Random Politics & Religion #08

Ha! That wouldn't be a bad one if she wouldn't have died half-a-decade or so ago. I wouldn't mind G-Dub at this point.

I certainly am.

Donald Trump is rat poison. He's not qualified for the post, is a hate filled maniac who worships dictators and won't do the job if elected to POTUS. That he hasn't changed his stance or attempted to take serious the position lifts the veil on what his administration would look like - other people doing all the work as he fakes it across the globe. I imagine many Republican pols are hoping to puppet him ASAP so long as he gets to pretend to be top banana.

The last thing I want is Trump anywhere near the Supreme Court.

And then we have Clinton, the textbook definition of status quo and realpolitik. She'd hawk harder than Obama, walk back most of the progressive material she's been forced to adopt, lies constantly and I don't give a *** about the emails because she's sketchy just based on her past She's not worthy of trust, but I cannot deny she could do the job. Trump cannot.

So here I am trying to sell myself on Clinton because the DNC sabotaged Sanders and Trump is such ebola that I'd vote just to keep that guy out.

I'll admit, given that hindsight is 20/20, she is still a better governor than Bush and Perry....

Abbot? Don't know yet. He can still do good, but he can also still *** it all up.

Spoken like a true liberal hack.

Can you get past Chris Mathews's rhetoric for one day?

The only thing Hillary will do at the convention is this: racist sexist homophobic. It's like she reads the FFXIAH talking points.

Zombie President.

More brains for everyone!

At least the intellectual level of the country would go up(until they get eaten).

Are you being serious right now?

Trump supporters are scared out of their minds. That's how he's getting the support he's getting. He's tapping that fear.

And Sparth covered Clinton's side of the equation pretty well.

The amount of white guilt on display at the DNC will be so high. White liberals in the crowd will drink till they forget they are white.

Absolutely!

Funnily enough, Ramy and I talked about this over a month ago. When we got back from Port A my husband had a meeting with one of his vendors' owners who lives in Highland Park said that, despite being a life-long Dem, he loves Laura and George one-on-one. He also noted that they are both genuinely kind and amiable people departed from politics.

Add that to the random acts of kindness across the state and being a benefactor of small art galleries.

How is that so? I am a Trump supporter and I am not scared. Beyond what some of you think there are people like me who like his policies.

You support Trump how dare you share a different viewpoint !

Of course you're scared. You won't phrase it as such because testosterone, but you're scared shitless. We all are.

I don't know of what, I don't know you personally. But that's what politics has become. "I'm afraid of (this) happening, so I'd better support this person!"

What do you fear? Not being able to feed your family? Being treated the way a minority gets treated now? Bear attacks? Celebrity Apprentice being played out with White House interns?

Frankly all of these things worry me at least a little, now that I think about it. The bears being the least troublesome.

The point is, that's how politics works. Making you scared for yourself or your family or or standard of life, and getting you to support the person who will let you keep that or move up in the world.

Knowing the effect of alcohol on the average white girl (apologies to any outliers), it won't take long.

White Girl Wasted comes quick.

KN, do you ever reflect on what could have happened if Kay Bailey would have beat Perry for the R-card in 2006ish?

There's white, then there's


That amount of white makes me feel uncomfortable, and I used to enjoy cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise.

I see it more as anger than fear. But I can see your point of view.

Actually, he parroted most of the liberal's arguments against Trump.

That's like me saying that Obama is a Muslim or Clinton let 4 people die on 9/11/12.

Anything other than namecalling for you?

Ahem.

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate... leads to suffering...

Have we learned nothing from that three part documentary about wars in the stars?

It would be hard to say, to be honest.

Talking in backwards, fun it is.

What are his policies that you like?

And Star Wars leads to pointless remakes by Disney.

Can you not parrot commentary at least? Show some thought into your ramblings please.

Bringing this over from the Israel Thread, so jimmies won't be rustled:


Question for the class: If given power, would you abuse it, or will you just warp your personality around it?

And ask yourself this question: Why do I automatically assume that you won't bend your will against said power and not change against it, making it yours and doing what you think is right with it?

Way to perseverate.

Literally any group of people can look like a "Klan meeting minus the robes."

Now stop validating the handful of holdout blatant racists in the country by talking about them more than they deserve.

I think some people merely respond to their fear through an external show of rage, much like a cornered animal.

I'm thinking about getting a white pizza for dinner is that racist ?
