Tapping SS for pet projects is a serious sore spot for me. That was supposed to be a TRUST. Not a slush fund. But noooo, politicians just couldn't stand to see all that money sitting there drawing interest waiting to be paid to the people who earned it.


Typical coyote guarding the chicken coop scenario. It wasn't underfunded until the politicians gained access to the money. Meanwhile, as you say, those crap "issues" keep us all divided and arguing whilst government just keeps on squandering and spending us into oblivion. Oh yes, our enemies are loving it.
Yep. Just like during the election, when trump neatly managed to turn attention away from issues over and over again. The 'fake news', deliberate targeting those who disagree with 'us', turning of truth into something else, and the willingness of the populace to believe all this outlandish posturing rather than using their noggins for something more than holders for their tin hats... is truly dangerous.

That took a lot of cahunna's to post considering the amount of garbage that your team put out during the election. No moral or ethical compass liberals have. None.

So, what is your input regarding the incident where someone acted on a story that was not put out by the established news, but was gleefully spread around by various 'news blogs' and conspiracy theory posters? That is the actual topic of the thread.

It's like if you friend said he borrowed a million bucks. That information alone means nothing. You have to know what he used that million bucks for and what the loan terms to really understand what's going on.




Are you confused. Did you take your meds?

You mean saying I did this, I said that; when I have said NONE of those things.

It's like you can't help yourself when it comes to fake news. You have to invent one even in this very thread.

But your ridiculous example is a far cry from a deliberate and premeditated action to bring firearms into a pizza joint, right? You are not trying to say that the student planned to walk into traffic when she got up that very morning, right?

Has US ever defaulted on our debts????!!!!!!

So WTF are you talking about????

You need to educate yourself about government debt.

Reading through this thread it's pretty clear that there are an awful lot of defensive Trump supporters.
I wonder why that is.
Could it be that they themselves believed these hacked emails?
Could it be that they approve of the gunman's actions?
Could it be that they will blindly overlook anything that reflects badly on the Reddit, 4chan, etc. communities?

I'm thinking all of the above.
