I'm not talking about Iraq, though. Answer the question.

I did answer the question! I said it looks like she made up the story. If you want me to further humor you with an elaboration, then obviously you didn't get my iraq comment.

So here's what I think about the fact that she prob made up the story.

...not much...

Don't think so. Was doing some light reading and he's the type who, although respected in the military world, went against the status quo. He wrote a book being critical of Vietnam War and that supposedly resulted him being passed over for promotion to Brigadier General at the time. He's obviously of a higher rank now.

Also, I may be looking too much into it but seeing this guy makes me think he's not the type to take shit from anyone.

You would be correct in thinking that. I was in Iraq when he was there and he had just that reputation.
 
FFS This thread has descended into farce. I put that Alex guy on ignore at around page fivefortysomething when he couldn't hold anything like an intelligent thought.

The last 10+ pages generated while I slept are unreadable. Skimming through without his input to give context literally reads like spam. So many are replying to just him that the thread topic is lost.

I don't vote for censorship but surely it's far easier to just limit one misguided person to one or two posts a day than it is to stop 30 people getting p1ssy and generating noise.

Living in NZ this thread acted as my springboard for a daily Trump digest first thing in the morning. Now it's broken. "Sad"

I'll bring you up to date. Trump is still the president and everything is going to plan.

Sure you do. People think they want chaos. I used to think that too when I was an edgy teen when V for Vendetta was so cool.

The reality is that chaos makes lives miserable for LOTS of people, including your loved ones. Be careful what you wish for.

He likes chaos since the political side he is a part of (or thinks he is a part of in the alt-right's case) holds power.
 
A source familiar with the process said that the new order was still being drafted over the weekend. The source said that it was also likely to address religious discrimination issues by modifying or removing one section of the original order. That section, 5 (b), said that the Secretary of Homeland Security, "is further directed to make changes, to the extent permitted by law, to prioritize refugee claims made by individuals on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country of nationality."

One sticking point remained whether existing non-immigrant visas would be revoked. A source familiar with the discussions said the Justice Department preferred to not revoke existing non-immigrant visas, while the White House and Department of Homeland Security were considering doing so.

Just coming back from London anti tRump Demo. Around 15000 people outside parliament all swearing obscenities at May and Trump. Very humorous and rude signboards too! Will post some pics soon :)
 
Instead, Nunes said he is most concerned that the FBI was recording Flynn’s call with the Russian envoy — which was then leaked to press.

"I expect for the FBI to tell me what is going on, and they better have a good answer," Nunes told the Washington Post, in line with Trump’s response to Flynn’s resignation. "The big problem I see here is that you have an American citizen who had his phone calls recorded."

If you got your info from that article then I assume you didn't bother to read all the way through because this is found halfway down the article:

He blamed America's "phoney" electoral collegesystem for the result, despite the fact Obama did not actually lose the popular vote — he beat Republican candidate Mitt Romney by 5 million votes.

Your arrogance is sickening, and the question remains how many more defeats does the regressive left need to experience before they realise that Trump voters / Brexiters/ Zionists/ Racists / Sexists etc. just can't be arsed to engage with a bunch of serial losers.

You made this.

Why are 'the regressive left' losers?

I realised some time ago that Racists, Zionists and Trump voters don't want to engage with me, but that's because I use rational thought, logic and fact to support my comments. Why would people want to engage in a discussion that allows them to quickly realise their purpose in life is built on conjecture and completely inaccurate and misleading information from those they've placed (or misplaced) their faith in to bring about a change for...well... any change.

Yes he did, Trump said that he hadn't won the vote.

Do you see the problem here Alex? How can you advocate someone that lets you down so regularly on simple matters?

He says Obama lost the popular vote and you come in here pedalling the same rhetoric and look a bit silly. The concern here is you've obviously become desensitised to bullshit from the top down due to your nations leader. It doesn't mean we are flakey because we refuse to put up with the little lies, the misleading anecdotes and factual inconsistencies.
 
Just heard that McMaster had to accept the position as he's a serving general, is that true?

Still, main thing is that he seems perfectly sane, so an automatic upgrade.
 
With Flynn gone and Kelly, Mattis, and now McMaster in their jobs, Bannon - who is already dealing with Priebus - will have much more difficult time gaining traction with some of his ethno nationalist policies. Good for everyone.
 
I wonder what Trump will do if the worst case scenario California flooding occurs and he has to confront a climate change driven disaster.

Ignore it, no doubt.

Considering Trump's narcissism someone should really, really try to sell the importance of climate change to him, and argue that Trump himself could be massive for innovation and the planet if he fights against it. It's almost the sort of thing he would buy if someone fed into the self-obsession enough whilst making the argument.

Possibly, I read an article yesterday and it was also a segment on CNN that Trump would be forced to pick an active serving person for the job to ensure he wouldn't get rejected again. Apparently, the Flynn debacle was a great source of embarrassment for Trump, but not as embarrassing as the job offers to his replacements publically turning him down. It was widely believed the job would have to be offered in house to avoid that happening again. The main reason why people didn't want the job (allegedly) is because of the constraints put upon them from the beginning, even their secretary is hand picked for them and her job is to report everything to the President. I will look for the article, it was an interesting read.

Changing the subject slightly, does anyone have any clips of Saturday Night Live this week? Nothing has come up on YouTube yet. And this thread used to be amazing for SNL clips and all the other hosts like Colbert and Noah, but it seems to be sadly lacking recently. Being from the UK, it was nice to visit this thread and get all the clips in one place and maybe they have been posted this week, but with so much shite it would have been easy to miss them. @Crossie do you think it may be a good idea to incorporate the SNL, Colbert, Noah etc clips to the cartoons thread? Or do you think maybe they deserve their own?
 
Came across a couple of videos that I thought were interesting. They may have been posted here previously but doesn't hurt to post them again I suppose. (put them in the spoilers, just in case)

Vox is a really good and informative channel, you should view some of their other videos too if you are new to them
 
Tucker Carlson trying his best to portray Sweden as some sort of dystopian refugee nightmare to save face.
30 mins of nonsense. He found some rape stats and rammed them into the ground despite being told over and over again that the number has risen due to Sweden widening the legal definition of sexual assult.
Keep interrupting Tucker...that'll cover you.
Idiot.
 


@Rado_N :(

For fecks sake! Trump ruins everything. Piss poor choice from Rory who has always previously kept well clear of getting mixed up with politics. It really hasn't gone down well with his fans due to him previously continuously refusing to comment or get involved in political matters when asked in interviews. He was injured too, had the perfect excuse to avoid the call that was apparently set up by his sponsors.

Jeb grows a pair, well not really, he just jabs at Trump from the safety of his keyboard, he does post an interesting article though that has some valid points and brings up the complexities of a border wall, especially the problems with Trump's two favourite words and his favourite loophole 'eminent domain'

It also mentions how this has been tried numerous times and existing border wall attempts are still waiting to be heard in court. Most hold ups are due to land owners refusing to sell, disputed territory arguments, protected land, and price of land. I saw one guy being interviewed on Fox last week who sold his land that was valued at £200,000 for nearly £2.5 MILLION! over TEN TIMES the actual value. There's also stories of people buying up land on the border just to hold the government to ransom when they come knocking. Another problem too is it would be practically impossible to build a wall in many areas. The only one thing that is certain at the moment, and that is it isn't going up anytime soon and that Trump's plans may have hit ermmmm, a wall. (sorry)

45 has a brain fart while public speaking and Sweden is now a failed state in the eyes of the 47% and fair game for all tRump zealots to propagate in whatever suits their agenda.

WT actual F?!
