    The same argument applies far more to Lockheed with their joint smoking fighter.

    That is equivalent to demanding us show you Vatican approved articles explaining why there is no God.

    I'll bet if you really think about it, you'll figure out why those things are not really equivalent.

    Three neighboring precincts in Wisconsin showing more Trump votes than total votes cast. Three. Neighboring.

    Remember when the Republican official during the Scott Walker recall election took home a laptop that had the only voting records on it? Wisconsin election fraud under Republicans makes Chicago look like the birthplace of democracy by comparison. You get these little semi-rural counties that have been run like little fiefdoms for generations and they'll do most anything to hang on to power.

    This thing is gonna drag on, and there's no telling what could happen.

  6. Dave, we are in a post-sarcasm era. We have crossed the Poe's Law threshold. In 2016 America, everything is a "whoosh" and nothing is a "whoosh". This is uncharted territory.

  7. This is about devolving govt power and denying it the ability to mandate curriculum in the first place

    No, it most certainly is not. Ms Devos is a big supporter of Common Core, so I don't see you can claim she wants to "devolve gov't power over schools".

    She wants the same government power, but with the ability to control what is considered "science". This is a woman with no credentials in education or any academic background in education. Her father was a co-founder of the Family Research Council which the SPLC lists as a hate group. Her brother is the founder of the Blackwater mercenary private army and her wealth comes in large part from a pyramid scheme (Amway).

  8. Madison and Milwaukee Wisconsin are run by Progressive Democrats.

    The entire state is being audited. Not just the Democratic places.

  9. You realize that fake news exists, and it's coming from the media that claims it's a paragon of virtue and objectivity?

    Trump really did say that climate change was a hoax though. It's not fake when it's in his own words coming from his own twitter account.

    Or are you saying his twitter account was hacked by Russia for just those few tweets and then he got his account back?

  10. Ben Franklin said it best,

    "Those who would give up that essential Sweet Sweet Poontang, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Poontang nor Safety."

    And let me tell you, Franklin was a man who knew good poontang.

  11. Idol? You mean like a puppet?

    No puppet. You're the puppet.

  12. No. That's a lie. He never said that.

    This is really instructive. Trump supporters are now denying that their Dear Leader has ever said something, even though the tweets of him saying it still exist.

    At least some have the self-respect to say, "Oh, he was only kidding". But now we have several who are denying that these statements ever existed at all.

    Trump is less a president-elect than the idol of a cargo cult.

    You have Scottish for Thanksgiving? Most people just have a Turkey.

    Well, they won't let us have Indians any more. The SJWs ruined that for everyone.

  14. Remember that whole "fake news" thing? Yep, I bet you do. Your comment is coming based on that fake news.

    Mashiki, you realize that the tweets from Trump's account that call it a hoax still exist, right? The internet is forever.

  15. And Trump's new Education Secretary was a huge booster of the testing aspects of Common Core, which are its absolutely worst aspect.

    No, this is bad. General Flynn is a nutjob who thinks there's a Muslim under every bed. Attorney General Sessions is a Jim Crow-era stereotype who called his black law clerk "boy" and now this Education Secretary who hates education and got her wealth from the Amway pyramid scheme. It's pretty obvious that Mike Pence is getting his way in all these choices, because there's no way Donald Trump even knew who any of these people were before the announcements were made.

    And finally, it turns out that Trump has already been skipping the national security briefings. The last time an incoming president did that, we got 9/11.

  16. Creation theory in schools.

    God

    Damn

    You're too late. Today he announced an evangelical woman who hates public schools as the Secretary of Education.

    This is like in Civilization IV where the game tells you, "Your Golden Age has now ended".

    It is after all NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration), not the NCRSSA (Nation Climate Research and Sometimes Space Administration).

    And the National Science Foundation's name doesn't have the word "Math" in it, so they shouldn't be allowed to do Math.

  22. Re:Your evidence is 2008 and 2012 on Clinton Urged To Challenge Election Results Due To Possible Hacking [Update] (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    In neither 2008 nor 2012 did any Republicans/conservatives riot, burn flags, use entertainment outlets like TV and movies and music and plays to assert that Obama was a monster who would throw millions into internment camps, enslave people, destroy the planet, etc.

    You have a very poor memory. Of course conservatives went batshit insane for all eight years of the Obama presidency. It drove them crazy that there wasn't a single scandal or evidence of corruption they could pin on him. They said he wasn't "their president". They said he wasn't born in the United States and therefore wasn't eligible. They disrupted townhalls and meetings all across the country. They took over federal facilities with armed militias. They shot up a Sikh temple thinking they were muslims. I'm talking about they went crap-your-pants crazy.

    Oh, it does not matter if Hillary won the popular vote..

    It does mean one thing though: Donald Trump can never, ever claim that he has a "mandate" to enact his policies. There is no mandate when the other candidate got 2 million more votes than you.

  23. That's exactly right. Pick up a Classic Player and bring it to a guitar tech or luthier to dress the frets and set it up for you and you'll really have something. Plus, you'll have enough left over to buy a half-pound of weed and a couple of cases of Jack Daniels.

  24. Hell, it works for Fender, they have USA vs Mexican Strats

    It works and it doesn't. People have figured out that some of the pan-Asian guitars are way better than what's coming out of the US factories at a fraction of the price. There's only so much cachet you get from something coming out of a US plant unless the quality is commensurate with the price.
