Well this post didn't age well

not really... you're still right. isis is non-existent as a fighting force at this point. sure we'll still get sporadic terrorist attacks claimed to be in the name of isis for a while until the next new jihadist brand catches on, but for all intents and purposes isis is just a name now. a caliphate requires territory and they have none, their legitimacy is gone in the eyes of islamic clergy and any jihadi that is actually serious about the religion.

i have an ominous feeling that something really major is coming down this afternoon. no idea what it is but i just have a sense of foreboding that we're getting a big friday surprise this week.
 
Yeah sure

what the fuck? there you go! i spoke fluent Swedish asshole (that can happen when u study a language intensively for 4 years and live and work in the country), along with basic Norwegian, Danish and Spanish - don't be so fucking ignorant

i do languages, you do space - you want me to lecture you on space just because i've watched Gravity twice? :lol:

I know, it was just unfortunate timing.

And I'm with you on today/this weekend... between the march tomorrow (you know he wants something to take attention away from that), Congress going away for two weeks at just a horrible time, his lead lawyer suddenly resigning, McMasters resigning...

it just seems like the stage is set for something to to down.

Clearly you missed the point of the last post, "with all due respect."
 
Remember the good ol days when nuclear war wasn't hanging over our heads and there was some people that ran the US government with just the slightest bit of sense?
 
Let’s not rehash an old fight just because nick brought it up, please. And mama cass, cool it with the insults, please.

sure Diemen, but there has been a lot worse than "asshole" and "ignorant" thrown around in this thread
 
can you guys please just drop it ffs like the mods asked? half this page is shit-slinging over something utterly meaningless from months ago.

and 99.9% of interference isn't? :D

i didn't ask to be dragged back into this, and have nothing left to say on the matter
 
I didn't drag you into it. That's all I have left to say on the matter as well.

How about Ben Carson? Anyone starting to question the man's faith? Greedy little shit.
 
I’m sure Carson subscribes to the brand of American Christianism that holds that material wealth is a sign of God’s favor on you.



Along with “infidelity and sex with porn stars and sexual assault are all a-ok when they are in the past because Supreme Court”.

Speaking of which did Trump even bother claiming that he was born again or some such? I mean their entire argument is based on the idea that past acts don’t matter if you repent and come to Jesus but I don’t even think he meets that most basic of requirements. Not even on a pretend basis, like he doesn’t even bother to lie about it and it’s just fine.

American Evangelicals are completely amoral and the one positive of the Trump presidency is that they have been completely exposed as total frauds. Many of us knew this for decades but I feel like they were still given some leeway and deference by the mainstream and the media. Remember when we all had to listen to years of droning about how they hate the sin but not the (gay) sinner though all their political activism showed otherwise. They’ve been thoroughly discredited as a “moral” majority.
 
All these "we're gonna die" posts. Nah, guys. Some brown people in a far-off country are gonna die. So it's all cool.

I can't wait to see that. I watched the Anderson interview last night with Karen McDougal. Didn't get the point of it all, but wow is she beautiful. I think she's still in love with Trump, which boggles the mind.

She said he was always so kind and sweet to her. Weirdest thing that she found attractive about him was his posture. Can't say that's ever been a thing for me (other than hunched over being generally unattractive). To each her own. She thinks he's good looking too. Subjective.

After the first time they had sex he offered her money. He seems to do that with every woman, he must think anyone he has sex with other than his wife is a prostitute.
 
also, the reason why the Russians made a difference is because the Russians are better at this stuff than anyone:

but let's blame Hillary.

https://lithub.com/things-that-are-hillary-clintons-fault-starting-with-harvey-weinstein/

Some choice bits:

Harvey Weinstein is Hillary Clinton’s fault, we have learned from many sources. So is eczema and the Civil War and the fact that your child refuses to learn to tie shoelaces and sticks to Velcro shoes. The hairs and stuff that get caught in the Velcro are also Hillary Clinton’s fault, and she could have passed legislation against them if she cared instead of being uncaring. It is also the soon-to-be-divorced Mrs. Weinstein’s fault that her husband is an alleged rapist, except that it is Hillary Clinton’s fault, except that it is the fault of the victims for choosing to be small, young female victims looking for work at the outset of their cinematic careers instead of being Matt Damon, a choice open to us all.

...
Evidently it is the fault of Hillary Clinton that there is Donald Trump, and it was wrong of her to put Harvey Weinstein’s donation to work on to her attempt to beat Trump and protect reproductive rights and stuff, instead of donating the money to a cause that benefited women, and it’s her fault that a lot of Americans wanted to vote for, as Laurie Penny put it, the Hog-Emperor of Rape Culture who hunted her onstage in the second debate like Sherman going after Atlanta, only with snorting. After all the Civil War was her fault.
 
A shrink could have a field day with why Hillary gets blamed for everything.

More from that article:

If I were a man perhaps I would understand why a man just explained to me that Trump is Clinton’s fault and not be baffled about why no one ever said in my hearing that Bush II was Al Gore’s and then John Kerry’s fault or Ronald Reagan was Jimmy Carter’s fault for that matter.

The work was worth well more than 100k, most of the costs were picked up by the Kremlin who wish to subsidize a thriving hacker and industry in Moscow (like Toronto and HGTV). Walk into any tea room in Moscow and you’ll see dozens of hip millennial Russian hackers sipping artisian teas and downloading Hillary’s emails. It makes for a much more vibrant street culture, even if rents in the more gentrified neighborhoods have gone through the roof.

It’s just good business.
 
Hillary is completely responsible for all the flaws and mistakes in her campaign. And I strongly dislike when she refuses to take responsibility.

But she's not responsible for so many things that people say or imply that she's responsible for. Of course Trump is still bringing her up, that plays to his base I suppose. They can all get together and start chanting lock her up again.
