    Flynn's Resignation

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Aisha Greyjoy

    At the highest levels

    begun has the season

    for men and women

    to commit foul treason

     

    Orange man at top

    a fool who cares not

    that soon he will feel

    Hell's fires are hot

     

    Our country they claim

    to love and adore

    they treat it like looters

    attacking a store

     

    While they get richer

    and our country gets weaker

    our people will die

    and our future get bleaker

     

    what hope do we have

    Ammendment 25th

    or perhaps that elusive

    impeachment myth

     

    Or we calmly await

    coming nuclear fire

    as the orange man

    tries to find a buyer

     

    for his burnt hotels

    or his chinese made wares

    none of it will matter

    as earth sheds her tears

     

    for the passing of man

    began with forty-five

    and when he is done

    none of us remain alive

    Why is the left so violent?

    Well, I see the right wing do it all the time with immigrant crimes.

     

    The FBI concluded right-wing terror groups were the most serious domestic threat in the USA.

    https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/testimony/the-terrorist-threat-confronting-the-united-states

     

    Domestic right-wing terrorist groups often adhere to the principles of racial supremacy and embrace antigovernment, antiregulatory beliefs. Generally, extremist right-wing groups engage in activity that is protected by constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly. Law enforcement becomes involved when the volatile talk of these groups transgresses into unlawful action.

     

    On the national level, formal right-wing hate groups, such as the National Alliance, the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC) and the Aryan Nations, represent a continuing terrorist threat. Although efforts have been made by some extremist groups to reduce openly racist rhetoric in order to appeal to a broader segment of the population and to focus increased attention on antigovernment sentiment, racism-based hatred remains an integral component of these groups’ core orientations.

     

    Right-wing groups continue to represent a serious terrorist threat. Two of the seven planned acts of terrorism prevented in 1999 were potentially large-scale, high-casualty attacks being planned by organized right-wing extremist groups.

    Not much changed since then, except it got worse.

    Why won't Republicans say "Radical Right-Wing Terrorism?"

    We live in a post facts world.

    The truth of it is very psychologically complicated.  We, as humans in America, have internalized various aspects of political agendas as being core to our identity.  We therefore reject facts that question our identity and believe lies that support our identity.

     

    Facts won't change people's minds.  Hot chicks and self interest can work wonders though.

     

    Here's an example.

     

    Do you want to keep this woman out of the country?  She might date you!

    Why Do Liberals Celebrate Christmas?

    Christians don't have to follow the ten commandments.  Jesus came with only two commandments, and they entirely replaced the need for the other ten.  The Old Testament is a covenant with the Jewish People.  He will be their God and they will be His People.  They 10 commandments are as obsolete as goat sacrifice, religiously speaking as a Christian.

     

    Mark 12: 30-31 really covers it.

    you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.â€

     

    If you love your neighbor, you don't bang his wife, steal from him, kill him,etc.  And if you love God, you don't take graven idols etc.  Ten into two.

    Given that, let me point you to the Sinjar Massacre and claim that American muslims are more violent.  ;)

    Dataless....yep.  

     

    I'm just emulating the style of this forum's posters.  Post inflamatory crap.  But key look, lighting is already cheering the deaths of innocent muslims by claiming they are gay hating wife beaters (i.e. conservatives).

    Trump to ban immigration from 7 muslim countries but doesn't ban immigration from Saudi Arabia and Gulf States

    in General Discussion

    Can you elaborate on your claim that Iran is a strong terrorist state? Most of the claims are the US just saying they are, yet there has been no direct attack from Iran since 1979 when college students sacked and held our embassy members as hostages. Supposedly they fund every Terrorist in the Known Universe including Galactus and Magneto, but the evidence is never given.

    Iran supports Hezbollah.  Hezbollah attacks Israel.  Therefore, Iran is Terrorism.  That's US logic for ya.

    Refresh my mind would ya?

    Saudi Arabia is "allegedly" a key US Ally.  

     

    Their business interests are vast in the USA.  Banning Saudis from coming here would seriously !@#$ up our commerce, unlike a few techies who can't get to work at Apple.

     

    Trump has had a lot of business dealings with the Saudis too.  Its certainly not the "total and complete shutdown" he promised if Saudis can come in, but not banning them makes a lot of sense.

    At what point does the spending stop?

    From the Majority Opinion: 

     

     

    It could very possibly be allowed at the federal level due to SCOTUS treating the two differently. 

    It would go to the court almost right away if it wasn't a constitutional amendment.  The Congress can't pass a law to invalidate parts of the constitution, generally speaking.  The constitution lays out the requirements.  

     

    Also, term limits will be a net gain in executive power and a net loss in legislative power.  So this will tend to see further power centralization in the white house.  I guess I trust 535 elected representatives and senators more then 1 elected president.  So, i'd probably have to vote against term limits if I had a vote.

    What America needs is new leadership tbh. There should be a term limit for both houses. Too bad we couldn't ever get that passed :/

    I seem to recall a variety of state term limits laws passed in the 90's and the Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional.  Let's use google-fu 

     

    A search for  "term limits supreme court invalidate" revealed this nice summary on Wikipedia.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Term_Limits,_Inc._v._Thornton

    I don't know about you, but when one group says "We flew planes into buildings," it's pretty clear-cut. When a group says that they attacked a building not because of a video, but politicians have debated if it was because of the video, then there is a gray area that needs to be addressed. 

    No one says today it was because of a video.  That information came out before all the facts were known.

     

    All GOP led investigations concluded there was no wrongdoing by Secretary Clinton or the white house.  No one investigated the 13 embassy attacks and 60 deaths of US personnel during Bush II's reign, so its clear to any thinking person that this is just meaningless partisan witchhunting.

     

    Edit:  It did help Clinton lose the election, so mission accomplished witchhunters!!!

    You have to have both sides working together to make the tax system more fair, increase taxes on the wealthy, and cut spending.

     

    I can always balance the budget using any number of online budget simulators.

     

    There's a ton of "detailed" provisions that help the budget, such as eliminating the cap on social security contributions.  For example, if you make 118,500 you pay a certain amount of social security tax.  If you make 750,000,000, you pay the exact same number, because it caps out when your income is 118,500.

     

    There is no magic bullet solution.  No single tax increase or spending cut will balance the budget alone.  Politicians like to lie about it.  Right wingers blame welfare queens, and liberals blame corporate welfare on the spending side.  

     

    Don't expect honesty from our cowardly status-quo politicians or the new breed of compulsive liar narcisist politicians.

    Someone convinced me to use paratroopers.  It was pretty neat with the German Army on the other side of the Maginot while my 12 paratroops took France and forced surrender without a single major land battle.  Oh, and England the same way, although I did lose a couple of troops in that one(failed landings).  So what's a nazi tyrant to do when he's annexed England and France in 36?  Obviously, take Italy and Spain in 37, by paradrop.  Ok, actually, they had too many low VP cities for a simple air drop to work, I did have to push in some with regular land forces.  

    Then the Yugoslavs joined Commintern, and WWII finally started for reals, with Poland in the way.

     

    I'm kinda like "This game is dumb, why keep playing" now.

    Trump screwed up in FA?

    Many of the emails were confirmed by one of the parties on the emails.  

     

    Of course, the smartest thing would be to release 1500 emails, and 1480 of them are authentic, then throw in 20 more damaging ones and let people assume they are true.  But I did not hear Podesta or the DNC insist the emails were fake.  The lack of denials demonstrates their validity.

    Trump's Cabinet Is Aparrently Too White

    I really say let him have the cabinet he wants.  Rick Perry to be in charge of America's Nuclear Arsenal and Nuclear Power Plants....to suceed the last two guys who were....wait for it...nuclear physicists...

     

    But as Obama says, elections have consequences.

     

    As long as no Nazis make it to the cabinet, I'm content.

    The US policies for WMDs is any of them is a nuclear weapon as far as the government is concerned and will be countered by US WMDs, which all happen to be nuclear. That also goes for the many, many countries that sit under our protective nuclear umbrella.

     

    There's still no proof those emails were even real. If you have a team of like ten Russian hackers it'd be pretty easy to fake email exchanges if they didn't find anything actually useful in the actual servers.

    I'm pretty sure the emails were real.  Hillary voter here.

     

    Yes, Russia used its cyber warfare capabilities to influence our election.  When all 17 US intelligence agencies agree on something, it probably happened, regardless of what partisans who adore Trump think.  No, Russia didn't actually "hack the vote".  But if they convinced enough people who were unconvinced Hillary was shady, that was a success.  Trump lost by about 3 million votes, but he won because he got a few dozen thousand votes in a few key states(MI-9000 votes, WI-23000 votes, PA-46000 votes).  Its "possible", but "unprovable" that he won beause of the influence of Russia on the election. 

     

    More likely is that the FBI opening and re-closing the investigation of Hillary's emails just before the election tipped the election in his favor.

     

    The actual content of the "leaked emails" wasn't really that damaging in my opinion.  More damaging was probably Hillary labeling Trump supporters, many of whom wave confederate flags and give nazi salutes, as deplorables.  The guy who's just a slob plumber who thinks maybe Trump can bring jobs back but usually votes Democrat, he just got called "deplorable", and he's pissed and she's sure as hell gonna go vote against Hillary now.  Throw in Hillary wasting time and money in deep red states because she arrogantly assumed she had this in the bag, and you can see how she lost.  A few million more in Wi and MI would have easily made a difference.  It might have been hard to win PA, the gap there was a lot of votes.

     

    Then there's the "fake news" planted by Russian bot armies spreading Pizzagate-like stories.  Even if those influenced 0.5% of the people, that's enough to have won the election

     

    But we'll never know if they influenced 0.0001% or 1%.  So, lets enjoy our 2nd Republican president this century who deserves an * next to his name.

     

    As for FA, once you get past our American traditions, and just play the world like its a god damn computer game, you can see China is America's sole rival in the world.  Everyone else just pretends.  So !@#$ing with our rival is probably good FA.

    Wow, I just saw it didn't save my reply. 

     

    To sum up my lost reply, I think we should keep the current system. On a 4473 (Question 11f), it asks if  you have been forcefully committed to a mental institution. It's all public record and will appear on a background check. This encourages people to seek help, while preventing further infringement and the problems you have stated. I also think people should be more open about any problems in their lives and try to encourage troubled people to get help. Currently, there is more or less a witch hunt for shooters. I can't find the article anymore, but one site had a list of signs of a shooter. One was "listening to music." We as a society need to get away from this madness and actually try to help people who may be going through hard times. 

    And also apply statistical reasoning to the threat guns present.  

     

    33k people die a year by guns.  That's a !@#$ing tragedy.

    480k people die a year due to tobacco, including 41k from second hand smole.  All so a few corporations can get rich.  That's worse then a tragedy.

     

    Terrorism in the USA killed 47 in 2015 by the way.

     

    Maybe take a few dozen billion from the fight on terror and spend it on smoking cessation(free nicorette?) or gun violence prevention?
