I know this is going to get moved for being too META but enjoy it or not while you can.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

There should be one board for pro Hillary and anti Hillary posters to have it out like the Israel/Palestine board.

[bigwillq]

1. Or one could just "hide thread" (nt)

[marym625]

2. How about no Hillary?

Then we don't have to worry about it at all

[bigwillq]

3. Thread winner!

[marym625]

5. so soon!

Thanks! I love winning threads!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. Stalin's and Mao's opponents mysteriously disappeared

One of the former's opponent was found in Mexico with a pickaxe in his head.

[marym625]

12. seriously?

You're comparing what I said to Stalin killing Trotsky?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Leopoldo Galtieri made people disappear too...

They actually picked up a friend of mine but let him go after a couple of weeks. It scared his mom so much they both left Argentina.

I was kidding. I thought I made that obvious.

[marym625]

17. nope

Sorry. Missed it. Good to know

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. He was a small time despot who made a lot of his enemies or perceived enemies disappear./Nt

[marym625]

29. scary

Have to admit, never heard of him. But glad your friend is OK.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. He was the Argentine president that tried to reclaim the Falkland Islands from Great Britain...

He was the Argentine president that tried to reclaim the Falkland Islands from Great Britain and suffered a humiliating defeat:

This is thirty years ago. My friend was a physician that had to take menial jobs when he got here...

If you are in a nation without habeas corpus or it's ignored you're screwed.

[marym625]

35. omd!

I can't believe I forgot that! Derp! Hell getting old.

I would imagine. A hard life. I truly don't know how so many people do it. Not just what your friend endured, but how so many have to live. I don't know I would stick around.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. His mom became a friend of my mom.

She couldn't speak English and my mom couldn't speak Spanish but they both could speak Yiddish. It was a gas watching them speak.

I remember telling my mom to tell her I thought Galtieri was a fascist. I doubt there was a word for it in Yiddish.

[marym625]

39. Haha!

That's really cool.

I kinda think there has to be a Yiddish word for fascist. At least after 1938.

Cool story!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

41. At first Reagan sided with Argentina, at least tacitly...

He sent Al Haig to ask Margaret Thatcher to let him keep the islands. Margaret Thatcher ripped him a new face. In the end the U S supplied the UK with logistical support. The UK really isn't set up to fight a war like that, even against a second rate power.

My mom probably said I called him a NAZI.

[marym625]

42. I remembered after you said it

Yes, who would have thought such a tiny place would have been such a big deal?

I'm sure that went over well

[DemocratSinceBirth]

43. It galvanized the British people.

I forgot a lot about the dispute but there weren't indigenous Argentines there. It was all British citizens.

[marym625]

44. I'll have to look it up and

Refresh my memory.

But must do it tomorrow. Time to sleep now.

Thanks for all the information and story about your friend.

[hatrack]

40. 30,000+ dead isn't "small time"

Compared to Stalin, maybe, but there aren't too many Stalins, fortunately.

[shenmue]

8. Really freedom-loving of you

[marym625]

13. I was kidding

Thought that was pretty obvious.

Wow!

[bigwillq]

31. DU no longer appreciates jokes.

[marym625]

32. evidently

Not the first time a joke was taken seriously.

Sigh.

Maybe we should start all kidding with "knock knock"

[marym625]

34. Just an FYI

There is no way in the world I ever thought for one second that Hillary Clinton wouldn't be mentioned on DU. That's why I thought it was obvious I was kidding. It's something that would never happen

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. I had her name in my trash can until about 2 weeks ago because DUers started

up with the useless, worthless chatter about her before we even had the midterm election. Imagine if they had spent less time shoving that name down our throats and more time out campaigning for the midterms...

[bigwillq]

10. I have heart, hearts, Ebola, Honey Boo Boo, Brian Williams

Chuck Todd, Sarah Palin, Kardashian and John McCain in my trash can.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. I actually still have her full name (correct and incorrect spellings. :) ) in my can.

Also:

Duggar
Mia Farrow
Pope
Woody
Woody Allen
MRA
Patriots
Brady

[bigwillq]

24. Good ones!

I add and delete from trash can quite often. I like that feature.

[marym625]

20. heart like we got from people here?

[bigwillq]

23. Yea. No issue with hearts or the drive--I think it's great--but

too many "thank you for the hearts threads". There should be 1 thread where you can thank your admirers. Since there's not, I decided to hide those keywords.

[marym625]

25. ah! As long as it's not

Ann and Nancy Wilson.

[bigwillq]

26. Never.

Love that HEART!

[marym625]

19. I think that people forget

She's not anywhere near the democratic party that we used to be.

[Agnosticsherbet]

27. June 2012 Story: Elizabeth Warren for President? Democrats' Barren 2016 Bench

Elizabeth Warren for President? Democrats' Barren 2016 Bench
or
Christie, Clinton top 'hot politician' list

The discussion about the 2016 Candidate started in 2012

[Thinkingabout]

4. Would you set this up for the trollers?

Let FOX news continue with their lies, this is a DU site.

[MohRokTah]

6. Politics 2015.

There ya go, right there. That's the forum.

[Renew Deal]

16. Politics 2015 should be renamed GDP 2016

[Cali_Democrat]

46. I remember GDP during the 2008 primaries.....

Holy shit!

[Renew Deal]

15. That seems counterproductive

Considering she is the Democratic frontrunner and the first choice of progressives like Howard Dean and Elizabeth Warren.

[HereSince1628]

18. In past primaries there has been a forum set up outside of GD

because it seems there has been no way to avoid us vs them vitriole between supporters of different candidates.

[MohRokTah]

21. This year there may well be only a singel candidate.

It's going to be a damned tough road to hoe for anybody attempting to challenge Hillary Clinton She's in a position to out raise any potential challenger at least $100 to $1!

[msongs]

22. one can post anti hillary stuff at the republican national committee site nt

[Logical]

36. Really? You must hate the primary's. Because fakes are exposed. nt

[marym625]

45. uhm. no primary?

We all just have to go for your candidate?

I didn't know the New Rules. Missed Bill Maher this week

[Renew Deal]

47. Maher was mostly anti-vaxx nonsense

[marym625]

48. oh. then I guess I just missed the new rule

On another show. Hmmm.

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front

[

Not even your future will be a mystery
any more. Your mind will be punched in a card
and shut away in a little drawer.
When they want you to buy something
they will call you. When they want you
to die for profit they will let you know.

Wendell Berry

[Rex]

30. We have that, it is called GD.

There probably IS a forum out there just like that!

[Marr]

38. It would have just ten posters, and two topics, posted over and over.

1. Elizabeth Warren isn't running

and

2. I promise to vote for the Democratic candidate, Whoever It Is*


*Whoever It Is meaning Hillary Clinton. If the candidate is not Hillary Clinton, then they are 'too far Left' and not viable, meaning centrists will not hold their nose and vote for a candidate who is not exactly what they want.

[Gman]

49. Why?

It accomplishes nothing good.
