Wow, that article. Democrats have failed so utterly in their service to the common man and become so out of touch that they're actually admitting it. "Yeah, gently caress you, we rigged the primaries. But that's our right."

That's endgame IDpol, though. "gently caress you, we know better". And they knew better so hard that Donald Johnald Trump became the president of the united states.

The dude isn't smart, but he has a low animal cunning, for sure. You have to acknowledge that his managing to outplay Hillary, who really should have known better, shows that you shouldn't take him lightly. Everyone's so hesitant to give the guy praise for fear that they'll sound like they like him, but if you don't acknowledge that he managed to snake the presidency out from under the entire establishment because they sassed him at a dinner party, then you deserve it when that little orange goblin bites your fingers off.

He pulled similar numbers as Romney, Democrats stayed home. It's Hillary's fault she lost

Which is to say, Hillary played herself


Oh, no doubt. A potted plant could have won against Hillary's campaign, but don't forget that he basically ran away with the republican nomination, too. Out of spite. The dude didn't just wrest the presidency form her, he wrested it from the rest of the Republican party who had tons of others who had politically groomed for decades for their shot at nomination AND her. Out of spite. I don't think a bear is particularly smart or witty but I'll avoid the hell out of it all the same.

If wrote intelligence was all it took to play politics, you'd see a lot of different faces in power.

I wouldn't call Trump witty. His constant petty attacks sounded like a kid arguing with middle school classmates. He has nothing meaningful to say, and it's impossible to engage against that for the same reasons you don't argue with an eight year old

Yeah, but all the cool clever speakers are dead. Given the time money and resources necessary, I'm willing to bet an actual orange clown could become president.

when is the last time you think Bill ever touched Hillary in a sexual way? i bet more than 2 decades

She sees herself in the mirror, clothed in the dim sodium lamplight boring into the dark of her bedroom. Bill is snoring, and though she is tired, she cannot sleep. When she closes her eyes she sees herself as she is in the mirror, and so she is here at the actual mirror, staring at the little imperfections that age had accumulated on and within her. The little weaknesses, the bitter droop of her breasts, the bags under her eyes that had sunk low under the pressure of the campaign. She had been a woman once, and whole- but that was long ago, and now she was a icon. Stainless and clothed in glory, a saint pitted against a leering orange imp for whom there could be spared no concern.

And tomorrow, the eighth, her transfiguration would be complete. And Bill, thoughtless Bill, faithless Bill... perhaps now that it was her turn, he would see. Yes, he would see. And when he understood, he would grab HER by the pussy, and all at last, would be well. She'd make him do it. She'd be a star.

And so she went to bed, to dream of the prophesy's fulfillment, and sublime rest came over her.

"Kneel," said her second head, in the Language of Command that all men obey.

He strained to move, cried out with the effort of it, but his body obeyed as it always did when she unleashed the ancient abyssal tongues upon them.

"Speak again of your criticisms of us" She said, in the merciful thousand-voiced wail. A tendril rose and pushed itself cleanly into his forehead, forcing the young man's gaze right up to hers. Tears spilled from his eyes, while blood wept in silent lines down his nose.

"It's just- you see, my lord, I--"

"We will not hear your bleating, filth of Adam. Unto our altar were you brought, and under our throne shall you serve. Like the potter's clay, you are molded to our will alone. If it is so easy for you to harbor dominion over your kinflesh, then we command you. Speak."

His mouth began to shriek, finally winning free of his mind and sanity. He gibbered then like the voices in his dreams, matching their swelling tide as his feverish mind recalled them. Mook. Podesta. The debate coaches and staff. Calling out into an uncaring void the name of HER, like a chorus of mutilated children, like the cries of an animal boiled alive. Insanity is God's final mercy, and though he had long since abandoned his children, the young man was grateful to the Almighty Father as the wild darkness took him. His vision slid apart while his eyes rolled in two different directions, and granted him precious darkness.

Beyond the veil of the altar, behind the podium, Hillary sat in repose, hideous appendages crossed.

"Wrong." she said. "Do it better."

I believe that the expense of united states Healthcare has inadvertently helped fund research into new medicine, equipment and techniques that have benefited the whole world and made Healthcare cheaper in parts of the world where research and development aren't financially feasible.

I also believe that if anything bad ever happens to me I will never, ever escape my debt and I will die in the streets. I want real universal health care before my life is literally ended by a car crash or a cat scratch or plain bad luck or something.

I am grateful. There's hardly a better place in the world to go if you want cutting edge care, and there are a lot of things medicine can do for me here that would be difficult or even totally impossible in other parts of the world. I just wish it didn't cost so much.

Blue Train posted:

Medical research actually receives a lot of federal funding hth

It does, which is good! But the extra funds our Healthcare model generates does put money toward R&D that the rest of the world can share in. Not all of the money goes there, obviously, there are pockets to be lined after all. I'll see if I can't find the article I read where some Canadian medical researcher was talking about the way America's Healthcare model makes Healthcare cheaper in other parts of the world.


Now that's not an endorsement of our current system. Just a small silver lining. I would much rather see real universal Healthcare and increased federal funding for medical research, but as long as I'm wishing, I'd like a jet pack and a private island. UHC seems way more attainable, thankfully.

-use money saved to construct giant pyramid in the Hamptons as mortuary complex for hillary
-upon Hillary's death, loyal democratic party members will be given the honor of being entombed alive with Her so that they may serve in the next life

The spell, which praises the pharaoh as living incarnation of the crocodile god, reads:

"Hillary is Sobek, green of plumage, with alert face and raised fore, the splashing one who came from the thigh and tail of the great goddess in the sunlight ... Hillary has appeared as Sobek, Neith's son. Hillary will eat with her mouth, Hillary will urinate and Hillary will copulate with her penis.

I looked at that logo and I said "That is literally 9/11. A red arrow flying into two high straight structures."

Hillary didn't just manage to gently caress up. She tried to get me to buy into her campaign with a logo depicting, for a lot of Americans, the worst terror attack in the history of their lives.

I legit want a lady president soon, because we should break those boundaries down, but there must be a candidate with quality. Merely settling for just anyone, including someone as crooked as hillary clinton, is not acceptable. Sorry to the affluent baby boomer 2nd wave feminists who were ready to settle for whoever came along, but settling for a lovely president for a symbolic victory is completely stupid and insane.

When the gay flag is reversed, it represents the taking on of a burden, rather than being freed from one as the upright flag suggests. Of course, it's place in the drawing provides context for this burden, and so the prediction in this picture is rather hard to determine without knowing what other major/minor arcana might have come up for Trump.

MAN: He sure did. Crafty orange bastard. He had us all fooled, right to the end.

BARTENDER: Yeah, I s'pose. He ain't gonna do anything to us the last coupla guys wouldn't have. How'bout you, though? How are you feeling?

MAN: Hey, Mike, don't you go worrying about me. I have things figured out ok, and besides, I have a huge loving penis.

BARTENDER: A huge loving penis?

MAN: Yeah, its huge. Want to see it?

BARTENDER: Nah. I promised Laney I'd cut it out. I'm not in the penis game no more.

MAN: Well if you ever wanna see it, you just ask. It's huge.

BARTENDER: Well hell, maybe some other time. Can I get you one more before you go?

MAN: Well, alright,

*The man turns around, and his penis unspools- it is upsetting and huge, flopping around with the natural dignity of a king, or winged Pegasus, who bore great heroes to their destined course. He is aged, but noble and in his eyes glimmers a splinter of hope, a broken prism dashed across the starscape of his peaceful gaze, but not beyond hope of refraction. His penis is really loving big and it knocks over several glasses as he turns.*

Ultimately, James won in the end by not even responding to the people who attacked him. People did hit pieces on him and I know a few people who weren't familiar with him who didn't watch the video all the way through and thought he was a sexist because various news articles said so.

Say whatever else you want about the guy, the dude can navigate the waters of scandal with a steady hand. It's not everyone who's so devoted to his craft that he shrugs off people who go for the throat like that- I mean, these are the same people who broke jontron and any number other impious minor celebs. They can get nasty and loud. But ol James is here for the movies and the movies alone, and I really respect that. It's a trait that I frankly envy.
