Meh needs to accept Going Political
5I come here for politics, not for household items of questionable quality and vague amounts of savings. One would think a political critique source would know better than to step onto the selling stage. I hate consumerism. I don't give a damn about either speaker docks or the knives. I do, however, care when my eye is shoved into it. Bolstering VMP.

@joelmw How dare you post a picture of a candidate who actually talks about the real issues and problems this country faces!?!
So, who's got the best drinking game for tonight's debate? Rolling Stone has a good one.
@Teripie I don't expect to see or hear anything of substance, so I'm willing to just drink and avoid the charade altogether. That's my drinking game.
@Teripie I'm not sure if I can watch it, but I'm certain it'll be sadly hilarious.
Drink THE FIRST TIME:
Donald Trump mentions his wealth, or how smart he is.
A candidate mentions Benghazi
A candidate says, "This president..."
A candidate whines about not getting called on enough.
Someone promises to "take America back."
Trump interrupts someone by saying, "Excuse me, let me answer that…"
Anyone mentions Hitler, Nazis or Neville Chamberlain. Includes related imagery, e.g. "ovens."
The crowd cheers a racist/bigoted statement by a candidate.
A candidate mentions his poor/hardscrabble upbringing, or a parent who "worked every day of his life."
A candidate talks about "stopping Hillary Clinton."
Anyone warns the U.S. is becoming Greece.
Trump refers to himself in the third person.
Anyone invokes St. Ronald Reagan.
Drink EVERY time a candidate:
Claims a positive relationship with a minority. Also known as the, "Some of my best friends are…" rule.
Tries to speak Spanish
Tries to warm up to the Ohio crowd with an awkward LeBron shout-out.
Drink EVERY TIME you hear the word(s):
"I'm not a scientist."
"You can keep your doctor."
"ACORN."
"The war on Christians."
"Thug."
"Right here in Ohio."
"Culture of dependency."
TAKE A SHOT OF JAGER AT ANY MENTION OF:
"Kenya."
"All Lives Matter."
@Teripie You missed, "WAKE UP, AMERICA!"
@Teripie Well, shoot. You just scripted the whole thing. No need to watch it now.
RIP @Teripie
@Teripie Yeah, you will cause irreversible brain damage within ten minutes of tuning in.
@Teripie I'm going on the assumption all of these things will be happening more times to count and just get blind drunk now. Maybe then I'll be too far gone to actually hear them.
@Teripie wow, if I played the game during the kiddie table debate I never would have made it this far into the prime-time debate
All lives matter.
People get pissed off if you say it.
Their twisted logic
@Lotsofgoats Oh I get it, because the houses are made of straw just like that comic. :p
I want to play too, eh!
@curtise what's he running for? President of Tim Hortons? Take off ehh ;)
@thismyusername That's Prime Minister of Tim Hortons - get it right, man!
Your colourful neighbours to the North continue to enjoy a constitutional monarchy!
Ugh! I despise ALL politicians and firmly believe both sides are bunch of corrupt actors that are too ugly and talentless to make it in Hollyweird. They only care about lining their own pockets and becoming more powerful than Oz. I'll just drink myself blind through the next 15 months but will use the above listed game posted by Teripie to spice it up a bit!
@Jolara My kindred spirit!
@Jolara 15 months? Ten minutes, tops.
@Jolara @Pamtha It's really a shame that this is so true.
@Jolara Let's start a new party! Our first sweeping change will be limiting political advertising to 1 month before the election.
(goes and hides from the television and radio advertising salesmen)
@Jolara @Pamtha This may interest both of you: Rootstrikers, a group that is working to fix this issue.
