I hope the Republicans and the Democrats kill each other in a bloody second American Civil War and then once it is over and everyone is dead maybe they'll shut the **** up.

Of course I won't be siding with either side. I'll just be the sycophant who pretends to side with whoever emerges the victor to save my own ***. Assuming I don't somehow get killed in the crossfire. :wtg:


Yes. Further war and bloodshed will please the gods!

This is a man who initially couldn't get his travel ban passed since the COURT found his speech to be offensive.

As said - his focus isn't people saying cruel things to each other (hell, his only campaign tactic was to call people names) - it's to find a way to stop people from saying cruel things about him and those in power. Basically, the orange turd wants what Putin has.


He's a megalomaniac plain and simple.


But maybe deep down he's humble so that doesn't matter.

pleasing the gods?
Aztec gods probably; over the top of taking the symbolic litteral ? not symbolic justice at all

What the Aztec priests were referring to was a central Mesoamerican belief: that a great, continuing sacrifice of the gods sustains the Universe. A strong sense of indebtedness was connected with this worldview. Indeed, nextlahualli (debt-payment) was a commonly used metaphor for human sacrifice, and, as Bernardino de Sahagún reported, it was said that the victim was someone who "gave his service".

Human sacrifice was in this sense the highest level of an entire panoply of offerings through which the Aztecs sought to repay their debt to the gods.
Heart-extraction was viewed as a means of liberating the istli and reuniting it with the Sun: the victim's transformed heart flies Sun-ward on a trail of blood.

Or maybe some people here are just as dumb as the right wing party supporters, I mean just because people here may have autism does not make them right.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Cheers, mate. Agree 110%. :mrgreen:

I have yet to meet one Trump supporter that doesn't fit into that mold and similarly I couldn't care less who that offends.

You say that and yet you're fine with Trump turning the government hard right which isn't in the interest for gay nor black people. Plus, if you were you'd listen to the majority of gays and blacks telling you how dangerous Trump has made these times for us rather than restraining yourself to an echo chamber of denial by insisting that Trump isn't a bigot and that he isn't doing harm to us despite the majority of us saying that we know from first-hand experience that he is.

Out-right denial of Trump being a bigot, which is at the most fundamental level, causes it to ring hollow.

EVERY ACTION TRUMP HAS MADE AGAINST THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY (January 2017 - October 2018 thus far) :

Like always though, I'm betting Trump fans will continue to show us they're our ally be yelling "fake news:"

I couldn't care less if Trump supporters find me mean.

I do care however that Trump supporters are running rampant making life hell for minorities and that they're so stuck in their echo chamber of denial that they ignore the vast majority of minorities stressing that's the case. To which you'll once again openly deny proving my point about them.

As said I have ZERO sympathy for Trump supporters and I see no reason at all why I ever should - despite any reasons they could give. I have yet to find one that proves my perception of them wrong.

it is not abuse to point out the damage that That Man's policies [enthusiastically supported in full by every supporter] are doing to this nation and its most vulnerable people.
