Individual-1, a joke or a threat? (talk Trump)

[Brian Peacock]

What's really funny is how incompetent his opponents appear, when they keep on calling him the idiot.

Hey, you're not the guy who posts those YouTube videos with titles like 'Jordan Peterson DESTROYS transgender feminazi', 'Sean Hanity DISMANTLES socialist agenda', or 'Jacob Rees-Mogg RIPS STUDENT a new one on LIVE TV!' are you?

I don't much like this source, but there is a point. It may be safer to stretch the impeachment plans to 2020 to be active in the election time. Then do not vote on it till 2021. It will just make Trump look really bad during the election if Mueller is still at it. Ken Starr lasted forever. He's still stalking Bill I think.

Third, such a failed impeachment effort would backfire on Democrats just as the impeachment of Bill Clinton backfired on Republicans in the 1990s. At the same point in his presidency, after Republicans won the House in 1994, Clinton’s approval was stuck in the low 40s, only a few points better than Trump today. But two years later, after House Republicans approved articles of impeachment, Clinton’s approval rating soared to 73 percent. Despite incontrovertible evidence that Clinton had sexual relations with a White House intern and lied about it under oath, Clinton left office with the highest Gallup approval rating of any president since Harry Truman.

Criminal Trump's fraudulent charity forced to shut down.

https://abcn.ws/2Er7vvE?fbclid=IwAR1dVx ... ThdaMfHJEY

The article itself says that the charity was filing to shut down back in 2016, and the NY AG prevented them from doing so, and sought oversight of the dissolution instead, delaying dissolution by 2 years. The article provides no examples of specific payments that were found to be improper.

It wasn't just improper payments. Since you enjoy reading court filings, have at it:

People of New York v. Donald J. Trump et al.

I do, but if you're making a point, make it yourself.

I was just talking to an American in the pub there and I realised the real problem with arguing with Trump supporters...

They're there expending all their energy trying to convince you Trump isn't a piece of shit, but the only person who can convince me that Trump isn't a piece of shit is Trump - by not acting like a piece of shit.

Yeah but foreigners! We don’t give a fuck about...

There is a big reason people don't like the country becoming more politically correct and "people being more sensitive in their comments." It's not that people are against politeness and decorum. What they're against is having non-racist and non-bigoted things being re-cast to be racist and bigoted. Nobody is arguing for it to be good form to call black people niggers. However, they do tend to get a bit put-off if speech codes are being written which denote that telling someone their hair looks nice, or that they speak English well are now "politically incorrect."

Political correctness is not the same thing as politeness and decorum. If it was, there wouldn't be a need for a separate term. Political correctness connotes something being categorized as an improper or impermissible statement (socially or otherwise) which is in fact, true and accurate. Like, some people suggesting that it's politically incorrect to say that humans are a sexually dimorphic species.

Sounds funny! Where are the posts?

[Tero]

It’s them white Christians. They don’t want commie pinko fags to be equal to them. Thus no correctness.

I do, but if you're making a point, make it yourself.

The point, such as it is, is obvious, but if you're having trouble making it out, fine. You said, 'The article provides no examples of specific payments that were found to be improper.' I provided a primary source in which alleged improper payments are detailed, and more. Read it or don't. Going by past experience, if I went through it and spoon-fed the allegations to you, you'd just deflect.

After reading a long article about resurgent lung disease in coal miners, I wondered what the Trump administration has done about safety regulations in coal mines. Well not really, but I looked it up just the same.

'An Epidemic Is Killing Thousands Of Coal Miners. Regulators Could Have Stopped It'

It's a familiar tale across Appalachia. Two hours north and east, beyond twisting mountain roads, Danny Smith revved up a lawn mower. He wore jeans, a T-shirt and a white face mask stretching from eyes to chin, and he pushed only about 15 feet before he suddenly shut off the mower, bent to his knees and started hacking uncontrollably.

"Oh God," he gasped, as he spit up a crusty black substance with gray streaks, and then stared at the dead lung tissue staining the grass. Still coughing and breathing hard, Smith settled into a chair on his porch and clipped an oxygen tube to his nose.

After spending just 12 years underground, his lungs are so bad he faces what coal miners decades older and with decades more in mining have endured. His lung tissue is dying so fast, his respiratory therapist says, it just peels away.

"I'm terrified," Smith said, as he remembered his father's suffering when he was struggling with the same coal miner's disease.

"I sure don't want to go through what he went through. I seen a lot of guys that died of black lung and they all suffered like that."

A multiyear investigation by NPR and the PBS program Frontline found that Smith and Kelly are part of a tragic and recently discovered outbreak of the advanced stage of black lung disease, known as complicated black lung or progressive massive fibrosis.

'Trump Promised Coal Miners the World. He's Made Their Lives Worse in Every Way That Matters: The president rolled back mine safety standards. And air and water standards. And healthcare protections.

Getting in while the getting is good, both Kentucky and West Virginia have made new laws cutting back their state coal mining safety regulations.

Regulations bad.

Conservatives Worry Feminists Are Using Witchcraft To Destroy Trump
Following President Trump’s inauguration, witches, covens, and even A-list celebrities started to hex the president with frequent “spells.”

The article, written by Breitbart tech reporter Charlie Nash, claims that the terms “witch” and “feminist” have now become synonymous.

Earlier this week Nash appeared on Breitbart’s daily radio program to defend his bizarre and silly conspiracy theory, breathlessly claiming that there are “groups of people who are actually trying to hex the president.”

You're projecting your own behavior on me. I can't tell you how many times I've spoon-fed material and had you and others deflect, not to mention the times I've spent long periods of time going over links with large amounts of material, only to have my response to it deflected. I'm tired of wasting that time. If you're going to prove a point, prove it. You don't accept me saying "here you're wrong -- see link," do you?

Brooklyn witches hex Brett Kavanaugh ... http://time.com/5424289/brooklyn-witche ... kavanaugh/

Catland Books, in the Bushwick neighborhood of the New York City borough, says that Kavanaugh will be the focus of the event, but it will curse “all rapists and the patriarchy,

Idiots, right?

“[Brett Kavanaugh] will be the focal point, but by no means the only target, so bring your rage and and all of the axes you’ve got to grind,” the invite reads. The event will embrace the powers of witchcraft to bring justice “to those of us who have been wronged by men just like him.”

Yeah, his kind, right! We know his type.

The mystical bookstore event will also hold a second ritual after the main hex, called “The Rites of the Scorned One,”

The main hex, and then secondary hexes.

According to Bracciale, hex protests against political officials this year have been worth their weight in candles. “We hexed Trump last summer. What happened from last summer until now? I don’t know how many convictions in the Mueller probe; the Stormy Daniels scandal; the New York Times exposé on how he’s a financial vampire." Bracciale considers the Trump hex a success. "That’s something that I’m very proud of.”

Ha ha! Dumb-ass people think witchcraft can actually put working "hexes" on people. Morons!

But, don't worry, Tero - there are voices of reason in the Religious Left, warning against the casting of hexes backfiring on the spell-casters --

Not all witches are on the side of hexing. Stacy Rapp, owner of Enchantments, the oldest witchcraft store in New York City, does not promote dark magic. She argues that hexing could backfire and cause those being cursed to gain more power, especially when it comes to the public condemnation of political officials. “All spells work with energy and send that energy towards an intended target," Rapp says. "Even if you are trying to send negative energy, you’re still sending energy. To do a hex on Kavanaugh? You’re giving him power.”

Oh, yes, indeed. The risk and problem with casting spells is that the "energy" that you send towards your intended target - that's power - so, through your prayers and spells, you might actually be delivering packets of power to your intended victim. That's a big problem.

It's a good thing the Left doesn't have anyone as idiotic as the Right when it comes to supernatural bullshit.
