I've been following the US election news. The only thing Americans can seem to agree on is that half of them are idiots.

As for that 17 year old who shot multiple people: the republican reaction is disgracefull.  It's OK because it was self defence? I'd rather have him be punched in the face than him shooting about.
It's bad enough that police officers snap every now and then, shooting people who were posing little threat to them, the last thing people need is for idiot civilians to start doing the same.

I'm also betting my money on Trump being reelected. I'd think people who are outraged will be more motivated to go vote than people with a semblence of common sence and moderation.

It's sickening.  I don't know what to think about my country anymore.  The seventeen year old walked right past police officers after the shooting, yet Jacob Black gets shot seven times for supposedly having a knife.

America is impoding. Our elected tools are doing nothing except the bidding of their corporate masters and using political theater to shift blame. Both sides of the isle have been giving the working class the middle finger for decades, and still no guaranteed healthcare during a fucking pandemic. Disgusting. I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is, I hope there's an especially nasty place in hell for corrupt politicians.

Depends on your interpretation, but they'll go to hell, be stuck in purgatory, or find it extremely difficult to get into heaven...though maybe not impossible? Either way, it's not looking good for them compared to your average joe. Whether there's a special place in hell for them depends on the importance you give to theologians and visionaries, as while there are some references to specific tortures, for the most part hell is just hell in the bible; totally unlike Dante's inferno, for instance. But I'm all for expanding Christianity to think of people like Dante as prophets, in which case they'll be drowning in boiling pitch, or something like that iirc.


To be fair to politicians giving the working class in America the middle finger, they kinda rolled over and welcomed the middle finger themselves. Not unlike how many black communities themselves campaigned for more violent policing. But I dunno, maybe it's more expedient than facing the level of violence with which America has historically suppressed labour movements, and police brutality is certainly not as bad as when the KKK served the same role.

I've been rereading some of this thread and can say that of these last 4 years, the clear high point in Trump's presidency has been #RakeAmericaGreatAgain.  Still cracks me up everytime I read it.  LOL

I too will be voting. At the risk of sounding beaten down, my main goal is just to go back to a time when I didn't know what the president was doing every single day because He's always tweeting, and he doesn't feel the need to make headlines.

I'd say we're more kind of in the middle of the bowel movement.

Last night's "debate"! LOL

I always vote. Thankfully, Colorado has had mail in voting for years now.

I watched some of that “debate” last night and my god was that ever a circus, and Trump was the lead clown. LOL

I don't know, it's kinda lacking in the relief and satisfaction of a bowel movement...

Either he gets sick and has to admit it's all pretty terrible, or he doesn't get sick and 'proves' it's all hokum.

If Biden doesn't get it too this virus is really revealing its liberal bias.
