HoonDing Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 The biggest delusion is all Trump's daily dumb stuff as part of some grand 42D intergalatic go strategy. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoraptor Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hard to say the delusion is any worse than the crazy stuff that was being said about Obama. I mean, he was a Muslim foreigner working with ISIS to implement Shari'ah, after all. Did you have opinion pieces in respectable papers etc saying so or just in right wing National Enquirer/ Drudge Report type places though? Business Insider is not the best regarded, and Betteridge's Law of Headlines applies (ie no, he didn't commit treason, as anyone who doesn't have their head up Hillary's bum on the payroll of Shareblue could tell) but still, it is pretty mainstream and not pure outrage trolling like Vice etc. Perhaps the most troubling aspect of it is that the only thing Trump has done that has earned near universal praise is to chuck tomahawks at Syria, which is an utterly dreadful lesson to teach politicians.

Blarghagh Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Trump could fellate Putin sama in front of the entire world (well, which he kinda did) and not lose a single voter. And the best part would be all the heat the mainstream media would get from LGBT for homophobic remarks if they criticized him for it Nah, because if he'd be appropriating their culture.

Guard Dog Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Trump is walking back his denials of Russian... whatever they did... (still don't see how hacking the DNC is interfering with an election but whatever). The problem with walking back things you said is it sounds even worse than when you said it.

Guard Dog Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 How's this idea? We eliminate the Presidential elections altogether, No more voting for President. Every four years we take all the names of all the serving Congressmen, Senators, Governors, & Lt. Governors, etc and place them in a lottery pool. They must have served at least 6 years in an elected national or state wide office, and have no criminal record or ethics violations to be eligible. Then we pick a name from the pool at random. That person serves as President for a single four year term. Then in four years we do it again. If someone really, really wants to be President, odds are they should not be. MAGA!

smjjames Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I probably wouldn't go as far down the line as lt. governors though. Also, if we're going to do that, we might as well go Parliamentary system as it achieves basically the same effect. Though I wouldn't trust the Republicans to not change the rules at the first opportunity so that only the party in the majority can choose the Prime Minister.

The hell are you blabbering about? Most likely referring to one term in the Senate, which is 6 years. Might have been better to say ‘at least one term in office’ rather than a specific number of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
