2016 elections - because it's never too early

[celedhring]

So were ancient Romans and Greeks. Yet we still enjoy the fruit of their labour. I doubt today's precious sensitive little snowflakes would be able to match their achievements.

And I'd very much dislike if there were a group of people about now acting like ancient Romans/Greeks and/or lamenting that people don't act like those ancient peoples.

For 95% of the population, living in Ancient Greece or Rome sucked donkey balls. So I'll take the hipsters.

To kickoff run up to the debate, Trump points out that CNN is the clinton new network and Anderson Cooper can't be trusted to be a fair moderator.

He has a point.

Only on the top of his head.

Trump: Obama 'Was Born in the United States, Period'

I like this:

"Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy," Mr. Trump said. "I finished it."

Cannot he not just be finished on a topic? Also, why can't he even make a simple statement without lying?

See, this is why Trump will win. All his critics on the left/liberal side of the media immediately jump the ship when they can get him on their shows to boost ratings.

Typical 90's grunge song. Everyone in flannel. Typical 90's grunge song. Something from Seattle.

So apparently now just wearing a MAGA hat is a microaggression:

"Today (Wednesday) I got into an altercation with a guy wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat. I went up and asked him if he would take the hat off, explaining a university should be a safe space," she said.

"It was impossible to communicate to him why wearing a hat in support of a movement grown on the seeds of racism, bigotry and exclusion of diversity (sexual and cultural) could make some people afraid," she added.

The woman involved in the dispute, Zoe Slusar, told Postmedia in a written statement Thursday that: "He is allowed to wear the hat."

"As a student, I disagree with what the hat represents," she said. "I have diverse friends (culturally and sexually) who would drop a class if the person wearing the hat was sitting in the room with them, because they would feel unsafe. Given the deeper issues of intolerance and oppression represented by the hat, I disagree with it."

Yes, but he basically spends most of his time telling his viewers that Trump is a new Hitler. And then he invites him on the show and playfully tussles his hair. This is why Trump will win - because people will not take the liberal doomsayers seriously.

I'm not convinced that people are using shows like Fallon's to decide how they should vote. He's not even pretending to be a political show.

I mean, I don't hate Trump as a person but do think he's shown nothing that would make him competent for the US. We'd be give us a Brexit sort of blow which isn't a death spiral but also certainly brings us no positives.

Ah you mean when they were all racist and sexist? What a golden age!

You mean the era when college educated white men thoroughly controlled the power structures of the country, and passed the civil rights act and instituted affirmative action?
