The OFFICIAL Trump/HRC/2016 General Election Thread...

[ArcadiaGP]

What is this I keep hearing about Sen. Harry Reid being a pedophile?

He is, allegedly.

Until he denies it, it's probably true.

I saw where Trump is "fine" with gay marriage. What?? The media lied to me again?

Nah, media polls, conducted by the media, show that the media is truthful, true story.

 

[chipbennett]

Yes, but I encourage them to try. I'm buying stock in Kleenex.

What's that, you say? Why not Charmin, also?

 

[printcraft]

No.
Mr. Whipple is part of the patriarchy.

What's Mike Pence hiding in his emails?

The attempt to draw an equivalence between this and the Hillary e-mail scandal will require intellectual dishonesty that only a liberal could master.

Having spent much real time dealing with APRA, I can tell you the email issue is a problematic one. Not every email SHOULD be public record, not every deliberative material loses the "deliberative" quality once a final decision has been made, and not every request should be treated the same.

That's my half minute soapbox presentation on that.

I thought he was fine with it all along?

Bannon said he wanted his site to be Alt-Right. It is no surprise that WNs are optimistic.

He is. But he's made crazy statements about marriage issues being more of a state issue than a federal issue. Insanity!

Ok.

Most of the population doesn't really understand full faith and credit, though, so I don't necessarily hold that against him.

Your argument would be consistent, if he held the same ideology concerning firearms.

In fairness, most politicians have inconsistent opinions about the role of the federal government in firearms and just about everything else. Same sex marriage, health care, automobile pollution controls, wetland mitigation, etc.

Kut (waits for someone to say it....)

[h=3]Amendment II[/h]A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

[h=3]Amendment IX[/h]The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
[h=3]Amendment X[/h]The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

 

[HoughMade]

Kut (waits for someone to say it....)

Except for the part where the Constitution explicitly makes firearms a matter of federal protection.

Oh, and if you can find any legislative history where the 14th Amendment was directed to anything other than race and possibly ethnicity when it was proposed, debated and ratified, you can bring that up too.

Dripping of Godwin, but it's a rare case of the shoe fitting. Bannon doesn't have an excellent reputation.

[The chairman of the Nazi party said something...]

Nothing more than guilt by association. Is there any evidence, not involving the Southern Poverty Law Center, that Bannon is a white nationalist?

Unless he was at the ball... shoes fit more than just nazis.

New word that Sec of State is up between Gulianni and Ambassador Bolton. I'd say Bolton would be a great choice here.

Also, Keith Ellison is running for DNC chair.

Again, excellent choice compared to what they've had.

I like Bolton. I'd be okay with Rudy, too.

I think I saw Jim Talent's name floated for SecDef? If so: LOVE that choice.
