    You were telling us this very same thing during the "Occupy" espsode five years ago... Looks like maybe they are not dying off nearly as fast as you would like.

    Oh...and BTW...people do get older every day and as they do there is a tendency to become more "conservative" once they have dealt with the realities of life for a few decades.... although there does not seem to be much hope for you....

    Are you going post more pictures with silly captions...thats strong libtard stuff......

    You are correct (as we know) that the cities have these things you note. Cities are also more international.

    As for an "idea" that "rual non-urban America needs protection" it's not that IMO, but the differences in beliefs between Urban and rural.

    It exists in other countries as well (and LOS can be noted).

    Rhetoric on both sides. Not just Trump.

    IMO I already won. Even if he does zero, is a lame duck and changes nothing, its no worse than Obama and the Constitution is safe.

    Upper Crust blocked from going full lefty. That shit is very important.

    Hope they can bring down the cost of obamacare. 2015, platinum, $730 a month for just myself as a 33 year old american male with a good job offshore. Before obamacare it was $250 private.

    2A is safe for now.

    Immigration, hopefully they do SOMETHING but doing zero is no worse than what we have now and a path to citizenship is blocked.

    Plenty of good still there even if he does absolutely nothing.

    So there is nothing you think he will achieve.

I understand middle school level american history and I don't need liberal opinion pieces to spin doctor the truth.

    3/5ths compromise was just that, a compromise

    The tactics and strategies involved in winning as popular vote election are entirely different to winning in your ec system. Trump didn't set the rules, clinton and Obama never tried to change the ec, so stop being pathetic little bitches and accept you lost fair and square.

    There is nothing to say that trump could not have won the popular vote, if that had been the framework.

    It's like an football team claiming victory because they had more shots at goal despite losing 10 - 0.

    Sad.

    Trump won you deluded nincompoops. He spanked clunkton like a little bitch. She was humiliated. Just the way it is.

    Yes it happens. Not unusual. I would not change your posting style mate the admin will let a fair bit go. SC has a set of rules they are loosely enforced. Hard to say where they finally draw the line as they are ghosts...

    Or Just one chap me thinks. Fancies himself as wizard of oz. Just do not repost deleted links or content. That really pisses him off.

    Pages and pages of back and forth about the E.C.
    It's the Trump thread.
    I suppose if you want to discuss the E.C. you could start a separate thread.

    President-elect Donald Trump said it's time for the US to "move on to bigger and better things" following the sanctions announced by President Barack Obama Thursday against Russia, but said he'd be briefed next week about the issue.

    "It's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things. Nevertheless, in the interest of our country and its great people, I will meet with leaders of the intelligence community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation," Trump said in a statement.

    Getting "the facts of this situation". Prolly not a bad idea Don.

    The Delicate Snowflakes On The Right Faint Over Charlie Sheen's Anti-Trump Tweet

    Wait, I thought the right hated political correctness?

    This has sent the right into a frenzy with people calling for Sheen to be arrested or killed. Others settled for calling him a "useless cockroach" and "a truly evil soul." Still others are shocked, shocked, that anyone could be so disrespectful to the president-elect. What kind of country are we living in?! Charlie Sheen is a terrible person and shouldn't say such things!

    In other words, the same people who spent 18 months screeching about how much they despised "political correctness" are now insisting on...political correctness. Even more laughable, the same people that spent 8 years hurling vile insults at Obama are scandalized that people are doing the same thing to their guy. They literally prayed for Obama to die but are now deeply offended by the behavior they normalized. This is not to say that Charlie Sheen should be applauded for calling for Trump to die but let's not pretend he crossed some kind of line. This is the world the right longed for.

    It was clear from the beginning that the right's war on "political correctness" was actually a desire to be hateful in public. They wanted to call homosexuals "f*gs" and black people "n*ggers" without consequences. They still haven't quite figured out that electing a bigot to the presidency doesn't actually make bigotry acceptable to the overwhelming majority of the American people. They'll get the message soon enough.

    In the meantime, the right is clutching its pearls over their own obnoxious behavior being reflected back at them. They seem confused that the time and effort they spent denigrating and undermining the office of the President of the United States has achieved the desired result. After all, if we weren't supposed to respect an intelligent, professional, highly accomplished and scandal-free president like Obama, why in the world would we respect the a corrupt sexual predator and buffoon like Trump?

    Like so much of the damage done to the foundations of American political institutions and norms, conservatives built that. Or, rather, they dismantled it during their mad grab for power at any costs. Republicans salted the earth as they waged war against decency and tradition and their voters cheered them on. Now they're surrounded by smoking ruins, wondering why an angry public isn't cheering their (illegitimate) victory.

    Since Trump "won", his supporters have taken to calling us "snowflakes" for being outraged over what is essentially a stolen election. But they've turned out to be the most delicate snowflakes of all, wilting under the slightest insult or criticism. It's almost as if they have a sense of what a monumental disaster Trump is going to be and they're already trying to stifle the coming (and well-earned) tsunami of blame and anger that's coming their way.

    Good luck with that.

    Yes I'm sure. Why would I want my posts removed? Many of them this AM are mine. As I said to Earl, I made one post yesterday morning and after that I was on the road all day and didn't pay any attention to the thread. When I looked at it in the evening the thread had been censored. I have no idea what was even removed that was added yesterday.

    You Ameristanis have your first President who not only accepts the aid of a Russian dictator to get in office, but actively appoints said Russian dictator's friends to American cabinet positions and quotes the dictator in a positive light.

    America is being sold to the KGB by Donald Trump. Accept it. Orwell's 1984, and Animal Farm, and all the other stuff indicating UK would become a pawn of the Soviets -- All wrong. It's America that sold their freedoms to the highest bidder.

    That he sides with the president of a possibly hostile and certainly competing foreign power over the president of his own country, who is his very own predecessor, along with 17 of his own country's intelligence agencies who are his most trusted advisors on the most important issues and have swathes of evidence corroborating the fact that he is utterly incorrect tells you everything you need to know about his aptitude for the office and his judgement.

    Ha. Ha. Ha. Fun times.
