Hard to believe but it looks like he is going to win. I hope all of you are prepared for what happens next. 2017 could be a very chaotic year.

Since Hillary is suffering from several incurable, chronic, life threatening conditions and will probably die any moment now: Warren's more of what I picture as the first female president.
- yeah all about the looks mono. explains how designers make choices. looks acceptable, cause of looks.yurimon
- I wasn't referring to her looks, dumbass.monospaced
- like a jill stein lite. some of the policies she supports are quite asinine. she has definitely been educated incorrectly or says anything like trump for votes.deathboy
- they are too weak.yurimon
- @ deathboy, your opinions about her education are nothing more than that (feelings, obviously), and she has never said anything just to win a vote.monospaced
- anyway, I think she's pretty amazing how she's going after the corporate corruption (banks)monospaced
- not feelings. a summation based on the generalization of a handful of her stances. she is clearly and logically incorrect on manydeathboy
- and making a guess if she believes it she learned incorrectly. or shes being a politician and choosing by what gets her votes and makes her stand out. or bothdeathboy
- most people nowadays don't have critical thinking skills and they just repeat from the experts they choose to believe. why u sell yourself as an expertdeathboy
- sorry you think that. Must be why you are all about the trumpmonospaced
- That man and his band of followers must be real critical thinkers.monospaced
- mono is a critical thinker. his thinking is in critical condition. yeah bouy.yurimon
- im not a trump supporter. but i will say he can get emotional responses. he understands peoples propensity for entertainment and trivial shitdeathboy
- much better at grandstanding than warren. she could learn a thing or too from him next time she wants a public forum to to say shame shamedeathboy
- if she had any tact she'd see some hypocrisy with herself and peers with how many bad incentive programs have been created by them and what their punishment wasdeathboy
- she'd have been better suggesting they be fucked to death. than she would have gotten better headlines and more attentiondeathboy
- A 'summation' of a 'generalization' of a 'handful' of stances - super scientific of you, well done.BuddhaHat
- 'most people don't have critical thinking skills' - she's a professor of law at Harvard, you monumental hobnob.BuddhaHat
- 'he gets emotional responses' - 'cos you need people that respond emotionally in control of nuclear weapons. Genius.BuddhaHat
- 'bad incentive programs' - the CPFB is not about incentives, it is about Protecting Consumers' Finances. Neither side has supported it much.BuddhaHat
- directly quoting a satirical cartoon suggesting that 'fucking people to death' is the right way to get positive attention on a subject. Yet again, genius.BuddhaHat
- summation is what cliff notes are buddha. would u like me to right a multipage post on all her positions? would you read it?deathboy
- professor of law at harvard means absolutely nothing, and only reflects poorly on harvard brand image. dont fall for such associations.deathboy
- incentives... lowering interest rates too all time lows and doing QE, subsidies for so many things. again summation because that is sooo long.deathboy
- person sets up a well intended incentive program that gets gamed by lots of greedy people. gets caught pays the fined on top of reimburses and has to listendeathboy
- "At Harvard, Warren became one of the most highly cited law professors in the United States." so an entire profession thinks she's an idiot, then...BuddhaHat
- to her hypocrisy for the public grandstanding. props for him giving her the time of day. id tell her to fuck off.deathboy
- that means other people of significant legal standing cited her interpretations of statutory law in the application of law in other cases and researchBuddhaHat
- your assertion seemingly runs contrary to realityBuddhaHat
- just because its satire doesn't mean there isnt a lesson. the more obviously obtuse statement the more attention because its easy. attention sells as clicksdeathboy
- a summation of a generalization of a handful of things, however... well geeze, that could just about be interpreted any old way, couldn't it?BuddhaHat
- she is doing what she does for a political show and dance routine. if she had balls and wanted to double down she could try to step up her gamedeathboy
- well i just wrote all that and didnt know u responded in between. again a terrible medium for real discussion, just short bytes of entertainmentdeathboy
- oh yea i don't base any info on others opinions. only my own. this is that expert thing i mentioned. we are told only to believe others with standingdeathboy
- we so often remove reason and replace it with opinion of a so called expert. bush, obama also did law at harvard, it really means nothingdeathboy
- she wants equal rights for gays but wants to give women extraordinary rights? no hypocrisy there. fuckin harvard smarts, probably a professor said sodeathboy
- protecting consumers from exploitative business practices is a political song & dance? to whose benefit? no politician wants to see the CPFBBuddhaHat
- in operation because it goes after the people that give them money. GOP opposed her nomination, and she only got in from public supportBuddhaHat
- she did it because her experience as an expert in bankruptcy laws showed her that the consumer was getting the short end of the stick, in a patternBuddhaHat
- of repeated exploitation. given how much money these financial institutions give in political donations, in what way was that a 'political' song & dance?BuddhaHat
- no im ok with the fines. it was the grandstanding against the CEO. and the hypocrisy calling him out for a well intended plan that failed. that is par for govdeathboy
- and her policies are full of hypocrisy. shes a career politician who probably couldnt do shit in the private sectordeathboy
- people with less fortitude and without the record to back themselves up have folded under the kind of pressure she has been underBuddhaHat
- well they got fined and the forum had 0 merit. why do it at all? she was posturing for her careerdeathboy
- She has built a career in education and the public sector. There would be plenty of people in those sectors that couldn't do shit in the private sector.BuddhaHat
- what's your point?BuddhaHat
- she has been under 0 pressure. make her responsible for her behavior and see what happens. its why shes public sector. you dont have to be responsible for anythdeathboy
- but with 2 degrees in science and law, a position of professor at Harvard, and a deep understanding of the intricacies of finance, I'd say she's employable.BuddhaHat
- 0 pressure? so nobody wanted her to run for the presidency? nobody tried to stop her from running for the CPFB? nobody at all? not the entire GOP Senate?BuddhaHat
- http://www.politicus…BuddhaHat
- republicans cited a lack of 'checks and balances on the CFPB' in blocking her nomination... nomination for an office that would allow her to crack downBuddhaHat
- on major financial institutions in the absence of similar 'checks and balances' in the financial system.BuddhaHat
- again degrees are meaningless. and the rest is meaningless. false associations and logical fallacies. look at what she has done. thats all that matters to medeathboy
- so again, your assertion that she was under 0 pressure is seemingly without grounding in realityBuddhaHat
- she was a huge asshat today. her policies are terrible and hypocritical. to me she might have paper but learned nothingdeathboy
- lets focus on her feminist beliefs if you would like because that seems to be a big differentiator for her branddeathboy
- ok, so now you don't appreciate her behaviour? did she indirectly or directly incite violence against someone? Or did she call someone in a positionBuddhaHat
- of responsibility to show some actual form of accountability for actions that have cost consumers millions of dollars?BuddhaHat
- ... ok what pressure is she under. specifics? you assumed it i saw none. i should ask you to clarifydeathboy
- degrees are meaningless... tell that to the majority of employers in the US today... you'll be letting them in on a secret!BuddhaHat
- oh wait i see the other things above... realtime would be nice..deathboy
- whether or not they impart knowledge to the student is distinct from whether or not employers perceive educational qualifications as being of value.BuddhaHat
- ugh its late. i wont look at her past. but im sure she is as equal in moving up the political ladder as anyone else.deathboy
- have u ever thought about the system of control created by gov+schools and licensing or degrees and protectionsimdeathboy
- they are 100% absolutely useless. You get a degree do u get a senior position, or an internship, than junior than real work experience up.deathboy
- id love to tell the majority its a scam, but you have indoctined people who bought in already, and gov+banks pushing the idea its a mustdeathboy
- if warren want to hurt banks she should go after the gov backed student loansdeathboy
- will anyone who paid 50k+ for a journalism degree really want to believe he wasted his money? or will he judge other based on wether they did what he did.deathboy
- which is another thing warren is completely wrong on. her stance son edcuation shows me she only learned what they wanted her toodeathboy
- im going to bed buddha. have a goodnight you hobnobdeathboy
- oh wait had this thought brushing teeth. shes against "predatory" loaning but backs gov backed loans. creates a bad incentive for banks to take advantagedeathboy
- an example where she is the ceo she railed against.no seppuku for her but asks it of othersdeathboy
- She did go after student loans...
http://www.nytimes.c…BuddhaHat - http://www.commondre…BuddhaHat
- she went after for profit colleges, not the gov backed student loans which create perverse incentives to loan to anyonedeathboy
- she blamed only for profit colleges, not the banks nor the gov who created the programs, nor the people who took out the loans, nor non profits...deathboy
- and shes probably a pawn of lobbyists or special interest just tightening control on the monopoly of education. plus more ppl in college, less unemploymentdeathboy
- if she was smart you think she would realize her hypocrisy? or is it she doesn't care?deathboy
- that's just entirely not true. she didn't blame only for profit colleges, can't you even see the URL I linked? She want after the Dept of Education.BuddhaHat
- ok i read them. it was worse than i thought. she just just making noise. shes just being mad as hell at everything. shes terrible at her job.deathboy
- i almost think shes trying to say the message of free school for everyone. profit motives bad when education involved. is that right? thats what it sounds likedeathboy

- actually what he said was taken out of context. credible main stream media post, and its GQ mag. gaud media is gone to shit..yurimon
- he spent several minutes talking about context and how it's impossible to ignore itmonospaced
- Media companies will do and say anything to grow their audience. Trump is their meal ticket right now. It'll be their shame if they lose him for the next 4 yrs.omg
- Yes, a vote for Trump is a guarantee that the media shitstorm will continue in the wake of the deplorable, thoughtless shit Trump says. make merka gr8 agin!monospaced
- I'm curious as to what context, EXACTLY, Trump's comments should be taken in, in order to not interpret them as Keith has.monospaced
- Confrontation is better than insinuation which begins with seduction. False messages running through your mind, free to imagine what it wants. Truth is friend.omg
- the whole thing was about the 2nd amendment nothing with threatening her. this was a complete run with putting it out of context.yurimon
- this what i like about trump. the media is trying to prop her up so much at the cost of the medias credibility.yurimon
- Please put it in context. Thanks.monospaced
- Cmon mono, Trump was just being sarcazzztic ... jeez.Ramanisky2
- this one is reaching for straws big time. i wonder who eats this stuff up without checking.yurimon
- Please check for us. Thank you. Waiting to hear what trump really meant, and what the correct interpretation is in the right context.monospaced
- yeah look it up he was talking about the 2nd amendment. you got fingers?yurimon
- but thanks for sharing. i didnt realize how far reaching the media crap is. this mind blowing at the extremity of GQ.yurimon
- Yes he was talking about the 2nd amendment. And he was talking about Hillary being shot too. No googling necessary. I looked it all up.monospaced
- Waiting still for the context where that isn't what he meant. your failure to provide this is just proof that is exactly what he meant.monospaced
- Unless of course you're just defending trump and his implication that Hillary should be shot to death. That actually makes sense because you are morally fucked.monospaced
- And that only means you are in fact the one brainwashed by the alt right media and it's conspiracy theories and flat out lies. Guess you'll believe anything.monospaced
- yeah im morally fucked. mr <-H bot. i listened to the actual speech. tone was not implying it at all.yurimon
- The deplorable yurinalRamanisky2
- this video was a steaming pile of horse shit. he used a whole lot of words to say nothing and this quote is miles away from any kind of incitement to violenceterry_cloth
- the fake indigence and catty scolding is cringeworthy, why did you post this drivelterry_cloth
- just read you and yuri's little back and forth and you seem to really buy into this fruity hysterical guys nonsense. you seem genuinely confused, maybe i can hterry_cloth
- elp clear this up. so, bodyguards have fire arms to be on equal footing with criminals who may intend to use fire arms against their client. criminals don't havterry_cloth
- -e fire arms legally. saying you don't support the second amendment while being surrounded by bodyguards with guns is an interesting irony that trump is pointiterry_cloth
- -ng out. nobody misunderstood that message except for idiots looking for something to get hysterical overterry_cloth
- She of course does support the second amendment though. When trump said otherwise it was a straight up lie.monospaced
- Talk about buying into shit. Both of you.monospaced
- this post is embarrassing mono, even for liberals. Its ok cause bad unresearched posts happen i guess.yurimon
- oh look there is a big h flag in the background. hmmm <-H news. never heard of that network.yurimon
- He is obviously referring to her stance on gun controll. It's interesting g to me, you extrapolated all sorts of crazy shit out of his body guard statement butterry_cloth
- When he says she wants to destroy the second amendment you take that literally. Confirmation bias perhaps. I am doing the opposite of buying into anythingterry_cloth
- Whatever she said, HE was the one who insinuated she should be killed. Thats' the context. Period. Go ahead, keep trying to defend him.monospaced
- he challenged her to disarm her guards because it shows a double standard of who would be allowed to protect themselves. its pretty obvious.yurimon
- he commented on her going after the 2nd amendment like yo boy ob did, a continuation.yurimon
- but she didn't ever say she wanted to repeal the 2nd amendment, that is completely made upmonospaced
- both sides say bull crap. he is playing on overall direction of the dem party. true or not, just like speculations, stereo types, who knows.yurimon
- but overall if a they choose a supreme court judge, what would be the interpretations of constitution. court is already being corrupted in my mindyurimon
- scalia was a good interpreter of the constitution. living method is like you give a dumbed down millennial authority to make legal choices.yurimon
- No mono, that was not the insinuation at all, I'm sorry but you are a hysterical moron. I'm done with this convo, good dayterry_cloth
- Of course it was the insinuation. To argue otherwise is ridiculous. I'm not hysterical either.monospaced

If Trump had told a room full of black people that the way to stop inner-city violence was to employ stop-and-frisk tactics to question and physically search people based on little more than applying unfair stereotypes, I wonder if he'd have gotten the same rousing response as he got from a room mostly full of white people. Because the white people in the room applauded the thought of stop-and-frisk being rolled out across the country; statistically, they're at little to no risk at all of ever being confronted by police, and at little to no risk of having their Constitutional rights swept aside to be accosted because their skin color is a reason to be suspicious of them.
Stop and Frisk in NYC was deemed unconstitutional, and to be unfairly targeting minorities. Yet Trump thinks it was a success, of course.
- Sus laws are always abused beyond their original remit - happened in the UK in the 70's and became one of the biggest reasons why everyone hates police.face_melter
- I think they'd applaud him
https://www.youtube.…_niko - Where's the house retard to tell you you're taking it out of context? Would love to see that asshole defend this piece of shit again.monospaced
- ^ you are filling that role up pretty quickly, me amigo.yurimon
- nope, not even close... I have never ONCE said Trump was taken out of context, and I've never defended his deplorable statements.monospaced
- I feel bad for the judge who ruled it unconstitutional they went politically after her. thats the bigger story for 1. and 2 yes he says stuff and people cheer.yurimon
- if you listen to the undertones it is police stateish in nature and look where we are 8 years in "change"yurimon
- reason popo state is going to increase because the responsibility actually falls upon you, the sheeple. everyones complacency if you wish to get to the core.yurimon
- its continued from 2001 sept and has grown with yo boy bama. helped the process along. "change"yurimon
- change! https://media.giphy.…yurimon
- so, you're saying stop-and-frisk is constitutional and should be used more? hard to tellmonospaced
- can you read? dude? this what you got out of what i wrote?yurimon
- No one can ever understand what you write yurimon. You need new words, new phrasing, new tact, new all of it.mg33
- I said, "hard to tell." I'm being honest, not ridiculing you. Relax.monospaced
- why would i go against the constitution. its true trump has police state undertones that people cheer. scary yes. nothing new as the over all directionyurimon
- from 2001 sept. thanks sheeple. last 8 years have been even a greater centralized precrime push then ever before. think about it. thanks ob, thanks sheeple.yurimon

Frankie Boyle - Offence & Free Speech - http://www.frankieboyle.com/fran…
I put it in the politics thread because 'free speech' and I didn't know where else to put it. It's a good read if you have a few minutes.
"I don't read newspapers anymore - I just lie to myself and cut out the middleman, but I think it's important to note that the press themselves are not actually outraged by what they report on as being offensive. No tabloid journo -whose life is invariably a shattered kaleidoscope of prostitutes, gambling, cocaine, self-loathing, literally going through a strangers bins, erectile disfunction and cocaine- is genuinely offended when some students dress up as the Twin Towers for Halloween. Outrage just makes good copy. It's easier to write, and simpler to understand. A tabloid hack knows that their average reader can barely read and they're not going to try to communicate anything like ennui in the vocabulary of a ten year old.
- shame his stand-up isn't as thoughtful as his writing. I supposed he wouldn't fill the O2 if it was.Fax_Benson
- wrong tense, dickhead.Fax_Benson
- Yeah, i'm a big fan of his writing, not so much a fan of his stand-up. He has ridiculously strong Scottish accent, which makes him hard to listen to sometimes.BuddhaHat
- his comedy is way better than his shitty guardian articles. its almost like hes sucking up to the very people who hate his jokesDillinger
- you might not need to worry about his Guardian articles, his last one was pulled by the editors for containing the word 'bummed', who knows if he'll do more...BuddhaHat
