Eh, if I had the means to give my kids a super easy life I would. Why struggle at any point from birth to death if you don't need to?* Look at the Trump family. Love them or hate them, whatever they did in the last couple of generations worked. They may be retarded, but they won/are winning. *maybe I should mention that I grew up ultra poor and that might be shaping my viewpoints on this. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Jul 10, 2017 |

CommieGIR posted:That's not really a success as its steadily becoming clearer that it was more a power play by someone way smarter and more influential I don't want to get into a huge debate about why Trump won so I'll just summarize my thoughts: Russia didn't win the election for Trump; Trump won the election by being the perfect candidate for 2016. Opportunistic? Lucky? Probably a bit of both, but either way he's got a branch of the government. Barron will never struggle in his life, and Barron's kids will never struggle in their lives, regardless of how much fortune Donald Trump squandered. They won at the game of life, is all I'm saying. Someone hits the lotto it's definitely 100% luck, but you'd still say they won the lotto.

CommieGIR posted:You can't really downplay Russia's involvement when Don Jr. can't even cover his own rear end in saying they were directly feeding them information to sway voters or dissuade them. That doesn't change my overall point though: the Trumps are winning at life from the perspective of several generations worth (including going forward) don't have to struggle for anything, regardless of who helped who get where. Give me a billion dollars and I'm winning at life even if I didn't earn a dime of it. Either way I think the rhetoric doled out by Fox News from 2009 to 2016 did more to benefit Trump in the election than Russia could have ever hoped to. I guess my bigger point is, from the perspective of a Trump, what benefit is there to be anything other than what you are? They still have billions and now they have a branch of the government. Until someone holds them accountable... heh, never mind, nobody will ever do that. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Jul 10, 2017 |

psydude posted:The point isn't whether or not Russia actually ended up helping Trump. It's that unchecked Russian attempts to interfere with the electoral process (along with everything else) is a greater threat to national security than whatever brown boogeymen conservatives can concoct. We are talking past each other. I'm not commenting on the death of democracy or Russia meddling at all. I 100% agree with you, I just 100% wasn't talking about that.

I'm convinced if Buzz Lightyear from Star Command came and said Mr. President, aliens are attacking us, Trump would just throw a rally and talk about building a wall because he can't tell the difference between aliens and aliens.

"You know I got a Purple Heart right? They gave me one. Just like the people gave me this Presidency, that the fake news will tell you I lost the popular vote by 3 million but won't report about Hillary sabotaging Bernie's campaign. But yeah I got a Purple Heart. This was a little bit before I won the largest electoral college victory in the last 20 years." My grammar is way too good to impersonate Trump. Although I feel like if you wanted to get an end of deployment Medal of Honor, this would be the president to get to sign off on it. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jul 10, 2017 |

If we burn it all down then we can't give it up when we default on our debts and need to give up something for repo to other countries, and then we have to give up the parts we didn't want to burn. Just something to think about!

Did something get leaked and he spoke about it or did he just decide to eat his feet unprovoked?

Most of the hardcore Christian right wingers that I served with got out and seem to hate their lives and spend all day on Facebook posting second amendment memes and how antifa are no different than ISIS and how blue lives matter and how black people are the real racists.

I would forfeit my $1200 reimbursement without much issue for the post 9/11 GI bill. I wouldn't have a problem doubling that either. Honestly it's been so worth it that I would've taken a $100 pay cut every month of the five years that I was in if I had to.
