As entertaining as this all is, I am still much more interested in whether pot becomes legal and the death penalty gets repealed in California.

So when Clinton speaks, we need to make sure to remember she is a fraud and a liar, but when Trump speaks, we need to remember he is just trolling. edit: Liar, not lair.

Except, he hasn't done that. You can argue that Clinton has failed to pick up enough female and minority votes, but that doesnt mean they are going to Trump. He is winning with a white male base.

Bit bummed by the low numbers for Johnson. My wife and I voted for him. Trump is such a crazy anomaly, keeps defying all expectations. Weird to think you can alienate large swaths of minorities and women and still be competitive.

I've been running a mock election for my middle school students today. The results aren't too surprising, it's a pretty liberal area. Clinton has a 49% edge right now with Trump at about 25%, Johnson at 19%, and Stein at 7%. The big surprises in CA props are the death penalty repeal is dead even at 50/50 and Marijuana is getting killed with 75% no.

I have a ton of work to get through by Thursday so I can devote myself to the game. Super nice that Friday is a holiday.

Well Pidesco never claimed they were flat over history. He just said the increased numbers in modern times are more a reflection of increases in reporting. He brought this up because someone was trying to make a very tenuous bridge between guns being outlawed and a rise in sexual assaults. I'm fairly pro-gun, but I still think that's a ridiculous assertion.

Hmm, this doesn't pass my BS test. Link? We looked a bunch of studies out of Sweden just a few months ago. But yeah, it's not hard to find articles on what Pidesco is claiming. This one seems to be decent: http://time.com/2851844/number-of-campus-sex-crimes-reported-surges-by-50/

Great, another zealot.

I can't figure out why in the world that van stopped in front of the truck. I guess it was the backhoe pulling across lanes?

I guess instead 'censor everything that is weird' I should of said 'burn everything that is weird with fire'.

You champion of art and freedom, you. lulwut lulwut would be the proper response to what you wrote. I mean, it started off with the typical 'censor everything that is weird' argument, and then you connected it to kidnapping and satanism.

Sorry to hear that Oerwinde. 1 sick day a year is pretty lame too.

Thanks everybody, hopefully they will get better as we go along. We are definitely rookies, but it was a lot of fun and I've got a ton of ideas for future episodes. I managed to figure out how to get them submitted to iTunes and GooglePlay, so that is cool.

Yeah, only fact-based jokes around here Raithe! This isn't some fly by night operation.

Ok, I made my blog and we recorded the first podcast today. I've posted it on the site, now I just need to figure out how to post it on iTunes and other stuff. I've had fun with it. https://historyofhops.com/

So does Chippy think Pidesco works for Obsidian? That is awesome.

Never attribute malice to that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

I hope teknoman doesn't turn into a strange cat hero/villain.

I am super thankful I hooked up with my wife before the days of all the internet dating, that's for sure.

Let's break this dumb list down... Ok, so there are three examples here. They aren't clear which party the dead people voted for. Ok, this has more potential. Although it sounds like whoever was behind this fraud messed up by not letting the fraudulent voters know what there job was. How many of them successfully lobbied a democratic vote? 700 people cast two ballots! That's terrible. Who did they vote for? Who organized this? I'm going to stop there, but Pennsylvania actually come up two more times, so it is clear that they've got issues. But are they rigging it for one side? I mean, sure, you could assume allowing illegals to vote is clearly an attempt to get more Democrat votes. Except no one seems to have let those illegals know what their role is in this. It is also pretty clear that the registration is tied to driver's licenses, which is more of an example of dumb bureaucratic paperwork practices than actual fraud. So basically all of these examples don't clearly favor one party, they seem highly disorganized, and in a nation of 300 million, they are still a drop in the bucket. I'm going to go with stupidity over fraud.

If Clinton really were rigging the election, she is doing a terrible job. Why is Donald Trump a shoe-in to win without a rigged election? He has alienated multiple voting bases with his words. What facts do you have to support that? edit: What I'm trying to say is, given a decent candidate running for the Republican party, you might have a good argument. But Trump is not a decent candidate and it doesn't take election rigging to predict he has an above average chance of not winning.

I love this place.

This is a very empathetic and eloquent argument, Volo. Well done.

Ok Dr. Dagon.
