Region: Libertatem
Honestly, the idea of Napolitano getting tapped for one of the courts isn't too far-fetched. After all, John Bolton, a regular Fox News contributor and neoconservative lunatic, was able to make a name for himself on Fox and get made National Security Advisor.

Hi, me again. Vote for me I guess. I really don't want to date the man who wins.

You're not though. It says centrist.

He's probably using the Conservative theme, which I believe has "Inoffensive Centrist Democracy" crossed out and has "Communists" written instead.

Red lips are not so red
As the stained stones kissed by the English dead.
Kindness of wooed and wooer
Seems shame to their love pure.
O Love, your eyes lose lure
When I behold eyes blinded in my stead!
Your slender attitude
Trembles not exquisite like limbs knife-skewed,
Rolling and rolling there
Where God seems not to care;
Till the fierce love they bear
Cramps them in death's extreme decrepitude.
Your voice sings not so soft,
Though even as wind murmuring through raftered loft,
Your dear voice is not dear,
Gentle, and evening clear,
As theirs whom none now hear,
Now earth has stopped their piteous mouths that coughed.
Heart, you were never hot
Nor large, nor full like hearts made great with shot;
And though your hand be pale,
Paler are all which trail
Your cross through flame and hail:
Weep, you may weep, for you may touch them not.

Za mordy, za gwałty, cierpienia i łzy,
Za lata w niewoli spędzone,
Za fałsze, oszczerstwa i cyniczne gry,
Nadzieje bestialsko zniszczone!
Nie chcemy komuny, podnieśmy więc głos,
By protest do Kremla aż dotarł.
Weźmiemy w swe ręce nieszczęsny nasz los,
Niech zadrży czerwona hołota!
Nie chcemy komuny, nie chcemy i już,
Nie chcemy ni sierpa, ni młota!
Za Katyń, za Grodno, za Wilno, za Lwów,
Zapłaci czerwona hołota!
Od Jałty ten koszmar sowiecki już trwa
I z każdym wciąż rokiem narasta;
Nie lękaj się walki, w szeregu dziś stań,
Przed tobą czerwona hałastra!
Wbrew czasom ponurym nadzieja w nas tkwi,
Wolności uchylą się wrota,
Nadejdą dla partii ostatnie już dni,
Zamilknie czerwona hołota!
Nie chcemy komuny, nie chcemy i już,
Nie chcemy ni sierpa, ni młota!
Za Katyń, za Grodno, za Wilno, za Lwów,
Zapłaci czerwona hołota!
Choć wróg nasz podstępny i okrutny jest,
Lecz Polski i tak nie pokona!
Nikczemne ich mordy skujemy na fest,
Ucieknie ta szajka czerwona!
Kremlowskie kajdany obmierzły już nam,
Paszoł won! usłyszy despota.
Czas, Polsko, wystawić rachunek swych ran,
Niech płaci czerwona hołota!
Sowieckie sztandary zerwijmy ze ścian,
Orłowi przywróćmy koronę,
By Polak w ojczyźnie mógł rządzić już sam,
A nie tałatajstwo czerwone!
Nie chcemy komuny, nie chcemy i już,
Nie chcemy ni sierpa, ni młota!
Za Katyń, za Grodno, za Wilno za Lwów,
Zapłaci czerwona hołota!

Under Bush and Obama, the number of people on food stamps increased enormously. Now, for the first time in years, the food stamp rolls are declining. Down 2 million since Trump's inauguration. So good folks!

rise up
Actually, food stamp participation has been dropping since 2013, which means it's most probably the consequence of Obama's policies, and Trump has nothing to do with it.
People are dying without those food stamps you meanie
Then let them die
The food stamp rolls swelled by 9 million under Obama's tenure. If he wanted to cut the rolls, he should have adopted smart pro-growth policies, but he didn't. Yes of course the economic recovery began around 2013 - which, by the way, was the weakest economic recovery since World War 2 - and only really begun to pick up steam after Trump's election and the change in the tax and regulatory climate.
Miencraft, Rateria, Highway Eight
Isn't it funny how usually after most really bad recessions you see high rates of growth to make up for what's been lost? The economy grew at almost 10% in 1984 and even managed to grow at like 20% during one year in the 30s, which is amazing considering how disastrous the New Deal turned out to be.
What's more funny is that we didn't see growth anywhere near that during the Obama presidency. Huge stock market crash, collapse of the housing market, huge financial institutions going under, the near destruction of the auto industry. Obama's """recovery""" policies kick in and.... 1-2% growth. Not a single year of 4% growth or more, not even in 2010. But we did get the first credit downgrade in US history, a doubled national debt, millions of people dropping out of the labor force, the creation of millions of shiny new part-time jobs that nobody wanted, billions of dollars of "stimulus" spending wasted on bonfires like Solyndra, an abortive new healthcare regime that is now teetering on collapse and disincentivized hiring and hundreds of new regulations.
Now look, Obamanomics could have been a lot worse and done far more damage. The president's policies were overall centre-left. But let's not let anybody kid themselves into thinking he created some kind of amazing economy.
Trump has done a good job but without more substantial regulatory reforms from Congress - AND SPENDING CUTS - I doubt we're going to see a particularly spectacular economic boom.
Rateria, The Holy Brittannian Empire
alright but you have to clean out the corpses
What Balloon said. The fact is that hunger in America today is extremely rare. The problem is that poor people are overfed, not underfed. You are not entitled to another man's labor, so I say get rid of the whole thing.

Let's not forget the 10,000 point jump in the DJIA that started going crazy pretty much the day after Trump won the election.

Being vice president is comparable to "a man in a cataleptic fit; he cannot speak; he cannot move; he suffers no pain; he is perfectly conscious of all that goes on, but has no part in it." Thomas R. Marshall
So this is how it feels, huh?
Rateria
Sorry about that. I just told them on my ambassador puppet about Aradites winning.
It could be worse.
You could be Daniel Webster who turned down the VP position from both William Harrison and Zachary Taylor, because he thought it was a dead-end position.

The fact we need food stamps at all, highlights capitalism's failure.
But what if we don't actually need food stamps
We wouldn't if the conditions of poverty created by the government allow this to happen.
So how is it a failure of capitalism
Because it's just how capitalism operates. Inequal enforcement of property rights creates the conditions that allows a select few with all the power, gained legitimately or not, can use to keep people trapped in a reinforcing cycle of poverty. Just look at how capitalist control of the FED and inflation benefit the rich few at the expense of the many.
That's a problem with the government buddy. There isn't enough separation of company and government.
"Because that's just how capitalism operates" You're blowin my mind man

I love how 3rd Wave Feminists or now just Feminists in general point to us and say that we're the most anti-womenistic country in the world and how we're just a bunch of intolerant racists, but then they don't say anything or want to do anything about the middle east where women are treated like dogs and aren't allowed to walk within a certain distance of their husbands. Or that in some countries in the middle east, if you are white or christian, you'll get your head chopped off in the middle of the street.
Miencraft, Rateria, The Holy Brittannian Empire
Unfortunately corporations do not care about the conditions of its workers. The free market only necessitates either that such conditions are either
a)not known/discussed by the people by working with the main stream media
b)only seem benevolent by exporting manual labour to countries w/abysmal workers rights:Chin/Bangladesh
We see in the past during the Laissez Faire economic periods of the Victorian era/early 20th Century. The problem is and has never been government intervention, merely too much in order to win over a voting block due to cutbacks unpopularity w/people in general. In this way I suppose you can attribute the problem to democracy and demogoguery. Id be delighted to debate this with you if you wish
Source on the white thing? I don't know of any middle eastern govts that have any policy like that. I know that ISIS beheads Christians, but I haven't heard anything about killing whites based on race.

Four legs good, two legs bad--unless it has feathers of which Diogenes and Plato's beplucked man fits in there no doubt, of a carefully crafted Communist scheme to end all Chic-flay franchises. Either that or you have the Conservative Theme option checked in your settings menu. :)

Those are not Capitalists in the American sense, but almost the very straw man definition set up by Marx's dialectics where plutacratic Cronies in sadistic megalomaniacal glee from their smoky camarillos conspire to deprive workers of their dignity. This cartoonish hatred of Liberty would be almost laughable if it were not for the 100 millions murdered in the name of the various strands of Socialism since the French Revolution.
Capitalism (or Natural/Physical Economy) in the American Experiment is construed to mean free enterprise and equal protection under the law for each and every individual, partnership, family or company (not the sense as corporation (inc, llc etc)) to freely engage in any trade, craft, vocation, profession, concern or enterprise that is fitting to bring the most entrepreneurial happiness in providing a desired product or service to the satisfaction of its customers (for the good of all). Government ideally, steps in only to stop to stop corruption, fraud, and coercion. We, the US (since the beginning of the Progressive Era to the Cultural Revolution of the 60s have adopted 9 out of the 10 planks of the communist manifesto and nearly every county in the US has engineered for itself a Soviet style planning commission (allowed by judicial fiat of the 9th Circuit Court of appeals) since the late 70s.
Wow, did I get sidetracked... Keynes was a Fabian Socialist as were the Cabal who set up the Federal Reserve Bank as an extra-Constitutional private entity to which our Congress is utterly beholden. It is statist, corporatist (corporatism is a form of socialism despite neocons and anti-intellectual reactionaries within the Conservative movement thinking that since Liberals hate Corporations we must like them -- even though it was Progressivists (in both parties)) who created the mess that are US Corporations, Foundations, and Charters that plague us to this day. There is nothing about the FedRes that can honestly be said that promotes free enterprise by sound and honest means.
I would encourage everyone to read the book:
The Creature From Jekyll Island by G Edward Griffin
also
End the Fed by Ron Paul
What Has The Government Done to Our Money by Murray Rothbard
and of course

Swinging by and saying hi. How's everyone doing here?
Rateria
Oh dear god do not get me started on the idiots who just think "corporations = freedom capitalism" and side with corporations on ANY issue despite clear wrongdoings by the corporation. Seriously, there are corporations out there that pose direct threat to competition and the free market and these morons continue to ignore the dangers because 1.) Like you said, they think that they HAVE to like them. 2.) They're just idiots or 3.) They're getting paid off by those same corporations.
Doing good, how are you?

I'm bueno, just living the good life, that's all.

There is a mega storm in Waukesha right now so do it quick before a tornado swoops me up
I am absolutely pissed right now. I am f'uckin livid right now about modern music. The straw that broke the camels back was listening to a song with an instrumental of four percussion taps again and again. All rap music just sounds the same. It's the same beats and instruments, the same voice and singing style copied endlessly. And it's a musical style that drives me up the damn wall. A low snare drone broken by occasional taps. The lyrics are cloaked in an accent so thick it's reduced to primal chanting and everyone sings this way. There's no melody, no rhythm, I'd be surprised if half these songs even have a time signature. I'm just really pissed that people play it so much.
Pop music has been doing that since literally ever. There's a reason it's so big-- because it's catchy and sells easily.
Rateria
I don't get people getting pissed about simple beats. It's easy listening. Pop and most rap are the music equivalent of junk food. Sometimes it's nice to have a soundtrack you don't have to listen to 1000 times to digest all the harmonies and lyrical talent. Getting mad at it would be like getting mad at a bag of doritos because it lacks a sufficient flavor layering. It's not meant to be experienced like that.
Rateria, The Holy Brittannian Empire, Jadentopian Order
Male African-American approval of Donald Trump has doubled from 11% to 22% in the span of a week, presumably as a result of Kanye West's endorsement of the president. While this is of course welcome news, it's also quite sad and disheartening to see just how much celebrities' opinions matter to ordinary folks. Kanye West is a rapper and musician, he is not a political scientist or a philosopher or an economist. We should have strong values and strong moral compasses rooted in study of ethics and the issues, as opposed to being swayed by the latest obnoxious opinions of whatever talking head or actor has caught our attention.
Republic Of Minerva, Rateria
I don't think that'll ever happen.
As a pretty average person myself, I don't know too many people who really care all that much about politics besides like Trump or guns. It's not something that really appeals to people because, well, it's kinda boring and it's not really at that fun. Most people would rather go to a Kayne concert than stay at home and read up on ethics or political science. On top of that you're much more likely to trust someone that you look up to and enjoy than a faceless expert you've probably never heard of. I known that if a celebrity I looked up to said that they felt a certain way, I'd be more inclined to give it though than if Joe McPolitics of BigNewspaper.org told me about it.

shifted and slithered within the confines off the crammed box the immediate noticeable climate of the cold atmosphere sent frequencies of temperature information and body control from the nerve ends into the creature's brain, translating the frequencies into manageable data the brain reverted and sent back into the body,to make the appropriate changes. All the while aware of these functions as he literally felt in the form of a tingling sleeping feeling the information surging through his body. He stopped movement within the box his head above him now.

Not to bother, but I have been waiting for my citizenship application to be processed for quite some time now. I would be more than willing to resubmit one. I was just told that it would be processed after elections. I don't mean to bother anyone or seem pushy, I'm just very excited to be officially apart of this wonderful community.
Ok, I now know of two trans people in real life who used to be Libertarians, but are now communists because of transphobia in the Libertarian community. They mau very well just be over-sensitive, I don't know, but let's make sure that when we say we don't care what people do with their body, we actually mean it. You can think it's a mental disorder if you want to, but don't discriminate please. It loses us support.
