this part rings the most true:


Because while Trump is a miserable bastard, YOU are the people who have handed him the bullhorn. YOU are the people willing to embarrass this nation and put it on the brink of economic ruin all because you wanna throw an electoral hissy fit. YOU are the people who want to revolutionize the way America does business by voting for its worst businessman, a disgusting neon pig who only makes money when he causes problems for other people instead of solving them. YOU are the thin-skinned yokels who clutch your bandoliers whenever someone hurls the mildest of slurs at you (“deplorables”), while cheering Trump on as he leaves a bonfire of truly hateful invective everywhere he goes. YOU are the people willing to overlook the fact that Trump is an unqualified, ignorant sociopath because DURRRR HILLARY IS BAD TOO DURRRR.

You know what? No, she’s not. She’s fine. I lived through one Clinton, and I can live through another. My reasons for hating Trump are better than your reasons for hating Hillary. Show me all the arguments against her you like. You guys don’t give a shit about facts and research when it comes to Trump, so I’m not gonna give a shit about whatever clumsy meme you cook up to explain why she did Benghazi. Nope. Sorry. Fuck your arguments, and fuck you. Trump has shown no respect for anyone, so I don’t see why you deserve any either. Whatever mildly frustrating centrist liberal bureaucracy that Hillary presides over will be fine compared to the spray tan mushroom cloud that would arise all because YOU thought Trump was such a brave, un-PC dickhead to everyone within shouting distance.

this reads like a dr casino join but it's real

“He doesn’t have a birth certificate, or if he does, there’s something on that certificate that’s very bad for him,” Trump said. “Somebody told me — and I have no idea whether this is bad for him or not, but perhaps it would be — that, where it says religion, it might have Muslim. And if you’re a Muslim, you don’t change your religion, by the way. But somebody said maybe that’s the reason why he doesn’t want to show it. I don’t think so. I just don’t think he has a birth certificate, and everybody has a birth certificate.”

hillary's birth certificate says "fatal pneumonia" on it, which is even weirder.

Or maybe he shits himself "hard". He is very "tough on pants". He doesn't compromise; "shitting in toilets is PC"

well that seems like pretty stark evidence that at least 14% of hillary's negative rating is related to sexism xp

What if you were born again?

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Wednesday, 21 September 2016 22:27 (seven years ago) link

I was a little startled when I was asked to list my religion for a visa to visit India. (I'm pretty sure this isn't even on Indian birth certificates, though.)

the Indian consulate asked you for that? that's weird I don't recall having to do that, but it was awhile ago...

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 21 September 2016 22:34 (seven years ago) link

Yes, this past summer. You don't even have to go through a consulate or High Commission/Embassy for short trips at this point. There's an online form. There's a question about religion with pull-down options for "Hindu", "Muslim", "Christian", "Buddhist", etc., as well as "other".

btw

But according to polls taken after the Sept. 11 stumble, the "Hillary's health" story line has done no political damage to speak of. Morning Consult, which polled immediately after the health scare, initially found that 50 percent of voters worried that Clinton had dissembled about her health, and the percentage of voters saying her health was below average or poor spiked by 19 points. But the number of voters who said the health scare would affect their votes was negligible; and on Sunday, MC released a full poll of the week after the scare, and found Clinton ticking up slightly in a head-to-head matchup, from a one-point lead to a four-point lead. The national Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll also found a "negligible" number of voters switching their votes because of the health story.

I don't even understand the logic behind gambling on an "uh oh candidate X is sick, better vote for candidate Y!" reaction from voters.

"I was a little startled when I was asked to list my religion for a visa to visit India. "

I don't get visiting India and visas btw; someone I work with just told me she couldn't go back because she didn't have a visa to go. why do you need a visa to go there as opposed to travel to europe?

Kobayashi Maru is the scenario presented to the electorate ( = ultimate no-win scenario)

The Hon. J. Piedmont Mumblethunder (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 21 September 2016 23:49 (seven years ago) link

Indian birth certificates include both religion and caste.

Because India still has different personal laws for different religious people. Hindus, Muslims, Parsis and Christians all have different laws. And Atheists don't have a secular law to govern them. While we do have Special marriage Act for marriages among atheists or people belonging to different religions, we do not have other provisions relating to succession for Atheists. So, even if you are an Atheist, you will have to politically identify yourself as a person belonging to your birth or converted religion so that the state can apply the respective law to you. All this will end when we have a Uniform Civil Code.

Love the controversy about Don King's accidental use of the n word rather than the fact that he's a piece of shit murderer who took advantage of every athlete he ever "promoted."

Very similar person to Trump. Makes sense they are old friends
