He was too lazy to vote this year so there's no need to worry. If only running his fuckin' mouth all day about trump's greatness was as much a hassle for him as voting

No, we should be wiping boogers in all of the glasses.
They're either the literal resurrection of Hitler or not. Make a choice. I heard this was all about racism.

Care to find some examples of it being used in a positive light?
Even if it's the literal resurrection of Hitler, we need to make sure Hitler doesn't accidentally sneeze and set off all the nukes.
What's the reason to donate to WaPo, is Bezos running out of cash soon?
I like this almost as much as 'nuclear codes' like in Dr Strangelove and War Games. Trumpo is gonna nuke Vermont for some off-tasting maple syrup thanks to a special decoder ring.

He didn't say donate to them, only get subscription to places like them or your local newspaper if you want to support the press. It's crazy that almost all the topics that have been presented on LWT are going to become even more prominent now.
I imagine he means subscribe, besides if Trump does try to change the libel laws like he's said he wants to then they'll need all the money they can get to fight it off.
I mean if he wanted to Vermont's only hope would be someone talking him out of it. Trump's dumb and easily manipulated, we should be trying to take advantage of this if we can. You know the GOP leaders will be doing the same.
If you have a .gov, .edu, or .mil email, WaPo is free- http://help.washingtonpost.com/link...o-I-activate-my-gov-mil-edu-free-subscription
It's true. Matt from Chapo Trap House has proposed we present Trump with a single-payer healthcare plan and call it TrumpCare.
I don't see what's so hard about this. I can oppose his entire platform and still believe in an orderly transition of power.
I haven't YET seen anything that necesitates insurrection. But I am sure as shit watching.

There's nothing positive to say about the ideology. And the authors of the paper aren't radical left wingers who've taught at Yale and Duke. Plenty of folks with advanced degrees across the political spectrum plus can do math use the term. One is an economist at the University of Notre Dame.
Law and Neoliberalism said:
Like I said the study from the economist at LSE was cute though.
Look, I'm not saying Obama should do anything different, but we as a people should get over this "when they go low, we go high" thing. That just opens you up for the nut shot.
I was talking to Cybit about this the other night and we came up with Trump Medicine. This is why I'm not bothered at all with Obama and Schumer being cordial with him, someone needs to try and see if we can manipulate him into doing the right thing. We need to do it because you know the GOP will be doing the same. Let Warren, Franken, and others attack him relentlessly on his bullshit while the party leaders try to play him.

Mexico was also not that important, but it's grown so huge since 2 or 3 years ago. Peso second most traded currency and the third most traded country with the US only after China and Canada (who is in NAFTA)
Mexico's 18 election is such a toss up. There are many roads that I can see, so many actors.
We've got:
-- PRI is going with Osorio Chong the most presidential one
-- PAN was going with Margarita Zavala, but she just lost appeal after Hillary's loss and her relationship with the motherfucker shit-lord Sonora state ex-governor Padrés. Ricardo Anaya, sitting president of PAN, has recently been ousted as a magnate who didn't declare his multiple assets outside Mexico when PRI took a closer look at his 3 out of 3 declaration that he himself promoted (IDIOT!), so he is out.
-- AMLO is not that popular anymore, but is as anti-establishment as you get. I just don't know if by 2018, anti-establishment elections will have fallen due to their idiotic weight.
-- Bronco as an Independent, who is also anti-establishment but has not really excelled in his governance of Nuevo Leon state.
If the opposition gets its shit together, they will beat PRI easily. If they get funny and do not form alliances, we are getting 6 more PRI years coming to us. With the world economy boom putting excruciating pressure on the Mexican Peso, I don't see how 6 more years of PRI debt-increase will lead to anything good.
Mexico's politics are so weird.
PRI is the most centrist party, with an authoritarian corrupt story. Sometimes they support things like pro-choice and pro-LGBT rights, but other times they don't. Almost all of their Governors are pieces of shit.
PAN is fiscal conservative, but flirts too much with religious bullshit. Their governors are usually a little bit better than PRI, but they have shit-stains also.
PRD is the left progressive party, but it is filled with infighting, crazy publicity antics and supports some hardcore violent activists. They also have almost no representation in the richest parts of the country such as Nuevo Leon, Sonora or Baja California.
Then you get all the other little motherfuckers
PVEM (Green Party) - PRI's bitch, full of idiot playboys who give ZERO fucks about the environment
MORENA - AMLO's personal party. Also know as Morenazis due to their own zealotry when supporting AMLO. Have made inroads into congress.
MOVIMIENTO CIUDANO - Ex-PRD members that are far-left and align themselves to PRD or Morena according to who is doing better at the time.
NUEVA ALIANZA - The teachers union (largets union in latin america) party. Personal party of ex-union leader (and also corrupt shit-stain) Elba Esther Gordillo (AKA Chucky) now lead by famous playboy idiot Jorge Kahwagi (also of Big Brother participation fame). The growth of this party has been slow, getting less and less votes each year.
PES - Christian Evangelical zealots with no other platform than to fuck up gays and women's rights. This piece of shit party was created in my home state, which brings shame to myself every fucking second these idiots try to take rights away.
So US, do you want to have more representation in your political system?
This what representative government gets you, a list of political mercenary clowns that align themselves to the better payer as long as they keep their party registration open, in order to get more of that sweet-ass congress money.
Fuck I just got angry
That's the spirit. And say he actually starts doing shit like helping America, it has to be made clear that he's doing so on his own and outside of the typical GOP establishment. I'm banking on any of this happening as much I expect to marry a supermodel. But hey, you never know. My skin's pretty good for my age.
the recurring title for poligaf needs to be THIS IS NOT NORMAL

This probably will not register on Trump's shitty advisors/appointees list but worth mentioning, Trump's Middle East advisor is pretty much a warcriminal who took part in the Sabra/Shatilla Massacre in Lebanon during the early 80s.
From March 2016
Middle east is going to get whole lot sectarian and messy.

After reading the OT thread on Trump's comments on gay marriage on 60 Minutes and seeing some people fall over themselves to talk about how it shows he's moderate and that LGBTQ people won't be really threatened, it's easy to see why people bought into his campaign even in the face of facts and contradictory statements.
yep. the media is gonna have to work overtime. I hope the Times and Post get more subscriptions because we need them more than ever.
I've been saying this on facebook since election night. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Donald Trump is empowering the worst people. Not just typical republicans but horrible human beings with horrible views and very questionable ability to govern competently.
None of what I said is an excuse for Dems to stop hitting him for his racist demagoguery though. The firebrands should be spitting hot fire all over his face day in and day out. Just because Obama needs to be cordial doesn't mean the rest of the party needs to be. The fact none of this is normal needs to be driven home day in and day out.
Congrats but yeah 2016 is a huge fucking mess.
Everybody already gets that he's a racist and that racists love him. The message has been received loud and clear. It has made racists feel very emboldened about his win now. This has been a very good, tactful strategy which has lost us minority votes since 2012. Yay us.
That's not the point. Have you not seen the reports about all the horrible shit people have been doing in the wake of Trump's win, he's emboldened people to act that way. It needs to be driven home that it is not ok.
Read my post again. This was a shit tactic by the Dems, just like many other shit tactics they've had this season.
The Dems emboldened the racists. They could have cooled it off with the "white working class = racists" narrative, but that's their go to. Blaming the loss on racism covers their asses.

that is much unlike me, where a third of my tweets have to do with crying, another third are about the health insurance panic i now find myself in, and a final third are "how the fuck do I get out of this country with a kidney condition"

Please reflect on your diet-racism. It's really getting annoying.
You have been subtling suggesting that dems abandon minorities for days now.
And since I am one, it's REALLY starting to piss me off.

None of this addresses what I said.
You have no answers to what I'm saying.
How did he win open primaries when he lost 71% of them?
You didn't answer my identity politics question regarding Harris/Kander either.
Don't call me a racist. You don't know me. I'm an adult telling you how the world works, and if it doesn't match with what you thought, then I can't help that.
The Democratic Party has been enabling racist policies. I wish to change that.

I know you well enough from your posts.
Bernie Bros like yourself only seem to be ok with appealing to minorities if it's not too much of a bother, or too expensive politically.
You place the blame on Dems losing in part on Dems appealing to those groups, and i've had enough.
OMFG. I don't know who Harris and Kander are. All I know is they aren't white and old, because that was the part of the comment I was responding to in that post way back when.
If you're so deadset on Bernie losing against Trump, then that's your problem. You really hate the guy, I get it. You've got a lot invested in that narrative and I feel bad for you, because it turns out it's wrong. I'm going by the exit polling from the general election that says Bernie would've won.
You know that saying about what happens when you assume things?
People who didn't vote Clinton and expected everyone else to beat Trump for them should not get a seat at the table. They showed they cannot be trusted.
