286 Electoral Votes. I personally would've added Virginia just to make sure. So, thread, I'm pretty sure that you've seen the famous Young Conservative poster saying "Hang Nelson Mandela". But that was back in the eighties! Surely they've learnt no-  Oh.

Enjoy posted:The longer I live on this gay earth the more understanding I am of Stalin and pals Understanding that Communism isn't the greatest evil known to man is one thing, but Stalin was a murderous, paranoid rear end in a top hat. My "favorite" story of him was when he was getting warning of a german invasion, and he was so goddamn off his rocker he thought that it was nothing more than an allied plot to get him to invade Germany. When he was actually invaded by the Germans, he was somehow caught totally off guard and vanished for two weeks while his army, which had suffered such extensive purges that the only qualification that its officers had was that they were loyal to Stalin, was slaughtered. And then when he came back, he had all the officers that had the good sense to fall back shot for cowardice. What I'm saying is gently caress Stalin.

Who can forget the Uncle Joe parenting method! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Dzhugashvili quote:While Stalin and his wife were arguing about this a shot was heard from Yakov's room. Yakov had shot himself. While she tended to his wounds and sent for a doctor all his father said was, "He can't even shoot straight."[2] quote:Dzhugashvili served as an artillery officer in the Red Army and was captured on 16 July 1941[5] in the early stages of the German invasion of USSR at the Battle of Smolensk. The Germans later offered to exchange Yakov for Friedrich Paulus, the German Field Marshal captured by the Soviets after the Battle of Stalingrad, but Stalin turned the offer down, allegedly saying "I will not trade a Marshal for a Lieutenant".[6]  ЗА СТАЛИНА!

Tiler Kiwi posted:which had suffered such extensive purges that the only qualification that its officers had was that they were loyal to Stalin Such vile lies! The indefatiguable Red Army was gloriously led by heroes like Grigory Kulik:  quote:tendency to condemn technological advancements as "bourgeois sabotage" quote:campaign to develop the Red Army's mechanized forces ... Kulik successfully argued against the change, suggesting in a letter to Stalin that such attitudes showed an unhealthy ideological sympathy with the "degenerate fascist ideology" quote:He also disparaged using minefields as a defensive measure, considering it at odds with a properly aggressive strategy and calling it "a weapon of the weak." quote:Kulik similarly scorned the German issuance of the MP-40 submachine gun to their shock troops as a "bourgeois fascist affectation", stating that it encouraged inaccuracy and excessive ammo consumption among the rank and file. He forbade issuance of the PPD-40 to his units quote:presided over heavy Soviet defeats that resulted in the city of Leningrad being surrounded quote:a bizarre personal command motto he dubbed "Jail or Medal"; those under his command were either showered with (usually unearned) awards and decorations if he favored them, or simply arrested and sent to the Gulag He was a master of Red Army strategy and tactics, his leadership an inspiration to all.

It was a joke  Stalin killed military leaders that would probably halt the Germans before Ukraine, his rise to power was the biggest disaster in human history.

 Karl Gebhardt, SS doctor, butcher, war criminal, yet a hero of the anti-fascist struggle if not by design. Gebhardt was the incompetent failure of a doctor Heinrich Himmler personally appointed to treat Reinhard Heydrich after the latter's almost successful assassination in Prague. Heydrich reacted to the doctor's expert care by dying of sepsis.

It would be an obvious abuse of his position of power for personal gain that'd likely be political suicide if, say, a politician in a democratic country did it.

If we're talking about the 47% who pay no taxes, a large number of them are Republican, so it's a bullshit point on its face. "Taxpayers" aren't exclusively republican, and as a taxpayer who pays a higher percentage of his income to the government than Mitt Romney does, I should know. E; gently caress, just realized this is the pics thread and not the stupid forwards thread. Here, have a pic:

I am going to light off fireworks in the street on election night. gently caress those fuckers so hard.  This is a black cat. His name is Hal. If voters were cats, Hal would be one cat that the GOP would be actively trying to keep away from a ballot.  Desmond is a cat which sports a mix of brown and black color, and is seen napping, to boot. Desmond is another type of cat the GOP would want to keep from the polls, would that voters be cats. Additionally, Desmond is a cat the GOP secretly wants to euthanize because he's a mixture of all things they hate.

I'm pretty sure this is a joke - I remember seeing this on Tumblr.  For context, Australian Liberal Party (actually the conservative party) Senator Cory Bernardi recently made a speech against same-sex marriage in Parliament in which he claimed it would lead to people marrying animals.

The National Archives posted:For the DOCUMERICA Project, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hired freelance photographers to capture images relating to environmental problems, EPA activities, and everyday life in the 1970s.  The National Archives posted:For his DOCUMERICA assignment, Jack Corn focused his lens on the plight of the American coal miner, capturing images of the many lives touched by unsafe working conditions, low wages and black lung disease. Here is the gallery for those interested. I travel through a lot of these former coal towns for work, and these photos are just more evidence they're land long forgotten. The decay of industry and isolation from the world is heartbreaking out there. Just imagine if the EPA and other agencies were able to hire photojournalists and writers with stimulus money and put people to work. Oh well.
