Random Politics & Religion #18

Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.

Can this be more enforced this time instead of going to mods crying like it's been happening the past few times.

Hell, going to other threads to complain about this thread/section means that these discussions are too advanced for you and you should probably take your crayons and go play in the corner.

/hands some people some crayons.

Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.

There is a difference between taking offense because "Person A said my argument was wrong." and "Person A said I'm a <insert random insult> for believing that." Keep that in mind.

Not trying to sound mean or anything, but if it affects you this much, maybe it's time to move on from this thread section.

So the great big alleged Russia/Trump intelligence report is the only thing in the news today, apart from Obama’s farewell address last night (perfect timing!), four cabinet confirmation hearings, and a Trump press conference that — against all odds — he’s actually having! Yes, yes, everyone wants to talk about the PEE HOOKERS. The PEE HOOKERS are not the issue here, Dude. We’re talking about alleged collusion between a presidential campaign and a foreign intelligence service. Also, Dude, PEE HOOKERS is not the preferred nomenclature. “Ladies of negotiable micturition,” please.

Now, let’s look at the stuff that might actually matter for, like, national security, and leave the PEE HOOKERS alone for a while. Can you believe it? Pee hookers? The things we should be paying attention to are the allegations that Donald Trump and his campaign staff colluded with Russian intelligence agents on a campaign of leaks and derogatory information against Hillary Clinton. How credible are the allegations? No telling — but it was concerning enough that U.S. intelligence agencies briefed President Obama and President-elect Trump about the dossier’s existence. So let’s dive right in. To the allegations, not the pee. Ew. If you want to follow along in the documents published by Buzzfeed, here they are.....

New thread, same butthurt

I watched about 10 seconds before my eyes glazed over and had to find a Simpsons clip to relieve myself

Just terrible I dare you to watch this:

Also of note 90% of SNL from now till 2020 will be the terrible Alec Baldwin impression that was stale the first time I saw it.

It will usually be breaking news for WP, CNN, and Buzzfeed, since all 3 like to report facts I don't like all the time.

And then some people like to run with such facts I don't like and pretend it's real.

Also, Putin says hi.

President-elect Donald Trump is setting the stage for a potential clash with his fellow Republicans when it comes to the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act....

Trump's plan will provide "insurance for everybody, ... he's going to push for the government to have the ability to negotiate prescription drug prices for Medicare and Medicaid. However, neither of those ideas have been mentioned as possibilities in a Republican replacement plan — and they are both proposals usually opposed by Republicans....

"We're going to have insurance for everybody," Trump told the Post. "There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can't pay for it, you don't get it. That's not going to happen with us." ...

And if you can't trust Putin, who CAN you trust?

3 MORE DAYS!

Bring on the Trumpenreich!

Well, it'll be nice to just have it done and over with. I don't know how many freak outs it takes until reality finally sets in.

Election day? Freak out.
Electoral college votes? Freak out.
Inauguration? Freak out.
Old-school R&B on the radio?
