Punchable faces gotta stick together.
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.

Bolded mine. Is it normal to use "Democratic" as a demonym for the Democrat party? It feels like a typo to me, since I've always just used "Democrat" as the demonym.

Democratic is the technical adjective. Democrat is the demonym.
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.

Ohio is going D and she's leading 68 66 right now

And if Ohio goes D, Michigan is even more firmly so. The state of Michigan doesn't go Red unless Ohio's redder than a cherry.

CBC shows that New Jersey is Republican, while it doesn't show it if you hover over the state it shows the republicans in the lead.

A freshly grabbed cherry at that.
