Countdown to Extinction: The 2016 Presidential Election

[snyprrr]

If I were "Those Who Pull the Strings No Matter Who Wins",... well, if I were them, and I heard all this back and forth about how this one or that one were the anti-christ, well, I'd make suuure, oh so sure, that NO MATTER WHO WINS, I'd still stick it to you good and hard. If one of them tried to be a "good guy", and take it easy on you Americans, well well, I would just do some of that dreaded "fiscal fiddle fingers" and stir some shit up in the world economy... whatever it would take for you to ALL taste some sweet ass destruction in ONE HOUR. Oh, the looks on your faces when the market goes through the trap door and closes above it. Oh, the sound of hundreds of millions of fat and entitled Exceptionalists losing their shit at exactly the same moment. Oh how delicious to destroy your sports and entertainment addled, phone and texting soaked, Yahoo fed News Cycle gushy mushy excuse for a brain.

Oh yea, did I mention the soy lecithin?


"I happened into an Arby's. I was starving, there was nothing else. It seemed the least offensive choice. Behind the counter is a young suburban black girl. In front of me is what looks like Oafus Americanus Modernus, a 6'4", christmas tree shaped white dude with a shock of graying hair and a wee moustache, looking every inch the stereotype of Off Duty Donut Cop, only he was maybe 30 and had the demeanor of a GenY... GenZ?... IT nerd. I think I blocked out whatever fandom his t-shirt advertised.

So the girl asks him, 'Do you want to donate $1 to help hungry kids?'. He says no, but then at the end he- well, he must have been thinking about something, and he gave a dollar.

Now, I know that in these charity scams that you now get at just about every check out at any corporate business, the business will hold the receipts for some months, collect the interest, and then send off the monies,... or,... what not.

So, I'm looking at this guy, and now he just looks like someone I want to bitch slap. Are those the chubby fingers of a game playing keyboard warrior, I wondered. Rage is filling me as it dawns on me that this guy is somehow massively, on a micro scale, part of the problem. What guilt within him made him hand over the money? What in him didn't ask if this was legit? Would this guy even fight back? No matter, I've had to pummel big pussies before, for no other reason than to cripple them enough from being able to be seen in public.

"You know that all these cashier charity donations are held by the companies for their own profit before they're sent away?"

"That's ok." Is that the smug look of a white knight?

I repeat the line to her. Crane-nodding, she agrees, "Yea, I know they do that." I was hoping we could tag-team this guy, but I realized that maybe my blood sugar was low and that I should eat first. I passed a table from the Suburban Chainsaw Massacre and wondered how I got here. Where was Hillary?"

Its a real pity you're dumping all over this thread and subverting the conversation into having people comment on you and your sillyness rather than the news, because there are a great many intelligent voices on this forum who I'd like to hear discuss and debate these unfolding events.

[Mirror Image]

It's pretty bad when your own political party can't stand you. Sorry, Trump, but you should go home and put some more hairspray on that orange mop you call you hair and just give the election over the Hilary.

Hey, I can play this game all night!!

You and breitbart.com.

Go to school and learn what a news source is.  You'll thank me for it.  In time, there may even be a thinning of your herd of pet conspiracy theories.

     After a severe crash the electorate goes bonkers and it won't unbonkerize until we earn a normal recession. The economy is too weak to provide one. The weakest minds crack under pressure and grab the first conspiracy they see and following the usual pattern must universalize to infinity. All conspiracies are true by adoption, opponents are in on "it" by necessity. The fever will run its course not unlike the ebb and flow of terrorism. Junior loves the old man but thinks his obsessions are a little ridiculous, tied to a vanished world.

Frankenstein, [Susan Tyler] Hitchcock says, is usually applied to something that "seemed like it was a good idea to begin with that overwhelms and destroys its creator," something that "becomes more damaging than anyone first conceived."

But its application to Donald Trump, she believes, is unfair — to Frankenstein.

just skip, unless you have a yen for getting annoyed.

"When Donald Trump first announced his candidacy almost a year and a half ago, I kept expecting him to turn around and declare the whole thing a cruel joke at the expense of the Republican Party ... "

Old Man Bush Endorses Hillary

Yea, that guy.

I guess you'll all say that he "finally came around... he's not so bad after all?"

GREATER EVIL 2016

I guess you'll all say that he "finally came around... he's not so bad after all?"

I'll say, the man shows grace at a level to which you may unfortunately always remain a stranger:

[Karl Henning]

I post this, even though I realize it won't change anyone's mind.

Donald Trump is not just any run-of-the-mill, mostly secular politician feigning (poorly) religious literacy. He is inimical to virtually all the values that social conservatives claim to believe in — including the Golden Rule and "turn the other cheek." His immigration stance is an affront to many Christians. But don't take my word for it [....]

[drogulus]

 
    Trump has no standards to violate, not secular humanist, sham religious, nor religious. I think this goes well beyond brand identification or identity affiliation, it goes all the way down to a screaming id: Meeeeee!!

[zamyrabyrd]

I'll say, the man shows grace at a level to which you may unfortunately always remain a stranger:

"I wish you great happiness...never felt the loneliness..."
Sure, Billy-boy had a blast in the Oval Office.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
As for the Bushes, PLEASE read up on the family's history before praising him or their kith and kin. I spent a large part of the summer of 2014 doing just that.
They are anything but graceful. I am so sorry I voted for the last jerk, Dubya. Anyone who talked and acted like a cretin should have never gotten as far except for his family connections. The spoiler of Iraq (I also spent lots of time investigating the aftermath of spent uranium over there - incredible horror not only to innocent civilians but our troops, and for WHAT?) now is painting puppies! The fact that George Walker is supporting Hill, just shows how the TWO parties are in collusion with one another. An outsider to all that is definitely a boon.

I always, always liked George Bush Senior.

Did you know that he refused to agree to an invasion of Iraq following on from the liberation of Kuwait? The people who wanted that basically hung around until Bush Jr was in power.

All taken under advisement.  I stand by my assessments, both of the grace of that letter, and of our snypsss's apparent capacity

There was no racism before the current President?  Thanks, Obama.

Trump Jr: "Who knows if that's politically motivated or not, but our tax counsel, going through a 12,000-page tax return, has said they wouldn't advise us to [release the returns]. It could create all sorts of other problems. I'm going to listen to them on that...

What we want to do is keep the message on point... We've seen how viral that craziness goes. We want to keep on point"
