were more widespread, there would never be a MAGA and never be a Trump.

I would really like to have actual discussions on this site but it's become really difficult to find anyone willing to do so.

A certain level of trust is required for such discussions.

Now, if you'd like to discuss that, I might be willing.

In the meantime, what people like you have allowed to brew in this country is so existential that few people want to waste their time with disingenuousness.

No one thinks that Trump is one hundred percent guilty of everything he is accused of. But many of us think that he is guilty of ninety eight percent of it. And history will eventually prove that.

You don't know how he was threatened or what he was promised,

Your normal sensible conservative doesn't think like that.

You and your friends have been eating normal conservatives alive.

Pick your teeth, for decency's sake.

Just more denial

It's a terrible thing when a president is so contemptuously distrusted that no one accepts his preferred narrative of events.

All I can say is that Trump worked hard to get to this place.

And I'll point out that within one-half hour the man was using this "assassination attempt" to get his stupid ballroom.

This war will never end because Trump boxed himself into a place where any peace deal he gets he feels humiliates him.

He has just this one chance: That he uses his super powers to hallucinate a reality where a peace deal less good than Obama's is a tremendous victory worthy of Wellington at Waterloo....And if that specific hallucinations can be spiked into the favorite beverage of 300 million Americans.

I think that every senile orange-faced man in America deserves a one-billion dollar gold ball room.

Further, I think that any senile orange-faced man should be allowed to personally pocket the private donations he previously received for said ballroom.

Jerusalem's Old City in recent years has seen frequent incidents in which religious Jews spit on Christian sites or otherwise try to intimidate Christians and Christian clergy in the city, members of the city's Christian community say.

World War II is still in living memory.

I'm getting a strong impression that the Jews learned nothing.

Of course, World War II is still in living memory here.

And it's clear that at least 25% of Americans learned nothing from it.

you mean you didn't have a 2A childhood experience because guns simply existed in your life experience, they weren't a personality or lifestyle?

That would be true of me. It was Texas. I saw long guns constantly displayed in the backs of trucks.

I can't think of a single discussion, or even mention, much less bragging about guns until decades later.

Suddenly, young couples decided to get married in camo, and the families of congressmen began sending out Merry Christmas photos of their children holding arsenals.

"It is impossible that that officer did not see Cole holding a long gun. It is not possible that officer didn't notice the multiple knives on Cole's person"

Cole charged immediately after the cop and dog were gone, fully armed, as if he knew that the coast was clear to make a successful charge, which he did.
