Numbers that Uncle allows them to fly now since they’ve volunteered their membership as torpedoes in the pen. Uncle doesn’t let rape or pedophilia or drive-by’s or banging-on-civilians slide. Never has. It’s an automatic death-sentence that’s well documented. Something stinks in Virginia or Long Island or wherever these stories are coming out of.

It is, of course, bullshit, because it's part of the propaganda program meant to link immigrants of color to crime in order to justify these stomach-churning, diabolical human rights violations:

Repetitive deflection worthy of Goebbles.

The third one is the most shocking. They are trying to create deniability so they can rewrite history.

We are all kinds of super fucked. As in "holy shit Ms. Diver and I are seriously looking at moving to Canada" super fucked. From G7:

Trump threatens U.S. allies on trade as he exits G7 summit | Reuters

Trump calls for Russia's G-7 reinstatement, adding to deep tensions with allies at sumit | LA Times

Trump: Will know within 'first minute' if North Korea is serious about giving up nukes | The Hill

Fuck me dead. I work with a few economics PhDs and public policy/public health gurus and they're all bracing for impact with the downstream ramifications of this git's inanity and lack of foresight. The butterfly effect of Friday will be very bad to everyone below the median HH income, and even people just north if it. Get ready for your grocery bills to potentially triple in parts of the country! :picard:

I predict the G-7 is about to become the G-6. :picard:

The people winning here are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping as they watch the West fracture and turn on itself as we antagonize our closest allies. I really hope that when Trump is gone the damage can be repaired.

Regardless of what happens with the impeachment talk, if a Democrat or non-Trumpian is elected in 2020, we'll have at least 4 years before the damage is undone, likely longer if it's a Republican, even one who's not like Trump (Kasich, Susan Collins, etc). If one of Trump's evangelicals winds up getting elected after Trump we might as well bite the pillow, spread our cheeks, and point them towards China and Russia.

I really can't believe what a diplomatic idiot Trump is. :whoa:

(OK, I can.) :idk:

I think the pendulum's gonna start swingin' back in the Democrats favor. :idk:

Also, wondering what's Scott Pruitt's favorite mosturizing lotion. :idk:

What other way is there for it to swing? :lol:

Will it really swing? will it really matter? will a difference really be made? The dems are caught up in a massive internal battle so even if there is any swing will it swing? and a swing song will not help you.

I thought that was the main tenet of this thread? :idea:
