Not Voting is dumb. especially when you could all collaborate to write-in for the same joke candidate and at least make it on the news for five minutes

I'm voting for Bernie Sanders because I don't have any moral objections to American imperialism, I just want a bigger piece of the pie.

liberals are shitting their pants about Trump and yet the best attacks they can come up with are "if we deport illegal workers then Americans will have to do the shit work". lmao

And, make no mistake, filling the jobs left behind by immigrants being forced out of this country is absolutely a need he'll have to address. We learned that the hard way when Georgia imposed strict enforcement of bans on employing undocumented workers. Farmers quickly lost an astounding 40 percent of their workforce and, in turn, about $140 million in crops that were left untended due to labor shortages. When they tried to stop the bleeding by "allowing" prison inmates to do the work instead, the plan failed when most of them balked at being asked to perform such grueling tasks.

So ... he's going to sell teens on deporting immigrants by promising that they'll get sweet farming jobs that even criminals don't want?

(picture of farm field workers)

Pass.

Maybe a shot at washing a dish or two? Nope. Stripping away birthright citizenship wouldn't just drain the workforce; schools would feel it in a huge way as well, from grade school all the way through college. Maybe escaping the streets of Chicago to work on a farm isn't appealing enough to make any young voters vote yes on what definitely won't turn into a genocide situation of some sort, but going to college on the taxpayers dime somewhere in California might.

How's that for an uncomfortable situation for a liberal to be in?

lol forever

trump is like bitcoin, people tie themselves up in rhetorical knots and end up arguing against him by throwing around concepts that betray their own deeply confused fascism

... this (gun crime law) could be difficult for a candidate running against Trump to oppose, because it will ultimately boil down to explaining how this is, in the most technical and unfortunate sense, anything short of exactly what liberals have always wanted.

Note that the whole "replace migrant labor with prison labor on the farms" idea is the author's own fantasy that he is projecting onto Trump, not a policy suggestion of Trump himself.....

like any good liberal i don't like slavery but you know what? i asked a bunch of freedmen if they wanted to pick cotton for no money in an environment of heavy whipping and they said no

"To huge applause, Trump promised to “bomb the shit” out of ISIS:


'I would bomb the shit out of them. I would just bomb those suckers. And that’s right: I’d blow up the pipes, I’d blow up the refineries. I would blow up every single inch. There would be nothing left.' "

Sounds like a solid anti-war candidate to me.

excuse the necromancy but:

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump said late Monday that the Iran nuclear deal made Tehran a global power that now threatens Saudi Arabia’s existence.

“We made a power out of Iran,” the outspoken billionaire told host Bill O’Reilly on Fox News’s “The O’Reilly Factor.”

“They are looking to go into Saudi Arabia,” Trump continued. "They want the oil, they want the money, they want a lot of other things.

“That’s phase one — to go into Saudi Arabia and, frankly, the Saudis don’t survive without us. And the question is, at what point do we get involved and how much will Saudi Arabia pay us to save them? That’s ultimately what’s going to happen.”

Trump argued that his presidency would back Saudi Arabia in any regional conflict that emerges in the Middle East.

“Well, I would want to help Saudi Arabia,” he said. "I would want to protect Saudi Arabia. But Saudi Arabia is going to have to help us economically. They were making, before the oil went down ... they were making $1 billion a day.”

Trump additionally charged that aiding Saudi interests is essential, given the possibility Iran eventually acquires nuclear weapons.

“You know that Iran is going to have a nuclear weapon very soon,” he told O’Reilly. "The ink isn’t even dry, and they have already violated the deal and a lot of people are calling for sanctions.”

I'm really glad that Sarah Palin took personal time out of dealing with her violent podunk hillbilly family to endorse Donald Trump, the day after her son, Track gets arrested for beating up his girlfriend then chasing her around the house with an assault rifle before aiming it at himself in front of the police and threatening to commit suicide.

Please make America great again Donald Trump. Please fix my family.
