Wouldn't that be something. Orange Mango exploding everywhere.

He'll replace them with sycophants of his own and the one's that resign will continue to not do anything to stop this madness.

If Trump "ends" the "war" between Cambodia and Thailand again, does he get to count it twice?

Probably. I think things cease to exist in any meaningful way once he's added to his canon of things he believes.
I doubt he even knows where those countries are or has given them a 2nd thought since whatever it was he believes he did.
I bet he looks at all his fictitious golf trophies and believes in his own mind he won them fair and square.
He probably actually believes prices are coming down in the US by now.

 

[DickieKnee]

So why did donny pardon the man who did?

Probably a large crypto coin deposit into Donny's account.

Who hopefully get their asses handed to them in mid terms. One can only hope people aren't going to keep voting for even more fanatical MAGA lunatics with what's going on there now.

How did you end up getting on here, oh good faith purveyor of rational discussion?

How are you going with this one?

Straw man will get back to you in 2 weeks.

 

[Visions]

It would be great if it was with immediate effect. Would really **** the numbers in congress as the Dems would be in charge.

 

[MPMonkeys]

Seriously dude just give it up. The Sealion schtick works with poorly informed people who are easily baited.
You're out of your league here. Try Facebook or another forum where people rage post without engaging their brain or researching anything.

This is a discussion about US politics. It is not the Bay 13 version. If you cannot handle one person who has a different view without resorting to kiddie terms like ‘sealioning’ then perhaps this isn’t the place for you.

There are some grown ups on here. Sadly the minority but still it’s worth persevering.

I replied privately.

You mean like under your breath?

You’re a mod. You should be able to verify it and then you can come back with an apology.

Statistics and economic indicators are all starting to turn red for the Republicans and nothing looks worse than the deficit they've baked into this new financial year.

That's why congress-people are quitting. It's disgrace over what they supposedly joined to do and what they actually have passed. They've bankrupted the country and destroyed its position in the world for some short-term faux benefits.

They're committing Brexit after seeing what an unmitigated disaster that has been.

Ever heard of Manifest Destiny and the Westward push? From what I understand, Yanks had already been illegally migrating to these Mexican territories for decades and beginning to establish their own settlements and towns that defied Mexican laws and followed those from the US such as 'owning' slaves for example.

It's unfortunate that Mexico looked the other way for far too long (with the main government being thousands of miles away in Mexico city) and paid the price for reacting to the threat these illegal aliens posed far too late.

Like the saying goes every accusation is a confession and that's exactly why many Yanks (everyone in the North and South America is an 'American') have a visceral deep hatred of those South (Mexicans and other brown people) of the border because they know how exactly they came into possession of those former Mexican territories (as well as the other Native American territories obviously) and they are terrified the same fate will happen to them in the future.

Mexico could have reacted earlier those illegal aliens but they had been busy fighting a decades long civil war and exhausted as a result of it, as well as the fact that these territories remained sparsely populated (most towns just had a few thousand people living them and others just hundreds) for decades if not centuries so they were relatively easy to take over by a foreign entity that was exploding and bursting at the seams population wise just right next door to the East.

Blaming Mexicans for the Yank expansion is like blaming any other colonial victim for the expansion of the aggressor. If you're pro Palestine for example it would idiotic hypocrisy since neighbouring Muslims were the first to wage war on the Israelis settlers and lost. At least Jews have evidence that they have genetic roots native to the area (Jews have on average around 50% Middle Eastern ancestry) whilst European Yanks have practically no Native American ancestry or at best negligible.

Mexicans on the other hand are overwhelmingly indigenous. Even though some claim Mexicans are 50% European, that is unrealistic (20% to 30% on average is more realistic, some are close to being 100% European whilst other 100% indigenous) as only a relatively small percentage of people (less than 10% from an already modest population) from Iberia migrated to the Americas.

And a large portion of lands that were claimed by Spain and Portugal remained under indigenous control for centuries. In other words large swathes of territories that were claimed by Spain and Portugal were really on paper only as these European countries had almost no real tangible control nor interest of all of Latin America, just the main large cities.

It's only after independence that a large portion of these lands were paid any significant attention and the population in these territories were gradually assimilated in the 1800s onwards by 'mestizos', people of mixed ancestry anywhere from 10% (practically white) to 90% indigenous.

I don’t blame Mexicans for the “Yank invasion”. I blamed the idiot Mexican government for declaring war on the US.

And I think the US was extremely opportunistic.

What happens in the US - is there an election for the new member?

Wrong again - "sealioning" is not even close to a 'kiddie' term. Only someone of below average comprehension skills would call it that.

It is a term that has been relatively recently developed to describe the type of internet posting behaviour that you follow to a tee.

If Brexit is such an unmitigated disaster then why is Farage currently leading the polls?
Note: Understand this could and most probably will change.

Very Mike Johnson of you

You're a bad faith poster. I don't have to do squat except not abuse you.

MAGA has now turned into a saving the western hemisphere project. These guys are nuts.

They resign before midterms . They feel they will get smashed and not be re-elected in mid terms

There are a number like mitch and don bacon who have said the are not standing for reelection

 

[Financialpanther]

Nah, he's more of an Eric Schmitt

What a Schmitt position to take.

 

[BigTacoBandit]

What a Schmitt position to take.

Schmitt for brains?

Farage runs on the usual platform of racism and blaming <others>.

Nothing to do with support for brexit, more likely a lot to do with the failure of brexit.

Some of the trumpers genuinely seem to believe that Trump getting a thing is a win for them personally.

Trump grifting billions? Yep cheer for that whilst you can’t afford your groceries, because at least Trump is sticking it to dem immigrants.
