Yinlock posted:#1 is typically "Foreigners are tainting our pure unmatched language and culture with their dirty foreignness, also taking are jobs" and #2 happens when #1 takes that to the point of violence. Have you read any books on the British Empire? Or heck, on the Roman Empire? Because those guys were sure as poo poo number 2, but were butchering number 1 pretty much constantly. there wolf posted:Since I don't think you ever got much of an answer for your questions, patriotism/nationalism serve a function, convincing a disperate groups of people that they share something so they'll be more inclined to work towards common goals and collective enterprises like society and government. It usually does this by referencing shared culture and values while establishing some kind of other to be distinguished from. I always hope that people would work together based on teh fact that working together generally means that all people get more of what they want. Patriotism towards a country that is involved in things that are really none kosher, often for good reason, always strikes me as terrifying. I mean the obvious Trump/Bush level is obviously far worse but drone strikes and support for crappier nations and so on all make me a bit uneasy. I understand wanting to celebrate egalitarianism (and rightly so) but did it have to be "we live in the greatest nation on earth"? Because by some metrics only certain areas are like that. I mean I don't think I would ever wear a shirt made out of a union jack, and would be mildly worried if I saw someone walking around with one in the street.

I practically heard the cartoon peddling/junk clanks as I read the article. It turned into that Road Runner sonic boom hum once I read that Chairman Doofus has sole control over the account (if you believe there's an unnamed volunteer that isn't like his wife, that wasn't tossed under the bus, then I have a Trump Steak to sell you)

Aliquid posted:Wonky history question: Let's say George HW Bush dies within the next few years. When was the last time a major party had only one current or former president still alive? Late Truman years? Lyndon B. Johnson was the only living current or former Democratic president from December 1972 to January 1973. After that, there were no Democratic (ex) presidents until Carter was elected in 1977. Carter was it for the Dems until Clinton was elected in 1993. From October 1964 to March 1969 Dwight Eisenhower was the only living Republican (ex) president. From Eisenhower's death in March 1969 until Nixon's election in January 1973 there were no living Republican (ex) presidents. Herbert Hoover was the only living Republican (ex) president from January 1933 until January 1953. Peak Republicans was the early 2000s when you had Ford, Reagan and both Bushes alive and kicking or during the Clinton years with Nixon replacing the younger Bush. Peak Democrats was the 1860s with Pierce, Buchanan and one of Van Buren or Johnson (but not both) or right now with Carter, Clinton and Obama. If Carter can hold on and Hillary wins in November, peak Democrat will be January 2017+ ex presidents only: 1797-03-04 :: 1799-12-19 George Washington (Non-partisan) 1799-12-19 :: 1801-03-04 vacant 1801-03-04 :: 1809-03-04 John Adams (Federalist) 1809-03-04 :: 1817-03-04 John Adams (Federalist) Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) 1817-03-04 :: 1825-03-04 John Adams (Federalist) Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) James Madison (Democratic-Republican) 1825-03-04 :: 1826-07-04 John Adams (Federalist) Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) James Madison (Democratic-Republican) James Monroe (Democratic-Republican) 1826-07-04 :: 1829-03-04 James Madison (Democratic-Republican) James Monroe (Democratic-Republican) 1829-03-04 :: 1831-07-04 James Madison (Democratic-Republican) James Monroe (Democratic-Republican) John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) 1831-07-04 :: 1836-06-28 James Madison (Democratic-Republican) John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) 1836-06-28 :: 1837-03-04 John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) 1837-03-04 :: 1841-03-04 John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) Andrew Jackson (Democratic) 1841-03-04 :: 1845-03-04 John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) Andrew Jackson (Democratic) Martin Van Buren (Democratic) 1845-03-04 :: 1845-06-08 John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) Andrew Jackson (Democratic) Martin Van Buren (Democratic) John Tyler (Whig/Independent) 1845-06-08 :: 1848-02-23 John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) Martin Van Buren (Democratic) John Tyler (Whig/Independent) 1848-02-23 :: 1849-03-04 Martin Van Buren (Democratic) John Tyler (Whig/Independent) 1849-03-04 :: 1849-06-15 Martin Van Buren (Democratic) John Tyler (Whig/Independent) James K.

quote:In an emailed statement late Wednesday afternoon, Riverside County GOP Chairman Scott Mann said:� “I was made aware of derogatory Tweet this afternoon toward Secretary Clinton when the Press-Enterprise called me for comment. I was horrified and had the Tweet taken down immediately. While some may think it was political satire, it clearly has no place in American political dialogue. quote:Earlier he had said in an email: “That meme is nothing more than political satire. It simply expresses how Ms. Clinton seemingly has gotten away with every scandal and political flip-flop in her public life – from classified e-mail and Benghazi to her changing positions on health care, TPP, NAFTA, gay marriage, etc.” So he was both horrified and simultaneously told people that they need to get a sense of humor? Also, I didn't realize changing your position on something like gay marriage is a lynch-worthy offense.

You missed the best partquote:.In a telephone interview, Mann said only he and another volunteer have access to the Twitter account and editorial discretion to tweet from it. He said he didn’t send out the tweet and declined to name the volunteer. So basically he did it and invented an intern to take the blame.

You aren't violating the flag code by using stars and stripes napkins or dressing up as Captain America.

So I was thinking about this earlier. Republicans should be able to read the writing on the wall and be resolved to 4 years of Abuela, why doesn't Hillary just start acting like she's vetting far-left judges for SCOTUS? I'd think that would get them to confirm Garland in a heartbeat.

greatn posted:Why does Jihnson seem to take more from Clinton than Trump in all these? I really don't think any significant portion of these are Democrats or liberals or even Bernie-or-busters, so it's not cutting into the base vote of Hillary. They are should-be-gimme Trump votes going somewhere else, and that's all that's really important. And I don't think most of them will stick to their guns about a third party when it comes down to the actual voting, so that's even better news for Hillary.

Also, there's still an army of nerds who played Bioshock just long enough to hear Andrew Ryan's monologue, but then quit the game or ignored the whole "Libertarian project failed under its own weight" angle that dominated the story.

So I keep getting into it on fb comments with friends of friends about trump they all seem to jump to hilary and I was even asked to watch this 1 hour youtube video https://youtu.be/ZY5Qz3RJ0B0 It really is a broken record. When faced with anything negative about trump its, Hilary is only ahead cause she cheats and lies. Look at how the liberial media is making it seem like her gathers are full but they are really almost empty. How could you vote for her. So far on the list against trump I go 1. Shat on goldstar family 2. Took a fake purple heart 3. Shat on fire fighters 4. Possible Ties to russia Am I missing anything?

Polico reports that Trump's Wife was an illegal immigrate.quote:While Trump and her husband, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, have said she came to the United States legally, her own statements suggest she first came to the country on a short-term visa that would not have authorized her to work as a model. Trump has also said she came to New York in 1996, but the nude photo shoot places her in the United States in 1995, as does a biography published in February by Slovenian journalists.
