[quote=Chico23231;1144669]I've flat out asked people how are you not voting for a 3rd party candidate? To me both options are absurd.

Hillary was an utter failure at Secretary of State. She was a nightmare. In the private world she woulda be fired for incompetence.

Trump as president....ain't happening.


If a 3rd party candidate can post a strong showing, I think the option will only grow stronger in this day and age. 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought it, but so much has changed.

Well the bright side (since Hillary is going to be the next potus) is that she will now have a staff to prevent any incompetence. We hope.

Its good news and bad. We now have options as opposed to ...well ...reagan, bush, bush, clinton, clinton, well shit every president since Polk.
The bad news is you get Trumps. It will hopefully work itself out to a nice happy place like Howard Stern.

Wouldn't that be an arguement for trump as well?

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

[quote=punch it in;1144654]Im voting for him. Only because NJ isnt a swing state. Hillary is my second choice though. Hog i have read alot of the dirt on hillary. I dont really like her. It comes down to I cannot stand Trump. Im physically repulsed by his being. He has enough of a track record and i have listened to him speak enough to know he will not "surprise " me. Not in a good way. But i agree terrible situation to be in. Ugghh.[/quote]

This!!! I agree with you 150% politicians by nature lie,they promise everything to everyone and then do what they want but that is how politics work .Hillary is better at it then Trump, Donald Trump did not know what the Nuclear Triad was and that scared me .Like you I'm not a fan of Hillary but Donald Trump can not be president he just can't so for me it's Clinton or Johnson but in no way Trump.

No because you still need a little bit of know how, and you cannot be too stubborn or pig headed to listen to others. Not to mention Trump will surround himself with other morons. You only have to look as far as his running mate....

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

It's a terrible argument to say you aren't going to vote for the obviously better candidate because they can't win.

You, the generic you, needs to vote for who you see as the best person for the job. And anyone who argues that they are voting for a corrupt(HC) or generally incompetent(DT) candidate, because its the lesser of two evils deserves where this country is headed. Unfortunately for those that are willing to say that neither corrupt nor incompetent individuals ought to be elected, the majority of sheep will continue to ignore the damage the two parties are inflicting on our country.

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

I am 100% for supporting a third party candidate when Donald Trump isn't in the conversation. I have never been this scared of someone winning since I've been alive.

If everyone who is afraid of DT or HC would just stand up and be counted then a sane 3rd party candidate would win easily. DT and HC will both do immense damage to this nation, I personally believe HC is far worse from DT and if I had to choose one it would be DT every day of the week. But this country only works if everyone votes for who the believe is the best candidate, not the one that the media favors more.

It's going to be a terrible next 4 years if either one wins.

Is it bad that I'm so desensitized to these mass shootings that I'm just like, "oh another one. RIP innocents, fuck people who want to kill other people." As shitty as it is, it doesn't change anything. No new laws are going to get passed that make it harder to get high powered weaponry, or get people to take mental health more seriously in this country. People are just going to say a prayer for the deceased and their loved ones, the left is going to blame Congress for not doing anything, and the right is going to talk about how gun restrictions aren't going to solve anything (look at every city where guns are banned! it doesn't stop murders or anything). And life will go on until the next incident, when we'll repeat the cycle.

Just two days ago i popped a petty cd into the car out of nowhere. Cheers Tom and enjoy the great gig in the sky.

IMO, and that is all it is. I say yes but I understand how people would after a while. Doesn't make anyone a bad person or anything like that I am much older than you and I know how perspective changes with age,it's just normal.As I said before it's sad that people whom seem to have it all together have to do things of this nature.Will it ever end?

So i walk out the door to go to work today and discover i have a flat tire so im gonna be late. Well that sucks but no biggie, at least its not snowing anymore so it could be worse. I already plugged the tire twice so this time i decide to throw the spare on and go to work. Im almost done putting the spare on when suddenly my dog breaks free a worn out board on the fence and decides to go exploring beyond the wide world of my backyard. I stand up to go chase him and strain my back. What feels like an hour later i finally grab him near the end of the block as he stops to take a leak. I start attempting to go to work and call my coworker to let him know and he says to just stay home and take it easy so i do. Im typing this as i lay on the floor abou to go to bed, hoping tomorrow will be easier to deal with because the impending freezing temps means we might get admin pay for the first time in two winters.

Thanks TMC. In the grand scheme of things it feels insignificant, but right now with a stiff back it's just another nagging annoyance. A few days of r/r and some stretching and I'll be fine. And the weekend starts tomorrow so it could be worse.

Mooby get better. Day before yesterday I witness semi-miracle with a loose dog...a dooberman puppy weighing about 50 lbs was running around at the local park which was fine but he then ventured on the ice of a small lake, walking towards the unfrozen middle. The owner and I...immediately put my lab on a leash...were freakin out yelling. Then I ran away with my dog towards the field which the Dobberman saw and gave chase, running back onto ground.

He must have walked 20 feet onto the lake...its like you get that sudden "impending doom" feeling, man...me and the owner freaked out yelling. side note, the owner, she is a dirty blond from California with a fat ass. I was probably paying too much attention.

Wife has back problems that would make grown men cry it's so bad .We bought a Tempurpedic bed ...HOLY SHIT!!! It's GREAT! We've had ours almost 7 years now the new ones are nicer but I swear to God it will wreck you for any other bed! They are costly but I swear they are worth it!

I'm jealous, I spent 1g on the so called "Best Mattress Ever, TM" (literally the name) by the Brooklyn Bedding Co. about 2 years ago, it's one of those hybrid hard/soft memory foam mattresses, and while it's ok, it did become uneven even though memory foam is supposed to flatten out. I believe you on the Tempurpedic, heard nothing but good things, but that's def out of my bracket lol.

I feel like this story is incomplete Chico, sounds like you had a potential bonding situation there while you both laughed about saving the dog. I get what you're saying about that impending doom though, had those same thoughts when my dog was crossing the street at full speed lol. Kept thinking with my luck he'll end up crossing at the same time as some guy comes driving down the street. Luckily nothing happened other than my dog getting to experience true freedom for a bit.

I wish there was more too it. She is a cool chick, but really never attracted to her becuase she had too metal attached to her face...2 nose rings, an eyebrow and multiple ear rings. Just recently she went with just one nose ring and that’s it...boom now she looks 10 times better. So weird how that works

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

Mooby.

Wife had three metal bars inserted in her back(1997) that stretch her torso 3 inches (Scoliosis).The first bed was a Queen bed and it was almost 3 grand then but they had some money off and the Doctor wrote a prescription that knocked off another 8 hundred,yes we were tight but it was a quality of life thing.Then we put that one in the guest room and bought a king ,I don't know about the "new" foam beds but the tempurpedic are amazing and if you do buy it get the box spring all so.All we have is the regular firm and yes I did the glass test (with water) and it works I swear.

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

It's not really a hard problem to understand Chico, you just know where the line is. I'm not attracted to multiple facial piercings either, I don't mind if you get a nose ring, or an eyebrow, or w/e just don't overdo it.

G1, that sounds like a hell of a shitshow to deal with, esp with how stingy back problems are and there never really seems to be one common cure for them. Glad the Temperpedic is working out for you, it's on my "maybe, someday" list for now lol.
