American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

IIRC the Soviets had proposed that the best way to break democracy was to try to find wedge issues and get them to the point where at least one side was unwilling to compromise. Lo and behold they fund the NRA. Lo and behold they fund the Republicans and work to elect Trump.

Oh well. Trump helped us come to terms with the recent mail bombs and synagogue murders by calling the press the enemy of the people. That makes it all better.

Hopefully people vote. 21% turnout is really high for some age groups - that’s pretty depressing.

Don’t even get me fucking started.

Lula lite was the answer.

Sucks to be Brasilian, now.

At least the hicks with room temperature IQ will be happy.

Room temp here in Tempe is 103, today.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Room temperature is a constant number.
21 C or 70 F.

And I was referring to celsius.

Shep just quit Fox already and get a job at ANY credible network already. Fox airs your facts then let Carlson, Hannity hours later go and spread bullshit and contradict it all with fabrication.

I do wonder what type of environments would lead to radicalization of credulous people? Anyone have any ideas where? anyone?

It must be tight to be able to walk around and bake stuff in the open air. You could have fresh waffles all day long.

I took a picture of my two favorite No on 1639 (gun control) signs that are everywhere around the city.
ā€œYour property is stolen
and used for evil purpose
YOU
are charged with a FELONY
Do you feel safe?ā€

" Billionaires Agree
It keeps THEM Safe
from YOU
How dare you defend yourself!"

The second one I really like. Everything about that makes no sense. The fuck are you defending yourself from? How is you not having guns making them safer…? baffled

Now I want waffles.

Poor populations love scornful ruthless dictator types

To think next Wednesday this whole ā€œcaravanā€ thing will just go away magically on Fox and out of Trumps mouth but not after it was injected as fact into more gullible people who will go out and hurt innocent people.

Its crazy to think in just the last week we had:

11 Killed in a Synagogue by a white supremacist
2 Blacks killed by a white supremacist who said he doesn’t shoot white people
Attempted assassinations of former presidents and critics of the president by again a white supremacist.

If any of those were done any minority group Trump and Fox would be talking about it 24/7.

While this is just a pre-election stunt to rally his xenophobic base, it’s cute to think he might believe he can selectively repeal Constitutional Amendments to suit his whims.

He’s scared. That’s why he’s making these crazy last-minute promises right before the election like mysterious new tax cuts and executive orders on natural-born immigrants. Trump is terrified of losing control of Congress. It’s because he’s a bitch-made pussy.

Remove unlimited citizenship. US needs to go Heinlein route and only grant citizenship and suffrage to those who serve.
