The only thing so far I've agreed with Trump on is the very hardened stance towards North Korea.
Nobody respected Obama. With Trump he is rebuilding the US military and is not afraid to use it.
Besides upgrading our nuclear bombers to be something newer than the B-52 and upgrading the nuclear program with new tech, what else about our military needs to be "rebuilt"? The only aspect to our military which is lacking is the nuclear side of it when it comes down to the tech.
I don't know, it's what Trump himself said. I can agree with it, because I guess you can never have ''too strong military.''
I wish I could say no one is this crazy.

>1 post with two sentences is rambling
Try several threads where you shout the same shit. Not to mention the fact that you honestly seem to believe Pewdiepie could purchase the WSJ. Insane comments like that only make any of your claims appear even more outlandish.

Ignoring Ian's ramblings on this topic from now on.... I'm genuinely surprised you didn't know this Das. Old media has been scared of new media for years now.
While true, I'm not sure this is a direct case of old media versus new media - at least not in the way that you and Das are framing it.

In related news...The House voted Wednesday to restrict the kind of scientific studies and data that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can use to justify new regulations.

I don't agree with Trump's actions here, but Obama's EPA was a meme. If Trump gets rid of environmental regulations, then they'll just be handled at the state level like most of them already are anyway.
What a terrible idea, leaving environmental regulations to the states.

There's literally no policy on Earth that's going to halt, or even postpone climate change at this point. China and India are shitting out coal emissions like there's no tomorrow. Even if by some international, logistical miracle we all managed to stop emitting CO2, too late, we fucked it anyway.
Maybe it's just the cynic in me talking, but I wouldn't get worked up over a policy that was a fruitless endeavour anyway.
Well yes - but that doesn't mean the answer is to roll back important regulations in the hopes that it will resuscitate an industry that is dying, not solely because of regulation, but innovation. This decision by Trump has only negative outcomes and it's ridiculous to act like it's a silly issue.

I look forward to the tens of thousands of coal jobs this will bring back.

That's the word I was looking for earlier. Political capital. Anyway, yeah I pretty much agree with you. Ryan, much like Boehner, can't really get everyone on the same track.
Healthcare is a terribly tricky issue to address for either party. The issue is that Ryan (And Trump) tried to force this through the process in a matter of three weeks - compare that to Clinton's failed health care overhaul that was introduced in early 1993 and failed in 1994, or the ACA, which was introduced in early 2009 and passed in March 2010. Problem is, Republicans have already begun to rewrite the rules because they assumed they could unite under this bill - Trump directed the IRS to stop enforcing the individual mandate - which in turn threatens to wreck the preexisting conditions requirement. Most people are too dumb to realize this, so if and when the ACA begins to ultimately fail, it'll be immediately hoisted upon the Democrats. We don't know if it was a good thing or not. Anything's better than Obamacare though.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that, after all the concessions and deals that were made to appeal to the far-right House Freedom Caucus, 24 million would lose health insurance that was provided under Obamacare (Particularly to the Medicaid expansion) and the deficit reduction estimates would have gone down compared to the original draft - by more than $150 billion. It was a bad bill, is a bad bill, and it died a bad bill. Do you people think the health care system in the US needs to be changed?
People are very reactionary to health care over here in the states. Everyone likes to complain about the costs, treatment options, etc. Because of that, almost no one in government wants to touch the issue with a 10 foot pole - it's a deeply polarizing issue that has cost Presidents elections and parties control.

Trump overplayed his hand, Ryan got burned bad, and the Republicans lost a sizable amount of political capital only to pull the bill.
This also hinders their future tax reform endeavors.

And before you guys get your libbie cards out, I think that applies with anyone. Photo's can be powerful, but they can also be very misleading. Hence why I linked the Trudeau picture.
My picture culture professor would love you for this.
That's the best compliment I've received all week.
Thank you.
Anything for you bby

>trying to normalize a mental illness
Does doing so impact you?
It serves to further degrade our society.
And does that "degradation" impact you? Prevents you from succeeding? Hinders your ability in some way?
Does it have to for me to care about a certain issue? No.
No, but I find it slightly comical how you generally come off as someone who favors limited government intervention in business and one's private life. Yet at the same time, you act worried about the degradation of society through the so called normalization of transgendered people - a belief that no doubt manifests themselves in new pieces of legislation such as religious freedom laws and legislation aimed at where someone can use the restroom. The two lines of thinking simply don't align with one another in current American politics - and the fact that you can't seem to pinpoint how normalizing transgendered people and their mental illness impacts you indicates, at least to me, that you simply want to make a lot of noise without actually contemplating what it is you want.

But they are freaks. It's abnormal
Abnormal? Yes, but not wrong.
Did I say it was wrong? You do you, but that doesn't change that it's not normal
No, you did not say it's wrong - but let's not act like using words such as freak and abnormal connote any sense of endorsement of approval.

It's amazing to watch the same people who praised WikiLeaks for Clinton's emails to vilify them because they dare messed with US intelligence.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he met with the ambassador as part of his job as senator and not as part of Trump's campaign, it wouldn't be perjury to say as much.
Yeah, the perjury line is a bit much. What is interesting is that Sessions was the only member of the Armed Sevices committee to meet with the ambassador last year - and meetings in that line tend to fall under the jurisdiction of the foreign relations committee.

Why is this in Serious?
Why shouldn't it be?
Cause Star Wars is shit, duh.
Star Wars is shit, but this is to do with (once again) the idiocy of universities.
I look forward to watching the same 4 members beat the dead horse into submission then.

Also this.

Another guys on Trump's team, maybe Flynn, had a lot of connections with some rich guy who supported a Pro-Russian president in Ukraine. Something like that. She had a whole video dedicated to it.
As much as I love Rachel, that connection is a bit...flimsy at the moment.

XThen-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) spoke twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions’s confirmation hearing to become attorney general.
One of the meetings was a private conversation between Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that took place in September in the senator’s office, at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race.
The previously undisclosed discussions could fuel new congressional calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russia’s alleged role in the 2016 presidential election. As attorney general, Sessions oversees the Justice Department and the FBI, which have been leading investigations into Russian meddling and any links to Trump’s associates. He has so far resisted calls to recuse himself.
When Sessions spoke with Kislyak in July and September, the senator was a senior member of the influential Armed Services Committee as well as one of Trump’s top foreign policy advisers. Sessions played a prominent role supporting Trump on the stump after formally joining the campaign in February 2016.
At his Jan. 10 Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, Sessions was asked by Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) what he would do if he learned of any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of the 2016 campaign.
“I’m not aware of any of those activities,” he responded. He added: “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.”
While Sessions surely won't resign, this is going to put pressure on Nunes and Chaffetz to create select committees to investigate, considering that the DoJ is the one who released the news on the conversations.
