There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Well, Obama did look really tired. I still can't believe they made him do that crap on his anniversary. Still, you'd think the fact that everything Romney said was a lie would turn people off, but apparently since Obama didn't call him out on it (again, because he was tired of doing that exact thing), that makes it true.
Anyway, when are the debates tonight?
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.Liberal: n. someone whose first question when stuff goes wrong is "where did I go wrong".
Conservative: n. someone whose first question when stuff goes wrong is "where did you go wrong",
As humorous as this may or may not be, it doesn't hold up as well as the other set when put under any sort of scrutiny... After all, I don't remember any liberals asking people how they* screwed up when the economy collapsed in 2008...
Republicans abandon lawmaker over rape comment.
Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and other Republican leaders abandoned support for state Rep. Roger Rivard on Thursday after he spoke publically about advice his father gave him that “some girls rape easy.”
...Todd Akin ain't got jack on this man.

Everything is Possible. But some things are more Probable than others. JEBAGEDDON 2016Perhaps more importantly, it's another good example of Fox's hypocrisy - Romney called Obama a liar right in the middle of the debate, after all.
Furthermore, I think Guantanamo must be destroyed.

Suing to stop counting votes, though, is pure unadulterated bullshit, and always will be. No matter who's doing it.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
