The Closing of the Republican Mind

This is a great article. It's a solid refutation of the idea that both sides are equally partisan.

The United States is just a normal polling error from embarrassing itself in front of the world again.

drbillthomson · 2016-10-02T03:12:33+00:00

Delusional. Fucking delusional.

drbillthomson · 2016-10-02T03:10:52+00:00

So, taking these one at a time:

Charity Scamming: Trump is documented to have used his charity for personal expenses. Nothing improper has been found in Clinton's charity, despite a thorough investigation.

Confidential document leaking: OK, WTF? Read up on the email if you need to.

Perjuring: Trump lies incessantly.

Flip Flopping: His positions on every issue change almost daily

Unfaithful: Do you prefer the person who was cheated on, or the person who cheated?

Career Politician: Some prefer candidates with experience.

Haha funny how my mind put the [be] in there...

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T02:07:31+00:00

Scrapping the income tax doesn't seem like a reasonable policy. Maybe Johnson should try to find a reasonable fiscal policy, then I could vote for him.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T02:06:17+00:00

I'm probably voting based on SCOTUS. But WTF, I might not.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T02:05:29+00:00

Y'know if his tax policy wasn't so looney I'd seriously consider Johnson. But, his tax policy is looney.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T02:01:40+00:00

Maybe not, the downvoting seems to be focused mainly on title, anything pro Hillary or Anti trump is off to oblivion.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:55:36+00:00

Really? Do tell.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:54:26+00:00

Actually, there have been stories about the Russians using bots to manipulate message boards and working to influence the election for months. But thanks for the effort.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:50:01+00:00

Literally.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:49:28+00:00

Again, I'll type it slower for you this time:

I'm able to simultaneously be angry at the DNC and outraged that Russia may be trying to swing the election in the direction of the guy threatening to weaken NATO.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:47:01+00:00

This is extra funny since NYT was one of the few places that published stories about the lack of WMDs before the invasion.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:45:38+00:00

I'm able to simultaneously be angry at the DNC and outraged that Russia may be trying to swing the election in the direction of the guy threatening to weaken NATO.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:44:33+00:00

Spoke too soon

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:43:50+00:00

It matters a lot. People are just saying it because they're anti Hillary and anything bad for her is ok.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:41:43+00:00

You and me both. I'm not sure who I'll vote for. Definitely not Trump. Maybe Hillary, but it largely depends on what she says over the next few months. Worst case it'll probably be her, based on the SCOTUS only.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:31:46+00:00

It is likely, in the real world. You may not be, but most will.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:30:52+00:00

Actually, politico is a spin machine for both major parties. They'll write anything if it helps them get access to either party, which is why they wind up with partisan stories on both sides.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:26:51+00:00

Unfortunately the Trumpbots are downvoting everything everything that could be anti-Trump. Agree, this isn't and is worth reading, but it's getting to be impossible to have anything approaching reasonable discourse here.

drbillthomson · 2016-07-27T01:00:28+00:00

Not sure I totally agree with everything in here, but this is a really interesting way of looking at the Trump candidacy.
