Thanks. I learned how to make it, tried it, and got over it long before it became a scourge in the 80s and 90s. Also smoked and snorted crack long before it made headlines.

I can speak from experience, unlike the rest of you sitting in your armchairs making lame ass jokes.

^ great point. Obviously I don't want the current Democrats in charge because they don't align with my views, but their tactics are probably just as culpable for the loss as their policies.

He has every reason to honestly. At least if you are looking at the actual facts.

This isn't about the election (although I do believe that the emails and the FBI's handling of the situation certainly cost Clinton some votes).



If Reagan was alive he'd be punching Trump in the mouth.

I'm very pleased there is still public outcry and that can still affect what is happening. It's a small glimmer of hope. I really thought republicans would start doing whatever they wanted, given that there has been this attitude of "we don't really want this stuff to happen, but it is, so oh well". Compare this to bipartisan outrage at things like the Watergate scandal - our blase reaction and inept path forward to recent issues (ie Russia cyberwarfare) that have arguably been worse than Watergate has been really disheartening. Clearly, Republicans are testing the waters of what they can get away with - we will lose a lot, but at least people are still paying attention.

Trump has nothing to worry about, he just has to take the blame, and I don't think he gives a fuck about personal criticism. Just another scapegoat.

I'm not so sure about that. Of course a large portion of the 50% who live off of the other 50% are almost guaranteed to vote for immoral leftist policies.

And if anyone has had a branding issue (until Trump) it's been Republicans. Dems have always painted themselves as the party of the people, a kind of Robin' Hood.

Tired of the leftists are gods and righties are evil narrative, Goofle scoured the finest political minds of YouTube and found himself entirely on the other side and exactly as uninformed as before.

Seriously, the first year I was here I thought he was dope. Now I just think he's a dope for swallowing all of the snake oil. He's worse than Tori Black and Jenna Haze combined as far as swallowing goes.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 01-03-2017 05:05 PM

lol Chula is just proving the "leftist elitism" by defining Goofle by his political ideologies. seriously people, grow up. the fact that you'll actually change your opinion on someone over being a republican or a democrat is ridiculous.

DwnWthVwls 01-03-2017 05:10 PM

Pretty sure most people are worse than those two at swallowing things.

It only changed how I see him when it comes to politics, otherwise he's a swell guy.

And you're as much of a right wing cliche as the leftists you mock. Hopefully a few years of thinking will make you embarrassed about your current goof(le)y politics.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 01-03-2017 05:15 PM

BS.

I'm changing my opinion on Goofle based on what he states. Posting **** like 50% of Americans are living off of the other 50% of Americans is flat out offensive. I don't give a **** what flag you wave. It's a stupid and ignorant statement. I didn't think he had it in him. Now I know he does. Therefore my opinion of him has changed.

Don't sink to his simple minded level Q.

DwnWthVwls 01-03-2017 05:19 PM

That's right. 99% of Americans are living off of 1%.. Useless society of slobs we have here, get it right Goofle.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 01-03-2017 05:22 PM

you're entitled to think whatever you want, I just think it's silly to allow your opinion of someone to change based on politics. especially considering this is a music forum, not a forum based on US politics.

also I don't really sink to anyone's level, I like to follow US politics for the entertainment since Canadian politics are so cut and dry with every party being either very slightly to the left or very slightly to the right.

DwnWthVwls 01-03-2017 05:24 PM

Politics can be racist, sexist, bigoted, etc.. If the person believes in supporting those positions I don't see why it's unreasonable to change your opinion of them.
