[QUOTE=Lambeth;52012964]The golf stuff is part of the larger issue that supporting trump's lifestyle is fucking expensive. [URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/trump-familys-elaborate-lifestyle-a-logistical-nightmare--at-taxpayer-expense/2017/02/16/763cce8e-f2ce-11e6-a9b0-ecee7ce475fc_story.html?utm_term=.0cb3b4e6f402"]10 Million dollars in the first month expensive[/URL]. Obama's expenses were roughly 12 million a year.[/QUOTE] That's what, like, 120ish million a year of taxpayer dollars if he keeps this up? Spent on nothing more than his own golf weekends after he spent so much time talking about how he would be a total workaholic president who would spend all their time at the white house? Smells like some pretty fuckin' heavy duty hypocrisy to me
[QUOTE=Chonch;52012895]If this story is implying what I think it is, then I know I should be disgusted, but I can't help but think that 9 weeks of events is not quite enough to compare to a whole 8 year presidency. This is assuming the whole gripe on presidential vacation isn't just a petty shit-flinging fest, of course.[/QUOTE] "Wait till the general election before judging him, give him the benefit of the doubt!" "Wait till he takes office..." "Surely 9 weeks isn't representative of his actions as president, wait a few years before judging him."

"Surely 9 weeks isn't representative of his actions as president, wait a few years before judging him."[/QUOTE] It's probably gonna end in "just wait until his second term, where he has much more experience" or some shit
[QUOTE=Zorlok;52012300][bunch of tweets][/QUOTE] Jesus, I can't believe the shit he says and does anymore. Idiocracy used to be funny when it was still a movie. If he continues at this rate, he will have played golf 277 times in his four years.
[QUOTE=BF;52012430]I wouldn't call him corrupt yet but god damn, Trump's poor work ethic and incompetence is just pathetic. You never see Australian, British, Canadian prime ministers, German chancellors etc doing this kind of thing. And this isn't just a criticism of Trump himself; their seems to be a huge aura of untouchability and royalty to American Presidents, and American politicians in-general. Eg you would never see a US President do something like what Aus PM Turnbull did last week by having a beer in a pub with The Betoota Advocate. And apparently Swiss federal Councillors can often be seen using public transport. But American politicians? They're like a separate class of people, like classical European royalty. The whole aura of untouchability is probably why American politicians can get away with so much shit.[/QUOTE] Well frankly doubling charges at your resorts because "they were owned by the president" is as near as damn it and beyond the criteria for corruption.
Dont you just feel sorry for American History teachers in 100 years time?
[QUOTE=Source;52014898]Dont you just feel sorry for American History teachers in 100 years time?[/QUOTE] what are you talking about? they'll just glaze over this shit like most other shit moments in american history a lot of people don't know that the CIA is directly responsible for instability in Iran
[QUOTE=lintz;52014933]what are you talking about? they'll just glaze over this shit like most other shit moments in american history a lot of people don't know that the CIA is directly responsible for instability in Iran[/QUOTE] Good ol' Kermit...
[QUOTE=lintz;52014933]what are you talking about? they'll just glaze over this shit like most other shit moments in american history a lot of people don't know that the CIA is directly responsible for instability in Iran[/QUOTE] they probably won't if he's directly responsible for something so big and bad that you can't help but ignore it if we assume the USA has a few centuries left in it, then trump might figure pretty bigly in a history book where it says "this is where the rot really got advanced"
[QUOTE=lintz;52014933]what are you talking about? they'll just glaze over this shit like most other shit moments in american history a lot of people don't know that the CIA is directly responsible for instability in Iran[/QUOTE] ...done at the request of MI6 acting to protect the interests of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, who's assets were about to be nationalized because they refused to work with Iran on a diplomatic solution. Don't act like your hands are clean, you were the mastermind, we were the hired gun.
am not ethnically white my hands are clean
[QUOTE=lintz;52015123]am not ethnically white my hands are clean[/QUOTE] Because MI6 is a white nationalism agency now? What is this even arguing? Like, what, are only white Americans supposed to feel guilty about, say, Vietnam or the first Gulf War? This sudden swerve into identity politics is a pointless non-reply to Mr. Someguy's post.
[QUOTE=lintz;52015123]am not ethnically white my hands are clean[/QUOTE] what does this even mean
[QUOTE=lintz;52015123]am not ethnically white my hands are clean[/QUOTE] Are you not of British descent, primarily?
i am a second generation chinese immigrant i have nothing to do with what MI6 has done the only reason someguy brought up mi6 is because of the british flagdog [editline]26th March 2017[/editline] whether or not mi6 is culpable for that whole fiasco is nothing to do with me. the entire west is corrupt in some manner or another and that's just another cake to be iced

So, I mean, ok, you, personally, may not have been directly enriched by MI6's actions in Iran, but you haven't actually done anything to argue against Mr. Someguy's point except to say that you won't defend it or accept national culpability. And if you're going to call the West corrupt, hoo boy that opens up a can of worms for comparison to other corrupt regimes like China. Nobody is trying to hold you personally responsible for the destabilization of Iran but you're either arguing against that, or arguing a point nobody is making while avoiding the actual discussion.
what do you want me to say? mi6 was wrong to spearhead the whole thing, the cia was wrong to pull it off decades of iranian culture and stability torn down in the 50s to make way for a despot who could be controlled by the west for that sweet sweet oil

Trump really, literally, not even an exageration, shoot someone on fifth avenue, and he wouldn't lose a single supporter. I can't believe when he made that errant statement it was true, but here we are, where [B]nothing[/B] will get die hard trump supporters to question it It's pretty amazing the level of mind fuck he's committed against the people of the nation
what a time to be alive eh lads
