Who should be the next president?

[lester1/2jr]

fun fact: Ian Mackaye from Minor Threat and Fugazi's father was a reporter for WaPo and was in the motorcade when JFK was shot

Ian: Oh, yes. My father was in the White House Press Corps, 1960-1. He was working for the Minneapolis Star at the time, I guess. He was just in the press corps. He was just in the motorcade. He was just in a bus with a bunch of the other journalists following the limousine as they came into Dallas. They were two blocks back. They had no idea what had happened. The bus they were riding in suddenly accelerated and just whipped through Dealey Plaza, where the shooting occurred. And they saw everybody running. They knew that something bad had happened but no one had any idea. They didn't know what had happened until they hit the Parkland Hospital. They just pulled up in front of the hospital and that's when it became apparent that something very bad had happened at that point.

So I stop by after years away and I see everyone is still arguing over would be the best president ... all I'm going to say is I left in the mist of a lot of Obama supporters, how did that work out for you?

That an interesting punk rock connection (Im a punk rock fan) and just because I understand Nixon dont mean Im a fan of the guy-I just understand-I understand Manson and Hitler too-but I aint fans. I was watching Jack Palance in DRACULA when f**kin Nixon preempted the movie and resigned-I was not happy.

I dont give a f**k about Obama either way-he was ok,I reckon-my attitude with politics has shifted-I wish Jessie Ventura would run.
The thing with Trump-if he does win (which I doubt-because-yes-the elections are rigged) Congress will block everything he wants to do. And America will be stagnet-once again-it has been since Reagan left office-I hate to say it-he was our last halfway decent president.

Thanks did Andrew sell to site or just turn over the rains?  I'm friends with Indy and Trevor on FB - I hadn't realized it had been 5 years since I had last logged in and actually hadn't thought about it until deleting dead bookmarks and saw the link.

Nobody knows what happend to Andrew-he's just-gone. Its a weird mystery-he's been gone about a year at least.

Slight correction: I have not officially overtaken the reigns, I am just the only mod left who regularly posts. I did mention that if necessary I might buy the site from Andrew before the badmovies.org domain expires in June 2017 so we can continue.

Andrew logged in July 03, 2016 but didn't say anything. He's unreachable by email. I think he probably just moved on to other interests.

Oh, and hi, CheezeFlix! Hope you've learned to stop diluting perfectly good bourbon with Coke. 

[indianasmith]

Welcome back to my old pal Cheeze!

You have been missed!

[ulthar]

-not too many old timers no more-

Funny. Pretty sure I pre-date all ya'll.  The only person sorta regularly posting these days that was on here before me is Ash, who used to post as AshTheCat.

Some folks that get called 'old timers' are babes on this site.

And this is why the concerns about the media should trouble EVERYONE...Left, Right, Hillary Supporters, Sanders Supporters, Trump Supporters, Athletic Supporters...

Yes-siree, folks.  We have a columnist at the NYT who thinks Google should limit search results according to rules HE agrees with.

The sad thing is that this sort of thing is already going on to some extent.  Google is no longer returns 'unbiased' search results and that is VERY easy to verify by using an alternative search engine such as duckduckgo.

But, what is interesting about this NYT piece is how out-in-the-open the suggestion is...for Google.

In theory, Google is nothing but an information index. A cross reference of data.  Information does not have "sides."  Retrieval of information should not be 'filtered' in this manner.

This is also how history can be re-written.  Suppose 20 years from now, someone wants to do a paper on "Conspiracy Theories in the 2016 Election."  If Google is NOT indexing blog posts, articles, tweets, etc on this topic, it looks like it never happened.

Which is, sadly, exactly this a-holes desire: to re-write history.

So, go ahead toss stones at ulthar's rants against the MSM and the Progressive Left's SJW/PC tactics...the reality is they ARE corrupting our society.  Disagree with something a NYT columnist believes?  That's wrongthink and Big Bro can't have that.  Through silencing and shaming they derive control.

A reading of 1984 is definitely in order for everyone planning to vote in this election.
