You know, I was thinking about Carson talking about the Pyramids being used for grain storage. Isn't that what they did in the Civilization games? It'd be hilarious if Carson got his knowledge of ancient wonders of the world from a videogame.

It isn't constant. In the first one it allowed you to adopt any Govt without anarchy.

It's strange how the left considers themselves moral arbiters and protectors of Muslim Americans when people say mean things about them, while their president blows them up because they're on a list and the response is a shrug.

But sure, "right wing bullshit". Just like Syrian refugees are somehow a moral imperative now, but when they actually had homes and a country, no one wanted to commit troops or material.

Was there an actual point to this or is it just random rabble?

How do these motherfuckers keep getting radicalized? You were born in the USA and had a cushy loving govt job. What the gently caress is your problem! You have a wife and kids and live in a god drat gentrified area and get to do whatever the gently caress you want!

How the gently caress do you fall for some imam from good knows where taking you hey how bout killing some folks?

Dude travels to Pakistan, returns and starts an IED factory in his garage. FBI still sticks to line that it's "too early to call terrorism"

Assuming the mall video is legit, I don't see how it can be classified as an act of terror. There could have been many more bodies in a much more public setting.

Mathematically, his chart would seem to imply that planes are guns, so you agree.

I read it as everything that isn't a plane or gun are equal to eachother.

But the contrapositive of that checks out.

Edit:
Take all things, suppose that the set that aren't guns is the same as the set that aren't planes. This implies that what's leftover for both is the same thus guns = planes.

So Trump stood down on Israel? He finally blinked everybody in the field needs to be jumping over each other calling him a pussy and a coward for not willing to stand up for his ideals/ bowing to someones else will.

"I thought you didn't care about what people thought about what you said. It's clear you are too pc to go over to israel and do x"

That is a winning strategy against the shithead.

His intent is to wait until he has use of the armed forces.

It wouldn't be a terrible idea just to download the apps and give them a go.
Looking at people's responses, it's pretty clear most of the people criticizing the platforms have literally never interacted with them before.

Although I have not downloaded AirBnB on my phone, I have noticed the rise of rental prices for the "entertainment" streets in Cleveland go from 900 a month to over 2k a month in the past 2 years. Those locations now offer 150$/night (minimum of 2 nights!) air BnBs and are coincidentally run by the same person.

It's pretty cool to see the yields for airbnbing 2nd properties. Assuming airbnb or some future substitute still exists in the future, I'm definitely up to using them as a landlord. Power of the market.

Also this is late, but people are willing to pay $150 a night to stay in Cleveland? Cleveland?!

There were postings for RNC condos/apartments for 10k+ which are less frequent. That probably means they sold which take up housing until that's over as well. Might as well b&b them.

Comes down more to a complete lack of faith in Hillary Clinton to be anything better than a right-of-center, warmongering, corporate stooge. Hard to tell whether people legitimately don't see it, or if they just don't care and handwave it away by comparison to the outright crazy-bonkers people in the GOP. The "lesser of two evils" schtick just never really did it for me.

Not as much as they should be, considering that the Detroit Free Press just published an article about how state officials lied to the EPA and cherry-picked their test results to avoid showing there was a problem.

God, Snyder and his cronies should burn for this.
