Depressing but true.

Trump has not only identified the minority who is the source of all evil, he also offers permanent solutions. He is probably going to become the presidential candidate for the Republicans, because his xenophobia is music to the ears of any openly racist Tea Partier. And it's not as if the Republicans are going to be bothered by ethical concerns, because power is always better than human decency.

I love eating pie too. For me, there is a progression of my likelihood to eat or throw a pie. For example: I'm very likely to throw a blueberry, lemon meringue or pumpkin pie. I am very unlikely to throw a key lime, cherry or sweet potato pie.

Why would you throw a pumpkin pie? They are delicious.

Oh, God. He is racism in human form. It's amazing how he has the support of 24% of Republican voters. Just because he has more money than Bitely and knows how to turn heads with his politically unacceptable rants does not mean he would make a good president.

I'd actually like to see a Putin-Trump talk if he's elected. Be worth his entire fortune.

The good stuff about him is totally overshadowed by the bad stuff. I agree with him on same-sex marriage and abortion but gun control and illegal immigrants.... He would single-handedly destroy America with that.... He thinks that it's "crazy people" who kill people, not the guns, even they would have a much, much harder time without a gun. Can you say logic? Guns for all!

Meh. I'm not a fan. If it's ice-cold and served with whipped cream it's tolerable.

I've been looking forwards to watching the Bathurst 1000 this year (think the Daytona 500 for NASCAR) and I can't watch it because you can't watch it in NZ or Australia without paying money and all other streams are on dodgy websites with fucking malware and shit.

Fuck this is frustrating.

Yes. He bought his way with his WA proposal and region using campaign and recruitment TGs and now he bought ad space. Apparently even offered to buy NSG.

Gun control won't fix these crazies. China has stabbing and slashing sprees. Trump won't fix the mental health system, either. In other words, the cure for the spree shooting issues would have been no 2nd amendment in the first place.
