As is the state of US politics, the election is over and nothing has changed.

Mike saw them at The Loft in La Jolla last Saturday and said they were 100% the real deal. No samples just 4 dudes jamming in real time the entire night.

Trifectas are always scary though. When either party holds all 3 seats of congress **** can get crazy real fast.

Sure it's conjecture. Thing is that I base mine off of the real world and you are basing yours off of what you wished would happen.

I see it's all let's beat up on the old man hour.

I agree with him somewhat but there is just no way to tell. There isn't anyway to tell if those votes were purely protest votes or they were legit votes for Gary. Also, by policy standards someone that votes Libertarian would vote Republican since they are on the same side of the ideology square but that doesn't mean they wouldn't vote for Clinton. Maybe they think Gary is completely unqualified along with Trump and would vote for Clinton. This brings in a whole bunch of what ifs with no way to concretely prove anything. So let's not pretend like you guys jumping on Chula are anymore correct than he is.

Why do you need to bite your tongue? Just fill your fat face with food. You shouldn't be talking with your mouth full.

Okay so, the unemployment, proper welfare services and national debt thing is way off base. At the end of Obama's turn, he will have decreased the national debt by . The unemployment rate is also in a good place, welfare services are also fine if you qualify to get on them it's pretty easy actually. The super PACs and money in politics would be the only thing I agree with in that mess of a statement.

As I addressed earlier in this post. There is no way to tell that they were purely those type of votes. I believe some where but there isn't any way to prove that without shoving a mic and a camera in every one's face that decided to vote for Johnson.

My opinion is that I can't listen to it until I get home from work.

Shoot me your address in a PM and I'll ship you a batch of my famous home made oatmeal raisin cookies along with a coupon for a free pint of whole milk.
