I'll make sure to jam the synthetic stuff in, I'll tell her you requested it specifically.

Gotta know your audience. In Gallup polling, 56% of Americans favor a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, and another 21% don't favor it, but wouldn't be upset if such an amendment passed. So basically, only 23% of Americans would actually be upset if a flag burning amendment passed. And most of that 23% would never vote for Trump anyhow.
I personally fall in the camp of not wanting to see an amendment passed, but not being upset if such an amendment did pass.
Trump (Idiot in Chief) speaks without an internal filter, so when he tweeted about a former Miss Universe winner at 3AM, he wasn't sitting down before-hand to review micro-data, he was just showing who he really is.
If Trump were actually smart enough to consider polling data, he wouldn't say 75% of what comes out of his mouth.
The flag burning issue has been a regular go-to for conservative politicians for 20 years now. It's an easy rhetorical win for conservatives. I can't believe anybody is making a big deal out of this.
Nate, to be fair I haven't seen one single thing Trump has uttered that you think is a big deal.
I mean you pretty much have a rationale for everything he's said since he entered the race.
President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Does thinking Trump is an all around great guy make you a bad person?

Yes, and you don't tell us men with full heads of hair how to think, baldy!

I think Obama is one of the greatest Presidents of all time. I'll fight you on it.

Are you referring to his desire to jail flag burners? Trump has a big problem with the 1st Amendment/free speech, most Dictators do.
Yeah.
Has anyone told him he's president now?
You can stop tweeting now Donald...
No, let Trump keep tweeting. That way those who voted for him will eventually figure out that they just elected an a**hole president of the United States.

His supporters never will, because they're just as misguided, ignorant, and simple as he is.

Re: Political Roundtable Part XI
Stein's Wisconsin estimate for a recount was 900k initially. She was just informed Wisconsin requires 3.9 million paid in full within 45 minutes or there will be no recount.
What a sham. She also only raised 6.4 million, so looks like Michigan and Pennsylvania would require 8 / 12 respectively if going off of population?
Looks like Stein may have just gotten 6.4 million for free.

Re: Political Roundtable Part XI
And Stein refuses to pay Wisconsin instead begins lawsuit. Nothing will come of the lawsuit prior to Dec 13th. There is no Wisconsin *hand* recount, which is what she is demanding to identify "fraud".
Just motions to file, obtaining counsel etc will be hard enough. Scheduling a hearing? One week. Arguments? Another 2 weeks, discovery etc. This takes her well beyond the 13th which is the final day it can be completed. Even an appeal to the Supreme Court must allow the state a few weeks to prepare.
If she fights, I suspect this is struck down rather quickly. She has no vested interest, and now only enough money (when considering incoming substantial legal fees) to fight Wisconsin.
(She raised 6.4 costs now, with level 4.5 in Wisconsin assuming 1 million in legal costs to expedite the fight to state Supreme Court).

Wow, imprisonment and punishment for burning a "symbol". Not too far off from cutting off heads for speaking ill of Mohammad. I'm sure nate thinks it's no big deal.

"I could walk down the middle of 5th Ave and shoot someone in the face and I wouldn't lose any supporters."
To this day, that is still the most poignant utterance to escape his bong hole.
