I just saw Trunp say that Christians from Syria and Europe can not come to America, but Muslims, who are not under attack in Syria can come along with Muslims from Europe, they can come to America very easily. I cant even attribute this one to 'cant be arsed fact checking' or misunderstanding or even bending truth. Its flat out 'I dont give a monkeys about facts, I'll just make stuff up'.

'twas from May

But no one listening is fact checking either. It takes nanoseconds to click retweet or share and suddenly it becomes a widely disseminated "fact" that will never get retracted or corrected.

It used to be that political arguments ended with me being told to take my socialist liberal ideas to Russia

Now that Putin has dropped a few bombs all the Faux News watchers love him - can I tell them to move to Russia?

Fox News viewers may appreciate that Putin and Hollande are apparently willing to do what our Maximum Leader is failing to do, but moving to Russia? Not so much.

Putin's Air Force has dropped more bombs in a couple of days than we've dropped in four months. And he's hitting them where it hurts, in the oil fields, refineries and the tanker truck fleet. Question is why haven't we been hitting such an obvious strategic target? ROE? Who set those stupid ROEs and imposed them on the USAF?

Serious question from someone who cannot understand (and doesn't really want to) the US election milarky: Does Trump actually stand a chance of being President?

I don't think he has what it takes to win a general election, at first I didn't think he could even win the nomination for his party, but I am not sure now..... Strange thing his popularity is.

Because - as with everything over there - it's complicated
Bomb the oil and the 8 million civilians trapped by ISIS suffer - with winter coming up.

Yes, a strange thing. It seems the story about him wanting to register Muslims - although he and the journalist who floated the idea and then attributed the idea to Trump were talking past each other, and apparently Trump's mind at the time was on The Wall - seems to not be hurting him. One good machine-gunning of innocent families out doing their Black Friday shopping at Mall of the Americas by home-grown jihadis might make it seem like a good idea to a significant number of 'Merknz.

According to one poll released today, he beats Hillary 50 - 42%. Of course, at this stage, take any and all polls with a grain of salt.

Complicated choices - an excellent reason for paralysis.

Of course it is providing I'm allowed on the trike. Our PM is a dick but at least he's not a dangerous psychopathic dick

I didn't think this was really being used when I first saw it, but lo and behold it is actually on the FB page for the US Army Recruiting Center in Spokane.

I personally don't think it's appropriate to use this sort of thing for recruiting purposes.
