The Lief Reservoir of Simple Truths and Smart One-Liners

Never liked him much, and being a racist makes you an automatic HP

Dude, find a new hobby...  I just don't want to be in your political party, you need to accept it and stop being obsessed with getting me to join you in the Democratic Party!

Was this directed at me or Santander?

Santender (D)

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The judges in this country are totally out of control.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Because a good troll quietly inserts himself into the minutia of Atlas culture, where as a lame troll comes in guns a blazing and burns out quick.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Bush bullied gays to get better conservative turnout in 2004. He was the original king of the deplorables.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Failing, obviously. They're hoping that no matter how bad they suck, they can still beat Trump, but that didn't work out for them last year.

New UNH/WMUR poll:

Where did you find to money to commission this poll?

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

These issues AREN'T the issues of the 1960s

Which actually is precisely the problem. Subtler forms of racism can't be as easily combated as overt examples, and therefore require different responses.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The electoral college. It is the only one I voted for. All the other options are bullcrap. You get 270 electoral votes, you win. The end.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

Not a chance. He suffers from everything that ailed Clinton, minus the age and health issues, except amplified.

I don't think Booker is a strong candidate--- but he is not under FBI investigation and won't have the words "emails" and "Booker Foundation" flying over his head.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

It's not really a sport if your opponent can't compete.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Every thought of Obama makes Trump, for all his flaws, look better almost instantly.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

And yet people in the country were so economically despereate that they voted for Trump to be his successor. He was a moderate republican as he stated himself

I blame cowardly suburbanites way more than a few coal miners

[Santander]

Y'know, at least Santander embraces and admits to being a piece of s**t.

[IceSpear]

Apparently there's low enthusiasm for Gillespie in rural/SWVA.

Obviously Gillespie needs them to turn out in high numbers on election day.

The “wearing a coal miners hat” money quote does more to underline our identity-obsessed politics than anything else I’ve seen in a while

Resentful whites are the true purveyors of identity politics, not Democrats. It's all projection.

atlas irony candidates aren't even funny anymore. What a sad state of affairs here

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Movement conservatism is a scam to keep America's wealth in the hands of the 1% while too many people struggle. Seeing how wealthy the U.S. is, it is really criminal how difficult it is for so many people to make ends meet -- if they manage to do so.

[Santander]

The people who crave victimhood are the worst thing for actual victims of legitimate issues.

[Santander]

Still a classic:

If this doesn't show everyone why people hated her and why she lost, I don't know what does.

[IceSpear]

Um, politicians always refer to themselves as "future" this or the "next" *insert political office* of *insert state/city/county/country*, but when Hillary's staffer does it it was arrogance and being tone deaf?

You all would criticize her for the way she wiped her ass if you could.

Americans would rather have millions of people incinerated in a nuclear blast and millions more succumb to radiation poisoning than have a president with a vagina. Somehow I don’t think the problem is HRC.

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

I think the premise is this thread is not good but I do love seeing this poster get shat on so I will make an exception.

Guys, if Bernie had beaten Hillary, it would have been one of the greatest upsets in history. Hillary would have been utterly humiliated - again, and at the hands of the party that ostensibly supports women's rights. If not wanting our politics to become misogynistic torture porn writ large makes me an objectively bad person, so be it. But I do not think God created woman just so that she could be shat on.

Hillary Clinton isn't even a good feminist.

Men telling women what makes a good feminist is the kind of thing that spawned the Bernie Bro meme.

[Santander]

People like Santander, Sprouts, hugecat, etc. that are capable of derailing interesting threads on a whim are just the worst

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

It's great seeing both parties squirm from some rich guys being investigated for financial crimes.

So far it hasnt


The reason this is hurting the NFL is simple:

- there are far more people who stopped watching the NFL because of the protests than people who have started to watch the NFL because of the protest.

[IceSpear]

Dude in the Senate alone right now there's a former conservaDem State Treasurer from Louisiana, a former conservaDem Congressman from Alabama who switched parties after the '94 thrashing, a homophobic judge who used to be a Dem about to be elected to another seat in Alabama, and most the Republican statewide officials in Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana used to be Democrats. Stop pretending like there wasn't a massive switch of allegiance. These are literally the same conservatives, just different parties.

[IceSpear]

So they're willing to sell out their country for partisanship, even when that selling out pertains to illegal behavior. How is that different than what Robert Hansen did, or a government agent who passes secrets to Russia for money?

Because they're "real Americans." True patriotism is defined as whatever they believe, support, or oppose.
