I was thinking that very thing last night after my 66 year old Republican brother, who is smart enough to be never-Trump, announced none of the four would get his vote. He is ignoring it all, claiming ignorance is bliss. Probably planning to write in Kasich. Anyway, I was thinking about how he doesn’t give a damn about the planet, the country, or even his own grandchildren with that attitude. Between him and the younger family members going for Stein, I’m just slowly giving up, thinking they get what they deserve, but unlike you, my life depends on the ACA, and I’m unlikely to ever be able to work again, much less add to my insubstantial retirement or increase my SS payment that I’m being forced to take a decade early. My stress over this election knows no bounds at this point.
Some people are saying Donnie is already planning to use his foundation money for a new Statue of Liberty, modeled, of course, on Donnie.
I think Bernstein was thinking out loud but I would be very impressed if Bill Weld did drop out and campaign for Hillary. He has always struck me as a reasonable patriot.
It’s time for people to forsake party and come to the rescue of the Republic. I hope sand Republicans heard Rnc pr bs loud and clear. They are not welcome if they don’t swear loyalty to trump. Their best hope for a political future is to denounce trump, make him lose in a landslide and kick priebus to the curb.
Paul Ryan, you are young. Millennialist will NEVER vote for you if you continue down this path…
Rinse has long since maxed out his credibility card.
So… I’m never sleeping again… I’m guessing this will be inscribed with, “Give us only the good ones… The pouting “models”… The ones who will bring things to us and not expect any rights”
Even though I am brown, I am similarly situated. I have lived a good life and have the ability to place myself in a location (probably in South America) in which my physical appearance does not deviate.
My grief, however, involves members of my own family who will suffer genocide.
It is inconceivable (but true) that the dictums of social science ring true as they have throughout history. Big Money. Big propaganda. Big racism. Big stupid.
And big Sanders-like Perfect-the-enemy-of-the-good on the Left.
I still believe that we can and will prevail. But not by rolling over. The Republican voters, although temperamentally less compassionate than Democrats, have more of a “winning” mentality. This is why (as I have said before) I am attracted to this site. I especially like the aggressive optimism of Davey. I remember a saxophonist I once played with years ago…I was asking him about street fighting that sometimes occurs in nightclubs we used to play in. The saxman said that he was a fighter…
That even if he went down HE WOULD BE FALLING FORWARD “comin’ at 'cha” on the way down.
Fuck Sanders. If he doesn’t want to clue the Millennials to wean themselves away from Johnson, then we do it for him
Fuck the NYT and the MSM. EVERY DEMOCRAT with a platform should be calling out these fuckers…If I read another, “Sadly, the MSM won’t call Trump out…” TPM post here I probably WILL get flagged.
Israel has done an unbelievable job and they will profile…
Yes, we should model our society on that of Israel, that supreme champion of civil liberties.
But now there’s hundreds of thousands AND they have massive bombs strapped to there backs…
Especially when they’re busy dealing with a seventh attack in four days.
But that’s their fault, of course. Which means the attacks in this country are just our fault, too.
I wonder if donnie could use his tiny fingers to count how much it would cost to implement his flavor of Israeli type profiling in a country of 300+ million people…
When compared to their obsession with money, they chuckle.
Trump’s method is to invoke an absurd caricature of a scary terrorist and then play into gullible peoples’ fear of the scary terrorist. Of course, most of us know it’s ridiculous and solves nothing, but he’s painted a vivid picture. Many stupid people don’t read and learn by absorbing pictures. They are convinced.
ETA: News producers will tell you that TV news is produced for people who don’t read. Think of the tens of millions of people who haven’t read a book since high school, swallow every foul word Rush Limbaugh says and religiously watch FOX which is geared toward illiterates. This is who believes Trump.
Sorry I should have said in the modern era.
No worries, wasn’t dissing you, just pointing out that “bombings” in the US have been going on for a while…
And in other news, our local CBS affiliate, KHOU, reports that the FBI has arrested a Houston man for acquiring explosives for the purpose of maiming or killing others. His name is Gary Lee Ogborn. So, yeah, profiling.

If there was Trump style profiling he’d have to divest his own business interests.

Profiling is just the part of his plan he can discuss publicly. His “secret plan” to defeat terrorism is to use nuclear weapons. Before you dismiss that as a conspiracy theory, you should read the evidence for yourself: http://www.citizenzzero.com/single-post/2016/09/18/I-Know-Trumps-Secret-Plan-to-End-Terrorism-It-Should-Be-the-Only-Issue-In-This-Campaign
As far as i can tell, if you’re white it’s not terrorism. It’s only terrorism if you’re brown. This is how you are able to profile a terrorist. Just look for anyone brown, with a funny name and get rid of them. Because all brown people are terrorist…at least that’s what i learned on my trip to AZ listening to my FOX watching, Trump loving Idiotic family members.
Dont worry, the IRS audits and sends all metadata to the FBI for anyone who isnt a leftist these days.
