    Might want to resize that pic before you get tapped. You know how some people are always looking for excuses.

    I knew that stupid slogan sounded familiar. As if I needed more reasons to loathe Trump supporters.

    Oh it doesn't bother me personally at all; I don't read these forums on a phone. But I've seen other people get infracted for smaller images than that in this subforum and You Know Who loves to pounce on it.

    And the fact that 45% of the State (mostly the empty parts that aren't farms or filled with people) are Federal lands. Run by the Federal Government.

    "Gaslighting" originated by someone turning the lights dimmer and dimmer. There is no better term for the audience of those tweets.

    This changes everything.
    That's the most embarrassing part of the whole story. The 10 billion dollar wall was breached by a 50 dollar cordless saw with 10 dollar tungsten steel carbide hardened blade.

    Not a fancy armored vehicle. Not a rocket launcher. Not explosives. Simply a plain Home Depot bought tool that came out to be less than 100 dollars with tax. They need to ban cordless reciprocating saw.

    Worth noting that "Make America Great Again" also appeared in 2013's Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. Nothing Trump has is even kind of original. Probably a coincidence, but still hilarious.

    While Raiden's response is the most appropriate, the phrase has been around in political slogans since at least the 80s.

    Well, he straight up admitted to stealing the slogan from Ronald Reagan.

    Virginia has the best Unemployment and Economic numbers in the history of the State. If the Democrats get in, those numbers will go rapidly in the other direction. On Tuesday, Vote Republican!

    Nice of Trump to endorse the Democratic leadership of Virginia.
    Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

    Both Senators, 7 of 11 Representatives, Governor and Lieutenant governor--all Democrats. Good fucking grief he just doesn't do ANY thinking. I'm amazed his addled brain still remembers to send oxygen through his limbs.

    Or something? I don't know, it's hard to understand what Trump is saying.

    I think Trump honestly believes it's justified to fuck over any area that didn't vote for him. Even if you had the opinion that it's okay to screw over voters in the opposite party, there's still millions of republicans living in California.

    Having a president who is actively against an entire state and is working against and threatening it seems like grounds for impeachment to me. Seems like a violation of his oath of office.

    One would assume this to be the case. Unfortunately we're in a world where Trump and the GOP find everyone that is against them as domestic threat, and should suffer for it.

    Thankfully California has time and time again stared him down and spit in his face whenever he's tried to pull any nonsense with them.

    Trump can't strongarm or quid-pro-quo California; he has nothing they want or need. So he resorts to trying to debase them in any way he can.

    That kind of thing bubbles up in threads around here, with the usual suspect posters picking up some off event that occurred in California and conflating it to how "terrible a state run by liberals is"

    Highest GDP of any state; almost twice that of Texas, the next leading state. And that just enrages Trumpkins.

    No he doesn't. He's an unrepentant liar. Why pretend he doesn't know he's lying?

    Not only that, but all those businesses that left California for Texas... did not seem to harm California - others just rose to replace them. And the California businesses that moved to Texas are part of the reason that Texas is becoming purplish.

    If Texas could JUST GET ANOTHER SET OF BUSINESSES TO MIGRATE FROM CALIFORNIA TO TEXAS. California would not be hurt, and Texas would be much improved as it went past purple to flat out blue.
