The Political Thread - Machiavelli Edition
You know I always support the Dems on most issues but this whole constant almost irrational view of how Trump is always bad or racist or somehow is going to destroy the USA gets repetitive and unconvincing Trump needs to fulfill some important foreign objectives that for various reasons I am also now bound, for example the USA needs to decisively deal with Iran so we can have stability in the ME....yes there is finally one faction that I am aligned with or rather my cousins in the UK are now deeply invested in some hedge funds who also support the most unlikely alliance of the USA, Israel and Saudi Arabia I have traveled 3 times to Saudi Arabia in the last 2 months and this is the best overall approach to achieve a better ME...I never wanted the USA to ever get involved in the ME again because there efforts and sacrifice are never appreciated but events have now made the USA inextricably committed to another military campaign so we should now support this decision @ GD, do you think the Dems will be that successful, its not definite to even the ardent Dem strategists you see on CNN but there is some evidence they could do well? Shame I like Khanye, he isnt really considered an intellectual but he should be allowed to support Trump as he does have some reasons I think Kim is smoking hot but Nicki Minaj is still my favorite, she is a perfect example of if I could I would happily pay for a good date...no doubt

Advice on Video Cards
You right I did suggest money isnt a consideration, what I should have said is " money is not a problem but if I can get very similar overall performance and not pay as much them that is the preferred route " In SA I think we are horribly overcharged, for example the MSI RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO OC will cost me $1800 in SA What would you guys pay for this card?

Political Thread XX
This. This is exactly the kind of derp that makes me cut bait with you. I challenge a random, somehow uncounted (?), statistic and the clown car pulls up and disgorges this. I never even addressed the claims that were actually filed!. I honestly cant fathom how you operate in rl conversations. Look, maybe we just aren't good at understanding each other. For example, I have no idea what derp and cutting bait even means. Even after looking them up, in the context of our conversation it does not make sense to me. I also cannot fathom how you operate in rl conversations, but I am going to assume you do just fine for yourself. Outside of the political thread, we seem to communicate with one another successfully, so at least we have that. I agree, you two generally get on very well But I dont think Gfted1 is more or less snarky at times than others? I would say we all have our moments of snarkiness

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/aug/10/omarosa-trump-book-the-apprentice-memoir So another one of Trumps previous Political policy sycophants has written a book about her time in the White House Apparently Omarosa claims Trump is both racist and a misogynist ...but why did she work for him if she knew all this? I question her overall credibility

You right I do have some expectations for Trump, somethings he has delivered on but I must also not read too much into the disappointments he makes

Guys I cannot be the only one who has been assessing some of Trumps more controversial comments, especially when he Tweets, since his presidency began and has come to conclusion how truly uninformed he is about many global and historical events....it becomes embarrassing around certain things he says Granted he does backtrack on most things he says wrong but he still seems to have very little regard or understanding about what he says in the public arena For example his latest comments in Helsinki https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/07/17/trump-addresses-summit-criticism/790354002/
