If the Queen, gawd bless 'er, does feel it her duty to meet this appalling person it'll be in some god-forsaken spot in the Scottish Highlands, mark my words. That's her turf : she could just shoot the mofo on the spot and nobody would bat an eyelid.

From what I understand, she was a bit of a sportswoman in her youth. Joined the family in hunting, deer stalking and all that. I'm sure she still knows her way around a firearm.:boxedin:

Coaching Trump
-Mr President, it's nearly two weeks since those boys died, it's beginning to look bad
-Can we sue the parents?
- Mr President, we think the best course of action would be for you to contact their parents
-Me? Why can't my lawyers do it? I've got this New York Jew, he's a real bulldog...
- Mr President, we feel the optics would be best if you were to do it personally.
-?
- Offer consolation. Particularly to the mothers, it is a difficult time for them.
-Oh, women's troubles. Like with that reporter I got fired from Fox...
- No, Mr President. The mothers might need consolation because their sons have been killed in action.
-Ok. I think I understand. Bring them in then.
-Mr President?
-They aren't here?
- No, Mr President.
-How can I kiss these mothers if they're not here?
-Mr President?
-I'm a great kisser, really the best. You want me to console the mothers, so obviously I have to kiss them. I can't do that if I can't touch them.
-Mr President, we think the best course of action, given your busy schedule, is to call them on the telephone.
-Call them on the phone? To console them? Do you really think that will work?
-We feel it's the best course of action sir.
-Wow. But no, that's great, I have a tee time coming up. Talk on the phone. Beautiful. Console the mothers. I really didn't sign up for this, but if you think it's what I should do...


...Mrs Woman, I'm sorry for your loss, but he knew what he was signing up for though, I'm sending you a check for twenty-five grand. You're fired.

I wouldn't even know about cultural appropriation if not for conservatives searching every corner of social media for people that believe in it.

On the other hand wanting to destroy the environment is a huge central plank of being a modern conservative. Look at how Trump gets huge marks from registered Republicans for doing all sorts of terrible things to the environment.

I still stick by fiscal conservatism as a defining factor. YMMV.

Which part of cutting taxes and increasing military spending is "fiscally conservative"?

It redirects government interference in the economy from areas in which it has no legitimate business to one of the few areas of the economy in which it does have legitimate business (i.e. providing for the national defense).

What parts of our national defense are currently insufficient to defend the USA?

You are arguing the will of the people is legitimately constrained by a policy model of your preference. How do you support this claim?

I want our military to have such an enormous advantage over any other such that other countries won't even bother to think about competing with us, let alone compete with us. Unfortunately, Obama didn't understand that important strategic principle, and now we have more of an arms race against China, and perhaps Russia, Iran, and North Korea, than would have been necessary.

Even now, in confronting North Korea, Trump has had to recall reserve pilots in order to provide the show of military force necessary to drain North Korea's resources (by keeping its military on constant alert) and frighten it into compliance.

Also, the US military has traditionally sought a the capability to fight two wars on opposite sides of the globe at the same time. We do not currently have that capability, so that if we do get into a major conflict somewhere, our enemies elsewhere will be able to take advantage.

We already have that military. I wonder if there will ever come a time when a foreign power can defeat us on a new field of battle. One that doesn't use bombs, bullets or tanks. I wonder what it could look like.

Like perhaps using the remarkably gullible and stupid portion of America and duping them into electing THEIR candidate.

pfft... like that'll ever happen, amirite?

Disagreeing with you is not the same as failing to understand.
