But there’s something else. Assange hinted prior to the election that the Russians weren’t the source of all the Democratic Party e-mails he published. What if the leak was from inside the Democratic Party itself?

What if Assange’s testimony, when it is forced, shows that the leaker was a disgruntled anti-Hillary Clinton Democrat who happened to be mysteriously murdered in a case that hasn’t yet been solved?

Sorry. It's not actually children. If it were, he would be horrified by
family separation and the clear trauma that causes in children

Every sperm is sacred.

I was disgusted by it and never applauded the administration for doing that, unlike the liberal left in this forum (mainly j wiz mentality, point, gtn, querdi, and sedale), i dont just blindly follow one side and ignore hypocrisies on the aisle i support

[daoneandonly]

He's kinda like Marco Rubio. He only has one talking point programmed.

I dunno, his fixation with little children is starting to border on creepy.

And you and your baby killing brigade (gtn, quedi, point, sedale) only see things from a left, unaccountable perspective. What helps me without me having to pay for it, that's the liberal mantra. Free helathcare, just tax the hell out of the higher income folks, free college education, same way. I took money for student loans, just wipe it out completely.

Is that just one talking point? No, let's talk how the liberals want everything for free without working for it.

And while the humans argue over policy and hypotheticals, the world is literally burning around them...

'We've never seen this': massive Canadian glaciers shrinking rapidly

The rate of warming in the north is double that of the average global temperature increase, concluded the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in its annual Arctic Report Card, which called the warming “unprecedented”.

While short-sighted men engage in petty squabbles ...the white walkers are coming.

And most people don't seem to care.

I don't care...

Climate change: Report warns of growing impact on US life

Unchecked climate change will cost the US hundreds of billions of dollars and damage human health and quality of life, a US government report warns.

Read on Twitter

Now, without mentioning the president, his own scientists have answered their boss' question in comprehensive detail.

Global warming is here in the US, they say - now. It is already deadly serious and without urgent, dramatic change, it will be catastrophic.

This report is striking for two reasons. First, it is not abstract. It gives many specific examples - overwhelmed dams in South Carolina; failing crops in the parched Great Plains; a rise in insect-borne disease in Florida.

And, secondly, it majors on the economic impact, in effect challenging the White House's insistence on prioritising economic growth over environmental regulation.

With warnings about the effects on crumbling infrastructure, falling crop yields and decreasing labour productivity, the report sounds an alarm that climate change will soon cascade into every corner of American life.

Just took a break from baby killing and doing all kinds of unaccountable irresponsible things to post this incredible jam.

What'd you guys do for Thanksgiving? I spent mine performing a couple hundred abortions (I moonlight as an abortion doctor). Murdering babies is one of my biggest passions in life. After that I took my food stamps + welfare check and went down to the strip club and had a very normal and average liberal evening.

You should actually post the videos of Hillary and/or CHuck Shumer fake crying for political gain, it's even more hilarious.

You know what's funny, cause this clearly isn't, I was planning on coming here to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving, cause we can still do that being on opposite sides of any political issue, but the constant name calling and attacks by almost all the liberals here (few exceptions such as dckings, dobrojim, pancake, verbal who actually just post what they think instead of calling those who disagree deplorables, mindless, stupid, etc) made me backtrack

Abortions are hilarious issues, haha. It clearly is a passion for many as evidenced by the "womens march" rigth after Trump's win.
I mean, what was their biggest gripe? Exactly.

Actually, defending funding PP because ppl need help buying condoms, that's the joke, one of the cheapest items out there in the world

If you're looking for a pick-me-up:

‘These children are barefoot. In diapers. Choking on tear gas.’



A little girl from Honduras stares into the camera, her young features contorted in anguish. She’s barefoot, dusty, and clad only in a diaper and T-shirt. And she’s just had to run from clouds of choking tear gas fired across the border by U.S. agents.

A second photograph, which also circulated widely and rapidly on social media, shows an equally anguished woman frantically trying to drag the same child and a second toddler away from the gas as it spreads.

The three were part of a much larger group, perhaps 70 or 80 men, women and children, pictured in a wider-angle photo fleeing the tear gas. Reuters photographer Kim Kyung-Hoon shot the images, which provoked outrage and seemed at odds with President Trump’s portrayal of the caravan migrants as “criminals” and “gang members.”

Trump officials said that authorities had to respond with force after hundreds of migrants rushed the border near Tijuana on Sunday, some of them throwing “projectiles” at Customs and Border Protection personnel.

Unlike the relatively bipartisan criticism of Trump’s now-abandoned family-separation method of deterring migrants, the initial outrage at the tear-gassing of children appeared to come primarily from Democrats and critics of the president.

Some on the right expressed the view that the migrants could avoid getting tear-gassed by not hurling projectiles or by not attempting to cross the border “illegally.”

Trump’s response in an early-morning tweet on Monday was to call for Mexico to return the migrants to their home countries, and to again threaten to “close the border permanently.”

Had the migrants made it to the border and presented themselves as asylum seekers, U.S. officials would have been required by federal law to consider their claim before sending them back to Mexico. Indeed, they are required to do so whether the migrants cross at a designated point of entry or anywhere else.

How long before the U.S. pulls an Israel and starts firing live rounds on people throwing rocks?

How long before the U.S. pulls an Israel and starts firing live rounds on people throwing rocks?

Perish the thought.


NOTE: I honestly believe military commanders would risk court martial and refuse to give those orders here.

No general or colonel wants to end up in the history books as the commanding officer who allowed that to happen on their watch.

Your opinion really means the world to me, please stop calling me that, it hurts

Simpletons are those that cant work hard and want thinks handed to them, i.e., you and your liberal left. I'll keep working at my job and making more in a year than you'll make in a decade

But keep on banking on PP to buy your contraceptives instead of just you know, paying for them yourself.

Nah they're only furious when they have to pay for stuff they use with their own money. Like healthcare, college, loans, contraception, etc.

The White House late Tuesday signed a memo allowing troops stationed at the border to engage in some law enforcement roles and use lethal force, if necessary — a move that legal experts have cautioned may run afoul of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Remember with Trump everyday the morality of the U.S. sinks further and further. Normal was passed a long time ago. All it takes is one person to ignore orders or get trigger happy. And then we’ll have the same sychopants in the news and in congress defending these human rights violations.

I pray to God though that saner heads prevail.

So according to daoneandonly Liberals don’t pay any taxes. Someone should notify the IRS since they’re missing out on a huge revenue stream.

House Dem: Impeaching Trump on party lines would 'tear the country apart'

Rep. Jerry Nadler warned Monday that any impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump that begin in the new, Democrat-controlled House of Representatives would need to clear an obvious partisan bar.

Nadler outlined in an interview...a three-pronged test that he said would make for a legitimate impeachment proceeding, including that the offenses in question must be so grave and the evidence so clear that even some supporters of the president concede that impeachment is necessary.

Once it’s determined that a president has committed an impeachable offense, Nadler said, lawmakers need to consider whether the offense will “rise to the gravity where it’s worth putting the country through the trauma of an impeachment proceeding.”

The New York Democrat, who voted against impeaching former President Bill Clinton, said that the impeachment process must transcend party lines “because you don't want to tear the country apart.”

“You don't want half the country to say to the other half for the next 30 years, ‘We won the election. You stole it from us,’” Nadler said, arguing that “you have to be able to think at the beginning of the impeachment process that the evidence is so clear, of offenses so grave, that once you've laid out all the evidence, a good fraction of the opposition, the voters, will reluctantly admit to themselves ‘They have to do it.’”

“Otherwise you have a partisan impeachment, which will tear the country apart,” he said.
