Chilichimp posted:If they wanted Clinton to lose, backing her direct opponent and her 3rd party would be a smart move. I suppose that's true, but backing the legless horse in the horse race with the 400 pound jockey seems kind of dumb.  And yeah, if she does get implicated I can't imagine what the impact will be on third parties / the Greens within the US.

Overwined posted:I'm just sad that McCain probably won't be alive to see the country he has always been so deep concerned with go down in a blaze of ignominy. Seriously though, I know it's a long-shot, but it would be amazing if McCain just snapped and decided to use everything he's got left to take down Trump in an act of sheer (totally justified) revenge. His party couldn't get him into the White house, but they got this cheeto dusted piece of human garbage there? If McCain finds himself wondering what he could do to secure a legacy that the country will remember him for, that would do the trick.

I doubt Russia thought it would actually work when they started, so trying to get more actors on board for the chaos campaign was probably an early part of the plan. I mean, it seemed pretty unlikely that a sycophant like Trump would win the Republican nomination in the early stages. So if JEB is the Republican guy Stein throwing poo poo from the edges is probably the best Russia was going to do.

Not to be a debbie downer but my dad is going into surgery on Friday to remove a tumor larger than a golf ball from his brain on Friday and I am...very conflicted about McCain right now. On one hand I know how much it loving sucks just watching and waiting, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. On the other hand that guy refuses to buck a party that is actively trying to take away the ability for my dad to get fixed. Thankfully it's not malignant, but it put enough pressure on his brain to cause a seizure this past weekend which is when we discovered it. I guess I just don't have the energy to be spiteful towards McCain because when he goes it will be known that he enabled the Palins of the world and did nothing after to stop it. That's shameful and everyone knows it. His reputation and legacy will be forever tarnished for what he did and didn't do. That's enough for me at least for now.

McCain was tortured for over five years in Vietnam, suffering injuries so severe that he lost full control of his arms forever. After years of torture, he never gave up on his fellow soldiers or betrayed his country. Then, in 2008, he wanted power, so he told everyone that torture was effective and a moral imperative for America to engage in. He has no values and will soon be dead. Good loving riddance.

Everyone deserves a measure of respect and compassion, just as everyone deserves some measure of scorn and mockery. I can pity him for getting tortured and getting cancer, but I still consider him to be absolute fucker, who has always cared more about PR then his beliefs.

BIG HEADLINE posted:"I'd be glad to speak at his funeral so long as his whiny family doesn't get upset when I make it all about me." Senator McCain was a great man. He was a soldier in the army. Many people don't know that. He saw the large crowds stretching for miles at my inauguration. It was the greatest electoral college victory since Ronald Reagan.

They'll laugh at the evidence and say the Demodumbs are trying to trick them, and continue voting Green because obviously they are too stupid to breathe. They didn't learn with Nader, and they didn't learn with Hilary. The overarching response after Trump won was "Well, at least I didn't have to vote against my conscious." followed by "I'll be fine black people/minorities. I'm white." followed by "WHY ARE YOU ALL PICKING ON ME. I THOUGHT US LEFTIST TYPES WERE SUPPOSED TO STICK TOGETHER.". People need to stop paying attention to Greens/Third Party types. Stop giving them ammo, just make fun of them relentlessly until they stop voting altogether.
