So, remember how people opposed Clinton because she was the warmonger?

Trump being a warmonger doesn't make Clinton not one, you know.

For the record: I dislike them both equally, but Trump is more likely to run the USA into the ground and provide me with sweet catharsis. So there's that.

You probably wouldn't be too happy if he takes the global economy with it Though given that we're the global superpower and thus, a pretty easy target for any sort of anger, I guess it'd be the 'knocking the king off the mountain' sort of catharsis. Unless you've got some specific beef with the US. Wouldn't be angry at you if you do since we've done plenty of shitty stuff in the past that would rightfully deserve being angry at.

Also, people complained that Obama was too much of a dove, and Clinton is a warmonger compared to Obama, though she's more like mainstream Dems as far as warmongery.

Well, yeah, but if you use that as an argument not to vote for her vs. Trump, you're implying the other one is less of a warmonger.

Heh. The rhetoric from Maduro's son. Almost sounds like he's trying to get a reaction from Trump. Plus, he appears to have mistaken Trump Tower NYC for the White House.

A Venezuelan politician may have launched an assassination plot on Marco Rubio.

Uhhh... Is Venezuela trying to get into a war with the US? I mean, wouldn't assassinating an US politician be pretty damn close to a declaration of war? Even if it doesn't lead to war, it'd definetly lead to something pretty harsh.

It might not even amount to anything, but I mean like, that's pretty brazen for a countries politician to want to assassinate a politician of the worlds most powerful country who can easily curbstomp Venezuela into pulp if we so wished it.

The former Colombian rebel group has adopted a new name and symbol as they transition to a political party, kept the acronym though.

Spoiler: Their new flag (click to show/hide)

Opinions? They could probably have changed the acronym since the acronym still has the baggage of it's past.

A rose? They gonna be the new labour party?

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

Ah yes, I think I've found all the polo cal threads now, all the threads that matter at any rate.

[scriver]

Labour party? The rose is the flower of socialism in itself.

Ah yes, I think I've found all the polo cal threads now, all the threads that matter at any rate.

Even the Elusive East Asian Thread?

Note: All the ones that matter to me, I'm only paying attention to the DPRK thread, when it comes to Asia.

You're only on top of them for now, but when Ameripol is locked amidst the flames of the 2018 election, it shall rise again, phoenix-like, into a new Freedom Thread form. (Trying saying that five times fast).

[smjjames]

You just want to have your own AmeriPol thread misko, lol. (teasing)

2018 will be interesting for sure, but I doubt it'd get as heated.

LAmeripol is immortal. LAmeripol will survive.

[Helgoland]

Can't we rebrand it as LOLMeripol, under new LW management?
