Re: The Official "Making America Great Again" Thread
The left misses the point that gubment doesn't create anything and is funded by taking stuff from those who do. Don't get me wrong, we need gubment to provide essential services, protect our interests, to referee, provide a basic safety net and a safe environment where producers can produce and all ...

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
I have no doubt that our eff'ed up process will lead to a clown being elected President. The question is do you want the crude talking clown with the best interest of the country at stake, whose policies actually benefit everyone whether they are bright enough to see it or not, or a smooth talking c...

Re: MGGA: Trump has asked aides about possibility of US acquiring Greenland: report
Perhaps Trump should study up on how Woodrow Wilson was able to purchase what is now the USVI from Denmark in 1917 for $25 million (roughly $500 million today).

Re: The Official "Making America Great Again" Thread
Trump, I like 80% of what he has done as President, I hate 80% of what he says/tweets. Trump is a crude, egocentric buffon. He is not the racist that the mlm makes him out to be. Imho he is less racist than Obama. His rhetoric is not the smooth soothing crap that the big O put out, but his actions a...

Re: Homicides By Weapon Type in the US

If I’m reading the 2017 FBI link correctly and your opening post there were more homicides with hammers and blunt objects than with rifles of all types.

Some of this is valid, some not so much. I had to look up the Twin Metals lease and that just depends on how you prioritize a healthy ecosystem.

The struggle is not really along Conservative vs Liberal lines, but rather Urban vs Rural with Suburbia as the battle ground that decides which values win any particular election.
