The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

The rest of us aren’t even in the mood for a quickie with Microsoft anymore.

Looks like you pissed off big fossil reps in the thread, but your one billion percent correct.

How serendipitous! I’m planning a similarly-themed tech embargo! I wasn’t settled on the percentage but 10% seems reasonable and I’m sure I can put AMD into that pie slice.

I too have lost all decorum in such exchanges and simply reply “Oh, well Ok then, liar” in those (fortunately rare) exchanges.

Yes.

Must be stressful, to be amongst a population that just has no passion for a relationship with your country.

2 in the thoughts, 1 in the prayers, sir. And the same to each and every one of the miserable, misbegotten citizens you represent.

I knew this in the 80s when I met one of their racist children while camping. That country was forged on exploitative practices and it’s never recanted or changed, just wallpapered over its flaws and failures with increasingly intricate excuses.

We are finally seeing the effects of the rot below the veneer.

Until it isn’t…

We do.

Do YOU understand how Trump’s America thinks agreements work?

I do, but it really doesn’t sound like you do.

We absolutely can and should cancel the F-35 “deal”. I promise you: the sun will continue fusing hydrogen into helium the next day.

“Don’t separate me from my family.”

Fuck.

You.

Nazi.

Scum.

I hope you enjoy the effects of your clearly well-thought-out strategy.

Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.

To be fair, Trump would be nearly as effective as he is if he weren’t surrounded by a swarm of people who also have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Let’s also not let the body politic who put him there off the hook either; redeeming qualities pretty rarefied among them too.

How about the redeeming qualities of his opponents? Are they both legion in number and high in quality? No?

In fact, a disturbingly large number of your country is irredeemable, or very nearly so. A basket of deplorables, if you will.

Well I guess that clinches it then.

You must work in the legal system or law enforcement if you are operating with such an iron clad definition of the concept of “evidence”.

Glad we have such critical thinkers in the army of truth.

Paradoxically, my tolerance for what the right cares about is at an all time low. If there is a legal standing or cause to try her for treason then do so. Likewise, try any agitators who want to make an example of themselves in the wake of this appropriately.

We live in a fucking society.

Ok but you just asked for evidence and then proceeded to espouse your point of view with as much certainty as OP and not a shred of evidence. I’m certainly cynical about politicians and their motives but you’re not coming across as anything other than speed running hypocrisy in a single post.

It sounds like the mature takeaway is to proceed cautiously with respect to our relationship to BOTH countries.

Hydrophobic demons.

Invading very wet plane of existence.

If they were aliens however, they only had tech to suspend their spacecraft in the air, judging from how unsuspended my disbelief was.
