Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Apparently we need rules to define relevance.  I think his question has lots to do with the statement you made.  Do you think that Trump is unique in this requirement to have people in his administration who disagree with him?
If something is wrong it is wrong. Trying to justify something because others did it is a losing argument.

I think his point was that it is normal to staff and administration with people who agree with you.

He was accusing you of a double standard.

Pointing out a double standard is not generally viewed as a losing argument.

You can try and explain why you feel you do not have a double standard.

No what he tried do is like most of you here do is to say BO/HRC did the same thing so that makes it OK.
If I said it is OK for others to do the same thing then that would be a double standard. Please stop with the #fakenews claiming I have a double standard.

In this case applying different rules to different individuals. I did not do that. Now would you like to apologize for accusing me of having double standards?

I don't know how to reconcile these two statements.

Now would you like to apologize for accusing me of having double standards?

I did not accuse you of having double standards.  I invited you to explain away the appearance of one.  I apologize if I was not clear enough.

I’m hearing rumors that trump might be on his way to Israel now. Is there any way to confirm that? Any way to track Air Force One? Is Turx on DDF by any chance?
please tell me this is a joke

RE: The Iran Deal

History repeats itself
Quote
Before leaving Munich, Chamberlain and Hitler signed a paper declaring their mutual desire to resolve differences through consultation to assure peace. Both Daladier and Chamberlain returned home to jubilant welcoming crowds relieved that the threat of war had passed, and Chamberlain told the British public that he had achieved “peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time.” His words were immediately challenged by his greatest critic, Winston Churchill, who declared, “You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour and you will have war.” Indeed, Chamberlain’s policies were discredited the following year, when Hitler annexed the remainder of Czechoslovakia in March and then precipitated World War II by invading Poland in September. The Munich Agreement became a byword for the futility of appeasing expansionist totalitarian states, although it did buy time for the Allies to increase their military preparedness.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

MCGA: MakeChinaGreatAgain

President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!

It does sound silly the way he said it, but you do have to give sometimes to get things in return

There is major security issues with this company. The military and every intelligent agency will not use their phones. Trump is clueless with what is going on.

Anybody care to imagine what would happen if China suddenly did to Apple what the commerce department did to ZTE?
China is a massive economy, with a population 5 times the USA. You can't poke the bear without expecting consequences.

Where do you see that Trump is clueless? He just said he wants to find a solution that will allow them to be used here. I assume that means some way of eliminating the security concerns

I guess you give him more credit than me.
Isn't this the company that sold American technology to NK and Iran?
