It's so smart that you liberal losers can't just understand the bigly smartness of it all. It's like appointing a press secretary who makes Comical Ali look like David Frost - more genius.

Hopefully the genius-in-chief gets on with abolishing the courts or whatever scheme he has cooked up this week.

The fact that this resignation is very bad for the Trump administration means I'm expecting him to be filmed kicking a disabled child or something some time in the next 12 hours.

Child will later be described as a snowflake cuck by his supporters.

[Strewelpeter]

Tremendously presidential, most presidential since Lincoln.
LOL the fucking imbecile even tweeted about flynn's illegal discussions with Putrid Putin.

[DeadParrot]

And Flynn is gone...
That's two staff gone due to Russian connections.


Cliff's;

.Flynn was rumoured to have called Russia before Trumps inauguration, which is iffy at the best of times, but especially when you're discussing sanctions whilst another President is in office (its actually against the law).
- Turns out this was the day Obama expelled diplomats over the Russian interference in the elections
- Putin doesnt respond (very unusual)
- Trump tweets "very smart by Putin" to not respond to Obamas actions
- Details emerge of the call in early Jan - Flynn says he only did it to wish his counterpart merry christmas and arrange a follow up call
- Pence, Spicer and Priebus all say to the media that the call was totally benign, nothing about sanctions
- Rumours of other calls start to emerge, going back to the campaign (which might have implications if the rumours of collusion are true)
- On Thursday, Flynn says he absolutely did not discuss sanctions
- On Friday, says he can't remember what was spoken about and he might have discussed sanctions
- Over the weekend it emerges the transcripts of the calls by Flynn are damning
- It emerges that Trump and Pence were warned a month ago by the Acting AG who they fired that this was a problem, and that Flynn may be being blackmailed
- Flynn falls on his sword

We are only at day twenty five.

Your out of your mind if you think the Trump victory had anything to do with identity politics. Throughout the political spectrum Trump winning had merely confirmed whatever biases people already have, and in the centre left has led to a lot of people feeling free to give voice to their deeply offensive & illiberal thoughts that they had before the election, but were scared to utter out loud.

In that video Harris begins talking intelligently about data, then ignores that and rattles off the things that annoy him about the left, with his personal bug bear being religion. There is no evidence, or even train of logic we can follow, its literally a list of gripes.

And now because the video has touched a cord with some of your unseemly feelings, you have posted it here to be further disseminated.

Congratulations, you managed to contradict yourself in two sentences. You say it had nothing to do with identity politics and then in the next sentence as an example you literally use the fact that identity politics is the reason Trump won.
And you don't know how I feel so don't insult me with your "unseemly" accusations.

Asked for elderflower tonic in my gin last night which seemed to give them the leeway to start chopping whatever random fruit they wanted and throwing it in too, didn't really like smelling apple with every sip, plus whatever tonic it was was pretty meh, was fever tree or Thomas Henry, didn't see.

More genius we're not smart enough to understand, with appointing a national security advisor who has to resign less than a month after taking office. Really should have studied more at school in order to be able to comprehend the brilliance of the strategies.

You're never going to get it with that attitude Hitch!

You find it strange that the world's most prominent anti-theist is using Trump's election to further his cause?

There were definitely tons of people who voted for Trump, or voted third party, or didn't vote, because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary, for exactly the reasons Harris cites in that video. I am friends with several. You can stick your fingers in your ears and pretend they don't exist, or shame them for being "unseemly" if you like, but there are millions of them, and they're not going away.

[Delooners]

I'm not sure if everyone has seen or heard about this poor girls sad story. She's an 18 year old Carlow girl with a rare form of cancer, the only specialist who treats it is based in Texas, and has told her that she needs to move over there in March to give herself a fighting chance of beating it. But the cost of that is over $500,000 which is a crazy amount of money for anyone to try and raise. The story has picked up a lot of attention on social media so there's a good chance that a lot of people are already aware, but if only a few people donate after reading this it will have been a worthwhile post. Here's a link to the story with more details, and it contains a link to her gofundme page if anyone wants to donate. It also contains a video that the girl herself made to make a plea for help. It's heartbreaking to watch. Every little bit helps.

Seems she has made over the €500k now and going up fast? That's class! Hope it helps her out. The price involved here is crazy, it's good that I think it gets a certain kind of donator out doing things, helping others.

Personally find it hard to choose this, over something like say the Against Malaria Foundation, which literally saves a life guaranteed for every €7k given to them. One reason for this is I know cases like hers generally draw a lot of attention and are more likely to be funded. Peter Singer has a good book (The Most Good You Can Do) that talks about this subject. If you can put up with him talking about himself for a whole book

Yeah I know what ya mean and that's fair enough too. That's unbelievable, I was on there about 12 hours ago and it was about 300k or a little over so it's after flying in over the last while. Great stuff! It's nice to see the good left in the world. Well it got me to have a look at myself anyways and see how very little I have to be complaining about when I compare things to that poor girl.

I must have missed the bit where HJ said he found it strange.

Harris basically goes on a fact-free rant for most of that video. I would be embarrassed to use that to support my point of view. I would prefer to use accurate data(where available) which clearly illustrates why my line of thinking should be given more weight.

I have paying a direct debit to a charity for many years since mother died from heart attack at 58 yrs old, I am 5 yrs away from that now! ( Chest, Heart and Stroke)
I have been considering changing to another charity but worried that if I do I will get a heart attack or stroke. How does one get rid of this mindset?

Get a proper check up with a cardiac consultant and go from there.

Maybe give up some of the vodka too and do some exercise

Quit fags, lost weight, exercising regular and eating sensibly these days with a lot less vodka taken. I am one of those people who only go to doctor when sick, last time about 15-20 yrs ago. I have a mate same age who has been going for a medical check up every 6 months for years and he takes preventive stuff (no idea what as I zone out when he starts talking about it) and goes on about how its for the best but hes a doom and gloom charactor and I dont want to be him. If you look hard enough theres bound to be something odd imho and tbh I rather not have that worry.

Get checked out.

My mother went to Seattle last Thursday to bury her sister, she had been sick for a while but its still very sad. She went with her brother and another brother went with his wife the day before.

They were due to fly home just an hour ago, 8am Seattle time but her younger brother, 55 in a few weeks, got a heart attack in the hotel last night.

Sketchy info so far but paramedics performed CPR and he was on a ventilator and needs bypass surgery, i get home from nights and call my other aunt in Seattle and they have to make a decision weather to come back to Ireland or not. She wouldn't be up to doing the stopovers herself and her brother said he would be coming home now as there is nothing they can really do there, fucked up decision if you ask me, extend it for a few days but didnt want to make my mam more upset than she was, dont want her getting stressed out too.

The uncle who had the heart attack, Mike, stood in for my dad 19 years ago today when i got married.

I have to head into work again in a few hours, then go to Shannon in the morning to collect them.

I could do with a large drink.

[gorrrr72]

No I didn't, read it again. The second sentence begins with "in the centre left", who were destined to never vote for Trump.

You read it again, that was the second part of the sentence. In the first part you refer to "people" and their biases, in the second part you refer to "people" and their voicing their offensive and illiberal thoughts. Do these "people" you speak of have no identity? You state these as facts, yet you don't provide any examples. Or is this just an opinion? At least when Sam Harris gives his opinion he predicates it with statements like "in my view" and "I feel".
I said he makes a lot of sense and I stand by that. A lot of people in American politics and media agree with his opinions too so I don't think I am in the minority.

[cardshark202]

Then why don't you check the data that he mentions?

Well I'll let you in on a little secret: there are bigger problems in the world than Islamic Terrorism. You are generally safe to leave your house without being killed by one of the 1 billion muslamic infidels. You have a greater chance of accidentally drowning in your own bathtub than being killed in a terrorist attack.

Now, in my opinion, the morally correct response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis, for instance, is to welcome as many as possible in to the country. These people have nothing. They are not all trying to get in to start up some terrorist cells. Even if it increased the chances of some sort of terror attack, it is still the right thing to do.

I don't know why you have such a hard-on for Trump, but it's pretty clear from your post history that you do. I would understand disliking Clinton, but to do so in such a way as to use Clinton's flaws to vindicate Trump is laughably retarded (I've not data to back that bit up, that's just my opinion).
