Trump's future engagements crumbling around him leaving him no choice but to try a legitimate run at the presidency is the sort of thing you'd see in a movie. It's like Brewster's Millions or something, but this is real life. This is a thing that is happening. This primary season is already entertaining, but I have a confession to make. I miss Michelle Bachmann. She was a special brand of crazy that I don't see anywhere in the 2016 field.

So anyways if Trump were ever to win the presidency he is persona non-grata in pretty much every single latin country for ruining their favorite contest and also for being a racist. Wonder how that will work.

I'm pretty sure we Americans would have much more pressing concerns under President Trump, such as his plan to solve the national debt by having the US declare bankruptcy and then selling the assets in a private auction to a shell country owned by him. Can't wait to see what my rights are as a new citizen of 1st Trump National.

So we're planning a party to watch the first republican debate. My wife and our roommate are trying to think of snacks such as "Chips and Secure Our Borders Dip." Meanwhile, I'm in charge of coming up with the drinking game. The cornerstone of it will be "Take a sip when God is mentioned" as well as "Take a sip when the Constitution is mentioned" but I worry that we'll all be passed out before it is over with those rules alone.

Edit: ^^^^I know some couples my age who have a roommate. Getting your own place is expensive, yo. Begin drinking when you see Trump; do not stop drinking from that point on, you've already won. Seriously any rules about drinking games would have to wait until we have confirmation he'll actually be attending, rather than closing up shop before then to save his business. He has the potential to turn the whole thing into a complete farce, you could structure the whole set of rules around the guy like finish your drink if he tells another candidate to shut up.

Stuff is expensive as gently caress. I know hella other married couples around here that have roommates as well. Luckily, our roommate is a good friend that was interested in moving to the area the same time we were. So it just worked out.

Luckily the word 'house' can have a more abstract meaning (a dwelling of any type), so you still have a much better option than referring to a whole apartment as a room. Come on America. You can speak English properly, I know you can.

One of the nice things about living overseas is learning that, after so much worrying about Americans being bad tourists, we don't even make the top 5 in a lot of countries. When I go overseas I'm expected as an American to be able to control my drinking and my fists, whereas if I show up with a British accent and an association football jersey they roll out the vomit bucket and get the stun-gun ready.

Yeah man I'm sure those countries would have been far better off if they'd only been able to elect parliamentary heads of government like Margaret Thatcher, David Cameron, or Tony Abbott. Twat.

Are we going to debate the efficacy of a presidential vs. a parliamentary system now? That doesn't seem like an argument that'll get resolved or go anywhere. I am absolutely sure we're not going to change to a parliamentary system before the next election or, you know, ever. lmaoboy1998 posted:That's exactly my point you mongloid Using a moronically outdated racist slur and misspelling it: Proud British tradition at its finest.

It's an internet forum, that's the done thing. By contrast the American tendency to misuse words like 'roommate' and their failure to negate things properly extends into formal settings, which is more offensive to me.
