Really?

Come on Aegon, I think we could all say something worse about Merkel.

None of us are President of the United States, are we?

No, but you get the point.

Here's hoping he says something to Merkel.

In other words, your vorlon has been as much of a pig as Trumple, and as much as a 'bimbo' (for lack of better terminology) as whomever he was apparently referring to.


And I have certainly engaged in repeated coarse descriptives and objectifyings of any number of hot menz.  Even at AF in other threads.

I'd be fairly right in saying, no matter how weird your sexual leanings are (not talking about the gay here, something held by c11% of the population isn't weird), they do involve you acting them out with other consenting adults who like, or at the very least tolerate it for a quid pro quo, that kind of sexual shennanigans.

On the other hand you've got Trump, who pretty much said that he did the gropings on women who didn't want to be groped and did not consent to being groped.

Big difference there.

Personally, I believe the president's most important role in 2016 is that of the chief diplomat. Can you imagine Trump representing the U.S. on the international scale? Within the first week he'd call Angela Merkel a "fat cow" and mispronounce Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud's name claiming, "Well those people, those people, they have hard names to pronounce."

So the idea that the race doesn't matter because it'll be the same shit one way or the other is just wrong.

Agreed - for the reason you gave and at least a dozen others.

POTUS is not a legislator at all ...I think the position has more important functions that chief diplomat as well, such as establishing policy guidelines and directions, both in the domestic sphere and the international.

You're right that diplomacy is a big part of the job, I just disagree that it is the prime aspect of it, this or any other year, really.

Establishing policy guidelines is the reason he has the title of "chief legislator."

"I wanna grab your pussy?"

Actually come to think of it, he's not the asking-permission type.
