It keeps Trump's name in the headlines yet again and feeds into his "the media is dishonest" narrative, given that he disavowed him just days before.

There's a chance a Trump 3rd party candidacy will run up the score for down ticket R candidates.

lol if you think Trump or the Trumpenteriat see a KKK endorsement as an inherently bad thing. This dumb country is on incredibly thin ice and needs de-escalation from all sides, but instead we're going to see openly racist Donald J Trump pick up 40-50% of the popular vote (or more!).

The melting pot is giving way to Balkanizaton, and thats being praised as a good thing.

Nah they like to have other books on their self too, they just don't read them either.

I would love to see the documentation of all the reasons why they granted the mother custody, other than billo being a surly shitlord who probably gets his rocks off emotionally abusing his children.

How did someone as loathsome in looks and personality as Cruz, who inspires instant dislike in anyone he interacts with for more than five minutes, ever become a US Senator or one of the top three candidates for a major party's presidential nomination?

An Ivy League school is changing "masters degrees" to a different title because they think it's offensive. Because it has the word "masters" in it.

Being anti PC (aka a normal human being) is not about "oh no I can't say racist things now"

See, there is a large contingent of people on the internet who would want to see me unemployed and/or dead for my views. These people are the problem.

If you're a black male, you have a much higher chance of growing up in an impoverished environment, attending poo poo schools, and having few meaningful opportunities for gainful employment than you do of being shot by the police. Yeah, getting shot by the police is bad, but minority communities in the U.S. suffer more from material deprivation than from systemic racism. Of course, systemic racism makes things worse, but it wasn't like those capitalists who decided to move their factories from Detroit did so for racial reasons.

Oftentimes their second choice is Cruz, these people are totally unhinged and any ability the GOP had to pull back from the brink might be legitimately gone

Trump wins 51%+ of R delegates and gets nomination.

Hilldog wins 51% of D delegates and gets nomination.

Hilldog wins 400+ EC votes in GE.

Republicans spend 2 weeks publishing soul searching "think pieces" before concluding democracy is overrated because how could any system be good and right if they elected either Trump or Hilldog?

Racist dumbshits and banker libertarian god kings continue to complain for the next 25 years about how no one listens to them.

Rest of the world adopts the "NYC System" where the D primary is the real election and GE is just a rubber stamp. Rs get no more than 20% for the next 50 years.

Like really this is not that hard.

Yeah whether trump gets ratfucked or not depends a lot on what happens in the next 2 month

If Trump manages to calm his antics and make himself at least look like he isn't going to destroy the party then maybe he gets the nod.

One more round of trying to say he has a hotter wife than his opponents and yeah he's done

the only solution to anything in the middle east is to send in diplomats like medieval people were sending in crusaders and trying to rebuild that poo poo from the ground up, town by town, systematically establishing small independent polities based on the public and their interests, and putting heavy oversight on the interactions of those nations, encouraging unions where it's advantageous, establishing infrastructure and trade on the whole as a sort of league function, and just overall spending a ton of money and many decades unfucking every last one of the billions of fuckups made there

this is never happening because it's hard and we might as well give up right now because nobody likes doing hard things, so we just kind of have to deal with how israel is not going away, palestine is falling apart at the seams, and people who have bitter religious and cultural disputes will just have to live with each other for the greater good or else probably end up dying from things like there being no water or food

My Syrian friends would agree with this sentiment (they're Christians who came here years ago because it was too dangerous to remain among their countrymen who were adherents of the peace-loving religion of Islam).

this actually isn't a good argument on the nonviolence of the muslims

rakovsky maybe posted:

We do have a fair portion rising up. South America isn't ruled by stateless Catholic terror army nor is East Asia by a roving band of Buddhists. Only areas with Islam seem to have this problem, to this degree, over and over again. And yes ISIS kills other muslims but they generally regard them as heretics. The narcissism of small differences and all that.

Look, when you have nine bodies hanged from a bridge in Mexico, it is nobler than hanging nine people from a bridge in Syria because the people hanging in Mexico were hanged because of drugs, while the people in Syria were hanged because of religion. If you don't see how the former is more virtuous, then I don't know what to tell you!

I specifically said "to this degree, over and over again". Obviously the human capacity for violence is a commonality worldwide. But only Islam encourages it in the manner it does. Pretending otherwise is willing blindness. Check out Oiled and Ready's infographics for more details.


I'm just sure that nearly half of all Catholics believe you should be killed for leaving the faith. I feel it in my heart.

rakovsky maybe posted:

This is a cowardly thing to say. A "fair number"? You could probably find like, 30 in the US tops. Definitely not even remotely comparable to the number of muslims who think death should be the penalty for apostasy.
