Really speaks to how deranged and hateful the sexist press's vendetta against Hillary Clinton is that they turned a charitable foundation that has helped tens of millions of the world's poorest people into a scandal.

Wulfric announcing his endorsements as if they will actually swing people's votes is one of the most annoying things he does.

[Joe Republic]

*coughs* Teneo Consulting.

*coughs* shell game.

You know, coughing isn't a good sign for your health. You might be dead in 6 months.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

This is one of those subjects that should never be discussed on the internet.

[Joe Republic]

I'm not trying to be funny.

[LLR]

There shouldn't be a left-wing anything.

[Antonio the Sixth]

At least some of us are aware that we're awful!

It was funny the first two times, now it's getting scary. Anthony Weiner should abandon his political ambitions and consider becoming a character actor who plays creepy perverts on cable shows.

For example: "On tonight's Law and Order SVU, Anthony Weiner plays an elusive and violent subway flasher who's attacks are escalating as Benson tries desperately to capture him in a twisted game of cat and mouse that winds through the halls of the Capitol itself."

[Antonio the Sixth]

Isn't that what you call a Nazi who is too unfit to physically attack women, Jews, immigrants, etc. and so who does it from a keyboard in a dingy basement instead?

[DavidB.]

I'm not acting that way because I have a beef (pun intended) with vegetarians or anything.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The context is a discussion of 'heightening the contradictions'.

What I don't understand is how anyone can possibly think that it even works. Like for example based on it Margaret Thatcher would've brought about Prime Minister Corbyn (or some equivalent) decades ago...but no 18 years of Tory government and then the most right wing guy possible to lead the Labour Party. And Ronald Reagan sure didn't bring about a left wing Democratic Party or President.

Not hurting anybody = OK with me is the worst thing that ever happened in this country.

[Kingpoleon]

There shouldn't be a left-wing anything.

There shouldn't be a right wing anything, either.(sane, normal)

Time for a "simple truth" from the mind of FairBol.  Confucius say, "it is a wise man who knows that there is much he does not know".

Why are people so eager to misattribute sayings to Kong-zi? This is much more likely a Lao-zi quote instead.

[FairBol]

It's a "Lao-Zi" quote? ROFL. 

[Antonio the Sixth]

That's not how this thread works.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

It's a "Lao-Zi" quote? ROFL.  

Confucius says he's tired of scrutable Westerners putting words in his mouth.

But yeah, in tone what you said has more of a Daoist feel to it than a Confucian feel.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Destroy.  Moral.  Relativism.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

It was one of KP's best posts.

Unless kids are getting hurt, people should mind their own business.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Very embarrassing that the 32-year-old who has an obsession with 14-year-old Classic is now really butthurt after a burn from 15-year-old Kingpo.

Dear Lord, if Guinta is your proof of the Angry Women theory, you need to have your head examined more than I thought you did.

Fact 1) Guinta has traded off with CSP each cycle since 2010, reflecting the usual cycle of Democratic turnout (this largely b/c CSP seems to think that Honk n' Waves win campaigns). This is a Presidential year, when he has lost in the past.

Fact 2) Guinta was found guilty by the FEC. Why in the world would a majority of *any * district vote for him?

B-b-b-but if Guinta and Shea-Porter were running in Maine, Guinta would easily win!
