Countdown to Extinction: The 2016 Presidential Election

[snyprrr]

I'm going to have a talk with White People!!

[snyprrr]

Even Mexico has a border policy guys




For you to call "illegal aliens" "immigrants" is a slap to the face of anyone who came here legally.





"They were offended by someone's speech in their home country, so they wanted to come here where at least they knew that politically correct speech was enforced by GodHillary."









13th Amendment was never ratified by the states

     A sound border policy would be to let the people we want to employ in without making them illegal. Doing both is evil.

     How is "doing jobs no one else will do" not wanting the people who do the jobs here?

Is there a certain laydie running for orafice who has taken to wearing what could only be describe as Mao Chic?

Who dresses her as a Beverly Hills Prole?



Look... guys... that train is comin off the rails here, and seriously i have heard not one word from anyone here about even the slightest hint of a nook of a vision of impropriety by this  woman. Really? Even as the Faithful, CNN and MSMBC, have begun to ...uh..."notice" what can't be covered up by the rug anymore, the GMG Army 4 A New American Outlook have just, as they love to say these days, "doubled down" on not.saying.a.word. about the woman's downside. Oh, yes, I forgot... how can there be ANY downside to her as prez? Oh, silly me for even attempting to look for any any any criticism in the face of such a glowing hot orb of coronal worship.





So, you all saw the 1 Minute Press Conference on her plane? Oh noooo, she's not awkward in the slightest,...not intimidating in the slightest to the reporter asking the fluff question. No, her eyes don't say, "Ask me anything and I'll kill your whole family"?

Meanwhile...

Reuters cuts their live feed to CNN et al when TheLastTrump is at the black church getting all this praise praise praise





HO LO LO... nothing to see here...


OH- BTW-

You New York Times fans. Remember the other day when they had that pic of "migrants" in the water and the boat? Please please please tell me you still have it,... the physical copy. Please take another look at that photo and please tell me that wasn't PhotoShop on the front page of the most influential newspaper. Becasue everyone I showed it to could easily tell, all the random ass people I showed it to... and they got this funny look like, Really? The NYT??... and then the glaze glazed over their eyes and they said, "Go Yankees".

Do you mean this photo? (what's my prize for reading that far?  )

Now what evidence is there of this being 'shopped' in a way that changes the content? Hint: it being a good photo is not enough.

Not Photoshop, but if it turned out to be an artistically selected moment, I would not be surprised.  You will notice almost everyone is looking to the side where rescue lies.  They are not in immediate danger, given the water depth and the presence of rescue (note the man guiding the boat on the side is in calf deep water and his pants have Greek lettering).  Someone seems to be doing a back float on the side of the photo, although only a leg and sneaker are visible. Only one person is paying any attention to the photographer.  And he just happens to be almost dead center, as if picked out to be the focus point. One would think that in a true situation of danger or distress, at least a few of the people on the boat would be shouting at the photographer for some practical help.

But in confirmation of your larger point, here is something from that well known Communist propaganda outlet, the Wall Street Journal

One might say that all good photographs are 'artistically selected moments', except maybe studio still-lifes.

Everyone looking to rescue is not all that amazing. And really, they're on a tilted boat looking down, and trying to keep from falling over. As for the sneaker, I guess the person is also there to help, but has slipped over (slimy underwater rocks are rather slippery, you know). There seems to be some dodging and burning done around the two people holding to the boat, but somehow I doubt that many people care about that alone. The water is obviously very shallow, and the people in the boat aren't malnourished to an extent that would make them unable to stand or pull the boat, so I don't see why they would be in 'a true situation of danger or distress' having just got to safety. I also don't see anything surprising in the man at the head of the boat happening to look up (although I don't quite know what he is doing). The photographer probably took a good few where the man didn't look at the camera.

Like a true Communist propaganda outlet, they just say "To Read the Full Story, Subscribe or Sign In" to me.

Interesting. First time I went there, I could read the whole thing. Now I get the same thing you did.

Short version: Italy picked up about 7,000 people trying to cross from Libya last week. Or maybe 10,000.  Unless "nearly 10,000" is journalist talk for 6,900.

Support for a presidential candidate (or any sports team) is irrational. I give up. Why should I invite personal attacks? Both are flawed but in my opinion, one is far worse than the other. (Hint: the Lyin' Queen has a Planned Parenthood endorsement.)

The American political obsession with abortion is another thing incomprehensible to foreigners.

a kind of inverse moralizing

My question is: why did not a single one of the men in the boat (at least three of them are young and physically fit) jump in the obviously shallow waters to help the Greek rescuers pull the boat?

On a similar vein: why does not a single one of the men in this picture help in any way the overburden woman?

Perhaps they have been instructed not to do so. In any case, the men getting their clothes wet is more trouble than it's worth. For the same reason the women don't jump in the water, either...

The man behind her might be carrying her rucksack. It's also not inconceivable that she simply wants to carry her kids herself.

I find it obvious that abortion (like capital punishment) is an extremely (emotionally) charged topic and I think it is more puzzling that the compromises in most other countries (to my knowledge often rather similar to the legal situation in the US) do not spark more controversies. Admittedly, I do not quite follow that it is a topic overruling EVERY other policy a candidate might stand for but I can understand that it could tip the scales if one is moderately uncertain.

This might be good explanation.

Why? Do they wear Armani?

she simply wants to carry her kids herself.

You´re kidding, right? Just look at the expression of her face.

[North Star]

Why? Do they wear Armani?

Because water has a specific average heat capacity of 1 Cal/(°C⋅kg), and it's pretty damn effective in causing hypothermia.

[Herman]

unfortunately this is universal. Women are always carrying more than men, who are burdened with their, for lack of a better word, manliness.

Quite. I agree it's an emotionally charged topic, but only in the US does it seem to be a candidate-defining one.

Right. Greek shallow waters are famous for causing hypothermia. Just ask the guy on the left, the one with red short pants.
