I don't get the misuse of the term "strength" to describe Turnip. The man is the opposite of strong; he's scatterbrained, irrational, almost paranoiacally defensive, self-absorbed, small-minded, and astonishingly ignorant. There's nothing strong about him.

Takes a lot of strength to be so forcefully ignorant.

He's pretty much a textbook case of insecurity. He's very weak. I really think that's the case with the whole GOP field, except Cruz. Cruz is insane, but he's not weak. The other guys are all made of jelly. Rubio is bound to break down crying at some point.

Bill Kristol is always wrong, he knows he's always wrong, and doesn't feeling like changing a thing. I mean, why change? Still getting paid big bucks either way.

The Swiss are voting on a new law that will give each adult Swiss citizen a $2,100 stipend every month. That's not a typo. Every adult Swiss citizen will receive a check each month for over 2K if the law passes.

That's not a ton of money here, but it's enough to get a small apartment, eat simply, and do a social thing or two each month.

Kasich is an adult

If he were an adult AND Swiss he'd be in line for $2,100.

I hope the Swiss approve that initiative, so its failure can be an example to other nations.

Maybe this showed up before and I missed it, but this is pretty scathing about Cruz's Expatriate Terrorist Act. While he is tearing up all those illegal, unconstitutional things that "this president" has done, he can slide on over to the archives, perhaps just pause a moment during the ingratiation parade as it tends to go right on by, and shred the constitution with the other offending documents held there.

Hillary is a conservative?

Swiss are cool af, and have been a long time. Fuck Harry Lime and his cuckoo clock. Dumb question MB: are we talking about residents, or all citizens?

From a Clinton interview on Thursday night -

PELLEY: You know, in ’76, Jimmy Carter famously said, “I will not lie to you.”

CLINTON: Well, I have to tell you I have tried in every way I know how literally from my years as a young lawyer all the way through my time as secretary of state to level with the American people.

PELLEY: You talk about leveling with the American people. Have you always told the truth?

CLINTON: I’ve always tried to. Always. Always.

PELLEY: Some people are gonna call that wiggle room that you just gave yourself.

CLINTON: Well, no, I’ve always tried —

PELLEY: I mean, Jimmy Carter said, “I will never lie to you.”

CLINTON: Well, but, you know, you’re asking me to say, “Have I ever?” I don’t believe I ever have. I don’t believe I ever have. I don’t believe I ever will. I’m gonna do the best I can to level with the American people.


And she wonders why people don't trust her. The excerpt above came from this article - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the ... the-truth/

Out of all the reasons to not trust her, this is a dumb one. Just a trap question. Lol at using Jimmy Carter, too. Yes, he's the president from the 70s or 80s who was a notorious liar. Not Nixon who lied about everything or Reagan who lied about how economics work until he reneged on his terrible policies. Jimmy Carter.

The standout topic, however, was terrorism and national security. Trump repeated – favorably – an apparent myth about how General John Pershing summarily executed dozens of Muslim prisoners in the Philippines with tainted ammunition during a guerilla war against the occupying United States.

“He took fifty bullets, and he dipped them in pig’s blood,” Trump said. “And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the fifty people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the fiftieth person he said ‘You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem, okay?”

The story appears to be a hoax spread via e-mail forwards, according to rumor tracker Snopes.com, with no evidence it occurred.

The moral of the tale, according to Trump: “We better start getting tough and we better start getting vigilant, and we better start using our heads or we’re not gonna have a country, folks.”

I have to begrudgingly give Trump credit for this campaign. The establishment Republicans welcomed this type of thinking into their party, but they spoke about it coded language with a degree of coyness. Trump is just regurgitating the horribly formatted memes, Ron Paul newsletters & racist untrue forwarded emails that a huge part of the country communicates via. It's disgusting but it should be apparent there is a lot of people in our country that love this kind of stuff.

He tied the San Bernardino shooting into an argument over gun rights, saying the body count could have been minimized if the office workers who were murdered had been armed.

“If there were guns on the other side pointed at the other direction so the bullets are flying both ways you, wouldn’t have had that happen,” he said.

*Brantt with a very serious look on his face nods affirmatively*

Did you notice the part where nobody said that Jimmy Carter was a liar?

yeah, think you may have misread that, SK.

Beat Clinton up with petty shit all the way to a Cruz presidency.
