Trump is the best candidate so far.

*bernie

Well duh.

Honestly I think it's stupid that they cut him now. He's been on the all the others for such a long time and the first votings start in three weeks.

I'll probably vote Jill Stein again, and I fucking hate the Greens.

Elections suck.

Gary Johnson is still around? Weird.

So you're calling it for Rands campaign? Makes sense, theres almost no chance he'll win it now.

It's really his own fault, he should've clung on to the cringe instead of moving to the center to gain moderate votes.

I can't, in good conscience, vote for a democrat
I can't, in good conscience, vote for Trump

Maybe if Cruz manages to win the primary..... but I've lost hope

Heres the way I see it.

I could more or less live with a Trump/Crux presidency, but I I couldn't stand a Hilary presidency and if memes get Bernie anywhere near the oval office I might just go postal.

If Trump wins, hopefully we'll end up with a wall and hopefully we'll start deporting mexicans en masse. If Cruz wins, we might get a wall, we might not, and some mexicans might get deported, but probably not that much.

Gun rights wise, I see Cruz as being the more pro second amendment candidate.

Foreign policy wise, I think Cruz would stay the course on Obamas foreign policy for the most part, Trump in unpredictable. Militarily I see Cruz keeping most if not all of the current Obama bootlickers in power, Trump is likely to replace them with some true bloodhounds and defer to their judgement, at least thats what hes saying.

From an economic perspective, it's difficult to say. I don't see any president really fixing this thing, but if Trumps ability is even close to his bravado he'll have a greater edge than Ted Cruz.

As far as dealing with Congress, I don't see either getting along with them, but Cruz would probably do better than Trump. Healthcare wise I think they'll both repeal Obamacare, though I think Trump will try to replace it with something similar. Cruz I have no idea.

This pisses me off, how is he cut, yet Jeb Bush remains?

because republicans are too stupid to know what's good for them

Or its just because Jeb has connections that Paul does not.

Bush has a slightly higher rating, and they've decided to only have the people in the top 6, which means Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Christie and Bush.
Bush has a an average rating of 3.8 and Rand has 2.8. Honestly it's stupid.

Forgot to log in.

Technically anything can be a meme. Since a meme is just an idea of sorts. There's just some super shit-tier memes.

You're a meme now.

Aw shucks

Do these idiots realize that by covering up the crimes they are essentially encouraging people to do more of it?

Won't make a difference in relation to immigrant-crimes, almost none of them know any German. One of criminal immigrants during New Years was caught having all kinds of sexual profanity written on his arm, which he told police he had translated from Arabic into German.
The real problem will come from the Germans themselves. Because if this, and all the other cases, had been revealed to the Germans instantly, we would see a much more moderate and rational response.
Instead this only adds fuel to the fire that is extremist right wing groups in Europe. And I can tell you the case in Sweden has caused uproar in all of Scandinavia.

This does not bode well for a free, peaceful Europe. And as long as they keep importing more immigrants, as long as the goverments refuse to acknowledge that mass immigration is a ticking time bomb, we only see increasing numbers of these cases and people joining extremist right wing groups.

They'd prefer to continue the narrative that promotes tolerance and multiculturalism. It seems racist if these middle westerners were condemned for mass rapes and assaults.

It's infuriating for me over here in the US to watch and hear.

Even a liberal view would acknowledge the political upheaval of the Middle East. IIRC, asylum applicants aren't even being vetted or checked for papers. I imagine ulterior motives may be involved.

I've seen speculation from trying to bring in a workforce for an aging Europe that allows the continuation of the nanny state cradle-to-grave benefits, to straight up white genocide and a single world ethnicity, and many things in between. Who knows what the real motivation may be.

The former sounds a lot more believable, frankly.

Yeah I tend to believe that over anything else. It makes sense to try and prop up a socialist system with immigrants when your birth rate doesn't allow the replacement of your population. And in a state where the older generations benefits are being paid for by the contributions of a younger one, that spells disaster.

I wouldn't say it's socialist or market capitalist, i.e. things people actually want. It's part of the EU's desire for a globalist workforce.

I'm sure that's a benefit. But I doubt if it was JUST for a more globalised workforce they wouldn't be tolerating and straight up ignoring some of these occurrences.

Money speaks louder than any atrocities. People profiting from this can afford to pay for private security detail if absolutely necessary,

What a hypocritical world we inhabit.

Middle easterners*

I think they should deport the men responsible. If it's too dangerous in Syria to do that now then they should put them in camps until they can send them back.

I'm of the opinion that as soon as a refugee commits a crime they're deported back immediately.

That would never happen though, since in Europe these refugees get slaps on the wrist for things that would usually put others in prison their whole lives.

I don't know if it's true about the slaps on the wrist thing. I agree with you on deportation though, unless it's something really minor and commited in ignorance.

you think ignorance is an excuse?

Well I'd say ignorance isn't an excuse, but if you commit a minor crime because you didn't know it was a crime, you should get a slap on the wrist. But MOST crimes are common sense, so I wouldn't defend someone if it was obviously a crime.

wow very progressive

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK

Typically when someone criticizes your opinion it's not because you have your own opinion it's because they think it's a stupid one.

I don't think I can fit all the links into one comment.

Pedophilia is pretty disgusting obviously. And that article was retarded.

But I don't believe you choose who you're attracted to. I don't think people choose to be gay or bisexual or asexual or whatever. Pedophiles just happen to be attracted to kids, which is clearly illegal for them to pursue any sort of relationship. But they shouldn't be attacked or punished until they have actually commited a crime. If someone recognizes that they're attracted to kids and that it's not right for them to do so, they should be helped, not demonized.

hyper religious Christians say that homosexuality is ok as long as you don't act on it
liberals think that argument is stupid

liberals say that pedophila is ok as long as you don't act on it

Liberals find the homosexuality argument stupid because they see nothing wrong with acting on it. Everyone agrees that child molestation is wrong liberals just feel that you can't just decide not to be a pedophile.

>>#103038, and then conservatives say that argument is stupid

1. ) Samefag.
2.) "Instead of some weird shit you do behind closed doors and gladly keep to yourself"
Reading comprehension at it's finest.
3.) To be clear, people with egregiously immoral fetishes would ideally be counseled into acting on those impulses as little as possible, and punished aggressively when those impulses result in tangible harm or crime. They shouldn't be hunted down or some shit, but we shouldn't passively approve of it either.

samefag?

Yes.

???

Cheaper food is usually very nutrient poor and calorie dense. But that's not the entire issue.

That poor people generally are stupid and shortsighted.

This tbh, fam

Healthy food is cheaper than unhealthy food.

You just have to buy bulk items like bags of rice, beans, oatmeal, etc. but it's cheaper.

But the poor are kept there by corporations, not by their decisions. This is America, no one sees the fruits of their own labor here. Come on, it's 2016.

Not sure whether you're joking or not.

That was absolutely satirical.

Oh. I've heard some progressive liberals make remarks like that but blame it on something silly like white nationalism.

Well I was trying to be convincing by emulating some of my stoner Facebook friends. The only thing I was missing was something about big pharma.

Heh. I would argue that laziness is very rarely a factor in poverty, though.

I was never arguing that it was due to laziness. I would say that it's more of a lack of ambition. Most people aren't going to be able to go from poverty to prosperity in one lifetime, but they can definitely work to where they've increased their standard of living by a decent amount.

Sure, but in my experience it requires one to completely enjoy giving up living in the moment, so poor people make the most of what they have.

Well absolutely. That's kind of the whole point. Ambition requires a willingness to sacrifice the present to create a better future. I clearly remember when my family was below the poverty line. Now my family is very well off. I understand what it's like.

Fair enough, but support of a family is something a lot of people don't have. Mine only climbed out because my extended family is huge.

I have a tiny family, and my closest family lives 6 hours away. So it isn't entirely necessary.

To each his own. If I didn't have mine I'd probably be in poverty still.

No self respect, I go into a bit down there.

Corn subsidies are probably a bad idea.

I agree

Add to that the fact people think exercise costs money, McDonald's is cheap enough that people can forgo cooking for it and that culturally we prefer big portion sizes.

The rich can afford gym memberships and personal trainers and dieticians. They also take time off work to exercise. Poor education about nutrition and cooking is part of it but to chock it up to poor people being stupid and shirt sighted is retarded.

that healthy food is expensive

Do one for Russians and Finnish farmers.

Oh lol, america fucking sucks donkey balls when they are FORCING away 18 year old males to a certain death because americans cant defeat the average rice-nigger lmao.

The whole United States army.
Anon confirmed gook.

>post crazy old guy again

Enjoy a lifetime of being irrelevant, paranoid and at the bottom of society anon

>americuck

This is actually a great showcase to show the dire situation were in.

Because we actually have courts who are against wearing our own flag. The very symbol of our freedom. The freedom which is the very core of our union.

I guess this only shows that the preservation of freedom is a constant battle that has to be fought with nail and claws.

I use this Christmas cartoon clip to showcase how political correctness is tightening it's grip on society.

Every Christmas they show this cartoon and every time they've cut away more scenes that are "inappropriate"

The original clip is 6:40 long
The one on national TV is down to just under 4 minutes.

youtube.com/watch?v=Jm_HUhHKWC0

This one

Oh and the one where drill a hole in the horse

I think thats still there
Everything else is correct

They also removed santas somewhat patriotic speech in the end

I don't understand why. The white doll answered wrong the first time, plus santa put the "ok" mark on it.

The black doll however answered correctly the first time and clearly self-enabled and independent because she puts the "ok" stamp on by herself.

Disney is retarded.

Or something obscure like that
I don't fucking know

The white doll have to speak properly, the black one doesn't

Let me guess what's deleted:
- The black girl doll
- The black marching band
- The chinese dolls
- the dancing green doll

And the black man on the donkeg caravan

Thanks.

Ok.

You cucks also have a nigger for president LMAO.

You can always vote for that one other party. Oh such a great democracy amerikike is, you guys litterally have TWO parties that are somewhat similar.

i never imagined you would say that.

but who do you prefer aside of trump?

Notice that I used the word "adaptation" instead of progress because the word "progress" have become so value labeled.

Obesity is a problem. Does that mean we should deny people access to the food they can afford?

Sexuality is a heated topic. If we agree everyone should have the same rights and no one should have special rights can't we just let these people do their thing? It's not exactly a lack of people on this planet.

I'm hugely opposed to attacking our history just because ot doesn't apply to our modern standards. Then again we should learn from history not copy it.

Humanity doesn't know how to take care of themselves because we no longer live in nature. It's that simple. All we're arguing about is how to best work together to provide for each others needs.

Everyone seeks pleasure. Every human want to feel satisfied. Every single one of us want to be happy. It's the means we achieve our pleasure that's different.

"Obesity is a problem. Does that mean we should deny people access to the food they can afford?"

Culture. In a society of excess with no self respect you will have people engage in gluttony. If it was a simple as "money correlates with food consumption" all the rich through history would weigh 600 pounds and the poor would all be in great shape, but it's the exact opposite.

"Sexuality is a heated topic. If we agree everyone should have the same rights and no one should have special rights can't we just let these people do their thing? It's not exactly a lack of people on this planet. "

Self respect and long term stable growth. Humanity should be above rutting with any stranger we meet when we get aroused. We're no different than pigs if we think of sex as some sort of instant pleasurable gratification and not something that is shared to form strong, stable, healthy families. Once again, this is a cornerstone of civilization. Also the sexualisation in media has distorted the minds of our populace, children who have no idea what they're doing have sex with other children randomly because they think they have to do it to be cool.

"I'm hugely opposed to attacking our history just because ot doesn't apply to our modern standards. Then again we should learn from history not copy it. "

History in the sense of shared history among a group. Forming bonds with one another through lineage or nationality is crucially important, because a nation is it's people and if you a nation of people with no country you have no nation at all. People need to be proud of their ancestors and where they came from. This is yet another cornerstone of civilization.

"Humanity doesn't know how to take care of themselves because we no longer live in nature. It's that simple. All we're arguing about is how to best work together to provide for each others needs. "

Not take care of ourselves in the sense of surviving in the woods. We're not competent as citizens anymore. Nobody knows what they're doing because theres been no real need to learn and theres no real reason to be passionate about ones work anymore. Why work to serve a nation you don't love? Why work to serve a family that doesn't exist or is dysfunctional? Why care about a community that doesn't care about you or itself? Why care about anyone else but yourself when society glorifies pleasure and victimhood?

"
Everyone seeks pleasure. Every human want to feel satisfied. Every single one of us want to be happy. It's the means we achieve our pleasure that's different. "

Theres is nothing more uncivilized than giving into base animal insticts to fufill base pleasures. If humanity wanted to do that we would still be raping and pillaging and stealing. We decided to pursue a higher station for ourselves. We put aside out primal urges. We didn't fuck anything we saw anymore, we married. We didn't kill to get what we wanted, we traded and worked with one another. We stopped working against each other for instant gratification and formed bonds with our fellow countrymen.

Civilization resists nature, if it didn't it would just be nature.

I strongly doubt that abolishing gay rights won't make life for non-gays any easier or different.

Though considering your usual ad-homs when this is brought up, you seem to be more concerned with others' personal lives than they are.

>complains about ad homs
>uses ad homs and strawmen

Shitty go home pls

I am home. I just barricaded the door because my sexuality is somehow ruining my neighbors' lives. With, uh, black magic.

I'd be at least a little worried if my neighbors strange kid was having sex with turtles tbh.

That joke avatar triggered the fuck out of you, didn't it?

I'm not as up to date on my tumblr lingo as you are, does "triggered" now mean entertained at an extraordinary level? If so, yes.

"my tumblr lingo"

I still maintain that your opinion of me isn't even relevant to me, but a caricature that exists only in your head.

Did you, or did you not, have turtle porn as your avatar?

If the answer is anything other than no I believe my perception of you as a turtle fucker is valid.

Because you're an angry, oversensitive idiot that can't take a joke.

Truly turtle fucking is the height of humor.

I'll prove that I have a sense of humor by continuing to make fun of you fucking turtles then.

And you aren't easily offended? Hah.

Yes. I'm not easily offended. if I was I would've stopped speaking to you after discovering you hump animal mutants. But I'm a tolerant guy.

"I'm not easily offended except when I am"

But, thats not what I said.

Oh wait.

Thats your argument.

Very clever, I guess.

If I have to be something I'm not, so do you.

Alright, second times the charm.

Did you or did you not have turtle porn as your avatar? If the answer is no, we'll agree that you're not a turtle fucker.

I mean really, the requirements to not be a turtle fucker aren't that high. You just need to not fuck turtles and/or not have any porn of turtles fucking. Simple.

So no, you have not heard. And are telling me what I think.

Have you seriously not heard of the cropped porn maymay? It's supposed to be something gross.

Shiny, thats not a meme.

From what I understand you're an admitted furry. Is that wrong?

If the answer is no I think the reasoning for you having turtle porn as your avatar is pretty straightforward/

I have some MGS related avatars I used, too. Does that mean I want to kill people?

No no, but it does show a desire for MGS.

Just like turtle porn represents a desire to fuck turtles. Or turtle dragons. Granted I haven't studied the anatomy of Bowser as...in depth as you have. :^)

"all the rich through history would weigh 600 pounds and the poor would all be in great shape, but it's the exact opposite."

Actually at different times wealth and weight has had either a negative or positive correlation. In most cultures prior to industrialization the poor were routinely skinny (there's more to being in shape than not being fat you know) as they had to preform manual labor and food was scarce. Now how the rich ate depended on the culture. Some places fat was revered as it was a sign of ability to secure food. Others thinness, as it showed one could pick and choose when they ate. Still others physical fitness was the desired look, as it showed dedication and the ability to devote time to one's appearance. Currently the poor are overweight because the most cost efficient diet is calorie rich and nutrition poor. It's more convenient to live off fast food and snack cakes than rice and beans. It has nothing to do with culture (although ignorance of nutrition and cooking is part of it) it's simple economics.

"if we think of sex as some sort of instant pleasurable gratification and not something that is shared to form strong, stable, healthy families."

The fact we no longer have chastity belts and marriage contracts is not a sign of the decline of civilization. People are capable of having sex before marriage and still forming lasting bonds. In fact being more open about love and sex allows people to look around and find the right person rather than force themselves into an unhealthy relationship.

"Forming bonds with one another through lineage or nationality is crucially important"

I don't really disagree, as long is it doesn't get into ostracism of others.

"We're not competent as citizens anymore. Nobody knows what they're doing because theres been no real need to learn and theres no real reason to be passionate about ones work anymore."

I see no evidence that this is the way the world is today.

" We didn't fuck anything we saw anymore, we married. We didn't kill to get what we wanted, we traded and worked with one another."

We still did and we still did. There was sex outside of marriage, the greeks for example regularly copulated with young boys. Marriage was a contract to secure the inheritance of property. War for resources was common and murders never really gone away.

And so a comedian became the most powerful man on Earth

First of all, I disagree that he's just a comedian, but that isn't such a surprise.
And I'm not going to try to persuade you into liking him.

But if it can be any consolation, remember that while he gets the final decision, he has a ton of advisers, many of who have been in the business for years and are some of the most capable in the world.

Let's hope he listens to them

If trump is just a comedian then Obama is just a history teacher. Or community organizer. Take your pick.

I'd go for the history teacher or community organiser
At least they do something useful

This just in: Internet liberal says Al Sharpton is "useful", country erupts in laughter.

Actually I said that history teachers and community organizers are useful

Obama is on the same level as Al as a "community organizer" and spending a lifetime teaching constitutional law apparently didn't give him enough insight to understand a comma in the Bill of Rights.

Really though I'd say he was the first comedian president considering all of his talk show appearances and friends in hollywood. Lord knows he's been assisted by an army of "comedian" pundits throughout his presidency.

Trump just doesn't need the assists.

Indeed he doesn't
Hes comedic enough on his own

Yes, but in all fairness Cuckie Panders supporters are easy targets. It doesn't take that much skill to out bant le may may socialist jew army.

Socialist jew army? Is it not the right that's in love with Israel?

If we're talking about the US then both the left and right support the motherland.

Though I wouldn't expect that Sanders supporters political acumen goes beyond anything other than "gimmegimmegimme."

Sanders is pretty much a comedian as well.

If you like the European society you're most likely left leaning.

If you'd rather have a completely free market then you're most likely right leaning.

There are pros and cons to both sides, it's just a shame that the comedians on both sides are the ones whos getting media attention.

I guess serious politics isn't as exciting as banning muslims or de-funding the military.

People don't want politicians anymore. Thats what happens when nobody is happy.

If this was a strict establishment race Jeb Bush would lose to Hilary Clinton. But the people have decided they don't want that. So now we're here.

People are simple.
They want to hear simple words like walls and free money.

Running a country is a complex, boring and tedious task. If you're not interested you vote for someone with a fancy slogan that know as little about running a country as yourself.

Then we get to a point where people vote for the second most ridiculous candidate just to prevent the most ridiculous candidate from being elected.

Wonderful isn't it?

So 4 years ago when we had two establishment candidates who had the same opinions on almost everything people were somehow smarter?

It sounds like sour grapes. Regardless people don't like where the country is headed, so they're changing direction, good or bad thats democracy.

It's bad to only have two choices
It's even worse if both the choices are the same
It's worse again if they are bad choices

You're right indeed. This is democracy and the country is changing.
I just wish it was changing to something less flashy and a lot more serious.

"Seriousness" is subjective. Many people think that the norm for the last 20 or 30 years has been a complete joke. The fact that the most powerful nation on earth can't protect it's borders and the only options that we've been given have been amnesty and making it easier to get in legally is laughable.

The idea that we must give special credence to men who put on dresses and address them as brave heroes is ridiculous.

The fact that people start witch hunts to force people who believe in traditional marriage out of work is absurd.

The fact that police are being demonized for fighting with resisting criminals and that thugs are being worshiped in the media is clownish.

The fact that anyone attending a university in the USA is almost guaranteed to spend years getting a specific political ideology shoved down their throat is silly.

You wanna know why Trump is so popular? It's not because voters just suddenly caught the retard bug and are just venting all their deep seated bigotry. It's because people are tired of the progressive america we've found ourselves in.

White americans are tired of being told that everything is their fault. They're tired of being forced to accept an ideology that the media is shoving down their throats. How many articles screaming about how awful and disgusting white men are did they think they could write before people stopped saying "I'm sorry" and got pissed off?

You want someone to blame for Trump? Blame liberals. Theres only so much a group can take before they revolt.

Don't go all philosophical on me. Almost everything can be called subjective if you stretch it far enough.

You already have your mind set.
I'm not going to assign blame or debate what could have been different. You have your opinion and even though I disagree with a lot of them they're equally valid.

Yes I agree progressivism has gone way to far recently (especially at universities). Then again people seem to forget that this group indeed used to be opressed in recent past. Its part of the reason people got sick of conservative America as well.

Nothing we can do other than observing.

America hasn't been "conservative" since the Boomers. Even RR's "revolution" didn't do much to change the ideological landscape in a truly meaningful way.

It's been 55 years since the flower children bloomed. If there was going to be some type of mass push back it would be now, though I'm not sure of any long term success. Butt stranger things have happened.

Looking to the past is rarely an answer.
Society is constantly changing and we will change with it.

I prefer adaptation over regression. After all isn't that the goal of society? To develop the human race? To make us something more than... well animals.

Theres comes a point when progression for the sake of progression is regression. In terms of being ready for the world the last 3 generations have been on a steady decline. We've been given almost everything, most people are coddled and don't know how to handle their emotions, sexually people are confused and the interference of witch doctors hasn't helped much, obesity is an epidemic because we have no self respect, broken homes produce broken people without fathers and mothers so kids dont have role models to emulate besides Miley Cyrus and 50 cent.

How is this progress? Why is tearing down every building block that formed civilization itself some kind of cultural victory?

A nation where everyone fucks everyone else like animals, where nobody knows how to take care of themselves or others, where the pursuit of pleasure is glorified, where no healthy relationships can be formed, where the populace is dumb and fat and scared, where nobody has anything to believe, no god and no country, no identity, no language, no history or lineage.

That is regression. That's what we were before civilization. Dumb meaningless animals.

Carson is irrelevant, Bush is selling guacamole bowls for $75, Clinton is getting herself in more trouble with every word that comes out of her mouth, not even the blacks like Sanders, and Trump is leading the polls.

Might as well just get a job as a Wall Guard already.

I actually like Carson but he has the personality and Charisma of a country diner salt shaker.

I was watching a Bill Whittle from 2009 yesterday, and he predicted that the next battle for the presidency would be between Hillary Clinton and a republican candidate who was "from the pop culture" and that people would vote the republican candidate in as they were not wanting a clone of Obama, though he is also a staunch conservative and I doubt he was unbiased in that prediction. But a lot of those things he predicted about political happenings these past 6 years have been correct looking back, I hope this one comes true.

Wow, let an amerifat tell me about my own country. Also:
>dn

That ''news'' site is nothing but shitty cickbaits and litterall commie propaganda. You amerifats should take a look at your own social problems instead of cherrypicking problems in the utopia aka sweden.

Didnt even read your text btw, i'm just assuming its filled with litterally jealousy as always.

The chief of police in the region admitted to "toning these cases down" in order to not play into the hands of the only immigrant restrictive party in Sweden.

What a joke

Shut the fuck up and kill yourself.

^ jealousy overload
