Moving the US military into the South China sea won't cause any problems with China? Allowing the fastest growing economy to move in and replace the US in TPP, won't have consequences? |

I think the main problem is that the whole thing just morphed and became so huge, that organisers at the local level may have had entirely different goals to those on the national level. That's why I don't believe it can be pigeonholed into a single specific, narrow cause. |

Show me one post where I called you a racist. Just one. You do yourself no favors. Rather than argue your case, you wallow in self pity and drag me into your weird persecution fantasies. Just grow up. |
Re: yep it's already started!
Can we note, for the record, that Pulaski and Wintersong have been having a debate over pages and pages and I made no attempt to interfere or interject myself into their conversation.
It was Pulaski who dragged me into this conversation. He can't seem to stand it when I ignore him. |
Re: yep it's already started!
Can I ask if it's normal at the beginning of each new Presidental term, that there is a total (almost) government agencies media blackout?

There are fewer facts in that post than in one of The Orange One's tweets. |

Apologies if this was off topic BE style. I thought the thread was about the changes Trump has started to make. I guess I totally misunderstood the topic behind this thread.

It was Pulaski who dragged me into this conversation. He can't seem to stand it when I ignore him. Speaking of which, are passive aggressive karma messages something that the left wingers among us indulge in, or is it entirely the purview of the right? |
