Apparently Exxon have huge interests in Russia which are currently blocked under the sanctions. Looks like Trump is draining the swamp of corrupt politicians and replacing them with corrupt businessmen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The hilarious aspect is that most of his thick, supremacist, sister-fucking voters are too thick to realise it. Yup. It's a neocon coup d'etat. It's W+. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will the first big battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It looks like the new Star Wars movie is the new target for the Trumpeting lunatics. Apparently it's an anti-trump propaganda flick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Edited for those who do not know Rand Paul is the son of the demi god of the Libertarians, Ron Paul. They are influential but far from dominant in the Republican movement. So far Libertarians and pro forces patriots are moving. Its a potentially dangerous grouping but far from decisive. Lots of others will be worried about his stance on issues like trade so things could be getting interesting. But time will tell.

It's a sad day when democracy in the U.S. is dependent upon right-wingers arguing the need for non-partisanship in the fight against Putin's Russia. 1 hour ago, Todders said: It looks like the new Star Wars movie is the new target for the Trumpeting lunatics.

I remember watching Star Wars in the late 70's and thinking "This film is just the beginning of a thinly disguised plot to discredit a homophobic, sexist, racist, xenophobic, mysoginistic bigot". I'm glad I've finally been proven right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Paul was trounced when ran for the Republican nomination - as was Rand this year. Most "movement" libertarians backed the Libertarian Party's candidate, Gov Gary Johnson, this year. Johnson got over 4.5 million votes (3.3%) this year, a massive increase to 1.3 million (1%) in 2012. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 What fight against Russia? Hysterical nonsense like that from weak minded fools like you is the sort of stuff that is going to sheperd in ww3. There's no fight against Russia, we've been cooperating fighting terrorism for 15 years and economically for 25. Our government wants a fight with Russia and is trying to manufacture one though and clowns like you lap it up. Russia is no threat to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deplorable Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 So, it looks like this "Russia stole the election for Trump" line of attack is going to be4 the Democrats Birther movement. Does anybody remember when the Obama administration lobbied Ecuador to shut down Assange during the election? Does that not count as asking a foreign government to interfere with an election? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deplorable Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Draining the swamp has to do with the circle jerk of lawmaker to lobbyist to administration official conveyor belt that so many Washington folks rode around on. That leads to backscratching which benefits both the political class and the well connected. Trump is already getting to work on that issue. He said his whole campaign that he was going to stock his administration with successful business people, and that's the reason many people voted for him. Successful people taking time out of their private life for a term of public service used to be applauded. It remains to be seen how they act in office, but there's no reason to suspect that financial gain is their reasoning rather than patriotism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiots the lot of you Of course Britain will not have a war with Russia, and certainly not alone. We only bully... picking on countries that think we can influence and where we have a vested interest. Russia fails both of these criteria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Lobbyists for multinational corporations with massive conflicts of interests.....bad. Putting the CEOs of these organisations straight into positions of power....brilliant idea Which doesn't take into account the fact that career lobbyists are also getting gigs under Trump. Not in the least bit surprised to see the likes of Deplorable defend the Donald's swamp filling activities. Nobody enjoys acknowledging when they've been mugged off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm hearing that Putin forced Chillary into not campaigning in Michigan and Wisconsin, orchestrated her fixing of the primaries, lobbied the MSM into a seemingly endless anti-Trump/pro-Shillary onslaught, made her collapse and be thrown into her mobile ambulance-home, demanded she declare half the population as deplorable and irredeemables, run a campaign on outright divisiveness, etc etc etc etc etc etc. Nothing of the outcome was her and her campaign's doing, of course, it was Russia.[emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
