I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
But that is even more scary, because this tippy-top represents the tippy-top(his word) of gop tippy-top policy speech writing in tippy-top 2016.

Fixed it for ya,
Gotta make sure you use it 4 times.

i agree, this is scary that an entire political party has been taken over by crazy (that they helped to breed). I mean, this is like the ramblings of Alex Jones or overnight AM talk show radio garbage...

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The party flip when it comes to feelings about Russia this election is absolutely crazy to me.

Actually, since we are tangentially on the topic, I have a dumb question about the "Q" in LGBTQ. What does the term "queer" encompass in this context? Other sexual or gender orientations e.g. asexuality or intersex?

Sorry for the ignorance.

I can pontentially answer this, because for a while, my spouse considered himself genderqueer. As in, my spouse was AFAB, but had some difficulty settling on gender for awhile: sometimes he felt feminine, but most of the times felt masculine. He gradually moved to transgenderqueer to fully trans.

"Queer" is somewhat of a spectrum, but(and this this might be too much of a generalization or stretch) it seems to be that "queer" in the above context(and in the context of LBGTQ) can be interpreted as "non-cis not otherwise specified."
 
I don't like this speech.

Stamping out ideology.
Working with Russia.
Nations that do not agree with this aren't allies.

This coupled with his questionable NATO comments.

I don't like this where this is going at all.
 
The way he said "women, gays, and people" was gross sounding.

EDIT: also: no nation building, except for all this shit. Also, we should've occupied Iraq and stolen their natural resources.

1977, Islamic terrorists seized 3 federal buildings in DC.

1983 Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam secretary killed by members of Fuqra, a black Islamic sect; 2 members killed setting fire in AMI temple

1993 Mir Amail Kansi, an Afghan Islamist, shot several CIA employees in cars in front of CIA headquarters

1997 lone Palestinian gunman fired on tourists on observation deck of Empire State Building; Danish national was killed and other tourists injured before gunman killed himself

Certainly Islamic terrorism is more common now so the point is reasonable.
 

There's a break coming with conservatism.

There are people committed to conservatism as an ideology and those as a tool for white supremacy. Trumps got the later but its pretty small relatively (probably like 30% of the country).

The former glued the two together but never bought into it. They were always culturally more cosmopolitan and comfortable with a changing country as their political beliefs were ideological (thus it didn't matter the culture or ethnic background of the country). The others fear this cultural change more than care about their political ideology (often times they were far more socialistic, but only for their kind).

Now with Trump fulling ripping the two apart you're going to see more of these types as expressing things they never could without pissing off the resenters
 
Just how extreme are we talking about here? Are we talking about doritos and Mt. Dew extreme? Because I'm not sure we're ready for that as a country.

Whoa really? I don't remember ever seeing any "Romney is autistic" jokes last time. I guess was it supposed to be because he never showed much emotion?

It seemed to me at the time anyways that it was more of a jest regards his aloofness and gaffes(Binders full of women, 47%, etc).

I mean, I get it, and it wasn't really offensive to me or anything. But I just wished some folks back then(not here to my knowledge, as I wasn't yet a poster here) would be able to tell the difference between upper class white privilege and neurodiversity.

Yes because the cause célèbre of Palestine for international terrorism subsided with the formalization of the Oslo process. That's when bin laden shifted focus to the US.
