Not sure how equipped we are to complain about political correctness, we didn't live back when 'if you want a nigger for a neighbour, vote liberal or labour' was an acceptable political slogan. While I'm really tired of internet victims looking to be offended at every corner, often on behalf of a minority they are not a part of, I just don't think political correctness has created more unhappiness than what we had before.

I know this gets repeated a lot but it's a pretty valid concern if you consider openness and transparency to be a good thing.


Yes, I agree but we're acting as if this type of behavior is being uncovered against Trump's will. It's part of his entire shtick.

2) I would much rather Trump pick Supreme Court justices than Hillary.


Funny enough, that's the only thing that i'd grant to Hillary. The US doesn't need another Scalia.


yeah, i was curious about daunt's opinions on it, since he seems intelligent.

and I am sure he is intelligent but he only convinced me more that hillary is the better choice

Honestly with multiple judges being replaced on the Supreme Court, you'd think the proper thing to do as president would be to propose one from your party, one from opposing party, one from your party, one from opposing party etc

alternating turns between the two parties

That would require too much common sense out of politics I guess.

edit: I guess even that solution is problematic though because it would probably just lead to presidents wanting to nominate radical judges from their party and moderate judges from the opposing party

The party in power always thinks it'll be in power forever. That's politics.

You are aware that Republican leadership said they would never accept any candidate put forth by Obama before Scalia's body was even cold right?
They didn't look at the proposed candidate and say he wasn't conservative enough because were wasn't any candidate yet.

It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Bernie made it pretty clear that separation of powers isn't taken seriously as a concept these days. The fact that he outright stated it and people cheered hurt my soul.

I'm aware. I think it's stupid

They are literally pushing the system to the point of breaking in the name of party politics

Day 3, let's see if they shift from social issues and sympathy Olympics to some other topics, really it could be anything else and I wouldn't mind.

Turning back to the earlier question of whether I support Trump because I'm an anarchist, the answer is no, but I think it needs a little more qualification. The biggest difference between my political views now and those that I historically have had is that I have developed a major anti-establishment streak. This isn't so much the product of a singular thing or event, but it is the result of the confluence of many things that I have observed over the years. It started as an ever-growing sense that there's something wrong, though I couldn't really put my finger on it. Perhaps Trump came along as the right messenger at the right time to reach someone like me, but what he has said and campaigned on has encouraged me to look at the world with a different, and more critical, perspective. And there are some things that I am finding wanting.

One genuine question on immigration. Since when exactly does the meaningful distinction between illegal and legal immigration exist (for a good part of American history you could probably hop on a boat and if you made it you made it, right?), and how does that fit into the narrative of people claiming their heritage consists of people "who made it legally" compared to people who "cheated the system". That's probably a fairly modern concept, am I wrong?
