The Seriously? Theatre of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts V

[Türkisblau]

My parents despicably adorned me with nonsense "dress clothes" and toted me along for some disgusting Christian rituals sometime in March/April 1988 at the age of ~7 months.   My poor, brainwashed mind did not grow out of this until I was about 10 and refused to do anything on "Easter Sunday" but play video games in my basement (which is all ANY kid should be doing on Sunday morning) like the freedom fighter I am.

I think MormDem needs to calm down. I recommend a cup of tea.

To be fair, I think every one us would be a bit salty if our religion was joked every other post.

Worst to least worst

Lincoln
FDR
Theodore Roosevelt
LBJ
Bush II
Obama
Wilson
Truman
Polk
Grant

Someone ranking Lincoln below Wilson is something that I never thought I'd see on Atlas.

The desperation is palpable.

So will the left wing intellegentsia start defending our nominee from Republican attacks and media hit jobs, or will they contunue to waste their time pining for a candidate who isn't running?

Chafee is running.

'What difference does it make" whether Hillary or a Republican is elected? What change is she going to bring?

I've basically posted the same before, so:

Long WaPo feature on Schweich.

Here is a much more objective report on what actually happened:

http://www.ky3.com/news/local/police-missouri-auditor-tom-schweich-talked-of-suicide-left-no-note/21048998_32366062

And, a report that adds critical information:

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MISSOURI_AUDITOR?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT


The key takeaways is that Schweich had been suicidal for some time. He had severe Crohn's Disease. Clearly, he was severely depressed, but, had refused to seek any help. He had even threatened to kill himself while holding a gun in hand. His suicide seems to have everything to do with depression.

No substantial "whispering campaign" was ever found. Schweich had stated he would have to, "run as an independent or he needed to kill himself."


The last statement would explain the press conference. Perhaps, he called the conference to announce he was running as an independent, only realize that was a hopeless undertaking.

Now that the real facts are out, I cannot state how despicable it was for John Danforth to assert the "thin skull" principle applies. That refers to criminal acts. Tom Schweich wasn't a fourteen year-old girl being bullied about her looks on social media. He was a grown man seeking to be in the public eye. The person bearing moral responsible for the suicide of Tom Schweich is Tom Schweich.

Those who played up the Jewish angle were being equally outrageous. One person wrote that Missouri has "never had a Jewish governor" as if that were evidence of anything. Here's a link to a list of every Missouri governor.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors_of_Missouri

I'm not aware of any of them being Black, nor Hispanic. None seem to have an obvious Slavic name, Italian name or Greek name. Given a pool of less than sixty, and given the percentage of population of Missouri that is Jewish, zero Jewish governors is a rounding error from the expected value using random chance. While Missouri has not had a Jewish governor, apparently, twenty-four Jews have been governors of other states, including two currently serving. Of course, Missouri has two Black Congressmen, including one of the few in a White super-majority district, so charges of "racism" seems well stuffed with straw.

It is interesting to note that had Schweich had a Jewish maternal grandmother many Jews would insist that he was in fact "Jewish" even if he was a practicing Episcopalian.

It's a factual statement. Not apologizing for it. Jimmy Carter is a joke.

Saying that your political opinions are facts isn't helping anyone.

[Türkisblau]

Wtf is Jawbreaker?

Being put into here by you is an honor, BRTD.

Anyways, all socialists = liberals, but all liberals =/= socialists.

[Türkisblau]

it unites the world's objectively best nations together. there's only like 10 nations outside of it that aren't wholly and totally useless or bad.

obvious freedom alliance (left-leaning).

Ladies and gentlemen, a perfect example of why so many people hold elitist liberals in such contempt.

Get ready to collapse, Hilldog.

The movement is building and is on track to wipe her out ... again.

Even the most die-hard Hillary-enablers and bubble-ists should start getting nervous at this sight.

Tender's predictions make OC's look sane and measured by comparison.

In short: You can't criticize AAD groupthink/Kool Kidz Klub when you yourselves are breeding your own "exclusivity" here by dismissing everything from AAD in a kneejerk fashion.

I've never thought that there should be some sort of inherent divide between the two forums seeing as I like both but this is just getting ridiculous.

OK, I'll bite. What did I say wrong?

[Türkisblau]

I get extremely frustrated when discussing Israel with bedstuy, and not even he uses such extreme rhetoric like DavidB., so I can't even imagine us trying to have a conversation! I'd probably be labeled and anti-semetic genocidal maniac.

I must ask why you think Al Franken is purposefully trying to undermine Israel? Why do you think he sincerely doesn't have Israel's interests in heart? Should a United States Senator be thinking about Israel first when deciding policy?

[Türkisblau]

So to be a good Jew you have to listen to the reactionary dictations of an unconstitutionally invited foreign leader? Keep moving them goalposts!

Not only is much of this absolutely unhinged and insane but much is also factually wrong, like where did you get the idea that Whitehouse who is the WASPiest of WASPs is Jewish? My favorite part is when you say there are only 10 Jewish US Senators when Jews make up 2.1% of the U.S. population. What number is enough? How much of our government do you think should be owned by the Israel lobby?

edit: OK, the wording was confusing as  to me for whatever reason.

A Likud piece of trash is putting me on ignore!? Whatever shall I do?

Lol. I'm well to the right of Likud, I wouldn't have voted for them...

Utterly terrifying.

I think that the real crime is that he thinks that he's a better poster than all of the people on his ignore list.

Seeing as many horrible things have been done in the name of "anti-communism," this definitely belongs here.

anti-communist garbage

There's no such thing.

Ben Carson destroys Trump by having a much higher I.Q. and he's been married to the same woman for decades.

[Türkisblau]

There's been so much junk in 2016 that I just don't think this thread can handle it all tbh

Can the Green Party candidate Jill Stein be a spoiler to Hillary Clinton's chances in November if she is the nominee? Some of these Sanders supporters may not vote for Clinton; they may do a Nader '00/'04 that can give a Rubio or a Romney or a Trump the presidency. Thoughts?

DavidB can explicitly condone terrorism yet IndyTexas saying mean things (in an obviously unserious manner) about teh joos is "banworthy"? Interesting.

You really don't get the distinction? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. It gets dicier when in the present I must admit, but when going back in history, I don't see a problem when it comes to violating the rules. It may be a horrible opinion, but not all horrible opinions are infractable.

One person's words seem to encourage violent acts to forward political goals, another's words hurt feelings. Obviously I think that you know which one I think is more deserving of punishment - if we are to go that route with moderation anyway.

The Trump movement is a joke that will be rightfully squashed this year anyways when he is utterly and humility defeated

Saving this quote for when TRUMP puts you on a boat back to the Middle East.

How has that post not been removed yet?

Every LibertarianRepublican post in this thread. He really needs to take a step back...

And you need to shut up.

You're not in a position to dictate to me anything.

Dictating? I've only been sincere and constructive in the replies I've made to you.
