As a guy who leans pretty liberal I thought this was great and he nails it on why they keep losing

The fact that Saudi Arabia isn't on that list makes it even more of a joke. The fact that they have beaucoup oil and money doesn't negate the fact that most of the 9/11 terrorists were from there, they covertly support several major terrorist groups, and that almost every major terrorist action usually includes a Saudi national.

I agree whole-heartedly. Unfortunately, they control OPEC. They could retaliate with an embargo like they did in the 70's. Those were fun times.

President Donald Trump is reshuffling the US National Security Council (NSC), downgrading the military chiefs of staff and giving a regular seat to his chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Mr Bannon, formerly the head of the populist right-wing, Breitbart News website, will join high-level discussions about national security.

The order was signed on Saturday.

The director of national intelligence and the joint chiefs will attend when discussions pertain to their areas.

Under previous administrations, the director and joint chiefs attended all meetings of the NSC's inner circle, the principals' committee.
Seems logical :lol:

If that executive order regarding the LGBT stuff is true, I think we'll all be on the same page mocking Trump, which won't be any fun!!

The best part about this is that if you only read the URL you would think everything was going back to the 1950's for the gay community. Makes you wonder if the washington post is trying to subtly influence peoples thoughts.

Exactly like it does today. Too many pussies out there to truly create change. Everyone wants to "protest" (riot) rather than going out and making a difference for change.

Hopefully more technologically advanced but who knows I'm not a psychic.

As for your snarky comment.. America changed from 4 yrs ago. 4 years ago I could call u a faggot in convo n ppl thought nothing of it. Now? More consciously aware. That's just 1 example. Advancements in medical and tech. I'm sure there's other changes.. oh ya a retard is president. So 4 yrs is a long time

Wasn't snarky, it's an honest question, what is going to happen and how will things look 4 years from now? You didn't really answer, fwiw.

Ok.

I think in a couple of months all of this will die down, and we won't really see many, if any, protests. People will go back to their normal lives, and for the vast, vast majority of Americans, you won't really see a change to your daily routine.

That's how I see it playing out.

That works, if Trump can keep himself from stirring the pot on a daily basis. Things don't tend to settle down when the agitation doesn't go away...
