I did not. But use your fake superiority if you must.

... Democrats had better get off their rears and vote to fund it. And give on the filibuster.

You do know that's the holdup, right?

Nope. The mistake was to nation build in a tribal state. Post WW2 Europe, sure. Iran, Afghanistan no.

The post-9/11 invasion. No problem. Kill them, remove them from power, then leave with the warning don't make us come back and do this again.

Again, your ignorance is showing. Saddam worked to hide the fact he had no WMD. He wanted the question to be an unknown to scare off Iran. This shit aint gonna fly post 9/11. Either prove you are clean or we are coming in to see for ourselves. The mistake was, again, to stay around and nation build.

Wrong again, the ISSI/Daesh mindset is a recurring problem. They have, century after century, been put down by the local muslims who get fed up with their shit. The problem was allowing mass migration. The allowed the locals to flee rather than stay and fight and end the problem, as they have century, after century in the past.

The US did not arm the Islamic State. The US fought them.

We took no oil. We defended allies. We took down a dictator who violated the peace agreement he had with the US from the previous war. We took town the after the fact accomplices of 9/11.

Bagdhad was looted by locals. Thank God some of their culture survived in the safe hands of Britain and France.

The Buddhist statues were native to Afghanistan not China. And Buddha was from Nepal not China. Buddhism spread to many areas including Afghanistan.

Repatriation may put art in the hands of ISIS or likeminded individuals. Some of the looted art is safer where it is.

Sorry, politically incorrect, but realistic at times.

This type of translation doe not even really work for technical texts. For other books, they will just lose their soul.

The establishment is probably pissed because it lets people bypass paywall content.

Ask yourself why healthcare is so expensive relative to the rest of the planet. After salaries, the biggest cost to any employer is paying for health insurance. This is problem unique to only the USA.

I'm not scared of China one bit. Their goal to become a super power through mega scale manufacturing and cranking out engineers is loud and clear. Their goal is China first. The past few decades have seen an explosion of Chinese middle class just like what happened here post war.

Contrast to this country. The government is at a standstill because people want to keep their healthcare coverage. Oh sorry we can't allow healthcare because a black guy instituted it.

I mean they give him participation trophies because he owns the course. He really thinks its because he's good at golf.

Amtrak is hamstrung for one major reason. There is a law saying Amtrak gets priority over freight on rail lines. Now here comes the however. Most freight trains are longer than the outdated spur lines. Meaning they can't go anywhere but the destination which causes delays for Amtrak. I'm sure all the privately owned rail lines will make longer spur lines their top priority.

Indeed. Mental food for the dumb.

Clearly. This is deeply malicious and society-destroying.

And in actual reality, the Republicans have all the power except for this tiny bit and it is really ALL their fault. If you have no ability to compromise, you have no business leading anything.

Also a nice occasion to identify zero-insight fuckups. Hint: You are one.
