And now there are shitheads running Congress, and when Obama attempted to engage them in civil discussion they spat on him and called him a fascist.

I'm done with coddling shitheads. When they're ready to listen, we'll talk, but being unwilling to listen is what makes them shitheads.

They invited Ted Kennedy in 1983. He accepted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTqePZLlv10

Whether they do it as a joke, or as some legitimate sense of cultural exchange, or whatever, I don't know - but they've been sending out invites for a long time. Hillary Clinton's campaign didn't reply.

Twas the day of debate, when all throughout Cleveland,
Conservatives knew, it was time to get even.
The establishment practiced and prepped with great care,
In the fear that The Donald soon would be there.

The masses were nestled all snug in their seats,
Waiting to witness the establishments' defeat.
And moderators at their desk, and candidates on stage,
Bracing themselves for Ol' St. Trump's rage.

When out on the street there arose such a clatter,
They sprang from the Q to see what was the matter.
Into the streets they flew like a flash,
Knowing that soon there would be a great clash.

The moon shined on the breast of the Cuyahoga River,
And Walker and Bush began to quiver,
At the sight their wondering eyes had just seen,
A Sikorsky S-76, luxurious and pristine.

With a gold plated logo, and plush leather interior,
All knew in a moment Mr. Trump was superior.
The candidates all bowed their heads in shame,
As St. Trump descended, and called them by name!

"Now Walker! now, Bush! now, Marco and Rand!
You've let rapists and murderers into our land!
On our southern border, I'll build a great wall!
And I'll make the Mexicans pay for it all!"

"Oh look, it's JEB!, the establishments' choice,
They claim he'll provide a reasonable voice.
But JEB! hired his brother's foreign policy hacks,
Who started that stupid war in Iraq!"

"And Scott Walker is here, with his terrible hair!
Against me this loser hasn't a prayer!
He bowed, he groveled, and begged both the Kochs,
He's a shill, a stooge, the ultimate joke!"

"And there's Mike Huckabee, a modern day theocrat,
He raised taxes in Arkansas like some kind of Democrat!
Look, it's Chris Christie, how could you miss him?
We could solve world hunger if we let the Africans eat him!"

"Marco Rubio, they say, is the great Latin hope,
but if you ask me, he's kind of a dope.
Ben Carson I'll admit, is one fine class act,
Have I mentioned how much I love all the blacks?"

"Like father, like son, Rand Paul is a quack!
John Kasich is a Lehman Brother's Wall-Street hack!
About Ted Cruz, I won't say a bad thing,
He's the only one here smart enough to kiss the ring."

"I see that loser Lindsey Graham isn't here,
who the hell would vote for that closeted queer?
I see that Rick Perry is absent too,
That mouth-breathing retard couldn't add 2 and 2."

Humbled, the candidates spoke not a word,
With tears in their eyes, the sobs in their throats could be heard.
Donald ran his hand through his magnificent comb-over,
Knowing their campaigns were toast, it was over.

He sprang to his chopper, to the crowd he waved good-bye,
And away he flew into the night sky.
But they heard him exclaim, as he soared higher and higher,
"Let's make America Great Again!!! Obama you're fired!!!"

No, it really isn't proof of anything until they publicly revoke their "Liberty Way" rulebook that punishes being raped almost as harshly as they punish raping someone.

It's funny how you think pointing out the kids are being controlled by what is essentially an abusive school means we hate the kids. You see the problem is that even if they were all totally converted to his words after the speech, it would be punishable for them to do anything about it in any sort of public way.

Hillary Clinton isn't speaking there, but anyway yes their personal freedoms are in fact forfeit as long as they're n that school, because the school is basically a fascist's dream. You're not allowed to be out of step with the official ideology at all while you're there. And we're not the ones who made it that way, it's the school itself that does that.

The only way you can regain your personal freedom if you're currently there is to graduate or accept dropping out and hope to god you can scrounge up the cash to go to a real university.

My point is that mandating early voting for like a month or more is way more helpful towards people who are blocked from voting now, then a single hypothetical day off could ever be.The numbers don't lie, early voting always helps tons.
