11631. Ms. No - 10/10/2015 3:02:56 AM What's that saying about if you raise a vicious dog expect to get bit? 11632. arkymalarky - 10/10/2015 6:28:06 AM And they've gerrymandered in such a way that the lunatics will never give up the asylum 11633. judithathome - 10/10/2015 7:15:29 PM I hear these sniveling assholes every single day and I hope it keeps up...right until they get Dems to come in and get a new speaker elected WITHOUT their votes.
That can easily happen...listen, jerkoffs, you may have come to DC to get your way and only your way but that's not how the constitution works...you know, that document you so often allude to....
I'm so sick of these fools coming to Congress and doing NOTHING...you get better pay, better perks, more "vacation time", and all you do is bitch about wanting to tear down the entity that is giving you all this...for NOT doing YOUR jobs.
And to a man, you ALL gripe and moan about the WELFARE STATE. 11634. arkymalarky - 10/10/2015 11:21:40 PM I've noticed in real life that the people who bitch the most about the welfare state are often the biggest slugs, and most of them draw a government paycheck of some form or other. I detest having them as colleagues. They're often deadweights who try to shift work other people when sponsoring classes or clubs. They're loads of fun when you have to test with them. One got mad at me a couple of years ago when I wouldn't switch with him and read a test out loud to a student after he told me I was so much better at that than he was. Yeah right. Having them as relatives is really no fun either. To my aunt, for example: You live off your husband's military retirement and social security, you never worked a day in your life, quit bitching about people who don't have jobs and are sucking money from the state. I love her, I do, but damn. I'm having a real problem finding these people's version of the New Testament. They sure seem to hate poor people. 11635. judithathome - 10/11/2015 6:53:49 PM Well, I could be your aunt except for the bitching about poor people! Ha!
But face it, SS is money people earned during their working careers as is military retirement...I doubt you'd get many long timers to STAY in the military if it weren't for the retirement and health care benefits.
11636. arkymalarky - 10/11/2015 8:35:20 PM she complains about people who are exactly like her. It never occurs to her that they got theirs the exact same way she got hers. 11637. arkymalarky - 10/11/2015 8:42:53 PM She's like the people who tell the government to keep its hands off their Medicare. 11638. judithathome - 10/11/2015 9:23:31 PM ...riiight...while shaking their Medicare-issued canes in the air!!! 11639. judithathome - 12/3/2015 12:31:21 AM Another mass shooting today in San Bernardino....so far this year, we've had more mass shootings in this country thus far than days in the year. 11640. iiibbb - 12/3/2015 8:59:38 PM Kind ironic that a terrorist mass shooting in this country is indistinguishable from any typical mass shooting. 11641. judithathome - 12/3/2015 9:37:37 PM Well, the Republicans have hit paydirt with this last one...a mass shooting with terrorist ties. Now all we need is to find out the shooters had been to mental health counseling and Ted Cruz & Co. have hit the trifecta. 11642. iiibbb - 12/3/2015 9:50:07 PM Only took them like 6 tries? 11643. judithathome - 12/3/2015 10:59:13 PM No shit! 11644. judithathome - 12/5/2015 9:24:53 PM Something posted on my forum at AbleMinds:
Incase you don't know what's happening in the middle east.
👍
President Assad ( who is bad ) is a nasty guy who got so nasty his people rebelled and the Rebels ( who are good ) started winning ( Hurrah!).
But then some of the rebels turned a bit nasty and are now called Islamic State ( who are definitely bad!) and some continued to support democracy ( who are still good.)
So the Americans ( who are good ) started bombing Islamic State ( who are bad ) and giving arms to the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) so they could fight Assad ( who is still bad ) which was good.
By the way, there is a breakaway state in the north run by the Kurds who want to fight IS ( which is a good thing ) but the Turkish authorities think they are bad, so we have to say they are bad whilst secretly thinking they're good and giving them guns to fight IS (which is good) but that is another matter.
Getting back to Syria.
So President Putin ( who is bad, cos he invaded Crimea and the Ukraine and killed lots of folks including that nice Russian man in London with polonium poisoned sushi ) has decided to back Assad ( who is still bad ) by attacking IS ( who are also bad ) which is sort of a good thing?
But Putin ( still bad ) thinks the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) are also bad, and so he bombs them too, much to the annoyance of the Americans ( who are good ) who are busy backing and arming the rebels ( who are also good).
Now Iran ( who used to be bad, but now they have agreed not to build any nuclear weapons and bomb Israel are now good ) are going to provide ground troops to support Assad ( still bad ) as are the Russians ( bad ) who now have ground troops and aircraft in Syria.
So a Coalition of Assad ( still bad ) Putin ( extra bad ) and the Iranians ( good, but in a bad sort of way ) are going to attack IS ( who are bad ) which is a good thing, but also the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) which is bad.
Now the British ( obviously good, except that nice Mr Corbyn in the corduroy jacket, who is probably bad ) and the Americans ( also good ) cannot attack Assad ( still bad ) for fear of upsetting Putin ( bad ) and Iran ( good / bad) and now they have to accept that Assad might not be that bad after all compared to IS ( who are super bad).

So Assad ( bad ) is now probably good, being better than IS ( but let’s face it, drinking your own wee is better than IS so no real choice there ) and since Putin and Iran are also fighting IS that may now make them Good. America ( still Good ) will find it hard to arm a group of rebels being attacked by the Russians for fear of upsetting Mr Putin ( now good ) and that nice mad Ayatollah in Iran ( also Good ) and so they may be forced to say that the Rebels are now Bad, or at the very least abandon them to their fate. This will lead most of them to flee to Turkey and on to Europe or join IS ( still the only constantly bad group).
To Sunni Muslims, an attack by Shia Muslims ( Assad and Iran ) backed by Russians will be seen as something of a Holy War, and the ranks of IS will now be seen by the Sunnis as the only Jihadis fighting in the Holy War and hence many Muslims will now see IS as Good ( Doh!.)
Sunni Muslims will also see the lack of action by Britain and America in support of their Sunni rebel brothers as something of a betrayal ( mmm.might have a point.) and hence we will be seen as Bad.
So now we have America ( now bad ) and Britain ( also bad ) providing limited support to Sunni Rebels ( bad ) many of whom are looking to IS ( Good / bad ) for support against Assad ( now good ) who, along with Iran ( also Good) and Putin ( also, now, unbelievably, Good ) are attempting to retake the country Assad used to run before all this started?
So, now you fully understand everything, all your questions are answered!!!!

Puts me in mind of one of my favorites:
This Land is Mine 11647. iiibbb - 12/8/2015 8:07:52 PM Trump.... jfc.... if there is a God, why doesn't he give that guy a fucking aneurysm right fucking now. 11648. judithathome - 12/8/2015 9:15:36 PM No kidding...he is getting constant coverage on his daily screed on Morning Joe...every show on MSNBC today has covered his asinine Fascist ravings on that earlier show today.
The Republican party HAS to come out en masse and condemn this BS from him or they are going to find themselves with a maniac winning the nomination...not the first time but maybe the most dangerous.... 11649. iiibbb - 12/9/2015 3:21:38 AM My wife posits that Trump doesn't want to be president. That he's been it all along for publicity and a way to make a buck. As far as he's seen it, the longer he's up front the better for his bottom line.
Now he feels it's time to sabotage his own campaign and bow out... but he's only been gaining. At night he's like... WTF do I have to do to get out of this race?! Says something even more bizarre and to his dismay people are eating it up.
He doesn't want to work for a living. Being President is a lot of work. He's not so dumb except he's completely underestimated his base's horribleness. 11650. iiibbb - 12/9/2015 3:22:06 AM He's literally going to have to run over a baby drunk.... and I'm not sure that's going to get him out of this.
