    Why didn't the US Government think of doing that decades ago!?!

          Among those who say they will vote for Trump, 48 percent say he’ll create a database to track Muslims; 36 percent say there will be race riots; 33 percent say the government would default on its debt; and 32 percent say Trump would punish his political opponents and authorize internment camps for illegal immigrants.
          The red portion: Uh, we kinda have that now. See: Charlotte, Ferguson, et al.

          The purple portion: Show me a politician that hasn't gone to office and tried to punish political opponents. (That's what politics is.)

              I've actually seen folks propose just that. They wouldn't sell off national parks, but they would sell off the vast properties that the Federal government owns in the west.

              I point out that bankruptcy ruins your credit and makes you unable to borrow as you are now a documented credit risk.

              They retorted, "Why is that a bad thing. Make the government balance the budget and live on current revenues. It would force the government to improve the economy to generate more tax revenue."

                    From Sicatoka in the last thread.


                    She's already made an emotion appeal toward (at?) them ... calling them "deplorable".
                    To which I say, if he had bothered to read her entire statement, which I posted earlier in that thread, he would know that she went out of her way to separate the deplorables from the rest of the "great unwashed masses".

                    Ol' Sica's learned a lot about obfuscation from the Trump campaign.
                    What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                      No candidate in recent memory (history?) has made such statement about broad sectors of the electorate, yet Mrs. Clinton did. It was stunning and a very questionable move (whether or not the characterization is correct). All of the old "never do that's" have become SOP for both candidates.

                      Like I said in the prior thread, this election is upside-down, inside-out, and reversed. With left-handed threads.

                        Yeah, she did. And it was true. Did you see what the Trump Campaign in Ohio said?

                        It's time these people got called out for what they are. If Mrs. Clinton is the only one with balls to do it, so be it.

                          In the past, the Veep candidate was the one with the knife (axe?, sledgehammer?) calling out the other candidate and their followers. Seeing the top of the ticket do it is the political shift I'm commenting on. Nothing more.

                            I don't think the Veeps were even calling out this ****. This **** is new. This **** needs to end. This **** needs to be over. They can take their skittles analogy and their xenophobia and move to the Middle East where it's accepted.

                              Are you joking? The 2004 Bush campaign essentially called liberals and libertarians traitors for not marching lock step with the administration. And every GOP candidate for the last 30 years has run their mouth about "hurr hurr real America," consigning everybody who lives on the coasts or scored over 1100 on their SATs to the ash heap of The Other.

                              What Clinton did was give the right back a tiny measure of the barrels of bile and hatred they have been drowning us in for generations, and the right wailed like a scalded puppy. The Clintons' major horrific crime is they don't turn the other cheek when the Echo Chamber turns on their garbage sprayer. That's what was so shocking about Clinton's statement.

                              The RNC and the GOP and a large number of their followers are just textbook schoolyard bullies, who instantly collapse into a pool of tears and cry for Mommy the moment some kid gets fed up with the months of bullying and fights back.

                              Here is my heartfelt apology to Les Deplorables and all their pearl clutching enablers.
