Donald Trump running for president

Time for dinner at a restaurant with family boys....cant believe I found something else to do besides being here. Maybe Ill sneak back on my phone, lol.
 
Here's a bit of real talk for all us guys. Not looking for sympathy or anything. Today I helped lay to rest a great guy that I've only known a handful of years. He was 54 and diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer last may. He never got a colonoscopy when he turned 50. They would have found a polyp if he did. He went from a hulk of a man with Lee Priest arms to 120lbs. He was truly one of those guys that never made an enemy. Was a Deputy that worked the local jail and became a DARE officer and touched hundreds of lives with his kindness and spirit.

His faith and strength carried through even as his body deteriorated. His lasting wish is to implore everyone to get their preventative screenings done. So in memory and honor of Master Deputy McCoy, I pass that along to you guys.







Carry on with your regularly scheduled shenanigans.

sad story...more focus needs to be directed at colon and prostate cancers, they don't get nearly the attention breast cancer does, imo!!!

colonoscopies save lives as do prostate exams, not fun to talk about but less fun to find out you have cancer when it is too late to treat, imo.

thank you for sharing this...will say a prayer for MASTER DEPUTY McCOY and his family!!!

NATO??? They run and arm ISIS, come on, lets get real here. ISIS even drives NATO trucks all over the place.

I am confused... and scared. Jk lol :burger: Are you being serious or facetious in this post? I can't tell hehe

I don't think NATO is running or arming anyone. At least not anymore. The US armed rebels in Syria but that's a different story.

Sorry to hear of the loss. I would recommend getting screened even earlier than 50 especially for people who this may run in their family. This is definitely one thing I take seriously.

Billions of dollars in arms and equipment have been sent over there, who do you think has them all? They are using our own weapons against us.

The US and NATO finances regime changes, civil wars, etc....from Al-queda to now.

We are currently openly arming and financing the group they said took out 9/11 that started all these wars on terror, Al-queda that is....its a complicated mess, groups may have broken off the grid, etc...buts its chaos that is all caused by all these bad foreign policies and black ops.

Anyways I dont have the energy at the very moment to give out much more detail, but I certain respect skepticism as to what I am saying.

I have a hearty skepticism for conspiracy theories, but thank you for realizing that many do. :)
 
So CNN reports that the ISIS finance minister was killed....Hey Bernie, where are you!!! Should be celebrating the big win on the war on Wall Street!

So check this out, where do you think ISIS got all their weapons, and if ISIS controls oil fields that finances them billions of dollars to fund their operation, why doesnt NATO and the US just drop a bomb and destroy their oil fields?

Um, because we want the oil.
 
ax1 said:
Ok, so protecting the oil for Haliberton is far more important than winning the war on terror?
Click to expand...

Of course. I think that is the main reason.

If we defeat all the terrorists, we wouldn't have as much of an incentive to invade oil rich counties.

ax1 said:
When on a large scale are you talking about? The Iraq war? The first things they took were the oil fields.
Click to expand...

Yep, and there were huge bidding wars over who would get it. Halliburton won.

There are huge oil deposits under the surface of Iraq that hadn't even been tapped at the time of the Iraq war.

Show me the proof of ownership on those ISIS vehicles otherwise it's just words, lots and lots of boisterous words.

Show me the proof they went to the Iraqi dealership and financed them at a great APR and got some tax breaks too? Or maybe they marched to Japan and drove them back?, lol
 
Gutterpump said:
If you have no proof, it's just conjecture and speculation.
Click to expand...

We have proof of billions of dollars in official budgets and hundreds of thousands of weapons being dropped off all over the middle east to mysterious insurgent groups, the latest official # of syrian rebels trained by the USA that I remember was 7 (yes seven.)

So where's all the arms and dough bro?
 
However ISIS obtained those vehicles, they were acquired illegally (beit taken from Syrian rebels, stolen shipments, etc), not handed over to them on a silver plate.

So they hand them over billions of dollars in weapons, but they are too cheap to give them Toyota's?
 
Yes, that's exactly what they are doing. They've packaged up weapons with little red bows just for ISIS, with specialized nameplates.

How would you have felt back in 2002 after these wars started to get revenge for 9/11 that the USA would be openly funding, arming and aiding Al-queda within 10-15 years?
 
ax1 said:
No, but Ill bet if Al-Nusra solidifies their establishment, within 10 years they will bomb us too and we will openly arm ISIS to kill them.
Click to expand...

To answer your question though, the policy of arming and training militants in Afghanistan (to fight Russia) was a horrible one.
 
Gutterpump said:
Al-nusra became Al-qaeda, Al-qaeda does not support ISIS though.
Click to expand...

No, I dont think they necessarily support ISIS either, they certainly hate them.

US will fund both sides, for example we funded both Iran and Iraq back in the early 80's when they were at war with eachother for example.

Wars are good for all those people working in the buildings surrounding the Pentagon who profit billions every year and are only hungry for nothing but their stock markets.
 
The guns are coming from somewhere though. I don't think they came directly from any NATO nation, but they are NATO guns / ammo. The M16 is not produced by any Eastern Block nation. What likely is happening is that ISIS is acquiring them by theft. They've take over so much land/property already, along with everything in it.

Oh yeah, I totally agree.

I think that never ended though, wars between world powers are fought in 3rd world countries these says. I think they think its fun, like video games. Thats why Russia jumped in to bomb Syria and kill ISIS to get back at the US and kill their pawns. Just my own theory though.

I would say that you would be right about that too.

The truth is neither of us knows exactly whats going on. We can only continue to question and speculate.

Now, as for the solutions, I can look at that and see there is no true wanted solution to the problem by nato and washington outside of stripping all of our rights away which means the terrorists won.

I think ISIS is too dangerous and extreme to be used as pawns by anyone though.

They can find uncle Saddam in a stupid rat hole, but they cant destroy ISIS?? lol

Oh no....lets not bomb the trucker bringing ISIS oil to sell to Turkey, he is just doing his job....

Well....what Im stuck in my head is, did they poke a bees nest that they lost control of? Then again, if you look at the solutions it seems there is a lack of interest to truly do anything about it outside of regime change in peaceful countries such as Syria (peaceful before they US and NATO planned the overthrow.)

Yup I agree. I haven't really seen a proper solution to this new mess yet. ISIS is unprecedented in it's size and scope, so this is not going to end anytime soon though.

A fact? Amazing how cons believe things that support racism but nothing else, lol.

Statistics also say white males commit most mass shootings. So, by your logic, every white male you see is a mass murderer. See how stereorypes work?

OK, thebigt, I searched this thread and found where I purportedly called you a racist.

I honestly think that you are more sensitive than I am. And I'm the tree-hugging socialist liberal ;)

So, I apologize for possibly causing you to think that I actually straight up called you a racist, when I actually didn't ;)

I called the idea racist, which IMO is not actually calling YOU a racist.

On the other hand, you flat out called me a racist in the last line of the last quote.

However, I think everyone needs to remember that you can't control how someone else perceives what you say. Careful wiording apparently doesn't necessarily end well, LOL.

Yes, the history of the US supporting folks who eventually become enemies is pretty long.
