NEW REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES: Part 4 Mar 9, 2016
imageClose call, once again, so the deciding vote is the first vote.  Antonin Scalia is going home, again.  What can I say about Scalia?  There is the violent video games decision, the moment in time when he became the gamers' hero.  And there is the friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which I didn't even know about until his death.  Such a strong friendship between a super-conservative justice and a super-liberal justice is a reminder of who we should be, but most of the time cannot be.  But...  Scalia is not going to be president. 

The battle continues!  Six candidates remain! 

Still running:

Theodore Roosevelt

Dwight Eisenhower

Richard Nixon

Gerald Ford

Ronald Reagan

George H. W. Bush

Suspended:

9. Taft
8. G.W. Bush
7. Antonin Scalia

Write the name of the next one who must suspend his campaign!

NEW REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES: Part 3 Mar 7, 2016
imageIn a unanimous vote, the 43rd president of the United States was elected to suspend his campaign. Unlike 2000, this was a landslide. 

George W. Bush will be remembered, in part, as having some interesting things in common with his successor, Barack Obama.  They both like golf, both like the Saudis, and in the past they were both big fans of pot, cocaine, and alcohol.  Luckily they kicked those habits.

Aside from John Quincy Adams, George W. Bush is the only son of a US president to become a US president. 

Still running:

Theodore Roosevelt

Dwight Eisenhower

Richard Nixon

Gerald Ford

Ronald Reagan

George H. W. Bush

Antonin Scalia

Suspended:

9. Taft
8. G.W. Bush

Write the name of the next one who must suspend his campaign!

NEW REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES: Part 2 Mar 6, 2016
imageOkay, guys... 
Due to low voting turnout there was basically a tie between Reagan and Taft. 

Since this is a very tight election, tighter than Bush and Gore, tighter than Hayes and Tilden, I it must be taken out of the hands of the voters.

Since Hatchell was the first to vote, his vote is the deciding one.  The nominee that is out of the race is William Howard Taft, the only man in the history of America to serve as US President and Chief Justice of the Supreme court. 

I hope to have higher turnout in the next round, and, of course, in the Democratic primaries that will take place later on.

So here are the nominees still in the race for the alternative primaries:

Theodore Roosevelt

Dwight Eisenhower

Richard Nixon

Gerald Ford

Ronald Wilson Reagan

George H. W. Bush

George W. Bush

Antonin Scalia

Write the name of the next one who must suspend his campaign!

In defense of Donald Trump Mar 5, 2016
Before you neg, hear me out.

Listen, frankly, I'm not in the pro-Trump camp.  I criticized the man so much they call me the Trump-criticizing-machine.  That's what they call me. 

Regarding his little monologue over the size of his pecker, I just wanted to say, although it seems inappropriate and although people have criticized him, it was actually Rubio who started that whole thing.  Rubio spoke about how Trump is insecure about the size of his fingers, and how he sends pictures of his fingers to the guy who criticized him (I wonder if in the next few years Rubio will get nude photos from Trump...)  So, anyway, in this particular case, it was Rubio's fault.  Just wanted to throw that out there. 

At any rate, even if this fight is about who has a bigger one, Trump will lose. 
Hillary's bigger.

Please plus.  Please clap.

Smart posts vs. dumb posts Mar 5, 2016
Some of us are aware that in this day and age different people are at a different place in the TV watching.  And so, when talking about what has happened, or even about what you THINK might happen, there are two ways to post about it. 

Let us say we love the show "The idiots".  Okay?  Here are two ways to post about it:

First way.

Title:  The idiots' episode tonight

Post:  I have a feeling Andrew and Ben might die tonight.

Second way

Title:  I HAVE A FEELING ANDREW AND BEN ARE GOING TO DIE!!!

Post:  bla bla bla bla

Please stop that BS.  Okay?  Can you?  Choose the first way.  Let people choose if they wanna read about that show.  Leave the rest of us alone.

Atheist faces prison Mar 5, 2016
An atheist in Russia is facing prison for expressing his theological viewpoint.
Are you friggin kiddin me?

You know, I have lots and lots of criticism against the country I'm from, but you know what?  In Israel, with all of the religious coercion that's going on, you can still openly run for office as an atheist and have your party win several seats in parliament.  In Russia you can't even express your beliefs online.  Shameful!  And the West should rise up against it!  Jews and Christians should rise against it!
