  3. On a sidenote, I look forward to the day when all the Cold Warriors in the US and Russian governments are dead and buried too.
  4. ^ Pls, you can even do Iraq again “It's very important for all of us to recognize one of our great strengths is for people to be able to worship the way they want to, or not worship at all. The bedrock of our freedom — a bedrock of our freedom — is the right to worship freely,” the former president said. “You see, I understood right off the bat, Matt, that this was an ideological conflict and people who murder the innocent are not religious people. They want to advance an ideology and we have faced those kind of ideologues in the past.” - George W. 'The Antichrist, or the devil, take your pick' Bush
  5. "I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. We needed independent media to hold people like me to account," [George W.] Bush said. "Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive, and it’s important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power... It’s kind of hard to tell others to have an independent free press when we’re not willing to have one ourselves". What, can the Devil speak true?
  6. I wish they had just torn him limb from limb. Death panels... What year does he think it is ?
  7. 'Approximately 58.1 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in last week’s presidential election, according to the latest estimates from Michael McDonald, associate professor at the University of Florida, who gathers data at the U.S. Elections Project. That’s down only slightly from 2012, when turnout was 58.6 percent, and well above 2000’s rate of 54.2 percent. Turnout may end up being higher than in any presidential election year between 1972 and 2000. (It’s already higher than in any midterm election since 1896, according to McDonald’s numbers, including the paltry 3.9 percent of voters who turned out two years ago.)' https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/no-voter-turnout-wasnt-way-down-from-2012/
  8. The failing Democratic Party is about to hold a vote for DNC chair and EPA Man Scott Pruitt is moments away from issuing his planetary death sentence. Exciting times.
