Waiting on family, before I go vote. Anyone from Michigan know a site where I can see our proposals? I'm having a hell of a time finding a source, via google, that can sum these bad boys up, for me. Don't want to accidentally vote against my interests due to wonky language. P.S. I'm a strong liberal/democrat and am happily voting for Hillary.

For those of you who are gamers, think back to 2002-06, when Hillary railed against the video game industry and promised censorious measures, including her Family Entertainment Protection Act, of which many similar bills across the states were struck down as unconstitutional. Do you want her choosing the next Supreme Court justice? For anyone living in New Mexico, this is Gary Johnson's best shot. If he wins his home state, he can force an Electoral College deadlock and throw it to the House of Representatives. There you will get a lot of Never Trump Republicans who might see Johnson as a compromise candidate. I haven't shilled for my candidates in threads like this, but I know people are genuinely pissed about both choices, and this is the best way to avoid the lesser of two evils. As an avid gamer, I'll bite the bullet without an issue. A Supreme Court case on Transgender Rights is scheduled for 2017. When Trump wants to appoint Supreme Court Justices that would reverse The 2015 Countrywide Legalization of Same Sex Marriage. Not only will I bite the bullet, I'll shit out the lead.

There's apparently a breaking situation going on in North Carolina, thousands of people are being turned away from their polling place because election officials "can't find their name on the registered voter list," even though these people ARE registered voters.
I REALLY have an uneasy suspicion about that if true.

It means about as much as saying that you own the worlds longest stick of bubble gum, but Guam, The US Territory that has successfully voted for the eventual winner of the election six elections in a row picked Hillary.

There has been almost no chance of Trump winning this for many months now. Every time they say the polls are getting closer they still show a pretty easy victory for Hillary. I voted early and I voted for Gary Johnson not because I like him but because i can't stand Hillary or Trump. People say a 3rd party vote is a wasted vote. I disagree, the current two party system got us these two choices that not many people seen to be too enthusiastic about. If you keep saying "it's useless, they can't win" then I think you're missing the point. Maybe they get 5% this time, 10 the next, and become legitimate contenders down the line. I see nothing wrong with more options to choose from. Well, good news: The State of Maine (is probably) going to adopt Ranked Choice Voting for their state elections. So hopefully, that acts as the first domino, in a similar fashion to how Colorado and Washington acted as the first dominos for pot legalization.

I do not know if it will hold up or not, because it was from a poll that was a couple months old, but I remember seeing I believe it was a Pew Research Poll, that said that this election is the first time in our entire history of our country where over 50% of Americans want both candidates to be one term presidents, no matter who they face in 2020.

Clinton might have her faults, but Trump's mentality as it relates to...well, everything, should make this a pretty easy decision for most. It should have been enough for most that Ivana Trump had to retract her rape claims as part of their divorce settlement. It should have been enough that Trump's earliest appearances in newspapers was for discriminating against black renters. It should have been enough that that he routinely stiffed contractors for their payments. It should have been enough that he bragged about sexually assaulting women, on video. It should have been enough that his foreign policy calls for committing war crimes. It should have been enough that his rhetoric threatens to undermine the democratic process itself. It should have been enough that the list of his outright lies ticks up faster than a webpage hit counter. Maybe it'll be enough today that he flat out lied about Tom Brady endorsing him. Maybe that is where the line is drawn. The line should have been drawn the second the made "those comments" about a certain minority group in his Campaign Announcement speech. It should have not only been drawn, but it should have been framed and hanging in The Smithsonian at this point.

There are a couple of things that we need to learn from this:
1. GET INVOLVED IN THE POLITICAL SYSTEM, AT LEAST AS A VOTER. It makes me want to turn someone into an inside out sock puppet when things like "American Politics sucks, everyone is a bunch of liars, you can not trust anyone, just ignore it and live your life" are said. The system is broken, yes, but if everybody worked within the system, there would at least be a CHANCE that the system could eventually be fixed. If you ignore a broken system, it is going to stay broken.
2. Without dwelling any further into it, we really need to revive the era of compromise. And seriously work towards moderation within the political parties.

Alright, three things I want to get off my chest for this one: 1. I want Hillary Clinton to win this election. 2. I am bothered that The Republican Party has a pretty solid chance to retain control of The United States Senate, due to their refusal to deal with the vacancy on The Supreme Court. 3: If Trump does pull this off, I am probably going to be doing my best Crow Sting impression, by hanging around rafter balconies, and refusing to speak for a year and a half.

Alright, now that I checked up on this thread and I see actual cards and a show date, I might as well go ahead and pick up that meditating dude, Taj Mahal, I think? You know, that one that's going around grocery stores looking to get them to start selling broccoli juice or some shit like that.

At this point, controversy HAS GOT to be one of Youtube's Kinks or something. I previously started a thread on their Advertiser Friendly Content, and now, without even wearing any white vans, they are back at it again, where they have this new program for users in which users all have levels, and they grow in level by doing tasks that give you points...... which includes among other things, MASS FLAGGING ANOTHER USERS VIDEOS. That type of action is now considered REWARD WORTHY.
There's a MASSIVE dislike counter on the video above, so as per usual, the fallout from Youtube's decision is going to be quite ugly.

I start my first job, ever, on the 8th. As a Sales Associate at a retail clothing store. Yeah, starting to look for a job at NINETEEN was pretty f***ing lazy of me, but despite my lack of prior history, and lack of luck in securing any position at all throughout the summer, I have been given an opportunity to show what I am made of. Now all I need to do is sell clothes in the same fashion that Dolph Ziggler sells moves, and I'm golden.

You don't need me to say it to know that the idea that he's young, he's an athlete , "so we shouldn't ruin his life by putting him in jail" is absolute asscheeks.
Even if hypothetically of course, until the day before he did this, he was nothing but an angel that would make St. Peter look like someone who needed to go on Beyond Scared Straight, he assaulted an unconscious female behind a dumpster. Yeah, young people make mistakes, but this isn't forgetting to do your homework over the weekend, this is RAPE we are talking about here. Who cares if two years of jail time would have ruined his life, he certainly didn't make that females life any better.
Such a f***ed up deal.

*Portal opens up in thread, flies out of it and tumbles to the ground. Gets up and brushes self off* Oh, hey. So apparently, in similar fashion to how Broken Matt Hardy can summon Brother Nero via violin, apparently, whenever Reby Sky plays a saxophone, I get teleported to a random E-Fed. But seriously, if we can get some more attention to this, and get some more sets of legs signed up for this, I'd have no problem with taking a part in this.

I wonder if this is in regards to sexual content, rather than swearing, but Google's always been pretty incompetent in how it handles a lot of stuff with youtube. I looked for the full set of guidelines and I just gave them a read through, and on top of swearing, these are the video topics that, if uploaded, are at risk of being deemed inappropriate: . Anything that shows partial nudity, and/or has sexual humor within the video. . Anything that is excessively violent, including footage of someone suffering a serious injury, and/ or footage or discussion of violent extremism. . Any video that promotes the selling, usage, or abuse of drugs, legal or illegal. . Any video that contains imagery and/or discussion of : Past or ongoing wars, politics, natural disasters, or tragedies.
