You are hilarious. Dems will lose seats in the Senate. For starters.

I've got 21 pesos to the dollar and nearly 20 the last two trips there. What's the big deal about 22?

It's ALL a manipulated global scheme.........

So, guess right or guess wrong, were ALL in the same boat.......

Enjoy life as much as you can, while you can,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

One thing for sure ... never seen it this "up in the air" before

Chinese, N.Korea, Pakistan, India, Afganistan, Russia, Poland, Ukraine , Israel and/or the middle east Africa, south America ... Guess Japan is the only one that isn't upset with us over something ... but, I'm probably wrong on that .... If I've left anyone out ... just add them in

Plus our "market" has everyone running to one side of the boat to the other and all the while "science" is telling us we must slow down

I think most of those that are peeed off at us ... Is over OUR deluxe tur-bo living style ... While the majority of those other folks don't have the same and will never have it

Can YOU imagine every person in China having a CAR ... How about India or both ... then toss in all the rest


What ya got now ... and we haven't even got to housing, infrastructure et al

Does anyone really think that his is "sustainable" ??? Financially and/or environmentally ... :lol::lol:

Populations with no controls is NOT found in ANY living plant or animal ... other than the human being ... good luck with that one

Relax and Enjoy the Ride

MrBillM - 6-2-2018 at 09:52 PM

Que Sera Sera.

It's ALL mostly beyond OUR control and (hopefully) before things get too bad, WE (at least Wesson and I, among others) will be dead, gone and forgotten.

If we're lucky, KFC will clog a presidential artery before the big Scheisse hits the fan. If not, well ..................... that's LIFE.

It's been a decent (and mostly enjoyable) ride.

Oh, you might want to acknowledge EU (European Union), Mexico and Canada to that list....:light:

This conflict is not about the "Have Nots"...or resentment re: "deluxe tur-bo living style"...it's about a feckless fart in the White House whose narcissistic myopia ruining the cred of a good country
is a stain on the reputation of the USA.

Sad


Russia isn't on your list....'cuz they are sitting back and smiling...

Hopefully Hillary, Barrak and the rest of the group will die a horrible death before you so that you may realize what immoral people you are for wishing others to die. Really, get over it. We had to live through 8 years of incompetent government , and finally have something that is producing results. Jeesh, what poor losers you are. And I do mean losers.

What results?
Hate crimes on the rise
Nepotism rampant in white house.
EPA, Interior and Education Departments destroyed.
PUSA and his family and people under investigation for collusion and perhaps treason.
A vulgar (and apparently bigoted) president who wont disavow bigots that form his base.
And tax cuts for the rich, a lump of coal for the poor.
Those the results you are proud of?

Hope for Change

MrBillM - 6-3-2018 at 01:33 PM

Would it be evil to have wished Adolf dead ?

Most everybody has a feeling of satisfaction when Bad Guys go Face-Down and Belly-Up.

What is most humorous about that remonstration, though, is the supposition that I would care whether Hillary, Barack or any of those usual suspects croaked.

THAT is funny.

Supporting Hillary over Donald was the first time in 56 years of political activity that I supported a Democrat. This Conservative (like many others) thinks that the takeover of the party we've been a part of for decades is an indication of mass insanity. No doubt, a feeling common among many Germans in the '30s.

Goat, I bet grizzly's answer to the question at the end of your post is "yes". We'll see what he says.

Interesting that grizzly called people immoral for wishing someone to die, "you may realize what immoral people you are for wishing others to die" right after he wished others "die a horrible death".

Hypocrisy runs Rampant

MrBillM - 6-3-2018 at 04:13 PM

Among members of the cult.

The hardcore "Trump is US and we are HE" mob is filled with those whose previous political activism and participation was previously dominated by sitting on their collective rumps and whining over vast Liberal conspiracies.

NOW, after years of vocal Arsch Sitzen they're energized by a "Unite for White Might" vision.

I've been a member here for a long time, and do not post much because of the lopsided makeup of the membership, and the predictable reply's. Seems that most of the posters here are ex public sector employees, old surfers and Subaru drivers with Coexist stickers on their bumpers. I have seen how posters with divergent views are treated (eg: David K), and seldom expose myself to the maelstrom of venom I always get from the usual suspects. It is a shame that diversity of opinion causes such a knee-jerk reaction from you snowflakes. You need to lighten up. Maybe spend a little more time in Baja, and less in your basements. Hey, you speak spanish; maybe Venezuela would be a better fit for you. Seems your politics would fit right in.

Ain't that a Shame ?

MrBillM - 6-4-2018 at 10:07 AM

All those closed minds ?

The Lefties have NOTHING on those dedicated Trumpistas.

Who will parrot exactly (to the extent that they can remember or understand it) whatever Herr Donald has to say regardless of contrary facts.

Trump himself brags that they will believe whatever outrageous statements or claims he makes. EVEN when those statements take 180 turns, the true believers take the turn along with him.

On a personal note (and post-election therapy ?), I've found that such unquestioning belief to be advantageous. During and after the election, I've had numerous incisive and sardonic provocative bumper magnets created (www.buildasign.com) which I selectively alternate on my vehicles and which tend to inflame the emotions of the diehards. The angry reactions resulting are satisfying affirmations.

My latest is "Happiness is seeing Donald Trump on a Postage Stamp".

Not that original. I first saw that during the Willie Wanker years.

Others I've had created are:

"Proud NO TRUMP Conservative"

"The Conservative Choice is TRUTH not Trump"

"God may forgive Trump Supporters, but Hell seems more likely"

"Trump USA 2016. Deja Vu Germany 1932"

A (once ?) close friend who is German and a Trumpista took exception to that last one and we don't speak much anymore.

We need to maintain our humor during these times.

Can't we ALL just get Along ?

I like it though as I'm the same way ......

Paco Facullo - 6-4-2018 at 10:31 AM

MrBillM,
Here's another bumper sticker for ya,

If Hillary had Trumps baby they would name it Al Sharpton ....

That ought to turn a few heads ?

What some of you might not know is that MrBillM, is an ultra conservative like a lot of you, and MrBill, sometimes harbors the worse qualities coming from the far right, that works like a magnet attracting old white men to Trump camp.

The thing about Mr Bill, is that he is fairly educated, and reads and watches TV cable news all day, and he can see Trump for what he is, an opportunist to plays to the fears of his base who don't take the time to see what Trump really is about. Is building the wall really that important, or is Trump playing to his base?

Mr Bill, no doubt still votes republican, but like a lot of other conservative republicans, he just can't stomach Trump, and really doesn't see Trump as a true conservative.

But what Mr Bill, enjoys the most is getting under the skin of members, so if you want to paint him as liberal, I'm sure he won't mind, as long as you insult him, because it really makes his day.

Regarding the peso, It think it will go back down below 20, oil prices are going up, and although OPEC says they will increase oil production, I still think oil prices will still go up, and low oil prices was one of the factors that hurt the price of the peso these last few years.

I also think Trump is bluffing, and there will be a NAFTA, deal, because NAFTA helps big business in the US, and help big business in Mexico, but it doesn't help the Mexican people/workers.

If Trump has a prolong trade wars, the CEOs, will ask for Trump's head on a platter, and they will get it.

Bumper Fun

MrBillM - 6-4-2018 at 12:01 PM

I wouldn't say that Joe is dense, but ..................... I can't imagine ANYONE being unaware of my political bent.

Or, my longstanding nature. Dating back to (at least) the 5th grade in elementary school when I was suspended for sarcastically challenging a teacher in class. Something repeated a number of times during my school years. Refined with age. Nearly perfected now.

Speaking of Bumper-Says Daze:

My favorite Bumper Sticker during the Willie Wanker years was:

"Lenin, Stalin, Clinton - the legacy continues"

I ran across the sticker at a Military Surplus/Gun Shop in San Diego that I would often visit.

Buck apiece. I bought a dozen, put one on my truck and carried the rest with me. Handing them out free to anyone who'd put them on their vehicle right then. I ended up resupplying a number of times over the years. With the sticker still on my truck two years into the GWB presidency, people would say "He's gone, you know" and I'd reply "Yeah, but I LOVE the memories". Besides, I KNEW that I'd be seeing Willie's Witch running.

The irony that I couldn't possibly envision was MY supporting HER.

What some of you might not know is that JOE JUST JOE, is far left loon like a lot of you, and JJJ sometimes harbors the worse qualities coming from the far left, that works like a magnet attracting brown skinned Muslims into the fray....while dissing brown skinned Catholics who might be be Trump voters.

Joe just Joe is an anarchist and a proven racist.
Take whatever he says with a very small grain of salt.

Anyone who has been around this board for a while knows his style.
Belittles any and all LE and will belittle and shame you if your an elderly gent who votes contrary to what JJJ thinks you should.

And if you happen to be a brown skinned Catholic, you're a worthless chit, yet if you're a brown skinned Muslim.......you're in like flynn.


JoeJustJoe - 6-4-2018 at 01:30 PM

My feelings are hurt, and actually I was born into the Catholic religion, but if forced to state my religion, I would say I'm a Christian, but more spiritual than religious, and I don't hang out in church.

I would also consider myself a moderate liberal, because after all I voted for Hillary Clinton, as a more pragmatic choice over Bernie.

DaliDali, is to the right of even MrBill, and that's saying something, but I won't add any insults today, but your boy Trump, will eventually fall just like Nixon, and so will his support.

Just like a snowflake.......feelings hurt and sobbing the night away.

FYI.......you don't know who I voted for...I never revealed that to you or anyone.
Like always, you're on this assumption road once more.
Like the assumption mode regarding the LA Bay killings.

While your wiping up the tears from all your sobbing, apologize to the millions of brown skinned Catholics you denigrated during the electronic device searches thread a while back.
Recall that Filipino, who has brown skin, (like you know a Filipino when you see one) you insulted as being from the land of a tyrant and a likely Trump voter?

Just blurt it out Joe and clear the air ok?......can you do it?
That blurt out should include you're an anarchist and a racist.

Who do you think you're kidding, DD?

We know for sure you didn't vote for Hillary, and looking at your past posts, you have called yourself a member of the "deplorables," which by Hillary's definition is a Trump supporter.

So you DD, think Trump seems pretty dang sharp?

That doesn't say too much about you, if you think Trump is sharp.

I only seem like an anarchist, to you because you sit so far out there on the extreme right, while wearing one of those funny tea-party hats.

But you go ahead, and pretend we can't peg your political orientation. I have notice since the Bush years, ultra conservatives try to claim they are not republicans, and invent titles like Independent conservatives, Libertarians, and other right-wing titles for themselves, but the stripes are always the same.

"I seem to get mostly the Filipino agents at the border, and for some reason besides being mostly Catholic, Filipinos tend to be ultra conservative, and is probably one of the reasons in the Philippines they voted for that crazy guy, Rodrigo Duterte, who practices extrajudicial killings of their citizens suspected of being involved in drugs"

Stay away from Mexico JJJ......that country is chock full of brown skinned Catholics.
And double down on anywhere near a border crossing......some big bad Filipino brown skinned Catholic ultra conservative CBP agent will be reaching out to hack your phone.

Whomever anyone voted for or not is irrelevant.....
What is relevant is you're an anarchist, who doesn't even have the integrity to admit it and a bigot concerning brown skinned people who might hold a different viewpoint than you.
Brown skinned Muslims ok.....brown skinned Catholics go to hell.
Got that Joe........
Just stay away.

JoeJustJoe - 6-5-2018 at 07:24 AM

I have a feeling that if I said, Blacks tend to both liberal and democrat, who tend to vote for rational Presidential candidates and that many blacks harbor negative feelings towards law enforcement based on personal experience, and therefore would probably not apply to be CPB agents in high numbers.

I bet DD would also find that racist too, like he did with my comments about Filipinos, tending to be conservative, and voting for crazy candidates like Duterte.

Later today I'm going to go out and vote for moderate Democratic candidates in California, like Galvin Newsom, and hope he carries on where Gov Brown left off.

DD, on the other hand, will pretend if he was voting, that nobody could guess who he would be voting for, but in reality, we all know DD, will vote for a extreme far right GOP ticket down the line.

I'm also a big AMLO fan in Mexico, and don't think AMLO can be stopped this time.

Yes, your "conservative" leanings are evident...:biggrin: but a few of your recent comments here seem to indicate your ability to see crap for what it is re: trump....

I find that encouraging....I tend to lean politically towards politicians who care for people and their human condition....and less towards racist and hateful policies.

Agenda at ANY Price ?

MrBillM - 6-6-2018 at 05:41 PM

There is no doubt that many agenda items dear to Conservatives hearts have been and will be achieved, BUT along with those we are experiencing some very ugly changes that (previously) no serious Conservative would have favored. As we go farther down that path and accept (or promote) that which was once unimaginable, we are in danger of becoming no different from those past and current autocracies which we have long condemned.

Added to that is the very real concern (which I've shared since before the nomination) that Donald Trump has some very serious mental problems. At the very least, most should acknowledge that his mental situation has deteriorated over the years. One need do nothing more than watch interviews done 10-20-30 years back when Donald Trump (regardless of viewpoint) could adequately articulate with a fairly comprehensive vocabulary his positions.

We are facing a danger now that could explode at any time. The GOP political hierarchy obviously "knows" there are problems and may think that it can be controlled should things really go South, BUT what if they're wrong ?
