"We believe in freedom, so do what we want or we'll start killing people. For freedom. 'Murica!"
"We're going to ignore the spirit of the law and the constitution to gain a permanent hold on the government, which we are simultaneously growing as fast as we can so that it becomes part of every facet of your life. And if you object to this, we will ignore or marginalize you, and if you object louder, we'll call you a terrorist. Because that's what America and freedom is all about, really - freedom from responsibility, freedom from the burden of choice, freedom from dissenting viewpoints. Now excuse me while I go masturbate to this picture of Chairman Mao."

Sure, okay. Whatever.
 
All it takes is for someone to use the words armed revolt and every libertarian gets an erection.
Their country was founded on armed revolt. I'm surprised that (significant) rebellion has only happened once in its history.
 
The latest... you-know-who called Obama and Hillary the founder and co-founder of ISIS. And reasserted the claim when asked if that was what he meant.

History is not his strong suit.

The group has had various names since it was founded in 1999 by Jordanian radical Abu Musab al-Zarqawi under the name Jamāʻat al-Tawḥīd wa-al-Jihād (lit. "The Organisation of Monotheism and Jihad").[31] When in October 2004 al-Zarqawi swore loyalty to Osama bin Laden, he renamed the group Tanẓīm Qāʻidat al-Jihād fī Bilād al-Rāfidayn (lit. "The Organisation of Jihad's Base in Mesopotamia"), commonly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq or AQI. Although the group never called itself al-Qaeda in Iraq, this remained its informal name for many years.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant#cite_note-ctc29May-61

In January 2006, AQI merged with several other Sunni insurgent groups to form the Mujahideen Shura Council (MSC). After al-Zarqawi was killed in June 2006, the MSC merged in October 2006 with several more insurgent factions to form a new group, ad-Dawlah al-ʻIraq al-Islāmiyah, which translates as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). The ISI was led by Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri, who were killed in a US–Iraqi operation in April 2010, after which Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi became the group's new leader.

1999? Oh, so it's under Bill's term they got founded. There you go. Still her fault :p
They started basically as the Popular People's Front of Judea. And then Bush got elected and he didn't take Clinton's advice about al queda and we all know how that went.

Yeah, this is what we need - less regulation on the environment. Dude is a genius and listens too much to Gas's insane ramblings on the environment.

Well, that article is from May, so I highly doubt my recent comments played much part in Trump's speech there :p

But yeah, "global warming treaties" are really just the latest favorite tool for watermelon environmentalists to throw sand in the gears of capitalist economies.

It's a pity Trump can't be trusted to mean anything he says. Well, not so much a pity, because it's unlikely he'll win at this point, so it's kinda moot.

It is from March, isn't it? Well then. He's probably changed his mind on that by now. He's nothing if not inconsistent.

Damn it. Again, multitasking. Poorly. Trying to comment in two places, work, and read some documentation.

I should focus.

I'm starting to think it's got to be that Trump just really doesn't want to be president. He probably started a run as an ego trip with him thinking it would last a month, and it all just spiraled out of control. Now he's in "oh, shit" mode, and is trying to lose because he knows how hopelessly unprepared he is for the presidency.

Or he's got dementia.

Well, so long as you're making those mistakes here. We can't fire you.[DOUBLEPOST=1470936580,1470936458][/DOUBLEPOST]

Well no he doesn't. He's got plans to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon next year.

You sure about that? All the mods that have access to the mod area have all my passwords in case things go tits-up or I get hit by a bus. It would be super easy for someone to lock me out. They'd just have to pay the $25 a month to keep us going.

If I died tomorrow this place could continue on unencumbered.

My bet is he's involved in some sort of whacky Brewster's Millions plot, and his campaign success is a continued detriment to it.

Dude. This place would be so heavily encumbered. Our movement speed would be down to 0, like adventurers looting a dragon's lair. Only, it wouldn't be +5 swords and suits of adamantine weighing us down.

it'd be grief

Many people during the primaries pointed out he was a democrat until 10 years ago, and best buds with the Clintons in the 90s, asserting his entire candidacy was a giant false flag operation designed to deliver the election to Hillary.
