Well, in truth, the actual Republican strategy is frightening in it’s scope and destructive end results. “Starve the Beast” They’ve been deliberately forcing reductions in revenue so as to force the USA to a place where we have no choice but to totally eliminate all of the programs they don’t like, because we’ll be bankrupt and unable to afford them. That’s right. Completely destroy the US economy and government in order to achieve their results of ‘smaller government’. :smack: They’re no patriots, as further evidenced by how many of them list themselves as ‘Christian’, ‘Conservative’ and other things, while completely leaving ‘American’ off the list. ---

> [@JackieLikesVariety](#): > > don’t bother, the poster who said he believes his “arguments” are self evident was right. Clothy already came to this thread and said “Benghazi” and “Obamacare” so he’s done. I really see Clothahump as a poster child for the Dunning-Kruger effect. It isn’t just that he can’t make a logical argument to support his views, its that he doesn’t even recognize the difference between a logical argument and the one he is making. As far as he’s concerned, the our arguing that that Trump is bad because he wants to dismantle NATO and seems to favor nuclear proliferation, is just the same as his argument that Clinton is bad because Benghazi, but on the opposite side. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Conservatives didn’t give a flying fuck about the ballooning debt from 1981 to 1993, then it was a serious problem from 1993 to 2001, then they didn’t give a fuck again until 2009, and from then to now it’s been a crisis. It’s quite puzzling, really. Imagine the reaction if Obama said “deficits don’t matter.” > [@yanceylebeef](#): > > But thanks for the condescending tone. I apologize for being snarky. I think I was frustrated I was answering questions you already knew the answer to but were pretending not to know. As for whether Hillary is a felon, it’s motivated reasoning all around. I don’t go around correcting people who say OJ is a murderer or that GWB is a war criminal, since they technically aren’t in a narrow sense of not being convicted. It’s just a strange charge to focus on, since it’s quite likely Trump is also guilty of several crimes. Who knows where the 13 year old sex case will go. ---

I remember when Obama let out the terrorists in Guantanamo and allowed them to rape our women and steal our jobs (how they openly raped but kept down a job, I have no idea). Also remember that time Obama personally escorted 100 illegal immigrants from Mexico over the border in Air Force One? And that time Obama intervened and sat on a death panel and voted to kill not only a healthy young white man, but forced his Christian wife to abort her 38 week triplets? Yeah, I wouldn’t want 8 more years of that either ---

Ask her to sweeten his mood by giving him a warm hug, his slippers, and plenty of meatballs. (The above was lifted from a 1980s Friedman Bros. cartoon about the life of Tor Johnson. It always seemed reasonable to me) ---

It always seemed reasonable to me) Tor liked his meatballs. Swedish meatballs are okay, I guess, but the Swedes at church seem to use plain hamburger in powdered gravy. And no sour cream and dill. Where’s that German cuisine thread? Fuckin’ Squareheads.\* Note: Norskies cant cook, either. I was saved by my Bohunk grandmother. - - We Norskies have tried to assimilate the Swedes, whose church up the street failed, for obvious reasons. We rescued them from the Missouri Synod Germans in between. They should be more thankful by cooking better, but whad’ya expect? 😉 ---

Clothahump’s lack of follow-up about the national debt and other points might just indicate that he knows he’s wrong, which I guess is the start of wisdom. ---

Kim Kardashian occurred entirely during his administration. He made us all get gay abortions. The two worst years in terms of number of large natural disasters occurred during his administration (probably God being mad at the gay abortions). The Republicans nominated Trump during his administration. The Democrats nominated Hillary during his administration. The cubs won the world series. Oh and he’s black. ---
