Random Politics & Religion #19

You are forgetting one thing: The GOP isn't going to make the same mistakes as the liberals/democrats are doing right now. They will (begrudgingly) support Trump because they know that, due to the wave of populism that Trump is riding, if they were to even hint at impeaching him, they would lose their jobs very quickly.

They also are trying to portray the message of unity, and impeaching your own party, unity does that not make.

No, I think that there won't be any changes in presidents unless assassination occurs, and we already know that people are already open about it.

Is it worth going for the obvious joke here?

I thought he was going to climax with Putin first.

Unless they all climax with each other (and WWIII starts, or WWIII: The Climax)

This is partisan bs.

But this gets attributed to Obama because for some he was weak in foreign policy and not strong on Putin. Opposed to the other view that he was trying to repair the US's reputation globally and was in precarious position of validating the negative perception that we trying to rid ourselves of.

Putin is a smart cookie and gambled successfully with respect to the situation in the Crimea and even Syria.

Maybe, but it worked.

Or is it the right thread?

Josiah is the Ralph Wiggum P&R desperately needs.

If only it was a Canadian flag.

If this doesn't work out Donny could always be Prime Minister of Canada...

If that doesn't work there is always openings at Barney's Bowl o Rama !

And Rooks sad the bar was set low this is gold !

Sorry, I kinda word pasta'd, smoked a cigarette, and then passed out face down in the pillow.

I don't know really. I'm not used to hearing what exactly the president is talking about with world leaders, or at the very least, it never jumped out at me before. I think the fear that Saeval implies is more about Trump's nature in regards to being a wild card who is patriotic at heart. Of course, there's obviously not too much fear, cause I mean, didn't the president of Mexico basically tell Trump to *** off several times? xD I'd label it concern, cause having someone like Trump in office is a big deal, since he's got the power to do stuff with our military. Like you wouldn't want to piss this guy off, because what would he do?

But on the other hand, he advocates for peace and better ties with Russia, which I like. I'm truly hopeful that the media is overplaying kremlin ties and that he isn't somehow involved in some sorta scandal, and that his stance towards Russia is about keeping peace.

Suspect in North Korea killing 'thought she was taking part in TV prank'


lol wild

Well you know, there is that saying:

"The road to hell is paved with the best intentions"

I think when it's all said and done, that phrase will come up often.

The road to P n R is paved with incoherent ramblings and Simpsons gifs !.... not as catchy !

We can on occasion have dialogue but it always gets bogged down with in fight and personal name calling just like Congress

I think the problem with most people here and in real life is people take politics personally when it is better seen as an abstract idea.

Did you miss the ENTIRE Republican primary? The Republicans didn't want him, he is neither conservative enough nor part of their club. At best he is a source of wealth and connections for the political elite. There is no great evil plan by your sworn enemies to rule the world. The Republicans lost to Trump same as the Democrats, the Republicans just gave the grace to realize it.

Trump has followed the law, the exact letter of it. If your referring to the immigration order, the executive office was granted that power by the courts back in the fifties and then again by congress two years later. Trump won't break the law, he is too smart for something stupid like that. This guy just crushed BOTH of the major political powers in the USA. He manipulated both into making mistakes that cost them any hope of winning. Stop underestimating him just because you loath his personality.

Trumps gonna run again in 2020 and most likely win it handedly. He will win because his enemies will continue to underestimate him and run the same game they running now.

Politics has become a cult religion for the left. Once something crosses into faith it can no longer be effected by rationale discussion.

It's why I keep pointing out the fanatical mentality whenever I can. "The problem with voters is they aren't educated enough to vote for us, we need to reeducate them." Or my favorite "anything is acceptable for the cause."

Don't kid yourself, it's a cult religion for both parties.

I can't stress enough that people need to study power and strategy to remotely understand politics. At the lowest level there are two sides, one is the public theatre in front of the uneducated masses, the second is the private dealing and maneuvering. Private is where everything happens but politicians need support of the masses so they put on a play for you to see. All the public commentary is about the play, none is about the actual exercise of power. President Obama was a master of theater but woefully inadequate ar the private dealing, so bad that he was turned into a sock puppet by the Democrats. McCain also suffered from this awhile back. Trump is a master of both and has objectively demonstrated this in how he manipulated and defeated both political parties.

That last part is what scares the *** out of other world leaders. EVERY country is about getting maximum benefit for themselves. Their leaders frequently spar and try to manipulate each other's countries to get things they want. Europe has been exploiting the USA for decades now. By manipulating the US public and entertainment industry they got very favorable trade deals along with their national defense and health care subsidized. Our politicians knew about this but didn't bother challenging it. That just changed and nobody wants to have to go up against Trump.

People are allowing their personal feelings, driven by paid media, to cloud their mind. One should never underestimate ones enemy nor fail to recognize their true strengths.

The right already had a religion so that's just assumed.

World leaders aren't afraid of what he might do from a military standpoint. Our most potent weapon is economics. The rest are much more difficult to actually put into motion against our rivals.
