Re: Election 2016 Thread
AP just called Pennsylvania for Trump, putting him over the top!
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

What are the long term costs of inequality and lack of education? We just got one lesson with more to come.

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Time to redirect our attention to more important things, such as Brangelina.

Re: Election 2016 Thread
Is it all of a sudden a bad thing to "threaten the world order?"
I remember not too long ago that the rank-and-file Democrats were very much in favor of shaking up the world order, and pushing for "real change" so that the existing power structures would be toppled. What was Occupy Wall Street all about? Preservation of the world order? What about all the protests of G-20 activities? The protests were to preserve the world order?
LOL - can't have change now, the world order was just fine. Let's not threaten that order. It must be preserved now.

Yes, this is not fear mongering. This is a quite reasonable assessment of the situation.

Re: Election 2016 Thread
Such rhetoric....
This kind of hate speech can incite people to take action against Trump. Should this kind of speech even be legal? It sets a tone that gives permissions to the crazies to take violent action against Trump.

In civilized countries, the editorial columns are on the front page of the news sections of newspapers.

Re: Election 2016 Thread
I wonder if the Obama Administration will leave with class, or will they do what the Clinton Administration did and walk off with White House furniture and cutlery, and steal keys off the computer keyboards and leave obscene messages on voicemail machines, and such?
The Clinton staffers left images of President Bush depicted as a chimpanzee. I wonder if the Obama staffers will do the same for Trump when his staff moves in.
