Posted August 28, 2016 Fish I hear ya. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but it's too soon to shoot the bastards." I'm a libertarian and I would vote that way....but we nominated the dorkiest non-libertarian asshole we could find to run for us. Now, I can't even vote libertarian. Just not going to vote. Fuck 'em all. Two books to get you through this tough time: 1st. Be at peace with yourself and the world. Reject governance. 2nd. If you feel you must do something...... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 28, 2016 When Ali died there were white people calling him a hero, a lot of his actions weren't dissimilar from Kapernicks. What seems disrespectful now could in the future be viewed as taking a stand. Die hard Clinton or Trump fans would likely proudly not stand for out national anthem if one or the other was elected. We all love America's freedoms and patriotism isn't an obligation. USA! USA! USA! Every election year is pretty ugly and this is obviously no exception. I think the most foolish thing anyone can do is not vote. There is strength in numbers and if every eligible voter voted and there was no voter suppression we would have drastically different results. Can I make very honest and from a nice place suggestion? These think pieces of yours lack cohesiveness, you makes lots of unrelated points in one post. If you're actually wanting to start and participate in a discussion it helps if you stick to one topic. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only hope for this country and it's future, is that whoever (whomever?) is elected is that they don't screw it up more than it is now. That's my rant, for now.

Have you read Nick Offerman's books? They're not political but they are enlightening. The phrase "man's man" is maybe a little broad and possibly offensive but Offerman is a man's man, he will teach you how to build and then paddle your own canoe. You may know him as TVs Ron Swason on Parks and Rec? Meat eating, gold hoarding, libertarian Ron Swanson. He's also married to the fan-fucking-tastic Megan Mullally and has great relationship suggestions, (pro tip-make homemade cards). Comedians always have the best insight on life and couple that with their self deprecation you have honest and insightful writing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 28, 2016 "My guess if Trump gets elected the US will go to war within 6 months probably with North Korea." History may not exactly repeat itself, but it rhymes like crazy. Take a look at the current geopolitical environment, the little brushfires everywhere, the posturing by ALL countries over the South China Sea, Ukraine, Crimea, the Middle East. Turkey may leave NATO. WTF??? China is doing fake combat flybys over Japanese and US ships. Russia is doing the same with UK/US forces in the Baltic. Iran is poking us in the Gulf. They are checking to see how we respond. Now, go back and study the 30s. Mark my words....war is coming. Regardless of who is President. A word to the wise should be sufficient. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 28, 2016 Every election since Nixon-McGovern I tell myself the choice next time cannot possibly get any worse. Then, like clockwork, every four years it does. This one tops the charts, but somehow history shows there is worse on the horizon unless we dump the current one party system that claims to be two and get a party or two going that ACTUALLY MEAN WHAT THEY SAY - even if I do not agree with everything. Just meaning it would be a major improvement!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 28, 2016 I am extremely concerned that we are faced with picking the lesser of two evils in this election. Until we start realize the power we hold and force a change it will remain a disaster. Such mud slinging and avoidance of real issues. Disappointing we don't hold them to higher standards. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2016 Has anyone here ever seen the TV show scandal?? That's what this kinda reminds me of. While it's billed as Fiction, I think there is also alot of fact. The president, the pope, the queen, the prime ministers.. they are all just figure heads who supposedly hold great power but actually hold very little power. While we are fixed on Hilary and Donald, what is going on in the house? What is going on in the Senate? Nobody worries about what goes on in the house or the Senate and they like it that way. POTUS, while billed as possibly the most important and powerful position in the world, has actually very little power other than executive actions. And even that is subject to scrutiny. To me, this is all a smokescreen they keep feeding. While we are all blinded by the smokescreen, we are not paying attention to everything else that's going on around us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such mud slinging and avoidance of real issues. Disappointing we don't hold them to higher standards. IMHO, the two prime candidates are equally evil, just in different ways. One of them, however, is more likely to be held in check by his party. The other will be enabled by her's. The mudslinging is just a measure of their character. 27 minutes ago, Laci French-2940 said: ... Until we start realize the power we hold and force a change it will remain a disaster. ... Trump is in the race because of that power. People have been complaining to those in power about his major issues (immigration, taxes, jobs, etc.) for years. But nobody listened. There were warnings - the Tea Party for example. But they got shuffled to the side. So folks threw a tantrum! Clinton's answer seems to be if they don't have a job, give them free stuff. She'll squeeze the golden geese (rich folks, corporations) to pay for it. But those geese are flying the coop as fast as they can. Who will pay for these things when they're gone? (Besides, corporate taxes are a pass through, a shell game to hide reaching into the consumer's pocket.) During the Depression the government gave people jobs (WPA, CCC, etc.) instead of handouts. True, they were often menial jobs but you had the pride of working. Now both the unions & corporations would scream about the unfair competition. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

England only wants what's best for England and history shows us how that works out for the common man. If we learned anything from Brexit it's how easily people can be fooled into throwing a vote away. How manipulative personalities like Farage can use use deceit and empty promises to persuade a vote. Agree or disagree with the EU, the UK faced a unique situation and they didn't handle it well. The number of comments, videos and reactions from England's voters was embarrassing. They didn't understand the impact of the referendum. Despite the counted votes the majority would really prefer to stay. From what I understand the majority want to stay and if Theresa May doesn't block a Parliament vote then the decision would likely be stalled or even overturned. America stands at a precipice with this election much like the UK did with Brexit, our choices can be seriously life altering. That's what we learned from Brexit, in my opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Much of the Brexit 'leave' vote was a reaction to the edicts of an unelected federal bureaucracy. Sound familiar? There was also the matter of an influx of immigrants through EU borders who refused the integrate into British society. Sound familiar?

Posted August 29, 2016 You all aren't thinking Ok, Donald Trump made his fortune in real estate, part of that is hotels. Every hotel owner knows a big part of their revenue is prostitution. Donald Trump is a known player. Are you serious? Finally a candidate for president that loves money and pussy? And not one of you is going to vote for the Donald? Well I'm voting for Trump. First, I like my occasional pussy fix. It takes a little pussy money to be able to hobby. I see nothing but broke dick mountain by 4 years of another Democrat. We need money flowing from hand to hand again and Trump is the best man of the 2 for unplugging the money tap. With more money in my wallet, that means more pussy for me, and more money for you girls! Fuck all the other bullshit, let's get the money flowing again. The rest no one can fix anyway. What do you want, to go to WW3 broke and sober? If it's coming it's coming, I'd rather go with a smile on my face in between some perky C's, cumming as I go. Go Trump!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
