US Politics

2Pac was right when he said the Republicans and Democrats are like gangs. The dirty tactics used by both parties make the mafia at times look like child's play.

I'm no Republican nor a Trump supporter, but what's funny about a veteran losing his eye from a bomb? Okay so the eyepatch look isn't prolly gonna catch on, but it stops being funny the second you realize how the guy lost his eye. I mean, are there no boundaries in decency? This is something distasteful that idiot Trump would joke about.

I think he's referring to supporters of the guy who did this, taking offence at mocking the military.
 
Think I’m going to book in a day off tomorrow. Going to be a long night :drool:

You could take my posts in the election thread as an illustration of self-inflicted suffering. From hope that he would finally get shut up along with the various horrible right-wingers who'd rowed in behind him, to concern, to ever more desperate hope that Florida would cop the feck on, to gradually growing drunken stupor at how inevitability was growing... to waking up the next morning hungover to the final result.

Honestly, I know it probably sounds a bit sheltered, but it was probably one of the worst nights of my life knowing what the orange eejit could inflict on the world and the message him winning sent out. He hasn't disappointed so far.

That Twitter guy called Bill something who kept on insisting all polls are fake and Michael Cohen with 'What polls' interview were played on repeat as if they were going to get their comeuppance on election day. Nightmare night. My wife made goat curry with rice the next day to give me a boost.
 


I got many things to say about this:

This guy is one of the fathers of a girl who was murdered at Parkland, and judging by his tweets, he's quite obviously a Republican. No idea since the Republicans are the ones who wont budge on laws which allow gun control.

Talking about the substance of the post, the Republicans always like to portray themselves as constitutionalists. It's no wonder he is allowed to vote, he hasn't yet been convicted, and therefore not a felon (he's awaiting trial). Imagine the slippery slope not letting him vote would lead to.

He's also blaming the Democrats for letting him vote. Some would say that they do these things so they can garner more votes (as people conjecture with illegal immigrants), except that theory falls part as the shooter is a registered Republican.

Yes, he's not convicted, he gets to vote.
It's amazing that Pollack thinks letting Republicans vote is a Democrat ploy.
 
Someone needs to tell him that people that are in jail awaiting trial are allowed to vote. This happens in all counties, so its pathetic he's targeting Broward county and trying to make out they are the only county who does this.
 
FFS, that asshat skewers the Dems and yet the fecking caption has the shooter's party affiliation listed. And failing to mention (obviously) that's it's a Florida law and the shooter has not yet been convicted.
 
Noted white supremacist Steve King lies about calling immigrants ‘dirt,’ but it was recorded

The Weekly Standard reported on Tuesday that King, while talking to a dozen supporters about a recent pheasant hunt, veered into racist innuendo Monday regarding “dirt from Mexico.”

King: “I made a big ol’ batch of my patented pheasant noodle soup for everybody. It took us two days to eat it all, but everybody loved it. When I get it all put together then I put about a half a dozen jalapeno peppers, just whole, drop them floating around in there. It scares off some of the people so there’s a little more for the rest of us to eat. I raised a bunch this year, and they don’t have enough bite. I guess I’m going to have to go and get some dirt from Mexico to grow the next batch.”

[Laughs]

Audience member: “Trust me, it’s already on its way.”

King: “Well, yeah, there’s plenty of dirt, it’s coming from the West Coast, too. And a lot of other places, besides. This is the most dirt we’ve ever seen.”

Adam Rubenstein noted that “Iowa does have a topsoil depletion problem, but it’s hard to imagine that the audience and King were discussing the shipment of soil from out of country or from California.”

Axelrod has teamed up with Karl Rove to teach a Harvard course on winning elections.


Susan Rice and Robert Gates are the only non-objectionable ones on that list; I'm assuming Netflix and Starbucks' don't lobby for *that* much.

Starbucks are quite sketchy tax-wise, are they not?
