    Speaking of fascists though, I've said this before and I'm sure I'll have to say it a fuckin bunch more times before I mercifully am allowed to die, if you've got the KKK and actual fucking Nazis in your corner, you are for sure on the wrong side.

    Man, my girlfriend's cousin posted some pictures on Facebook of some Klansmen handing out some kind of flyer in Rochester, Indiana. She's married to an immigrant from Mexico and it's super alarming to have such visible hate essentially in their back yard.

    The klan has had a strong presence in Indiana for over a hundred years, actually. In the 1920's Indiana had the largest number of klansmen out of any state, in fact.

    Oh dude I know, it's a crazy hotbed of Klan activity to this day.

    I remember back in high school, driving to look at a used car in Knox and passing a giant plywood sign stating "NO JUSTICE IN KNOX" that was related to some Klan activity.

    So, a new Clinton ad targets Trump by showing all his clothing lines are outsourced to other countries.

    Meanwhile he hired the British marketing firm Cambridge Analytica who ran the pro-Brexit ads in the country by largely appealing to nationalism, anti-immigration, and racism.

    Once again, he Makes America Great Again by.... not hiring Americans and taking jobs he could create here out of the country. Huh. Something doesn't add up.

    Go look up the Dreyfus Affair and the Framing of the Mata Hari.

    These fuckers, these revanchists? They're always traitors. That's what a fascist is. Someone who believes, so completely and utterly, that their secret name is [National Personage], that they then immediately betray [National Personage] to their enemies and then sputter on about how it's the MUSLIMS, THE MUSLIMS WHO ARE DESTROYING AMERICA!!!!!! Take that, add ephemeral gain and the grandeur of a lost golden age, and you get a nazi. Jefferson would have been a Nazi, but Virginia had no glorious past to lose itself in, so he had to be a patriot instead.

    No Bucketman, the word is fascist. Your ex and her friend are fascists. They are not human anymore, you have no obligation to fix them. Sever and euth.

    I don't know if you're unable to handle your high or what but you need to keep your shit together if you're going to keep posting here.

    It's true that person hasn't made a single post here that wasn't barely relevant rambling.
    I dunno, the phrasing is pretty exaggerated and overblown but I thought his core arguments were sufficiently agreeable: :)
    A) "True patriots just trying to do everything they can to save good ol' [X]" groupings or factions will always fuck shit up.
    B) Relatives or "friends" that can't keep from harping on various toxic conspiracy/faith-level beliefs, and on top of that treat facts or sources of reference like ebola infection, can't be argued with. You should simply make better use of your time, and sanity, by just staying the hell away.

    I think proposing euthanasia is a little more than overblown, my duder.

    But trump, can't you just beat the media into submission with your sheer incredible brilliance? Isn't that the entire point of a strongman?

    Trump sees himself as Hercules Q. Underdog, invincible champion who will crush his enemies' skulls with his bare hands just as soon as they stop being mean to him all the time.

    Well he probably will murder his family and blame it on a woman in power if he loses

    Trump to Propose Moratorium on New Financial Regulations

    In a speech Monday in Detroit, the Republican presidential nominee will also call for a repeal of the estate tax.

    Look at this great friend of the working class.

    And of course, for the regular people:
    Trump will also propose a repeal of the estate tax, sometimes called the “death tax.” Under current law, the 40 percent tax applies only to estates larger than $5.45 million for individuals and $10.9 million for couples.

  • honoverehonovere Registered User regular
    Isn't it refreshing that a candidate doesn't get his tax plans dictated by Wall Street? Instead we get tax plans that benefit every regular old Steve.

    Also Trump clearly cares for his family as most of these plans would benefit them directly.

    I'll cut Trump some slack though. He probably heard that Steve Jobs was quite succesful and popular, so he's creating more of them.

    Someone probably already made that joke, right?

    I feel like this is too-little-too-late to recover any kind of real numbers in polling after Trump's last few weeks of temper tantrums and verbal diarrhea.

    Do Trump's supporters really care though?

    I will say the Trump supporters on my Facebook have been super-duper quiet over the past week or so. I think I've maybe seen one post defending him, which is a huge contrast from just 3 weeks ago when I had about 6 people who I was going to unfriend just to stop seeing the crap.

    I was thinking more of the people that have recently left his side of the fence and are just meandering around instead of switching; they don't want to commit to a D-vote, but they really can't stomach the idea of Trump in the White House. Even if Gigantor-Oompa-Loompa had a concrete budget plan created by the finest economists available, those recent departees would still hesitate because the man himself is so reprehensible.

    And incoherent, let's not forget that.

    Oh, and the Bigot King. It's like being the Burger King, but instead of surprising you with fatty foods, he surprises you with minority bashing and the constant threat of being bored enough to start a nuclear holocaust.

    Trump needs to keep digging this hole.

    I want to see a fist fight between him and Pence during a televised rally. Show people what a STRONG MAN he is.

    Since Trump has such small hands, his tiny fists should give him an advantage to slip through his opponent's defenses; unfortunately for Trump, he has to stop squinting to actually see which opponent he should be attacking.

    His tiny hands focus the momentum into a much smaller area. Just like Ant-Man, but just for his hands.

    Even a high instance of pounds-of-pressure-per-square-inch is negated by the lubrication of his spray-on tan. I'm not even going to try and calculate the wind resistance of his toupee.

    I predict Trump v. Pence will end in the first round.

    Sad!

    I got asked by loads of people at GenCon what I thought of Trump, as a Brit

    And I just told them that in the UK, a trump is a fart, and this was an accurate description. And nobody knows that! Nobody knows that trumping is farting!

    They thought it was pretty funny though. You guys should promote that as slang.
