Sure, but instead of individual targets it's the USA

It's deeper than that. Putin conditioned the dementia into him, so once the orders are carried out, he forgets

I sent this to a friend and my brother

And no one has laughed. I'm surprised. I thought this was funny as hell

That was the lie they tried.

That Iraq was storing weapons of mass destruction and coordinating with Al-Queda. It didn't make a lot of sense to anyone, but dissenting opinions were immediately called treasonous so people went with it. Or maybe not went with it- more like they didn't know what the crap to do and shrugged.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. It was just something Bush wanted to finish fucking up something his dad started and a bunch of rich people made a lot of money because of Cheney's influence on it.

Meh, I think mine can go with a few more holes anyway

Somehow, a huge amount of people hate thinking. Like it's painful or like exertion or something. Anything that can just give them what they want is better.

It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. They just want an answer. They don't want to know why, or how, they want to know now.

It's the shortcut to knowledge all the ancient parables warned us about. Instead of physically destroying your mind, it stops it from working at all.

Yes I know this has been fact checked, but I don't want to complain about that.

I want to complain how often we hear "down" or "up" by points or dollars over a very short period of time.

It should always be talked about in %. Because people who invest the money don't give a rats ass about the $ or point increase or decrease. They want to know how much they lost or gained.

Unless you are a broker or market maker, then you care, because it becomes about the volume of trades rather than the actual gain/loss.

Ok honestly, I didn't have the US pulling out of NATO on my Russia Defeats USA bingo card, but I see that one coming up now

Aren't there supposed to be a whole bunch of 18-25 year olds who don't have children or long term careers yet?

That's why old people send them to war, they're the expendable adults! (/s)

TBH though, it is a little weird I have no idea what that crowd is up to.

Ive been far too optimistic in the past.

I think shutting down the government is a great idea. People won't work if they don't get paid. A week or two? Maybe. A month? Less likely. But beyond that? No way.

But that's the part I can't be optimistic about. The DNC will reason "it's better that the government keeps running so those employed by the government can keep their source of income." Meanwhile the government workers are paid to destroy the government.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is what Trump wants.

He'll argue (or will be told to argue rather) that the constitution mandates that Congress does this job. He'll then use that as an excuse to dissolve congresss by means of the supreme court.
