calling shots at the VA
Not to excuse it, but Trump is far from the first president to reside over a declining VA. It speaks very much to our nations priorities that we don't care about this as much as we do... basically anything else.
not to mention the whole "revealing the presence of a previously-unreported SEAL team" thing during his totally-not-yet-another-campaign-rally in Iraq (though I'm most amused that the best
fig leaf I could find in response to this one is the fact that the original report used the word "covert" incorrectly

)
Yeah actually that article is completely correct. Just because something isn't reported on in the press doesn't mean it's covert, nor does the general public knowledge of something render classification of material on said subject moot. Sorry that doesn't conform to your worldview.
Not to mention how safe our boys must feel knowing that their Commander-in-Chief refuses to so much as condemn the country that has done more than most any other to spread and bolster radical Islam, including most of the 9/11 hijackers, because he wants to sell them more weapons.
Israel? I know we're supposedly pulling out of Syria and he's telling Iran to do what they please, but shoot, way to avoid the elephant in the room, Drumpf. I'm gonna be with her if he doesn't rectify this soon.
Please do - impart more obviously non-trolling wisdom to us about how there's no such thing as income inequality
I have never once said or insinuated this. In fact, if anyone has been especially vocal in bemoaning the eradication of the middle class, it's me. We have seen extreme inequality for over a decade now, that's not our disagreement. It's how we fix it,
if we can fix it.
people just need to be more willing to live with their parents all their lives, and spend the money they can't afford an apartment with on hourly motel rates instead when their spouses get horny.

I mean, if our parents/grandparents weren't brainwashed consumerist slaves better known as baby boomers, things like ensuring intergenerational assets wouldn't sound crazy. Ask your nearest boomer if they took out a home equity loan, then cry yourself to sleep knowing that you were sold to the banks before you were even born.
There really shouldn't be anything wrong with intergenerational households, it's much more common in countries besides the US. If you want to fix the housing problem and help restore our prior standard of living, we can start by limiting foreign investment, outlawing subprime mortgages, and, last but not least, severely limiting immigration so boomers won't find the sons and daughters of foreign billionaires willing to buy their overvalued McMansions.
Or, if you'd prefer to stick to your unquestioned expertise in military and foreign affairs, feel free to expand upon your tireless insistence that Hillary's proposed no-fly zone for Syria, even though it specifically excluded Russia
When the Joint Chiefs of Staff decide that such an exclusion is irrelevant, it's irrelevant. Plus, what's even the point of a no fly zone over Syria if it excludes Russia?
would have been more than enough on its own to goad Crazy Vlad into starting World War 3, while Trump's genius
launching of (totally ineffectual, but what were you expecting?) tomahawks into the country,
withdrawal from the INF treaty, and
Open Skies flight over Ukraine has so brilliantly placated hair-trigger Putin and pulled us all back from the very brink of fiery oblivion.
Old news that ultimately amounted to nothing, shedding baggage from a bygone era, and unfortunately routine aggressions with a country we just can't seem to get along with.
quash unleashed. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
If this was the
Dark Souls of politics threads before, get ready, because it's about to become the
Demon's Souls of politics threads. Your enemies will be far more ruthless, you'll lose way more, and you'll become way more demoralized. That, and I have it on good authority we'll be seeing a guest appearance from Dante from the
Devil May Cry series.
