Random Politics & Religion #22

It is fun to remind supporters and detractors of their previous stances.

Like Obama wanting to do the same thing but didn't get support from congress and backed off due to lack of congressional support.

Lol, well #1 didn't happen at all, Susan Rice did nothing wrong and you haven't shown anything indicating she did. I'm sure you will link to all of your posts which at best proved nothing or at worst proved she did nothing wrong.
And #3 didn't really happen either, we have to see what Trump's next move regarding Syria is. And unless he aims to remove Assad, its going to be back to the Obama strategy.

New airstrikes targeted a town in Syria that was hit by a chemical attack earlier this week, activists said, less than a day after the US bombarded a Syrian airbase to "send a message" to the Assad regime.

It wasn't immediately clear who conducted the strikes on Khan Sheikhoun, which was hit on Friday and Saturday, though only Russian and Syrian regime aircraft have been bombing that area of rebel-held Idlib province.
The latest attacks follow a missile strike early Friday by the United States on a base in western Syria that the US says was used to launch Tuesday's chemical attack, which left more than 85 people dead and hundreds more injured.
The new strikes came as Russia, the Syrian regime's main ally, sent a frigate armed with cruise missiles to a Syrian port in an apparent show of force in response to the US strike.

Syrian airstrikes resume on city hit by chemical attack


Back in reality, the Syrian war continues, civilians continue to be targeted, and that airfield is still operational.

Oh ok, so killing civilians in mass is perfectly acceptable, as long as chemical weapons aren't used. How noble.

Oh ok, so killing civilians in mass is perfectly acceptable, as long as chemical weapons aren't used. How noble.

Okay Mr. Vic, what do you want to do about it? Send us into another Iraq situation and escalate things with Russia just so you can later turn it around on Trump like the Democrats did to Bush?

Oh ok, so killing civilians in mass is perfectly acceptable, as long as chemical weapons aren't used. How noble.

So you support the Obama strategy then? Quick to criticize the red line statement but secretly have no problem with staying out of Syria.
Assad and Putin sent a clear message today, yeah, you blew up some replaceable antiques, but we don't care. Assad is still in power and he isn't going anywhere.

Congratulations to our great military men and women for representing the United States, and the world, so well in the Syria attack.

So what? Its a photo shoot, a PR move. If thats all that is gonna happen then the happiest guys on Earth right now are Putin and Assad.


Trump patting himself on the back while Assad is back to killing his own people. But hey, a red line was enforced.

It's a shot across the bow. It's a common military tactic. What'd you expect Trump to do? Nuke Assad's capital? I'm not used to seeing liberals so war hungry, but it's nice to know you disagree with Obama's strategy.

Well I mean if obama had actually gotten rid of the gas LIKE HE CLAIMED TO HAVE DONR, Trump wouldn't have had to do it for him.

lol, don't know anything about Sarin do you?

The latest numbers on American birth rates are in, and they yield only one reasonable conclusion: All of us need to start having more babies or else the upcoming demographic tsunami will consume our nation, cripple our social programs, and leave us with a future so bleak that our only source of joy will be the moment we’re chosen to receive the sweet, fatal kiss of the Obamacare Death Panels, the Trumpcare Firing Squads, or the OprahCare Hemlock Squadrons.

Perhaps I’m overstating the danger a bit, but the point remains: Americans need to raise our sagging birth rates. One of the best ways we can do so is by reversing the trend of Americans waiting longer to get married. So, apart from tearing down America’s institutions of higher education, which tend to slow down the recitation of wedding vows, how do we do that? It’s quite simple. We tear down the Friend Zone.

Every year, countless young men find themselves trapped in the Friend Zone, a prison where women place any man they deem worthy of their time but not their hearts, men they’d love to have dinner with but, for whatever reason, don’t want to kiss goodnight.

Being caught in the Friend Zone is an inarguable drag on fertility rates, as a man who spends several years pledging his heart to a woman who will never have his children is also a man who most likely won’t procreate with anyone else during that time of incarceration. Free him to find a woman who actually wants to marry him, however, and he’ll have several more years to sire children who will laugh, create, sing, fill the world with love and, most importantly, pay into Social Security.

Quite simply, for the sake of our future, the Friend Zone must be destroyed. For the Friend Zone to be destroyed, women must accept the following truths: you don’t have any guy friends and, in fact, you can’t have any guy friends.

If He’s Spending Time Alone With You, He Wants a Date
By “friends,” I don’t mean acquaintances or chummy colleagues you only see at work, or friends of friends that you don’t get together with outside of a group setting, or what I call buffer-zone friends—people of the opposite sex you can be friends with because there is a significant other in between to take the romantic element out of the equation. Rather, by “friend” I mean someone you deliberately choose to spend one-on-one time with.

Likewise, I’m also asserting that a man can’t truly be your friend if he secretly wants to date you. Virtually every man who meets the one-on-one qualification does, in fact, want to date you. To understand why, it helps to look at things from an economic perspective.

Imagine that friendship is a good that people acquire in exchange for the currency of their time. The average man lives in a competitive friendship market where some forms of friendship appeal to him more than others and therefore get his business. What then, is the average man looking for in a friend? By and large, something along these lines:

Someone who shares his interest in activities such as watching movies where things explode, playing video games where things explode, or putting fireworks in things so they’ll explode. Bonus points if you enjoy yelling at football players through the television set and laughing at noxious flatulence.

Someone who won’t pressure him to open up beyond his comfort level if his girlfriend breaks up with him,he loses his job, or his mom gets eaten by a yeti.

Someone who cherishes the man tradition of showing affection through insults and general jackassery.

If you are a lady who believes your dude friends are genuinely “just friends,” ask yourself this: Which of these things are you better at giving a man than another man is?
The answer is clear. None of them. You are not especially good at liking “Karate Ninja 7: Exploding Hands of Fury,” or informing the offensive line of the Chicago Bears, via your Samsung, that they are all false starting idiots.

When a guy is comfortable within the borders of Emotional-Repression-ville, you’re not great at letting him stay there. When he makes you cough and hack by releasing Taco Bell-fueled hell gas in your general direction, you don’t respond by complimenting him on his notable wind-breaking abilities.

If a guy wants to show you how much he values your friendship by calling you turd blossom or making you think you’re going to die in a skydiving accident, you probably won’t take that as a display of tenderness. By and large, you are not very good at supplying the kind of friendship the average man demands.

There’s Only One Thing You Can Give His Man Friends Can’t
If, then, the average male coworker, male neighbor, or male Nepalese yak herder is better at producing masculine companionship, why is an average man giving his business to you? It’s not because he wants your friendship. It’s because he wants to convince you to open up the supply chain of a romantic relationship to him, and he foolishly believes he can do so by being a loyal friendship customer. “Pay my dues in the Friend Zone,” he thinks, “and one day she’ll promote me to boyfriend.”

Just because men don’t want to be your friend, however, doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy your company. They most certainly do. They love discovering how you see the world, what you think about life, the universe, and everything. They love your kindness, thoughtfulness, sensitivity, support, and your nurturing heart. They love being in your presence when you display the wonders of the feminine virtues.

But because God designed these virtues to entice men into marriage, the average man will never be content to receive those gifts in a form of companionship that doesn’t lead to marriage. Quite simply, men can’t be at peace being just friends. And there’s nothing you can do to change that. Platonic chilling won’t stop your inner (and outer) beauty from pulling a man towards romantic love. Telling him he’s like a brother to you won’t stop his brain from shouting “Marry that woman and impregnate her now” when he encounters your femininity.

Repeat the “We’re just friends” mantra a thousand times. It won’t rewire the circuits of the male mind. All it will accomplish is deluding you into thinking he’s content to stay in the Friend Zone quicksand and deluding him into thinking he can break out of it by sinking even deeper.

Accept the truth, ladies. You don’t have any guy friends. You can’t have any guy friends. And because America can no longer afford to have its young adults waste their fertile years thinking otherwise, the time has come to tear down the Friend Zone and set free every man trapped within its confines.

Take a New Look at Your Best Man Friend
Consider your best guy friend. Are you attracted to him? Does he fill you with the biological desire to repopulate the earth? If not, then do your “friend” a solid and let him go. Call him up and tell him, “It’s not my fault that your facial symmetry grosses out my ovaries, but it was my fault that I got your hopes up by putting you in the Friend Zone. As restitution, please accept the phone numbers of five girls I know who find you attractive. Stop wasting your time with me and go hang out with a girl who might one day bear your children.”

So get brave. Get married.
Do this now. Don’t hesitate, thinking that you don’t want to lose him as a friend. The truth is, you’ve never had him as one.
Conversely, if you find your guy friend attractive, and if you see him as a man of character and heart, then call him right now and tell him that he was placed in the Friend Zone due to a clerical error. Say to him, “You make me laugh and would be a great husband and father. Clearly, you need to be on the express track to the Marriage Zone.”

Don’t worry that he’ll reject you. Just as the vast majority of mythological sailors didn’t want to crash their ships into the rocks when they pursued the beauty of the sirens’ song, he most certainly didn’t want to end up here when he began pursuing your song. Don’t worry that he was genuinely only in this for the friendship. Truth be told, you were never particularly good at offering him that in the first place. But you will be quite good at offering him what God designed you to give him—marital bliss.
So get brave. Get married. Get pregnant a bunch of times and give birth to a bunch of beautiful little future taxpayers. The time has come to fight for our future. The time has come to rebuild America’s demographic glory atop the rubble of the fertility-killing Friend Zone.

National Task Force raided the apartment in Vårberg - particularly surprised and shocked neighbors.

According to a witness "Sometimes six people" lived in the apartment where the 39-year-old suspect is believed to have been before the attack on Drottninggatan.

- It is completely unreal. When it is one's neighbor is frighteningly close, says Patrick Behnke, 40, who lives next door to the men who were taken by police.

On Saturday afternoon, police made two raids in Stockholm linked to the suspected terrorist attack in Stockholm.

Masked police officers in camouflage clothing broke into an apartment in the Stockholm suburb of Vårberg, where the man believed to have committed the attack had been just hours before the fatal attack, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

- Police took one person away, said an eyewitness to Aftonbladet reporters on location in Miami.

Half an hour later they came out with another man, wearing a hood.

A moment later, technicians carry out brown bags out of the apartment with the alleged evidence. The engineers also carried out computer bags from the apartment in question and photographed in the bins outside the building.

In the yard a large crowd gathered. Afterwards many were shaken over the incident.

Norwegian VG talked to Patrick Behnke, who lives next door to the people who were taken by the police.

- This totally unreal. You know that these people can be anyone that you see on the street. But when it's your neighbor, it feels horrifyingly close, he told the newspaper.

He says that those who lived in the apartment mostly kept to themselves.

- This is really a quiet area. The neighbors are nice, but these men we have never talked to, he says to VG.

Another neighbor said that many people live in the apartment, both women and men.

- There are many people coming and going. I do not know how many people live there. At least three adults. I've talked to a man who lives there. He said he comes from Uzbekistan, said the person, and continues:

- There were people in the apartment yesterday, but I do not know who was there.

Another neighbor said:

- The are four, five, sometimes six people inside. They sleep on the floor, there's no furniture left, the guy who rents to them took the furniture with him. They are always very kind, they help me to carry heavy things. They make no noise.

Police would not currently comment on the crackdown that has been made in the terror investigation.

- We have from the beginning said that we will not give out too much information in regards to the investigation of a serious crime and the interests of individuals, says Kjell Lindgren at Stockholm police.

While crusing one of King's favorite references I found this dandy:

Why Men and Women Can Never Be ‘Just Friends’
To destroy the Friend Zone, women must accept the following truths: you don’t have any guy friends and, in fact, you can’t have any guy friends.
The Federalist.

Ok so I'm hearing a rumor that Trump is considering sending 150,000 ground troops into Syria. Can anyone confirm his? Guy named Mike Cernovich was talking about it.

Um, do you remember what the red line was? The red line was the use of chemical weapons. Trump enforced that, Obama didn't.
