I hope the next six years are enjoyable for you.

Seems like everyone is speaking a different language.
Some people can't seem to get past that he's narcissistic, demeaning, likely corrupt (but not in a proven, strictly legal sense so far), and possibly incompetent.
Some people will look past ALL of that if we get Supreme Court Justices they approve of and other policies in line with their thinking.
I don't understand the inability to understand both sides. Some people (I'm more in this camp) don't give a shit how he's doing a job, just that it's getting done (again, even if he's taking a bunch of undeserved credit). Is that what I would prefer? No. Is that my standard? Apparently, because I've seen plenty of politicians do the "wrong things the right way."
The options were Hillary, Trump, or 3rd Party and so far 3rd party has been a fantasy no one indulges. Trump is who he is and isn't changing. I don't get the reasons to have the same conversations over and over again, thread after thread.
If the Trump Court doesn't do something to undo the threats to the 2nd Amendment, then I don't care if Beer Boy is crucial in becoming an enforcer for the sexuality police. The latter is something Trump Land is all hot for and a push for 2nd Amend. rights has fallen off the train as a priority. Note, saying you 'defend' them is not enough. Trump has vacillated on that enough not to trust him.
Pretty far off the Saudi mess but thread drift is to be expected.

This is not a relevant query to the topic of events in the Saudi Arabian Embassy.
Bringing the matter back to the thread, here’s the point; it’s Turkeys problem. Let them solve it as they see fit and cast our attention to the problems actually impacting this country.

Zip. Nada. Nothing. Not that Congress has been falling over themselves to do anything, eitber.
We are all bright enough to realize he isn't fond of guns in the hands of the great unwashed, right?
The lack of movement on suppressors has proved to me that for the Republican Party on a national level, no new restrictions is as "pro-gun" as they are willing to go. It's better than the Dems, but still mostly pure electioneering posturing.
At the state level, things are different, obviously.
On the main topic, Saudi Arabia is a disgusting, backwards monarchy that only got rid of open air slave markets in the 1970s that has polluted American democracy with undue monetary influence on our political class going back many decades. They are the main breeder of Wahabi murderous Islam. We would be better off without them as an "ally."
Israel has nukes and isn't in any extential crisis. We have no real interests in the region anymore, besides making sure we have a justification to keep up an insane level of military expenditures forever. At least Trump was 100% honest about why we give the slightest fuck--profits for the big boys!
Good to see Pat Roberts has basically admitted his true god is Mammon, as well.

Ignoring the fact that the term was popularized by Catholics in the mid 19th century, may I suggest that your feeble call for censorship is pathetic?

From The Economist, a traditionally conservative news magazine known for quality reporting:
Lügenpresse has a long and ugly history in Germany. It was first used after the failed revolutions of 1848, mainly in Catholic polemics against the liberal press. From the start it implied that the media were controlled by Freemasons or Jews.In the interwar years the term was used both by communists against the “bourgeois Lügenpresse” and by the Nazis against—no surprise—the allegedly Jewish and Bolshevik mediaYou're in great company there, fella.In the reunited Germany the term made a comeback among neo-Nazi and right-wing groups. Since 2014 it has been a favourite chant at demonstrations by PEGIDA, a xenophobic movement that is centred on the eastern city of Dresden. Some mobs have become physically aggressive against journalists—39 such attacks were counted last year.
