Also patriotism in the US was much more about being an american in the sense that saying it's awesome being an american means everyone regardless of race or religion just gets together around a BBQ with beers and watches sports and poo poo, then W made it about never questioning authority/military and that might makes right. W poisoned what US patriotism really is (and should be) in the same manner than the right wing has poisoned christianity over the last 30 years and that the DNC pushed back on what it had become was a nice change of pace.

I'm very much enjoying the recent push to highlight the diversity of America in patriotic messages. It's seriously a great thing about the United States that we have, currently and historically, such a huge immigrant population and depictions of Americans that show more than whitebread suburban nuclear families are awesome.

In case we forgot about it, Trump is apparently showing off his faux purple heart at his Jacksonville rally right now. He's so proud of it, he's always wanted one, and he's right that this way is easier

emdash posted:https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/760989972245549056 The emote you want is  I think we're kind of lucky Hillary is the nominee this year. She's the ideal Trump counter: a perpetually calm, level-headed person who can play the adult in the room and never sweats or budges an inch under intense pressure. Trump can scream at her all day long and she'll just smile calmly.

I appreciate Nixon's veto pen for protecting Missouri from the GOP legislature, which thinks Kansas is a role model, but he deserves this.

Crows Turn Off posted:Ok, is this person qualified to draw these conclusions? Prestor is an interesting character, Basically grew up in a religious fundamentalist cult, I believe also worked at cedar rapids. Also was homeless in austin and gave a good thread about their homeless camp program. Turns out to be a schizophrenic, Thats really the qualification here, a "crazy" person explaining these conservative assholes. I didnt believe the predictions ether, but this melt down so soon after the convention is spot on. I had a hard time with prestor's prediction of insight to violence or one of trumps followers picking up a secret message and killing someone. And seeing how he keeps pissing off people at his rallies I think the odds of him getting a riot going are getting less and less

Necc0 posted:I think it's more a reaction from the Bush years and the Democrats have finally regained their confidence enough to proudly call themselves Americans. Being from your country is a source of pride? Not meaning that as a joke, I just do not have any idea of why people would feel that way. I mean I always thought it was just, you know, something for people who wanted to appeal to the centre right. Lightning Knight posted:I can't remember if it was on SA or somewhere else, but somebody said something to the effect of, no matter who you are or what political party you belong to, every American has that moment where they want to tear open their shirt to reveal a flag and chant USA like we just caught Osama again. Wow. I mean I cannot imagine that and with all the best will in the world that is really outside of anything I would consider usual. I mean sure, whatever floats your boat but that is really different.

Is The Hill a conservative news site? http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/290204-better-brush-up-on-the-25th-amendment-if-trump-wins Do real people buy into electing a guy, and then immediately deposing him? How can you possibly think that is the better option than Hillary?

quote:"Trump is Trump," observes John Noonan, a former national security aide to Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush who has sworn off voting for the GOP nominee this year. "You can pull somebody out of the insane asylum and staff him with the best people in the business, and he's still going to be in the parking lot screaming about the book of Revelations and there's nothing you can do about it. Hillary's the placekicker on the field. She's shanking every kick. And Trump's the guy pleasuring himself in the stands."

smg77 posted:More on Trump imploding. some good stuff here quote:This week alone, Trump has escalated a feud with the Muslim parents of a U.S. soldier who died serving in Iraq, declined to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Sen. John McCain of Arizona in their respective primary bids, and even half-jokingly rebuked a mother and her crying baby at a rally. His actions, according to a Republican operative familiar with the campaign, have left some Trump aides privately "apoplectic" that a seemingly winnable contest against Hillary Clinton appears to be slipping irrevocably out of reach. yes that's the problem, not that your candidate is a horrible human being or that he's wrong but that you won't beat Evil Hillary quote:The Republican operative familiar with the Trump operation tells U.S. News that Trump has increasingly been back in regular contact with his former campaign manager turned CNN commentator, Corey Lewandowski.  so Trump's blaming Manafort for his own failings and going completely off the leash, because of course Trump knows better.
