Walter_Sobchak Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Depends. The American Civil War had a remarkably low percentage of civilian casualties. If there had been more civilian casualties we would have to rename it the Uncivil War. Mohamed A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostCosmonaut Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Gary Johnson won the Libertarian Party nomination; http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/29/politics/libertarian-party-nominee-vote/ This is probably a good thing for them, since apparently some of the other candidates were pretty fringe-libertarian (also Johnson at least has experience in government). Still doubt they'll get more than 3-4% of the vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priory_of_Sion Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 McAfee then called the LP party a shame since it was just a bunch of white dudes. Meanwhile the other candidates were discussing wether the US should have fought in WW2 and if 5 yr olds should be able to buy heroin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Knowing Libertarians the way I do, no doubt 40 percent of them stalked out of the Convention in a huff and are threatening to vote Fourth Party... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 It looks like William Weld, the former Massachusetts Governor and Guy-Who-Became-Libertarian-Two-Weeks-Ago got their Veep nomination. That'll piss off half em. Also, there are a higher number of Furries and Starfleet officers and Stormtroopers than one normally sees at a political convention. https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/05/libertarians-catgirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 None of this shit is new: He [Joseph McCarthy] had a diabolical fascination and an almost hypnotic power over news-hungry reporters. They were somehow reluctantly grateful to him for turning out their product. They stood astonished that he could make so much news from such meager raw material. Many hated him; all helped him. They were victims of what one of them called their "indiscriminate objectivity." In other words, McCarthy and the newsmen both thrived on the same synthetic commodity. Senator McCarthy's political fortunes were promoted almost as much by newsmen who considered themselves his enemies as by those few who were his friends. Without the active help of all of them he could never have created the pseudo-events which brought him notoriety and power. -The Image: a Guide to Pseudo-Events in American, Daniel J.

Priory_of_Sion Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 An NRO writer by the name of David French might be the #NeverTrump candidate that the neocons wanted. I met him at a free speech seminar at my college a couple months ago. He seemed to be pretty consistent on 1st amendment rights, but is a complete dork (and war mongering social conservative) and nothing at all about him said "president." At the very least it's an excuse for the dozen or so people who hate Trump but just can't vote for Clinton or Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Yeah, I'm sure French's campaign will set the world afire. Assuming the "world" consists of the rich, white suburbs of Washington D.C. in Northern Virginia and Maryland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I guess a few protesters got tackled by the Secret Service for trying to rush the stage at a Bernie Sanders rally. It didn't look like Sanders was wanting the "protection". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
