The Lief Reservoir of Simple Truths and Smart One-Liners

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Duterte might have been elected democratically, but he's rapidly approaching the territory when, due to one's action, there's no legitimacy to claim anymore.

[Ebowed]

He lives in MA. It is one of the most certain states in this election. What better place to make a statement about other choices than in a state like MA?

You are a state legislator and you've endorsed Donald Trump: why should anyone respect anything that you have to say about this election? You are a coward. Thanks for being part of the movement to destroy our global economic system and our standard of living.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Any blogger who refers to a woman running for office as a "c**nty hag" is awful.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Pizza, it's overrated.

Presumably you say that because you've never had real pizza.

and if you ask two different people what "real" pizza is you'll get three different answers.

Nixon released his when he was under audit.

You know it's bad when Trump has difficulty in reaching the ethical standards set by Nixon

[Kingpoleon]

I have arrived. Waiting for the haters to enter the arena.

I have entered. So?

we need like a moderator or something #israelipallydebate2016

I do not speak Twittish.

This is literally the greatest ag post I have ever seen.

In response to BRTD's complete idiocy:

As someone with Ecuadorian family members and who knows a number of Ecuadorians and Ecuadorian-Americans, I find this pretty offensive.

I also love how in BRTD logic, banning Muslims from the US because of terrorism is bad...but banning Ecuadorians because of one man is just dandy.  

Here's a suggestion.  How about we don't ban religions or nationalities from the US.  Kthx. 

[Mr. Smith]

Fried chicken is the most one dimensional and least versatile of the foods listed.  You could easily substitute a fried pork chop and be reasonably satisfied.

BRTD being an FF and BRTD being an idiot are not mutually exclusive positions.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Guys, this isn't about Supreme Court nominations. Fuzzy Bear dislikes individual freedoms and brown people like most other Trump supporters so he wants to make the US more fascist. Of course him and his fellow Trumpists won't want to admit to this so they'll create all sorts of excuses.

Obviously, anyone who in the primaries enthusiastically backed Trump over the other Republican candidates is a false Christian who doesn't give a s**t about the word of God. Yeah, you worried Cruz or Rubio wouldn't appoint the right Supreme Court justice? You thought Trump was the safest bet to win the election and get that appointment? Yeah, didn't think so.

It seems to be a key difference between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives always think they're winning, even when they're losing. Liberals always think they are losing, even when they are winning.

Wait, am I winning? I always feel like my side is losing politically. Are you saying there is still hope???

By definition, it should be the reverse.

Context is evolution:

Technically, it's both a law and a hypothesis

No, it's neither of those things. It's not a law because it can't be expressed as a mathematical formula that can be applied as a universal constant (laws are generally associated with physics and chemistry, rarely biology) and it's not a hypothesis because a hypothesis because that would mean it hasn't been repeatedly tested and confirmed.

Theories, laws, and hypotheses all refer to different things, nothing can be all three.

MUH EXPECTATIONS GAME!!!!1!1!!!1111


What the f**k people. This is ridiculous. It's not a f**king game. Stop being children.

That's politics dude.  Save your hand-wringing for the soaps.

NOT IT'S NOT.

It's what a generation of utter cultural decadence has fooled people into thinking politics is.

Like I said.  You might not like it, but that is what politics is.

The media wants a horserace.  They were never going to get this election get out of control.

And feeling entitled to 'a horserace' at all costs, regardless of the quality of the candidates and their fitness for office or anything even close to office, is decadent and depraved.

[Fitzgerald]

A worthy post for my inaugural recommendation:

the alt-right is to blame for making a quite creepy but still tolerable fetish into a battle cry of the fringe.

let me tell you as an austrian: the nazis didn't have symbols or philosophies of their own - they just stole whatever they found and tainted it with their own layer of ruin and death.

as GOP consultant rick wilson said: everything trump touches dies - and the same approach works with the alt-right....RIP pepe.

The fact that words and phrases like "cuck" and "alpha male" have seriously entered the political discourse is mind-numbingly disappointing.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I see Tony's slipping into the classic Atlas fallacy of assuming that people put thought into how they vote.

One of the regrettable, disgusting aspects of contemporary, "individualistic" Americanism.

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

Wouldn't call that a war on Catholicism any more than I'd call someone saying that Muslims in general need to treat women better a war on Islam.

Credit where it's due

Rape, by definition, is sex without consent.

[BundouYMB]

This is what I fear from a Clinton presidency.  Trump wants to work with Russia and I think Johnson would as well to a lesser extent.  Hillary already screwed up this relationship and doesn't want to make a deal with Putin.
