    Will definitely concede that his hair is just a shockingly ginormous comb over and not a wig, lol. And FTR, I actually think his hairdo suits him. It's fucking weird, but it works for him in some crazy way. I think his hair is the best thing about him actually. :lol:

    It's also EXACTLY what he said.
    Yeah I don’t doubt either. I read some of the lines separated in the first article on CNN about the 40-something things trump said

    Honest question.. How do you guys find energy for this world and its bullshit anymore?
    What choice do we have? The only other option is to live in blissful ignorance (which I know a LOT of people do)... I don't see that as a viable option personally. 

    I refuse to allow any disease or person cause me to give up on wanting to be alive and happy and informed.
    So being "informed" lately has made you happy?

    My guess is it's the exact opposite... you're not being "informed" by mainstream media on either side, you're being spoonfed bullshit and its toxic... unless porn stars tweeting about Trumps dick is informed 

    If a person watches CNN or Foxnews every day, but doesnt know their neighbors name, are they really informed about the world?

    Turn off the bullshit, say hi to a stranger, and try to make the world a better place with your own two hands. That's real. That's being the change you wish to see in the world. 

    In college I consciously made a decision that i did not want to work for profit or anybody's bottom line, and chose a career path that I knew I would be sacrificing earnings for my lifetime... I chose a career helping at-risk youth in my local community, because I used to be one of them, I made a decision to dedicate my career to helping my community. That is being the change you wish to see.

    Deciding to not be distracted by the toxic circus of modern western media/political culture and society is not being uninformed, it's quite the opposite. Also, I choose to come here because I like it, and I like the debate, and frankly there are some smart folks here with great ideas, so I intend to always come here.

    Like my boy Lukas Nelson says, turn off the fucking news


    You took one sentence out of my post and did not consider the person to whom I was responding.  I don't know what your motivation is or why you choose to intentionally equate interest and knowledge in politics as bad. Or that it is the only thing that someone does. 

    I do not believe that you are supposed to just pull one line out of someone's post and then go to town. I do not need a lecture on how to be a citizen or how to interpret information. So please stop assuming you know anything about me, esp when you just take one sentence as a basis to toot your own horn.

    Rather aggressive post, perhaps take your own advice and unplug.

    Well I was being serious, lol. I really do think he's hair works for him. The sunbed goggle problem does not, lol.
    I wonder what he looks without a tan?? He should try it!

    I took you as serious - lol.  And I get what you're saying.  He takes a prescription medication to induce hair growth and I have tried to figure out how his hair is truly configured. I think that he is completely bald in the middle and that he grows one side really long in order to do the elaborate comb over. It is certainly a signature look of his and being a branding whiz - his hair has become part of his brand. 

    He is a combination of tanning bed and make-up  and, truthfully, I'm not eager to see what he would look like in his 'natural' form.

    Yeah I don’t doubt either. I read some of the lines separated in the first article on CNN about the 40-something things trump said  
    He was given the chance to take back his comments about the reporter and he (shockingly) double downed. So Trump finds people who body slam reporters and are arrested for assault 'his kind of guy'. And regularly calls reporters and Democrats evil. And his mob goes wild. I do not understand.

    Rather aggressive post too.

    Why are you taking my post and difference of opinion so personally? This is pretty much exactly what im talking about. But it's all good, we are on the same side for the most part even if you dont realize it.

    Americas problems go way beyond Trump... they were here before him and will be here after him.

    Quite elaborate, indeed. And you are correct about being bald on top. Here's what Ivanka said about it:
     “She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate—a contained island after scalp-reduction ­surgery—surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray.”

    I say so both, tune into current events, both the dramatic popular garbage, and also the newsworthy stuff that gets overlooked. Then also have real interactions with people. It works for me because I integrate the two. It actually makes trump news more interesting and the fact that people support him more fascinating. How do we have all these cool people around and have trump as president at the same time?

    It's not about him personally,  it's about a state sanctioned murder of resident alien and employee of the Post, by a supposed ally and proponent of freedom of the press.

      Well, there isn't much left of him, so why bother about 'the dude'.  You are right in step with the President and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

    Now how about those children in cages - that bug you or you cool with that?

    I've just been skimming many of the posts- only stopping to point out the silly, lower level ones like Unsung's who claims 'he hates liars' while tripping over himself to defend McDonald.

    Things have gotten a bit more serious for me. Can someone please clarify the following for me:

    1. Did the Saudis dismember an American resident from Virginia while he was still alive... with a bone saw?
    2. Did the Saudis try and cover it up?
    3. Did the Trump administration accept the promises of Saudi rulers to conduct their own investigation into the disappearance (despite Turkish assertions that prominent people in the royal court had ordered his execution)?

    Thanks in advance.
    1. They cut off his fingers while he was alive before beheading him.
    2. Guy goes into the consulant and never comes out, Saudis are covering up what happened to him, so yes.
    3. Yes and Team Trump Treason via Pompouso gave the Saudis a few more days to get their story straight.

    Sad.
    He was a Saudi with American residency who was engaged with 2 American children. 
    He was told by the Saudi's that he needed paperwork to make it a legitimate marriage in their eyes.
    He wanted to make things right with SA because, although he was a proponent of free speech and against the direction SA has taken, he struggled with loving being a Saudi living in self exile in order to speak truth to power. 

    SA sent in a cleaning crew to the consulate before Turkey could send in their forensic people.
    SA prevented Turkey from going to the consul general's home until last night and after they had brought the consul, his wife, his children and the housekeeper back to SA so there are no witnesses to interview.
    There is proof that, besides the major cleaning, they repainted a wall in the consul general's home.

    1. A forensic expert was sent to SA and entered the consulate with a bone saw, even though it is impossible to get a pointy car key into a consulate. 
    2. The Saudi's said that he a - left the building then b - got cold feet about marriage and disappeared c - was possibly hurt/killed in an interrogation con wrong d- rogue SA people interrogated and killed him e - still have not given a straight answer except that MBS had nothing to do with it.
    3. Trump and Pompeo tested out the rogue element excuse on the American public.
    4. We knew that SA was planning something ahead of Kashoggi going to Turkey through our intelligence but did not tell him.
    5. Trump has not looked or listened to the tapes that Turkey has yet, though intelligence has. 
    6. The tapes purport that he was immediately taken to a room upon entering the consulate and was interrogated, had fingers cut off and beheaded while alive and the forensic expert told the other SA's that listening to music makes dismembering less unpleasant. He turned on music for himself - not known if they did. It appears that his body was taken from the consulate to the consul general's home for the dismemberment and possibly beheading. 
    7. Pieces of his body  reportedly have been dumped all over Turkey.
    8. Trump said today (he disappered on the 2nd) that it looks like Kashoggi was killed. Duh.
    9. Nothing is done by SA without MBS's approval. Nothing. And we know this. 

    The saddest thing about this gruesome incident is that he agreed to go to the consulate because he wanted to marry within SA guidelines, but it was just a ruse.

    Trump is covering up with him because of SA's political importance in the MidEast and Jared's affection for MBS. The SA role is complicated and always has been but things have gotten worse since MBS has taken over from the ailing King. We should have denounced this immediately instead of trying to help them cover up such a heinous act done to an American resident on another foreign country's soil. 

    Everythng Halifax said was correct, I just needed to get all the gruesome details out of my head and express my disbelief at how America has become a place that I do not recognize. 
    Yep I agree 
    reminds me of goodfellas...when Tommy thinks he is being "made" and they shoot him.

    It's a great mystery to me that so many Americans think so highly of Trump.  A great and terrible mystery.

    Hey I call them like I see them, he was right. 
    by the way, it was “my neck of the woods.”  When you want to use my own words use them right.

    Ok whatever, I am not understanding your point. He emphasized a long time ago and everyone on the forum downplayed it; turns out he was right.

    I hated it! I think it’s super messed up,  don’t tell me you actually think this wasn’t done before trump, do you?  Trump made it common practice, but Obama separated them also.  Where was the outrage when Obama did it?
