Maybe we should just elect Trump president

i LOVE how (slightly) expanded background checks = coming for their guns.

I'm coming from my guns.
Well, gun, anyway.
Eww what a mess!

he's never getting the nomination…but glad he's talking about it on the national level

That's a pretty weird conflation though. As in, what do narcotics laws have to do with banking regulations? The marijuana scenario describes someone who is breaking a law and is arrested when he is witnessed breaking that law. I don't agree with that law, but it is still a law in most places.

There's much more ambiguity with the Wall Street example. In many cases, it wasn't unlawfulness but greed and cold heartedness. Many of these banks shittily took advantage of the regulatory system and screwed a lot of people over, but it wasn't illegal.

i don't think he's conflating them, sounds more like he's comparing them.  as in, we arrest kids for this minor offence while bankers get away with a much more harmful offense. 

I've never been 100% certain what 'conflate' means but I'm always impressed when people use it because then I think they're smart.

For example, I could say "I find it strange that the kid who smokes marijuana gets arrested but Sweetcell can be a big dumb jerk and get off scot free."

Conflate means to combine two things into one, and it often has the connotation of making a false equivalency or overly simplifying things by lumping two different things together.

Duck dynasty, just endorsed cruz. It's over Donald, it's over.

I bet all the GOP nom's were hoping for that endorsment

I am curious, as to who Bowie would give his endorsement to? I think we should have a debate stage with 10 different psychics, each one channeling dead David Bowie, and seeing who comes out on top! $5,000 a ticket, dude.

I mean, it's like a great Simpsons bit brought to real life.

is that real?  there something that looks GCI/green-screen about it… like those girls were superimposed on a scene of a trump gathering.

You know, I can watch videos of people getting killed, videos of people having the most disgusting  hardcore sex you've ever seen, but for some reason, I just couldn't watch that video. That was the creepiest most disturbing thing I have ever witnessed in my life.

Damn… The crowd only starts cheering once they sing "or get crushed every time".  Also that crowd is even less diverse than the Oscar nominations…
