OFF-TOPIC Thread

Tell the whole truth, "supporters" are going to jail too. Don't make it sound one-sided, because it isn't. Peaceful protesters are having signs ripped from their hands, torn up, and thrown in their face. The muslim woman removed from an early rally never uttered a word but was heckled and ridiculed as she was escorted from the premises.

 

Oompa Loompas are those things from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

 

Could never bring myself to watch that. Don't really have a reason.

 

Not that bad, bro. They be maximiumus pikeysapiens.

 

Have faith...within your time, a good person will rise to the top. It can't always be a cluster fuck like this.
Can it?

 

free speech is not about who shouts the loudest
why are they walking in to his rally flipping people off and screaming in faces?
people are upset on both sides and throwing fuel on it is only galvanizing the hatred which is on both sides
wanting a border is not racist
a pause on immigration from countries that tend to hate us is not racist
not seeing much of that at Hillary and Berns gigs so my take is its pretty much a liberal issue
there can be no peace for anyone until people calm the fuck down
and again my position continues to be that Bush was so bad we got BO and BO was so bad it might end up being Trump
its everyones fault and its a fucking mess

 

Since when does getting flipped off illicit physical altercations. Sure I wish those pricks who use derisive gestures wouldn't do it but whatever happened to sticks and stones? In it off itself wanting the illegal aliens to come here is not racist BUT saying they are rapists and criminals is racist. We can definitely agree it's everyone's fault but at least the candidates other than Trump offer solutions. I haven't heard 1 single solution from that guy, it's fricking mind boggling.

Breaking news the Russians are leaving Syria, thoughts?

 

Free speech is certainly a thorny issue. If anyone's interested, I can post my notes from bar studying on it to try to break down the current state of the law.

If not, then keep in mind: only a quarter of registered voters are Republicans, and Trump has only received 34% of the overall vote in Republican primaries/caucuses so far. Yes, some of them have been open primaries, but here is a rough calculation: only ~8.5% of the voting population actually supports Trump right now. Only 49% of Republicans would be happy with him as the nominee (keep in mind Cruz and Rubio are only marginally higher at 51 and 52%, respectively, I believe), and he has the lowest favorability ratings (by a large margin) of any current or prior Republican nominees in the contest. He's loud, his supporters are loud, but that doesn't mean a lot of the country actually backs him. I don't think he has any shot at winning the general election if he won the nomination and the betting markets more or less support that (although they give the Democrats a roughly 70% chance of winning, so that would be true with any Republican candidate at this point).

 

Politco actually counted all the lies the Donald told last week. It came out to a lie every 5 minutes on average!!! LOL. I knew it was pretty bad but every 5 minutes on average is scary.

well we aren't even having a border discussion if Trump doesn't bring it up
as far as the other guys offering solutions all i hear is the same ole same ole from the political pigs on both sides of the aisle defending their feeding trough
seriously the GOP is mimicking the Dem talking points atm doesn't that explain how clearly both sides are the same?
the GOP has even stated they do not want senators backing Trump and to prepare for a Hillary presidency...ugh WTF???
not getting your Syria reference

 

yeah that Hillary is a real straight shooter
wonder why politico doesn't do a tracker on her...

 

Why are they walking in and screaming and flipping people off? Because they are paid to do so. You know it.
And with Trump's jerkoff egomaniacal answers totally lacking of any fault or contrition...they are playing him like a fiddle. Perfect set up for the media to torpedo him...clever actually. Trump can't admit any fault...he is incapable.
Unless of course you are right, and he is a Pillory confederate. He just seems like a "suicide" candidate now...
With his incredulous responses, he is either totally crazy or has no respect for the intelligence of Americans.
The latter maybe completely justified, I think.

 

Geez man, I get it Hillary sucks too but the sheer volume of lies that Trump says and gets away with can circle the globe at least twice. Besides Hillary flip flops not so much lies. The Donald's forte is lying!

 

so its clearly not going to be the best man/woman winning
like i said we have ourselves to blame for letting it get to this
Trump is an asshole but he is not a part of the exclusive and lucrative club of political elites
like they say the enemy of my enemies is my friend and i straight up loathe the political class
this is a focused attack from all sides on him atm and he is being dissected for every gaff but he's not backing down
some of it is outrageous and he deserves the criticism he gets but at 20 trillion in debt I'm pretty sure none of the Washington clowns are at the wheel
he makes me cringe and id probably prefer Kasich
but here we are

 

Interesting post...all is not what seems then, obviously. Just one of those anomalies with him leading, which should take a hit very soon.
President Pantsuit for at least 4 years?! Holy shit...I really regret giving up my British citizenship. Fuck. I won't be able to take that fucking voice....every....fucking...day... No...no-o-o-o....no-o-o...God hates us I guess.
These figures are like sabrematics...you think leading in delegates and state wins would be solid, but like the old/new RBI argument, mean shit really.
Are we like the Roman Empire? Is this the fall?

 

I like Kasich but is he going to be able to distance himself from Trump enough.

 

I think when Hillary gets the nomination, what happened in Bengazi, and what was told to the poor families of the murdered, will be front and center. In our faces.
And we will all hang our heads, for one reason or another.
