Have we posted yet that the Editor in Chief of Christianity Today wrote an editorial basically saying if you vote for Trump you're a bad Christian?
That's a bit more than it said, but it definitely did call out anyone still defending or endorsing Trump as a bad Christian.
Yeah, it said a bunch more than that. I actually read the whole thing. I vehemently disagree with probably 80% of what the guy said, but it was actually reasonably well written. I especially like this line:
But there is a point at which strategy becomes its own form of idolatry—an attempt to manipulate the levers of history in favor of the causes we support.
I've always found the alpha beta whatever bullshit stupid, but man Trump and Billy yeah textbook alphas those two.
you know it's possible to be rich and powerful without being an asshole
Consider Mark Cuban and Warren Buffett, both of whom love to poke Trump about what actually being rich looks like.
As someone who lives in Dallas, Cuban is still kind of an asshole.
Cuban is an asshole, I expect billionares to be assholes, but he more or less lives on planet earth in 2016 and Trump lives in a crazy alex jones alt universe

He also more or less wants Good Things (tm) to happen to people. All people. Not always at his expense mind you, but generally good. This is not a statement I would make about Trump.

With regards to the odd vote from some women, I remember seeing something on Full Frontal where a woman said some things are impossible for woman to do. It was a thing.
Mark Cuban's done more charitable good with his money than probably the entirety of this forum will ever do in our lifetimes, so I don't really care if he's sometimes an asshole.
As a white male, White Male Privilege is incredibly pervasive. Even if you don't like it, even if you don't want it, it shapes your life and way of thinking. It's only recently that I have come to the (deeply disturbing) realization that probably every adult woman I have ever met has had to deal with significant sexual harassment, and I consider myself pretty bleeding-heart liberal.
Sure, we may have chased out literally every single non-white person in the post-Civil War days and had some hilarious batshit racist laws that would make even Southerner plantation owners blanch, but nowadays, we're pretty liberal!*

Most counties in Oregon are red, but the population in Oregon is concentrated in the Portland Metro (solidly democrat), Salem, Bend and Eugene. Salem is more conservative than Portland, but still solidly democrat. Bend is eastern Oregon, I honestly don't know how they lean I'd have to look it up. Eugene is a college town,
On BBC World News today they were talking to a couple in Pennsylvania where the husband was planning on voting for Trump and the wife was planning on voting for Hillary.
Man: "Hillary plays the woman card all the time!"
Woman: "No she doesn't."
Man: "She does, you just can't see it because you're a woman!"
Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile did not, as a series of media outlets reported, leak questions to Hillary Clinton before a CNN town hall in March, a top Democratic official said on Tuesday.
The reports emerged on Tuesday when some observers digging through the recent WikiLeaks release of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta's leaked emails noticed similarities between a private email sent from the then-CNN contributor and DNC vice chair to Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri saying that she " gets questions in advance" a day before a CNN town hall debate.
In the email to Palmieri, Brazile flagged a question she received from CNN about the death penalty in the body of an email to Palmieri titled "from time to time I get the questions in advance."
"Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have banned the death penalty. Thirty-one states, including Ohio, still have the death penalty. According to the National Coalition To Abolish The Death Penalty, since 1973, 156 people have been executed on death row and later set free. Since 1976, 1,414 people have been executed in the US. That's 11% of Americans who were sentenced to die, but later exonerated and freed. Ohio and 30 other states should join the current list and abolish the death penalty."
Palmieri appeared to take Brazile's email as a request for talking points, saying that "not everyone likes her answer, but I can share it," CCing a staffer asking to send over Clinton's previous answer on death penalty questions.
At a town hall event a day later, exonerated death row inmate Ricky Johnson posed a question for Clinton about her stance on the death penalty.
"I came perilously close to my own execution, and in light of that, what I have just shared with you and in light of the fact that there are documented cases of innocent people who have been executed in our country, I would like to know how can you still take your stance on the death penalty in light of what we know right now.
Multiple news outlets, including Politico, BuzzFeed, and Mediaite reported that the exchange signaled that Brazile had knowledge of the March 13 town hall question in advance, tipping off the Clinton campaign.
However, according to a top Democratic Party source familiar with the exchange, Brazile's emails were not referencing a question at the town hall. Instead, the question Brazile forwarded on to Palmieri was a topic for conversation on a panel that Brazile was to set to appear on.
The source also said that Brazile was in regular contact throughout the primary with both Democratic primary campaigns, communicating with former Sen. Bernie Sanders senior strategist Tad Devine, who worked with Brazile on the Vice President Al Gore's 2000 campaign.
CNN also confirmed that it never reveals town hall questions in advance.
"We have never, ever given a town hall question to anyone beforehand," CNN vice president of communications Barbara Levin said in an email on Tuesday.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, Brazile also denied leaking questions.
"I often shared my thoughts with each and every campaign, and any suggestions that indicate otherwise are completely untrue," Brazile said. " Inever had access to questions and would never have shared them with the candidates if I did."
The latest round of Wikileaks emails are the result of what the Obama administration has deemed hacks by Russian-aligned groups attempting to sew further chaos in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Released in August, the first batch of DNC emails showed some top-level staffers complaining internally about Sanders, resulting in a leadership shakeup that resulted in Brazile's appointment following former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz's resignation.

UHN recently secured malpractice insurance to cover Americans. “We would estimate that including Americans in UHN’s International Patient Program would double Program revenues within two years,” UHN president Robert Bell wrote in a report to the board of trustees in October.
It's not particularly common, because we'd still charge you anyways as foreign patients. Also, we're a small nation, so our level of specialization is lower; our health care system is subject to a higher level of government regulation, which eliminates a lot of the fringe treatments that exist in the US that attract Canadian patients; and we actively try to prevent it.

It was speaking to the socialistic aspect of it, so this isn't entirely relevant to that point. It also doesn't exactly speak to, you know, Americans it seems in that article. The closest thing in either of them is “We know that every year several hundred thousand Americans travel outside of America and spend billions of dollars on their health care." That's not specifically Canada. It says about making services better for Americans, but nothing about them actually making it a destination for Americans.
So, in essence, my point kind of stands? I don't entirely understand the reply.
