How about we stick him next to Palin. Heâll be able to see his pal Putin from his backyard!

According to the emails my grandmother forwards me, Hillary tried to eat a baby on live tv, but W. and Jesus traveled through time to stop her.

Thatâs such a great scene .
Iâm glad that the producers of Star Trek would never insult their fans by remaking Wrath of Khan and revisiting that scene without any of the emotional build up that made it such a great scene.

Unfortunately, 1 in 10 can do plenty of damage. Especially in the NRAâs America.
The aftermath of a Trump loss is likely to be violent. And Trump is going to be loudly cheering them on while it happens.

Except that the Trumpeters wonât be attacking the US military. Theyâll be attacking the local mosque.
And Trump is heavily supported by voters in both the police and the military.

Oh, I agree; I wasnât completely dismissing the possibility of violence out of hand.
Merely stating that most people are all talk and no action.
Itâs the exceptions, not the rule, that are so worrisome.

A (rumored) gay black woman headlining the Republican ticket? THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. Not exactly what GOP primary voters go for tho.

But isnât Rice the very model of a neoconservative? Hasnât the American electorate absorbed the lesson that the neo comes from the Greek word for EVIL?

Bit of a war criminal, sadly.
Plus I donât care for any GOPper to be President because theyâd empower the lunatic fringe no matter how reasonable they seemed personally.

Yes, yes, this is all true. But regardless of foreign policy, her nomination would still herald a socially liberal age unimaginable a generation ago.
(And arguably Dem leadership since the Bush years has only represented a âsmarter, more strategicâ neoconservatism rather than any major change in philosophy. Clinton being a kind of culmination of that.)

If by âbetterâ you mean more intelligent, then yes. Last I heard she was still at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and a fellow at the Hoover Institution.

This election is so odd - Hillary should be a very beatable candidate (bad approval ratings, third democratic term), but Trump seems to do his darndest to get her into office. Fine by me, but weird.

But Harper only got 32% in the 2015 election, and he never got to niemelennarâs 20-25 + 5-10 + 10 = 40%. His best was 38% in 2011.
In any case, conservative, even Canadaâs capital-C Conservative, isnât the same as authoritarianism. Harper was never an authoritarian. Or maybe he tried to be, but he wasnât charismatic enough to pull it off. He didnât try to base his leadership on his being the only person who could save Canada from some ill-defined existential faceless threat (unless that threat was âThe Liberalsâ or âJustin Trudeauâs Hairâ). He didnât arbitrarily restrict civil liberties of people who spoke out against him. He concentrated as much power as he could in the PMO tried to shut down any meaningful interactions with the press, and was generally a secretive, controlling asshat who took his ball and went home (i.e. prorogues Parliament) whenever things got too hard for him, but he didnât actively try to dismantle Canadaâs parliamentary system or implement crippling social restrictions.
When genuine wannabe authoritarians raise their heads in Canada, they get laughed out of the room.
