I've been waiting or something..ANYTHING...interesting to happen for so GD long. Three and a half years (really much, much longer!!!!) ...so...it's a struggle to get my hopes up again. As in, the meter lifts a tiny, tiny bit then returns to baseline. Shit, I was told a madman was getting elected and all us gays and pot smokers would be in FEMA camps by now. That Sessions and Literally Hitler would have us ALL IN OVENS already. No such luck.

Crap, that's embarrassing. Dude, where is his dad? Protein shakes and core exercises. I told you all that the Left can't meme and has lost the ability to think on their toes and create a new idea to save their fucking lives. They're clearly stuck rehashing old shit (like this dumbass straight outta the 60's with the pin and quasi-military ((colored)) shirt and everything). Just cringey as fuck. Yuck,.

Donald Trump does seem to be a lover of the titties. lol. But, not sure two strongly ego-centered personalitities like him and Russ Meyer would get along, for long, in the same room? Funny idea.

At what point does transgressiveness, as a matter of form, have any internal consistency and not pass into 'evil'? Boring as it may seem, constantly toeing the line of good taste, of what is acceptable, or striding and dragging you foot across the line to destroy it, and you'll eventually pass over and get burnt. You'll be mingling and caught up with the real fucktard baddies.

So anyways, stay away? I dunno. I'm confused about it. Whatever hurts other people (or animals) is off limits. Pretty much where I draw the line. Though I stil eat meat, so...wtf?

"Donald Trump isn't a stuck up prig and he doesn't give any credence to the hot-air gasbags who gatekeep and take themselves so seriously but can't see the writing on the wall. He by-passes the career politicians who've mired this country in partisan bickering as the economy flounders and our enemies flood the gates. Most of all, he's a transactionalist that values deeds over words."

There y' ago, people. Saved you a thousand words.

Oh, also, +1 for the link but... I don't think this person's evidence supports the conclusion that people are fleeing Democat run states for Republican. Texas makes a ton of gains due to illegal immigration. And, by his/her own words it's about 50/50 as far as the losers of population. I mean...Alabama? Deeply, deeply in the pocket of Republicans.

Different states, different cultures, different demographics.

Red/Blue, GOP / DEM is too basic to be of use when talking about why millions of different people move all over the country.

P.S. Bert Sperling, bless his soul, quit publishing his books on this topic. Anyone have an idea why that happened? I used to really enjoy those things and his website is filled with errors and unreliable info from insane people leaving multiple comments about the city they hate. lol

I love the infrastructure, park space, and investment into it's own people that Portland has. Coming from Texas where you drive 2 hours (or much, much more) to get to a scrap of public land...that you then have to wait 30 minutes in line just to drive into because everyone else from the city had the same idea and now there's not a place in that land where you're alone for more than a minute, coming from that...I'm very, very thankful for some of the Left's policies. Also, for being "anti-nanny State", Texas has a huge hard-on for punishing people for choosing a safer alternative to alcohol, much like many of the dark-red GOP states that still want to nanny State decide for their citizens what to smoke, drink, etc.

That was a plus for Trump. More on that later.

Also, Texas has a crime problem. Throwing people into long jail sentences for relatively harmless crimes has blossomed the gangs in Texas to a disgusting degree. Most large metros are grubby, in the extreme and filled with shitty gangsters walking down the middle of the fucking street like total assholes. Etc. I could go on...

Trump appealed to many of us because he seemed like a change from the old GOP policies of Drug War, Small Government (that still is in your bedroom and medicine cabinet) and etc. And also not a Leftist who wanted to word police and have the state get involved in social warfare between cultures.

Mainly, the big thing was the border, which nobody else had the balls to bring up because they're spineless politicians who look at polls before saying anything and politics desn't reward sticking out from anyone else.

The border, and bringing troops back and investing that money into our own contry.

The best of both sides.

We got (most of) the border. We got (most of) a deescalation of foreign wars.

He flipped as far as raising taxes on the 1% ( something he said he'd "look into" during the RNC primary).

That's life. Overall, I'm still satisfied with my choice in 2016.

Maybe next time we'll get a true "strong border, isolationist, higher tax and more investment in our own cities vs Iran, Iraq, other side of the world and Ukraine where the prying eyes aren't so keen to pick up on graft of our pols"?

We have problems that are going t require a vast tool box of solutions to fix.

Partisanship and being unwilling to give and take just freezes this country into a gridlock of paralysis.

Basically people are mad because when anyone clicks on that WaPo link, the host of that link makes money (from our data and just from advertisers who look at how many clicks a website gets in determining how much to pay for ad space.)

So, when someone links directly to, say, Washington Post, CNN. NYTs, or other very, very progressive, anti-Trump "news" websites, those sites get hundreds or thousands of new clicks and more money to fight Trump. Thus, spreading the word to use sites like archive.is or Internet Archive, Wayback Machine's "save page now" function

Why not do it yourself as you inform the site about how to archive? 48 upclicks and no archived link? Shame, pedes. Shame shame! E: though good alternative links ...that may not always be the case and we all had to start somewhere.

So anyways, loverly nubs, just look up: website hosting. Wayback Machine has an "archive page" or "save page" function and archive.is usually works fine as well.

"Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no ‘hate speech’ exception to the First Amendment" [WaPo]: https://archive.is/GHL2T

Also, just to be Devil's advocate, the Leftist response to "No such thing as hate Speech" is "Fighting words". Here's a link to that idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words

Jeremy Christian, a very confused individual by any accounts, got caught up in this debate...in real time. And not much nothing good came of that.

win for the students and a win for our Veterans! #FixIt

Creative solutions are what the Right needs to be all about. I'm glad to see new, unique fixes (that do not include tons of money wasted through a gauntlet of big government hands before finally trickly drip of funds arrives at final location needing help).

Persian, not Arabic. Is that the over under here, pedes? I once asked a corner store cashier if he was Persian or Arabic, totally innocently, I didn't know all the history or whatever had just read something and thought I'd make small talk. This mf'er looked about ready to throw down right there. "Arabic", lol, as you might have guessed, was his answer.
