eat poo poo fucker. you let this happen. now loving lay it.

I'm glad I can sleep soundly knowing that Turkey and the Kurds have been left to handle ISIS prisoners after the US abandoned that responsibility. I'm sure they will work together very well, right after Turkey gets done slaughtering the kurds and bombing the prisons containing the prisoners that they are apparently going to then contain.

"...Chris Wallace of Fox, who will never be his father (and my friend), Mike Wallace,...."

Somebody please explain.

It’s weird phrasing but I guess grammatically correct. He’s saying he will never live up to his father’s name.

Mike Wallace was a good journalist I guess. I never watched 60 Minutes.

Lol it's a lovely hack job of the church scene from Kingsman. I was expecting better, but even his fan videos are cheap and ultimately rip-offs of other people's work.

The scene in the movie ends with the character that Trump's head is grafted onto being shot in the head.

Trump started a war and caused the release of a whole bunch of ISIS prisoners for literally no reason. This is in addition to giving up our strategic position in northern Syria and forcing a former ally to reach out to Russia for help against a NATO member.

He is 1000 times worse than Bush.

sooo much wrong with this

1. the people in the church were a hate group and if anything, would be the perfect analogue of trump supporters
2. the main guy gets shot immediately after
3. even though the people he killed were a bunch of racist, bigoted shitheads, the movie still portrayed them getting murdered as a BAD thing!

Did I remember right? Is this Murdoch's chance to take down Trump?

Is this surprising? Welcome to American Capitalism, the next best thing to hereditary nobility

I work with a guy who's wife is decently high up in a fortune 500 company. Pretty much everyone making over 100,000 is either a family friend of the top executives, family of the top executives, or talent scouted out of schools like Yale or Harvard, where you also have to be either rich or family to attend. Truly smart people from the "lower class" are hired in and ground into the dirt until they quit, and are replaced with new grads No matter how hard they try, or how good they are, they are never allowed beyond a certain level. The rich live off the sweat and toil of the lower class.

The rich control everything, and don't want anyone who isn't already rich to enter their atmosphere.

The American Dream is dead and has been for about 40 years.

Not dead. Im an immigrant from poland. My mom, dad, brother all make 200-300k with no college degree with businesses

I earn several million a year. Military and 3 years of college but no degree. This is not a humble brag. But a commentary that within 1st generation of arriving in America. Poor no money. No college degree. Lots of success was had.

The main difference i see between my families success and all my american social circle. Is all my american friends minds are set in a do hours for $ and settle for a very low amount. Low ambition. Living their best life yaaaas. Lots of partying, traveling experiences. New cell phones and cars.

When they do contemplate starting a business its always fun stuff like business is supposed to be fun enjoyable. Their follow through is weak. And shortly theyve given up and back to trading time for low $

The american dream isnt dead. Many people break through into the upper levels at a much higher % than else where in the world

If Trump gets removed it means dozens of Republican Senators voted to remove him, they'd know even if they replace him on the ballot the Republican brand will be toxic for a generation, the only way that happens is if it seems Trump is unhinged enough to start seriously threatening rich white guy's money.

The US refuses any action and Putin's goal of destroying NATO is achieved.

Pages back but the fact that a NATO member is shelling another NATO member is a loving wet dream for Putin that no one prior to 2016 would’ve ever thought possible.
