Sometimes those are the best parts.
I hate myself as much as the next guy, but I don't have the kind of self-loathing that makes me consider that kind of IQ-lowering drivel a worthwhile use of my time.

Clearly you've never accidentally read a YouTube video comment on...anything, really.
Between the extreme SJW and the various extreme bigots and racists it makes everyone here look like we all belong in the same place, eating brunch on a Sunday after church and talking casually about the weather and did you see old Mr. Smith's daughter had a baby? Isn't that nice?
Maybe, maybe Lordgrim would be the town drunk wandering in and making a scene with wild, raving accusations about the government stealing his chickens.
Maybe.

You're making this too easy on me. If you can't see all the problems here, you've got blinders on.
Speeding or failing to signal is a violation of the law, but it is not CRIMINAL. That's the big distinction here.
Play semantics all you want, but this goes way beyond speeding or failing to signal. In any case, it's a glaring pock mark on her candidacy, and the mere fact that so many voters are willing to look past this and everything else shady that she's been involved in is somewhat sickening.
It's not all that bad. The dillusion is held together by a proactive and biased media that in lockstep project the curtain. The rest of the populace just cannot be bothered to pay attention beyond that. It's not quite as sickening as it is apathetic (which could be sickening as well).
Trump As has been demonstrated, doesn't play by those rules unlike other GoP candidates. So far that's netted him pretty big success. The media is no match for him as he attacks the lockstep media whenever they challenge him. If it boils down to Hillary and trump, trump will make sure everyone knows what his opponent did.
I can't wait.

I have said more than once that it is a really bad sign for a person seeking office to have such disregard for the best practices. But, criminal or not is NOT semantics. It's a very important distinction and anyone who claims to be against government overreach and oppression but conflates the two needs to do some reading or get their biases in check.

YouTube is best viewed with comments ignored. That's internet heresy man.
What would news stories (Yahoo in particular) and videos be without the comments? Sometimes those are the best parts. ^

If it boils down to Hillary and trump
If it boils down to those two I will be very disappointed. And bored.
If it boils down to Hillary, another GOP, and Trump as a third party though...
That will get me watching the nightly news/political programming, popcorn in hand.

Let's go a Bush, Trump, Clinton free for all.
I'll order a crate of popcorn now.

That's not necessarily true. Perot going 3rd party split the votes damn near equally. Down to the 10th of a percent.

Hillary - Jeb would be boring, if not extremely numbing.

If it boils down to Clinton/Bush/Trump or Sanders/Bush/Trump, then that is pretty obvious that Americans do not have the best interest of the nation in their minds, but instead would rather watch a good show than to have somebody actually lead this country.

I appreciate your high confidence in my attention span, but it's misplaced.

Any combination involving Trump makes that true, and I think we all already realize it's true. Look at the ***people watch en masse during non-election years. There's not much education, enlightenment, or well-written artistry to most prime time network viewing these days.

Except The Amazing Race. Because that show rocks!

Maybe. I don't understand why Lordgrim gets so much hate on this website. The guy makes some really good points and speaks the truth.

Rand Paul might as well drop out now and start shilling silver since his dad has the buy gold thing locked up.
In news: Bernie Sanders site has a 3 week backlog on orders.
Hillary Clinton is selling campaign tees for 30, polos for 55.

55 dollars for a polo you might as well get a Ralph Lauren one from Macy's at that price !

You pay a premium to be cool. And nothing says "cool" like a shirt supporting a washed-up politician.

Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.

Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
