Florida is the third most populated state after California and Texas and has a population equivalent to Finland, Norway, and Sweden combined. Florida's open records law also makes it easy for journalists to find weirdness.

It's this.

Also, Florida is a swamp so it has to import most of the things you need to function economically.

Including people.

Since most people don't want to live in a hot, humid swamp, you get either the desperate or stupid. Florida imports its terrible and is very, very good at it.

So why did he sign it, then.

Because he couldn't block it.

Congress isn't going into an actual recess. Something they decided in January because they don't want Trump making recess appointments (its the same rule they used to stop Obama from making appointments). So if he doesn't sign it, it becomes law anyway on August 8th. If they went into an actual recess then it dies under pocket veto laws. If they are in session then the President has 10 days minus Sundays or it automatically becomes law. He signed it now to just take the poo poo storm while there are enough problems to minimize the impact. This would dominate headlines for a week normally. But at the moment its a page 2 story in the states.

the two party system needs to die but i don't know how to kill it or if it would create a post-Iraq invasion power vacuum and birth the government version of ISIS or some poo poo

The only way to kill a two party system is to have one of the parties to melt down into waring factions. We almost had it happen with the Republicans when the Tea Party showed up. But Michale Steele and Reince Priebus caved to some of the less stupid ideas to bring them back under the umbrella and then watched as anyone with a spine caved more.

The Democrats on the other hand are going to shoot themselves in the face. Which will cause multiple groups to rise up and tell them to get hosed.

So its in the process of happening. Watch for waves of independents running on fiscally conservative/socially liberal policies, causing the DNC to bitch about Bernie Bros ruining their chances of winning because they are loving retarded and can't understand that its not the Progressives that are torpedoing most their seats.

We keep moving the goal posts, years ago North Korea revealed their capability with nuclear weapons, they're now showing that they can threaten the mainland US with them. Regionally they've been a credible threat for years.

Just because something is in range doesn't mean you will hit it. Detonates in launch sequence/ burns up in reentry/someone can't aim for poo poo and it lands in the middle of the Pacific/hits Oakland.

Like I said, how many of them take out something of value.

Can a president unilaterally order a nuclear strike or is there a two-man rule in place? IE: Trump gets mad at lil Kim, decides to cleanse Pyongyang, can he just ask for the football and launch? Or does he have to get someone else in his cabinet to agree as well? If so, whats to stop him from just going down the list until he gets a yes?

If I remember correctly, its technically his call. But lets get real, there are enough adults in the administration and DoD that he can scream all he wants, they aren't launching poo poo unless US personnel or property is hit first.


To be honest. I really don't think this is anything worth making GBS threads ourselves over. Kim Jong whatthefuckeveroneweareonnow is just doing the same saber rattling North Korea has been doing since the 50s and now we have an idiot who is yelling back.

The whole "antifa is worse than Nazis" thing comes largely from Eastern Europe where a handful of terrorist groups claim to be part of the antifa community. Back in I believe the 40s all the way through the collapse of the Soviet Union they were the IRA of their areas, only they didn't care who they killed and went after anyone who didn't agree with their methods. Its not much of a thing anymore but some of the groups supposedly still exist and hide in the European antifa community.


Anyone using it in the states is legit retarded. Because literally no antifa groups here have the stomach for violence that the black flag terror groups in East Europe used to earn that badge.

The rest of society is realizing that these small but excessively vocal groups need to be forced back into their little holes. The only way you do that is through violence and destroying their false idols.

It's less bandwagon, more "holy poo poo these idiots are actually serious, we need to do something". Society originally was going to treat them like a screaming two year old and just wait for them to pass out. But that's not working and it's time to muzzle them.

I would completely believe trump had sex with ivanka when she was under age.

Guess what: he would still bottom out at low 30s/high 20s approval.

Rick Wilson talked about the polls and the way they work that the lowest floor possible for any president was in the low 20s. Like. No matter what they do, any president will always have 1/5th of the country's support.

He also went on to explain that the over all poll is less important than the party poll. Which still has Trump north of 75%. Once that starts to free fall, then a President becomes a liability and needs to be jettisoned.

Which means unless House and Senate republicans suddenly grow a moral compass, even a tape of him loving his under age daughter won't matter. Because he isn't going below 75% regardless of what he does.
