To be fair, his was straight up "Ur racist fer trump", whereas mine, I gave a lovely demonstration of where I seen these idiots, where I've debated them and essentially where the general conscientious lies with "young voters", specifically with Feel Teh Bern. And seeing how they seem to be the deadweight of the democratic party, I think my assessment was fair given my examples, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the fact that he and his campaign has single-handedly thrown the entire GOP establishment into one of the biggest (and hilarious) existential crisis's I've ever seen from such a major political entity, and one that quite it frankly needs. If he's an outsider then why is he a part of one of two parties with almost identical backers? It's not like the Republicans were forced for accept him into their ranks.

So there's no way to get thrown out of a party in US? With all of his business connections I still wouldn't say he's an outsider, at least to the business establishment which ultimately has more say in politics than voters do. I daresay that even if he gets in he won't go against the grain too much (apart from being loudmouthed); he's probably learned the lesson of JFK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as how he would effectively steal half of the Republican party's voter base and more or less guarantee a Democrat presidency, that's not really an option. Also it would set a horrific precedent that would fuck up things all around. That's why the GOP has been panicking trying to kick him out of the race as "legitimately" as they can, even if it's pretty much too late outside of a miracle in the Republican convention.

Strongbob Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 If the RNC were smart they'd televise the convention on pay-per-view and advertise it like a wrestling match. It could be quite a spectacle. I can't wait to see Donald Trump hit Mitt Romney over the head with a folding chair. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it'd make more sense to get him to play ball through his business connections. No smart businessman would turn their back on their associates as a politician (eg raise minimum wage / worker's conditions significantly, cancel TPP/TTIP, close business tax loopholes, etc). Personally I wouldn't mind him getting in, he appears to be quite the comedian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundeere Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I chose to stop getting involved in politics. Kasich is the only reasonable guy, but his ideas aren't popular, so he doesn't stand a chance. Everyone either wants Sanders because free college, or Trump because Trump. Cruz is so focused on bashing Trump, half the time he doesn't even say anything useful. Clinton...should be in prison. She was handing out secrets like a horny college student does with herpies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalletFace Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 3 hours ago, Saxon said: ...There are states you can't own chickens or bees in? There are states that ban the international importation of certain chicken and bee varieties - which is redundant because the federal government already does that - but there are no states that outright ban the ownership of all bees and chickens to all people that I can discover. Counties usually don't ban bees or chickens, either. They usually require permits or registration to legally own chickens or bees, though. Zoning districts sometimes ban chickens, but they rarely ban bees. As an interesting addition, I believe my state does ban the importation of all bee semen. The federal government allows some, but my state would have no part in the bee semen trade. 17 minutes ago, Rassah said: I think they only allowed bees in Maryland a few years ago, after the whole "colony collapse will mean no more food!!!" thing happened. Since the Central Maryland Beekeepers Association and the Maryland State Beekeepers Association have been around longer than that, I doubt it. The notion of underground beekeeping societies is an interesting thought, though. You may be thinking of the origin of movements to change zoning laws that too easily allow bees and to outlaw pesticides that harm bees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
