Well people are dumb.  Huge difference between perving on a 17 year old and a 7 year old.

And yet we have laws that make no such distinction. And laws that treat an 18 year old who sleeps with his 17 year old girlfriend like a child molestor, for life.

Quite a few

If we voted now. Curious how well those states hold up as more Republicans jump ship and Hillary unleashes attack ads. 

 

[squistion]

No you nitwit I did it because my family has an interest in Broadway. I've said before on here my youngest is a theatre kid and adores everything about Broadway etc. , my wife and often share this bond and on occasion I go with them.

Now go #### off

Tsk, tsk, is that being excellent to one another?

Still no response from you on Foley. Interesting because you couldn't stop talking about Bill Clinton and The Lolita Express.

Why the attacks on Bill Clinton and the complete silence about Foley?

 

[QuizGuy66]

Just wanna post that I am relieved that Em is not the Trump Tower climber.  Saw that video from the day before and was a little worried tbh.

When you are Republican, and the 17 year old is male, details like that get lost. Did the age matter, or the sex of the other party?

Personally, I couldn't care less if he was knocking down 17 year old boys. 

He should have chosen a more tolerant party.

You have this tattooed anywhere, by chance?

I think the power dynamic of a member of Congress hitting on Congressional pages is what makes the Foley scandal shameful.  If Foley had been going to gay bars and picking up young guys to bang I'd agree with you that from my perspective it would be a non-story.

The power thing is also my biggest issue with the Monica Lewinsky scandal, much more than the actual cheating or even the lying under oath.

Also when you are their boss.  He hit the "inappropriate sexual conduct" trifecta.

I still think the most damaging thing he's done is attend a Trump rally, though.

 

[Don't Noonan]

I agree. Supporting Trump is a bit of a litmus test for me. I'm very fortunate that most of my conservative friends/family can't stand the guy. 

For me, those that are avid supporters of Hillary is a huge red flag.  Makes me question why they support someone so unethical.   In the end, I give them the benefit of the doubt because both candidates have flaws.

 

[squistion]

Jeremy DiamondVerified account ‏@JDiamond1 9m9 minutes ago

.@realDonaldTrump's campaign will NOT release statement disavowing Mark Foley, 2 campaign sources tell me:

Many people are saying this confirms the NAMBLA tax returns story is true. I don't believe that for a second because Snopes debunked that accusation as being completely false - but, still, many people are saying it.

 

[elbowrm]

Her likelihood of inadvertently starting world war 3 or causing a 1,200 point drop in the Dow is orders of magnitude lower than the Donald's.  That represents 100% of the criteria for my vote in this putrid election.

yeah, I think a vocal supporter of either candidate should be embarrassed by now. We will all lose in November, no matter the outcome.

 

[The General]

So, in their effort to put a "diverse looking group" back there and selecting from, I would guess, a sea of old white people Foley was picked randomly?  Seems statistically improbable.

Trump said "When you get those seats, you sort of know the campaign."

He filled the nice looking guy who is not raging angry with grey hair demo. They didn't know who he was, just was extra funny because literally all day the Fox News people were crying about Hillary's crowd.

Trump can't get out of his own way.

What percentage of people in here raging against Trump are avid Hillary supporters?

 

[TobiasFunke]

This is like meeting up with two of your friends and one of them has his zipper down and the other is wearing silk panties on his head and chugging rancid donkey #### out of a beer stein and saying "you guys are both really embarrassing us."

 

[knowledge dropper]

I tried to say that 20 pages ago but the Hillary crew on here is awful.  Sad thing is both sides will stonewall a viable third party and our country has become too stupid for anyone to mount a viable write in candidate.

And it could all have been explained away like Hillary's campaign did, but then Trump just had to say something...

Sorry, I can't see how anyone will be proud to pull the lever for Hillary in November. The only excuse is that she isn't Trump.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I went and reviewed the Mark Foley thing. He started creeping on dudes when they were 16, but it appears he didn't actually get with any of them until they were 18.

Mark Foley tells Sean Hannity ‘sexting’ children should be legal

 

[NutterButter]

i always love the trump crew fallback of saying that both candidates are equally flawed like they're anywhere in the same universe.

 

[Skoo]

Have to disagree here, and I see a lot of people saying similar things. "Well, they're both bad, but I can't stand Hillary so I'm voting Trump".

I am not a big Hillary fan by any means, but they are not close to equally bad. All political leanings aside, one of the two candidates is extremely well-qualified for the job and the other is wildly unqualified.

To go back to your analogy, it's like meeting up with two of your friends and one shows up un-showered with stains on his clothes and the other is trying to have sex with a squirrel.

Yeah, they're both bad but not to the same degree.

Let's get this guy plenty of airtime for the next 3 months.

Isn't that what TF was trying to say?

 

[roadkill1292]

This was kinda my point. Hispanics shouldn't automatically be assumed to be Democrats, except that the GOP has chosen to actively drive them away.

Totes agreed. Now add in hostility to AAs (lol at the "North Carolina African-American Voter Suppression Act," as another board put it), gays and millennials who largely believe that the GOP is their grandparents' party with no idea about what's really going on out there and you have a political party that is only winning friends in a diminishing demographic.

Maybe Trump's Diversity Coalition Board will put a big dent in that.

 

[TobiasFunke]

Yup, that's what I was trying to say.  I thought my analogy was more colorful, but the image of squirrel####ing is pretty solid.

 

[roadkill1292]

For no other reason than because of that 'do, right? Right?

I have no idea 

 

[Skoo]

Yeah I definitely misread that one.

Should've known, was probably the first time I disagreed with one of your posts.

(I really just wanted a chance to get that image in everyone's heads)

 

[randall146]

I keep hearing that Trump supporters eat children.  Can someone confirm this?

That crosses the line - a family I'm friends with had 3 children eaten and they suffer every day! Disgusting. 

 

[TobiasFunke]

Not gonna lie, I'm gonna miss this guy so much. Off the charts unintentional comedy every day.  Even the stuff that goes under the radar is tremendous:
 

HH: All right, let me move on, then. Clinton is using against you an ad called Too Dangerous. I’ve seen it. If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it 20 times already. Are you too dangerous to be president, Donald Trump?

DT: No, the opposite. She is. If you look at her, and you listen to the Secret Service agent that wrote the book, she’s a mess, a total mess. And she’ll do an event, and then you don’t hear from her. I think she goes home, she goes to sleep. You do, you follow her, just follow where she goes, and you know, she’ll see, she’ll do an event, she’ll make a short speech off a teleprompter, and then she goes home and goes to sleep. I tell you, she is dangerous.

So she does an event, and then you don't hear from her and she goes to sleep, and then she'll make a speech, and then she'll go home and go to sleep again ... what part of that is dangerous?

Hillary is the MVP of ISIS.



That is 9-D Chess right there.

You mean...him lying again and his supporters being goofy enough to believe what he says?

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

I think the GOP's best chance to remain competitive nationally (i.e. for President) over the long run is to move to a more live and let live posture on social issues, with a pro-market, fiscally conservative message economically. Gary Johnson, who is running as a Libertarian, but is really a libertarian-lite candidate, already is out-polling Trump among millenials, despite his lack of name recognition. Some of that is surely due to how noxious Trump is, but it also reflects the fact that among the younger generation, the "culture wars" are a losing issue politically.
 

The problem for the GOP is that in the here and now (and especially down-ticket in some regions, particularly the South), socially liberal/fiscally conservative (for lack of a better term) doesn't fly. Look at Trump's enthusiastic supporters, they are basically the opposite of that. And the platform that the RNC put out looks like it was almost designed specifically to alienate younger voters.

So the GOP faces the choice of retaining its hold on the House under its current formulation, but facing a bleak longer-term future, or positioning itself for the future, but dealing with major upheaval because large chunks of its base can't accept that it isn't 1956 any more.

I have no stake in the future of the GOP. I haven't called myself a Republican in a long time. I probably won't ever again. But I would like to have a viable option to counter the Democrats, especially as the leftist Sanders wing of the party gains more voice within that party. I'd be just as happy if there was a viable third party for me to vote for, but the entire system is designed in a way that prevents a third party from realy gaining any traction.

apparently this is the new campaign strategy. accuse Hillary of being well rested.

 

[sho nuff]

I don't think there's any correlation here. Trump has been antiestablishment and beat the snot out of 17 establishment candidates to get where he is.

Its funny that..

-you still actually think he is antiestablishment

-that the general election and primary are the same thing

Trump's diversity training

Mark Foley tells Sean Hannity ‘sexting’ children should be legal

This coincides with the Trump/NAMBLA thing perfectly. Almost too perfectly. I mean, just imagine Trump sitting around last week, thinking to himself, "What can I do to finally sabotage my campaign? I know! I'll hire some guy on Reddit to create a bot that links me to NAMBLA, then I'll have a child molester sit behind me at one of my speeches, then I'll have that child molester go on national TV and defend sex predators!"

The full quote here is even better. More WINNING! More Russia. Then even more Russia.

She is. If you look at her, and you listen to the Secret Service agent that wrote the book, she’s a mess, a total mess. And she’ll do an event, and then you don’t hear from her. I think she goes home, she goes to sleep. You do, you follow her, just follow where she goes, and you know, she’ll see, she’ll do an event, she’ll make a short speech off a teleprompter, and then she goes home and goes to sleep. I tell you, she is dangerous. And as far as temperament’s concerned, you know, I’ve always been, I’ve always been, it’s always been stated that I have the great temperament, because I have a winning temperament. I’ve been winning all my life. And that’s what I do, is win. And that’s what we have to do for our country on trade deals. We have to rebuild our military. It’s totally depleted, as you know very well. We have to take care of our vets. We have so many things to do, it’s incredible. And we’re not a respected country. And you look at different countries, Russia hates us, they really dislike Obama so much, and other countries like China taking advantage of us, building a massive fortress in the South China Sea. You take a look at that, and you say how is that happening? And we can solve the problems. We can solve the problems easy. And then you look at the big problem where we have no growth. You look at it, I mean, look at the numbers that just came out. We have no growth. You know, Russia, if they have 7% or 8%, it’s like a national catastrophe. So they devalue and they do lots of other things, and they get back on track, much to our expense, by the way.

 

[crnerblitz]

Tell anymore rape jokes you lately? Oh who is the sack of blank now ? 

We know. You know. We know you know. We know. Your silence on Mark Foley speaks louder than your actions of lashing out hatefully at others. 

Hypocrite.  We know.

 

[WheelsUp]

I find the humor in that people want to knock Hillary for what ever made up reason.
Emails and Benghazi controversy or Racism, bankruptcies, ignorant, man who wants to sleep with his child, embarrassment, disrespectful, fear mongering and so on?
The decision is pretty easy, let alone not even a competition unless you hold out hope as a racist.

 

[sho nuff]

I don't think I know anybody personally who supports him. I suspect I have some acquaintances who might vote for him out of blind partisan anti-Clinton spite, but they aren't shouting it from the rooftops, that is for sure. 

But that is just a function of my social circle, I'm sure. I just don't hang around with unemployed coal miners that much, nor do I spend a lot of time talking conspiracies with old timers at the VFW hall. 

My father in law does...and a few others from college.  All are basiclaly straight party line R voters with firm dislike/hatred of Hillary.

2 of the more conservative people I know...that are typically all republican...can't stand Trump and will in no way support him.  They also happen to be two of the smarter people I know.

 

[urbanhack]

I have no idea 

Cool.

 

[TobiasFunke]

The full quote here is even better. More WINNING! More Russia. Then even more Russia.

All he does is win!  At this point there's gotta be at least a 50% chance that at some point he's gonna come on stage lip-syncing the DJ Khaled song, right?  God I hope that happens. If he does it I might have to vote for him.

 

[sho nuff]

Many people are saying that HellToupee has been reduced to insulting other posters now because deep down even he knows that Trump is an indefensible sack of ####.

Now?  He has been doing that since the beginning.

 

[WheelsUp]

If filing for bankruptcy and divorce winning? Is closing business on steaks, planes, vodka, Trump U., casinos and a football league winning?
Are we going by Charlie Sheen winning terms, or real winning terms?

 

[sho nuff]

And yet we have laws that make no such distinction. And laws that treat an 18 year old who sleeps with his 17 year old girlfriend like a child molestor, for life.

something a certain Trump supporter never had to worry about.
