US Election 2020

[Sean Hayden]

The problem of the "tyranny of the majority" reminds me of the old line about not liking "taxation without representation", to which the Brits were fond of asking: well, how do you like it with representation?

It's just fucking grand being tyrannized by the worst the country has to offer, innit?

It gets weirder.

Donald Trump calls Pope Francis “disgraceful” after he says Trump is not a Christian.

Even funnier, from the same Twitter feed, a Fox News contributor states that Pope Francis needs to ask Trump’s forgiveness for implying Trump is not a Christian.

I'd like to know how American catholics divide in terms of voting Democrat or Republican...

[Tero]

Catholics are mostly Democrats. Think Kennedy.

[JimC]

So, telling the pope to fuck off won't cost him many votes, or may even gain him some amongst certain types of protestants who hate catholics...

Sarah says Trump will win, like millions of Republicans think.

"I think the president feels, like many Americans, that it's not going to matter, because he's going to win on Election Day," she told Fox News.

He's a parody of a politician when he tries to do the talking-without-saying thing, because he's simply not a politician - he's a spoilt rich kid who thinks respect is everybody hanging on his every word as well believing he's absolutely entitled to fulfil whatever whim or fancy bubbles up and floats across his forebrain.

He's got a forebrain?

If those responsible for removing a would be dictator from office fail to do so, then that's carte blanche to revolt, and everybody is free to take their shot. I sincerely hope that we can count on global support to remove him from office should he lose and refuse to leave.

--talk about an insane discussion!

It would really be up to the US military, I'd imagine. If they want him removed, he'll be removed. If they don't get involved, who's going to send their military against the might of the US military?

Catholics are mostly Democrats. Think Kennedy.

Is it still the case? Back then, they were democrats by default because repugs would not receive well anybody who wasn't a good protestant... Now that they may have gained establishment acceptance, I'd guess that some of them might be leaning republican...

I mean, how many catholics are there in SCOTUS?

He's got any kind of brain?

A minority of Catholics are Republicans, like this judge to be:
"We'll be saying this name a lot I'm sure because she's a f---ing nut," Maher said. "Religion -- I was right about that one too. I'm sorry, but Amy [Coney] Barrett, Catholic -- really Catholic. I mean really, really Catholic -- like speaking in tongues. Like she doesn't believe in condoms, which is what she has in common with Trump because he doesn't either. I remember that from Stormy Daniels."

The 7 dumped Trump votes were never tossed out of the building. They can still be counted. However, the feds should never be involved in vote handling.

I don't know precisely who bill maher is, but ign'ant is part of the picture. REALLY catholic people don't believe in speaking in tongues, that kind of crap is the province of borderline* crazy protestant denoms.




* I say borderline because I don't have enough data to positively assert they are completely crazy, though I'd guess that's what they are.

[NineBerry]

Catholics believe people speak in tongues when they are possessed by demons...
