As long as the gears of the bureaucracy turn in a way that even slightly helps those groups republicans will be there to shriek and cry over it.

When republicans say "big government", what they mean is very specifically "programs that help disadvantaged people" and "agencies that create/enforce safety or worker rights regulations". Your loyal representative (R) isn't "big government", military and police aren't "big government", any laws created by Republican legislatures aren't "big government". The government could triple its activity and money flow and still be "smaller", as long as all of it went into funding people with guns keeping poor people and foreign countries from acting up. (This is like, high-school level cynicism I'm expressing, but I think it answers this particular question.) EDIT: beaten Ditocoaf fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Dec 28, 2017 |

I guess we should all be grateful that he spared us a litter of piglets at her feet.

It's THEIR big government, and that's "good". 1: Where's the joke? 2: Why are his "jokes" about rape being published on the funny pages? Because seriously how does the editor of whatever papers he shows up in allows that by? The "Woman Scorned" joke shoulda been killed and buried years ago.

Theory B: - The view angle change slightly from one frame to the next, is not possible anymore to see the part of the kitchen she was using, and our perception of deep is tricked by the stylized drawing. (nothing is out of focus, everything is on foreground). Theory C: - This cabin is something out of some Clifford D. Simak novel, where each room is physically in a different planet, and every few minutes rotate to a different similar room in a different planet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_Station_(novel) (not this one, but another similar one)

And he built a crooked house... World Famous W posted:I would happily give the few hundreds bucks back to have a stable, sane, caring government. Unfortunately, that ain't an option so ill take the money to buy drugs, 'aight? Between my fiance and I we're prepped to pull in several grand, all of which will disappear into our savings and investments without being noticed. This befuddles my parents for some reason, and is why they still can't grasp why replacing income taxes with only sales taxes would be such a monumentally bad idea.

It's simpler than that. Under Obama, ISIS was out of control. Under Trump, ISIS is defeated. Just like how under Obama, the economy was struggling and nobody had a job, but under Trump, the economy is booming.

I read they also went on strike once for higher wine rations and more make-up (Make-up was used to protect from the sun) They even had state of the art healthcare. The pyramids were partially a socialist welfare project to give farmers paid work to do outside of the growing seasons.
