Spread more terror though. Could see it being used against women. Hope I'm wrong. ****s.

OccultHawk 11-03-2017 04:33 PM

It started as a way to mangle women’s faces in Bangladesh and Pakistan, didn’t it?

It's been used against women and men loads already in honour attacks.

I feel like it's too sexy of an I told you so to be true.

OccultHawk 11-03-2017 06:54 PM

Might as well register Republican since the DNC doesn’t allow real primaries anyway.

Democracy is great.

Voting in America is such bull****. How many laws have the Dems voted for that ensure it's a two party system? Then they lock in probably the only person ****ish enough to lose to Donald Trump. Every vote you cast is a vote for your own oppression.

Yes, and I've been saying it for a while. This Russian **** got me unsure about how true anything is though.

OccultHawk 11-03-2017 07:52 PM

I didn’t think the RNC would let Trump win the primary either but I was wrong.

But it really makes you think the DNC stopped a Sanders presidency

You, sir, are NOT an anarchist by any stretch. Stop appropriating words to pretend you’re a radical. You’re like 23 and you’re already voting for ****s like Hillary? lol That’s like almost no different than voting for Reagan. That’s ****ing pathetic.

OccultHawk 11-03-2017 08:32 PM

That’s fine to take that position. It’s just not remotely anarchistic.

Chula Vista 11-03-2017 08:41 PM

To those who voted for Trump: So how's that working out for ya so far?

Papadopoulos, Kushner, and Page: Oh my!
Papadopoulos, Kushner, and Page: Oh my!

All turning over info to the special councel. All three admitting to previously lying.

More pigeons waiting in the wings.

Mueller is starting with the smaller branches and working his way down to the really big ones until finally the tree will be cut down and all that will be left is a STRUMP.

:D

How did your Clinton vote turn out for you?

Point being? I've been through a lot of elections and presidencies. Never ever seen a winning candidate, his staff, his zombie TV talking heads, and his base spending so much energy deflecting the massive negativity towards their boy, almost a year after he was sworn in, by bringing up his losing opponent.

Also, there's the irony and hypocrisy.

Question: We need to get to the bottom of possible collusion, right?

Trumpazoid: Get over it. Clinton lost and Trump is President. Stop being bitter and bringing up the past.

Question: What do you have to say about the fact that Kushner has just turned over documents to the special counsel?

Trumpazoid: CLINTON!!!!!!!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

PS: I didn't vote. But I supported Clinton.

The Batlord 11-04-2017 03:07 AM

Honestly I think half the reason Chula hates Trump is just cause he beat Clinton and killed Don's boner.

rubber soul 11-04-2017 04:54 AM

Well, maybe in a perfect world they'll come in and nail both Clinton (Bill and Hilary) and Trump for destroying American democracy.

But somehow I suspect Americans will continue to be comfortable in their apathy.

PS- How can you say you supported anyone if you didn't vote? I supported and voted for Sanders in the primary (I admittedly held my nose when I voted for Hilary in the general- I like the Green Party, but Jill Stein was just a little too weird)

I’m sure she appreciates that. It’s the thought that counts.

I was actually pretty sick that day and spending a lot of time in the privy.

Clinton beat Trump by 4,270,000 votes in Cali so I figured she'd be OK without me. And I supported her leading up to the election by pointing out all of the ways she was less evil than Trump. Probably didn't flip anyone but at least gave em food for thought.

Re: Sanders - Clinton beat him by a whole 12% of the votes (3,682,000). And that's just with the Dems voting. Pretty much a landslide.

By comparison, Trump lost to Clinton in the popular vote by 2.1% (2,868,691) and that's with both parties voting.

Hey, why don't they use the electoral college in the primaries? (might be a dumb question - it just popped into my head)

I guess. I’m some sort of southern white trash.

Because the electoral college is a product of constitutional laws and primaries are governed by the political parties. The process of choosing a candidate is completely up to the discretion of the party. Even having a primary is just a courtesy or a way to garner attention or whatever. And yes, that’s a dumb question. It shows you don’t understand the difference between a candidate and an elected official.

That's true. Historically, they didn't even have primaries. The party bosses decided who would be their candidate. It might have done us some good last year because, though I'm sure Hilary would have gotten the Democratic nod anyway, the Republicans would certainly have chosen someone other than Trump, possibly Rubio who seemed to have started out as the heir apparent.

You really self-identify as racist?

OccultHawk 11-04-2017 02:29 PM

All honest people do. But yeah. It saves me the trouble of having to defend myself against accusations of it.

He's a white, American male. Of course he's racist.

Racism has yielded fantastic results, big picture.

Was curious just how many of the days Trump's been in office that he's spent playing golf.

Thankfully, there's apparently a website dedicated to that.

I watched the PBS interview with Alec Baldwin. This is why white males should just embrace the role of oppressor. No matter what you say, you’ll be cast as the bad guy. As a white male, I say we appropriate the words “racist” and “sexist” the way blacks appropriated the word “nigga” (which is exactly the same as ******) and homosexuals “queer”. Reclaim the empowerment of the terms of empowerment “Whaddup racist?” “Yeah, you know me!”

Baldwin tried to open the discussion in a sincere, honest way in an effort to try to root out the problem. Instead of discussion he gets a crucifixion. Why play that game? If people want to work together, I’ll work together. If people want to fight, I’ll fight to ****ing win.
