Hostile being a synonym for capitalist in the democratic lexicon possibly?

Hey comrade, the capitalist eggs look golden on the outside but are filled with putrid decadent rot on the inside! The eggs from the hard working hens of the people's paradise may be smaller and can only be bought every other week but are the product of the honest collective.

You really can't bitch about people saying all republicans are racists when you commit the same kind of crime, Li'l Rip.

They definitely don't like each other. Japan occupied Korea for around 35 years and the occupation was pretty oppressive, the Koreans and their resources were exploited solely for the benefit of Japan. The Koreans don't think the Japanese have adequately apologized or compensated them for this.

I think they are referring to the mutual hostility between South Korea/Japan and North Korea, but yeah, the phrasing is awkward.

And the basic idea of limiting nuclear risk isn't "nuclear weapons only for our pals." It's "nuclear weapons for as few powers as possible."

Every additional launch button raises the risk. There's a reason it was never US policy to give independent nukes to every NATO member, and it's a good thing the USSR felt the same way about the WP.

While I'm all for not for increasing the number of nuclear powers (because of the increasing complexity involved), I just think Saudi Arabia (which was also on the list Trump talked about) would be a far better country to showcase as a really bad idea to give nuclear weapons to. Plus, calling Japan and South Korea as hostile countries is, as was noted, kinda awkward. At least in the 21st century.

Politically, definitely Saudi Arabia would be a better choice. As a matter of nuclear proliferation risk...the risks from those countries are different, but Saudi Arabia is not necessarily a bigger risk overall. South Korea is much more likely to be involved in a war where its existence is on the line (with North Korea / China) than Saudi Arabia is, and in such a war South Korea might be tempted to use at least tactical nukes (at least directed at an army), which could have catastrophic consequences.

Of course, Saudi Arabia would have a higher risk of nukes or nuclear material getting stolen / proliferated to anti-American terrorist groups.

Are you implying racism because that poster has a commie fellow who looks Asian? Seems like a stretch.

You were definitely voting for him months ago. Are you now definitely, definitely, definitely voting for him? Or just definitely, definitely voting for him?

The problem is the voters are standing too close to their target.

It's more like Drumpf is the human molotov Putin can throw.

No, I'm implying that you try to lump all liberals and democrats into one group with one motivation, but balk when others try to do the same thing with republicans and/or conservatives (like the aforementioned cries of "all republicans are racist" that comes up every now and again from the more extremist folks).

Colbert brought up that "Blacks for Trump" sign held up by a white person

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Wed Oct 26, 2016 12:54 pm

I have to wonder if CBS is nervous about Colbert losing a large chunk of its white male audience with his frequent skewering of Trump.

It's not really white males though, it's mainly white males without a college degree. I sort of assume that they stopped watching the Late Show years ago during Letterman's heyday.

A funny political ad

It's inevitable. If you're going to suck up to Putin, sooner or later Pussy Riot is going to dedicate a song to you. A possibly NSFW song.

Straight Outta Vagina.

Ok, I would say you have a valid point then.

I appreciate their stance, but I wish they would choose another medium to convey it.

I've seen public-access cable puppet shows with better production values. Are we sure that's not a parody?

That's what she said!

Law student Aparimita Pratap's reaction after watching the video was that Mr Trump "has already lost the election and no video is going to save him".

"He can't win in a million years. If he thinks that just speaking a few words in Hindi will get him the votes of Indian-Americans or win him fans here [in India], he is so horribly wrong," she said.

"He just has the support of some Indian-American business families and he thinks whole of India loves him. But then I can't blame him: he is the living embodiment of ignorance."

Her friend Raymon Singh agrees and just laughs after I show her the video.

"This is so funny. He seems to have rehearsed the slogan many times, but he still didn't sound convincing," she said.

"Are you sure this is not some spoof video?" she asked.
