    2016 DNC

    That's funny. Great speech by Michelle Obama last night. What a difference in tone compared to the speakers at the RNC. Michelle is VERY likeable. I think it's sincere too. Too bad she's not running instead of Trillary. However, insisting that America is great is a big shift from before where she was proud to be American "for the first time in her life". ...

    2016 DNC

    And I don't understand why people think that doing your own thinking, instead of letting the mob mentality of a political party do it for you, is a bad thing. The Rep/Dem duopoly has made it impossible for a 3rd-party candidate to win. So what choice is there other than going with one of the duopoly? Bloomberg was a Democrat, then a Republican, then an Independent. Does that mean he can't be trusted? Hell, even the Federalist papers warn about political partisanship being a danger to the republic. Thanks to the DNC shenanigans, they are manipulating a candidate into the nomination that has (IMO) less chance of defeating Trump than the guy they fucked over! I'm really thrilled at the meltdown of both parties. Was worried the dems were just in denial, but if both parties can be outraged at the crapfest going in their own parties, then there is hope they might find a way to fix it. if not, thrilled that the other parties will get a lot more attention - they should ...

  9. so..... no flamethrowers then? I guess to Billvon's point, the cop COULD have lobbed a bean bag over the counselor if he really wanted to hit the autistic guy EDIT: But....no ASSAULT beanbags.

  11. (good one) This is great - they could be trained and have allegiance to the military or the executive branch only. The president could send them out for any emergency such as someone using the wrong light bulbs, perhaps on the spot justice for any situation that polls poorly for their party. Just for any situation where the government decides we aren't acting straight - or even just to control those pesky dissidents and protestors and defective types. We could call them the "Police Corps Police" or "PC Police" for short. two thumbs up ...

    Replace "hardcore democrats" with the far extreme end of any group. Pro or Anti; gun, abortion, dolphin rights, comic books, whatever. My Little Pony . . .

    yeah - it felt like arguing with a room of hardcore democrats - step one little toe out of line, even if you agree with them 90%, even act like an independent thinker, and they start calling you names (note that Delegate, by definition are hard core partisans regardless of party - so not surprised) Feel free to reduce this to a mindless meme for the consumption of all the argue over politics is screwed up completely - I'm finding that the more passionate someone is about politics, the less seriously I can take them. Passion is supposed to be positive, but in politics it absolutely isn't. ...

    yeah - that one bugged me too. Trump should lead with something like "like my wife, I'd like to quote someone I admire. Go ahead and 'Vote your conscience'. Vote for me."

  15. I have to disagree with both of you - if he had a flamethrower, as you both are proposing, I'd still find the situation reprehensible. It's not the tool. edit: upon further reflection, if he had had an "assault banana", then actually, I'd be less upset about the results, but still upset over firing it......maybe part of it is the tool, still mostly upset at the cop. That said, autistic people likely don't appreciate being covered in fruit any more than anyone else. ...

  16. You don't. You get justice.What would you consider to be "justice" if you're dead? Stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of your life? Bankrupted by medical bills? Money can't fix everything. Often it barely helps if it arrives years after it is needed, at the end of a long lawsuit, and the lawyers take most of it. notice he said 'get justice', not 'get justice for the victim' I really don't think there is such a thing really, it's just a nice quote. Justice is about protecting all of us from predators. And in this case, idiots “And I’m saying, ‘Sir, why did you shoot me?’ and his words to me were, ‘I don’t know.’” the guy that was shot did everything right - the cops did everything wrong....everything ...

    Liberal criminal-loving Canadians! Down here they are guilty as soon as they are suspected of something. (Unless they are of the correct party; then it is a dishonest smear campaign.)

  22. Ditto - Minnesota (Dayton, Franken, Mondale, etc etc etc - I can vote for anyone and it won't matter in what will be a very lopsided result as far as president is concerned here - other offices, my vote does matter - at least for now.) but if my vote can get another philosophy (one that I agree with) on the national stage and in the debates for other citizens to hear and understand (correctly - not some bastardized false misconception that the current parties are pushing) - then even better. AND I don't vote for either despicable candidate and I do get to vote closer to my own beliefs. It's a win-win-win-win ...

  23. If these quotes were given to the writer directly my Melania (melana, malaina....whatever) - shouldn't she have been able to comment immediately on what happened? Oddly, it's a bit like what Yoink said should have happened in the first place.
