Wow, I missed all the fun again. Have a political argument. What could possibly happen?

More like ironic. Thirty years ago it would have been Barry Goldwater saying the same thing.

They watched the same news channels as everyone else and, contrary to what my liberal friends seem to believe, did not have the magical power to reach anyone outside of Facebook with their Ruskie mind control rays.
I think basically the Russians wanted to stop Clinton regardless of who was running against her. I also think they're trying to disrupt the American process as best they can (more Republicans= more discord from all sides). I'm not sure the Russians would be in line with Bernie Sanders today. I'm not even sure where Russia even is ideologically speaking these days

Which tells you just how despised Hilary Clinton was/is. We don't vote on the issues; we vote on personalities.

Disagree. Most of the independents I know tend to lean right but they also tend to be disgusted by the Republican party. They're not evangelicals. I think they're kind of Libertarian actually.

Ban away buddy. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Yet he's quick to dehumanize me at the drop of a hat despite the things we have in common (we're both in business and (as far as I can see anyway) good at what we do, even like a lot of the same music). Sad but typical.

Chula basically has a bad temper. He's actually a pretty good guy, but he is pretty militant in his views. I don't always agree with him either (I'm a lefty who can't stand Hillary Clinton). Anyway, I wish Chula would think before he lashes out. It's easy to lose your temper, but it's better to keep it in check. Anyway, I'm glad he only got a day.

There's a good joke about children and the Catholic Church in there but I'd need the right meme to capitalize on it.

I think a Libertarian might disagree with you.

Self-proclaimed Libertarians are always either embarrassed Republicans or authoritarian anarchists. **** what they have to think tbh.

Church. I've yet to meet a Libertarian who sounds like Gary Johnson. They always sound like they missed the boat with the Hitler Youth.
