Man, it must really be tougher to get real news in Poland than I thought.  It's taken this long to get "Oliver Stone is a conspiracy goof" there all they way from 1991?  Rocks don't take that long to travel.

There was a leftwing dude in my office in my previous job who quoted Stone's HBO documentary like bible verse.  Had some fun conversations with that guy.

Well, who cares. Another Muslim just blew up shit in New York. Trump will win no matter what.

I'm sure you did.  Because fostering hostile work environments to validate preconceived political beliefs is fun.

He and I actually got along great.  Still go to lunch with him every month or so.

Which is really a more terrifying thing. How is the man who knows more than our generals about Isis going to be prepared to actually handle anything to do with terrorism? His not workable plan of banning Muslims?

Some of my best friends eat lunch.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I don't get it.  Is Seedy saying I don't generally get along well with people with opposing political viewpoints?

Yes, using a "some of my best friends are black" analogy. This is Seedy being Seedy. :P

Can Clinton sue Trump for defamation?

She'd have to prove actual malice.  Jaw-dropping ignorance is a defense.
