  1. It's almost like people don't want to pay high taxes and be overregulated.
  2. Not anymore. Only criminals use knives. The worst of the lot use assault knives to eat their lunch.
  3. Viable does not mean screwed up a single presidential election for one side or the other. Viable means viable, as in they can regularly field candidates and win elections. The Libertarian and Green parties, for example, are not viable parties, because they cannot win elections. You do remember that there is actually more than one position in the US government that is filled via election, right?
  4. You can say the same about the Bull Moose Party. None of them were viable as parties, other than accomplishing their goal as spoilers in a Presidential election. They all very quickly went away.
  5. History shows us otherwise. As you pointed out, the number of reps went up each census for over a century, yet there has only ever been one viable third party - the GOP. Even then, it very quickly returned to a two party system. The thing about increased competition and turnover rate that you have to remember is that while Congress has an approval rating in the 20's (on a good day), the incumbency rate is well over 90%. People hate Congress, but love their representative.
  6. A.) Unlikely. The US uses a system of single member district plurality to elect representatives. That system inherently discourages third parties. B.) Maybe. Splitting up the districts further may allow more moderate candidates to emerge, but I doubt it. Just too much money and too much invested in keeping the partisan rancor going. C.) Not a !@#$ing chance. Adding more reps will simply make more career politicians.
  7. Only after betting has closed. The ability to shoot balls of fire from my eyes and bolts of lightning from my ass.
  8. That particular response would be from people who don't know what they're talking about. Trump would have simply dodged the storm of bullets to tackle the shooter. Those rounds he didn't dodge would simply bounce off his luxurious hair and bronzed skin.
  9. The Half-Truth is still around? Their bullschiff got old 10 years ago. Besides, word has it that smoking pot cures cigarette-caused cancers, so what's the big deal?
  10. Good news, if true: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-china-down-trade-125038915.html With luck, the troops will not have difficulty re-adjusting to civilian life once the trade war ends.
  11. Any bar serving free drinks.
  12. Whose [involuntary suicide] count is bigger?
  13. If they're born in the US, they can't be deported.
  14. https://www.yahoo.com/news/youtube-shooter-enraged-popular-video-172748237.html Pay the B word!
  15. Well, Bob Kraft does like taking care of children he didn't father.
  16. If it was fake, they're really going all out having the NYPD charge McGreggor with 3 or 4 felonies.
  17. He was ousted from power in 1996, just as he boarded the Botany Bay. Do you not remember your Eugenics Wars history?
  18. Thank God for that. No one needs fully-automatic self-loading high capacity assault magazine clips. The only thing worse are fully-automatic self-loading high assault capacity assault magazine assault clips
  19. No, it's not "part of the game" when the draft prospect loses millions of dollars (and potentially an NFL career) due to a pre-draft workout.
  20. Man, I hope the troops don't get spat on when returning from this trade war.
  21. Easy there, or he'll whip out the greatest Canuckistan insult there is... calling you a 'hoser'.
  22. Damn, I now have a goal in life.
  23. We do, which is why Hillary didn't get elected. On the off chance that you're referring to President Trump, please specify exactly what laws he has broken. Provide details.
