Random Politics & Religion #13

That's a good question that only time will answer. I'd lean towards probably. China has always looked out for number one, historically.

Gracias, señor. I had a friend that could turn anything into a full conversation, no matter how insignificant. Did she have a bologna sandwich for lunch? Prepare for a 30 minute story about it.

Meanwhile, I can go on vacation for a week to a place I've never been and maybe get 3-5 minutes of conversation describing the experience. Maayyyyyyyybe I could stretch out an explanation of my username, but I'd have to try.

Hi

Well, I guess I came up with the name about 20 years ago, so that could open up a can of worms there....

HERE GOES.

Way back when I was just a little bitty boy living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement of the house half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait shop - You know the place - Well, anyway, back then life was going swell and everything was just peachy! Except, of course, for the undeniable fact that every single morning my mother would make me a big ol' bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast.... Awww, big bowl of sauerkraut! Every single mornin'! It was driving me crazy! I said to my mom, I said, "Hey, mom, what's up with all the sauerkraut?" And my dear, sweet mother, she just looked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train. And she leaned right down next to me and she said, "It's good for you!" And then she tied me to the wall and stuck a funnel in my mouth and force fed me nothing but sauerkraut until I was twenty six and a half years old. That's when I swore that someday, someday I would get outta that basement and travel to a magical, far away place where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer and the towels are oh so fluffy! Where the shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long and anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for a nickel. Wacka wacka doodoo yeah!

Well, let me tell you, people, it wasn't long at all before my dream came true because the very next day, a local radio station had this contest to see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's butt. I was off by three, but I still won the grand prize! That's right, a first class one-way ticket to Albuquerque!

Wait, what were we talking about again?

Yeah, let's not go there.

Never mind, we just went there.

Tell that to Mitch McConnell and John McCain.

Get ready for 4 more years of an 8 member supreme court.

Possibly a 5 member court if the 3 soon to be 80+yr old justices pass on during her tenure. McCain pledged yesterday that he would block any of Clinton's nominees if elected president.

I really dont think so in regards to Bush. The Iraq War was so poorly handled from the top and the tax cuts destroyed the economy. Its as if he won the support of Congress and was like ok, take over Cheney & co. Go get Saddam, Bin Laden if you can, but focus on Saddam. Actually, forget about Bin Laden, go get Saddam, I want his gun.

Well he also said he would examine each candidate with scrutiny but given what he knows about Clinton, it will most likely get blocked.

And Trump gets booed at the Al Smith dinner to cap off a really bad day.

Obviously the food was rigged

I think everyone here will have to admit that they will not block the Supreme Court justice. At the very least, they will pick the least liberal justice out of the bunch nominated by Clinton.

So rigged that it required several recounts, with a certain party trying to dismiss votes due to hanging chads, until the Supreme Court decides to put an end to that nonsense. But don't worry, you can still say the soup was rigged for 16 years later.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy belated 20th Anniversary of Bill Clinton's Defense of Marriage Act which defined marriage as only between one man and one woman.

The irony is not lost.

If you honestly think that's even an argument anymore, then you are as crazy as Lordgrim.

Women's rights, Men's rights, African American rights, Caucasian rights, Gay rights, Straight rights, none of that was on the ballot this election cycle.

Unless you believe in the boogyman of the NYT, WP, and CNN that is. But you yourself said that you don't listen to biased articles. So, here's your chance to prove it.

Trump, with all of his faults, was never campaigning against women, minorities (except for those who break the law, but even then, we disagree on the extent of such actions), or DOMA. Actually, Trump was more for gay marriages than Clinton and her "public opinion/private opinion" stances ever were.

Unless the media hates you and wants you to fail at getting the job, then they will pull out every dirty trick in the book to prevent you from getting that job.

I do believe that's apparent, and anyone who says otherwise is either a partisan hack and/or somebody who's head is stuck in somebody's (most likely their own) *** that they can't even tell reality from fiction.

She fought her whole career in the Senate to uphold it, Son.

The antigay record of both Clinton's is very relevant, Son.

And here's why the Republican party won't learn ***from Trump's landfill fire of a candidacy. It wad all the media's fault, sure. Not that Trump never had any business running in the first place.
