Trump is a pompous ******* to make those comments. Just don’t say anything. Your the effing President. And stay off X for a while.

This is why I hate the man but voted for him for his policies. I pray I’ll live long enough to be able to vote for both.
FWIW you may get that in 2028 if Vance wins. You'll likely get policies you agree with and a smart adult behind the phone that would never send out that nonsense today. And socially, we'd be better off. Imagine a President saying something like, "While I'm sure we disagreed politically on several issues, he was a talented man and loving husband and father. RIP to them and may God Bless their family during this tragedy."

This is easy stuff that a teenager could ace but a nearly 80 year old man just cannot do.

You're painting a victim, someone you've never met and don't know personally, as mentally unstable. Disagreeing with his views or words does not make him unstable.

You never leave your own bubble. You never saw this story because your outlets never presented it.

An archetypal boomer driven mad by TDS, cable news, and Russia collusion hoaxes. We’ve seen plenty of that right here on this board.

Mental instability, and it’s quite alright to say so.

Sally Struthers was a dish back in the day. It is implausible that she'd marry Mike.

I say this merely as an informational statement. Young Sally Struthers had a topless scene in the Jack Nicholson movie, Five Easy Pieces although THIS is by FAR my favorite scene from that film.

Understood, but it was Bidens budget and approved spending that led to that deficit. The "tossing of gold bars", and the absurd spending that happened prior to Trump taking office.
I'm thinking of this post as a "remind to check back in a year". I'll make a prediction now that if they can curtail spending in '26, there won't be a massive democratic wave.

"My Christmas wish would be to have an entire week off. To spend it with my family and just curl up and watch Christmas movies when it's snowing outside."

- David Hasselhoff

Since I'm bored you all are just going to have to put up with my random movie clip posts.

This is a strangely funny David Hasselhoff scene. As an aside, I think most of you are familiar with the Paddock's extremely eccentric nomad, Wyvern. Having played briefly in a band with him, and hanging out with him, I can assure you that the last half of this short clip is as close as you can get to experiencing Wyvern in person. o_O :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

WARNING

***** some pretty harsh language in this *****

Respect to some of you for being normal human beings with souls. I'm still pretty grossed out by the left with Kirk. Can't imagine what his family is still going through and what the Reiners are currently going through a day later. That pain probably never goes away.

Just so we're clear, it's not cool or something to be proud of to lack empathy and sympathy. All Kirk wanted was to have civil debates and when he was killed, many on the left showed a complete lack of normalcy and mocked him. You guys called it out and rightfully so and yet, your leader is doing the same thing, thus, this clearly happens on both sides. You can't play the moral high game here when Trump and some on the right take every opportunity to do similar as the left when it comes to tragedies. You can't spin that as some sort of W to make yourselves feel better about your lives.

To the unhinged here, you're trying too hard. Show a lack of empathy about what happened or make two elderly people having their throats slit by their son into a bizarre political attack against them to your own children or your significant others. They'll look at you like you're insane and you know that which is why you won't do it.

Sorry....your past doesn't fly now w/ this charade. Good effort, though.

Yep, both awful. One is terrorism, one isn’t. You know this of course.
Wrong yet again.

“Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a government or civilian population for political, religious, or ideological goals, aiming to create widespread fear beyond immediate victims to influence behavior or policy. While no single definition exists, key elements include calculated violence, targeting non-combatants, instilling fear, and pursuing specific objectives, often through attacks on infrastructure or public spaces.”

In February 2025, the U.S. government officially designated several major drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations as
Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs). This action followed President Donald Trump's Executive Order 14157, issued in January 2025, which established a process for these designations on the basis that these groups pose a national security threat beyond traditional organized crime.”

Its certainly OK to tell the truth: Reiner was a complete lunatic POS liberal who in no way, shape, or form, deserved this.

Prayers for his family.

Like I get some purple haired blueskyers celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death, but Trump is the f-ing POTUS! The potus should be better on the national stage than the YouTube comment section.

Save it. The left, inc. the Biden administration, fueled the rhetoric on a daily basis that led to Trump being shot, and another attempt that was thankfully foiled. They all but had him in the Third Reich.

The holier than thou BS coming from many today is asinine.

Just another version of the Left creating a problem, and then telling us they'll solve it.

You don’t know that they’re NOT drug runners. This requires us to believe that the Navy has a strategic reason to blow up fishermen. That’s an extremely silly supposition.

You're familiar with the fundamental concept of the presumption of innocence?!

Rand Paul, who I don’t often agree with, said 25% of these suspected “drug boats” don’t have drugs on them when we interdict.

And again, drug running, while awful, does not carry a death sentence, and is not “terrorism.” To compare it to Al Qaeda or similar is laughable.
They aren't just "drug running", and yes they are designated terrorist groups, and not just by the US, but Canada as well.

The organizations designated by the U.S. Department of State and the Canadian government include:
Cártel de Sinaloa (Sinaloa Cartel)
Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG)
Cártel del Noreste (CDN, formerly Los Zetas)
La Nueva Familia Michoacana (LNFM)
Cártel de Golfo (Gulf Cartel)
Cárteles Unidos (CU)
Tren de Aragua (TdA), a Venezuelan transnational gang
Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), a transnational gang
Rationale and Implications
The designations mark a significant shift in policy, as previously there was debate on whether profit-motivated criminal groups met the criteria for terrorism, which typically involves political or ideological motivation. Proponents of the designation argue that the extreme violence and intimidation tactics used by these groups—such as beheadings and mass executions—create terror and threaten national security, justifying a counterterrorism approach.
The designation provides the U.S. government with additional legal and policy tools to combat these groups, including:
Freezing their assets and denying members entry into the U.S.
Prosecuting individuals or entities that provide "material support or resources" to the designated organizations, even if based outside the U.S.
Applying sanctions and increasing scrutiny on financial transactions in regions where cartels operate.
