there will be rules, basically there's a drinking game via 9th layer's post and a bingo game, you can do both if you want, or just one, or neither~

however

the bingo game is gonna have a submission time limit so you can't try to cheat on it (yuuuge paddlin if you try). We're still hashing it out and the rules and application will be explained in the debate OP

so it's a good idea to be a few hours early if you want to play the bingo game so you can submit your official card in time before starting it at 9pm est. Change pending on that though, just be early~

right on!

The fact that the self-proclaimed pious, "adults in the room" get away with mocking progressive politics as naive and unrealistic, is a complete branding disaster for left parties everywhere.

i always keep a copy of Inferno close at hand to remind me of what is Trump's America.




And upon the third circle of hell I descended, where it rained excrement. Virgil said upon to me "This is the land of Gluttony." The tortured souls grasping and writhing only for no sustenance. Lo, a great beast patrolled amongst them. "Feckless!" he cried, as he punished a poor tortured soul by devouring him whole. He sighted upon us, and a great roar echoed from its gaping maw. Virgil grabbed me exclaimed "It is Christie!" The cruel, monsterous beast, with three chins growled in the dark air.

His eyes beady, his fingers greasy and clubbed, approached, trampling the tortured souls.

Virgil grabbed a hold of me and hurried me to a dilapidated bridge, but we could not cross, for the way was blocked.

Low on the list of rebrands, but still pretty irksome, is "secular" being a bad word.

A friend of mine railed against secularists some time ago, cuz they're trying to undermine Christianity and therefore destroy America.

I don't see it that often, but the word/its derivatives come up.

I was woken up on the day Scalia died by my dad telling me the news. I immediately said "Wow, that's great!" and my dad said he knew I'd be happy. The best way to bond with family is over the death of heinous old men.

I was obviously happy with Osama died, but the celebrations in the street seemed kind of gauche and weird at the time. I felt no such reservations about Scalia. I'm a bad person.

Nixon had the unique ability to make his enemies seem honorable, and we developed a keen sense of fraternity. Some of my best friends have hated Nixon all their lives. My mother hates Nixon, my son hates Nixon, I hate Nixon, and this hatred has brought us together.

Nixon laughed when I told him this. "Don't worry," he said, "I, too, am a family man, and we feel the same way about you."

"Progressive" is an eye-roller now because it got embraced by a bunch of retard idiots all fighting with each other other an ideal of purity that simply doesn't exist even within their own consensus.

It's meaningless because Tulsi "firebomb all brown people, supports Muslim genociders" Gabbard is one but Sherrod Brown and pretty much anybody more liberal than Bernie isn't.

All "progressive" used to mean was someone who kissed Bernie's ring. Now that Bernie is a sellout shill it means absolutely nothing except "the sort of people who handcuff themselves to event chairs"

Yeah, and it's applied to almost anything you can consider progressive.

"You [lgbt/women/non-muslims] think you have it bad here? Stop complaining! Other countries would kill you!"

No no no no no no America should never strive to improve, we're already better than x amount of countries in some measures, so we're good for now.
