He's at least smart enough to know that if his incredibly swollen head explodes, the order of the Vice-Presidential day is going to be "first do no harm."

I grew up in a town that the British marched on because they believed (correctly) that the colonials were storing weapons there, which started the whole damn war in the first place. So I get the fighting the whole tyrannical government thing. But these days, the people who talk about arming themselves against an oppressive government seem, at most, a half step away from the tweaker ex-boyfriend of a family member who used to mutter darkly about subliminal government mind control and pronounce wild-eyed warnings about the unchecked powers of FEMA to place Americans in concentration camps. Anyhoo, here is some bongo funk for your Daily Dose! United 8 with Getting Uptown (To Get Down):

Wow. And to think, I wasn't even trying. And all those mean posts about Paigow.

The fact that you can reduce two very accomplished people to their gender and race so easily and imply that people make their decisions based on this bullshit is absolutely fucking pathetic. And it makes me respect you less.
You.Are.Funny! The Hillary camp does this every day. Fuck, they specifically fundraise on this. We're now "Ready" for a woman. I guess the Dems weren't ready in 2008, when she was the presumptive nominee, far more qualified than Obama, and then got tossed out on her ear. But hey, forget that, NOW we are ready. Seriously. And NOW experience counts.

Oh, and you can Google and screenshot in about 10 seconds about 1000 posts of "So excited to finally vote for a woman", "So excited to have a black man in the white house", etc. BTW, nothing particularly wrong with either of those sentiments, but for you to both deny its existence and then to scold me for stating the obvious is beyond silly.

No complaints here.

In the mirror bizarro world the conservative Ty (who posted a different reason to impeach w every day for 8 years) would be posted about how valid this claim is. Sad.

Pence is a crazy motherfucker. Read about it. He would end birth control, the first amendment, medical care and replace it with prayer.

The Donald picked him as a survival move. With a crazy mofo as veep no one is going to cap his ass.

Not a total lunatic? Then I guess John Wayne Gacey was OK because he played a clown at kids' parties. http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Joh...f0_4766195.jpg

Welcome to America in the 21st Century. A place where we have two very different Constitutions with the same words.

On a day when Trump was trying to build hate cred with his VP pick, I think we should all remember what America is really all about.

Agreed.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Not enough time lately in the conservative fever swamps, I guess.

Um, why? I'm related to plenty of gun nuts, and that fact that Obama has never sent the black helicopters to take their weapons doesn't seem to slow the new conspiracy theories.

What is a registered parliamentarian, and who does the registering?
