Who is going to win this election in November?

[Robert Maxwell]

In other news, seems Trump is looking to dismantle Dodd-Frank.

Hope you're all looking forward to another financial crisis. The last one was so much fun, after all.

You'll need to use smaller words.

This triggered the hell out of me, you abilist.

Hillary was the only one talking about Pepe. I've started a Nazi, racist, sexist and "don't feel safe" count myself.

...

Uh oh, a squad of stormtroopers just chased a disabled muslim past my house. Stay safe everyone.

In your head, do you think you're funny?

 

[Long Syntax]

One thing that comes from having a President Trump that you will appreciate.. one can now criticize the President without being called a racist

I haven't heard that exact line a billion times on Reddit. You're so original. Do you think this all up by yourself? Do you have any material about identifying as an Apache helicopter?

I was working on loan software when Dodd Frank went into effect. It did a real number on the smaller "mom and pop" local banks. They couldn't comply with it. They couldn't afford the lawyers to understand it, let alone fight it. The Big Guys handled it fine because they had the manpower AND because so much of it is totally undefined ("this part of the law will be determined by the chairman of whatever at a later date") and they could then influence ($$$) if they were found in compliance.

What a mess. It paid the bills, but it's a year of my life I won't get back.

But, again, it's a LEGISLATIVE issue, not an EXECUTIVE one.

I guess you forgot which candidate was beloved by Nazis?

Hint: it's not the one who lost.

You have beaten that drum more than once. Candidates obviously have no control over who endorses them. I am sure Hillary was not pleased when she was endorsed by the Communist parties of America and Cuba. I wonder how many world dictators may have also been pulling for Hillary.

Well, it doesn't work if nobody executes--i.e. enforces--it. Trump can simply not enforce it.

They absolutely do. If the people doing the endorsing are the KKK and suchlike then maybe, just maybe, the candidate ought to roll back on the rhetoric ?

If the KKK are giving it the thumbs up, then quite frankly, it's not that good a message.

His rehtoric didn't approach the type of things that the KKK endorses. That is an exaggeration that evidently most voters didn't fall for. He also denounced the KKK's endorsement.

I'm supposed to take your feelings seriously when you won't even stop triggering me? I just want to make you laugh so that you will have better feels and stop feeling so afraid.

This whole bit where people point to some extremist supporting a candidate is nonsense, it implies everyone who supports the candidate is approving of that extremist - as if voters are all endorsing eachother too. Very reductive. This is why I only bring up Robert Byrd for comedic purposes. It'd be silly to think all Hillary's voters are pro-KKK based on that connection alone.

No, it implies, or it should imply, that if his message is resonating with such extreme groups as The KKK then maybe he should be asking himself what is it that he is saying that the extremists find so appealing.

Have you been attacked by a cartoon frog yet? Stay safe. Hundreds have died this year alone.

Really fuckin' funny, huh? What a comedian.

So, was Hillary at fault that the communist parties of two different countries endorsed her? Should she have changed her message because of them?

I don't believe anyone who associates Trump with the KKK is really representing his positions honestly at all. He did say some questionable things, but nothing that approaches the rhetoric of the KKK.

Oh I'm laughing, it just isn't at your failed attempts at what we'll generously call humor.

I knew this thread would be a goldmine of doomsdaying. Carry on.

That's just the right level of calling half the country Nazis that I like to see in my political discussions.

You have done nothing but troll people since you've started participating in the thread. Infraction for trolling, comments to PM.

Well if you don't want tired replies, don't make tired drama

Is it his support for lynching and slavery?

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Mr. Trump, is that you?

Cool, that puts you in the fine company of racists, sexists, anti-Semites, and other, well, deplorables.

Wear it with pride, friend.

You'll need to use smaller words.

These kind of comments aren't as prolific as the ones that received the infraction, but they're not helping either. Let's dial back the personal comments on both sides, please.

You aren't worth the effort.
