I hate all these people so much.

There's a very short list of people in this article that shouldn't be in jail.

Proof that you need a better publicist. I say bitch to de Correspondent.

That is a pretty big deal, though, isn't it? Hillary's health is one of the major points the tump-types are using against her.

Speaking as a two-time former moderator of /r/politics, you have absolutely nothing to gain from spending time in /r/politics.

I got there two days before they decided to ban pretty much everybody for having, like, opinions. Then they decided to let Mother Jones back in, but to explicitly ban anything from Kevin Drum because he was a, and I quote, "spammer." Why? Because entitled twenty-somethings make their own rules and Reddit rewards them for it.

Spending time in /r/politics will actually make you stupider.

    As an aside, I don't know why I'm over in that subreddit so much.

Hillary and Trump are both 70, FYI. Obama just turned 55. No matter who gets elected, their health is going to be an issue their whole term. The age of the candidates is also why I am predicting that the winner of this election will be a one-term president.

edit Hillary is 68. Point stands, that is old for someone to run and serve as President.

The more Cheetos you eat, the fatter you get.

Just sayin'.

Not a clue. All I know about Kaine is that he seems like a 1950's Eisenhower Republican. He's left of our current center, hates the Citizen's United ruling, likes Dodd-Frank and otherwise seems like a moderate.

I'd hate as hell to be him of something happens to the first woman President and he has to take over.

It's the Windows model: sell it to the management and the whole company's stuck with it.
