    ..and fewer actually reach the end. One of the most boring books I've seen.

      Chili’s under fire after manager takes free meal from vet on Veterans Day[^] What a jerk.

      What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

          Agreed, but it was a strong policy statement of the future if Hitler got into power. - removal of the Jews from Europe - the subjugation of Slavs and other Untermenschen - the right of the Aryan race to take lands away from the Untermenschen for Lebensraum. - revolution after power - rebuild Germany's military Certainly nobody in Germany should have been too surprised about how things turned out. It almost became required reading after 1933, and was given as a wedding present to all newly weds, but, by then of course, it was too late.

              More countries are proud of their military, and pledge each election to "spend more" to preserve their status.

              Wouldn't know, I wasn't around. The book was forbidden here, but it would make a good example for literature-classes on how NOT to write.

                Maybe. I am an American and I don't think it will affect me all that much. People read way too much into the campaign rhetoric. 90% of the stuff he said he would do as President, he can't do. The government has checks and balances for a reason. He can't do anything with taxes, he can't wake up one day and decide to launch nuclear missiles, he can't deport all of the people here illegally. It's just fear mongering to think he can and will do any of the stuff the media said he would do. He will find out once he is office that he can't actually do all that much just like Obama couldn't close Gitmo or implement universal healthcare or any of that other stuff he promised to do.

                  We can all rest easy on the fact that the U.S. Constitution prevents Trump, or any branch of government, from accumulating the level of power and authority that Hitler did. Unless they find a way to throw out the Constitution, we don't have to worry about the U.S. turning into a fascist state like Nazi Germany. Now, have we set the country back about 50 years? That is the question.

                      Umm, technically, he can. As Commander and Chief of the military, he has control of the nukes and can, without the approval of Congress, engage in a military conflict for up to 38 days.

                            The problem is... even if it is not completely implemented some things will do cause the same effect than throwing a stone into a peaceful water. The waves are the ones that can have dumb effects. As much as I don't like it, (but I do realize about it), America and what happens in America has consequences in many other places over the world.

                              Yes, deporting 11 million illegals is logistically impossible to accomplish in one presidential term. Can he do mass deportations? Yes. Is it likely? No.

                              The way you can do this is to surround yourself with people that will not stand up and say no, to intentionally feed military intelligence miss-information, or get lost in group-think like the kind that lead to the 2003 Iraq invasion.

                                  Chili’s under fire after manager takes free meal from vet on Veterans Day[^] What a jerk.

                                  What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                                  Why is everyone angry against Chilis? Chilis did not do anything wrong. They gave out hundreds of thousands of free meals. Why boycott them? Morons!

                                    Neither Trump nor Clinton are people I would want as neighbours (or as President), but neither of them is in the least comparable to Hitler. I suggest that you brush up on your history, my friend.

                                      This is on par with the people complaining about the president elect when he has not done anything yet. One guy in bad uniform (why) and one miss guided manager end up being a headline. The manager should just have let it go. One meal is not going to break them for all they gave away, but being wrong will.

                                        Ya. Taking the food away was just stupid. They probably would have thrown it away so why not just let it go and let him have it. :doh:

                                          Links, or it didn't happen. The MSM would be covering this 24x7, if true.

                                          They are? Again, I would expect the MSM to be covering this 24x7. A quick check on NBC news shows nothing!

                                          Yes, he has spoken about deporting illegal immigrants. Are you claiming that enforcing the laws that have been on the books for over 90 years is suddenly "racist, xenophobic, etc."?
