I’m looking forward to Pelosi vs Trump. She will pulverize him. Very few can.

What's she going to do? Gum him to death?

Buy a boat big enough to live on, that's my advice. Never know when you might need to get the fuck outta Dodge. I hear Costa Rico is pretty nice this time of year. You're welcome in Swaziland, bring Corona, it's expensive there.
Don't say get the fuck outta Dodge, Lak. That idiom is very racist against Hispanics. As we know, when Dodge moved its polling place 3 miles down the road to a larger and more accessible location, that was voter suppression because hispanic votes are suppressed when they have to travel anywhere new. Thus, it necessarily follows that travelling all the way out of Dodge is disproportionately difficult for persons whose heritage traces back to Spanish speaking countries. QED.

Don't mind Lackey. He and Coito Two are like peas in a pod.
Nah, 42 buttresses his arguments with citations and facts, I'm just a selfish cunt who doesn't care about the less fortunate.
Newsflash: "Peas in a pod" =/= "same".

I repeat: Lackey and Coito Two are like peas in a pod. My boundless respect for the FUA prevents me from going into further detail. :coffee:

Don't worry about that. Economically, China will not overtake the US for another 10 to 15 years. It will take an additional 10 to 15 years for it to get the upper hand militarily. You'll be dead by then.

Again, how is Pelosi a looney? I've asked this before and no one can give me an answer. Every time I've heard her speak it's always been reasonable and sensible. I haven't heard an argument against her which didn't resort to some sexism.
“Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs.” - N. Pelosi.

In 2012, when describing the effect of Obamacare she said: “And everybody will have lower rates,” on premiums. N. Pelosi, Meet the Press.

In 2013, when doing damage control, she said, "I don’t remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium.”

Prior to Obamacare's passage, she said (rather than releasing the text of the proposed bill), “We have to pass the bill for you to find out what’s in it.”

Listen to this: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4713541/ ... eaking-law - she just starts out saying that we shouldn't punish the children of illegal immigrants for the wrongs of their parents (the wrongs being entering the US illegally), and then she proceeds to obsequiously THANK the wrongdoing parents for bringing their children here to the US illegally. So, not only ought kids not be punished for their parents wrongdoing, but also the parents should be THANKED for their own wrongdoing.

All the more reason that Americans should support policies like Trump's, which are aimed at strengthening our military and bolstering our economy (including heavy industry and manufacturing). And he's working to reduce American reliance on China for manufacture of military equipment.

Nanci will do it. She is basically a substitute for Hillary who stood up to Trump well. She was not an old white man so that was the problem.

I don't get how you can keep bullshitting 42. It's remarkable. If what a person says makes them crazy then Trump is batshit. But you'll bend over backward to help him avoid the consequences of his words while taking every opportunity to fault someone like Pelosi for hers.

That's not the part I find remarkable though. What's remarkable is that you insist on doing this around us 24/7, like we don't know any better. What's that about man? What the fuck do you want?

It's obvious Pelosi is crazy because she supports what you don't like, and Trump, despite actually being crazy is good because he supports what you want.

I have a failure of imagination: How does moving further away from center mean they might hit center if they continue moving further from it?

The recent instrumentality of our mental health labels in service to political agendas is of concern - not only on the part of the right though. I think such matters as the labels describe merit serious objective consideration(s) from all, regardless of political perspectives (personal or those of your subculture group) .

Good call on 42's pseudo-gaslighting tactics.
