Unfortunately,he's not wrong on the middle sentence. A single boob shot = an 'R' rating. But kill thousands or millions of people? PG-13 unless there's too much blood.

The ratings system in this country is farked when The King's Speech gets an 'R' but your standard action movie gets PG-13 as long as there's no cursing.

For the Fark Independents (tm) out there, this was the moral of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

Re: POTUS 45.29: Eggs and Tweet Storms for Breakfast

The problem with creating your own reality is people eventually get sick of it. "Iraq insurgency is in its death throes" and "We'll be greeted as liberators". People do go along or forget at first but as the situation drags on they tire of being BS'd and respond accordingly (2006, 2008 elections).

What you all can be reassured about is that few people not already a multi-millionaire actually believe that tax cuts for the rich stimulates the economy anymore. That was evident during the debate leading up to the latest GOP campaign donor giveaway from a few months ago. Most of its "support" was due to Trump voters desire for him to finally chalk up a legislative win as opposed to these same people thinking they'd actually see a windfall from the new rates.

Furthermore, the last two Dem Presidents have successfully raised up the top rates higher than they found them. Given the current climate in the country today and a consensus that the rich should indeed pay more taxes, the solution based on past history and current political conditions seems fairly simple. Elect Dems and they'll hike taxes back up on the rich with the exact amount TBD.

Anyone know what this is about? I guess I need to research.

EDIT: Never mind, it's BS. Democratic Memo proves that that's not the case. Just more Trump distraction.

Yeah there was something I saw about that on twitter yesterday. Trump's lack of understanding is pretty hilarious and yet also SAD!

You know the President of the United States slamming the FISA Court for abuse is pretty irresponsible. Also, the Republican controlled Congress just passed without changes an extension on the law that regulates the FISA Court. And he signed it.

It's just more ridiculous BS.

And never mind that all four FISA judges who issued the warrants on Carter Page were Republican appointees.

Guess brent's having a hard time coming up with those examples of Democrats abusing their spending powers. But he just knows they do.

Funny you bring that up. Whenever somebody forwards a Russian bot screed about liberals or we need more guns or Trump's holiness on Facebook, its always people I know who are in their 60's and 70's (aka Fox viewers). What is up with that generation?

I suspect people have tired of Trump's BS'ing earlier than Bush II's because his party is struggling mightily in recent elections from the Senate (Alabama), to Governors (Virginia) to state legislative races over the last year pretty much across the country.

Not that I really want to wade into this little spat you and Brent are having, but wasn't there something during Obama's term where one of the government agencies threw a million dollar party or something out in Las Vegas? I only remember it because I think I was in Las Vegas when this gathering occurred, so that's why it stuck with me, but I don't remember the particulars or exactly what happened.

GSA

The chief and two executives resigned, and you'll note that Obama was appropriately outraged by disregard for taxpayer dollars and demanded those responsible be held accountable. So pretty much the same :rolleyes:

Sessions is also probably somewhat aware, despite his many faults, that having his own people investigate an investigation into his own boss would look a little suspicious, so he needed to pick someone more independent. Sort of like how the guy investigating Trump is a lifelong Republican, originally made FBI Director by a Republican, and appointed by a Republican Asst AG to lead the investigation.
 
Re: POTUS 45.29: Eggs and Tweet Storms for Breakfast

Someone on my Facebook feed posted one of those memes that said how the Left seems to forget about the guy with the AR-15 that stopped a church shooting. Um, first of all, NINE people were killed in the church, the guy ran away and another guy stopped him by shooting him. And second, if the killer wasn't able to buy an assault weapon with ease, those people would still be alive.

Listen, *******, the phrase has always been "the only way to limit a bad guy with a gun to nine deaths is a good guy with a gun".

I work with their kids, in their 40s. And their grandkids in their 20s.

There are a lot of spectacularly ignorant, stupid, and angry young people who come out of the toilet homes. Their parents have poisoned them and their bed pan brains have been filled all their lives. They have a complete disassociation from reality. The generational change is very, very slow. Those kids will in turn produce another litter of toilet heads, who will make their own toilet homes, and so on...
