President 2016

[abrown83]

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

[Pooh]

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.

Response to Bernie's comments to the NY Post...

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.

The old school saying for this is being hoisted upon ones own petard.

FCC kept 'Obamaphone' fraud under wraps until after it expanded program

FCC kept 'Obamaphone' fraud under wraps until after it expanded program

Really credible (?) source for this accusation (a Republican commission who also opposes net neutrality):

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Varadaraj_Pai

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]

Bottom line: Most likely a partisan hit piece.

Try again.

[rum dick]

my apologies if this has already been posted. just couldn't resist.

[DRK Star]

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.

Also, what the fuck does the Obamaphone program have to do with cop stuff??? Because if you are going to bitch about fraud and waste in government spending, why aren't you howling on this thread about the hundred billion or so wasted on defense contracts???

Seriously, you're showing your ugly partisanship here, bro.

[DRK Star]

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!!

[DRK Star]

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.

[rum dick]

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!

Denial of reality at Fox Noise is predictably unreal.

Geraldo is looking more like Colonel Sanders every day.

[DRK Star]

polls are fairly useless THIS YEAR.

when a candidate like Trump starts to REALLY go after you, especially guys he was once trailing, he has destroyed them.


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".

[Jayjami]

Trump vs. Hilary will be carnage for Hillary.

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.
