You add one to nuclear to make it up though.
Which is bizarre.

I don't. But yes a lot of dumb Americans do that.

To a hobbesian type of man thoroughly submerged in the nanny state who can't conceive of people doing fine outside the state, I can see how a massive reduction in government bureaucracy would seem like wanting to "burn it all down".

I do think government would work better, not worse, if it was reduced by 50-75%, and this seems like it would be obvious to anyone who has ever worked in an organization of more than 2 dozen people in their lives. The vast majority of it is make-work, bullshit jobs for Democrat voters that produce nothing anyway.

If Dems want to run on increasing the size of the IRS, I won't stop them.

Well, on a micro scale you and Burt are showing that's just not true. Any argument regarding Trump's insane behaviour is met with a barrage of apparently rational explanations as to why the said behaviour is A-OK, warranted indeed.

Why would it be any different on a national stage?

The cordial's been well and truly drunk from my vantage point.

Did she think he was just saying “tariffs!” and not really going to implement them?

She apparently thought he'd be super surgical about it
To her credit she was very self-deprecating about it all

The UK isn’t in the EU (do you even have access to basic information?)
The person you refer to, an actual Neo Nazi, was arrested as he broke a court order banning him from sharing a video targeting minorities after he had been ordered by the court not to do so and was given a prison sentence as a result.


St Petersburt. Running riot with the bullshit. Allowed and unchecked

I didn't mention the EU.

Be more respectful!

I have no doubt the lefties would cheer on Canadian-style freezing of protestor bank accounts and UK-style arrests of people who make mean tweets (and then be totally shocked when the censorship is inevitably turned on them.) And who knows, by the end of the term they'd probably be arguing for German-style banning of political parties.

What fucking planet do you live on Burt? Because it sure as shit doesn't seem like the same one I've been on my past 53 years. The shit you go on about baffles me, but maybe I'm just oblivious in my nanny state of utopian wokeness or something.
