Lightning Knight posted:I have so many questions I know I will never get real answers to. Operation Red Meat For The Base is such a predictable waste of both funds and manpower. I don't know if I'm cynical enough to actually believe they released so many immigrants in hope of having an immigrant crime wave.

I'm shocked that once again the things that the true experts said would happen did indeed happen. Just can't handle all of this winning. Just another Lone Wolf, who can guess what motivated him? ratbert90 posted:I find it infuriating that the implication that finding “thousands of democrat ballots” is bad because it’s votes for democrats and not bad because “thousands of votes for democrats where lost/suppressed and are now just being found/counted.” "Vote Fraud" has *always* been about people voting the wrong way (oftentimes for Democrats). See also the old canard of 'dead people voting Democratic' that still gets tossed around.

Hellblazer187 posted:Isn't the whole "pay for NATO" thing a complaint that they don't have enough of a military? My understanding is that as a member nation, you have a commitment to spend x% of your GDP on your armed forces. And this is what most members were failing at. So this is... Exactly what Trump was asking for. It is, but Trump has always worded it as them cutting a check to NATO because A) he's an idiot and B) he's an idiot.

Madkal posted:When Donald insulted a gold star family the veil was lifted and surprising absolutely no-one Republicans didn't care. They still shouted "support our troops you unpatriotic traitor" while their leader farted away. You would think Donald not giving a flying gently caress about World War I casualties would be a big deal for them but they only "care about the troops" insomuch as they can shout at other people about "not caring about the troops". They became traitor military as soon as Donald attacked them. It's purely tribal.

Skippy McPants posted:He was expecting all the heat to fall on immigrants, minorities, and other poor people who aren't him. Aging white bigots very much banked on Daddy Trump riding in to save them from the scary brown people and restore (their idea) of the Amercian Dream. It consistently comes as a shock when they're forced to face the fact that he does not give one withered poo poo about them either. The whole "I never expected the leopard to eat my face" line is pretty standard among those types. And then you have the occasional "While the leopard may have eaten my face it also ate those other faces too!" types that still support him.

Also don't the gas prices typically go down around now because of the whole "winter blend" thing?

Mann and Dickerson hoped to get Republican candidates listed under the Green Party on the Nov. 6 ballot to boost GOP chances of victory in last month’s election, Sini said. The Green Party continues to be utter poo poo.

UCS Hellmaker posted:Mainly because it is a red meat to the Appalachian states, Coal is still what people think about as a way to make a living with decent wages in those states, even though that hasn't been the case in a long long time. Coal was a working man job that let you provide for your family and made you basically set till retirement. For those states and areas thats all they had for a long time, as those jobs went away the whole areas that those mines and jobs uplifted fell apart. There is still the dream that those jobs will come back and that everyone will benefit. Coal is also the big middle finger to people concerned about the environment.

revwinnebago posted:What the Putin admin wants is to position itself as being powerful enough to control US elections. If you ever look through the history of the cold war you'll find that it's remarkably cheap to buy influence in the US. The old Soviet Union preferred getting right-wing people as spies because they could often be turned for a bit of money rather than ideology. It doesn't take much for capitalists to sell out.

I want to say that they were claiming the parents were unrelated if they didn't have any documentation proving the kid(s) was theirs. Of course what the appropriate documentation was was up to the border official soooo.... I bet skin color differences were used as one of the determinants.

There were no red hats involved in the video.FoolyCharged posted:Not quite. I mean, cpd is corrupt as hell, but if the attorney is dropping a bad case why is smollett surrendering his bail money? That's functionally donating 10 grand to the people who ran you through the ringer, live on national tv. If he was forced to do so despite a bad case why isnt that fact all over the media? Perhaps that was their 'fee' for releasing him early and not leaving some complaint looming over his head as a 'We could drag you back in for this!'. It's not like the police aren't known for holding people for extended periods without any actual charges against them, especially PoC.
