You know why he had to do those Orders? He was too busy trying to be Bi-partisan during the first two years and when that didn't work. They forced his hand to do those orders to get certain things done.

Alex Jones gets all his information from VERY reputable sources...

in the new Joe Rogan podcast he talks about the psychic vampires and the interdimensional communication from the Elite to drain the energy from our youth

... no seriously.

At one simplistic level, good governing is like good parenting. Like the law about wearing a crash helmet on a motorbike; a sunny day on an empty road and you may not want to do it, but you know it makes sense.

^ At last someone has mentioned this clear-cut example of terrible parenting."Let's forget about long-term irreversible harm to the environment of the whole planet. Let's sacrifice that for the short term benefit of the USA."
That's an approach typically taken by commercial companies clamouring for profits, which is why they should be regulated by a government that sees a bigger picture. Unfortunately, Trump is parenting on the Homer Simpson model, "Sure Bart, eat all the candy you want and no need to brush your teeth afterwards. Dental decay is just a scam cooked up by scientists, like global warming."

I think pro-fossil Trump with his scorn for alternative fuels is going to be more damaging, long-term, than his clumsy meddling with the immigration rules.

I didn't get the Batman reference at first. Then I found this...

Batman created so many YouTubers that day.

Why exactly is Sam Harris such a pos? I haven't seen much from him, but he seems pretty reasonable from what I have.

Those two Bill Maher clips are the only videos I've seen from him. Can't say I disagree with anything he said in either one.

He wouldn't bother you if you agree with his views on Islams and Muslims in general.

Whenever him and Bill get together they always get under my skin with inaccurate **** that they say. The worse part is like it's not like they don't talk to Muslims where they can find out accurate information it's just that they like to stay willfully ignorant about certain things.

Here's a specific example, when the topic of the Burqa came up. Their minds are only wrapped around women being forced to wear them and not the fact that the women willingly want to wear them.

Also when they decided to bring up the fact that radical Muslims aren't fringe just because it is such a large number. They are still fringe in comparison to the billion of Muslims around the way. So what if they have a fringe army. When you have billions of people practicing one religion a fringe group of radicals can be larger.

Translation: all white women have internalized misogyny, but all brown women don't.

DJ i think you're the one being ignorant on the topic... the point is that no culture or belief system should force an individual to act or dress a certain way because of their sex. it's not about whether they want to, it's about them being forced to.

Sure. But if they want to wear it, let them wear it. Forcing them not to wear it is the same thing as forcing them to wear it. You can't change some people. The work should go towards changing the law not changing the people. The women who get attacked for wearing their burqa or hijab are victims of a hate crime no matter how the assh*le attacking them feels about the laws. Violence is violence. It solves nothing.

i never said otherwise.

I honestly wasn't sure.

i dont think DJ was necessarily saying they shouldnt have a say either. just a tough issue all around because obviously there's no good in going from one extreme to the other.

Donald Trump Is Signing Executive Orders That He Doesn't Read or Understand | GQ

I uhhhhhhhhh. I know this isn't a hard news article but wow.

Yeah.

Not sure how that happened.

OMG four more years of this and I'll have forgotten what it feels like for the gaping maw within my soul to have consumed my ability to laugh.

The Politico article cited in that Jack Moore article would be so much better if they didn't mix unsubstantiated silliness in by making up a "person" who they talked to about what Trump does in the White House. It's obvious they didn't talk to anyone and created "a person close to Trump" to insert their own narrative. Trump's administration has a lot of real problems, so why not talk to real people who you can quote by name?

What the **** is your sig, bitch? I will not be misquoted without monetary compensation!

You said it in a parallel universe where Gary Johnson won the presidency. :)

If you watched the video i posted its briefly covered from 6-8minute mark and Sam Harris doesnt seem to disagree. Bill Maher says its not normal and comes off kinda douchey, but neither say they should be forced to dressed "normally".

Im not gonna go off on a tyrade about it but any system/religion/ideaology that tells you what to think instead of teaching you how to think is the enemy of progression and worth criticizing. (Im sure im paraphrasing Dawkins with this but i cant give you a direct quote).

He is pretty dreamy.

I read a Sam Harris book back in the day, but that's pretty much the extent of my Serious Atheist Research. I like arguing that **** on occasion, but **** me I don't understand why so many atheists care so much about this ****. God doesn't exist, fantastic, stupendous, moving on.

I really don't care about personas in a logical discussion. The point seems logical to me, I'd love to hear a persuasive contradictory position.

However, it's important to remember that there is a fine line between the two and that the former can be disguised as the latter.

Speaking of which, this month's cheque may be a few days late...
:shycouch:

Edit: Oh you said misquoted! In that case, can I have my money back please?

FUCK EVERYTHING.

I'm so f*cking pissed off right now it's not even funny. This is the single worst decision since election night. There have been more reckless decisions such as Bannon but this right here is without a doubt one of the most corrupted money hungry f*cking evil goddamn worst decisions I've ever seen. Spineless f*cking John McCain and Rand Paul. F*ck you two forever. You chickensh*ts.

FUCK

I can't ****ing believe this actually happened. What the fuck. I'M FUCKING IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW

The fact that in a matter of months we've gone from Obama to THIS SHIT is seriously fucking depressing. How ****ing DENSE ARE THESE REPUBLICAN MOTHERFUCKERS

Nobody answer that. :mad:

Very smart move for the Republicans, our public education system is too effective as it is and that's a threat to the future of the GOP.

+1 trillion

we've all been Trumped

Yes.

If you compare their attitudes and actions like most people who believe that statement instead of zeroing in on policy differences then it's a pretty solid point imo.

No. Not even close. There's a vast difference between the two.

There's a D & R revolution.

on the surface sure, but when it comes to their actions and their presidencies? not so much.
