    Lack of evidence for that aside, if it has slowed progress - as Graham clearly indicates - then the deal is not ineffective.

    If the deals goal is to slow progress rather than prevent I would agree it was effective.  We slowed the Norks down too with deals giving them food to feed their scientists.  Anyways Trump gave the Iranians an out to military retaliation if they claim one of their generals went rouge.  Maybe he is privy to intelligence and that is actually the case but I highly doubt it.

    Apparently you say whites are dumb too so I’m not sure what the hub bug is about. It’s actually racist not to be able to say black are dumb 🤷‍♂️

    When Gut has posted about people being "stupid" he is not calling out a race.  The context has been at times is traditionally a white demographic but when its black the race card gets played.  He clearly posts about people in general.

    Was it really?  Lindsay Graham today was saying if Iran fires things back up that they would be days away from being a real nuclear threat.  Which doesn't make it sound like Obama's deal wasn't working.

    Stealthily slow walking to become a nuclear state does not indicate a deal is working either.

    He was talking about black people and I summarized the post accurately. I didn’t say he was racist you are reading too much into it 

    I read exactly what you implied it to mean.  Like I said Gut's post's where he actually uses the term "stupid" is in reference to a mainly white demographic.  Take the shackles off.

    I didn’t say he was racist but his post directly implied that black people aren’t smart enough to pick the candidate based on the issues that they believe in and instead suggested they are voting Democrat so they can get reparations. I responded with the main reason people vote democratic in my op

    His post did not imply that black people as a race are inferior, not smart, or unable to make logical decisions.  Like I said Gut has posted many times about the stupidity or ignorance of people.  When the context is white people race is not brought up.  You chose to add "so black people are stupid".  Yes many are along with white people.  Fact.

    Free yourself.

    Yes because black people are stupid 

    This is an example of how the game is played.  Gut made a comment about a specific situation with a specific context.  But Gut is painted as a possible racist because he thinks black people are stupid.  I have read many a post from Gut actually using the term "stupid" to define people and they were in reference to white people.

    Most people are what is your point?

  • Also how disgusting is it that the democrat party is still shamelessly using black Americans.  All of them know damn well reparations are not feasible.  Yet giving impoverished black Americans false hope and using them as props in their political shit show is just collateral damage in securing their political power.  Its a fucking farce and they all know it.  The sad thing is the people that have been duped into participating in this political theatre.

    There is not a single person alive right now that owned slaves, so it is not "our" sin, it was THEIR sin. The people who did it, no one else's.

    Not to mention many payed for THEIR sins with THEIR lives or the lives of THEIR loved ones.

    This is why this whole concept of defining people by something that occurred centuries ago is foolish.  This is why I jokingly refer to myself as a native American.  Which in all present day factual reality I am.  I don't feel at all guilty for something people did hundreds of years ago.

  • If any reparations are to be paid it should be paid by the DNC.

    95% of Orange Man's "lies" are him simply spouting off without the facts. While I certainly get that having an uninformed POTUS isn't anywhere close to ideal, the "ZOMG DRUMPF LIEZZZZ" schtick is pretty silly. 

    I would add that a large number of Americans are sick of politicians spouting off scripted talking points which are actually 95% lies as opposed to a dude throwing shit up against the wall.

  • The American people back then wanted nothing to do with the war in Europe.  But I have no doubt presented with a righteous cause like that generation, this or future generations would rise up as past generations have.  

    Listening to some of the stories of young men leaving their newly wed brides to possibly never see them again.  Bouncing on the choppy seas of the English Channel knowing I am about to face a hail of metal waiting to tear into my flesh.  I think how could I do that. 

    Approaching 50 I will thankfully never have to wrestle with that.  And many thanks for that to those that had to.

    I actually just crossed paths with him a couple weeks ago in DC.  He is tiny. /coolstory

    I know politicians are liars, hypocrites, and loathed for it.  I saw an interview with him today where he basically said the prosecutor Barr appointed to look into the origins of the Russia investigation would sully his reputation if he took part in it.  Given Blumenthal's history the more I hear from this guy the more I find him particularly loathsome.

    Pretty funny watching poor Beto fall out of media favor so quickly. 

    Saw some clips of Beto on the View.  He clearly turned in his testicles at the door.

    So the Ukraine/China stuff with Biden and his son is pretty interesting.

    Very interesting. And with Biden's current campaign rhetoric concerning China one of those calls from world leaders Biden boasted about "begging" him to run to "save the world" from Trump", came from China.

    To deny the fact that there are factions of people in DC that run black ops stuff for political reasons is crazy.  Shit happens

    Yeah like what kind of batshit crazy nutbag would believe 5 political partisans would conspire to break into the opposing parties headquarters.

    I'm talking about this "deep state" stuff.    

    Why are you so rattled by the term "deep state"?  Is it just who is using it?  Or does it just sound scary?  Its really not any different than "the establishment" or "the mainstream media" in their literal meanings.  The latter two have been used for decades by well respected political commentators.  To me all these terms are just descriptive of like minded groups of individuals acting in their own political self interest within the powers they hold in government or media.  Not some vast conspiracy.  Sometimes they act legally sometimes not.

    Chuck Schumer the minority leader of the senate once warned Trump that intelligence agencies "have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you", when Trump criticized them. There is not a "deeper" part of the state than its intelligence organizations.  They understandably demand the highest levels of secrecy from the people they serve.  But also should not be feared when criticized.  I believe this term "deep state" picked up traction in the conservative media with Schumer's comment.

    As for the leak.  Strategic leaks are as old as Washington.  And yes at times they are contrived in smoke filled rooms by groups of state actors.
