What kind of sick fuck names a retarded baby ”trig”? So your baby is all tarded and you give him a name meaning smart and trim? You tarded, too. ---

Missed the edit window. Look. **End Racism Now.** It’s a GOOD thing that you recognize that the Republicans must never again be allowed to hold Presidential power. From what you’ve posted on the Board so far, one might be forgiven for supposing that this insight represents the sum total of your potential to contribute to the discussion. Election’s in November. Crawl back under your rock, emerge on the 6th, cast your vote, and go back again. The only thing you can accomplish out here is to persuade fence-sitters that they don’t want to be on the same side as you. ---

Pretty much the only question is whether this is a sock or a garden variety troll. Well, that, and it’s a good time to start the betting pool on his banning. I say Sunday, July 8th, at 3:00 PM. ---
