Have read both Misery and all 8 Dark Towers. Good stuff. Have read around half of King's stuff. Started going back and reading ones I've missed.

I assume you've read The Stand, but both It and Insomina are great books, especially if you've read The Tower

Finished King's CARRIE. Liked it better than The Shining. Not as good as 'Salem's Lot.

 

 

Read The Dark Tower.  It will change your life.

What actions do you want taken?  I loathe the Russians.  But I also know that any serious retaliation for their behavior incurs the risk of WW3, short of a complete preemptive nuclear strike.  So what should we do in retaliation for Russia's actions and new postures?  Keep in mind the country overwhelmingly supported military action in Iraq until they got tired of it.  But a war can't be beholden to how popular it is with the masses.

From what I can find, it's been covered.  The NYT quoted it and other picked up on the quote.  The NYT realized it had made an error and corrected it.  CNN (you know, the "lame stream media") challenged Pelosi's staff regarding the quote and House Dems corrected their own mistake. 

 

See, that's how this is SUPPOSED to work.  You make a mistake, you admit your error, and you fix it.  As opposed to our Liar-in-Chief, who will bullshit us for four years, issue conflicting tweet after conflicting tweet, and never admit any dishonesty.  When asked how the President could have faith in Flynn and then the next day have no faith in Flynn, Conway said that both were true.  It's amazing the degree of conflicting information coming out of this White House.  Even if you're not bothered by the lying, the inability to get the EOP on the same page regarding ANYTHING is incredibly troubling for the security of our country and the soundness of how our laws are enforced and our policies are enacted.

 

 

 

Maybe I missed it, what with the Flynn scandal, but I haven't seen much about immigration at all. 

 

By the way, when the claim was made that Obama had been fairly tough on immigration, you argued the opposite.  Does this mean Trump is doing almost nothing?

 

 

My point was the media harps on every misquote from the Trump administration and it ends up on SNL.  Will they botox up Tina Fey to play Pelosi and have her read shit from internet forums as news?  I don't think so.

 

 

The immigration shit happened a week before Flynn.  If you missed all the front page coverage on every major news source and 300 immigrants groups crying about how Trump was breaking up families and this was the start of his round up campaign, you either weren't paying attention or you're being disingenuous because you know it's a complete farce.  It was literally the biggest story the entire week until the weekend.  

 

And no, Obama shouldn't get kudos for deporting illegals who were convicted of felonies.  Doing the bare minimum your job requires doesn't get accolades in my world, but I know a lot of people believe kids who finish last should still get a trophy.  Trump hasn't done anything because he's been in office less than a month.  Though I guess if 1 month against 8 years is a safe analogy, Trump should be getting his noble prize in economics any day now.  Obama's numbers were inflated because they counted people they turned away at the border. If you used that method before, he'd be a lot higher.  The man let millions of people stay here, and refused to let the IRS notify people when illegals had used their SSN for identity theft.  The length you guys will go to paint Obama is a positive light is absurd.

The immigration/deportation stuff is hilarious. Absolutely no change from how it was handled under Obama. No new focus, no new parameters. No increase in deportations. But the media and left are now running these stories like it wasn't happening 2 months ago.

This is why half the country doesn't trust the press.

Flynn's quitting...and so it begins.

Will get a week of news coverage about Pelosi quoting a fake Flynn twitter account in her press conference?

It's particularly interesting because there's a woman transitioning to be a man who is pregnant and has ceased her meds to not harm the baby. But she wants to be called a father

I read an article that in the UK, the NHS has sent out guidance to quit using the term "expectant mother" because it might offend someone who is pregnant and doesn't identify as a female.  

How dare anyone suggest a vagina is unique or related to being a woman. Tampons in the men's room I say.

Made a quick vist to Gab...took about five seconds to find a George Soros conspiracy theory, links to infowars, and people worried about the white race. 

 

 

I went to stormfront a month ago to see what all the fuss was about.  Anyone who goes there and thinks they've found enlightenment wasn't capable of being a productive person in the first place.  I clicked two threads before I got bored.  Inane ramblings from idiots with a swastika tattooed on their neck, confused why they have a hard time finding work.

When did wanting to keep your identity and community become a vice. Why is saying I want immigrants that make my country better and want to join us rather than change us, compared to the country bumpkin who yells the N word or calls Mexicans "wetbacks".

Trump's not advocating or legislating any act that treats someone differently just because of their race or religion. The majority of Arabs and Muslims were unaffected by this. To conflate denying immediate entry from areas with high concentrations of radical Islamists, to internment camps or the holocaust is offensive. You're not directly doing it, but comments such as fascism or authoritarian are allusions to these past horrors.

I believe it's because you can't argue why we shouldn't take a better look at people coming from Sudan, so the argument becomes about Trump's plan to round up 30 million undesirables and send them to the showers.
