I was reading some of the crazy shit that could go down.
Like forcing all States to be proportional, is the main one I hear being kicked around.
America was great for about 170 years.
We are now about 60 years into our decline, would probably guess we have another 20-30 before shit totally hits the fan and we can say GG America GG
I'm surprised the cunt didn't get more votes here.
Could it really happen? Will the US elect its first Jewish president this fall? This blogger thinks so. And makes a compelling argument why.

GE CEO: Bernie Sanders says we’re ‘destroying the moral fabric’ of America. He’s wrong.
By Jeffrey R. Immelt April 6 at 5:12 PM
Jeffrey R. Immelt is chairman and chief executive of GE.
We at GE were interested to read comments Monday by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who told the New York Daily News editorial board that GE is among the companies that are supposedly “destroying the moral fabric” of America. The senator had been asked to cite examples of corporate greed at its worst. Somehow that got him to talking about us.
GE has been in business for 124 years, and we’ve never been a big hit with socialists. We create wealth and jobs, instead of just calling for them in speeches. We take risks, invest, innovate and produce in ways that today sustain 125,000 U.S. jobs. Our engineers innovate every day to build hardware and software solutions that meet real-world challenges. Our employees are proud of our company. I meet second- and third-generation employees whenever I travel across the country. I am one myself. Our suppliers and partners are proud of our company. Our communities are proud of our company. Our pride, history and hard work are real — the moral fabric of America.
The senator has never bothered to stop by our aviation plant in Rutland, Vt. We’ve been investing heavily (some $100 million in recent years), hiring and turning out some of the world’s finest jet-engine components in Vermont since the 1950s. The plant employs more than 1,000 people who are very good at what they do. It’s a picture of first-rate jobs with high wages, advanced manufacturing in a vital industry — how things look when American workers are competing and winning — and Vermont’s junior senator is always welcome to come by for a tour.
Elsewhere in Vermont, GE Healthcare employs more than 340 men and women in South Burlington. Yearly, GE does about $40 million worth of business with dozens of suppliers of parts and services across Vermont. Nationwide, we have 200 GE plants, including 15 that were built in the past five years — all with the aim of making GE the world’s premier industrial company.
Sanders says that he is upset about GE’s operations abroad — as though a company that has customers in more than 180 countries should have no presence in any of them. He never mentions that we are one of the United States’ prime exporters, annually selling in excess of $20 billion worth of American-made goods to the world. Nor does he mention that our sales around the world support our manufacturing base here at home, along with the thousands of U.S. companies in our supply chain. You want to cause big problems for our suppliers — many of whom are small and medium-size businesses — and their workers? The surest way would be to pull out of those countries and lose those customers.
We are competing globally with foreign companies whose governments care whether they win and support them in innumerable ways. U.S. companies continue to wrestle with an outdated and complex tax code that puts them at a distinct competitive disadvantage. Sanders has stated many times that GE pays no taxes. Repeating a lie over and over does not make it true. We pay billions in taxes, including federal, state and local taxes. The U.S. tax system has not been updated in 30 years and isn’t designed for today’s economy, which is why we support comprehensive tax reform — even if it raises our tax rate.
It’s easy to make hollow campaign promises and take cheap shots in speeches and during editorial board sessions, but U.S. companies have to deliver for their employees, customers and shareholders every day. GE operates in the real world. We’re in the business of building real things and generating real growth for a nation that needs it now more than ever. I’m proud of all that we do, and how it all figures into “the moral fabric” of America is so plain to me. It seems Sen. Sanders is missing the point.

Bottom line: Most likely a partisan hit piece.Quote:
Net neutrality
Pai is opposed to the FCC's current incarnation of net neutrality and voted against reclassifying internet service providers as Title II Common Carriers. He was very active publicly opposing the early-2015 vote of the FCC to enact "net neutrality" regulations.[15]
Try again.

my apologies if this has already been posted. just couldn't resist.
Is there any chance we could trade our president this year, and future draft picks, for Trudeau?
DRK: The issue you raised is whether the FCC commisioners were *intentionally* kept in the dark about abuse of the program before it was expanded, *not* whether the program had some fraud. *ALL* government programs are subject to fraud. The question that immediately popped into my mind is why a GOP commissioner who is in the pocket of big telecom the only one making that claim? That seems like political angling.Quote:

Seriously, you're showing your ugly partisanship here, bro.
So, based on your logic, if I am pissed about ONE THING, Im supposed to then post about my outrage on A MILLION OTHER FUCKING THINGS?
Instead, try THIS approach.
DRK, I see your valid points, because I read through the bullshit and came to a logical conclusion. Here is an article about some govt waste. What are your views on the matter? Also, here are some articles on it so that you can be informed and use facts to come to a conclusion.
Because using your logic, why arent you pissed off that McDonalds isnt offering their McDLT anymore, where they keep the hot side hot, and the cool side cool? I dont see you commenting on THAT!!
In terms of "bipartisanship", are you saying that I blindly rant about one side and not the other? Because I am voting Republican, are you suggesting I ignore the failings of the GOP?
BOTH SIDES SUCK FAT DICK. I wish I didnt have to vote. I wish we had the ability to nominate intelligent, logical people for positions of higher power. But, we dont. We vote for people who suck the teets of those with power, and everyone sucks each other off, while shitting on everyone else not on their side.
I have to vote Republican this year because my city is in total shit right now. It doesnt mean Im happy with the party. Look who I have to choose from. How the fuck does Canada get a smart, bright, logical guy like Trudeau, and we get 5 of the worst options I can ever remember seeing run for office?
gtfo with that bipartisanship talk. I call it like I see it. Repubs suck. Democrats though offer up free shit to everyone, for votes to stay in power and financially reward their friends. GOP screws everyone to take care of the good ol boy network, and pander to people who believe that there is a mystical being in the sky.
I want someone who wont embarrass my country. Not gonna happen this year.
Drk we are gonna need you to calm down.
Denial of reality at Fox Noise is predictably unreal.

Protester argues with Trump supporter. Trump supporter asks protester to come up with an example, protester cant, protester then spits a huge loog right at Trump supporters face (protester has face covered up with bandana and glasses). Trump supporter yells "HEY!!...HE just spit in my face. Protester then states "Im a Tranny....Go ahead and hit a woman!" right in the protesters face.
what does the woman do, standing nearby?....
She asks if the Tranny is ok, and then lectures the protester, who got spit on, that the Tranny is to be called a woman.
ignore the fact that the woman/tranny just committed a battery to the protester.....ridiculous
#logic
"uh, your candidate is LITERALLY the guy that stormfront endorses" (he is ACTUALLY the guy)
I love this logic. My candidate could be endorsed by Giraffes....I have no say in the matter. If someone wants to give me votes, as a candidate, do I REALLY need to do anything about that? No. If things get ugly, and people get butthurt, like they did when David Duke endorsed Trump, he actually DID come out and say 'I disavow' him.
its votes. You want them. Its the whole reason you are there. shut the fuck up with "so and so endorses you" shtick. Racists need to vote too. Doesnt mean you have to like them and agree with them. Take their votes. Thanks!
Geraldo is looking more like Colonel Sanders every day.Quote:

so, saying that a poll NOW, where he hasnt even started attacking the other person (like Hillary or Bernie) is a good barometer of how things will go in the future, is a waste of time. He uttered one line against Hillary in regards to her husband and she shut the fuck right up, quickly. Trump vs. Hillary will be carnage for Hillary. Against Bernie, Trump probably doesnt have much ammo. Cruz loses to both. Kasich doesnt sling mud, so who knows how those fights will go.
when its time to fight, people will bring their A games. At the moment, its "spring training".
If Trump gets on stage one on one with Hilary, she will absolutely annihilate him. Why? Trump's asinine policies have absolutely no intellectual underpinnings. Sound bites are not going to cut it in an two hour, two person debate. In terms the average Repulbican can understand (since they prefer fairy tales over science), the emperor has no clothes. Once he is exposed, Trump will revert his tried and true tactic of bullying his opponent. Since Hilary is a woman, it will not go well. The party establishment is well aware of this prospect, and to their credit, are trying to stop him.Quote:

Ben & Jerry arrested in Washington for protesting money in politics http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/co-...5tb?li=BBnb7Kz
Ben & Jerry's is based in Vermont.
Comment from Reddit
Here's what they are calling "getting arrested."
"Seeing a lot of misinformation and conjecture in this thread about the reason for arrests and how protests in general are handled in DC, so I wanted to clear some things up.
I worked for a video crew filming the protests on both Sunday and Monday. The Democracy Awakening event has been going on for the past week, and other than Sunday they have marched a group every day to the steps of the US Capitol building (East side) and were voluntarily arrested.
Just yesterday alone, around 300 people were arrested. They were not blocking "heavy pedestrian throughways" as one comment suggested either, these protests have been planned and even coordinated with the police (yes, they do that in DC), so they were already prepared and ready to process people onsite. In fact, nobody is even placed in handcuffs. The protest is civil, and as such people were placed into small groups and escorted over to a police trailer that processed them and ticketed them for a $50 processing fee, and then they are sent on their way.
As to the march, there is a division of the DC Police (DC Mobile Unit) that interfaces with the protest planners so that the roads are officially blocked off at the route points by police escorts.
Afterwards we were fortunate enough to interview both Ben and Jerry before they went out to lunch for fried chicken."
So if you think Cenk and these guys were inside a grimy DC holding tank think again.
Hillary Clinton was the only First Lady ever to be indicted. Ruminate on that.
Been on a kick lately of revisiting the old Hillary Clinton scandals. Druff is big on nostalgia and I find myself marking what I was doing at the time of each of them.... in the same way a song might trigger the memory of some slut you were dating.
What was I doing when Vince Foster was killed? Or when she nuked the White House travel office to get her relative in to run it. The campaign financing indictments and settlements. The attacks on Bill's bimbos. Etc., etc.
Hillary scandals are kinda the soundtrack of my adult life. I guess, I have to credit her with helping form my adult view as to how politics work. Long before Bush and all that.
The best stuff you see is the testimony and gossip from the secret service agents who had the pleasure of serving her. Absolutely awesome.... and consistent in their depiction of her as arrogant, elitist, ruthless. Just a nasty bitch.
Bernie has most everybody's respect for running a sincere campaign based on his ideas & principle's. Not to offend you, FPS, but we know it's over for Bernie. He's an amateur politician. It's like he's persuing a lifelong hobby. You can't win without trading money for favors and playing the power game. Espousing ideas and platitudes don't get you elected in America. Only works when running for class president in middle school.
So here's the thing, FPS. If Bernie is a moral man, why in god's name hasn't he confronted his opponent on her past?
I like Bernie. At times I thought would vote for him just because he wasn't part of the filthy political establishment. However, his failure to go after his opponent's character - especially at this point when he is pretty much done - just strikes me as weak ass and scared. He almost has a moral obligation to this country to do so.
I am absolutely convinced Hillary will be our next President. It reinforces my view of our political system. So to some degree it pleases me to be right and amuses me to watch the childlike sincerity with which the masses and forum posters debate candidates' ideas and character. Kinda faggot actually.
The only thing I wonder now is whether Hillary will survive her first term before being handcuffed and perp walked across through the Rose Garden.
She's the baddest politician in the USA though. Ruthless and cunning. Her win rate is still perfect. I can't wait to see the mafia she assembles. Realistically and as a practical matter she can't be touched.
You know that old line: "grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change". Try to understand the world you occupy and play that game. Idealism will get you killed.
I gamble the markets. Personally, I think the situation right now is a huge Ponzi scheme. It's an important part of the recipe that will get Hillary elected. What I think about the correctness of the markets is irrelevant. I play the hand that is dealt. I don't fight for what's right. That Zen will reap reward.
Been thinking a lot about the Middle East. ISIS, oil and all that. My reflex is to not give a shit about ISIS. You reap what you sow. I keep thinking about London and the IRA. Inconvenient, some casualties but I really choose not to get too worked up.
I had an epiphany recently. The Carter Doctrine in 1980 was the beginning of the Middle East. This shit has been part of our modern national agenda for 40 years. Yes, it's all about oil.
Late 70's we had an oil crisis. Lines at the pump. Our perception of freedom and way of life as American's was threatened. If you can't fill up your Camaro, grab a six pack and hit the open road then what does it mean to be American?Quote:
The Carter Doctrine was a policy proclaimed by President of the United States Jimmy Carter in his State of the Union Address on January 23, 1980, which stated that the United States would use military force if necessary to defend its national interests in the Persian Gulf.
Again, achieving a clarity about the world you live in provides a peace of mind. The world begins to amuse you. Listening to the "Druff Doctrine" on radio (lol, WMD's) becomes a source for entertainment and your Weds nights become a fuller and richer experience.
Tyde, in what universe can anyone talk about the US election for more than an hour much less 24? It's over, dude. The GOP convention will offer some good lulz. But that's for later. Consider, an anti-fraud show. DO discuss forum topics and drama. Riff a little.
I could go on. Oh, wait... What is the deal with the Flying Stupidity Wagering thread? It is time to take a good hard look in the mirror gentlemen when a chimp like me is dominating that thread. What kind of group is this that don't discuss playoff sports, wager etc? I hope you will address the low testorene issues Tyde.
I'm out. Enjoy your day.
Kinda surprised that you also mentioned in the same post probably the one US presidential candidate in recent American history -- possibly ever -- who got elected by "[e]spousing ideas and platitudes".Quote:

http://youtu.be/rIzAyIUo7_g
Here's a kick in the liberal nuts. In NY, Bernie got 50% of the male vote, and 50% of the white vote- winning white men with 57%. Hillary's 15% victory was entirely due to minorities.
http://www.cnn.com/election/primaries/polls/ny/Dem
On the GOP side, 91% of exit poll participants were White, 3% Black, and 5% Latino. 56% were male. That's why Trump is a +475 underdog in November.
http://www.cnn.com/election/primaries/polls/ny/Rep
Im completely baffled as to why Bernie does not have the Black vote.

Around here anyway, the most corrupt person wins. That includes literally paying people to go vote for you. Happens at churches and homeless shelters with something referred to as 'walking around money'. One candidate has that kind of money to spread around of the two.Quote:
