Ok, I went back a looked at them. Most of it is people trying to convince the original tweeter that they are "smart with good data skills". My favorite is this one:Originally posted by creekster View PostI decided to read through some of the comments to that tweet to get some more info. It confirmed that that group of people would be loads of fun at a party. Not.
(So you're telling him you should do the most obvious basic thing). And then the original tweeter crushes him/her:

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

So it was up, and now it's been removed? Can it be found elsewhere? And, what did it say?Originally posted by Moliere View Post

Yeah, they must have removed it. I read it before posting the link. It was Breitbart endlessly mocking Shapiro since he quit over the weekend over their handling of the Michelle Fields story (Michelle also quit). It was a pretty funny article but not something you'd expect from even a borderline news company like Breitbart.Originally posted by myboynoah View PostSo it was up, and now it's been removed?

A conservative/libertarian argues that we should all hold our noses and vote for Bernie.

Some valid points there about civil liberties, which is exactly where Trump scares me the most. One problem is that Bernie has no chance of getting the nomination against Clinton. IOW, nice philosophical exercise, but if the choice is Drumpf vs. Clinton my vote goes to the Libertarian party. Then on election night I would fully expect Drumpf to get trounced even by Ms. Clinton because the percentage of angry rural white voters isn't enough to have him win. I think even an independent run by an "establishment" republican might even be possible, in which case I'd consider voting for that candidate depending on who it is.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostA conservative/libertarian argues that we should all hold our noses and vote for Bernie.

Basically, it doesn't matter anyway, vote for who has the best smile. This is kind of my view on politics, already, but I'll still vote for the person I think aligns closest to my political beliefs.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostA conservative/libertarian argues that we should all hold our noses and vote for Bernie.

Yeah, Bernie doesn't have a chance getting the nomination against Clinton because of the super delegate problem and the Bernie supporters may end up burning down the democratic convention center in the protest. But if it did come down to Bernie and Drumpf I would very tempted to skip voting for my beloved libertarian party candidate (whoever he or she may be) and "feel the bern". I don't think Bernie can do any close to the damage that Drumpf would. If it was down to Trump and Sanders then I would vote for the hippy.Originally posted by BlueK View PostSome valid points there about civil liberties, which is exactly where Trump scares me the most.
