Cato was kind of a big old hypocrite himself, who was mostly pissed all those new men were entering politics, and doing better at it than he was.

I still am surprised Jindal supposedly spent the most in Iowa, because honestly, where'd he get the money?

Donald Trump defends his vocal support for eminent domain: ‘I think it’s a wonderful thing’ This is going to be repeated and repeated over and over. Trump is the evil developer from UP! who wanted to knock down that cute old man's balloon home. NotJesus posted:Honestly, what would Trump even use more money for at this point? He gets more publicity for free than he could ever buy. Exactly, he doesn't need to buy ads, he's getting all the air time he could ever need. He can even use this as an attack against his opponents showing that he gets YOOOGE results with very little money spent. A true fiscal conservative!

Montasque posted:Donald Trump defends his vocal support for eminent domain: ‘I think it’s a wonderful thing’ Only the most hardcore libertarian is against eminent domain itself. Many more people hate it when it's used badly, like in Kelo, but the concept itself is pretty well entrenched in modern government. It's even allowed for in the Constitution. Furthermore, the old man in UP! literally attacked a guy trying to serve papers on him. That is never the appropriate response to a legal matter.

NotJesus posted:Honestly, what would Trump even use more money for at this point? He gets more publicity for free than he could ever buy. Only spending 2 million shows that Trump isn't as serious as other leading candidates. Yes, he needs to spend far less on ads than anyone else, but most of the money spent is on infrastructure. Especially with Super PACs totally not coordinating ad buys. Most of that money is spent on campaign offices in the early primaries and beyond as well as paid staff and the cost of providing for volunteers. Maybe Trump is just negotiating the gently caress out of everyone, getting people to build him web pages for $3 and work on his campaign for $9. It is more likely however that this is a symptom of the lack of a ground game that has been pointed to by many as to why Trump is going to have trouble turning his poll numbers into votes. Especially since he's paying for everything himself and is reported to be reticent to spend money. The article mentions that his team has a $350k budget for ballot access which he has yet to approve, for instance.

Caros posted:I thought you got banned for talking about the slavic master race in games? Best of luck with your new :tenbux: I suppose. Someone thought that Creative Assembly gave African and Russian factions bonus charge damage in a Total War game because Africans and Russians "don't understand technology" which I thought was legitimately racist, to project that kind of thinking on the intent of CA. Like they've never seen Rocky or watched UFC or anything where some monstrously strong Russian beats the poo poo out of everybody routinely. Eastern Europeans dominate wrestling and weightlifting as an international sport, with the top athletes going undefeated in world competition for years. Aleksandr Karelin for example has like 900 wins and 2 losses in wrestling and people celebrated a miracle when an American heavyweight stopped him from his fourth straight Olympic gold medal in 2000. I was actually a (half Polish) wrestler in high school and was amazed at the lack of strength most people even bigger than me had when I never bothered weight training. Is it really considered "racist" to talk about Slavs being strong? I feel that is almost.. intolerant of multiculturalism. Slavs were as much of a target in the Holocaust as Jews and I've been called a stupid polack more times than I can count by my fellow Americans. So yes, I was banned off the Something Awful Forums for openly talking about my "race" when a bunch of (presumably not slavic) posters were speaking in generalizations about it. Boy that certainly taught me a lesson about racism!

Or just watch any American sport even. I'm Polish and apathetic towards sports but I always could sprint and swim faster, lift heavier weights, and do more pull ups than lovely weak white guy fitness spergs and athletes. I feel like you're underselling it just a little bit.
