I can honestly say I don’t care Trump had an affair but this nigga was not using protection? Seriously we don’t need anymore Erics running around.

you’d hit it if he paid you enough.

So Trump likes to be spanked with a magazine with his picture on the cover huh

probably, as long as its ladin with gold.

Just heard about this today. School shooting in maryland. However an armed resource officer on site took charge and ended the incident without anyone but the shooter dying.

Just FYI, a girl that the gunman shot later died after being removed from life support.

Well democrats and Republicans both signed off on the $700 billion in military spending for the year. That’s more than half the budget. I also think the effectiveness of the social programs we offer are debatable, if that’s what you meant by programs that help people succeed. Regardless 1.3 trillion is way too much especially considering the extremely inflated military budget.

At this point its more surprising when he tells the truth.

Post Office works on Sunday due to Amazon. Why does he not know that?

Trump has no idea how anything works

Thanks capt Obvious.

Pretty much all programs should be considered debatable in terms of effectiveness: if we’re not open to criticism and growth we don’t get very far. I’m open to some better plan. My concern is usually when people say that something isn’t highly effective is that their interest is usually in destroying the program that is helping people and pretending like that means that the problem just goes away.

I feel like the lying definitely won’t end when Trump leaves office: that will just be the inspiration for a new round of lies and/or slogans from the foreign meme factories intended to bamboozle the intellectually and/or educationally challenged.

The wall started well before Obama. At least during the Clinton presidency and perhaps before that. Obama was supposed to finish the wall but quit halfway. Some parts look like an actual wall, other parts are nothing more than a few posts in the ground.

Many of these entitlement programs are cancerous in nature. Incentifying people to not get married, to effectively replace the “man” in the relationship with the government. Then act surprised when the government fails to provide like a wanted husband could have thus forcing the single mom to rely on the government entitlements even more. While ignoring all of the FBI studies that show that children raised in a single parent home almost never end well.

So why would we want to replace this cancerous program with another cancerous program? Get the government out of raising single mother children and get the fathers back where they belong.

But I forget," she don’t need no man". Then goes on to teach her sons and daughters to hate men, hate their biological fathers. As she ruins their potential career growth by limiting their opportunities by staying a single mom.

uh yeah, jingoism may have worked back when the US was using muskets and the atlantic ocean as a buffer to fight the british. however, i don’t see jingoism winning against tanks and jets even if every flat earther cleaned out the gun department at walmart.

speaking of guns and gun nuts. it interesting how they’re conflating gun control with an attack on the second amendment and becoming so unhinged. they’re attacking high schoolers over college admissions.

the evangelical right has gone full retard again. remember how they compared roy moore perversions to mary and joseph as a biblical defense? well, trump’s spiritual shortcomings is being compared to king david.

lol…apparently, they’re so delusional. they still think trump is draining the swamp.
anyway, here’s another hilarious article where you watch some evangelical conservatives contort themselves into pretzels trying to explain why trump is a good, christian role model.

i like how he suggested that he should get a line item veto and the military should pay for the wall. apparently, he doesn’t know that in this plane of reality. 1) a line item veto has been ruled to be unconstitutional. 2) congress controls the purse strings. if congress decides not to appropriate the money for the wall. the military can’t appropriate it either.

lol…cult 45 is removing posts and banning people who aren’t saying “4d chess” to explain trump’s inexplicable behavior. according to the WSJ, trump was going to veto it, but when told he would catch heat for shutting down the government and would have to cancel his weekend trip to mar-a-lago because of the optics. trump said “fuck that!” and signed the bill.

anyway, i think it’s funny how he blames the democrats for his obvious fuck-up, but even conservative press isn’t buying it and ripping his ass. it’s also hilarious how trump got almost no GOP domestic priorities outside of defense spending. lol…get finessed and still sign the bill, brehs.

what did these people expect? honesty and competency? lol…i sure hope so.

what’s the old saying about sausages and legislation. what did you think was going to happen when every expert was saying the legislative calender was going to be tight because of the decisions trump and the gop were making?

government fiscal years run from October 1 and ends on September 30. this spending bill should have been done last year, but trump and the gop spend most of their negotiating time trying to repeal obamacare and pass their tax cut. the government was being funded by CR while congress shitted out this bill in weeks instead of months. still, it’s funny to watch the so-called “deficit hawks” complain when they created the problem in the first place.

trump and the defense hawks in the gop wanted the largest increase in military spending in 15 years not the democracts. ultimately, trump got rolled by the democrats because he had no leverage despite being in control of government because he and the gop didn’t do the normal spending process and blew through all the deadlines last year. thus, trump approved a 1.4 trillion deficit financed tax cut to gop donors and stuck a 1.3 trillion deficit financed spending bill, which only lasts until September 30, on top of it. lol…trump stans think mr-i-make-all-the-best-deals is actually good at making deals. but hey, at least he wasn’t lying about being the “king of debt”.

But you see he’s adding to the debt therefore putting the us in more debt. Eventually the us can claim bankruptcy and be handed a clean slate right?

Trump can just demolish and never pay his debts because.

How strange, I found my reply while randomly listening to this particular episode.

(45m40s)

Ben Shapiro: Nathaniel says,

“Ben, regarding the Second Amendment, I find it concerning that US citizens aren’t allowed more freedom in their choice of guns for protection. For example: How can well-armed militia defend its nation against a tyrannical government that used Weapons of Mass Destruction if the citizens only have ARs?”

Ben Shapiro: So this is a question that’s very often asked by the left saying,

“Well if you say that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to protect against governent tyranny, shouldn’t everybody have a tank?, shouldn’t everybody have a F-16?, shouldn’t everybody have a gun?”

Ben Shapiro: No, okay. The idea here is that you need the weaponry that is sufficient to deter goverment tyranny. And if it came down to it, by the way, smally arms are a capable deterent against even the most major weaponry becasue if the the United States goverment has to legitimately nuke the state of Texas, that war is never happening, it’s just not happening. So, there’s that. Also, the militia - the Texas State National Guard, I believe probably would have access to nuclear weapons, so there’s that as well.

But, as far as private ownership of firearms, the point of private ownership of firearms is to deter potential conflicts, just like the point of having nuclear arsenals that you never have to use it.

“…shouldn’t everybody have a gun?”

My fucking god. Seriously this is a thing going around called the Storm that started on 4/8 chan lol. Seriously at this point I can say I don’t hate Trump that much but more so his followers as they should all seek immediate mental health treatment.

Don’t be surprised if Trump tweets credit for this imaginary crap tomorrow. Just read the comments and its all but normal that the mentally challenged just eat it up so he might as well go with it.

Trump has nominated Peter C. Wright to help lead the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Land and Emergency Management—the office that oversees the Superfund hazardous waste cleanup program. Peter C. Wright is a lawyer who has spent his entire career helping Monsanto and Dow avoid cleaning up their toxic pollution.
