    Grimes makes it seem that simple but oh no it's not, buster. Follow me here. Grimes HAILS from PA. The PA region that gave Trump the election contains Scranton. Dunder Mifflin is in Scranton. So it's patently obvious. Bears (Russian), Beets (Whitelandian farmers), Battlestar Galactica (Space Force) was all in his master plan to install the Orange Asshole and eventually usurp all power from our weak & ineffective DC leaders.

    A wall will be built only not on the border. The pollution in the air will be from all the miscreants smoke as they enjoy their last Parliament! :ninja:

    The leaders will resign because they don't want their bones to become part of the wall.
    Their bones will become part of the wall anyway but that's irrelevant.

    Neglect rather than physical, to me.

    I think the chance of neglect was 100% but the chance that there was physical isn't insignificant.

    The new national anthem will be "One Nation Under a Groove"
    It will be known as "One Nation Under an Organic Babylonian Construct"

    The chorus of the redone song will still flow.
    Grimes commands it.

    Don't disagree.

    This whole episode - related to the funeral - make me think of the that analysis/study of the Romania orphans who showed a lack of development of the emotional part of the brain because there was a lack of parenting/care given to then when they were young.

    I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I'm no psychiatrist (I only play one on the interwebs) but my sister is.

    I don't pretend to diagnose or completely understand what is happening with the Tangerine wankmaggot or with any person, but when our dad was reaching 80 he started to be more unpolite and use bad language more often, and one of the things I learned through my sister was that the brain center that filters and accommodates your behavior to be more polite/civil, is one of the first parts to wane down if there are mental issues, hence one of the first signs of dementia is to spew more profanities than usual or refuse to "behave properly" more often.

    https://www.verywellhealth.com/foul-language-and-dementia-97610

    True, Trump has never needed that center much (and is probably underdeveloped), but it makes sense that with his age and with stress eating him, he might be suffering some sort of early dementia.

    I agree that all Presidents have black spots. Obama didn't launch an invasion that killed 500,000 people. Reagan didn't slaughter the whole population of Grenada. Dubya is different and it pisses me off he's lumped in with anyone other than LBJ and Nixon.

    And yes it does help I lost a friend in Iraq.

    As I said with my response to nutter, Dubya should stand alone. Yes, Obama didn't do the right thing in Yemen. Nor did HW and Clinton stop Somalia or Rwanda. What Dubya did puts them all to shame.

    I am more personally invested since I know someone who was killed in Iraq. So take my posts with that grain of salt.

    "Not doing the right thing" and "actively doing the wrong thing" are different conditions, and Yemen counts as the latter. You could throw Libya in there, too, as well as okaying the "bank shot" in Syria.

    HW and Clinton get special mention for screwing the Iraqi people for a decade, nearly themselves causing a famine and associated issues.

    Part of the reason Bush '41's reputation has been whitewashed is because people are consciously or unconsciously comparing him to the current President.
    If LBJ or Nixon had died during this Presidents term their reputations would have been improved even more than time has already done.

    All Presidents (and many cabinet members) can be called war criminals, except perhaps Carter.


    You may be confusing the 2 Bushes, and I do believe this was under Regan.

    What president slaughtered the whole population of a country?

    I mean we may need to go back to the American-Indians "wars" to find a president that ordered the slaughter a whole nation.

    It was happening long before the current President. Although election results back then were in large part because of Iraq, I don't think the country has fully and genuinely taken time to reckon with what has happened "over there" or even the impact of what it has had here, "at home." That's just 17-year old background noise. Support the troops, blah, blah, blah. When weren't we at war?

    I thought it was closer to 25%.

    21% to 24% per Wiki. I met a guy, about my age, who was a Cambodia survivor. That makes for an unworldly conversation.

    I've been using my grandfather as a comparison for 45 as I got to see him descend into Alzheimer's and my grandmother into dementia, and many of the similarities in the symptoms are obvious. The biggest difference, though, is that 45's father had Alzheimer's and it is known to be genetic.

    GHWB was very different from Trump in a lot of substantive ways that are to the former's credit.

    But there's one aspect of his legacy where you can see a very clear similarity - the pardons and associated impunity for those were convicted or facing trial in the Iran-Contra scandal. If the current reports about William Barr being the possible choice for Attorney General are true, that precedent may get more attention, given that Barr was also AG when the Bush pardons were issued.

    In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump has spent some time thinking about those Bush 41 pardons, or if they might have influenced his Attorney General preference. Trump is largely uninformed about or uninterested in many aspects of how the government actually operates, but he seems to have a specific interest in the pardon power (go figure!).

    So no need to go back in time and kill Fred Trump, just go back to Queens in the 1950s and call CPS?
