When it comes to Bush Jr, he says much more than I ever could.

My favorite is...

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

I have this on a tee shirt...



But this one is my favorite.



The Bush administration was a disaster. But it's not like things are getting better.

Congress supposedly cant agree on what to get for lunch, but in a rare form of bipartisanship just hammered through a 1.8 trillion spending bill, and not a peep. No one has noticed, we are all too worried about what some asshat with silly hair is doing.

The US has basically turned into a crony capitalist oligarchy; owned and operated by tech companies, the military, and other corporate interests.

Hell, watching the "facebook" sponsored events that resembled fear factor more than a presidential nomination debate should be slightly irritating no? Nominees were thanking facebook before introducing themselves, and then proceed to tell you how they are going to bleed for the little guy? Take money away from big bad corporate cuz the wittle guy needs a living? Derp ok.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Trump will never be a nominee, he's not bought and paid for. Cant have that.

Watching the debates we have nominees flat out saying we are gonna crowd Putin with missiles, create no fly zones over sovereign nations and if they look at us funny we'll punch em in the dick. Some nominees are calling it WW3. I'm honestly worried about the direction the US is taking and what it could mean socially in a country that is already experiencing unrest.

Only the GOP nominees are saying that kind of garbage, which is why the GOP needs to stay far away from the White House, and why we need to do whatever we can to break their stranglehold in the House and Senate. The GOP whines and complains that we don't have money to cover Medicare/SNAP/Social Security--but we've sure got plenty of money to cover another directionless war in the Middle East with no exit strategy.

On the Democratic side you have Bernie Sanders wondering how Qatar can manage to fund a World Cup bid, but they can't manage to put in any help to stop ISIS. Bernie Sanders wants to stop ISIS as well--but he wants to see those nations around Syria/Iraq to help out, to stop leaving it solely in the hands of the US to fix it. Democrats don't want WW3.

The GOP field is utterly terrifying. They're not just typical politician corrupt, they're completely insane. It'd be laughable if there wasn't a decent chance of one of them ending up the leader of the free world next November.

Schlonged...I mean even 13 year old boys think this guy is immature

Standing before a crowd of 7,500, Trump recounted how Clinton was seconds late to the Democratic debate stage on Saturday night following a commercial break. Trump asked the crowd four times where Clinton had gone.

"I know where she went -- it's disgusting, I don't want to talk about it," Trump said, screwing up his face, as the crowd laughed and cheered. "No, it's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting."

Later in the night, Trump told the crowd that he could not picture Clinton as president because she never wins at anything. He then brought up the 2008 Democratic primary, which Clinton lost to Barack Obama.

"She was favored to win, and she got schlonged," Trump said, turning a vulgar noun for a large penis into a verb.

But isn't that what his supporters love? The whole back on the playground, don't give a #### attitude?

Terrifying. Completely Insane. Corrupt.

Funny, when I hear these words I think of Hitlery. Remember she supports a no fly zone in Syria. An airspace that Iraq and Syria have given Russia the right to fly in. Do you think Putin has any respect for Hitlery? I don't know about you but I find a leader with Nuclear Powers like Russia that don't respect out leader very terrifying.

I'm pretty sure you should just vote Terry Crews in as president then.

You are impossible to take seriously.

Which, amusingly, makes you the picture postcard Republican supporter.

I'm not really a Clinton supporter, but honestly it is people like you that lower the overall political debate and make those of us with IQs in triple digits weep for the future.

[Looch City]

"Hitlery" haha

The guy sounds like a textbook Fox News junky.

I just don't get why you'd register such a partisan hack nickname on a hockey forum

I bet Nobama is your prototypical rep voter, all full of Jesus and patriotism. Which is funny in a lot of ways.

Republicans want to "help" people in the middle east by bombing the #### out of perceived enemies (conveniently forgetting the fact that each time they do it, another unsavory group will fill the power vacuum). Having a massive military doesn't equal patriotism.

However, when it comes to practical things that Jesus would certainly advocate for, that's when they stop being Christian and patriotic. I would consider it much more patriotic and Christian-like if Republicans advocated things like reducing the military budget every single year until poverty is eradicated from the USA, and every citizen who wants to be educated, can be educated at a reasonable cost. If they shifted their focus from keeping the world "safe" and all that nonsense about leading the free world to making American cities and streets safer, that would indeed show their Christian compassion to fellow Americans and their patriotism.

They certainly have a strange brand of patriotism. Most people from the outside can see easily enough though that Republican politicians are bought and paid for by corporations who want their own interests looked after, and mask it as patriotism. The mob laps it up.

Sad really. And this campaign is proving that it can be scary too.

Would you prefer the candidate that the Nuclear power really badly wants, like Trump? Ask yourself, does Putin want Trump because he genuinely less the guy, or because he can foresee a ####show with Trump in power? You honestly think he'll respect Trump???

The people that support Trump, on a grass roots level, are probably those who wish they could spout all the idiotic and insane things in their heads as well.

Of course Trump is bought and paid for, he's one of the ogliarchs for gods sake!!

He's a lifelong New York democrat and friend of the clintons who started his political career attacking the guy that defeated his friends wife's bid for president.

The Clintons are no great friends of Obama after all, he has no chance of being president and, by all accounts, has spent no money setting up a ground level organization that you need to win anything, he's also carefully skirted attacking the other unelectable right winger who might win the nomination, Cruz, while going for the jugular with the various candidates that would be threat to Clinton, Bush in particular.

Once you accept that he's not actually trying to become the president then it's almost impossible to see him as anything other than a spoiler screwing with the GOP in order to hand Hillary the presidency.

Not sure which thread to put this in, but I guess it boils down to politics.

Personal attacks, name attacks, Duffman with the usual drive by trolling... I guess this is how this forum works.

Back on topic, yes I would like a nuclear superpower's leader getting along with the leader in the United States. At all costs. Putin's endorsement of Trump is much better than him saying the exact opposite, at least in my opinion.

You think the people of the US should heed the endorsement of a leader of a nation hostile known to be duplicitous?


You trust very strange people
