If you dig into CIA history you’d wonder what good things they’ve ever done...

yeah, we do it. we're not the only one to do it. we are also not the only one who cries foul more when it's done to us, than when it's done to other countries.Headhunter wrote:Huh?

We are by far the biggest perpetrators.

Newsom's next big relief after illegals is student loan debt. Not to talk too much shit as it's needed, but big surprise, what do most students do? Sit on their ass and don't contribute shit. Let us play the trumpets for getting us back out there.

Election interference seems to only occur when it's the person you don't want to win. Convenient!

The same people raging about staying at home are the same people raging about Trump putting a temporary ban on immigration.

Re: Random Political Comments
Why are people criticizing Trump for furloughing a bunch of his Mar-a-lago employees? I only saw a headline and cant watch videos at work. To me, that is not a bad thing. Even my work us doing it. They get to keep benefits, collect unemployment, and still have their job.

Re: Random Political Comments
Not sure how it’s working there to be fair. But here that jeans getting government cash whilst retaining corporate benefits so would if the same be a conflict of interest and independence threat. Though at this point worrying Trump is unethical is like worrying water is wet.Jmac Attack wrote:Why are people criticizing Trump for furloughing a bunch of his Mar-a-lago employees?

YouTube is removing videos where people are explaining Trump isn't telling you to drink bleach.

Nope. Only independent journalism, especially conservative-leaning.
