I think this is the second time he's talked about CA dumping water into the ocean. My best guess is that he's thinking about how the flood management (relating to managing rainfall) infrastructure diverts water out to the ocean instead of capturing it, and that he somehow got it in his syphilis-ridden head that this is causing California to have insufficient water to put out the fires.

The headline too, Free Dumb. https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-poll-43-of-republicans-want-to-give-trump-the-power-to-shut-down-media?source=twitter&via=desktop All told, 43 percent of self-identified Republicans said that they believed “the president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior.” Only 36 percent disagreed with that statement. When asked if Trump should close down specific outlets, including CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, nearly a quarter of Republicans (23 percent) agreed and 49 percent disagreed.

I'd be curious what constitutes "bad behaviour". I'm assuming whatever Trump says is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Some angry woman posted this quote in the comments section of Fox News to “prove” that Obama was just as down on Fox News as Trump is on everything that isn’t Fox. Quote “I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It’s a point of view that I disagree with. It’s a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it’s been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it’s that Fox is very successful.” Wow, look at that, he’s being so anti-Fox. Wowsers. What a salacious comment. Exactly like Trump. Why, if you look at everything Obama said about Fox News over 8 years, you can find 3 or 4 similar quotes to this. It’s like, the EXACT same thing... uh...

They're probably not sick of it because they're not actually paying attention to it nearly as much as we are. This is borne out by the fact that Trump was "elected" at all. Anyone who was even half-way paying attention couldn't possibly have voted for him, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are demanding all flights leaving the base be temporarily suspended and a search warrant be executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I mean...good. Turkey in its modern state shares almost nothing in common with NATO. It's a piece of trash country with a piece of trash religious culture. Their military held it together for a while to keep it modernized, but that stopped and it's likely going to slide back. Note - To clarify, it has a trash religious culture in that religion making rules for society is trash, I don't care which religion is doing it.
