What?! - This thread will live and die... With you.
What is this, you may ask...
Well, I'll tell you, this is my quest against bordom. This quest will involve me and you, it will involve me researching a writing about topics in my opinion, and about you responding to those opinions.
I am writing this because I think enough people know what my views are, and with that they won't be all confused (as much at least).
Each week I will be selecting a new topic to talk about, yes this is a bit like the topic that lets you discuss a topic, but this is more about you discussing my opinions and creating your own. This is like my own dictatorship.
Okay... Lets get into the dirty stuff
I've got the idea after watching a episode of The Daily Show, at the very end of the Daily Show when they ran a clip of Trump talking about his assumption that he did everything. In the interview he said something about not seeing Obama's birth certificate, kindly, the interviewer pulls out a copy of the certificate, and Donald immediately pushes it away. Now... What this is telling me is that Donald Trump only wants some attention, he doesn't care about the actual certificate, just about what it is doing to his image.
After typing his name on Google, I came across many results, such as... Donald Trump booed... Trump drops F-Bomb, Trump called racist. And this is only the first 3 articles that popped up. In any of those articles I did not hear 1 positive thing. What this should say to Donald is that he's a joke, he should have never been in they frey, and should have stick to firing people.
I'll be doing my own little summary of the 3 articles I mentioned
This was not random people booing him, these were members of the media, people selected to write articles and vlogs about this person. The reason he has been booed so wildly is because of stupid, stupid comments like these.
calling America's leaders "stupid" and declaring the United States was "not a great country"
All in all, int the past month, in which he has declared that he wants to run, or is hinting at it. He has said some of the stupidest things that anybody has ever said outside if the internet. This will obviously be used against him if he runs, and I don't see how he can be so idiotic to say things like this!
Now this is just stupid. How can you be so dumb that you drop the F-Bomb, sure people have said the F-Bomb before, but not while thinking of running for president or for the GOPs top spot! All in all, just about every GOP candidate has said something stupid this year.
In this crazy 30-minute speech, Trump said several profanities in his speech, singling out political leaders and foreign policies for the most part. Therefore, making the entire world absolutely hate him, even though it's clear the press hates him.
Whilst saying that all his things are made in China, he also said that he is going to tax China through he roof, at %25! Does he have any idea how much that will make his products cost?! There is already enough inequality in China, does he want to make it worse by making Chinese companies compensate for that? Or is he just trying to shove China off completely, the USA can not survive without China as a trading partner.
"There is a really good chance that I wonât win because of one of these blood-sucking politicians."
Right you are. And I hope you don't win because your absolutely crazy!
This one has a video so you can listen to that and read!
David Letterman is my second favorite TV personality, second to Jon Stewart.
This was actually when Dr. Phil was on the show, the talks happened like this.
Letterman asked Dr. Phil, point-blank, "Do you consider him to be a racist?"
"I do not," he replied.
"Well how can you say things like that if you're not a racist?"
"I don't think he always thinks everything through," Dr. Phil said in a bit of an understatement. "I think sometimes he's a little from the hip. I don't think he has a racist bone in this body."
Now I have some respect for Dr. Phil, but I think he's being a bit of a favoritism because he's friends with Donald. As you can see, Letterman called Trump racist, which is correct, which white man has been called into question so deeply much like Obama has? McCain is less american than Obama, as far as I know McCain was born on a US Virgin Island, where Obama was actually born on a US State.
Trump is so racist he called his grandma black 'cause she's liberal. (Not true, but he would.)
It was obviously awkward for Phil, being a friend of Trump, as he tried to laugh it off as change the subject.
Recap!
What I think is that trump is a whack job who would ruin the country if he ever came close to being president. And that the USA is getting mentally stupid by the minute.
I'll give you the first one that comes up when I google 'mitt romney obama hangs'
Because googling something is a great resourceful source for getting unbiased information. He was making a metaphor to what Regan said about Carter in that debate with the misery index. Maybe people shouldn't be so sensitive. Romney is not a racist, he made a great metaphor that unfortunately sounded a little like he wanted to hang Obama, there was nothing in there that was racist.
Romney misspoke, and it's such a huge deal cause Obama's black. Wait, not even, He's half- black. People just like to make a huge stink about the smallest things.
It's not like conservatives aren't part of the problem, you can't call liberals racist without looking at the other side. Liberals may increase the magnifying glass to racism, but if the fire burns with jealousy then the conservatives are at fault.
That's complete partisan crap, and remarks like that are why we can't get anything done in this country.
Well... Wouldn't it make sense? Why would a democrat or liberal play the race card when they're celebrating a victory? But a large conservative figure could easily say it's because he's black.
They never have won, and never will, because there is absolutely no support for them out there. I just vote for who I agree with most.
I was being sarcastic. I know they have no voice in politics.

No, it doesn't make sense, because even most politicians are too smart to say something blatantly racist.***
Even though you said most, I'm still going to say it does happen often. Not as recently with politicians trying to be clear for the election, but a year ago it seemed like racial slurs were everywhere in politics, and maybe even more so with the Trump fiasco.
No, it doesn't make sense, because even most politicians are too smart to say something blatantly racist.
Many of them do it either unconsciously or very discretely.
They never have won, and never will, because there is absolutely no support for them out there.
Would you like to know why? Because as much as Americans rant on and on about being the leaders of the world, or the inovators, or whatever the hell they go on about these days. Socially Americans are terrified of change.
For some reason the country never made it out of the Cold War one hundred percent sane and now believes that they only way to change things is to have a two party system swing back and forth dismantling anything their opposition created while they were in office. That way they can enact laws that will just be taken down when they are kicked out. Not to mention hearing the word socialism some how equals communism...most Americans have a very messed uo view of communism.
America is stagnated. Plain and simple. You have a two party system. Two parties, that's all. Those are the only ones that are generally talked about. You may have Greens, Communists, Nazis, Liberals, Passe Faires, Theocrats, and a whole slew of others, however, they have no support. No one is willing to support them because they're stuck in a mind set that the only way forward is by taking two steps back.
Once more I present to you Canada. And once more I brace for the backlash that is sure to come from your over inflated national pride.
The Green Party of Canada. Back in 2000 they were almost completely unknown. This election, just over ten years later they may actually win a seat in parliment. The New Dempcratic Party (NDP) is now pushing to be the opposition to the Conservatives while the Liberals for the first time in almost...must be at least three decades, are minor opposition.
With multiple parties we breed competition. We have politicians fight hard for our votes, and our parliment is able to remove any minority government with a vote of no confidence under reasonable means. For the record that occurred several weeks ago and Canada will go to the polls on May 2nd. It inspires change, and taking down laws and policies becomes more difficult when you know the opposition can oppose you if you do not have a majority rule.
Change is not evil. Maybe you folks south of the border should try it.
@wolf: I am not terrified of change, that's exactly what we need to move this country out of the absolute crap hole that it's in. We need basically a major overhaul of how Elections are presented, voted for, and won. Mostly, I agree with you.

I love how you worded that, and yes, it is completely true. After the JFK assassination America tightened up, and got racist and scared of everything.
Liberals
Liberalism is generally associated with the democratic party.
With multiple parties we breed competition.
America has multiple parties, but as you said they have no support. The reason this is is because we have been fed with only two parties stances, the Green Party was a bit popular in the 90's, but has been pretty unknown.
In America we have two mindsets, traditional and expanding, we know nothing else so these are our political parties.

wow, how in the frakk did you associate the JFK assassination and racism? wtf?
I think you guys are not giving the citizens what they deserve. The republicans and the Democrats are the two parties we HEAR about, and yeah, most Americans will agree with a lot of issues on one side or the other. The average voter isn't going to go digging the depths of the internet to see what the stance is of (insert random minor party here.) it's too much work to fill out a little bubble, and if I agree 65% of what the Republican says, why not vote for him? Less work for me.

Social stagnation. This isn't the freaking Cold War people! It ended twenty years ago!
And the next person who comes to me and tells me "Well just 'cause it works for you don't mean it'll work for us" get's to be labbled an ignorant redneck. News flash America, the Soviets stopped trying to "corrupt" the world. In fact the only corruption I see is a two bit little man with roadkill for hair trying to sweet talk and buy his way into an arean he probably knows nothing about.
B*tch all you want to about Obama, because I'll be waiting to hear how you whine about the Republican who replaces him. You complained about Bush, now you complain about Obama. It's a vicious cycle people! BREAK IT!
Sorry Krizaz and/or Pyro that's not really directed at you, just me being angry with the way your country revels in the glory of it's Idiocracy
