Horrible game to watch.

Got to hand it to the Pats, 6 wins with the same QB and coach in this era is absolutely phenomenal, with the draft system in place they have a pretty good shout for best professional team of any sport at any time.

And that's coming from an "anyone but the pats" guy.

Are you sure that's what that is?

Foxy,

I know you can read, so this is willful miscomprehension.

Let it go, try and be a decent human

The front page of the Fox news.com website has no coverage of the government shut down

Blah blah blah. Trump not fit for office. Blah blah blah.
Your lot have lost the plot. Not worth debating with you.

You and your boy just folded on the same day! Keep up the good work Foxy.
Next day you debate will be your first.

Frankie Dettori was a brilliant jockey, won so many races, the best the best.

Would rule the UFC, Conor McGregors only experience was losing amateur boxing, Lourdes Celtic and maybe a bit of plumbing.

And almost all bar staff.

Oh and where are they leading your country?

El Chapo might be a better fit

What is the bumbling nonsense you wrote above about?

Lay off the crack son and go to rehab. All this democrat idolising is scrambling your brain.

ok Foxy, let me lay it out for you, as we are aware that inference and drawing conclusions are seemingly not your strong suit .

1. your assumption is that Trump's running of the company that he inherited from his parents in some way qualifies him to run the government and military of the the United states. the second assumption was that AOC's experience as among other things a waitress in some way precluded her from being qualified to represent her constituency in congress.

2. my point is that your assumption is flawed and is the equivalent of frankie dettori being a world class jockey (as opposed to trump not being a world class business leader who didn't pay his staff and faced numerous bankruptcies ) being in some way qualified to be a world champion in the UFC, and that Conor McGregor experience as an unsuccessful soccer player at Lourdes Celtic or amateur boxer in some way would preclude his success.

3. is a reface to Sid's comment about my bar staff reference- I said most- would be better qualified to be president of the US than the incumbent- he said all- I'll agree to go with almost all.

4. you said someone with experience leading the country- my question is where exactly are they leading the country?

5. el chapo's experience at leading his org may be the best possible preparation for leading the united states.

and again for the record- not a democrat, hardcore capitalist, and economic realist. its the economic realism or indeed any ties to reality that has me leaning heavily towards the democratic party in the united states at this point.

and also- if you have even bothered to read this far- can you take some time to think about the direction that you want the united states to go? foreigners out and lower taxes for the rich have zero track record in all of human history of improving the lot of those who live there who do not have a significant amount of accumulated wealth.  if you have kids do you think that the current political leadership (or those of the last 20 years) are building a country for their success either individually or collectively? do you think that a preservation of the status quo of low taxes for the wealthy, increased costs of healthcare and education, decreases of medical coverage for the poor and the elderly and the removal of a social safety net will set up the economic welfare of anything other than the super wealthy? You in retirement, your kids and your neighbors and family and friends are statistically likely to get shafted and not have a support system that enables your wellbeing, comfort and security.

When you have done that exercise, do you believe that leadership of either party is on the way to looking after the people of the country. Short version is that neither are doing a good job, but the idea of leaders looking after the welfare of the country by driving fear based on non existing immigration problems, gay marriage, abortion and gender issues as the foundation of the future is a complete and utter disgrace. Republicans are looking backwards at this point. The leadership of the democratic party is at least aiming for the future, however the fractious, scare mongering, hysterical approach we see from them in the press is a load of crap. They don't present a coherent approach that makes them electable.

Build new infrastructure and fix the breaking system- fix the tax code so that the load of rebuilding the country is fairly spread- make education and healthcare an easily affordable afterthought. Get out of the residents bedrooms, bodies and their living arrangements. Stop calling God and the Rapture. I don't know who can do that, but someone needs to. Whoever can do that and get the 99% to vote in their own interest now rather than pretending that you should vote based on how little tax you'd like to play when you become a billionaire will be a great leader of the US, no matter what party they represent.

Nothing against waitresses but might be better that someone who actually has some sort of track record is leading your country.


Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahha

Look at your trump2020 and read what you have written

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahha

A waitress is significantly more qualifies than the incumbent.

So are most bar staff.

Donald Trump has run a private business worth billions.

Alexandria whatever-cortez experience is cleaning toilets and maybe opening a bottle of beer.


Yes. You're right Hegan.  ::)

What have a border wall and the safety of the United States got to do with each other?

As much in common as the price of bacon in Denmark and a united Ireland

So what you're saying is, Trump owns the government shut down on live TV.  Shutdown into 4th week. US economy suffering. Government workers missing mortgage payments, their credit scores are being destroyed, 30% of affected staff have less than 1 month worth of savings. Trump can't travel anywhere and is losing his shit eating McDonalds in the White House and is being made to look like a spoiled child that lost his Nintendo by Nancy Pelosi (to steal a NY Yankees chant who's your Mammy?)

But you want to pick on the Democrat that went on holiday?

Do you run out of fingers when doing your maths homework?

first of all while I'm a capitalist- not a liberal.
second liberal is not the pejorative term you think it is.

I see that you are struggling with written comprehension of something that you actually put together yourself.

You believe you stated facts about the success of the US, and Central american societies. I called you out saying
Quotespout away, repeat a jumble of incoherent crap that you heard from one racist fear mongering source and claim it as your own malformed opinion, but don't call it fact.

you then speculated on what you see happening in the future- fine - your opinion. You then posted cnn stories backing up your speculation.

now i believe you are seeking an apology from liberals for the last two years- non sequitur

Also the only part that you state as fact is this:


The United States success story is due to the people who inhabited it at the time.
Contrast with Mexico and Central America. Look at the fantastic societies they have built. So good they can't get out fast enough.

Pretty simple to argue with all of those "facts", like the flat Earth.

After that you start with "appears to be" , and "can't wait", both uses of language which are conditional terms and then your own speculation leading to opinion to which you are more than welcome.

So speculate away, spout away, repeat a jumble of incoherent crap that you heard from one racist fear mongering source and claim it as your own malformed opinion, but don't call it fact.

It's not some fear mongering source...it's the liberal beloved CNN.

Fact: http://longisland.news12.com/story/39763068/police-ms13-members-stabbed-classmate-in-huntington-station

Fact: https://edition.cnn.com/2017/12/21/americas/mexico-bodies-bridge/index.html

I await your apology.

I know you are struggling with the concept here- but as far as your own post goes- you are now pointing to news stories that support your speculation of what may happen in the future.

The facts that you pointed to were :

so again without an apology

It must be awful to go through life with such a sense of low self-worth and a disturbing level of self-loathing.
It must be. Any chance you might tell us what it feels like, given that you so obviously experience such?

Come up with something original Sid. That's the sort of response you expect from an 8 year old. You and Eamonnca1 must be swapping notes at elementary school.

Since you are celebrating it, how about explaining how whites being a minority will benefit the US.
Or is this just a case of wanting to be a minority so you can pretend you are oppressed and gain victim status?
Democrats love nothing more than playing the victim.
You're projecting again.  ;D

How does whites being a majority benefit the US?

Whites being a minority would of course benefit the US because the current white majority tends to vote in larger numbers for deeply regressive, racist, kleptocratic politics.

A majority-minority situation would mean that such politics could likely never again win. That would be great thing.

You do realise by engaging with me in such a hostile manner on this subject you're only proving me right, yes?  ;D

Your victim mindset makes you believe I've been hostile Sid. I was asking you questions to understand your viewpoint.

The United States success story is due to the people who inhabited it at the time.
Contrast with Mexico and Central America. Look at the fantastic societies they have built. So good they can't get out fast enough.

This model appears to be the aim for current democrats to force upon US citizens. Who can't wait for the drug cartels to hang people off bridges? Gangs in schools stabbing fellow pupils.

So Sid, is this the new American dream you always wished for?


The absolute and complete lack of knowledge, understanding of history and straight up bigotry in this post is stunning.

United States success story.

Societies built in Central America.

Dunning Kruger, delusions of grandeur, god complex, white saviour narrative.

Is that you DT?
