    I love how he starts out by showering Michelle Obama with compliments, talks about political reform, a living wage!!!, up the minimum wage!!, talks veiled shit about obamacare , talks shit about other policies, then proceeds to say..... "vote for hillary".

    Hello dipshit; your party has been in power the last 8 years. YOU guys were all responsible for this fucking shit show.

    Biggest fucking hypocritical douche bag ever, but that goes along with the entire DNC. Closet racists, bigots, and corrupt.

    I still haven't heard an explanation for taco bowl. That's all I want to know. None of my Mexican friends at work know the origin.

    I really enjoyed this post, especially the bolded part.

    We've never seen two major party candidates campaign so strongly for the third party guy before. I so hope Johnson's numbers increase over the next couple months.

    I thought Cory Booker was very good - a lot like Obama in 2004. Melania Trump's speechwriter is fabulous. Will miss her.

    People on site have said the majority if Sanders delegates behave like serious people, but of course all the media focus is on the BernieBrats. I think they want Chicago 1968 without their privileged little heads getting bashed. They are now openly cheering Trump winning the elections, saying, in so many words, that will show Hillary! They have not yet threatened to hold their breath until they turn blue, but I am expecting it any day. I honestly thought the idea of a "fart in" was so juvenile and just plain stupid it had to be internet rumor; now, I find myself believing these children will do just that. No wonder they secretly like Trump; third graders admiring the schoolyard bully.

    Someone please, explain to me how it advances a progressive agenda to boo their own candidate, shout down Nancy Pelosi, Elijah Cummings, Barbara freaking Lee, and try to disrupt Elizabeth Warren's speech. While Senator Warren was speaking the brats chanted "we trusted you". Trusted her to do what? Behave like a petulant child and say if my candidate comes in second I'll pout and go home? Support an egomaniac who promises to stack the Supreme Court with far right justices, abolish minimum wage, outlaw all abortion, overturn marriage equality, end public education? WTF?

    What's that term you like to use? "Fact optional"?

    FWIW, I loved the 5-4 conservative court. The decisions were quite balanced. If the court were 5-4 liberal, I don't think the decisions would be balanced at all. As it was, with Scalia, abortion rights, gay marriage, etc., were all defended. But also fair treatment of the people when government ham handedly hurt them. And privacy.

    Trump has actually shown over his lifetime to be tolerant compared to religious conservatives. I would consider he's trying to appeal to the republican base in his rhetoric, and also his deeds. Like when the transgender thing came up, he said the TG people are free to use whatever bathrooms they choose at Trump properties.

    Minimum wage hasn't made a dent in poverty. Not much of any of FDR's societal programs (and those that followed) have. A free market would drive up wages due to supply and demand. And no minimum wage doesn't affect union shop employees who make significantly more.

    Public education is something of a disgrace. I don't get why anyone wants more of the same. I don't get why anyone wants to turn our higher education system into something resembling public schools, either. Again, free market forces would drive education quality up if there was any real competition. But when you have a government monopoly and truancy laws, the People are fucked.

    I just wanna know what they meant. My best guess is that taco bowls have chips and beans and salsa and meat and cheese. So the Hispanic vote that they know they are going to get includes Columbians and Mexicans and Cubans and Peruvians and so on.

    Why else make up a new racist term that nobody gets?

    What I don't understand is, what did you want him to do?

    Did you want him to try to change the system, or did you want him to just say the system needed to be changed?

    He's doing what he can to actually change the system.

    "balanced" doesn't actually mean what you and Fox think it does.

    It doesn't mean what you think it does. Not one side's oxen need to be gored by the decisions.

    The conservative court upheld ObamaCare and made marriage available to homosexuals. They also struck down the Texas abortion law.

    They also have repeatedly upheld privacy rights and 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

    In the grand scheme of things, I don't take issue with the overall rulings.

    Seriously, you don't know what 'taco bowl' refers to? Google 'Trump taco bowl tweet'.

    Ok. So they were making fun of Trump, that's as good of an explanation as I've heard.

    Wow, this is a perfect example of the bullshit insults coming from Hillary supporters that make me sick. Democrats who swallow the party line and spew hate towards anyone who doesn't are just as bad as Republicans who do the same.

    No one is gonna recite the infamous Reddit post?

    "Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I’m so distressed right now I don’t know what to do. I didn’t mean to do that to my mom but I’m literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I’m going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he losing? This can’t be happening. I’m having a fucking breakdown. I don’t want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Bernie to be president and fix this broken country. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, I thought he was polling well in New York???? This is so fucked."
