The Political Discussion Thread

So China has captured a US Drone and Trump jumped onto Twitter to scold them.

You can't make this stuff up...... Is this how the USA is going to be run the next 4 years?

It's how the USA has been run for 8 years under the guy who's still the acting President.

The Chinese took a piece of machinery, but remember the Iranians who captured US Navy boat with the crew? And how the Iranians paraded the crew on TV and boasted about how much information they extracted from the boat's laptops and satellite phones? And John Kerry praising Iranian restraint through it all?

They should annex some land and set up some settlements instead.
That should be easier soon.

Why is your whataboutery always so hilariously tone-deaf?

Annex some land? Google "Spratly Islands". Then "Senkaku islands".

your point?
"look over there, someone else is doing it too!!"

And look at your Russian friends trying to take over Crimea and other countries. The New USA will be down with that.

Hey Democrats!!
you folks are half arsed wimps, this is how you cry like a child

I wouldn't call that whining or crying. Whining and crying, such as the Dems are engaging in on a national level are fruitless pursuits. Ineffective at best, worthy of ridicule in most cases.

I would call that effectively cutting the opposition's nuts off.

But, aside from one point, I would also call it over the line.

that would strip the incoming Democratic governor of some of his authority and water down his party's control over election boards.

The new law merges the State Board of Elections and State Ethics Commission into one board made up equally of Democrats and Republicans. The old law would have allowed Cooper to put a majority of Democrats on the elections panel.

Neither party should be able to control the board of elections or whatever they call it in that state.

I was kind of irked when i woke up this afternoon (went to sleep at 3am!) and saw trump had tweeted "Let them keep it...'
What the heck was he snorting.

Get used to it.

Probably pissy that China had already agreed to give it back -before- he dropped his "unpresidented" tweet. No capital to be made, poor looser.

I saw that too. WTF? Unless he was trying to make them think our take on it is "we don't care 'cause we have way better than the one they got anyway"

I too find it rather irritating that social networking is replacing proper communication channels, news outlets and so forth. But it's a trend that has been developing long before Trump showed up.

No, that was your point.

My point was that your earlier quip was so cretinous you didn't even notice falling victim to your own attempted sarcasm.

Actually, it was not my point, but I did not expect you to notice.

[aretood2]

To be honest, I don't really know what you two are arguing about...

[Gatefan1976]

Nothing really.
