Jeff Sessions, noted snowflake, needs a safe space.
Ok, ianal, but wouldn’t this open his record to examination to justify the laugh?
“Well, duh, no wonder you didn’t find any new life in that jar of peanut butter. We haven’t hit it with lightning yet. Now go stand over there and hold the peanut butter and we’ll throw some lightning at it, and I guarantee you’ll see proof of how evolution works”.

As a former environmental engineer, I’d just like to point out that the second law of thermodynamics only applies to a closed system, which means one without external energy. Well, that large ball of fire that rises every morning is why the second law doesn’t apply in general to the earth. Assuming you believe in the sun, that is.
Yeah, I had that same thought. I explained to my wife: “He’s kinda right, but it only applies to a closed system… like his mind.”
Dr. Ben Carson - “Look at these poors with their TVs and refrigerators!”
[quote]
As he toured facilities for the poor in Ohio last week, Mr. Carson, the neurosurgeon-turned-housing secretary, joked that a relatively well-appointed apartment complex for veterans lacked “only pool tables.” He inquired at one stop whether animals were allowed. At yet another, he nodded, plainly happy, as officials explained how they had stacked dozens of bunk beds inside a homeless shelter and purposefully did not provide televisions.
Compassion, Mr. Carson explained in an interview, means not giving people “a comfortable setting that would make somebody want to say: ‘I’ll just stay here. They will take care of me.’”[/quote]
Yeah, why would we want our veterans to think we’ll take care of them?
Forget Nazis, it’s all Trump Administration officials I’m itching to punch in the face lately.

For some of them it’s two shitbirds with one stone, man.
Your solution to the Trump problem seems unnecessarily gentle and forgiving. Please try again.
It’s that first part. “The letter isn’t the only reason that Clinton lost.” The letter is the easiest thing to measure, but when you have stuff like Bill Clinton imploring her campaign to not ignore the coal/steel states she eventually lost, or any of the other factors that Hillary admits were mistakes, it’s not hard to point the finger in a million directions.
Frankly, the fact that the race was even close is an issue. It shouldn’t have been a single-digit win for her. It should’ve been a blowout. Trump would’ve been a nightmare candidate in any previous election, but he made it through the primaries and won. Easily. And that’s an issue for every American because what does that say about voters? The electorate is about 20 times dumber, more easily manipulated, and partisan than anyone ever thought.
As for the article’s premise that the media should take responsibility for their coverage, well… Yeah. But you know who really gets the blame for the media’s idiocy? Us. The consumers. We get the media we deserve, which gets us the government we deserve.

Here’s the big takeaway from Clinton’s recent speech:
When she speaks, she sounds like a fucking adult who actually knows shit.
It’s such an absurdly stark contrast to hearing Trump speak.
Trump sounds like a complete imbecile when he speaks, even when he’s reading directly from a teleprompter. And it’s not just that he’s a poor speaker, he’s clearly an idiot. His brain literally can’t hold a complex train of thought. You see it again and again, where it just jumps all over. It’s entirely made of buzz words and catch phrases and bullshit soundbytes.
Hell, we saw it yesterday when asked about his lying regarding wiretapping. He throws out the garbage statement again, and merely asking, “Can you tell me what you mean by that?” causes him to flip out and end the interview. Merely asking him to expand on a statement that he made (completely unprompted, and off topic, by the way) causes him to throw a tantrum.
Clinton can sit there and talk about fucking anything. SHE FUCKING KNOWS ALL THE THINGS. Domestic policy, foreign policy, trade agreements, military use of force… ask her fucking anything about any of them, and she has answers. Not just bullshit soundbite answers either, but well reasoned arguments.
Seeing her speak makes watching Trump even MORE cringe-inducing than it already is, because it just highlights how he’s such a fucking imbecile.
Agreed. The letter was simply the straw that broke the camel’s back only because it came last. I do wonder what particular facet of HRC’s campaign was the biggest culprit because there were so many to choose from.
Than most people ever thought.

America, fuck yeah! (Read whole thread)
And yet he won! This is the thing that 100+ days into his presidency is still blowing my mind. During the campaign, it seemed completely clear that Clinton would be infinitely better as a president than Trump, but nope. We got Trump. And he’s turning out to be every bit as much of an incompetent dumbass that we all feared he was. Even if you’re a Republican, his administration is a wreck and his inability to get any of his campaign promises delivered is comical.
It’s mind-boggling, but there are people that think he’s doing a crackerjack job! He’s winning everything and he’s making America great! What the hell?
Well, clearly those people’s only sources of news and information are what they read on Facebook, Breitbart and Stormfront, and hear on radio shows like that of Alex Jones.
