The 2020 Presidential Election

[Absolem]

Mexico will pay for the war with Iran.

 

[St. Phatty]

Mexico will pay for the war with Iran.

Mexico was crushed when oil prices fell, since Pemex is a major source of revenues for the Mexican government.

If oil prices stay high that part will be good for Mexico.

They are pretty much Toast against the drug cartels.

The Yuppie types I've talked to say having an AR15 is fairly standard for Mexican families.

It's illegal for them, but nothing like an American being caught with a weapon in Mexico. Just something they do to cope.

It's just a matter of paying the fee promptly. The fees are an art form. Not too much so it looks like you are buying them and not so little that you are tying to screw them. Don't ask how I know.

 

[Bud Green]

U.S. fifty dollar bills go a long way in getting you out of trouble in rural Mexico... Or at least they used to....

 

[Zeez]

Depends on what you want or what they've got on you.

I've gotta ask, Is that Mr. Greenjeans?

 

[TychoMonolyth]

I have a few good Ecuador money for safe passage stories. One funny, and one got me stabbed in the arm because I was crushing his wind pipe like a coke can.

Pix or it never....

 

[CaptainDankness]

We’ll just borrow more money to pay for war.

It's all we do, this is Bush and Obama all over again, only this war is going to need a draft with over 80 million people in Iran they said, and we can't just leave Iraq during this shit show.



I'm just hoping I'm too old for the draft. Lol, if not I'm smoking weed only reason I didn't join years ago. I wouldn't have had that month to find a decent job and get some pussy, just to realize I didn't want to go to Iraq.

Looks like Hillary Clinton will be serving as Chancellor at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland through 2025. Coincidentally, This will encompass the remaining years of the Trump administration. It is worth noting that Northern Ireland does have an extradition treaty with the United States, However, Northern Ireland does not extradite if the person would be facing the death penalty, unless Northern Ireland also punishes the same crime with the death penalty. While Northern Ireland used to have a mandatory death penalty for treason, this was done away with in 1998. So, it looks like Hillary will be safe, in Belfast, from extradition to the United States for the crime of treason.

I’m curious to how many of the war bots here actually served and how many who didn’t and are willing to let others die in their place to support their “line in the sand “ ideology.
AKA Trumpers.

I don’t know that it matters. Back in the Posse Comitatus days (‘80s?) and up through Desert Storm, the military was very picky about who they would allow to STAY IN. Soldiers are soldiers and none of that divisive bullshit in our beloved corps thankyouverymuch. The turnout was a lot of discipline problems surrounding race p, religion, and other such were cause for dismissal, and a lot of those dismissed left with basic training under their belts and gravitated toward militias. Possible that many if not most never saw combat, but we’re in the forever war, now, so how many of them have been left alone to stew over their disgrace and their misplaced anger and arrive at a place of ‘needing to take action’.

I wonder how many people realize how many police and sheriffs departments went on hiring sprees when the Desert Storm troops came home. Combat veterans, is what they wanted. Tiny places in the middle of nowhere as well as metro areas and college towns wanted - and would prioritize combat veterans to patrol their trouble-free streets.

And look, we have police executing citizens in the streets like never in our history (kinda on the back news burner now), and it’s always okay, they’re just doing their job. But why did SO MANY widely dispersed communities of all sizes specifically get on the ball for hiring vets fresh from combat to staff their much less exciting non-war-zone neighborhoods?

It’s a fact it happened, I was tipped by family who served and was exposed to it, and I looked into it myself. If you want to know why our communities have been becoming more violent today, I think that’s a smart thing to look at and a stupid thing to ignore.

we've been illegally occupying Iraq since 03. they know the risks and trump escalated. plain and simple.

we should have precisely 0 troops, contractors, and whatever else in Iraq, which is a failed state now thanks to the US.

they gave trump two increases to the military budget, as well as a space force lmao. you don't think they're gonna try and use it? lol they probably want Iran to retaliate so we get sucked into another conflict.

“Contractors” my ass. Mercenaries. Literal guns for hire. On the loose, in America’s name, in a land full of brown people. We are not talking tourists, were talking the same profession that insane massacre that got Blackwater in so much trouble the ended up changing their name to ‘she’ (‘Xi’ phonetically)...

I suppose I’m just an asshole if I point out that Blackwater, of 16+ murdered Iraqi civilians in broad daylight for absolutely no actual reason, is owned by Betsy DeVoss’ brother, Eric Prince? Who loves him some Russian and Turkish oligarchs and runs the largest private army in the US? And is notable for a number events whose guest lists made *his* presence highly questionable? And has been yet another potential hand grenade due to involvement in Trump’s affairs?

And of course, the DeVoss family is rich because AMWAY.

All is true and verifiable and I’ll bet no one checks any of it

Than why not attack North Korea. We do not belong in these hostile countries. No one would die if we aren't there.

Trump screwed the pooch again. He has no idea how to conduct foreign policy. He constantly says he doesn't trust our intel tossing them under the bus. Than says our intel says he was planning attacks. It total BS. You cant have it both ways.

He has no idea how NOT to screw whatever pooch is at hand. Like the story about the scorpion and the otter. IT IS HIS NATURE.

I suppose, suddenly, I kinda get where the religious extremes gets wired in here. It’s kinda like out of control children, over tired, scared that mommy and daddy aren’t back yet and it’s dark and anxieties sync up and the pitch builds and they can’t *stand* anymore and they start doing EVERYTHING THAT WILL GET THEM IN TROUBLE. More. Harder. Worse. Worse. WORSE.

The ritual invocation of the abandoning parent, the apocalyptic tantrum that shreds the final illusion: we will MAKE THEM COME BACK AND PUNISH US BECAUSE IF THEY DONT....

Because. If they don’t...it means it didn’t happen. It wasn’t that story. It wasn’t that story, either...but here and there, pieces...but that story has just been a story and and it is just us...and it is all ON us to make better stories.

Wars are escalated by fools afraid to look weak to their base.

Exhibit A: Pappy “Don’t Call Me A Wimp” Bush, and Operation Rattling Saber

Gypsy is cool and explained his reasons before. Don't like it - Don't read it or don't post. The topic has it's share of bickering and pure idiocy, that's life. There has been allot of interesting insight and piecing together of facts as well.

I'm curious who has money on the table in Iraq Is there a big oil company that stands to make a score and does not want Iran to pull the carpet on them?

Saudi Aramco is the big player: the House of Saud and the US oil industry. Getting ahold of Iraq’s oil was the tip of the spear on that one. Desert Storm, I mean.

Just in the news is discovery of a big new oil region Iran...

Coincidence? I think not!

I see it more like some people trying to have an intelligent conversation while others are constantly try to disrupt and derail. It's best to pass on the bullshit and stick with the higher IQs. I seriously think that some are the junior varsity for the people who hope to throw another election with bullshit.

Agreed. I feel like the engagement here has improved and strengthen my argumentation and communication skills. Many worthy voices here

Still denying Trump was impeached?

They’re denying Sparkle Motion itself
Deny everything - change nothing

Then why do you never say 'That's worth considering'? It is always 'I am right and you are wrong.'

He/they imagine that truth is like some single thing that counters other true things thru faith or something. My experience over the term has been that they never think about whether what they say makes sense, they never consider that a trusted source may have given them bad information - and because trust, they never back-check, they accept as true and build from there...and damn the consequences, until they fall.

What if a US Navy Seal Sniped an unarmed young Iraqi girl for fun?

He gets a presidential intervention in military discipline that disrupts and undermines the chain of command. And a bunch of digital patriots celebrating his right to kill as when and who he chooses. What a hero.

Make no mistake, the drone strike is serious: Iran and Iraq are both Shiah majority countries. If Gallagher was in Iraq, then his actions, his treatment, with the drone strike, could push Iran and Iraq into a much closer arrangement than they’ve had since the Persian Empire

As exhibited in Packer's last 2 posts. Can't hold the insults. I could state why but that would be insulting.

I keep telling myself, ‘he can’t be talking to people like this in real life, WTF?

Nice story Hempy.

"The role of chancellor at Queen's University, located in Belfast, is largely ceremonial. Clinton will act as an ambassador for the university as well as an adviser for the vice chancellor, and she is expected to participate in graduation ceremonies."

Gee, I wonder if she will purchase or rent a home there??

 

[Hempy McNoodle]

But, you know me. I'm no 'coincidence theorist.'

 

[Hempy McNoodle]

All I'm saying is that these things are worth noting.

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Here is another reason that Trump will win.

This link shows about 100 incidents of pro abortion supporters attacking anti abortion displays or anti abortion people.

I went threw the list and counted 18 assaults by pro abortion people. Some were elderly people. And these 18 assaults do not include the car that tried to drive over someone or when urine was thrown on another. These were when people were physically attacked.

These were from this year alone. This was not reported on the terrorist list that PEW claims show the rise in right wing assaults. And is why PEW is not a trusted source.

This is also why the right claims that many news organizations are fake news. They refuse to report what does not support their view point.

There will probably be an increase in prominent people stepping down from powerful positions, suicides, unexpected deaths and faked deaths as indictments get closer to being unsealed in 2020.

 

[Hammerhead]

Did they find it in Iraq?

No, its in the same region as there other oil fields.

Mike Pence claimed Solemeini was involved in 9/11. and a legion of deepstate media try to discredit him, with out any evidence, they did cite the corrupt 9/11 commission report, lol. Things are really getting interesting fast.

 

[White Beard]

So he’s a cheap whore. Still a whore.

BM seems to be struggling with the concepts involved in nepotism: typically a make-work position with a fat paycheck and no actual functions, given to a relative or to the relative of a friend or close associate.

Nice story Hempy.

Talk about derangement syndromes: just can’t imagine what “nothing to investigate” might mean, so spell it “crime of treason”

 

[Hempy McNoodle]

No, its in the same region as there other oil fields.

It's on the Iraqi border.
