Also it's totally not a Nazi/fascist style campaign if your platform is based entirely around vehement anti-leftism, the erosion of conservative religious values, culture wars, racism, nationalism, adulation of a strong speaking authority figure that promises to take the country back to it's glory days, and funding it all through a corrupt symbiotic relationship with monopolistic businesses and the entrenched religion of the country.....As long as you leave out the Jew stuff.

This is really just a cheap way to mention there is a new Hardcore History addendum where Dan Carlin and Danielle Bolelli go really hard into the trend of mostly right-wingers trying to redefine and contort Nazism into a "well, you know, ACTUALLY" leftist ideology.... and it's..solid

If so I think it might have happened somewhere in between Shosta's endearing reverse Cecil to Paladin conversation ala FFIV and seeing the refs at the Saints game rip my heart out from eye shot distance.

Or I haven't really changed(I don't think?) and it's probably just me posting haphazardly and intermittently due to varied levels of work stress, during varied levels of sobriety.

BTW, it's very cool that the party that went on and on about my caravan and thereby became a variable in the Tree of Life shooting has the temerity to talk about anti-Semitism. Love that a person who quoted a banal mainstream song lyric got turned into Hermann Goedsche while that's all just been forgotten.

I've already said it in the other thread, but I think there needs to be an upper age limit. At 80 it's simply not possible to have the mental agility necessary to lead a country. (Of course an 80-year-old Sanders would still be better than Trump at any age.)

How about finding someone to run who is intelligent, not geriatric and not a billionaire?

“My dear departed grandmothers (whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”

Harris also told "The Breakfast Club" that she used to get high in college listening to "Snoop Dogg" and "Tupac Shakur" - whose albums came out after she graduated.

1 Million Bernie Bro's? LMAO.


Sanders: "You are RACIST and a XENOPHOBE and Putin is not a GREAT GUY"

TRUMP: "EXCUSE ME, I TOLD EVERYONE. THE RADICAL LEFT PELOSI IS GOING TO RADICAL AND THEN CAPITALISM AND FREEDOM WILL DIE. SOVIET UNION ENDED WITH THE GREAT REAGAN REMEMBER HIM? HE WAS NOT AS GOOD AS ME BUT STILL PRETTY CLOSE BUT EVEN SO MY WALL IS PRETTY GREAT AND REAGAN DIDN'T LIKE WALL PRETTY WEIRD FOR A REPUBLICAN RIGHT? AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A SOCIALIST STATE"

*USA chant*

MSNBC Election Night: "What started out as a hopeful political movement after the 2018 midterms turned into the darkest election season in American history as we await the final results of the vote. Will America survive another four years of President Trump
or will we officially become a socialist state when Bernie Sanders wins? The stakes this election night could not be higher as US troops have just landed on the shores of Cuba to overthrow the socialist state."

Sherrod would be good. Most of the benefits with none of the downside. This invariably means he will be ignored though.

Imo, Kamala basically has it in the bag though because of the primary schedule. Winning CA early Will make her look like she has a huge lead.

Hillary permanently broke wine moms’ brains so get prepared to hear middle aged women talk about the beauty of redbones or some type shit while supporting Kamala.

My Clinton support was never about Hillary herself. My first choice before the primaries began was Biden. I just want to see the Republican Party reduced to rubble. It is a little personal with Sanders though.

Politics is a bucket, not a church. I hear you. I was fishing for the opportunity to post a fresh take on a classic meme, tbh.

No way Trump colluded with the Russians while the FBI and foreign intelligence agencies were actually monitoring parts of his campaign staff.
I think this entire thing could've been avoided if Manafort and all told the truth right from the start but they had so many skeletons to hide in their closet not related to the Trump campaign that it blew up in their face.

After all no one who ran the campaign thought Trump would in. It was just a way for the broke has beens to loot as much of the sweet campaign money as possible and sell books.

President Trump has grown increasingly disenchanted with Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats, who has served as the nation’s top intelligence official for nearly two years, leading some administration officials to worry he will soon be dismissed, according to people familiar with the matter.

I think reality makes me question the common sense idea of whether or not a government can borrow indefinitely.

Because none of the stable governments that control their own currency has seemed to find a limit.
