Dude, do you understand that bacon is not kryptonite to a Muslim? And do you really think someone who was intent on perpetrating an attack on the United States would just say, "Sorry, we had to cancel the attack because they wanted me to take a bite out of a bacon cheeseburger"?
The 9/11 hijackers were hanging at strip clubs and drinking and doing all sorts of non-Sharia things while they were getting ready for their attack. I'm pretty sure dietary restrictions aren't going to slow them down.
I'm going to choose to believe that your suggestion was in jest. It's much too stupid to have been serious.
I'm curious. Does the onboard driver assist computer phone home with log data to Tesla Motors? I'm pretty sure that in the case of an accident investigation, the car was impounded by the authorities. It would be pretty extraordinary if the highway patrol or accident investigators gave the information up to Tesla, considering Tesla didn't own the car.
Don't forget- this is the guy who was having an affair while his wife was sick cancer, and who had her served divorce papers while she in the hospital recovering from surgery to remove a tumor.
Wait, the kicker of that story is that his excuse for cheating on his sick wife was that he just loved America too much. I'll bet it was the first time that patriotism was used as an excuse for an extramarital affair - but I'm sure it's not the last.
"There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate."
What man can't relate to this? You get so distracted by loving this country so damn much that you forget to notice that your penis has found its way into a woman who is not your wife.
And so deport anyone of Muslim background who believes in Sharia law? Which means we only accept Muslims who don't believe in Sharia law, or in other words, Muslims with poor morals? That's absurd.
I'm still trying to figure out what kind of "test" he's going to give Muslims to see whether or not they believe in Sharia law.
Of course, no Muslim who is planning on attacking a target in the US would ever lie. Maybe he thinks Sharia law shows up in the urine.
Now that he's no longer in the running for Veep he's gonna use the bump to sell as many of his books & merchant to frightened old people as he can.
Everybody's got to make a living. Plus, Calista is starting to get a little long in the tooth. It's time for an upgrade. He's just waiting for the right time to tell her he wants a divorce, like the morning after she has a mastectomy.
No, he's actually intelligent. He is not saying this because it would be a smart thing to do, he is saying it to get press coverage and help with some strategic goal for his personal brand or for one of his current projects.
Newt's "personal brand" is in the shitter. Can you imagine that you're not good enough to be Donald Trump's running mate? For that matter, I hope they have Chris Christie under suicide watch. He was last seen picking up Trump's dry-cleaning and sobbing into a grande caramel mocha frappuccino. With sprinkles.
Payroll taxes don't cover SS outlays, haven't for years and won't again cover the costs for decades.
Payroll taxes cover all but about $80 billion of the nearly $1trillion that is paid toward all SS (OASI and disability) benefits.
If you just eliminate the cap on payroll taxes so that everybody pays the same percentage, it would eliminate the shortfall and even allow for a much-needed increase in benefits.
The Keystone XL pipeline extension was planned between Hardisty, Alberta, and Steele City, Nebraska. It does not go to Texas.
See, this is what you get when you use wikipedia as your only source of information.
Here is the actual map of the proposed pipeline from TransCanada, who are actually building the fucking thing. You will notice it goes to Port Arthur Texas on the Gulf Coast.
Actually, the US itself is fairly independent of Saudi oil these days.
No. We're still importing tons of oil from the Saudis. Remember, it's a global market. Oil that's drilled here in the US doesn't stay in the US. We'll always be at the mercy of the Saudis and OPEC as long as we are hell-bent on globalism.
Then you're for any and all solutions from renewables to fracking to off-shore drilling that reduces, if not eliminates our buying of middle eastern oil.
As I said, you could never, ever get a US congress or president from either party to go along with forcing US oil companies to sell only to US customers. It is not possible.
So you can do all the off-shore drilling and fracking is just going toward shipping our resources overseas. "Energy independent" really should mean "energy independent". Not just "we're making as much as we're using, but it's all going into a global marketplace so we're still stuck with OPEC setting the terms".
Yep, because if you go back before 1956, everything was pretty much a-okay throughout the middle east. There was no strife, violence, or any history of destabilization at all.
Yes, there was a history of violence and strife, like there is in every part of the world, but we hadn't yet turned the worst actors into billionaires.
Okay, let's roll with this. You know the US is now sitting on more oil, coal and NG, then there are proven supplies in say Saudi Arabia? Canada comes in just under that US total too. So let's cut the snake off at the head, and start using our own oil/NG/coal/etc.
It doesn't matter where the oil is geographically. Banksters are above nationality. All that matter is where the money is and where it goes.
There is zero chance of any sort of legislation requiring oil drilled in the US to be sold only in the US. Why else would the Keystone XL pipeline go to Port Arthur and Galveston?
Countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Quatar? They're funding extrimism in our own backyards by paying for the institutional buildings to spread that type of hate.
You could almost say that the oil industry is really to blame. We've got a 60 year history of destabilizing a region where this mad ideology originates and then funding (and arming) their dictators. Oil industry and banksters have wrought this upon us. And a family named, "Rothschild"
We'll never deal with terrorism until we deal with that and the fallout from Balfour.
It was Wile E. Coyote who drew the tunnel; Roadrunner ran through it. W.E.C. then tried to pursue, and smacked into the wall. And then got run over by a truck coming through his tunnel.
I know that was the most common variant on the gag, but I'm pretty sure there was one where the roles were reversed and Roadrunner painted the tunnel and then went through it and THEN Wile E Coyote slammed into it.
I can see I will have to dedicate much of the next few days to doing some in-depth Looney Tunes research. Oh, who am I kidding? That's what I do every weekend.

That's good.

Is that your problem? "Marxist fifth columns" is who you're blaming for your inability to discuss reality?
Dude, I liked you better when you were blaming ADD.

You should visit the states sometime.

I imagine it must seem that way to you.

Specifically, the "Keystone XL" has always been planned for three stages. The final stage is to the Gulf.
It wasn't a stable and peaceful place, but we had not yet given them the means to influence us by selling them our birthright.
By making the Saudis rich beyond the dreams of avarice, we have allowed them to export their murderous theology around the world.
No. We're still importing tons of oil from the Saudis. Remember, it's a global market. Oil that's drilled here in the US doesn't stay in the US. We'll always be at the mercy of the Saudis and OPEC as long as we are hell-bent on globalism.
