Somebody just assassinated the Russian ambassador to Turkey in Ankara. He was yelling "Allahu Akubar!" When he did it.

We may never know what motivated him.

Is it true that twice as many of Clinton's electors defected than Trumps?

[Professor Tiger]

As of 4:30 p.m. CST, there have been six "faithless electors" - the name given to electors who vote contrary to the candidate that won their state. While much of the attention on electors abandoning their candidate centered on Trump, the majority of the electoral party switches have come among Democratic delegates...

[Texas'] electors eventually gave 36 votes to Trump, one to Ohio Gov. John Kasich and one to former presidential candidate Ron Paul...

Four Washington state delegates opted not to vote for Clinton, the state's winner. Three voted for former Secretary of State Colin Powell and one for Faith Spotted Eagle, who had been fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota....

Two other electors - one in Minnesota and one in Maine - attempted to switch their votes from Clinton but were unsuccessful.

Results are not in from California or Nevada.

Snowflakes in desperate search of a safe space.

You have to figure that if half the country paid attention to the mountain of evidence that the new president elect is mentally unbalanced and temperamentally unfit to hold ANY office, much less the highest office...well, out of that 170 million people some peope are going to share their concerns in a public setting.

Snowflakes in desperate search of a safe place.

Oh the irony...you've said far worse than that woman about our president elect, that he's bat-shit and unfit and on and on, but you said that in the comfort of your easy chair. What does she weigh, 100 lbs?...ringed by 5 cops...and she's the snowflake? ::smh::

"but you said that in the comfort of your easy chair."

There's no comfort in this world for a mind as troubled as Prof's. Consequently, he puts his faith in an invented afterworld of peace and joy. Sadly, he is destined for disappointment again...

[Professor Tiger]

How can I be disappointed if you are right about the afterlife? I won't exist.

"I wish you didn't exist now."

[hedge]

You'll realize it in those final few moments as you gasp out your last breaths that I was right and you were wrong and that your entire life was wasted on a lie. According to the linear mode of time that you are familiar with, it won't last long, but as your death approaches, the nature of time will expand and you will experience the entire eternity of nothingness yawning before you, precisely similar to the eternity of nothingness that existed before you were born. You'll know that your entire existence was a foul-smelling hiccup b/w two eternities of nothingness, and that, brief as it was, it was a complete waste...

Trump is gonna be the death of America as we know it. Please, somebody, take away his Twitter access.

In most of the cases of near death experiences, most people report just the opposite of what you are fantasizing. Many report a peaceful tunnel, moving towards an inviting light, seeing deceased loved ones, angels, etc.

[Professor Tiger]

Right on cue, a new article in CNN by a hospice chaplain about what most people near death talk about - mostly family, and often regret and forgiveness. And lots of reaching out to deceased parents, as if they were right there.

Not much of that terror chamber you wish for me, hedge. Sorry to disappoint you.

"In most of the cases of near death experiences, most people report just the opposite of what you are fantasizing. Many report a peaceful tunnel, moving towards an inviting light, seeing deceased loved ones, angels, etc."

The people that reported that weren't near death, obviously...

[hedge]

I suspect that what most people experience in their final moments depends a lot on what they are expecting and what they've been led to believe. You're probably in somewhat of a dreamlike state and are "experiencing" dreamlike sensations and visions. Your body has most likely released a ton of pain blocking endorphins so you are probably in a somewhat pleasant state of mind. It's not surprising that the last moments of most people are probably accompanied by pleasant thoughts and visions...

unless they are reading your posts

[Professor Tiger]

Crash body checks hedge against the glass.

So hedge, if I'm all hopped up on pain blocking endorphins, in a dreamlike state, and expecting paradise just before I dissolve into nothingness, when am I supposed to fulfill your fantasy and start shrieking in terror?

[Jungle Rat]

Crash nails it.

And yet there's no example of an American muslim baker refusing anything of anyone. Or a muslim grocer refusing someone a beer. Or a transgender raping a kid in a bathroom.

There was also a time when white baker's didn't have to sell to negroes. I suppose that was against some people's religion, too. But the law said "get over it", and they did. See how well that works?

Maybe the Muslims are all terrorists and not bakers? Hi TALENT wherever the fuck you are!

I'm no theologian. Does the bible say anything about inter-racial marriage? A quick search says no? You're "negro" line is BS cause I've never argued nor defended anything like that which you of course know.

If I recall correctly you only have sons, so I wouldn't expect you to be to concerned over the bathroom crap. I'm not concerned about actual transgender people doing anything. It makes it easier for MALE predators to assess an opportunity to commit an assault. There is no trans police at the bathroom door. If "caught", I'm trans is all you have to say. It allows a male to enter what should be a female only area (bathroom, locker room, etc), and case the situation. It makes an assault more likely to occur. That doesn't even bring up the absolute bullshit about public school bath and locker rooms. Will there be a test to determine if actually trans, or must you simply accept the word of the person who says they are? I guarantee you the ACLU and LBGT would sue over any "test" or psyche exam as discriminatory. It's very simple...if you've got a penis you go here. If you have your cock and balls cut off, okay you can use the woman's restroom/locker room.

Purer,

Talent is now a right wing conservative.

No joke.
