Don't underestimate the DNC's ability to freak this up.

Pretty much the only way it doesn't happen is if the DNC blows up several times worse than the Clinton campaigns failure, or if Trump hits a grand slam when it comes to the economy

There is a huge physical difference between men and women.

Also a huge physical difference between adults and children.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how you're so certain the Democrats will sweep the elections in 2 years mere months after everyone predicted just that and the opposite happened.

Have you turned on a TV or read the news? Trump won because Hillary Clinton was buried in scandal and her negatives were so high. After 4 years of Trump acting the way he currently is, his negatives will be legendary.

The economy could be his only saving grace

That's all #fakenews that told you Hillary was going to win.

Trump's negatives weren't high? He wasn't buried in scandal after scandal? Come on, you're better than this. It hasn't even been a full month and aside from the messy travel ban rollout, there really isn't much for the people who voted for Trump to change course. Why would they? He's doing, or at least trying, everything he pledged to do on the campaign trail for better or worse.

Also, the economy and national security were two of the biggest issues that decided the election. He's gung-ho on both. The travel ban and wall may be controversial, but many business leaders across the country have already publicly stated that his proposed economic policies will be good for the economy and future business prospects.

Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million when he was a relative unknown, with only a few months to say and do really stupid excrement.

He's been in office a month, and it's been non stop stupid excrement on his end. I think Trump could really do good things with the economy

But when he opens his mouth he looks like a completely freaking idiot

Not to mention  coming into his first term he's had the greatest negatives of any president ever

It's all about the economy and campaign promises. Bush lost the popular vote, started an unpopular war, and was unliked during the 2004 election when people assumed he'd lose because he was unpopular and young people didn't like him. Well, he then got himself a mandate.

[Pope]

If Trump brings jobs to the rust belt and midwest (read: swing-states) then he will win again easily. Assuming changes to the electoral system don't take place.

freak the NAACP, I guess.

Tommy's boy Milo Yiannopoulous:

Milo: “This is a controversial point of view I accept. We get hung up on this kind of child abuse stuff to the point where we’re heavily policing even relationships between consenting adults, you know grad students and professors at universities.”

The men in the joint video interview then discuss Milo’s experience at age 14.

Another man says: “The whole consent thing for me. It’s not this black and white thing that people try to paint it. Are there some 13-year-olds out there capable of giving informed consent to have sex with an adult, probably…” The man says, “The reason these age of consent laws exist is because we have to set some kind of a barometer here, we’ve got to pick some kind of an age…”

Milo: “The law is probably about right, that’s probably roughly the right age. I think it’s probably about okay, but there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age, I certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who are sexually active younger. I think it particularly happens in the gay world by the way. In many cases actually those relationships with older men…This is one reason I hate the left. This stupid one size fits all policing of culture. (People speak over each other). This sort of arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent, which totally destroys you know understanding that many of us have. The complexities and subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships. You know, people are messy and complex. In the homosexual world particularly. Some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, the sort of coming of age relationships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are, and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable and sort of a rock where they can’t speak to their parents. Some of those relationships are the most -”

It sounds like Catholic priest molestation to me, another man says, interrupting Milo.

Milo: “And you know what, I’m grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him.”

Other people talk. Oh my God, I can’t handle it, one man says. The next thing in line is going to be pedophilia…says another man.

Milo: “You’re misunderstanding what pedophilia means. Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13-years-old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty. Pedophilia is attraction to people who don’t have functioning sex organs yet. Who have not gone through puberty. Who are too young to be able (unclear and cut off by others)…That’s not what we are talking about. You don’t understand what pedophilia is if you are saying I’m defending it because I’m certainly not.”

Another man said, “You are advocating for cross generational relationships here, can be honest about that?”

Milo: “Yeah, I don’t mind admitting that. I think particularly in the gay world and outside the Catholic church, if that’s where some of you want to go with this, I think in the gay world, some of the most important, enriching and incredibly life affirming, important shaping relationships very often between younger boys and older men, they can be hugely positive experiences for those young boys they can even save those young boys, from desolation, from suicide (people talk over each other)… providing they’re consensual.”

what the fvck

what the actual fvck

[Tommy]

He's obviously not defending pedophiles, but saying that in his experience as a gay teen he's had consensual sex with older men, who probably would've been called pedophiles under the blanket definition. I mean, we sort of celebrate these teen boys who bang their hot older female teachers, so I think there's a little bit of a double standard there.

I was going to type what a bundle of sticks but he is, so it defeats the purpose. That guy's a jerk off, even cracking wise with the Father Michael "joke". I hope  someone does what they did in Sleepers to that lover of the older lady.
