hammerva Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The definition of "alternative facts" from the man himself in an interview to Sean hannity Quote "The press was trying to make it seem like we were ignoring the facts," Spicer told Fox News' Sean Hannity during an interview that aired Tuesday night. "The facts are, sometimes when you look at a situation, in the same way that you can look at a weather report. One weather report comes out and says it's going to be cloudy and another says it’s going to be light rain. No one lied to you, it just means you interpreted the data in a way that you felt got you to a conclusion." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hang on tight, dudes. We're in for an insane four years. If we can just hold off the descent into a Mad Max style hellscape, they might do enough irreparable damage to the Republican party that it's a good long time before anyone trusts them with the presidency again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 It's probably a good thing that those of us under, what, 50? didn't really grow up with the fear of nuclear annihilation. So we don't really know how to be terrified that a nuclear holocaust is more likely now than it's been in decades. I mean, I'm not sure most of us are capable of nuclear fears. I know that I'm not, while at the same time I know that, rationally, it's a very real, very present threat, especially with some bozo in the White House making light of nuclear proliferation.

Cristobal Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 "Alternative facts" was Kellyanne Conway's line. And he'd still be getting roasted. There aren't "different perspectives" on math. There's a right number and a shit ton of wrong numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Piranesi/The Real Ryan ticket in 2020, watch for it! Yes, we're using our board handles and we will be cloaked in darkness at all times. I don't know Piranesi's age, but if he's no 35 by then, I'll switch to the top of the ticket.

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Trump says we have to pay for the wall first but then Mexico in some "complicated something" will pay for it. Meanwhile, Mexico is saying under no circumstances are they paying for the quote "fucking wall". Also, 59% of Americans don't want the wall. 74% of Americans believe we will end up paying for the wall. Good shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 No, also, good luck negotiating with the private land owners who own the land they want to use. I don't think they can use an eminent domain thing here. On the other side of things, Trump's approval rating is over 70%! In Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know why there's no Politics thread so I won't bother suggesting one. But considering the overall tone of such topics if one were to happen I don't sense the epic calamity that previous versions took on. Then again I've been here since '02 and have been proven wrong many times on such assumptions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The only thing I got going on right now is a terrible cold and for some reason I decided to go to work yesterday and today. Sometimes I feel like I'm freezing. Sometimes I feel like I'm burning up. I haven't been able to use my sense of smell in 72 hours. This is some bullshit. I'm supposed to have a lot of people over on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I don't want to keep hammering politics in this thread, but on theInternational Holocaust Remembrance Day, the President of the United States of America released a statement about the International Holocaust Remembrance Day that literally did not mention Jewish people and this legitimately terrifies me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 There's more legal battles to come. Also, they seem to be openly ignoring and defying it in places. Is Steve Bannon our actual president? I don't remember him on the ballot. At least Cheney was technically elected when he "ran" the white house.
