We all like our choices

As seen on a wall in Berkeley:

The sentiment around here is that there is a choice.

The world’s only reliable newspaper would agree!

One of these days I really ought to give some serious thought to taking the election seriously.

I mean, sure, I will vote for anyone but Hillary, but I’d do it in my sleep, so how serious a decision is that?

    This is in the comments section of the San Jose Mercury News:

    As a Trump supporter, I was there, in San Jose, attending the Trump event on June 2.

    The Trump event attendees were forced to walk past the protesters afterward, after the event was over, to get to their cars. Broad areas of sidewalks and streets, that were not blockaded before the event started, were blockaded by barriers after the event ended,
    and standing in front of those barriers were lines of individual police officers telling Trump event attendees what route to follow to get to their vehicles.

    I had parked in a parking garage right next door to the event. Before the event, an easy walk to the event, after event over, had to square 4 blocks of sidewalk lined with protesters who somehow knew the exact route that Trump supporters/event attendees had to walk, and were waiting for them.

    Frankly, it was pretty obvious that either law enforcement personnel or the mayor’s office, someone in the know, had told the protesters where the Trump supporters would be forced to walk after the event. Attendees only went where law enforcement officers told them to go in order to get to our cars. We followed their instructions. The protesters knew, seemed well informed, of the direction where Trump supporters were going to be heading even before we exited the event, and protesters lined that walking route as a result, literally laying in wait where no law enforcement was present.

    There was an intent to force the supporters and protesters together. There was no intent to keep them apart.

    Trump supporters exiting the event were literally set up like rats in a maze, forced to follow a prescribed set of boundaries, which led directly to the protesters and not away from them.

    The press got their story but the clash was completely avoidable. It was created by intention and by design.

    Trent Telenko over at Chicago Boyz opines:

    Let’s be really clear about the implications of this report. These rioters were acting as an official arm of the Democratic Party controlled San Jose City government in suppressing the civil rights of Americans. The Presidential Election in November 2016 election is no longer about “Trump” or “Hillary.”

    Democrats are terrified of losing power and will stop at nothing to keep it.

    I though Hillary was the alien.

    Hard to make out the background, looks like Hillary gets a Medusa effect, and Bernie gets a halo.

    What did Bill ever see in Hillary? She has been an inept sleaze since the start, fired from the Watergate committee for unethical behavior. Hillary is not very attractive, not too smart and basically unlikable. I suppose, if she ever spoke in a normal tone, that her upper midwest/Wellesley/Yale accent might have made her sound a bit classier than Arkansas shit kicker Billy Jeff Clinton, but he was already a Rhodes scholar, how much more credibility did he need? He could have done a lot better.

    Hillary is a three. I mean a three-bagger, one over her head, one over your head, and over your dog’s head so he still respects you in the morning.

    Trump still isn’t Jesusy enough for these conservatools.

    Hint: if your faith is so weak that Donald Trump can challenge it something is wrong with your faith.

    “I mean, sure, I will vote for anyone but Hillary, but I’d do it in my sleep, so how serious a decision is that?”

    So join in the fun. There’s plenty of mockery to go around. Think about it the next time Hillarity!’s handlers prop her up in front of another lectern, with her voice box wired to a remote nerve stimulator attached to a text-to-speech converter.

    They haven’t quite worked out all the bugs, it tends to screech, and make strange coughing and cackling sounds while the semantic module hangs trying to find sufficiently meaningless combinations of words. But I’m sure they’ll have it all worked out by November. It will be awesome as Hell when the Hillbot stands and delivers a resounding speech, much like the Lincolndroid in the Hall of Presidents at Disneyland. And, after her term is up, she can be her own animatronic replacement, unless Madame Tussaud’s calls dibs.
