No Values Voters 2008'

Shao Kahn, Sauron, Senator Palpatine, Shredder, Cartagia and Palamecia are all experienced with politics to one degree or another, and they all apparently think they can get the job done for the American Administration. The Onion wants to know what America thinks.

For some reason I clicked on the link and couldn't read it.
"I know its easy to be defeatist here because nothing has seemingly reigned Trump in so far. But I will say this: every asshole succeeds until finally, they don't. Again, 18 months before he resigned, Nixon had a sky-high approval rating of 67%. Harvey Weinstein was winning Oscars until one day, he definitely wasn't."-John Oliver

I SUPPORT A NATIONAL GENERAL STRIKE TO REMOVE TRUMP FROM OFFICE.

I'm amazed the "Engulfing things in flame" demographic had such a low turn out... Only double those damn well-poisoners... I mean who poisons wells anymore?

Someone who goes around engulfing things in flames is the no-values equivalent of an evangellical. Every NVer THINKS its good, and they might even admire it, but few commit the time or resources to actually going out and engulfing things in flames.

The well-poisoners are mostly rural baby boomers at this point. You can read all about it at the Evil Center for Evil Polling Data.

What about Cobra Commander?

Sure, he's horrible on the battlefield, but he's got insane skill levels when it comes to everything else a government should have.
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

Look, the idea behind posting Onion articles is that you post them without indicating the source, and you see how many people fall for it (and then how many people get all butthurt about it). Posting a video doesn't work, especially not when you say "this is from the Onion". And you couldn't even get the link right. And the rest of this thread is spam.

This thread fails. Locked.
