all i really want for the next president is someone who will get rid of the insurance mandate

considering that would basically destroy the insurance industry that probably won't happen

how many states will suddenly become quite concerned about in-person voter fraud months before the general election

lmao liberals are the most racist people who will admit one way or another that they voted for obama because he is black

ask most people why they voted for obama and they'll say "for change" or something, but they can't name anything in particular other than vague buzzwords

Question is, how many votes can hillary get for being a woman?

Dems support unions. Do you disagree?

Sure, Billy Clinton outsourced the entire American manufacturing sector, but still supported unions.

Hillary comes off as arrogant and elitist in most of her public speaking things. I don't know why they think she could be a serious contender, she will fail.

It's February 19th, 2018. I wake up, check my phone. Good, bitcoin is up another 5% overnight to around $18k per coin. The world is starting to come around to the notion of decentralized currency, but us early adopters know there's still more to come. A lot more. I've been accumulating coins since 2014 with each paycheck. Not to brag, but I've got quite the nest egg. Best of all, nobody knows it but me. No bankers. No stock brokers. Just me and the blockchain. I shower and get dressed. I take my dog for a walk. The sun is shining and all of the drones are headed to their lousy jobs. My phone beeps. Ha, Roger Ver just tweeted that Western Union is getting bought by Coinbase. Nice. After a short breakfast I head to the car dealership where I test drive the latest from Tesla. Think I'll wait a bit. After world markets started quoting the price of oil in bitcoin, I don't really sweat the ups and downs of gas prices. Think I'll stick with what I have. Besides, I don't want my neighbors to realize that the scruffy guy next door is one of the richest people in town. I drop by my office (literally MY office since I own the whole building). Bitcoin is up another 2% on the WU news..sweet! Most of my tenants pay their rent in bitcoin. Every month they each swing by with a Trezor. No need for a shady middle man or bank. Ah, forgot to mention that my office building is actually an old bank. They seem to be closing up left and right these days. After a little work (have to keep up appearances, right) I close up and head over to the bar. Things are a little slow so I fire up some satoshi dice on the ol' android phone. Too bad IOS fell off the map...such a shame that ApplePay took the whole thing down. Over in the corner of the bar some goobers play video poker. Good luck fellas have fun putting your cash in uncle sam's wallet. With not much going on around town I head home and watch Rise and Rise of Bitcoin Part 7 on Netflix. Man I love that movie. The part about Lawsky's trial is my favorite part. Afterwards I fire up the grill and cook up some prime steaks from the butcher, paid for in bitcoin of course. I love getting a 20% discount for paying in bitcoin. Just as the delicious smoke starts drifting away from the grill, the neighborhood suckers start coming home from their jobs. Bet you guys wish you hadn't bet on fiat.

i mean, i guess, but i don't think you can really support something that doesnt exist. dems also support deathcamps, but those also dont exist so it only matters if union is one of your trigger words

calling it now before going on news embargo, wake me up and tell me I was right about everything in 2017

republicans will briefly toy with Bobby Jindal before settling on the next president of the US, that big brass Wall Street bull with a hatch installed so you can throw people in and light a fire under it

quote:

Brian Leary, a spokesman for the Secret Service, said the agency has adjusted to the fact that most threats against the president now occur online.

“The capability is there, and we have to evolve with technology as well,” he said, adding that the number of threats against Obama “did spike a few months after the [2008] election, but they declined back to a level that is consistent with his predecessors, and they still are.”

Other sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said Obama received triple the number of threats than previous presidents during his initial candidacy and first year in office. That number has declined significantly since then, they said, but is still elevated compared with Obama’s predecessors

Lets assume Hilary wins the White House.

Would a Hilary Presidency have more or less death threats per unit time than the Obama Presidency?

Ie would a Hilary Presidency shake the crazy tree and attract the focus/attention/ire of the mentally unstable?

(and no not Republicans, dipshits; schizophrenics and the like)

Helical Nightmares posted:

One moderately serious question though.

A number of news sources have claimed that secret service or White House officials have documented more threats to Obama per day/per month than during other presidential administrations. There is of course a question as to the exact difference in magnitude or if the difference even really exists, but for the sake of the argument lets assume that the Obama administration has had more death threats per unit time than other administrations.

the population of the US is constantly growing. Assuming that the fraction of crazy fuckballs in the US population doesn't change, that means the number of people who would write death threats to the Prez is also increasing every year.

Best thing is how Hillary supporters created the birther movement during the nasty primary fight.

Helical Nightmares posted:

That is a really good point, so lets say in both the Obama and hypothetical Hillary administration the frequency of threats are normalized for respective population size.

There's little chance of a Republican beating Clinton. Barring some huge controversy, Hillary will be president for the next 8 years.
