    If I ever like one of your posts, it will probably be that one.

    In my opinion, it means something similar to the following,

    "How dare you say that. How dare you try to defend the indefensible, or discuss something which society abhors. You are not allowed to do that. You must know the unwritten rule regularly circulated by the media and other sources about discussing such issues in such a manner. What you seek to discuss is too fearful for words, or too wicked to contemplate. I hereby wave my politically correct higher ground card in your face. You are no longer allowed to open your mouth, or pick up your pen. Not only is what you have souht to discuss, morally represhensible, but you are a disgrace for seeking to raise the topic in any manner other than by spewing bile, and outright condemnation upon it. Do not say another word. I win."

    Blimey - the voices in your head are even more verbose and paranoid than I thought. Must be exhausting.

    Anyway, in brighter news, I see that the UN has this week appointed an Ambassador for "The Empowerment of Women" <diva>

    No gender bias there at least.

    No thanks. Fortunately they chose Wonder Woman as the Ambassador, so I was able to comfort myself by masturbating whilst watching a Lynda Carter video clip.

    Though in many ways your internal monologue is a scary and confused place it is sometimes quite amusing.

    Even if that were true it would be a useful word as it would be good to know that the writer had such extreme views.

    What really stands out about the US Constitution is that there is not a single thing within it that addresses the American people, as it breaks down as follows...
    Article One: Congress
    Article Two: POTUS (yes, the US Constitution placed more importance on Congress than the President)
    Article Three: the judicial branch
    Article Four: relations between state and federal government, as well as admitting states to the Union
    Article Five: amending the Constitution
    Article Six: making the Constitution the supreme law of the land
    Article Seven: set the number of state ratification in order for the Constitution to take effect

    It was another fifteen years before the Bill of Rights was drawn up to compensate for such a glaring oversight, which is worth remembering the next time somebody bangs on about their "Constitutional right" to do something.

    There is one glaring issue at the moment regarding the presidential system, which is that due to changes in demographics, the republican party might never get reelected. Which basically means the end of a meaningful democracy in the US.

    A second glaring issue is that 21st century democracy appears to essentially mean a battle of dirt in the media.

    A third glaring issue is that the mainstream media channels appear to be able essentially decide the election.

    There's a theory doing the rounds that Trump is actually a Trojan horse installed by Hillary in order to make sure she wins the election. It's a theory riddled with so many gaps in logic that it almost makes the writing on The Walking Dead look borderline competent.

    I mean, come on, are we supposed to believe that Donald Trump okayed a plan that would see him go to jail for fraud the second he accepted a single dollar in campaign donations, let alone the millions he's received during this campaign, or that such a plan could be put into place without a single person who was in on it letting slip that it was a scheme? Considering the amount of campaign managers Trump has hired and fired, that's a lot of people that would need to be briefed about the plan.

    1) I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion? The House of Representatives will most likely be Republican controlled even if the Democrats win the popular vote. 2) Agreed
    3) Surely there are more non-mainstream media than ever before which I thought would be a good thing but seems to have led to very polarised views.

    Or change and actually become appealing to the electorate you need to vote for you,
    regardless of the demographics.

    Perhaps the Republican party should've considered this before they alienated virtually everybody?
    In order to vote for them now, you've essentially got to be a white, straight, male, Christian, gun owner who's extremely self-interested.
    Even then you're probably pushing it.

    The party can hardly complain about dirt battles either, especially when it's Clinton that they're up against.
    They've been attempting to slur the woman for about 30 bloody years now, so even when they do find something, nobody cares.
    Anything that Wikileaks digs up on the Democrats falls by the wayside, as everyone's sick of birther crap and "Benghazi!!" every day.

    The Trump cry against mainstream media is particularly laughable, as they're the reason that he won the nomination.
    They've given him billions in free advertising and it's backfired horribly, as everything that he says makes him look bad.
    The rest of the party should be ashamed that they couldn't find anything on him, as there was tons of it.
    How did they fail to find a single thing to eliminate him from the running? His closet has so many skeletons in it that it resembles a mausoleum.

    Closer to home, it's emerged that upon hearing that Boris Johnson crashed out of the Tory leadership race, David Cameron sent him a text reading "You should've stuck with me, mate" - which is possibly the first thing Cameron has done that made him appear human

    Wouldn't it have been wiser if, knowing that Boris had designs on his job, Cameron kept his enemies close and found a spot for him in the cabinet to keep a leash on him? Except that was hardly Cameron's way of doing things, given how long he took to address the Scots referendum or Britait campaign, and made an utter hash of both.
