Great article Nut, an eye opener for those people who think Trump can not seriously damage America's future.

The only enemy is your very own self.

Nothing outside of oneself is the real problem.

Outside of ones self are only temporary problems according to time and circumstances.

Onself creates the material world and it's problems of which the self is not even a real part of.

This is why American politards are always st000pid .....

Can anyone here understand Russian?

Yesterday, the link to this video was posted to a feed I follow, and the response was "Holy sh#t - they just made a statement of threat to DT that implied not impeachment, but much, much worse." Apparently one of the persons says (paraphrase) "Not all presidents complete their terms. Look at history." The commenters seemed to be pretty shocked and felt it was a fairly overt threat, in the manner that Russians communicate such things(which is a complex cocktail of mocking humor, subtle patronization, and controlled delivery, compared to western ways). Like we might say "I'm gonna kick your azz into the next week," but a Russian might say ....well, look at the clip where Sergey Lavrov, after being introduced to the press by Tillerson, is asked by a reporter about Comey's firing.

People asked for translation but it is a long piece and the comments pretty much all agreed - The statement is that Trump is as disposable as the plastic water bottles he has commanded should be allowed for sale in our National Parks.

^^^^

comedy, indeed.



according to bill maher, the average c.e.o. makes 380 X the average worker.

and according to celebritynetworth.com [an admittedly somewhat dubious source] bill maher makes $10000000/yr or based on an average american's salary of $40000/yr a-barely-getting-by of 250 X the average worker.



a big part of the reason for the above situation is that all of the entities that like to remind us of how we should be outraged [on the left people like bill maher, or arianna huffington and her "post"; and on the right, good ole fox news, or for the sake of symmetry matt drudge and his "report"] is that all of it is ultimately there only to momentarily entertain/get-clicks-from us.

arianna needs her sleep, matt needs his potato chips, bill needs his pot and the murdochs... well they need money to pay off all of the sexual assault cases against their employees... hahaha.

and so there is really no motivation for any of them to advocate for actual change. they are just there to entertain or if nothing else give us a momentary outlet for our annoyance/frustration.

oh well... and so it goes...

as always, all will be well as long as we have our bread and circuses.

Yanqui si,
Corea del Norte no


On Sunday, it tested a bomb underground, which was thought to have a power range from 50 kilotonnes to 120 kilotonnes. A 50kt device would be about three times the size of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945.

Oh please Mr. Postmen and Women send up your analyses of the sitch.

Overshadowed by North Korea's sixth nuclear missile test Sunday were reports President Donald Trump could terminate the U.S.-South Korea free-trade agreement as soon as this week. Talk about bad timing.With tensions rising on the Korean peninsula, Trump's brash trade talk will probably take a backseat to the more pressing problem of preventing nuclear war. But even without North Korea's recent escalation, it seems unlikely America will totally quash the 2012 trade pact, known as KORUS.


So even though South Korea represents the U.S.'s seventh-largest trading partner, the North Asian nation sells a lot more than it buys: America's goods trade gap with South Korea was $27.7 billion in 2016, more than double the $11.9 billion deficit in 2007.

You stole Craig Fry's ST login.

Mostly, you post nothing, but negative schist.

Lately, you seem to think we should accept you.

Not a chance.

Schist Schist Schist Fritz! Settle down man.

I stole nothing. I'm drF...deal with it

I post positive stoke....cept' on the d#@&%e-bag politard threads where full ridicule is apropos.

"Lately you".."Accepting" of me?...my desire of such?

Really...is that what you want? I move way faster than you in everything. Just sayin'

Put down that skin bong sir

In the mean time....Ken M copy/pastes altered statements then throws his medicated twists into the mix.

Why don't we replace all the Lee statues with this guys:

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (born Lawrence Joshua Chamberlain, September 8, 1828 – February 24, 1914)[3] was an American college professor from the State of Maine, who volunteered during the American Civil War to join the Union Army.

He became a highly respected and decorated Union officer, reaching the rank of brigadier general (and brevet major general). He is most well known for his gallantry at the Battle of Gettysburg, for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Chamberlain was commissioned a lieutenant colonel in the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment in 1862 and fought at the Battle of Fredericksburg. He became commander of the regiment in June 1863.

On July 2, during the Battle of Gettysburg, Chamberlain's regiment occupied the extreme left of the Union lines at Little Round Top. Chamberlain's men withstood repeated assaults from the 15th Regiment Alabama Infantry and finally drove the Confederates away with a bayonet charge.



In other words, they brought knives to a gunfight (they were out of ammo), and WON.




He was the last Civil War veteran to die as a result of wounds from the war and considered by some the last casualty of the war

Meanwhile DACA death knell is sounded.
I am sure Tim Cook is thrilled that he can replace the best and brightest at Apple with core trump voters who according to all avail data have less education, less motivation and less get up and go to retrain and move to where the jobs are, than 65% of Americans who do not support the DT's.
But of course all that's fake news and corporations will be falling over themselves to hire folks like the trump supporters on ST secure in the knowledge that they will drive their businesses forward with unbridled innovation.
MAGA!

Trump believes it's better to eat like sh#t and not exercise because he lives in bizarro world. Along with anyone who still supports him. No sense trying to explain anything to or reason with these people because they believe in the opposite of reality. Fake reality if you will.
