Yeah that was the line I was going to comment on. Trump and lesson do not belong in the same sentence (unless it’s Trump has once again failed to learn lessons from anything).

When Trump owes someone money he either tells them well I’m not paying all of it but here have 50% take it or leave it or he declares bankruptcy. He has never in his life honoured the concept of paying what you owe or sticking to your word. Why would you expect him to treat the US’s debt any differently?

I totally do not get why some Christians insist every word of the Bible has to be taken literally as the word of God. I get why Muslims say that about the Koran - their belief is that it was dictated by God and also has the advantage of not being translated from language to language with translators all adding their…

All women are whores - pay them enough and you don’t have to face justice for raping them apparently. I hope the DA tells him were to stick that. US justice is deeply flawed but it shouldn’t be at the point where you can throw money at your victim to be let off scott free for your crimes. God knows the system is…

Like I’ve said before - the reason he can’t get a suit tailored well is that would involve listening to the advice of someone who is an expert in their field. Trump is allergic to listening.

Uh, he said he doesn’t need to be told the same thing every day for ‘eight years’ to me that looks like he thinks he’s going to be a two term President.

Yeah that was my reaction. I told one of my friends and after some stunned silence she said... he’s got a name twin who’s an actual diplomat, right? We’re not talking about the actual Nigel Farage?

He’s apparently busy thinking about working for Middle East peace because he’s good at ‘bringing people together’. Not joking, seriously, he said that.

His KIDS are getting death threats not just him.

Bush made many bad decisions but he managed to say roughly the right things and look somewhat presidential in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 that’s what enabled the whole criticism is unpatriotic bullshit to build up. What are the odds Trump could ever look Presidential or say the right things after a national…

It’s pretty much how the UK government works - we call them civil servants rather than adults, but it’s the same principle. I mean they have limits - if the idiot PM calls a referendum on Brexit there’s not much they can do but they are basically there to say uh that’s illegal/you can’t actually do that/are you aware…

It’s a pity Christians like this are so often overshadowed by the jackass ones. Unfortunately to truly live your beliefs as these people do by showing forgiveness and not vengeance to their attacker precludes shouting about it from the rooftops like the ones who think they’re living their beliefs by persecuting and…

It’s the possibility of innocent people being executed that makes me against it. I would have no issue this piece of shit dying and it’s obvious he did it so there’s no chance of a miscarriage of justice here (unless he were to get off for some reason) but in the eyes of the law anyone who is convicted is convicted…

While it’s necessary to know what started it really the cause is the least of the issues with this place. No working smoke alarms, no sprinkler system, no fire exits... Those are the things that killed people.

Is she the mixed race disabled vet woman? If so I liked what I saw of her this election. But given the abuse both Hilary and Barack got for, respectively, their gender and race, I think she’d have to be either incredibly devoted to public service (beyond what almost any other person is) or insane to subject herself to…

She hasn’t presently chimed in ... well clearly if a woman doesn’t *come back from the dead* to re-iterate something she already talked about in life it totally must be unimportant.

And even if we didn’t in general, we definitely want to take them away from delusional idiots who shoot up pizza restaurants because of something they saw online...

Given their founder’s history I’m not sure the Freedom party is NEO Nazis so much as straight up regular Nazis.

The trouble is the people swearing to never do it again weren’t the ones actually involved in the peace. Those who were had no doubts about it not being a lasting solution. The French general who signed the armistice said of Versailles ‘this is not a peace treaty, it is an Armistice for 20 years’ and damn if he didn’t…

He’s a devoted fan of a rival team. While I think him making that much fuss was ridiculous it was also pretty predictable given how sports fans get about team rivalries. If the character he was playing was meant to work for the Yankees or something it would have been worth standing their ground over but as the…
