When did Hitler, during his ascendancy (or ever, really) say he wanted to put the Jews in camps? The camps came way, way, way after dehumanizing them and blaming them for all the Germans' problems.

So are you saying Trump will eventually put the Mexicans (sorry, illegal immigrants), Muslims (sorry, terrorists), the media (sorry, fake news) in camps?

He hasn't said he would put any of them in camps, but he sure loves blaming them for everything. Ok, those and those "sad" "haters"... maybe he wants to be haters and sad people in camps too?

And while we at it, are you implying that conservatives would one day want to put "liberals" and "the left" into camps? Conservatives love to dehumanize and blame liberals just as much as the other way around.

Personally, I do think conservatives are much better at dehumanizing the opposition. Generally, the left loves to call the right stupid, while the right loves to call the left down right evil.

The left thinks the right is Jar Jar. The right thinks the left is Emperor Palpatine (not Vader, Vader was redeemed at the end, while godless commies are irredeemable, what with them not believing in god to forgive them!)

>California law voids almost all non-compete agreements (the exceptions are quite specific and would not apply here). There are studies that show that the state benefits from banning non-competes.

But all of the obese white guys from the midwest on this site like creimer told me that California was a land of high taxes, terrible people and godless heathens, and they're never wrong! /s

lest we forget the godless russians killing millions during that same period.

Political correctness is a godless, terrorist religion. Trump is well within his rights to send drones to the affected areas.

We in the US should be ashamed that the godless communists in Europe are more efficient at separating consumers from their money.

My conservative co-workers, after Sandy Hook, were raring to have the godless commie satanic federal government regulate video games, "The real cause of the violence" to protect their precious holy guns. Because Metal Gear Solid V totally lets us call in airstrikes on real-world targets.

The republicans will take your vote, and when our games get too bare-skinned for the bible thumpers, or become convenient chaff to save the guns again, they'll dump you without a second thought.

That's not even the best part. In their cover picture, they've removed the crosses from the spires of the cathedral. That may have been accurate 30 years ago, when godless communism still ruled in Russia, but now?

They didn't remove the crosses from the photo. They're using a 30 year old stock photo. With a bad label on it. Lazy and cheap.

The never ending quest to prove that there is no God. The proof will be unquestionable at the end of their godless life.

Come on, show me some evidence of the Godless Rooskies(TM) actually hacking the election, as in changing the count of the ballots, as opposed to accusations (likely correct) that they had some involvement in releasing emails from Her sooper-seekrit mail server in her very secure linen closet.

I mean, seriously, I didn't vote for that SOB either, but this hysteria sounds like Nixon justifying the Watergate break-in because "everybody knows" George McGovern is a commie.

I'm so sorry those godless unamerican commies are calling you mean names.

Fuck's sake, you called Obama a Kenyan Muslim traitor for eight years. Grow a pair and take your lumps.

Yep. when our biggest fear was the Soviet Ruskies and their godless nuclear and rocket scientists burying us in nuclear dust, engineering and science was a rewarding career in the U.S., math and science education was a big deal, and shit got built and done. Grab your pocket protector and your slide rule and join the government research lab, we gotta beat the Russians!

If Trump and Putin are just a little too tight with each other (I mean, get a room for chrissakes and get it over with), maybe a little red scare from China is what we need to kick this Trump "be dumb and trust me gonna be huge" ignorance trip to the curb. Science and engineering ain't cheap, and sorry all you "just deregulate" people out there, China won't wait for a bunch of Elon Musk's and other magic pixies of the free market to just appear and make everything happen tax-free.

Gotta pay, and make science a thing again, or else, in the future, when the moon comes up, you can point at the sky and say "Hey look! The new territory of China!"
(and why not declare it a territory? China says, don't like it? try and take it from us, bitches... oh, you can't get past low-Earth orbit, can you? well, you got your Trump tax break and your new wall with Mexico to comfort you. Hang on, gotta go, the Space Creatures just arrived and they're impressed with Human forays off the Earth... Yes, WE will Represent the Human Race to the Galactic Community, thank you, 'cause YOU AIN'T HERE, ARE YOU BITCHES?)

It is the taxes paid by hedonistic godless coastal states that keeps the fly over country afloat.

If that were true, then the coastal states would be conservative and lobby for lower federal taxes and spending while fly over country would be liberal and lobby for higher federal taxes and spending. But it isn't true, which is also why you see the opposite ideological distribution.

The only steady jobs there are the ones funded by the federal government.

You're welcome to try to scare up some data to support that ridiculous statement. But it is true that there are a significant number of federal jobs in Western states and the people who live there would like to get rid of them.

Social security forms 30% of the purchasing power of those states.

That's because smart retirees move to places with low cost of living and mainly live mainly off social security and leave their savings untouched. It's certainly what I'm planning on doing. That is hardly an indictment of those states.

Just fly over.

We have lots of godless people in the Midwest. Where I live, we have traffic jams, but they're five minutes long and only if you leave at exactly 5pm.

In a ten minute drive, I can get Thai (3) genuine Chinese (7), varieties of Mex (11), Turkish (2) Afghani (1), Indian (7), and much much more. A good house: $115K. A great house: $250K. House in the country with pond and woods for $350K.

Gigabit Ethernet in town. International airport 45min drive on a bad day. LGBTQ+ friendly. There are evangelicals, rednecks and others who, when they're sober, are fine people. The music is good, but not great, but not as expensive as the coasts.

The universities are rated very well, and aren't that expensive. Sports is ok, major teams within easy driving distance.

You're not going to get rich here rapidly. But you might have much less stress and be happy, hedonistic and godless-- or not.

All those hedonistic godless people are showered with such high incomes, while the God fearing folks in the fly over country are getting very low wages. Why, God! Why are you testing your faithful believers so much?

In my experience, God's faithful believers are happy in flyover country, and their primary political concerns are that they don't want their nice little corner of the world to turn into San Francisco or Detroit, and that they don't want to be taxed in order to pay for the lifestyles of the "hedonistic godless people" in those places.

You know, this is where the Bullshit Train boards. You list several important causes of flooding and yet you insist that "climate has nothing to do with it". Why leave out that cause, when you accept all the other causes?

Oh right, climate change cannot be real. So divert attention to the other issues and fight a rearguard action against climate change. Your politics are showing.

In 50 or 100 years, Louisiana may be in real trouble, along with Florida and numerous coastal cities. At that time your spiritual successors will curse their political opponents for not doing enough to stop or mitigate the damage. And that's what will happen, no introspection, no acceptance that one's own side spent decades in denial, no truth or accountability. There will be endless attempts to blame "Librals" and "Godless Scientists" and "Worshippers of False Idols".

All aboard the Bullshit Train!!

Forcing Christians to bake gay wedding cakes is forced acceptance.

Forced acceptance of the law. Isn't that what those on the right like? Law and order?

Being Christian isn't an excuse to ignore rule of law (especially when it's Christians like MLK Jr who fought to create these civil rights laws in the first place). The law still applies even if a godless atheist commie like Putin was running the bakery and refusing gays.

If you disagree with the law and think it's bad, get the law changed. But until the law changes, there will be consequences for you to break the law. It's called personal responsibility.

See, politicians, conserving biodiversity is not just hippy-happy-pro-Western-and-gay-culture-talk, potentially leading to the evils of godless democracy and missing the key authority figure of you.
