Ways 2016 Was Insane (1 Viewer)

The Republicans wanted Clinton removed from office. Now they are ok with it...because it's their (flawed) candidate. 
Exactly -- complete hypocrisy.  Kind of like the people who were okay with Clinton because he was in their party, but suddenly rediscovered the seriousness of sexual harassment when it's some guy from the other party.

And so, what is your point?   Both parties are equally hypocritical and both parties are responsible for lowering the standards to the point we are getting turds for candidates.  

 
Yes, the Presidential election was a joke, both parties are a mess and our politics are a nightmare. I think we have that covered.

There are plenty of other crazy things in 2016 we can talk about. Like the alligator that ate a kid at Disney World.

My point is that YOU are acting hypocritically. You want change, stop acting like the turds you're voting for. Be the change.

 
Who the #### do you think I voted for?  Hint:  It wasn't Trump. 
There were no great options in this general election.  Every single one of them was a turd, just one of them had a great deal of experience and an actual workable policy plan for everything that might occur in the next four years.

Only if you agree with her policy of expansive government and filling the court with a fifth flaming liberal judge.  But yeah, Trump is a real stinker in a lot of areas and a complete wild card and loose canon in others.  My dream was they both would have lost.

Gary Johnson was a foreign policy moron with useless "ideas" and Jill Stein was an insane weirdo.  I guess if you voted for McMullen you voted for a stand up guy though.

Also, I didn't say "great policy" I said "workable policy".  I don't agree with everything she wanted to do, but at least it wasn't insane.

I thought the Republican coup of the Supreme Court was pretty insane.  And people just went right along with it with no worries about precedent or fallout.  Here you had the most powerful court in the world, and a group of elected officials basically overthrew it in broad daylight and people just shrugged.

Interesting fact - sexual harassment and sexual assault are actually different things. 

 
A recently released YouGov poll indicates that 46% of Trump voters believed that Clinton emails referenced pedophilia and sex trafficking.

   The idea that John Podesta and the Clintons are involved in a satanic child sex-trafficking ring being run out of pizza parlors is a 50/50 proposition among Republicans and a nearly 25 percent proposition on the left, huh? Well, good to know. That’s common ground for the two sides to build on.

The poll I saw was 46% to 17%.  What are you looking at?

 
Political debate ended.  No fun anymore. 

Me and my Step-father on Xmas Eve.  I'm liberal he is a Trump-guy.

Me:  I'm confused why Trump is so close to Russia.  A year ago Republicans were rubbing it in Democrats face that Russia was a real threat.  Romney was right.  Remember?  Now Trump is lashing out at nearly every country except the the one who meddled with our election.

Me:  I'm not saying Putin swayed the election but he did try.  Will you admit that?

SF:  No.

Me:  Well the CIA agrees with me.  John McCain..  Even P. Ryan and M. Mcconnell want to investigate on their own terms. 

SF:  The CIA cannot be trusted.  Ryan and Mcconnell?  We want to get rid of those types.  Why we voted Trump.  They rubber-stamped everything Obama did the past eight years.  They passed budgets....

Their is no agree to disagree or see it from my point of view.  Since Trump won they believe they are vindicated and every one of their inclinations was right all along.  

It's a complete bore talking to these people.

Why pull this on Christmas Eve?

 
Being accused of something, and being on tape stating that you actually did it (and having women come forth to confirm) are also two different things.  
It was a credible rape accusation.  Splitting hairs to try to make one worse than the other.  They have both contributed to lowering the expected behavior of presidential candidates to pond scum. 

 
Boy am I glad political threads aren't allowed here anymore.
Are they?  There is nothing pinned or no announcement.  Dodds has made some statements about catchall threads that was embedded in a thread which has since been deleted(?) or locked.  Where is this new policy or is it something that is going to be randomly administered and an ever changing target based on the whim of the site owners?   You would think if they were to make major changes they might actually announce it and pin it somewhere where posters could actually read and understand what the policy is.

No.  Read my post again.  One was an accusation.  The other was and admission.   I agree that both are disgusting human beings.

2016: insane in the membrane

@henryford... i love you, but please stop. This thread shouldn't devolve into yet another political debate... Keep it insane, please.

 
Oh well. Not just Henry. All the usual suspects conspiring to ruin what they can because the can't help themselves.

 
The Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, losing Game 7 at home, after going 73-9 in the regular season.
Everyone who works with the Cavs got their own ring too. I have a gal on twitter who was over the moon about getting hers, even though it literally goes from knuckle to knuckle. :lmao:

Sorry, missed this because the tag didn't work.

Not trying to devolve into political debate.  Happy to return to things like:

Bill Cosby was arrested for felony sexual assault.

Because another comedian got heckled. The origin of the outing might even be crazier.
