The problem with US politics is that the political jingles on eithier side are not very good. :lol:

On the US territory of Puerto Rico they are having today General elections for Governor ( islanders on the island cannot vote for US Pres). Anyway, this has to be the best jingle around. Its from the islands Popular Democratic Party whose candidate is David Bernier - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRYgyxvOgAE

Generally, this is what they are saying "Do not throw your vote away. Lets go Vote, Lets go Vote, Popular do not stay home, lets go vote". Seems Clinton needed something like. that.

I'm alright.

Would like more detailed summaries. But you do what you think is best and/or necessary to convey an accurate summary of the news. :)

Trump is not a fascist, though. If anything, Clinton is more like Hitler than Trump ever was.

GET THE FACTS

Gun Registration. Hillary wants to do away with the Second Amendment. The Nazi’s prohibited people from owning guns, especially the Jews. But the Nazis themselves? They were allowed guns. Sound familiar?

Higher Taxes. Hitler imposed huge taxes on Jewish wealth (along with a 50% surtax on most German groups). Guess what Hillary plans on doing?

Economic Policy. Nazis and Hitler loved public works programs. Like building “roads and bridges.” While bullying the private sector. Let that sink in.

Abortion. Yes, the Nazis and Hitler loved abortion. You know who else loves abortion? Hillary and leftists. You know who doesn’t even like abortion? Republicans.

So if you’re going to draw comparisons of any presidential candidate to Hitler, if you could, like, read and stuff, that would be cool.

You know what I read? Hitler breathed air. Know who else breathes air? Think about it. WAKE UP PEOPLE

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Jesus, where do you people find his bullshit drivel?

Hillary has no desire whatsoever to do away with the second amendment, but that's not the point of this post. It's a hate on for people abusing basic history and misleading the uneducated.

1. The only gun laws passed in Germany under Hitler's was the 1938 German Weapons act when Hitler liberalised the existing Weimar laws on gun ownership. Hitler made it much easier for anyone to own a gun. Yes, it was even easier still for party members, but Hitler never once passed any laws restricting gun ownership, he did the opposite. Yes, he did remove the right of Jews to own a gun, but only as part of his policies removing ALL legal rights from Jews. He did not target gun ownership rights, he just got rid of them all.

2. Yes, Hitler did impose higher taxes, and surcharges on certain groups, at first. Then he lowered him enormously across the board. But to try and equate modern governments raising the record-low us income tax rate because of the record high us debt to fucking Hitler is obscene.

3. Bullying the private sector? Hitler was a rampant capitalist, and his very first deal was with big industry. His 'public works projects' weren't public works, they were private sector covered by government laws. The businesses made a fortune. Hitler eliminated unions, the right to strike, the rights to any collective action, and handed all power to big business over the worker. A conservative paradise.

4. Fuck, I mean really? Hitler and he nazis hated and criminalised abortion as one of their first acts. In 1939 they passed further laws mandating the fucking death penalty for any doctor performing an abortion.

Please never, ever, ever post anything about history ever again.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.
