Starlord Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 That occurred a few hours after he literally looked to the heavens and declared himself 'the chosen one' re: the trade war with China and retweeting a declaration that he's 'the second coming of God' for Jews. You can't make this s#@t up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShomshak Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 And an AP article a couple days ago says Evangelical leaders are entirely satisfied with Trump's performance and predict Evangelicals will vote for him in even higher percentages in 2020. Comparing himself to God and Jesus? Pfft. What's a little blasphemy, so long as he appoints anti-abortion, anti-LGBT+ judges?

I wonder what he would do if Denmark claimed PR as a territory. Seriously Puerto Ricans should jump at the chance. It's obvious they'll never be treated fairly, or even decently, by America.

Seriously Puerto Ricans should jump at the chance. It's obvious they'll never be treated fairly, or even decently, by America. If Puerto Rico could decide as a group what they wanted from the US, it would be likely that the US could treat them more fairly. Some of them strongly want independence. Some of them strongly want statehood. Some of them strongly want to keep the current status but get more economic assistance and assorted non-economic benefits (the specifics of which vary almost from person to person). I know what I'd do with Puerto Rico if I were given control over the situation. But it's difficult to build any kind of political consensus for major changes in any direction until they coalesce behind some idea of what they'd be satisfied with.

Old Man Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Who's talking about statehood? The place was eradicated two years ago and barely has electricity and clean water, largely because the administration flatly refuses to send aid to brown people. And it's not as though statehood is helping citizens get clean water in Michigan either. Pattern Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickstaPriest Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Meanwhile, that Amazon. edit: Yeah, I've been telling friends for over a year Puerto Rico has to leave the US. They have no choice now. But they have to find someone willing to help rebuild them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I believe he's referring to Jacklyn "Jack" Lucas, who joined the Marines at fourteen and earned the Medal Of Honor at seventeen. If any justification was needed for having Bucky Barnes as Captain America's partner/ally, Lucas would be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Old Man's post gave me enough information to find out what was meant by the OP. I had to dig for the result, though, as it's apparently no longer fresh enough to appear near the top of the page for either Google or various news sites, and I've been mostly away from news sites for the majority of the day. Amazon's new office building in Hyderabad is still trending near the top, though. It shows what's a priority in the minds of news organizations.

Old Man Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 What's happening in the Amazon is so horrifying that it's almost beyond comprehension. It's incredible how much one corrupt regime can screw everyone on the planet. These guys are literally burning as fast as they can, to gain themselves as much poorly productive farmland as they can, before somebody stops them. Six soccer fields of rainforest burned down in the time it took me to type this. There are ashfalls in Sao Paulo, thousands of miles away. Numerous indigenous tribes have been rendered homeless just in the past few days. It's one of the most glaring cases of FYIGM I've ever seen. I suppose I should be used to it by now, as a citizen of the most powerful corrupt government in the universe, but I'm not. Between the eradication of the Amazon, and the fact that Greenland's ice sheet is melting orders of magnitude faster than expected, this has not been a great week in environmental news.
