Nope, I provide sources quite frequently.
I always provide sources. Even when they are from the leftiest sites.

It maintains my credibility. You know the bias.

You should try it.

I'm seeing a whole lot of Democrat infighting going on lately. This should prove to be a very interesting debate season.

It'll happen until this fall / winter, until the DNC brass decides on who the "chosen one" should be. Then the media will just edit history to show that person as always being moderate and the clear winner. The thing to remember is that whomever is chosen, they are merely puppets for the top Democrat brass.

Im certain a total breakup of the dems is just a few steps away.

Giving the socialists the finger yet again will have dire consequences.

This? It was on the front page yesterday.

But anyways, didn't Hillary spend 2-3 times more money than Trump and still lost?

It's not how much you spend, it's how wisely you spend. The hot sauce in her purse came from Whole Foods. Nobody who spends money wisely shops at Whole Foods.

That it is reported is not what i mean when i say they are quiet about it.

Theyve spent months gushing over the money pouring into beto and sander etc. Now Trump blows them away and the talking heads have nothing to say about it.

I doubt you can count on the FBI to hand Trump the election again.
Well tell the DNC not to hand the nomination to someone that SHOULD have been charged with breaking laws. '_'

I'll go talk to the RNC about handing it over to Trump....wait, Trump got nominated himself with no help from RNC. Sorry Vuc, can't help ya there.

I should point out Skull, that your right that you haven't taken the idiotic position that Rav here and of course, poor nausi, has that Dems have a turnout problem in '20. I don't even bother wondering what they are basing that fantasy on....
I am watching all my lefty facebook friends tearing Biden down. This kind of thing can easily depress turnout if old Joe actually wins the nomination.
That's what I have been sayin! Except for I don't watch my friends tear him down, most of my friends love shitting on Trump.

Apparently Trump finds it hard to believe Iran shot the drone down on purpose, despite Iran boasting that's exactly what happened. I guess being an idiot in this case is more preferable to being Bolton.

Are you also of the belief Trump placed the mines on the ships himself too? Figuratively of course. Trump couldn't escape the press long enough to physically do that himself.

20K Christians Demand Netflix Cancel Amazon Show
Return to Order claims 'Good Omens' normalizes Satanism


Quote:
(Newser) – Good Omens is getting good reviews, with the Radio Times calling the six-part miniseries "a devilishly funny love letter" to the 1990 fantasy novel from Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, on which it's based. But some 20,000 Christians aren't impressed, having signed a petition demanding Netflix cancel the show released last month, which follows an angel and demon working together to prevent the apocalypse, per the Guardian. Only there's nothing Netflix can do about it; the show, a co-production between Amazon Studios and BBC Studios, actually comes from Amazon Prime....

I'd be more interested if the angel and demon were teaming up to cause the Apocalypse. Saving the world is so boring.

Ever watch Legion? Angels, lead by Raphael, went to kill an unborn child since their Father left them. Michael was supposed to do it but he ended up defending the child.

But you will throw a fit if Trump does something to them. So if he doesn't he's weak if he does he's a war monger? What would you have him do?

Yeah, you're unlikely to get specifics, Slore. Since everything Trump does is automatically wrong, you can't set a specific bar for success. That's why you'll hear that Trump needs to be strong with them, but not too strong. Gotta play that ambiguity game so that your bases are covered.

Wait, we're enforcing new sanctions? Trump's clearly a coward.

What's that, we're shooting missiles at them? What is Trump doing, trying to start WW3?

OMG, we're sending troops there?!? That greedy Trump is starting a war so he can get his hands on some oil!

Now, here's how it works when a Democrat is in office:

Wait, we're enforcing new sanctions? What a brilliant move. Peaceful solutions are always the best.

What's that, we're shooting missiles at them? They forced our hand, it had to be done.

OMG, we're sending troops there?!? Sometimes a Commander-in-Chief has to take bold action, but I'm not going to make a big deal out of it.

Abdicate the Office of President after forcing Pence to do the same while nominating Clinton or someone the DNC picks as next Monarch President.

Yeah this is ***. Iran has clearly been given the go ahead by Russia and China to start misbehaving and we have seen exactly that in the last month. First they mined (?) the Strait and blew up an oil tanker, then they announced they were going to surpass uranium levels set forth in the nuclear pact that up until that point, they were still honoring, now they shoot down a drone. I'm sure next week it will be something else.

All it is accomplishing is illustrating the divides in the Trump administration. This is the part of the job Trump has no interest/knowledge in, he just wants there to be peace on earth so he doesn't have to make any tough decisions. Bolton and Pompeo put out conflicting statements and then Trump has to slap them down, or Trump puts out a ridiculous statement (like he did today) then has to go radio silent because Bolton and Pompeo tell him he is delusional.

Couple of months ago he said his maximum pressure campaign was going to hurt Iran enough to cause them to pick up the phone and call him to make a deal. An idea that was met with ridicule and derision. The sanctions are hurting them, a lot, but they are not gonna be calling Trump for anything, especially now. Nobody shoots down a drone, brags about it, doubles down on it, and then calls asking for help.

Nothing is gonna happen as a result of today. We are already sending more troops over there, which is a clear sign Bolton won that argument, but they aren't going to do anything new. The "maximum pressure" campaign will continue, Iran will deal with it (with help from Russia and China) and Trump will get distracted by something else. Then Iran will have to blow something else up. They are just *** with him. Until they actually attack Americans, nothing is going to happen.
