Eh... We have been at war the past 8 years PowerStroker... Maybe you can sink your teeth into this one

I hijacked it from a flaming liberal on another forum... I like to run with the Democrats little meltdowns... I must admit PowerStroker, you are taking this MUCH better than some of the Democrats I know!

 Seeing the smiles on these kids faces is awesome. It made me smile too. Are you sure you haven't mistaken this photo for Obama's 1st election win ?...I'd doubt that they're this happy over Mr.Trump...

It would be good to think Mr.Trump could put smiles like that on everyone's face ! Maybe after lining his pockets with more $$$, he'll spare some for us too...

Cheers,

 Their smiles are the expression on Republicans faces. You see, I don't have to be black to know when someone is happy but apparently the mistake came when you assumed the photo had to do with race, rather than an inward reflection of just so happy I am that Obama's claimed victories over the past 8 years will have to float or sink on their own.

LOL,

You are e funny man SELLC !!! ROFLMAO !!! Posting a picture of young happy African boys, that are likely listening to music, & are surprised & happy to have someone interested in even taking a photo of them. Especially when they're likely in the middle of Africa, & like most folks there, couldn't give a fuck about the US-of-A & the elections, since it would be likely that at some point, these fellows will be armed with illegal US-of-A weapons, to fight some war they don't even know the reason of, except that friends & family have been killed.

Why not just post some photos of Republican faces ?...

To clear things up a little, a couple of years ago, there was a family a few houses away that were from Africa, & they had two little boys that had similar smiles on their faces, & the photo reminded me of them, as they were good boys, no different to any other 3 & 5 year olds that were happy.

As for my remark about Mr.Trump & his age, well, he should have IMO been contemplating retirement, & not taking on the Presidency of a world super-power, but I guess he was voted in & won, so that speaks volumes about the choices American citizens had in-front of them, Republican or not.

Once celebrations ease, I'll see if I can't find some You-tube links to some good Documentaries, as asked.

Ciao, & have a great Republican day,

Well he seems to have hit the ground running. Already he has made mortgages more expensive for working class people and removed any reference to climate change from the White House website.

He's definitely your guy, and he's only getting started.

Whoa, hold it right there buddy...

The Federal Reserve (currently a Democrat institution, but will soon change), raised the rates PRIOR to Trump taking office, which in turn increased the costs of ALL credit, including mortgages. I know a thing or two about mortgages now PowerStroke! The FHA was a worthless waste of my time, and come to find out, FHA was really more expensive when you consider the fact they require mortgage insurance premiums. It's not that these mortgages are more expensive per-se... It's just that people are required to put down more money... Two totally different things! It was actually the latest rate hike, under Obama, that raised the actual cost... What you complain about does not raise the cost, just requires more down. I personally think it's a good idea where someone is buying a home at 100% LTV because unless they have equity in their home, it's risky.

Also, climate change is a fallacy... There is nothing that humans can do to stop the world from turning or the tectonic plates underneath us from moving and spreading. Tell us PowerStroker, what could have the Dinosaurs done to prevent Pangea from separating? You are aware earth was but one continent once upon a time!? Failing an answer for that, what could Humans do to stop the inevitable continuation of this phenomena? If you said absolutely nothing, you would be right! If you said, well let's tax people and line our pockets under the false narrative that said funds will somehow stop this phenomena. It's an outright JOKE PowerStroker! The ONLY reason Obama has been pushing this agenda is so that he can still make money after he leaves office, much like how the Clinton Foundation operates, in that everyone just lines their pockets and travels for free. Screw that! 

It's hard to say PowerStroker... Perhaps some more hard facts on the issue would be better for someone trying to allege such a "phenomena".

I can't seem to get my head around it, maybe you have one of them really informative Democrat photos that explains exactly what is being tested, when and for how long.

It's like one of them things where they say eating red meat or processed food will kill me... So am I to expect that if I stop eating meat and processed foods that I will not ever die? lol, the fact is, we still don't have all the facts. I'm not opposed to entertaining a theory, as long as the person pitching it can pony up hard proof.

Hole In the Earth's Ozone Layer Is Finally Closing Up, NASA Says

By Sean Breslin

It's been about 30 years since scientists discovered the massive hole above Antarctica  a hole that was created by releasing chlorofluorocarbons into the air, National Geographic reported. Since the alarming find, there has been an international movement to reduce the size of that hole, including a ban on CFCs.

(MORE: Sea Rise Is Slowly Swallowing America's Oldest City)

According to the new report, the ozone hole has been at least 8 million square miles in size every year since 1990, but if estimates are correct, the hole should shrink and remain consistently smaller by the 2040s. By 2100, the hole could be completely gone, the study added.

"With this new information, we can look into the future and say with confidence that ozone holes will be consistently smaller than 8 million square miles by 2040," Susan Strahan, a senior research scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a video about the study. "And that will really be a milestone that we're finally past the era of big ozone holes."

The successful movement to restore the ozone layer has drawn parallels to another recent environmental struggle  climate change. But according to some scientists, the restoration of ozone over Antarctica might have negative effects on global warming.

"Ozone itself is a greenhouse gas. A thinner ozone layer not only reduced heat trapped over the region, it helped stir circumpolar winds, which in turn created sea spray that formed reflective, cooling clouds," said the National Geographic report.

 Darn it....

They've printed this way-too-early ..... Now Mr.Trump & his ignorance to pollution & the earths needs will have an excuse to pour all those chloroflourocarbons back into the atmosphere again, among other things...

They should never have printed this !

PowerStroker has hit the nail right on the head here...

Let's all hope that Mr.Trumps, & every future Presidents ego is capable of heeding those words, & reckon to them, so that they can lead the world into an on-going prosperous future for everyone.

 Lets hope that both you dreamers will wake up before reality sets in... Our species has had to evolve over millions of years, but not in some liberal safety bubble!

Trump's ego needs to stay in tact! He runs the most powerful nation in the world, despite the efforts Obama made in trying to pass such a title to Russia... The bottom line here folks, is that the Russians wanted Hillary, not Trump! Wake up! It backfired on them and you! 

Trump has every right to have an ego and no man in the history of this planet has ever lead the world into an on-going prosperous future for everyone without conflict. I can see Trump has his work cut out for him.

We didn't need such a bubble before. Now our species has the ability to both destroy and save our planet, this is a new reality that we need all political parties to realize.

Our Intelligence agencies would disagree, even the FBI which has a recent history of failing to be non partisan in Trump's favor.

The last thing we need is a testosterone and bravado driven right wing foreign policy. Hitler had such a thing going on, Ironically the current leadership of Israel does too now. It's one thing to learn lessons the hard way, but if you do something the hard way and fail to learn the lesson - that's not ok.

Trump has every right to have an ego and no man in the history of this planet has ever lead the world into an on-going prosperous future for everyone without conflict. I can see Trump has his work cut out for him.

He may continue to have an ego, that has never been a problem for him. I just hope it doesn't become a problem for the whole planet now, instead of just his employees, contractors, and women.
