Trump a rascist?



Trump is dumping everything at once! This huge distraction was planned. He is doing Stalinist purges and trampling the rights of minorities. Putin could only have 2 terms, but he changed the rules and turned into a dictator and installed a Oligarchy. Trump has learned alot from the ex-KGB officer.

The destruction of democracy is coming.

Meanwhile, John Brennan, John Bolton, James Clapper, and 47 other former anti-Trump intelligence officials have been banned from entering any U.S. government-owned building as state security risks. The wonderful Ilhan Omar is even endorsing Trump on the ban!

A president who's spent his whole life in criminal enterprises commits a crime and subverts the legitimate law of the land. There's a big surprise! Yawn.

Lol. Most of my alcohol is wine, and most of the time I buy local.

If I drink beer, I'll usually pay the premium to get Czech or Danish imports.

My whiskeys are all Canadian.

My most commonly consumed hard liquor is Beefeater or Gilbey's, both British.

Let's discuss facts:

The USAID budget totalled $43.4 billion in fiscal year 2023, according to the Congressional Research Service, and approximately 130 countries received USAID assistance—Europe and Eurasia received 40% of the funding ($17.2 billion), since Ukraine was the top foreign recipient for USAID in fiscal year 2023.

Tangent
Washington, D.C.-based Chemonics International, which works with developing countries to solve problems related to issues from banking to health care, said it will take “several cost reduction measures, including furloughing many of our staff,” in response to the USAID freeze as a result of an executive order Trump implemented during his first week in office pausing all U.S. foreign assistance for 90 days, NewsNation reported.

(...)
What Is Happening At Usaid?
Trump issued an executive order during his first week in office ordering a 90-day freeze of all foreign U.S. assistance, pending a spending review, with an exemption for emergency food programs and military aid to Israel and Egypt. Musk, who heads the newly created task force known as the Department of Government Efficiency, said early Monday in an audio discussion on X that he and Trump were working to shut the agency down, after Trump on Sunday criticized USAID, telling reporters it was “run by a bunch of radical lunatics.”

I did NOT picture you as a wine drinker. This would be a good sep thread.

Dude.....being a Hoser, it's heretical that you spelled whisky with an "e" I guess being a classy wine drinker, you're just not concerned...lol

Next to Canuk whiskey (McNaughtons is my go-to), gin is my number 2. I am a die hard Tanqueray guy. Gins are fun in that they're all SO different. Tons of niche distilleries around here that make some very interesting blends.

[riskllama]

nah, man - whiskey is spelled w/an e up here, KB. if you're looking for some damn fine gin, try out the Kyro distillery up Finland way. pricey, but totally worth it imo. for, I also enjoy red wine a fair bit - white gives me heartburn, w/o exception...

[KoolBak]

Dude...EVERY Canadian I've ever seen has no "e". Here and there. Here's a random google blurb:

The spelling of the alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash varies depending on the country of origin. "Whiskey" is commonly used in the United States and Ireland, while the rest of the world, including Japan, Scotland, and Canada, uses "whisky". The word originated from Gaelic for "water of life"

Here's the Crown Royal website, arguably the most well known Canadian. No "e".

https://www.crownroyal.com/

If it's a blended Canadian, there's no "e", I do believe...

Show me a pic brother.

And I will look for that gin.....

[Pack Rat]

I do believe the alcoholics win this thread.

My Wild Turkey days/nights are over with. Sticking with beer and maybe a little weed.

[KoolBak]

You are simply incapable of being decent, eh?

Because I enjoy quality product, I'm an alcoholic? As far as drinking problems go, I've seen more beer/wine abusers than high end spirits. Throw in the devil-weed and now I understand your warped views of the world. Still don't understand the general negativity, but hey....I also don't fucking care

Continue this elsewhere RL....

[Dukasaur]

You feeling okay, KB? That would have been the the kind of casual joke that would have passed for friendly banter anywhere I've ever worked.

[KoolBak]

Yeah, you're right. But I don't believe that particular person is capable of that type of humor?

Totally my bad and apologies if I overreacted

[Pack Rat]

Aren't we being a baby.

Casual humor among the guys and you have fit. AA is here to help your alcohol driven rants.

[Dukasaur]

Jesus, Pack rat. The classy thing would have been to accept the apology and pass along some warm fuzzies.

I guess they don't teach class in class nowadays.

[KoolBak]

not even gonna look...lol

This not an apology, duh.

I can understand why your long and sweet relationship with your tenure buddy is confusing you. He/she didn't apologize and I didn't ask for it. He/her has been verbally bombastic and silly toward me, since day one.


I have never directed any personal comments toward him/her, until now. He/she has a bug up his ass, just because I won't respond to his repeated attempts to draw me into a romantic relationship with him/her.

I would like to take this time and tell him/her to stop sending me emails. I'm straight and not into that homoerotic sh!t.

Really Duk, I know you have a really big heart, but your support for this unnamed Neanderthal who obviously has issues in RL is bleeding into this forum.

The journey into sobriety
In 12-step programs, an individual is sober when they are no longer partaking in the behavior or substance to which they are addicted and living a better life following the program. Both are necessary to achieve sobriety.
is one that requires commitment, support, and a structured pathway to recovery
The process by which addicts attempt to break the hold a certain substance or behavior has on their lives. This can refer to participation in a wide variety of methods. What they all have in common, is a sense that life is improving and the addict is regaining control.
. The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
The original 12-step fellowship, formed in 1935, to help alcoholics, regain control over their lives. It remains the largest 12-step organization and has contributed to the sobriety of millions worldwide. Read more about Alcoholics Anonymous
provide this framework, laying out a spiritual course of action for individuals struggling with addiction.

I truly wish that this individual seeks the spiritual and professional help he needs to not only help him/herself, but his/her relationships with others.
