She does have stamina. I haven't checked to see if any is copypasta'd from that site she keeps linking. I checked once and it's a truther/prepper deal. Could she be an editor trying some SEO?

Not sure why you keep calling me "she" but I am not female, trans, nor do I identify as a female. Thanks sweetheart.

Hey, I get a "voice" in my head for every poster I see often enough. It's probably more related to avatar than anything, not a pysch profile.
Thank you for not being offended, despite your support of Trump. I don't use female references as an insult, since they aren't.

Yes, it's possible even in developing countries. Not that difficult once you allocate the funds accordingly. I believe that money is not the problem. It's a matter of priorities and efficient budget allocations.
can i assume that you're equally outraged by the white house's threats to 'morning joe' if they refused to apologise to trump for their criticism?
i mean, if you're being consistent you'd be equally outraged, right?

I must've missed that. What was the threat?

Whatever Scarborough alleges was texted to him....
We'll never really know because he wants to protect the "source" of said heresy.
Whom do you believe, the President of the USA, or some desperate nerd who once had a murdered intern found in his office?
he's a frequent pants-on-fire liar so i don't trust pretty much anything he says.

Start of the Syrian Civil War: March, 2011.
First Syrian elections that allowed more than one candidate: June, 2014.
I think the bigger story here is that the US has a time machine and is using it to direct its foreign policy.

I just don't understand why people can't realize that it's not the 1950s anymore. We aren't the only rich country on the planet any longer, and we're quickly losing that wealth. Everyone who refuses to accept this irrefutable fact is like, "Rah rah rah Trump, dump the poor and Mexicans in the Guadalupe!" and I just don't get it. I'm extremely fascinated by the American Century as a historical point of focus, but the American Century ended about two decades ago... Time to grow up and move on folks.
Well honestly, they should be. If you're gonna act like a whiny 7 year old who didn't get ice cream after refusing to eat his dinner, you don't deserve to be at the front of any line. And if you don't use any disciplinary actions against that whiny 7 year old, he'll think he can skip dinner and get ice cream every damn night, and then he'll grow up fat and incapable of handling rejection. Doesn't seem sound to me.
Yea I know, lots of other countries will have that opinion too, macron for sure will want to punish Britain when it comes to trade, no doubt others will too. For its size though Britain buys a lot of shit and is a big market for Europe.
As you all know I'm not clued up on this sort of thing but I can't see countries stopping trading with us, France for example makes a shit ton of money selling to the uk, will they stop?

Of course France won't stop selling products to the UK, but they may well start selling considerably less products to the UK following the implementation of Brexit. Not for punitive reasons, but economic ones. The EU is a free-trade zone, meaning that in any EU country there are no tariffs associated with the importation of goods from another EU country. Post-Brexit, assuming the Tories stick to their so-called 'hard Brexit' guns, the UK is no longer going to be part of the free-trade zone. This will make French products more expensive in the UK, and this is likely to reduce demand for them. Moreover, since leaving the free-trade zone will undermine the ability of British exports to compete in the EU, there is a chance that the UK government will end up increasing import tariffs, making EU products even more expensive in the UK, in the hopes that this will increase domestic purchases of UK manufactured products.
Thanks for explaining it. Is there any Eu countries that couldn't afford to lose the uk trade? As far as I know some are already in dire circumstances. If uk stopped buying cars or wine from Italy for example would it be bad enough to affect their economy enough for them to leave the Eu too? Could it really lead to collapse of the eu?
Would uk just be able to deal with non eu countries and tell em to get fucked lol

^ i'm not sure there acre countries who "couldn't afford to lose the uk trade" but some will be hurt more noticably than others e.g. ireland, the netherlands and belgium whose exports to the uk make up a significant portion (~8%) of their gdp.

We are the only superpower in the world, China is expected to surpass the US economy by 2030, but I think a war will happen before that ever happens.
If we had a truly tyrannical, hitleresque president, who gave no fucks, he could turn the world upside down.
But we don't, we have a real American leader and it feels so good.
No, I just want them returned to their country of origin, in a humane manner but also make it undesirable to ever consider returning.
Who is the only superpower in the world today?
So a country asserting independence in a western democratic fashion reminds you of a whiny 7 year old, well imo the UK deserves a front seat after that move, along with Poland.
As an american I look at the EU as a 7 year old with ice cream surrounded by hungry bullies.

And I'll just never get it I guess.
how do you define a leader?
i did a google search for "traits of a leader" and some words come up again and again: integrity; focus; passion; innovation; open-mindedness; confidence; authenticity; generosity; insightfulness; communication; emotional stability; awareness; empathy; accountability; etc.
to me, trump has about two of those traits. he ran on uniting the nation and america is as divided as it's ever been. how is he leading and how is he uniting?
how would you go about measuring how effective a leader a president is?
