    Sanders had a lot of support, not enough to win the presidency, but look at the post covid situation. People are still not going back to work. Biden is basically being puppeted by them. Their ideas are floating around every college campus in the country and the kind SS are being indoctrinated by their professors with those ideas. The Democrats are going further and further to the left and this is just the beginning, wait until Biden drops dead or steps down, it’s going to get worse.

    LOL I just spent a while re-reading Castle's predictions on TK about the election and yours are just as hopelessly fucking delusional.

    Funny, every business that offered better wages suddenly saw the "laziness" vanish.
    But Fox ain't gonna tell you that.

    OMG. You have gone off the deep end.

    Okay, everyone. Time to go home. Nothing to see here. This isn't a tourist trap. Go home.

    I am a college professor, admittedly not in the US but then your work/life balance is even more fucked up than ours. I barely have time to plan my own lecture content, let alone think of devious ways I can indoctrinate students into communism.

    Ron Paul is the only Republican I’ve voted for President in the past twenty years, my friends think I’m too libertarian, fuck off and try again. If I were a Republican, I’d most definitely be a Ron Paul Republican, douche.

    That figures. Paul thinks because he's an optometrist, he knows more about infectious diseases that a doctor who has spent more than 25/30 years researching infectious diseases.

    Not nearly enough and would have lost to Trump. Tells you all you need to know

    Why do you think that is?

    When you make claims but have to use "basically" it's not much of a claim. What proof do you have that Biden is being puppeted by the squad

    Isn't that what college is all about? University kids are stupid, and rarely grow up the same as they were in university once this little thing called reality hits them in the face after they graduate

    It's amazing to me that you're more concerned about the Dems going further to the left over the Republicans literally descending into utter madness

    Of course both aren't that great, far-anything is bad, but the ones that are going to hurt you the most at this point are the Republicans

    Good, you're for the guy who has a shitload of support from white supremacists, including those who say he funded/knew of Operation Red Dog.

    Operation Red Dog, for those not in the know, was a plot by KKK members to overthrow the government of Dominica and set up a white supremacist paradise with hookers and blackjack.

    Your argument is poorly thought out because it assumes that the document can never be amended. Which, by the way, the document has express procedures for and has been done many times.

    The Constitution was in the way of protecting individual rights for the vast majority of Americans up until around 100-150 years ago. Guess what we did? We changed it so that it was no longer in the way.

    I mean, cut any of these "Libertarian" candidates deep enough and they all seem to bleed racism.

    And it ain't like the GOP is hurting on that score.

    I guess the Libertarians want weed legalized?

    No, some just appreciate the difference between "I am here to serve" and "Damn, bitch! You just got SERVED!"

    I asked my cousin about this years ago. She said corporate and school internet security really just checks for porn or gambling. Message boards mean nothing to them.

    Not only that, the original Constitution was so problematic that it took another two and a half years to ratify the first ten amendments.

    I mean heck... the 27th amendment was introduced in 1789 and wasn't ratified until 1992.

    So I have no idea what that Trump cum-guzzler is talking about.

    It's easy to criticize from the side of the aisle that just has to scream OMG THE GAYZ/BLACKS/COMMIES!!! and they have the base rolling over like dogs for a biscuit.

    I have to make PowerPoints.

    Years ago I was dating a cops daughter and using a school computer to email her, it blocked news about her father's corporals exam because of the immoral filth in the middle of it. :jayzus:

    No, I have to corrupt the kids TO communism via PowerPoint.

    That shit takes time.

    Get the font choice wrong and you've lost 3/4 of them.

    They ask for transcripts for lectures these days...

    Turn up and take notes, you shits. I had to!!

    I missed the first lecture of a biochemistry module (due to illness) where the lecturer defined ALL the abbreviations he was going to use for the rest of the semester, and refused to give them to me post-facto because "I should take my education seriously".

    Still fucking passed it.

    Well, here's a part of history I had no clue about. Basically, white supremacists wanted to steal an island that was stolen by first the French who brought over kidnapped Africans and forced them to labor on coffee plantations, then English took over and ruled until 1978. The kidnapped Africans finally took control and white supremacists wanted to take over and ... what? deport most of the existing population?

    Sounds like something FF would support.

    The problem with power point is that the slide should only contain the highlights. You still have to explain the rest. And most students don't even take note of the highlights on the powerpoint let alone pay attention to the lecture.

    Yeah, extremely fucked up and I only learnt of it via Cracked.com a day or so back... who says comedy doesn't teach? Paul's up to his neck in cahoots with the fuckers who tried this shit.

    I am tickled silly that a guy called Don Black is a white supremacist though.
