  1. Seeing as how you apparently don't know how to use google. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5462706-rand-paul-intel-socialism/ https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/trump-intel-government-stake-republicans-socialism-rcna226317 https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/-this-is-socialism-joe-calls-out-irony-in-trump-admin-s-push-for-intel-stake-245492293788 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/erick-erickson-donald-trump-socialism_n_68a6cb7ce4b0d184fdf4cd32 Give it a few more hours and I'm sure there will be a lot more. I won't waste any more time responding to you again. You're lucky I even bothered to respond to you the first time. Like trying to talk to a dish cloth. Those are a precious few seconds I will never get back. Never mind the fact I had to listen to the verbal diarrhea coming out of Erick Erickson's pie hole for a few more seconds on top of that.
  2. According to Republicans that is socialism, but only when Democrats do it. Feel free to argue amongst yourselves about it.
  3. Since Republicans decided to call it that, but only when Democrats do it.
  4. I can't imagine how letting these mentally unstable people post here has any net positive benefit to this site. It just makes me want to spend less time around here. For every one click these idiots generate for the site, they probably lose 10 clicks from everyone else. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't see their new topic posts after I add them to my ignore list. This site either doesn't have that feature or they don't want to enable it.
  5. Sadly, getting too easy to point out this "that didn't age well" stuff.
  6. Republicans suddenly love socialism. Almost as if it's another one of their boogeymen they don't really care about except when the other side does it.
  7. Using the highest density seating for long haul is becoming more and more common with all carriers, so get used to it or start paying extra for more premium seats.
  8. I have even started baking in mine. Quite handy in Thailand since a lot of places don't have ovens. Also a good way to avoid heating up the whole house if you do have an oven. I bake oatmeal muffins in those paper muffin sleeves. I can only make 5 or 6 at a time but it only takes 15 minutes, so I don't mind doing 2 or 3 batches. I have also tried making pancakes in them, but that is a little tricky. Still haven't quite gotten the hang of that.
  9. TACO. The convicted felon con-man is playing checkers and everyone else is playing chess.
  10. Buh what about the price of eggs bro?
  11. You can try pry my airfryer from my cold dead hands. I love it more than any appliance I have ever owned. On my second one now and I highly recommend this one. http://amazon.com/Philips-2000-Airfryer-Functions-Technology/dp/B0D8QNH6HK Philips apparently invented airfryers and have patents on it that others can't copy. I don't know how true that is but it's a damn good airfryer imo.
  12. Sadly, it's getting too easy to post this "that didn't age well" stuff.
  13. The wingnut wurlitzer needs boogeymen and MAGAts just eat it up. It's not hard since they all seem to lack critical thinking skills.
  14. Still waiting for Faux News to tell their moron viewers that if Canada were to become the 51st state it would be deep deep blue, with a voting population the size of California. That's probably another 52 congressional seats that will almost all swing Democrat. Not that Canada will ever become a 51st state, but this would be a great way for Dems to troll the right and watch their heads explode when this simple math is pointed out to them. And no, it would not be a territory like Guam or whatever. According to the convicted felon rotting pumpkin idol himself, it would be a full fledged state.
  15. I hope all the other Democrat governors learn from him and start using the same playbook.
  16. My milk went bad. Bloody progressive woke sheeple. Waaa
  17. I've never understood paying a premium for a higher floor. Lower floors are usually quieter because you have buildings blocking more of the noise. When you are up higher you hear everything everywhere. Also requires more time spent in the elevator. As far as enjoying the view. It's like a painting on the wall. No matter how good it is, you don't even notice it after awhile.
  18. @whitehouse account is controlled by people with the emotional intelligence of a 13yo, same as the people who voted for them. And as always....didn't age well.
  19. The craziest thing about this Bolton story is that Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades and publicly admitted to trafficking young women to Epstein out of Mara Lago.
  20. The British take on the rotting pumpkin idol in an ill fitting suit. “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of <deleted>. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a <deleted> was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”
  21. A diseased distillation of everything America swears it isn't but has always been.
  22. I absolutely love my new airfryer. This is my second one. Philips apparently invented the airfryer and has patents on it. I don't know how true that is but I like everything about it. https://www.amazon.com/Philips-2000-Airfryer-Functions-Technology/dp/B0D8QNH6HK
