Gfted1 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Maybe Trump will buy and use Hitlers bunker phone? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Ben No.3 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 Maybe Trump will buy and use Hitlers bunker phone?It WOULD have a certain undeniable style Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows
Malcador Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Maybe Trump will buy and use Hitlers bunker phone? Nope, answered in the article why "they’re simply too uneducated to understand it,” and they tend to want “their own symbols” rather than historical Nazi gear."

Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Apparently Ted Cruz is going to debate Bernie Sanders about Obamacare on CNN tonight. Might be worth a watch.

Agiel Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) The "boast[ing] about the magnitude of his electoral college win" should come as no surprise given how someone who came out from under a rock on November 9th can get an adequate sense of Trump's character. And senior government sources in Australia have actually said that the WaPo article was "substantially accurate." I feel for the Ozzies a 1000% on this one, particularly in regards to this: U.S. officials said that Trump has behaved similarly in conversations with leaders of other countries, including Mexico. But his treatment of Turnbull was particularly striking because of the tight bond between the United States and Australia — countries that share intelligence, support one another diplomatically and have fought together in wars including in Iraq and Afghanistan. Throw steadfast allies like Germany and Australia under the bus and offer others like Poland and Romania who paid for American security guarantees in Iraq and Afghanistan when they didn't have to onto an altar. Gee, that doesn't sound like something that will bite the US in the ass at all down the line Edited February 2, 2017 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
algroth Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 It is like video games. The new thing always has to be better than the previous (or in trump's case more evil and more Hitlerish). L0LZ Until the hipster comes by and points the original is still the best (or, Hitler is still the most Hitlerish, anyhow). Yeah, I think it's pretty undeniable that Bush was compared by someone or another as Hitler. So was Obama, so was *every* head of government at some point or another by some or other person following WWII. It's the original Godwin's Law in action, really. 1 My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden

"This is the worst deal ever," Mr Trump fumed as Mr Turnbull attempted to confirm that the United States would honour its pledge to take in 1250 refugees from an Australian detention centre. Mr Trump, who one day earlier had signed an executive order temporarily barring the admissions of refugees, complained that he was "going to get killed" politically and accused Australia of seeking to export the "next Boston bombers". Bwahahaha. Thanks Obama.
Hiro Protagonist Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I find the whole political thing hilarious. Does not make one bit of sense.

You aren't doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it." Did he just call the whole Mexican army pussies and casually threatened the Mexican President with war in consecutive sentences? Does he realize he's not at WrestleMania anymore? I hadn't been putting much stock on the warnings about this clown and the nucular option, but how long now before he starts ranting about glass parking lots. I mean, he hasn't even been at the helm for two full weeks. 1 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Hurlshort Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Well how can they defeat the cartels when their president is a member of those cartels. Did you feel good about this comment?
Chilloutman Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Well how can they defeat the cartels when their president is a member of those cartels. Did you feel good about this comment? Well lets get real, of course there must be tons of corrupted politicians in Mexico, there is no way they would not dealt with cartels by now... I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Hurlshort Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 It's a pretty complex issue. Corruption is a problem, for sure, but just writing Mexico off as such has always bothered me.
Wrath of Dagon Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 We'll take care of the cartels on our side of the border.

There is nothing to feel good about when there are criminals as presidents... Tell me about it. Tax evasion is a serious crime. 2
