So hey, there's this [!!!ZOMG ELECTION!!!] thing going on...
Once upon a time, some guys turned a small body of water into the world's largest cup of tea, and now - long story short - some folks are running for president.
Somehow, this involves giant walls, email, and a movie about a Scandinavian girl with magic ice powers, because fuck, I don't even know anymore.
This thread has a two drink minimum. Discuss.
I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
Former Republican Governor of New Mexico, Libertarian Party candidate, crazy person.
The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

Still think thats the best tagline ever made.

So last night montel williams said trump and hillary are the same because they haven't talked about the vets and the care they need.
So not only a false equivalency but a false equivalency based on a false premise. Montel and msnbc pls.
Sometimes I wish there was a left leaninng network that didn't run terrible segments like this all the time.
Fusion's pretty good, and MSNBC used to be.
The only thing MSNBC is good for is giving Rachel Maddow airtime. And it really should just be 24 hours of her.
Chris Hayes is pretty good. Sometimes he has a Trumper on and he just gets the best wrf faces at everything they say. Also Last Word is alright, I appreciate Laurence's anger and lack of fucks to give. Oh and AM Joy is great
TV news is useless for non-breaking stuff. Cronkite managed to express about a page and a half of the New York Times level of information in half an hour. And most TV news isn't on par with Cronkite.

And nowadays things can break even faster on the internet. And even then, reading it is much faster. At this point, if I click a link and am taken to a video, I just hit back and look elsewhere.

Otherwise yeah the station is pretty meh.
I'm gonna check out Fusion and see how I like it
This is pretty much my list, too. Maddow, Kornachie or however it's spelled, Reid, O'Donnel and most of the time Hayes are pretty good. I used to like Chuck Todd, back when he was willing to do things like call the '08 race at 7 pm Eastern due to the numbers and not drag it out all night for drama, but he's pretty worthless nowadays.
I have to admit that I miss Olbermann every once in a while.

Yeah and the Internet allows easier access to primary sources other than video so you can make up your own mind rather than get it filtered

If people are opposed to the fabled and oft-cited threat of a "race war" breaking out then Trump is probably the worst candidate you could support as he has essentially promised to use state power to abuse minorities in every avenue it is possible to abuse them
but of course that means I await the inevitable polls showing a bump in his meager-ass favorables following these horrific events
Also probably some alt-right, reddit-mined image RT'd on Trump's Twitter that, as he will later defend vociferously, "definitely not a noose, who would think that's a noose, it can't be a noose, it's a lasso, you know, like cowboys, it's a lasso"
Not going to lie that statement is terrifying due especially to paragraph 2 mainly because I'm not sure I'd like how he'd want to go about restoring law and order to the streets.
Also, yeah, clearly written by not him.
But like nice try on using a tragedy to attempt to pivot DT.

Not sure? Trump favors brutality, no rights for non-law abiding citizens with that not being determined by the courts, and has repeatedly talked about how political correctness prevents the police from doing their job and how protesters would be beated in the good old days.

I kinda wanna mock something up and seed it now. Something like a "lasso" on a rustic western backdrop. A cross with some fire behind it. Text overlay that says "We must bring all enemies of our country to justice."
Prolly throw in an actual sheriff star for good measure since Donald is fond of them and to hammer home that this is about cowboy justice, not a lynching.

If I can withstand Brexit sober, I can read this thread sober!
I think if Trump had his way, the only person suitable for his cabinet would be Donald Trump
And I'm not talking Trump clones, Trump wouldn't tolerate such talkback, I'm saying he'd probably appoint himself* to everything
*Or totally spineless yesmen
This is taking too long.
Can I talk to the manager?
Great in the way Voldemort did great things
Hang on, let me get ready.
Heh, that's actually a pretty good great contrast between Trump, Voldemort, and what their vision of a utopia is.

Her rotating cast of fill-ins is pretty good, too. I'll happily watch them wherever they show up.
Otherwise, it's basically been going downhill since 2008.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

Trump's tweet is more about the vague horrors going on than anything else to me.
Also, yeah, clearly written by not him.

20% but only because I thought they already had the lineup.

At least this time he isn't saying he predicted it and why won't any give him credit for it?....Of course it's still early...
