When you need to rant...

[Drtooth]

So now that Hillary's email scandal has gotten even worse again, unless something equally damaging were to happen to Drumph in the days to come, I'm more afraid now than ever that he'll win the election.

Actually, as it turns out, Drumph's rising back into the polls actually happened before the FBI decided to try her again on e-mails. Which, frankly, is worse.

Though, you'd think the fact that the KKK has officially came out to endorse him, a Trump supporting racist shooting police officers, and another Trump supporting racist burnt down a black church that some of his "only voting for him because he's a Republican" supporters would throw their hands up in the air and say "I'm out! This isn't worth it!" Also, as I said, if the Jews supposedly controlled the media, you'd think they'd expose his and his followers' anti-Semitism a little more.

Two words: Electoral College. Hillary is still leading.

I don't think that's quite as comforting. Nothing's final until its final, first off. Even if she's guaranteed at this point to get those exact electoral votes, I'm not assuming anything. Hillary needs to win both the Electoral college and the popular vote. We do not want to prove Drumph right about the election being rigged, at least against him. The Reps have been in the process of rigging elections in their favor for years now, and they aren't exactly secretive about it. But if it turns out that Hillary won only by Electoral college and she's actually a thin margin behind in actual votes, that sends up the dangerous precedent of proving the worst of his voters right. And remember, Drumph himself, as well as his crazier of supporters kinda threatened violence and a bloody coup. Don't get me wrong, I want to see these fat, 40 year old treasonous cretins collectively crap their pants when the US government drives a tank up to them. But we want to prove that the system wasn't rigged in the liberals' favors (they aren't) as well as proving that they can win despite the system being rigged to suppress Democratic minority votes.

Though, Hillary winning through just Electoral College is at least Karma for Dubya losing the popular vote.

Heh, it HAS always been rigged. Just not in the ways Trump rants about. As long as the electoral college exists, it will never be truly "our vote."

Trump's ego can be his own worst enemy. I can see why people would be crapping themselves if he won.
Hillary's email snafu makes her her own worst enemy. Last year, before the crap really hit the fan, if she just came out, came clean and fessed up, it would have made things much easier for her.
There's something to be said about politicians finally being held accountable for their actions. She's denied, passed the blame, changed her stories so many times she can't keep her own lies straight. Like, if you tell one lie, you tell another to cover it up. So many of her cronies and insider friends got perks from her financial manipulations. Some got rich off her wheeling-dealing. Now with the threat of further FBI probing, and the threat of jail time (if Obama doesn't pardon them), now some of her trusted aides are throwing each other under the bus to save their own skin.

Trump could make Nixon look like a choirboy. But in his own misguided way, he is aiming for something that has been needed to do for decades. We have a bloated, CONSTIPATED government that runs so inefficiently and bleeds money like a sieve. Run by Dems and Reps (Derps?) that don't give a crap about the public, only their own cushy jobs.
When Obama took office, we were 8 trillion in debt. Unacceptable, according to him. Under his watch, now it's 19 trillion. I wouldn't mind 19 trillion of debt, if we had 19 trillion of something to show for it. Roads and bridges are still crumbling, education sucks, health care sucks, the economy is stagnant, where did 11 trillion go, and who benefited from it?

If Trump got elected, and was able to pare down Washington to make it an efficiently run system like a business (maybe Mark Cuban should be consulted),
that would be at least one redeemable trait. It would really be poetic justice to see the lobbyists, politicos and incumbents that stunk up Washington for so long, earning millions for doing nothing, to see them have to fight each other for menial jobs. Let Anthony Weiner bus a few tables for 2 bucks an hour plus tips.
I'd pay to see that.

Keep in mind though, the Republicans still had control of the House all this time.

Perhaps, but look at the many times Trump's businesses went bankrupt.

I'll switch gears here to something more light.

Why is everything in the Flintstones named after rocks? They clearly have other materials like wood and cloth (animal skin, I guess). So, why is nothing named after those? Why is everything named after stones? Nobody today is named "Fred iPad" or "Betty Bowling Alley." Sure, you can argue it's the Stone Age, language wasn't invented yet. YET, they have televisions, weddings, CHRISTMAS. They're not exactly just standing around hitting each other with clubs. it just gives way for stupid puns and unoriginal names. "Rock Vegas?" How does replacing "Las" with "Rock" make a difference?

Same goes for the Jetsons. Yeah, it's the future. The general population in the present wasn't named after any space things, why would the future be any different? Just because they live in the sky?

 

[D'Snowth]

Because it's a recurring theme for both shows?

 

[Drtooth]

I'm going to completely ignore Drumph here. The thing I absolutely despise about every election cycle in the past 20 years, it's the idiotic notion that "we should run the country like a business." Okay. If that's indeed true, how come the only business professionals that run are horrible at running businesses? Carly Fiorina? She completely nose dived HP under her tenure, and fired an incredible amount of workers to save her own skin. Had it not been for the share holders kicking her out, the company probably would have gone bankrupt. Yeah. Run the country like a business. Make terrible choices, cost the country a fortune, throw the little people under the bus, and then sell the country off to the fastest bidder. Yeah. Here's something...

Corporations are also corrupt. Moreso than even the worst politician. That's why we have regulations. So too dumb to live, talent-less, got money from their daddy CEO's don't cut every single corner possible and give us unhealthy food and dangerous products. And how do companies react to regulation? By saying "Thanks. If we sent out those hazardous products we could have faced massive, money losing lawsuits and an expensive P.R. nightmare." No. Buy buying up as many lobbyists as possible to send politicians to deregulate things (spending money so they don't have to spend money...brilliant), and then face massive lawsuits, costly recalls, P.R. Nightmares, and sometimes even senate hearings. In other words, they lose a crap ton of money. Would you want anyone that incredibly gluttonous and stupid running the country?
Heck, Dubya had several failed businesses that lost his daddy's friends' investments. And we're surprised his economic policies wiped out a massive budget surplus?

I can't see possibly how Neo-Con economic values are actually conservative. How can the party say that the biggest threat to the country is giving away money to the lazy and probably not-white Welfare Queens, all the while giving corporations big tax cuts, tax loopholes, "subsidies" they don't need, and then letting them run a company as cheaply, lazily, and poorly as possible? And let's not forget the shifty companies that throw millions of dollars at the government so they don't raise the minimum wage. Uh...here's something. You know what workers that have to have several of these low paying minimum wage jobs to barely make ends meet have to do to make those paychecks last? Go on welfare! Let me reiterate. People who work have to go on welfare to survive. But those are the ingrate moocher class. Meanwhile, do the companies use the free government money (that they have to buy to get) to hire more workers or pay them more? NO! They pad their profits and their CEOs' pay. And then when no one can afford to buy their products because no one wants to pay them, guess what happens? They LOSE money. They spend money to get money to make sure no one else gets money and in the end, they lose money.

I'm not saying we should trust the government 100%, but how can you trust a bunch of spoiled daddy's kids who don't know the first thing about capitalism, and blame everyone else for their own screw ups?

Let's ignore all the terrible things about Drumph's personality and his dangerous followers. In the end, he's an incompetent business man who's only rich because he sponged off of daddy, who pays people to do all the business for him, and not even well, who paid corrupt accountants to cheat his way out of paying taxes and taking credit like it's a good thing, who has gone bankrupt multiple times and several of his casinos and hotels have gone under while he was running for president, who sues the crap out of anyone who left a contract with him after being screwed by him and loses, uses the same exact illegal immigrants and Chinese outsourcing he built his platform rallying against, and doesn't even build or make anything anymore and makes only money by licensing himself out like he's Mickey friggin Mouse, especially for a Ponzi scheme he called a University. In other words, a sponge that's terrible at his job that's exactly the same lazy, entitled, government money getting Welfare Queen the party whines about. But, you know, he's of the moneyed class, so Reps are perfectly okay with it.

Run the country like a business? How about having a business run itself like a business first. And yes, not all companies are run by entitled daddy's boys who got where they are because they started from the top on the merits of nepotism. Just the ones that cost their own companies and the country billions of dollars and jobs because they're too darn stupid to know how money works.

There is a petition with 1,000+ signatures to put Harambe the gorilla on a dollar bill. I live around the Cincinnati area and am a frequent customer at the zoo. I was quite sad when Harambe got killed and I understand trying to show the creature some respect but he's a FREAKING GORILLA!? I'm sorry about my language, but we do not need a GORILLA on the dollar bill. The call them "the dead presidents" for a reason. It doesn't even make sense to me why Benjamin Franklin is on one, but a dead gorilla on currency is just so ridiculous. On another note, I am sick and tired of the whole Harambe thing, it wasn't funny in the first place and it certainly isn't funny anymore. I'm so done with seeing "d!@$%s out for Harambe" comments and jokes making fun of something serious like that. I know that the little boy was okay (thank goodness) but the fact that people would joke about the near experience of a little boy just makes me sick. They even modded Harambe into Smash Bros. to replace to Donkey Kong, I'm sorry but I would much rather play as Donkey Kong (in a game centered around Nintendo characters) than make fun of a tragedy like that and offend various online players from Cincinnati (such as myself, even though I don't technically live there).

All the more reason for you to run in 2020. With your unparalleled insight, not to mention your open mindedness, tolerance to different opinions, and overwhelming compassion, you'd be a shoo-in. All you need is a Kick starter and off you go.

And you're not the least bit entitled to anything, are you?

Heck, if Drumph can run on 2016, and Kanye Pest is planning on running in 2020, surely Drtooth could run.
