#1701 Re: The Garden » Terrorist Attack @ Pulse in Orlando » 518 weeks ago
This guy should not have had access to buying a weapon. Anyone on a terror watch list should not be able to buy a weapon. Or anyone who is placed on a list by hospitals, doctors and families with mental disorders. Anyone convicted of a violent crime. Or a chicken shit woman abuser or pedophile. And I'm a gun owner.
Obama just talked about this last week with a gun shop owner in a town hall setting. They (the government) have their eyes on terrorist sympathizers, but despite this these assholes are still able to get their hands on high powered weapons with ease.
I think that's what we're seeing here, just like in San Bernardino. They see a weakness to exploit and use it to their advantage. Any asshole in this country can get a weapon that can kill dozens in a matter of moments.

I don't think it'll be Castro. And Trump has been the Democrats best weapon. All they have to do is replay his dumb outlandish statements. I just can't see anyway he can win. He has no money and the Clinton machine pretty much kills him in organization and the ground game. Oh and he seems to do really stupid shit on a daily basis.
The NY Times just ran a piece about how he ran his casinos into the ground in Atlantic City. I've always felt that his "business acumen" has been vastly overated.
Who do you think it might be?
Trump has what appears to be endless issues to be scrutinized on top of whatever comes out of his mouth. It's quite remarkable. The Trump U debacle alone is really pretty scummy. It reminds me of that saying: The strong take from the weak and the smart take from the strong. It's not like he needed the money, he just saw an opportunity to take some, and took it. Just like he saw an opportunity now...

Closed primaries have to do with party members not wanting non party members determining their primaries.
Makes sense to me.
#1705 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 518 weeks ago
If I entered Trumps mind I would win this shit so easy. But he can't control himself. I see a total implosion coming.
Well the political winds change direction on a dime. Today may not look too good, but tomorrow is another day.
Trump does need a handler (maybe you could apply if an opening appears), but what makes him Trump is that he doesn't have a handler. The good is also the bad.

I thought you were a big Trump fan? You're not going to vote now? Even for the House?
#1707 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 518 weeks ago
I never hear about red necks or young conservatives shutting down speakers they disagree with or blocking traffic.
Rednecks showed up at Town Halls all across this country during the healthcare debate and essentially shut them down with screaming and yelling.
And while I certainly don't support this violent behavior at all, no Democratic candidate has ever gotten up and said we should deport all Rednecks, stop them from fucking their sisters, and then suggested that perhaps a few Rednecks were OK after all. I can only imagine what would happen if Hillary said that.
Regardless of how you feel about Mexicans, the majority of them overwhelmingly come here and work their asses off. In fact I won't hire white boys anymore for jobs. Know why? Because they don't fucking show up. No show, no call all day long. Mexicans always show up, do the job, no attitude and thank me for the work. These people take a lot of shit, and are exploited by major corporations, landlords, small business owners etc etc. They build our homes, clean our pools, cook our food, mow our lawns, take care of our kids, pick our fruit and all the other dirty jobs nobody wants to do anymore. Is it really a surprise that a small group of these people (who already get zero respect and are constantly scapegoated) are going to become violent when you call them rapists, and murderers? Probably not.

Trump's words already coming back to beat him up, the GOP is furious with him right now. And this is only the beginning. He'll keep saying stupid shit until he implodes.
Likewise Hillary's foreign policy speech pointed out the true dangers of a Trump presidency, relying on his words to make her points. They're going to do this non stop until election day. But then again, so will Trump. His strengths are also clearly is Achilles heel.

I think we'll get new music. I find it difficult to believe that they'd come this far (getting back together) and not create new music. Slash and Duff always seem to be creating something, even if Axl is not.

The Bernie people have been violent as fuck the past month or so
I wouldn't count them exclusively as "Bernie" people.
The recent protests at San Jose really piss me off. These are angry Latinos who got really out of control demonstrating Trump. I don't think any liberal would ever condone this type of behavior. I know I sure do not. And everybody from the Democratic party has said violence has no place in this election. Nobody should be physically assaulted for supporting any candidate, and what these assholes did was wrong. But to say these are "Bernie people" is not very accurate.
Violence will yield zero results. They'd be much better off registering to vote and participating in our election process.
