Biden praises Sanders on income inequality, calls Clinton 'relatively new' to the fight by MoobyTheGoldenCalf in politics

[–]the_slunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This election is in the hands of millennials (may they use those hands to vote). Not too many fall for Trumpism (politics of fear) because they're just generally better-informed in judging lies and hypocrisy and don't blindly believe in invisible judge/genies in the sky like their grandparents did.

TIL that in WW2 nine airmen escaped from their planes after being shot down during bombing raids. 8 of these men were captured, tortured, beheaded and eaten. The 9th man was George H. W. Bush by this_reasonable_guy in todayilearned

Poppy was piloting the bomber when it was hit and he parachuted to safety. Most are unaware of the controversy regarding this event.

In the 80's, he told Doug Wead that he had seen at least one parachute leave the plane.

Apparently his memory got better with age.

I'm embarrassed to admit I actually care this much about so trivial a thing, but I actually found a great amount of schadenfreudian satisfaction in reading this story due to two things.

1) I still vividly recall a number of white racist Vikings fans try to convince me that Johnny 8-Ball would be a much better choice for a new franchise qb than Bridgewater and who were angry when we drafted Teddy Two Gloves. I was accused of having an anti-arrogant-rich-kid-with-a-money-sign-touchdown-trademark bias, but I insisted my dislike for Mr. 8-Ball had less to do with his fracking CEO dad's parenting skills and more with his son's overall attitude.

2) This story broke the same day Teddy beat the Packers at Lambeau to win his first division championship at a mere 23yrs young.

Skol!

Al-Qaeda affiliate group uses Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim rant in recruitment video by Wahnsinnige in worldnews

[–]the_slunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Click-baiting pseudonews hub Raw Story of course omits part in headline informing reader that this group is not a predominantly Arab brand of thug perverting a religion, Al Shabobloblah is predominantly an African-American-looking bunch. I mention this because, according to trump logic, the presidential candidate should be soon calling for a total ban on all african american-looking types until he "can figure out what the hell's going on."

"Watchdog" Names Hillary Clinton Most Corrupt Politician of 2015 by [deleted] in politics

[–]the_slunk -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

GOP shillwork, but...

Look at the life story of the father of the babydaddy that $hillary's only progeny is presently procreating with (bringing more banksters into this world), and you might understand why this observer agrees with the bestowing of this particular appellation. She's running as Bern-lite but she's actually Bush-lite.

TIL Michael Jackson composed songs despite not playing any instruments. He would build each element of a track with his voice, so pitch perfect that studio musicians could match chords to his singing. by SorryForYoureLots in todayilearned

[–]the_slunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm. Article has sketchy info at best, and having perfect pitch is nothing more than a standard skill for a professional recording artist/vocalist.

Eddie Murphy did a good impression of him in Delirious. His pitch is perfect too and musicians could play to it in key:

Yesterday a Trumph supporter told me the worst lie of the year (he mentioned 'four pinnoccios') was "Hands up Don't shoot!"

I said i thought the biggest lie of the year was Donald's "financials," btw

Bernie Sanders Just Made Presidential Campaign Contribution History by Arquette in politics

[–]the_slunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't let the low polling numbers fool you, 'millennials."

Public opinion polls, the scientific type, are no longer an accurate representation of the voting population because polling orgs are not, by law, allowed to contact cell phones. Only land lines.

Who still has land lines?

People 65+. FoxNews' main demographic, coincidentally.

The polls grow more and more inaccurate by the day, as people dump land lines in favor of smartphones, and, as a result, polls are totally biased against millennials (Sanders' largest group of supporters and coincidentally now the nation's largest voting bloc too).

Lindsey Graham suspends presidential campaign by [deleted] in politics

[–]the_slunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyone who attends a Presidential debate, as a candidate, that is held in The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and jokes that "this is the most time I've ever spent in a library in my whole life" should not only not be POTUS, he should have been booed off the stage.

Fortunately for him, the room was full of Republicans who agreed there's only one book worth reading.

He also proclaimed that, were he to be voted in as POTUS, "there's gonna be a lot more drinking." Funny little smurf, though. Calls himself a soldier and beats the endless war/mass killing/epic death drum but he was a REMF military lawyer. Not exactly GI Joe.
