  1. Demopublicans Or Demopublitarians might be better. All you Johnson lovers crack me up thinking this guy is perfect and the only honest politician out there. He's lied about his past record as governor when running in 2012, and is just your typical politician. https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=210816 Also, it seems that the Johnson supporters on here are following the lead of Johnson himself, always taking a chance to criticize Trump, but taking it much easier on Hillary. It's not a shock to anyone on here on why this is happening given there is much more overlap between the GOP and Libertarian platforms than there are between the Libertarian and Democratic platforms. http://thelibertarianrepublic.com/gary-johnson-criticize-hillary-trump/ Wat? Nobody on here has said they are in love with Johnson lock step. We've just said he's the only true alternative that isn't an embarrassment. Trump is a POS and Hillary is about as slimmy as a hagfish. Johnson at least has something to offer to both conservatives and liberals in his agenda. He doesn't offer anything to this liberal. I can see why conservatives may think him an option but it really depends on the issues that are important to you. AND, he's not going to win. A vote for him will make the chances of Don being elected higher. I would think it's conservative voters that don't want Trump and vote Johnson who are gonna take votes away from Trump. Not according to the polls and data that is out there. Johnson is pulling most votes from Clinton.
  2. I'm surprised that everyone is quick to say he should lose his job. In the real world this might happen if driving was a requirement of the job, but in not many other circumstances that I'm aware of. Poor judgement - yes. Needs help - yes. Gets fired - seems a pretty dramatic move to me (edit) before we know more.

I don't agree with Johnson on a few issues, but after reviewing all the candidates positions tha knap posted, I'm surprisingly more in line with him than any of the others. What part of this do you think is a poor way of thinking?

  5. I think he's already got his OV scheduled to come back. He's gonna wait I think - maybe in like Oct/Nov he'll announce.
  6. This is the guy who has been boycotted on college campuses and kicked off twitter for horrific comments he's made about african americans and being a cyber bully. He's a terrible person.
  7. There is no such syndrome. Yes there is...Compulsive Lying Disorder. http://www.compulsivelyingdisorder.com/what-is-compulsive-lying-disorder/ A pathological liar enjoys lying just to see what they can get away with. A compulsive liar does it more to benefit themselves personally or to avoid a bad situation. Hillary has compulsive lying disorder I believe instead of pathological lying disorder. It's not recognized by the DSM-IV. Who cares...as with any medical condition, there are varying opinions about different disorders. You of all people I thought would be interested since you started your Narcissistic Disorder thread. http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/compulsive-lying I care - medical professionals verify meds and disorders with unbiased, scientific information that they then review and agree upon. They haven't done so on this. They have however, agreed that NPD is a real thing. They do say that lying (pathological and compulsive) is often a symptom of a disorder, but not a disorder itself. And I will guarantee you that not every physician is in 100% agreement on what is deemed a disorder or not. With that said, since you seem to be an expert on what is and isn't a disorder, what would you call Hillary's compulsion to lie, including lying about lies? That may be true, but what one doctor may think doesn't exactly cut it when it comes to medicine and defining ailments, diseases and syndromes. Medicine isn't based on opinion it is fact based. Pathologic liars lie about everything. They can't help it. My understanding (don't have a PhD or Psych MD) is that compulsive liars are more motivated to get gain from their lies, and they are specific, situational. From your perspective, Hillary is a compulsive as her lies are specific to situations. I'm sure though your response will be that she lies about everything. My only point is that factually there is no syndrome. Period. There is no gray area. You just made the point I was making...that she aligns with CLD and not PLD. She lies for personal gain over and over. Take the D of the end of those and I'll agree at least your opinion is a possibility. As we started out with There are no defined disorders - they are symptoms.

  11. I don't believe I've said that I don't believe their findings. Just that I am a but suspicious. In my first post I said that my gut feeling was they were correct about Baltimore, Boston and Ferguson. I was simply trying to raise the point that the DOJ or any government agency that is controlled by political appointees may not be the most unbiased source. That is why I asked if any independent outfits may have done similar studies. I don't regularly wear a tinfoil hat but I do not blindly trust the government either. Everything is too politicized these days. I wish that weren't the case but I think it is. I won't argue the point with anyone who doesn't feel that way. Fair enough JJ. I've been told by many (family and colleagues) that I'm naive and because I believe that people as a general rule follow the law and do the right thing I sometimes miss the boat on the apparent gray area stuff. Just isn't good for my headspace to linger in the negative. Yes, my bubble is very nice and comfy inside.
  12. Agree with your analysis of the tweet but not the PKs. She was moving but the keeper pretty much has to guess which way to go and she was guessing wrong. Once you're moving one way and the kick goes the other way, there's nothing to do. Yeah I may have been a little harsh to her, it was the last pk where she barely moves in my opinion. Now, the reason we lost wasn't on her 100 percent, but after you give up an easy last goal you own up to your mistakes. I do not like the attitude at all, and as a professional she should know better. Lots of people are watching her and I realize she made a mistake and the odds aren't in her favor. I am going to take it as she was in the moment and didn't mean to say that, but even if it was, it makes the US look bad. From what I understand, her coward comment referred to Sweden's conservative play throughout the game, not the PKs. She still should have kept her darn mouth shut, though. Yes, supposedly she felt their gameplan was conservative, but even the US coach said regardless of what it was, they made a plan and had the discipline to stay on it. I read somewhere along the way that the coach for Sweden was the coach for the US last olympics and she knew exactly how to get play against the team and against Hope in particular. As much as I hate the USA to loose, I am always happy when a cocky, mouthy egomaniac gets put in her place on national tv.
  13. Ok, so let's say they're biased (I don't agree with that, but I'll play along) do you think that they'd push the numbers as high as they were in this Baltimore report? Wouldn't that be just a tad flagrant?
  14. Hope (like Trump) needs to have her Twitter passwords taken away from her. She makes bad, bad decisions. Forget her personal off the field issues, she has shown poor sportsmanship time and time again and has continued to be less than professional.
  15. I don't like the word panties. I have heard a lot of people say that. Is it just one of those words? I HATE saying swimming trunks. No idea why but it just creeps me out. Moist. Nipple. (Not together... that's worse) Ointment. (and I agree with all your others ... )
  16. Worth a watch if you have 5 mins and want to get really depressed and frustrated with our current situation (or if you love getting confirmation that Trump is a nut job). http://boingboing.net/2016/08/08/trump-disagrees-with-every-pos.html
  17. Today Trump is claiming that these comments were sarcasm. WTF http://www.nbcnews.com/card/trump-suggests-isis-founder-attack-was-sarcasm-n628956 Seems to me, at a certain point when you're running for President when you figure out that none of the news stations, newspapers or american citizens can understand your version of "sarcasm" you probably should stop speaking sarcastically.
  18. And now today he says, Seems like he was given a couple opportunities to clarify his comments, heck the broadcaster gave him a very generous way to back out of the statement and he doubled down. He's a fool. Transcript below: HH: I’ve got two more questions. Last night, you said the President was the founder of ISIS. I know what you meant. You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace. DT: No, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS. I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton. HH: But he’s not sympathetic to them. He hates them. He’s trying to kill them. DT: I don’t care. He was the founder. His, the way he got out of Iraq was that that was the founding of ISIS, okay? HH: Well, that, you know, I have a saying, Donald Trump, the mnemonic device I use is Every Liberal Really Seems So, So Sad. E is for Egypt, L is for Libya, S is for Syria, R is for Russia reset. They screwed everything up. You don’t get any argument from me. But by using the term founder, they’re hitting with you on this again. Mistake? DT: No, it’s no mistake. Everyone’s liking it. I think they’re liking it. I give him the most valuable player award. And I give it to him, and I give it to, I gave the co-founder to Hillary. I don’t know if you heard that. HH: I did. I did. I played it. DT: I gave her the co-founder. HH: I know what you’re arguing… DT: You’re not, and let me ask you, do you not like that? HH: I don’t. I think I would say they created, they lost the peace. They created the Libyan vacuum, they created the vacuum into which ISIS came, but they didn’t create ISIS. That’s what I would say. DT: Well, I disagree. HH: All right, that’s okay. DT: I mean, with his bad policies, that’s why ISIS came about. HH: That’s… DT: If he would have done things properly, you wouldn’t have had ISIS. HH: That’s true. DT: Therefore, he was the founder of ISIS.
  19. That's pretty much an unfiltered look at Trump's worldview right there. That is the bubble he lives in. The saddest part of his bubble is that he thinks he really is telling the truth (when he says he saw muslims in NJ celebrating 9/11, when he got a letter from the NFL, when he says Obama wasn't really born in the US and the list goes on). To me that's the most dangerous part. He's only going to get older and crazier - god forbid he's continued to be given a platform nationally to share it.
  20. I am just shocked every morning when I read the transcripts of whatever he has done the day before. How stupid are Americans? He doesn't even talk in fully formed sentences.
  21. A very good overview of the tone of Trump's campaign and the potential risks: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-violent-rhetoric-history-226873
