Christopher Columbus was a white supremacist? I thought he was an explorer. The President is a fink. |

There was much wrong with Columbus. Not least the fact he never understood what he stumbled into. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

It's really stupid to piss off your bodyguard. On the other hand, Congress could pass a bill setting a ceiling on how much the Secret Service can spend on protection, the shortfall to be made up by the protectees, who could also choose to do without. This kind of thing could lead to Secret Service agents being offered money by outside interests with, let us say, less than wholesome intentions. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

We want to punish present people for attitudes others had in the past. To the brainless morons this sounds fair. And mobs have to do it, voters can't be trusted. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | What is it in Afghanistan that we don't know about? Obama and Trump both ran on the 'get out of there platform', yet Obama spent 8 years building the war up, and now Trump is doing the same thing. All the experts say there will never be any kind of victory there, in 200 years of wars nobody has ever beaten them. It must be the strategy of having 10K troops in that part of the world on a permanent basis, it's sure not about winning anything. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

My guess is, it's not been much of a country for a long time. Nomadics, farmers, warlords and a small portion of modern government. It's a country held together by chewing gum and duct tape. Can't fix it, can't shoot it, can't leave it alone either. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
