You're still throwing a tantrum, two years in. Face it, Putin rejected your left of common sense views. You have to move on bud, find an outlet for your anger.

At what point does slow get so slow it comes to a grinding halt?

If Trump has any sense, he'll make sure his people canvas the crowd near the stage and remove inflammatory signs at the rally in Charlotte tonight (I.e. any with rhetoric similar to that pasted all over the MAGAvan) so that they don't show up on TV.

It would be great if this starts off a push back against some of the insanity that's been pushed recently.

Seriously, the place cleans up so much nicer if you just put him on ignore... Lack of attention forces attention whores to re-sock the cupboards..

I'll say one thing... successful troll is successful... FDC could learn a thing or two...

Translation: Different opinions are scary.

Congrats in winning a contest that doesn't matter. Also, big deal. Super-blue CA gave her the popular vote, a meaning metric to claim.

And without Texas, Trump wouldn't have won the electoral college. You can't just remove one state from the results and expect it to still be meaningful.

Not really the same, she'd still be behind him. Point is CA is very blue, TX even if they went very red the electoral college buffers that. Keeps states' rights preserved, you know, how America is supposed to be.

That's just in your fantasies. I'm sure you are just dying to have that civil war though, nut gobbler.

I really hope that doesn't happen. I'm glad I'm on the side with the guns that can form a militia if it did. But, as long as you're opposed to common sense things like ignoring border security and leaving the 2A alone, you aren't making it easier to come together.

Weird how Slow is so busy in this thread, yet can't seem to find time to respond in his "Market up..." thread. Can't imagine why.

I see you are still into straw man arguments.

Keep on licking on!

"Terry Pennington, 52 and from the outskirts of Charlotte, had waited in the rain since 9pm on Thursday, some 22 hours before Trump was scheduled to speak. He was wearing a camouflage jacket he had customized to read “Constitution Enforcement – protected by the 2nd Amendment”. He had no doubt about what lay behind the arrest.

I bet $500 they are lying,” he said. “I bet it was a liberal who did it. Have you stopped to think why those bombs were only sent to high-level Democrats? They are trying to make it look like Donald Trump is encouraging terrorism.”


He added: “The truth is, the liberals are the terrorists
.”

His wife agreed.

“It seems like a lot’s been planted to make it look like a Trump supporter did it,” said Carrie Pennington, 48.

In her view, the arrest of a suspect with clear ideological ties to Trump was an elaborate distraction from an impending rout by Republicans in the midterm elections.

“They’re just trying to deflect us from voting and focusing on the red tsunami that’s about to hit,” she said."

...

"Trump’s devoted followers in the sports arena were also scathing about that. Kathy Chenette, 62, a realtor from Mooresville, North Carolina, said she had read on Twitter that the same configuration of stickers on the back of the van had been photographed on the side of the van.

This was obviously Photoshopped,” she said. “I think it’s a distraction against the invasion of illegal immigrants at the border. It’s all set up by Soros.

The United States needs to take off the leather jacket, put down the water skies and climb out of the pool. The sooner, the better.

How one pushes back makes all the difference between a united effort for peace VS a partisan effort that can escalate.

Besides, what would be pushed against? The Republican Party, as a whole? #NeverTrump seems dead on arrival.

You're right, TX just barely doesn't have enough EC votes to have swung the balance, but my point stands.

You can't disregard an entire state when viewing the results of the vote. Like it or not, Hillary was more popular.

What is your fucking point? Take out some Americans out from the popular vote and Trump would have won the popular vote? Damn, you're an idiot.
