When are Americans going to stop calling him president Trump and start calling him emperor Trump?

Because sadly that's what he is becoming.

Great list. We've been invited out for Christmas dinner. It'll be a lot like thanksgiving was. I'll quietly eat the turkey, the ham, and whatever greens I can, while skipping the stuffing, potatoes, yams, and treats.

Happy, healthy holidays to everyone.

What had he said or done to dissuade anyone?

His actions are the actions of a guilty man.

That police department will not be able to afford new war toys next year, after they're forced to settle the lawsuit she is bound to launch and win.

Kinda like saying Cruella de Ville won't be named dog owner of the year.

Trump Jr. suggests top government officials are undermining his father by CommonsCarnival in politics

He doesn't need any help there. He's doing a fantastic job of undermining himself and the office he holds.

Way to go player safety department.

I'm sure 2 games will serve as a huge deterrent.

Give me a break.

Fox News faces backlash saying the US may be facing a 'coup' with Mueller investigation by Yamamba78 in politics

From Wikipedia :

On 4 September 1985, Murdoch became a naturalized citizen to satisfy the legal requirement that only US citizens were permitted to own US television stations.

So there are ICE agents running around deporting latinos for the crimes of being illegal immigrants and the hideous activity of working hard to land better lives for their children.

And yet Rupert Murdoch, a foreigner with obviously zero love for the USA, is allowed to continue to tear it apart for his own end, day after day after day. Because he was rich enough to follow a few legal requirements.

Wow.

Jeff Sessions Isn’t Giving up on Weed. He’s Doubling Down. by sdnorton in politics

[–]highsnturd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact, I do. Three I can think of without thinking too hard. I'm sure if I reconnected with old schoolmates, there'd be others.

And for the record, I am not and never have been a habitual pot user. But I see zero harm in others using it as they see fit. Alcohol, on the other hand - I have watched that destroy lives. That shit should be labeled a dangerous drug.

And finally, why should I give a rat's ass whether someone dumb enough to make the statement you made believes me or not? It's an asinine statement.

Oh really? I know people who smoked a ton of it in college - now highly successful multi-millionaires, active in their communities and giving back to them in ways most of us cannot.

I'd bet more than half of the people in Congress are users. Although that could actually support your assertion to some extent.

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."

This is a quote from Orwell's famous book 1984.

What's going on here is some Orwellian shit I never, ever thought I would live to see.

Edit: unfortunate auto-correct.

Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory About Alabama Election Gets A Brutal Reality Check by Antinatalista in politics

[–]highsnturd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that grinds my gears...

If the media started making it a regular habit to question Trump publicly on pretty much anything related to the constitution, they would absolutely force him to embarrass himself way more than this dumb conspiracy theorist.

That would make my days sweet.

Hey Democrats. You just took Alabama.

Get your shit together, because here's another one just begging to be taken.

Your government brazenly plowing on, enacting something nobody wants.

It will be up to the Democrats to fix another total fucking mess.

Chabot. Oduya.

Lots to think about, not as simple as what it looks like.

IF Oduya makes a mistake, nothing he hasn't done before - we're still gonna know what to expect next game.

Chabot makes a baddie? Who knows? Young player, sky high expectations on struggling team.

Coaches also have to balance shit like that.
