wtf is this shit?
It might actually be the dumbest thing I've ever read

Same. It was a challenge to get through the first paragraph without going into a blind rage.

And for those for whom this is their first introduction to Armond White, I urge you to not go seeking out any of his other opinions if you value your sanity.

Speaking of football and horrible ideas, how's Tom Brady with his Trump support?
Does this mean he's not doing the next one?

He didn't write this though, yeah? Did he repost it approvingly or something?

You say that like I clicked the article or something. I saw "Armond White" and stopped right there.

To be clear, he did not write this piece. He just shared it on Facebook.

My wife's sister supported it on Facebook. And got 6 likes from women.

I mean, I just read a lengthy piece written by a college educated woman about how women shouldn't have the right to vote, for no reason other than to put an orange moron into office. This must be what it's like to go insane.

These Podesta emails are pretty bad. Trump supports have already forgotten about p-grabbin'


Also the Obama boner show off video is more funny than offensive

538 published an article yesterday that included the thought experiment: what would the election look like if only men could vote? What would it look like if only women could vote? They used the current breakdown in gender for the most recent polls in each state, and found that if only men voted, Trump would win 350-188 (which is actually very close to their projections for Clinton right now) and that if only women voted, Clinton would blow him out 458-80 (which would be the largest victory since Reagan '84). Remember: this was just a thought experiment.

Well, today, Eric Trump sent out a fundraiser e-mail using the "men-only" map as some sort of representation that Trump is gaining momentum: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the ... verything/

This campaign is in the Tyson Zone.

Trump: "Put her in jail!"

Kellyanne: "You're taking him too literally!"

Trump: "No seriously, put her in jail."

We have a repeal the 8th movement here. Basically to make abortion legal in Ireland.

I'd like if only women got a vote in that referendum. It's nobody else's business.
