    Let's not forget that most people that turn out to vote, vote Republican because they are Republicans or vote Democrat because they are Democrats. Who the candidate actually is, policy, economic factors don't have all that much influence on the popular vote. If not for the electoral college's winner takes all model, they influence bugger all. I'm guessing that if you had an alternate reality where everything else was exactly the same but Trump was the Democratic candidate and Clinton was the Republican nominee, the popular vote results would have been about the same.

    This might be more accurate for the before picture. Alternatively, you can replace the Euopean men now image with someone from Hello! magazine or something.

    Also discrimination against law enforcement officers with fewer than 6 legs.

    I like this speech, but I don't see how it would serve Trump in any way. It also seems to lump all protesters in with those who are getting violent, which is the same problem with lumping all Trump voters in with racists. If every time we talk about Trump supporters, we feel the need to lecture on racism, it is just going to cause people to tune out. The perception of Trump is that he not in support of any of those things that the symbol is supposed to represent. That may be totally inaccurate and irrational, but I don't see how it will hurt him to show support. He already won the election, now would be a good time to start mending bridges (because people are flipping out over fences.) Image problem right now? Another thing that baffles me about Trump followers is that he always had an image problem. Or ever since he has been in the public eye anyway. He has been getting sued for shady things since like the 70s, and he was always the poster boy for the evil landlord that screws over tenants for a buck and a half. It's not like the racist/sexist/clueless idiot born with a silver spoon in his mouth deal is a new thing either. My dad used to buy Mad magazine, and this election cycle reminded me of how I came across Trump for the first time: The internet tells me this is 1989. And here's a bonus picture. I had completely forgotten about this until I just saw it in a google image search: That's 1991.

    They are giving to a cause they believe in. Is that foolish? Meanwhile, what the greatness of America is all about: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-muslim-registry-immigrants-policy-kris-bobach-reinstate-wall-a7420296.html

    Is that like when Trump complained about the negative attacks ads that were just a collage of his quotes?

    Properly enforced regulation should fix the issue of too much power.

    I like that you call the special lady you share a home with "your lactose intolerant". I don't know what you're talking about. huh.

    Yes. it owns me with daily servings of tasty bovine milk. Also yoghurt, cheeses that contain cow's milk and other milk byproducts like filmjölk or kefir.

    The vegans can go take a running jump in a lake. Milk is tasty and should never be replaced by that soy stuff. But coffee should be drank only in espresso form.
  14. Pidesco
    Adding milk to your coffee doesn't have to be labeled as anything to be considered a crime against humanity.

    I didn't write this but I thought it was perfect: It's like a rock paper scissors of jerks. Or a logic puzzle. Donald Trump needs to get across the river in a canoe with his staff. The canoe only holds Trump and two people. His staff are a homophobic woman, a racist homosexual and a misogynist black man. When Trump is not present, those with hateful tendencies will act on them. How does Trump get his staff across the river?

    I've just played for a couple of hours, and I'm really enjoying Verse. So far she appears to be a psychopath with an earnest enjoyment of bloody violence but obviously there's more there than meets the eye. The writing in general seems quite good, and I feel engaged and conflicted in the choices I have had. to make. I really like the art design even if everything seems to be on the brown side of the spectrum, so far. I've majored in dual wielding with a minor in lightning magic, but I haven't experienced much of the combat mechanics, so far. Reading through the ability descriptions it does seem like a step in a different direction when compared to PoE. I'd say it might be a middle ground between Dragon Age and Pillars: Heavy on the cooldowns, but still a healthy variety to the combat options, perhaps. It will depend on the variety of the opposition, of course, but it won't hard to be better than DA in that respect.

    What I see, people are demanding that democrats will obstruct Trump with every conceivable way like republicans did for Obama (according to them). Any sort cooperation or suggestion of cooperation is seen as betrayal. So next four years are probably at least as entertaining as previous eight. Republicans will have to get rid of the filibuster if they expect to get anything done. Reid already got rid of part of it, and no doubt the Dems would get rid of the rest if that benefited them. Obola's IRS encourages illegal aliens to file tax returns with stolen Social Security numbers and claim billions in tax credits. Edit: As a citizen of course I am expected to follow all the rules and pay all my taxes, and if I don't the feds will come down on me like a ton of bricks. Those 4Bn in tax credits mostly are given for children of immigrants who actually are US citizens. Also, illegal immigrants still pay 12 billion a year in payroll taxes without getting any benefits. You're an expert on US tax system now? How do they know their children are citizens? How do they know they have children at all, or who the person with the fake Social Security number is? This is all a criminal enterprise, and a fraud perpetrated on the American taxpayer. That's all info taken from the 2011 report Trump got that info from, and then selectively quoted to make it worse than it is. https://www.treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2011reports/201141061fr.pdf http://www.taxjusticeblog.org/archive/2015/08/what_trump_gets_all_wrong_abou.php#.WCZCGMk1dG4

    You may not have noticed, but violence is all coming from one side. Sure is mate, sure is. https://twitter.com/i/moments/796417517157830656?m=1 Ha ha ha ha. http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2016/11/10/police-muslim-student-fabricated-hijab-grab-trump-supporters/ Hold up. So one reported incident was fabricated, therefore the implication you are making is that ALL of them are, right? I don't even, so I'm just going to quote your own immortal words: Just making the point that posts on twitter aren't necessarily a reliable source. Also a few racist incidents which always happened aren't the same as organized rioting. I was the best in my class for your information. I was. Aware.

    Rose tinted glasses and all that. Torment's voice acting was quite uneven and not everyone in BG2 was David Warner.

    Disregarding his action competence in the comic, I always thought Valérian looked older, experienced, a bit tired and world weary, but still outclassed by Laureline at his job every step of the way. DeHaan comes across as a bit too young.

    One of advantage of electing Trump is that we won't need to choose a title for Bill Clinton. First Laddie, First Man, First Sir, First Dude? The possibilities are endless. Fortunately Trump already has the perfect official title:
