Probably, right? He gets everyone to stay at his hotels and gets all kinds of good pics and videos of them. Even boring shit like jerking off on the toilet could bring these guys to their knees for Trump.

It’s true. It’s not the thing itself that’s so meaningful, it’s what it says about him for doing it and the people around him for enabling it that’s so disturbing.

It really is exhausting and, just as bad, it’s very distracting. And I’m Canadian! But I find I’m spending more time talking and reading about it at work and it dominates my limited spare time - I spend less time doing the things I love. I’m fortunate to not really feel the kind of anxiety and dread a lot of people…

This is exactly what came to mind when I saw this. If that goofy scream was immediately disqualifying this HAS to be.

Oh yeah, it’s like when someone says they can’t be racist because they’re dating/married to a black man/woman. Most misogynists date/marry women - it doesn’t mean shit.

I assume you’re afraid they’ll treat us as badly as we treated them?

So she apologized for something she did when it was socially acceptable and she she was essentially a different person? Though I’d say her apology is mostly meaningless, it was also unnecessary, so...

No, that’s not how a parliamentary system works. The Prime Minister is way more like the President than the Speaker of the House. You should check out how parliamentary government works - it’s interesting - as a Canadian I’d argue it can be a lot more effective than America’s system, though it’s not nearly as…

Meh, she serves a purpose. The Monarchy is good for a bit of national PR (even the torrid stuff is good for keeping England on the World Stage) and tourism.

Stop! Wealthy liberals and Democrats should raise a hundred millions dollars to help this guy run as an Independent presidential candidate. He could be Trump’s Ralph Nader.

Yeah, I came here to say the same thing. I am loathe to defend him in any way, but this does appear to be a stupid joke.

I think we’re over/incorrectly using the term “dog whistle” with Trump. He’s being overtly anti-Semitic and racist.

Life in prison is a punishment.

I don’t disagree with that assessment at all, I would just argue that war, even the Iraq War specifically, can be morally ambiguous and the Death Penalty, especially in how it is carried out, is not (or shouldn’t be).

Yeah, I wondered if that was even true as I was typing it.

I’m not exactly sure how I’d feel about the State executing people we knew with 100% certainty were guilty - I probably wouldn’t feel too much about it at all really (though there is something to be said about the idea that a brutal State creates brutal citizens) - but yeah, I hear ya.

I mean, it’s hard to argue with “everybody dies”. I get that on the scale of atrocities a country like America commits, prisoner executions may seem small just going by the numbers, but the State mostly avoids straight-up murdering people. Wars are theoretically self-defense and the collateral damage is accidental (I…

Stories like this are why, as much as I don’t feel bad about actual murderers dying, I could never support the Death Penalty. The chance of *one* innocent person being executed by the State should be too much for a moral society to bear.

Here’s what sucks about you, man: I’ve been frequenting political comment sections since they started and in every one there’s always at least a couple guys just like you who say the exact same kind of shit and are intentionally obtuse and argue in bad faith and get off on the negative attention they receive. And what…
