US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

Please tell me you know I was joking.

Of course i understood that was facetious.

[zale]

In case you need a scorecard to keep track of whether or not Bannon is an anti-Semite, Breitbart (no conflict of interest there) just put out a statement by Mort Klein of the ZOA bashing the ADL for calling Bannon an anti-Semite, but the Forward then explained how he could be both pro-Israel and an anti-semite at the same time.

So it's a machlokes ZOA and ADL with the Forward being the machria.

Lo alman Yisrael! Glad to know we have such clarity with us right here in our dor.

There was a Ben Shapiro interview by Vox. Ben explained it very well.

Either way, now that the Dems are nominating a Muslim with ties to the Brotherhood to head the DNC, they should shut their fat mouths.

That is called diversity and inclusion.

2024 will be David Duke running against Al Sharpton.

[Cheesecake]

No such thing as a negative vote.

They use their positive vote to vote against the candidate they hate more.

As I did.

[JTZ]

2024 will be David Duke running against Al Sharpton.

Who do you vote for? 

[hachover]

Yes. Since that's what he said he did and that is what others said he did to them.

He says he's a billionaire and pay huge amounts of tax. Do you believe that too without a grain of salt?

[zale]

Who do you vote for? 

I'm moving to Canada.

[JTZ]

I'm moving to Canada.

Have you been to Canada before? 

[zale]

Have you been to Canada before? 

Yes... it would be a last resort, but it would leave me no choice.

Truth is, maybe I will say that I was just joking and stay after all.

[Cheesecake]

Who do you vote against? 

FTFY

[yuneeq]

I think he definitely pays huge amounts of tax.
While also avoiding huge amounts of tax.

John Oliver in his mostly unfunny bit after Trump's victory had this line buried in there addressing whether the answer is to move to canada:

"literally the only excuse to ever migrate to Canada is if you were born there originally, it’s springtime, and you are a goose"

[Baruch]

Just want to say, that I have a deeper appreciation of Chazal's seperation of the genders, after hearing the national discussion after the Billy Bush tapes.

[Freddie]

2024 will be David Duke running against Al Sharpton.

No Farrakhan. Al Sharpton is already mainstream.

@aygart, I think you'll like this

Yes I did! Thanks! He articulated it better than I did (not surprisingly).

Regarding the emboldenment of right wing anti bigotry, I said previously that the prime reason for their embolenment is due to the Dems thowing around the bigotry label without regard to facts. When everyone who disagrees with the Dems is a bigot thenthat makes half the country bigots. If half the country are bigots the real ones will feel that they have half the country on their side. When a candidate is labeled as a major bigot they will now feel emboldened by it. When Trump says that we should stop illegal immigration and the Dems frame that as being anti immigrant that gives a license to those who are truly anti immigrant.

Was just thinking that this morning
 This is literally the circle:
Media: trump is a white supremist,bigot, etc....
White supremist, bigot,etc: we endorse trump
Media: see trump.must be one bc they are supporting him

Funniest line of the entire piece.
As well as the eight ball line (which is sadly accurate)

I find that some of the humor is good, and some of the 'informational' stuff (for lack of a better term) is good - but mostly when they don't overlap too much. Like the goose line is really unrelated to the topic, and is just a funny line at Canada's expense.

I think that's his goal. He forces you to listen to boring information, by throwing in mildly related jokes.
