Election 2016

[Strat]

So what is everyone up to for their last weekend on earth?

[McParadigm]

Pfft

[McParadigm]

Probably steal a soul, cook a spirit, vote for H Dawg two or three times.

As nice as it is to realize that this election is basically over, it remains terribly alarming to see the conspiracy insanity train truly run off the rails.

My cousin texted me today to ask if I'm still voting for Hillary, now that we know she's an active member of ISIS and a devil worshipper (what a remarkable combination, btw). Then he asked if I was worried because the non cool aid drinkers also own all the guns.

My brother in law isn't really spekaing with me. I was making fun of him with my sister (his wife) about all of the crazy alt-right articles and meme's he would post on facebook. We were mocking it via G chat. He read her chat history and he unfriended me and it was ugly. I wrote an apology letter basically telling him i should be able to vent to my sister about stupid shit and that should remain private and i still respect him as a friend/father etc. He wrote back. Not water under the bridge but its a start. The other night during the vikings loss to the bears I texted him (he's a bears fan) and said "Man, rooting for the Vikings is like voting for Hillary maybe!" As a nice olive branch. He responds with "Yea, nobody should vote for a criminal. Olive branch accepted"

Wut. Thanks. Onward!

You're a classier guy than me.

My response was...

"Sure, but playing the Satan card allows us to draw two more cards from our chaotic evil deck. So prepare to get fucked up the ass by Aleister Crowley while Jimmy Page guitar-firebombs your farm right out of existence."

One of the worst things about this election is that I really question my ability to be able to look at Trump supporters I know the same way ever again. And I don't like myself for that. I really don't. But man.

Just heard on the radio white supremacy groups plan on picketing at polling stations in a lot of major markets on the 8th. They are also going around polling stations in "ghetto" areas and giving out liquor and weed to blacks if they go back home and don't vote.

1) Take liquor and weed
2) Circle block
3) Repeat - you all look the same to white supremacists
...
80) Vote

I was producing a talk show for work last week and we had Sununu on for an hour. It was basically Henry Kissinger (seriously, Sununu is a dead ringer for the guy) talking down at a bunch of college kids trying to convince them that obstructionism is what the founders wanted. He was the most tone deaf, top down, pontificating asshole I've ever heard speak. And I went to Catholic school.

He was the most tone deaf, top down, pontificating asshole I've ever heard speak. And I went to Catholic school.

I was only barely paying attention back in the 90's so I just did a search for Sununu and airplanes.

As White House Chief of Staff, Sununu reportedly took personal trips, for skiing and other purposes, and classified them as official, for purposes such as conservation or promoting the Thousand Points of Light.[18] The Washington Post wrote that Sununu's jets "took him to fat-cat Republican fund-raisers, ski lodges, golf resorts and even his dentist in Boston."[18] Sununu had paid the government only $892 for his more than $615,000 worth of military jet travel.[19] Sununu said that his use of the jets was necessary because he had to be near a telephone at all times for reasons of national security.[20] Sununu became the subject of much late-night television humor over the incident.[18] Sununu worsened the situation shortly afterwards when, after leaking rumors of financial difficulties in his family, he traveled to a rare stamp auction at Christie's auction house in New York City from Washington in a government limousine, spending $5,000 on rare stamps.[21] Sununu then sent the car and driver back to Washington unoccupied while he returned on a corporate jet.[21] In the course of one week, 45 newspapers ran editorials on Sununu, nearly all of them critical of his actions.[22] Sununu resigned his White House post on December 4, 1991.

Sununu repaid over $47,000 to the government for the flights on the orders of White House counsel C. Boyden Gray, with the help of the Republican Party.[23] However, the reimbursements were at commercial rates, which are about one-tenth the cost of the actual flights; one ski trip to Vail, Colorado alone had cost taxpayers $86,330.[24]

Are these people mad because their scandals got punished and they don't feel Hillary/Bill has "paid" enough or something?

never mind, rhetorical question.

This is great

"i've stopped being homicidal about the election. like, two days ago. because i figured out that this is the best thing that could have ever happened to us. we are a country who has been so sick for so long - we've had misogyny and racism and homophobia and islamophobia bubbling underneath our skin. we knew it, it was there, but we couldn't see it. what has to happen for a person, or a sick country, to start rising, is that they have to hit rock bottom. thank you, mr. tr*mp.

"so what is happening now is that people are awake. all the women, all the minorities, all the people that-- for power to stay power, and not have to share power, what does power have to do? keep everybody below the power separate from each other. all power has to do is keep us afraid of each other. it's the oldest trick in the book.

"our job, as people of light, is the two most repeated phrases in the bible: fear not, and remember. remember means 'recall an old idea,' but what remember also means is the opposite of DISmember. like what we are right now: we are one human family, but we are scattered. our job is to REmember, to come back together. and the way we do that is: fear not. we do not listen to anybody who suggests that there is an 'other' that we should blame all of our problems on." - glennon doyle melton
