Trump is finally...

No, that's your manipulation and dishonesty.

I stand by what I said there and the point is clear, TDS is the only reason anyone is bent about that.

I know that's your opinion, but your opinion is based on exactly zero evidence (an idiotic meme isn't evidence) since you can't quote a single other president who's made such a comment to a surviving family member since the US was founded.

That’s your opinion. Own it.

Own it? WTF are you on about? I own every opinion of mine?

LOL WTF is wrong with you? I own every opinion of mine. Are you sure you're not thinking of yourself?

Obama never had an economy or low unemployment in 8 years that comes close to what Trump has. Don’t even say it was inherited.

You made the claim the GDP was 'parked" at 1% when trump took office. Complete and utter bull shit. A surprising statement even from you.

Under Trump the quarterly GDP has exceeded 4% exactly once and that well below at least 3 quarters under Obama.

As for unemployment, here are some actual facts.

The chart doesn't show 2019, which is currently 3.6%

All one can say is that Trump has, at best, been able to maintain a trend that started in 2009/2010. Which is a good thing.

Those same voters will just happen to be arranged the same way this time.

Realized you posted idiotic BS?

And the only thing that's different now is all of the potential voters including the ones who did vote are doing better economically than they were before.

Tell that to the farmers losing their farms and businesses closing because of tariffs.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard as an excuse for why you want to continue three years later to bring up the popular vote that they just happen to be arranged in a way that made him be elected by the Electoral College.

At least you recognize that she was being stupid bringing up the popular vote.

They were covert terrorist operations ( USS Cole ) funded by Al-Qaeda.

The Beirut bombing of the marine barracks was a covert suicide terrorist truck bomber allegedly funded by Iran and committed by Hezbollah.

You see; being behind an attack using proxies is not the same as a direct attack by a country.

No shit sherlock.
But of course you're right, no country would ever use proxies again.

I promise I will not reply to his comments again.

Not surprising since you can't seem to present any actual facts about...well, really anything.
All you ever state are opinions which you refuse to own.

Interesting article

War games in the Persian Gulf.

From July 24 through August 15, the since-dismantled Joint Forces Command conducted a $250 million dollar exercise known as Millennial Challenge that pitted the U.S.’ Blue Team led by Army General Lieutenant General Burwell B. Bell III against a Red Team representing an oil-rich Persian Gulf nation, most associated with either Iran or Iraq, but in actuality led by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul Van Riper.

Despite being significantly outgunned by a much more technologically-advanced adversary, Van Riper launched a massive shock cruise missile salvo that overwhelmed the Blue Team’ Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System radars, sinking a significant portion of what was the equivalent to a strike carrier group. He then led a shock guerilla-like assault of fast attack craft that finished off much of what remained using missiles and suicide charges.

As Micah Zenko recounted in his 2015 book Red Team: How to Succeed by Thinking Like the Enemy, Bell admitted that Van Riper’s forces had “sunk my damn navy,” and had inflicted “an extremely high rate of attrition, and a disaster, from which we all learned a great lesson.”

Rather than concede the losses, however, the Pentagon’s control team overseeing the exercise simply chose to bring the fallen back to life and then further artificially constrain the Red Team’s abilities in a way that it could not possibly succeed, a disgruntled Van Riper later recounted in a private e-mail leaked by the Army Times. “Instead of a free-play, two-sided game,” he argued, “it simply became a scripted exercise.”

No it's not.

It's based on the evidence that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is ok when a (D) does it. It's only ever bad when a white guy who hasn't totally backed the ethno-socialist narrative or a (R) does it, extra extra extra so for Trump. Who could cure cancer or really do anything positive, and send the progressives into apoplectic fits by doing so. Nothing gets them more whipped up in a fit of anger than Trump doing something positive or pro-USA.

This goes to a global level.

Right wing white guy plugs 50 Muslims and it's a global fucking crisis on the left.....got numerous countries to shit can free speech over it. Major win for the left.

Communist Chinese Party is exterminating them on an industrial scale? Not a fuckin' peep from the "progressives". It's ok when good comrades do it for the greater good.

The "progressive" outrage machine is beyond hypocritical and lacking self awareness.....that's what the meme gets at.

This meme expresses the same message as the Trump curing cancer meme.

Tell that to the farmers losing their farms and businesses closing because of tariffs.

If they are losing their farms because of tariffs they are bad farmers who were stupid enough to put all their eggs in the gubbmint basket.

Those of us who weren't dumb enough to trust our entire livelihood and wellbeing to that benevolent god state those on the left want micromanaging our businesses are just fine.

You might want to learn a little background on the attacks so you don't make such ill informed statements.
US Intelligence agencies have said Iran Syria were behind both attacks.

Are you now going to say the Russians weren't behind the cyber attacks against US elections in 2016?

Hey ignoramus, I know the facts. The USS Cole was al-qaeda not Iran or Syria.

What does cyber have anything to do with either. This is what you ignorant asshole do, twist thing to deflect from your intellectual inadequacy. I was asking if you think we should attack Russia with conventional forces since they are a nation state, you seem to imply such a foolish move.

There is no doubt as to what the threat is. Carrier task force missile defense is basically unproven and mostly theory with some actual testing. What would happen after is not, the retaliation would be devastating. It would be a standoff long distant retaliation and an attempt to destroy all their nuclear capability would certainly be high valued target sets. Just my humble opinion.

 

[Kantarii]

Oh no, don’t give someone a “humble opinion”. Tell them exactly how you feel. Holding back encourages them to think their opinion is better than yours.

Ok, to actually prove your point, quote a (D) president who told a surviver that their loved one "knew what he was signing up for."
Otherwise you're just spouting rhetoric as "proof."

If they are losing their farms because of tariffs they are bad farmers who were stupid enough to put all their eggs in the gubbmint basket.

They weren't selling their goods to the government. Neither were the manufacturing companies.

So you reduce your argument to the fact that you don't like the particular WORDS that were used?

Demand the specific to disprove the greater behavior pattern....yea that's not going to work.

I highly doubt you or any of the other "progressives" would trash AOC or Omar for openly trashing our dead veterans....oh wait none of them ever did in fact it was quite the opposite with loads of cultural relativism and intersectional victim cards defending it. The only ONLY reason anyone could ever disagree with them is because they aren't white and are strong beautiful women!! Making anyone who does disagree with their policy proposals and hate speech a xenophobic, racist and misogynist. How fuckin' convenient.

It's only bad when a white guy does it, especially Trump.

That comment was no different.

They weren't selling their goods to the government. Neither were the manufacturing companies.

Didn't say they were.

But they knew the markets they were selling to and the subsidies they were getting in order to prop those markets up were all controlled by and subject to the federal government and its relations with the Chinese Communist Party.

If you put all your eggs in one basket, especially THAT particular basket, you're a fuckin' retard.

When they can't actually argue their point they result to ascription and name calling, which is really all Rob can do.

It all comes down to words - sometimes a war of words, but words nonetheless.

They don't have a point to argue. Which is why they slur, deflect, and move the goalposts so much.
