  1. Here's my tinfoil hat take on this bomber. He's a result of the FBI,  he'd been egg'd on and pushed by an agent into acting so that he could be intercepted. I think the FBI does this kind of thing regularly, trying to infiltrate groups or locate weirdos to push them forward and get them to do something they wouldn't otherwise do. 

     

    Another thing to note is that almost all of the people targeted have security details that check incoming mail. Didn't some of them get into the offices buildings where the person was? This whole event looks rotten.

    And just so to prove we aren't a complete conservative circle jerk here at SH, here is the stupidest political column that I've read in a week.

    Price Gouging During Disasters Is Actually a Good Thing

    You have to be actually, mentally handy capped to buy into that bullshit! It a jobs program for idiot lefty professors. 

     

    It's a combination of sounding good on the surface (and not being allowed to think deeply into it) and peer pressure. A LOT of peer pressure. They unironically believe that intersectionality is individualistic because instead of one or two identities you are constrained by, it's a dozen!

    Awesome, back from the hike, and home to news of the Republicans great victory!

    The funniest thing is that this shouldn't have been a "great victory" for the Republicans. It should have just been a matter of course that you can leverage with your already activated base. Instead they somehow turned the political high ground into their own fucking Cannae. Absolute morons. They weren't going to win this battle but they fought it anyway and did irreparable damage to themselves this midterm.

    Kavenaugh is confirmed, time to crack a cold one for Kavenaugh.

    I don't know how the hell you fuck up as bad as the Democrats here. Not only did you lose the justice seat you almost certainly weren't getting anyway, but you screwed up your voter enthusiasm gap. You know, that enthusiasm you've been trying to maintain by keeping your base in hysterics for two years? You absolute fools. You incompetent dumbfucks. What the hell is wrong with you?

     

    Also Feinstein you need to follow Hillary right on out the door if you want the Dems to have a chance in the future. What are you doing. Hiding this stupid allegation for months only to spring it late. You idiot.

    Perjury would have been the cleanest method here. If the left could have caught him on any tiny perjury count, they would block the nomination. The right could stick a finger to Trump safely. And everything would have been fine. 

     

    But they couldn't even make that stick. So they went for an emotional attack. 

     

    On all levels except physical, the Democrats are retarded.

  7. See I don't even doubt that he's intelligent. Just that a part of his personality is to be audacious and make people like him. I get how that can make someone come across as not intelligent compared to the archetype of the stoic laconic personality. I had an uncle who was a pretty big businessman, left my aunt millions and had stuff from meeting...I think it was either Ford or Nixon. In any case one thing that my dad always told me about him was that part of the reason he was soo successful negotiating is that he always made the other party feel like they got one over on him. He could be practically robbing the other guy blind but that guy would still think that boy howdy he was the winner in that one! I see that all over the place with Trump. If you think he's just a buffoon who needs handlers, I think you're just falling into his strategy of interaction.

    Oh yeah, anyone who admires, or even likes, a politician, is a person who does not understand, they, by going into the profession, are and probably always was an asshole, and most are pretty stupid. Much like most people in the media, both are places that have no real standards, and being smooth and good looking pays well.  They should not be trusted and should be verbally beaten and abused until they only do their voters biding, and the ones that put the others sides voters above the people who elected them, like Flake, must be purged because they are the lowest of the low. 

     

     

     

     

    At the very extreme least, narcissistic. You have to have a pretty high view of yourself to think you're a savior just like you would if you were a swindler.

    She will be a folk hero to the left, she will now get speaking events and get to go to all the fundraisers, and I heard she had four Gofundme and she was near a million bucks last week.   Her story has changed, she lied about her background, and the prosecutor says she has a weaker than normal 'he said she said' case with holes in it, yet they still call her credible. The same people who call her a hero, tougher than a Marine,  call the judge and rapist drunk with zero evidence. In fact, they are smearing a man, whose only crime seems to be liking beer, while a teen.

     

     

    As we have seen though, the left doesn't care about the truth, fairness, the US Voters, rules, or decency, they hate Trump, and they are going to stop him and his agenda.  The people who say both sides are the problem are stupid, the Right is still willing to talk and work with the other side, and is not calling them rapist and racists when they don't get there way. Things are so bad, there is talk that we are going to shoot each other coming from all sides now. Only one side is interested in fairness and the truth and they other has adopted the by any means necessary strategy.  

     

    The greatest irony of the whole thing is, Trump has done none of the shit they said he would, he has done a pretty good job if you look at it with an objective eye, and the proof is the Economy is ticking along better than it has in decades, by just about any measure, that is if your not a mindless anti Trump drone with no ability to reason and no desire to anyway. These assholes, who cry about how oppressed they are while living in the US, might actually destroy it all with their bullshit. 

     

     

     

    Remember, fake news was coined by the cable networks (I think it was even CNN) and it only became a naughty term when used on them. 

     

    This is the power of societies leash holders. There's too much trust in curated news. Not a shred of ability to research and deduce. I also fail to see anything particularly bad with Trump besides he likes to shit post on the twatters but I've already made my opinion on how we shouldn't hold elected officials on a social pedestal clear.

    My roomie is a political junkie. He couldn't sleep last night and read the entire agreement.

     

    Bascially, it's the same damned agreement, with some technical updates, some caving in on some corporatist IP issues that most people won't give a shit about or everyone will be equally pissed off with, and Y'all get 3.59% of the dairy market, which will almost certainlly go to expensive cheeses.  We'll be able to get artisianal hispter US cheese here now. 

     

    Oh and they updated the amount that you can ship on an online order from the US from $50 to $150 before duty kicks in.

     

    The most relevant seeming update there was requiring a high minimum wage for auto factory jobs, I wonder how difficult it would be for those companies to skirt that.

    "(Chapter 11, however, will be phased out between the U.S. and Canada, Trump officials said. This chapter, which outlines the investor-state dispute settlement, allowed corporations to sue governments at special tribunals for interfering in their business.)"

     

    Somewhat concerned that this sounds like it remains for US-Mexico. It's used to allow Mexican trucks to only be to Mexican standard when using US roads. Given that I live off the biggest US-Mexico trade corridor and have seen these gigantic beaters first hand, I'm not favorable to that.
