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.

So she expects countries to vote based on the money they receive?
No.

This has nothing to do with the regular voting. The US did something and whether it was good or not you don't get to lecture us and take our $$.
No.

It is grandstanding. And so is most of politics.
Let's use Egypt as an example.

There's no way they can afford to vote with the US or even abstain, and there's no way aid to Egypt will be cut.
He will cut $15 million out if their 4(?) Billion and it will make noise.
nonsense
why cant they abstain? Before Camp David I'm confident you would've also said "there's no way" for peace....
Egypt is in a quagmire.

 One one hand they need to show their ppl that they are the leader of the Arab world and are taking a leadership role in advancing the Palestinian cause.

On the other hand they don't really want to upset the US.

There's no way that they skip....

Mark my words. Not a penny will be cut from aid to Egypt. Any such intention would have Netanyahu on the first flight to Washington to make sure it doesn't happen.

On the contrary, aid to Egypt is only likely to grow on an annual basis based on the current situation.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

If it is charity then it should not be given. That will save our budget much more than almost anything else. We should give foreign aid to advance our global interests.
For you Mr no answer how does supporting Israel help our global interest?

The US position has always been that supporting global democracy is in our best interest. Israel is in an area of the world which is devoid from democracy other than Israel. In that same area there are large numbers of people who are looking to hurt both countries. Israeli expertise in dealing with this threat has been invaluable to the US.

Considering how many times is took for you to finally answer a simple question of how you felt the middle class would be hurt by the bill until it finally came out that it was based on numerous baseless assumptions I would call this a classic case of כל הפוסל במומו פוסל (that has been used here before)

We support Israel because they are a democracy and a friend. Because of this our standing in the world is worse but we do it anyway since it is the right thing to do. I think you would even agree that a lot of the hate towards the US comes from our support of Israel.

It ain’t just a kind heart that has caused us to stand by Israel’s side all these years. As the ambassador has said we expect things in return. Israel is obviously giving us something valuable. Intelligence of the entire region comes to mind. Permanent landing pad etc.

WOW!!! So the middle east countries love us for supporting Israel?
So why didn't we have Israel help us in the gulf wars? Why did we have them just sit there while scud missiles were launched at them?

Wrong. The reason they hate Israel and the US so much is because they hate democracy. They don't hate the US for being on Israels side, they hate Israel for being like the US.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

The hate for the big satan would happen even without the it support for the little satan. The issue during the gulf war was that it could not become Israel's war. These countries could be seen fighting alongside Isael. nothing to do with US support which continued at the time including US operated (IIRC) Arrow missle batteries.

Sorry, Great Satan.

Most probably Israel, but that does not mean that America supporting Israel leads to more hatred of America than would be otherwise.

Most probably Israel,
We are getting somewhere today?  :)
So supporting something that someone hates doesn't bring more hate on yourself?
Do you want an example? Before you answer that let me remind you today is Friday so I can use the H and N words.
