Rhesus Pieces posted:Well that "Trans leftist bank robber" theory didn't last very long. He knows that his supporters will take whatever he says as gospel without any further verification. It's been his MO for his entire political career. I mean, this is the guy who hosed up the lesson of a book intended for kindergarteners. Mozi posted:“If you’re a xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot, you’re going to have a hard time being president of the United States, and you’re going to do irreparable damage to the party.” - Linsdey Graham So now that we know how Lindsay feels about one party, what does he have to say about the Republicans?

Mr Interweb posted:Don't conservatives say that birth control pills are abortificents? I swear I heard someone like Santorum say that. And many others as well. That is the main part of the issue. Note that he only brought up condoms while he was going on his rant about nobody wanting to ban contraceptives. He didn't straight up mention birth control pills for exactly this reason.

Reality's liberal bias strikes again. haveblue posted:Soon we will reach the mass shooting event horizon where mass shootings are so frequent they overlap with each other and we have continuous, endless mass shooting all across america forever Scientists refer to this as the homicingularity. zoux posted:Here's some good news: seven page private strategy memo on how the party would deal with Trump as the nominee just leaked. I like that when they state they have similar plans for other candidates it reads less like "this isn't a big deal" and more like "we're going to be making GBS threads ourselves if an establishment candidate can't win the nomination." Fried Chicken posted:So we missed it yesterday by Alan Grayson's senate campaign hit a rough patch - the campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, and senior adviser all left the campaign I feel bad for Alan Grayson. It must be tough when you get crazied out of the news cycle by pretty much all of the GOP nominees. Slate Action posted:Is there an event could happen that would lead to some kind of gun control legislation being implemented (even something relatively minor like mental health screening as part of background checks)? Or are we now 100% immune to any mass shooting event of any severity changing the status quo? Funniest post I've seen on the forums.

EXTREME INSERTION posted:So it's legal for someone to buy an apartment full of weapons and ammo for personal reasons and not be on any kind of list. Super Even better: there is no restrictions for people on terrorist watch lists from buying guns. More like the US of NRA. Joementum posted:The Saturday edition of the New York Times will feature this editorial on gun violence on the front page. It is the first time the paper has run an editorial on the front page since 1920. Huh. Funny that NYT is the first paper to endorse Hilary Clinton.

T. Bombastus posted:Good stuff. Does Trump have any policy positions that don't boil down to "I'm great, so it would be great"? All the moderate Republicans in my life cling to the belief that they're the party of hard-headed realism and intellectual rigor; I wonder who they're voting for in the primary? He did say he wants to go "one step further than water boarding" if he was president. Seems pretty extreme but based on studies a drowned body would yield just about as much actionable intel as someone who is being water boarded. Luigi Thirty posted:http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/12/04/theyre-coming-here-kill-us-pirro-geraldo-spar-guns-radical-islam It's pretty great when you find an article so openly persecuting a religion that you could switch it to Christianity and make the authors name Pontus Pilate and it would still make perfect historical sense or the slightly less effective but more contemporary Godwin version. And by "pretty great" I mean suicidally depressing, of course. FlamingLiberal posted:Erick Son of Erick is a literal child True, but the fact that he wrote an editorial about how he is scared to see the new Star Wars because he is afraid the theater will get attacked by ISIS then pulls this stunt makes him one of the more entertaining right wing personalities. DemeaninDemon posted:Bernouts would be mad that full communism now wasn't full or now enough. So you are saying that between Full Communism Now and Accelerationism that the truth is... in the middle?

quote:The death toll from jihadist terrorism on American soil since the Sept. 11 attacks — 45 people — is about the same as the 48 killed in terrorist attacks motivated by white supremacist and other right-wing extremist ideologies, according to New America, a research organization in Washington. The Great Satan maintains a slight lead, but can they hang on going into the playoffs?

DaveWoo posted:I wonder how far back you have to go in American history to find another example of a presidential frontrunner openly espousing rhetoric as vicious and hateful as the sort of stuff Trump is saying now. Any historical exports want to weigh in here? I'd posit that Joe Lieberman's 2000 campaign came pretty close but he still wasn't quite as open about it. The thing about Trump's rhetoric is that it is like doping in baseball in the 90's. There is a gentleman's agreement that nobody will do it because anyone who does will obviously gain a massive advantage over everyone else. So the only time anyone gets upset about it is when you have enough proof to show that the doping is why a certain person is so far ahead of everyone else. So that is my sports analogy.

Joementum posted:And Roberts spent most of his time today asking when it's all going to end, apparently. Dude is very eager for Post Racial America. According to his comments after gutting the CRA, racism in this country was ended when Obama was elected president. He's probably just angry that the rest of the country hasn't seemed to realize that yet.

I would say Trumps top 2 nominees for SCOTUS would be Carl Icahn and Gary Busey. Maybe Omarosa if he was seeking progressive cred.

JT Jag posted:Then if you wanna have integrity as a journalist, show something that proves they are lying without outright calling them a liar, and then ask them to explain themselves. It has a lot to do with what is considered a "gotcha question". In the past it was a question where either answer would make someone look bad. Now the definition has been twisted to be when someone in the media asks a question, knows how the candidate will respond and has a pre-prepared rebuttal. Then the journalist is called out on it because the only reason to say a republican is wrong about something is if you are a liberal. Thus the sides are drawn.

Find your safe space and check your privilege because David Brock is on the case about the super-secret micro-aggression Trump was throwing down: Judging from a truncated URL I figured David Brooks wrote this because I have no idea who the gently caress David Brock is and was fairly confused.
