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

This might sound crazy, but LeBron James just turned 30 this year... any chance we Democrats could talk him into retiring and running against Portman. Would he (LeBron) even be electable statewide?

Jesus Christ.

Lest we forget, NYE's political analysis posts are even worse than his RSS feed ones. Let's not forget that Landrieu was only going to win Orleans Parish...

I preferred the one where he said that Greece should get the World Cup.

Freedom Country with some massive issues it needs to address.

This but the food is so bad.

I would let a million Iraqi and Syrian women and children be raped, tortured and burned alive before I consented to a single drop of American blood being shed there.

Whether this is a necessary or just war is beside the point.

America cannot fight a necessary, just war today because America chose to fight an unnecessary, unjust war twelve years ago. I lay that at the feet of the failed foreign policy of George W. Bush and those elements of the Republican Party that still believe in neoconservative nonsense.

The 57% who support such a thing can go over there and take a stab at it themselves, as far as I'm concerned.

And if I have to listen to that senile old fart John McCain whine anymore about how we need to help his neo-Nazi fascist friends in Ukraine take over the country, I'm going to vomit.

The language might be extreme but I don't see how that's absurd, ignorant or bad.

He seems incredibly likable personally.

.....about a guy who basically got kicked as PM for being an arsehole.

I'm sorry, IceSpear, but your demands to exclude parts of the democratic field from the polling are bad, bad, bad:

>Including Warren
>Including Cuomo
>Including Gillibrand
>Including "wouldn't vote" (what)

Why? At this stage, we should only include those who are at least thinking of running.

File this under "shockingly not a Blubb-style parody":

In this forum's defence, I think most places are bad at discussing religion.

This is true because there's nothing substantive to be said about it. There are no data points to consider and no evidence to weigh. Any religious discussion, by definition, is just a tedious back and forth on semantics, feelings, and navel gazing, with a heavy tribal sociological component.

Interestingly that post ended up in the GPG (or something) as well. Talk about polarising
