I hate when you put your Frownland jockstrap on.

Nobody makes "THE BAT" do anything. Don't ever forget that.

Ahh okay. I guess I have nothing more to say to that in depth.

Yeah ki, swing and a miss. You can keep dreaming and think this is all a trolling act but it's based in truth.

Like this. This is a bunch of bull****. Obama should have came out as being really really supportive of the pipeline, then Trump would have done the knee jerk response of closing them down.

Yeah, he's on a streak of just going against everything that Obama was for pretty much.

False.

He's already leaning towards being a dictator by promoting and getting the public riled up about "fake news" so much so that he can end up controlling the media himself. He wants to get his lies straight to the public another reason that he ends up tweeting out so much. He wants to control the information that people hear without the press to challenge him and call him out for the stupid crap that isn't true.

To comment on The Wall talk. The only people that have issues about immigration are people that are afraid of immigrants through what they are being fed from their media of choice. It isn't a real issue in border towns that a wall needs to be built. The only thing they need are a few more cameras than they have. What's already in place is perfectly fine as it. Same thing with the vetting process for Muslims coming in. There is already a system in place but for some reason Trump things the wheel needs to be re-invented so he can take credit for it.

The wall thing kinda reminds me of GoT. Wasn't there a wall thing in that story? To keep out some sorta spooky critters of wishywashy malificent intent?

**** man
I can't differentiate real world events from fictional storybooks. The heat. The burn.

Yeah, a huge magical wall of ice that kept the White Walkers and the Wildlings out of .... you know, you may have something there! :laughing:

Unless he pisses off the wrong Secret Service guy. Maybe a Mexican infiltrator?

Suzan Eraslan posted to FB that "someone on Twitter who has studied oppressive regimes suggested, right after the election, to keep a list of abnormal and worrying events after a demagogue is elected, as a way to remind yourself that this isn't normal and to keep from being overwhelmed into acceptance by the onslaught of attacks on our rights."

She compiled a list and it's gone viral on FB over the past few hours, but here is the live doc on Google Drive which will be continually updated as new events transpire. And all events include a link to the source report.

I would also add Trump's plan to sign The First Amendment Defense Act as an event-to-watch-for, which would prohibit the federal government from taking "discriminatory action" against any business or person that discriminates against LGBTQ people. The act distinctly aims to protect the right of all entities to refuse service to LGBTQ people based on two sets of beliefs: "(1) marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, or (2) sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage." (as reported by NBC News just before year's end).

These people baft me. How the **** can you sit there and claim your religion/beliefs is/are being attacked/persecuted when you go out of your ****ing way to make all these rules and regulations to disavow others and pay good money that COULD in fact be going towards greater causes (oh, you know... ****ing christian things?) instead of getting to choose what two people do in their private ****ing lives?

I'm going to archive the Google Doc to my server and various sneakernet drives each evening. I wouldn't expect Google to kill all access to the live doc, but with this Orwellian administration, I wouldn't chance it.

I'm concerned that you'd make such a sweeping hateful remark about 8 million people, (or, to be fair, 94,234 San Franciscans). Unless the entire LGBTQ populous showed up at your house and took a dump on your porch, you're not in a position to condemn an entire community.
