Well, whoever replaces her will have it. Germany took it and America certainly doesn't want it back. All it does is make everyone hate you. NO REFUNDS.
If the US military completely collapses, Iranian, Chinese, and Russian forces can be on the US coast in a matter of hours, with paratroopers able to be dropped further inland.
OK I didn't realize that this was a satirical comment until here. Well done! The Iranians can't even sail a boat over the Atlantic. They keep saying they're going to sail to the Gulf of Mexico and give us the finger, but never do. The Chinese can't even cross the 100 mile Taiwan Strait to invade Taiwan. The Russians...they'll have their hands full with Western Europe and no time to do Red Dawn. LOL. I can't believe you actually referenced Red Dawn. You had me going there for a minute.
So tell me again about those eeeeeevil libertarians. How many elected offices do they hold? How many universities do they hold hostage like the SJWs do? It just sounds like America isn't the country for you. There are tons of countries out there to choose from and none of them have any libertarians oppressing you. Good luck choosing one, I hope you do well there.
One of Trump's revolutionary ideas is that America doesn't need to hog the spotlight and make every event about itself. It also doesn't need to pay for everything. These ideas have been front and center in our administrative and elected states for decades. They are beyond convinced that if America does not do it, it either will not get done or is not worth doing. They love pouring wood for the fire that will never heat us.
Trump is showing that they are wrong and always were wrong. The world can get along very well without America. Merkel picked up the mantle of world leadership that Trump cast off back in April and has been doing an outstanding job at it. Six months and she hasn't started a single war. Far better than Obama ever did.
All of these changes that make our lives crap will be for us little people to follow. Due to their great virtue, the climate elites are excused from the consequences of their actions. It is us the small folk who are to blame, and who must pay for our crimes.
But this Paris agreement money would have just been stolen by the recipients. It wouldn't have gone for thorium reactors or whatever. There was no way to ensure the money was spent correctly. It was just a scam, a way to transfer money from America to other countries where their elites could steal it and transfer it right back out again.
America is the Saudi Arabia of food, we have tons of it and are really good at growing it. We'll never have food riots.
Yes, you are right, a planned economy is utter shit and Five Year Plans are indeed socialist. It's a good thing we're smart enough to avoid pressing that obvious idiot button.
Damn, you are a seriously fucked-up person. You idealists who think everything should be perfect are really vile when you realize you're not going to get your Utopia. Hint: Utopia literally means "no place".
That's the really beautiful part of Trump pulling us out of the Paris scam agreement. Everyone involved immediately got angry and went to prove that they didn't need the US federal government to accomplish their goals. They did it!
Just goes to show you, America is not indispensable and the world can do quite well without us. Moreover Merkel took up the burden of world leadership and has been world leader since then. Good riddance to it, I say. We Americans have been absolutely horrid world leaders, starting wars for profit left and right. It's about time a peaceful country led everyone while America tends to itself for a while.
We don't know *who* specifically paid Fusion GPS, what Fusion GPS were paid for, nor what Steele's directives were after he was hired.
Absolutely we did. An attorney for Clinton hired them.
I know, you desperately want there to be proof of Russian interference. You simply can't fathom that your preferred candidate didn't win. I understand this. But the more I hear about Russia the more I'm sure it's a nothingburger. It's gone from Russia hacking our elections all the way down to "somebody related to the campaign talked to a Russian citizen." This is levels of "election interference" way below Obama's constant meddling in other nation's elections. Remember when he tried to alter the result of Brexit?
McVeigh's bombing was revenge for the US government burning down the Branch Davidians. You think he just one day decided to blow up a federal building for kicks? On the anniversary of the mass murder? If the US government didn't burn all those people to death, McVeigh would be some nutbag with a tiki torch today. Get it?
Pretend any link? What the fuck? His bombing was an act of revenge for the US federal government burning down the Branch Davidians. If the government didn't do that, there would never have been a bombing in the first place. The US government literally creates its own enemies. Did you seriously not know this before I just told you? Whaaa...? And you call other people uninformed and uneducated? You have a breathtakingly narrow view of the universes inhabited by others.
I'm just curious because you sound really bitter. Where is this human society that is like what you want? When has it ever existed in history? I'm just curious. It seems a lot to me like you want a totally unworkable Utopia and your idealism has disillusioned you. It's just that this greed is the force that has maxed out our lives and given us better food than anywhere on the planet, alcohol and tobacco are heavily taxed and provide tons of revenue. In fact, those are "sin taxes" that are a result of Christianity. It just seems nothing is good enough for you, where does this society you desire exist?
Well you're doing yourself a disservice by listening to biased news that doesn't tell you the whole story. Start listening to the alternative media. We know now without a shadow of a doubt that the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, paid Fusion GPS and Steele to acquire this dossier, which required colluding with Russian operatives and Russian nationals. They used the information from this dossier to justify surveillance on Trump and his associates. This happened.
Fusion GPS was contacted by a GOP member for Opp research. The Steele Dossier was separate. The media / DNC are pushing that narrative, but itâ(TM)s flat out wrong. The GOP didnâ(TM)t ask for the Steele Dossier, they asked for separate Opposition Research. The DNC / HRC campaign started the Steele Dossier.
LOL putting the Muslims on the same side as the American working class - nice one there. Yeah that's not going to work, pal.
Ever notice that Timothy McVeigh's bomb went off precisely two years to the day after the US federal government burned down the Branch Davdian compound in Waco, TX, killing all those poor people? A strange coincidence, one that is never remarked upon. And the bomb exploded in front of a US federal building. Huh. I wonder why that happened? Exactly the same day. Well, a coincidence, I suppose. Best not to point out inconvenient truths like that. Did you ever notice this before, or is this the first time you realized it when I just pointed it out?
None of which excuses today's violence by the Left that shuts down free speech. Just an exercise in whataboutism.
A socialist that likes working class people? RLY? In my experience socialists despise the working class and abuse them for failing to vote in what they deem to be the workers' best interests. Orwell wrote about this extensively. Remember, socialists don't like the poor, they just hate the rich.
Nah, they just get immigrants to do it. The days of wages rising for low skill/no skill work are over. There will always be a flood of new people willing to work in terrible conditions for low wages, because it's much better than wherever they came from. Why do you think our billionaires are so in favor of it?
Do they set things on fire and block people from talking with violence, like the Left does these days? Hell, the Left doesn't even agree that the First Amendment should exist, they consider it over-the-top radical. The Second shouldn't exist, neither should the Fourth, the Fifth, as a matter of fact they consider the whole Constitution invalid because it was written by ciswhite hetmales.
Leftists: we're attacking people who say things we don't like. In order to stop them from deciding someday, to possibly, organize and become violent, by organizing, ourselves, and being violent, NOW. We want to stop you from maybe, possibly, someday, doing what we are currently, already doing.ï
Liberal whites wanted to be rid of the culturally conservative, economically liberal, working-class white voters whom Democrats had courted in the previous decade. Upper-middle-class whites were embarrassed by these people. After all these centuries of white privilege, they never managed to get into a good schoolâ"or even a state collegeâ"and now they were making demands about trade and immigration.
One of the themes that emerges from Shattered (a chronicle of the Clinton campaign) is that the Clinton operation didnâ(TM)t want to make a strong play for working-class white voters in swing states. The Clintonites thought these voters were disposable. That's you.
Government is necessary, and our government in particular should not be feared. The US government is made up of US citizens, duh? Why would I fear my fellow citizens? And I can point to boatloads of good our government has done. Were mistakes made? Of course they were. Nothing is perfect, but I'm still not crying out for it to be torn down, nor do I fear it.
With the sex abuse scandals out in force, and abusive men in full retreat all across the cultural spectrum, it seems like a poor idea for CAH to choose to be in the spotlight. In July 2014, a woman came forward with her account of having been raped by Max Temkin, one of the creators of Cards Against Humanity. The original post of him denying it is password protected, but this analysis is still open. Whatever the truth of the situation, the whole thing reads a little like, "I'm sorry if you thought I sexually assaulted you, but I definitely did not."
He casts himself as a male feminist and a good social justice person, but we know now from Weinstien, Franken, Laurer, and all the rest that the loudest voices for women are always the worst offenders. There's no secret why, they're trying to head off accusations by pretending to be for women's rights. Even Wil Wheaton supported Max Tempkin. Rapists aren't monsters and that's why they're scary. Tempkin thought it would be funny to include a card titled "Surprise Sex" but in light of the atmosphere today it sure makes him look like a different person, doesn't it?
The right seems to like to do that. Left seems to say, let people do what they want, leave people alone.
You joking? The side that invented social justice wants to leave people alone? You're nuts. Did you know that back in the 90's we didn't have SJWs and it wasn't exactly the third reich, right?
Lastly, is the rights apparent 'fear' of government.
You know what killed more people than anything else in the 20th century? Government. Powerful central governments. Apparently when you give them enough power they just go off on their own and ignore the people's interests in favor of their own. And their own interests require that a lot of people die so that they can achieve their goals. Just look at these numbers - when you start using terms like "deka-megamurderer" it's amazingly frightening. People are right to be afraid, and you are the one that is uneducated on the topic. Did you even know the Nationalist Chinese killed more people than Hitler killed Jews? If not, then how are you qualified to even speak on the subject of fear of powerful government?
There's an old conservative maxim: "Keep the old as long as it is good, and take the new as soon as it is better." In the political context, liberals dismiss that maxim. They propose radical changes in public policy, without any caution...often in the face of copious evidence that their proposals have been tried and found harmful!

Reminder: It's wrong for Republicans to even talk to foreigners but it's ok for democrats to hold campaign fundraisers in foreign countries.
If the US government didn't burn all those people to death, McVeigh would be some nutbag with a tiki torch today.
Did you know the radical left did the same as McVeigh? Bombing not just once, but many many times over a period of years and decades? And we have completely forgotten about it today. Yup, it's true, this happened. And the people who did it are still alive and teaching kids today.
"People have completely forgotten that in 1972 we had over nineteen hundred domestic bombings in the United States."
McVeigh's bombing was revenge for the US government burning down the Branch Davidians. You think he just one day decided to blow up a federal building for kicks?

No. That's dumb.

Here's a video you should watch, by a fellow leftist who used to be on The Young Turks. It's safe, he agrees with you. When you're done, start clicking on the related videos it will suggest to you. You really need to widen the information sources you expose yourself to. Good luck!

If one side understands the other better, and by extension probably their arguments better too, and still holds their position...that speaks to the strength of their position. The Left simply does not understand the Right and doesn't care to - much like you say anyone on the Right must be an uneducated deplorable prson. When faced with questions such as "One of the worst things a person could do is hurt a defenseless animal" or "Justice is the most important requirement for a society," liberals assumed that conservatives would disagree.
