How else would you pronounce that?

Because English is dumb, it's pronounced "frih-git". At least when not related to a scandal, I guess.

[smjjames]

EDIT: I want there to be a scandal about a security gate let unattended, and then a scandal that the original scandal was manufactured. That way we can talk bout Gategategate.

Do people actually think that Watergate was something to do with water, not the name of a hotel?

You mean the Watergategate scandal?

Naw, convention with the "-gate" suffix is that if it's being added to a word that already ends in "gate", you drop the one at the end of that word before adding the suffix. For example, "Watergate" yields "Watergate", "Gate" yields "Gate", and "Gategate" yields "Gategate". Notably, this applies regardless of pronunciation, so that "Frigate" becomes pronounced "frih-gayt".

Heh, yeah. I remember there was a gate furniture in The Sims3 that made a joke over the -gate thing by making it part of a fictictious gategate scandal.

Nah, everyone knows that those easily abused cyber-bullying/stalking laws only get pulled out when you're a little person. Trying to take someone to court over them who actually has resources to hire a legal team would get them smashed down super hard.

But no, let's not call Trump's supporters "crazies", that would be unfair. To crazy people.
I'd call them the santorum of America's collective asshole, but that would be an insult to...well, you get the picture.

Fix'd that for you – super ironic, yeah?

[smjjames]

It still makes you wonder if he is going to pull that on world leaders that he doesn't like because doing that was a seriously dirty lowblow.

I mean, if he only did it once, okay, then it was just a lowblow prank, but if he pulls it a second time, it starts to look like it would be something he might do more often.

Edit: I think someone needs to give him a serious look and ask him if he would pull that stunt on world leaders that he doesn't like....

[RedKing]

Well played, sir. Insult to Rick Santorum, but well played.

Maybe the Trumpstapo? It's been fascinating to see that Megyn Kelly's Facebook page has been bombed with 25,000+ comments, almost entirely negative. They range from "disappointed" to things I won't reprint.

On the other hand, Trump appears to have picked up the support of the MRA crowd, because y'know..."Hey, this guy is getting bashed for saying crude shit about women too!"


EDIT: @smjjames: Like you even have to ask...of course he would, and his supporters would jizz themselves over it.

"Hey that loser Putin keeps flying his planes near our airspace, so here's a picture of him in the crapper that our spies took, and here's his personal diplomatic number. Call that moron and tell him he don't want to mess with America, baby!"


Trump has the potential to make the world nostalgic for George-fucking-Bush.

So anyone knows what's that Bernie/BlackLivesMAtter thing is?

Also, I'd love to send dickpics to Putin's personnal phone.

Better would be endless meme pics of him molesting / being molested by big kodiac bears, with literary references to "bears" (homosexual).

Putin's policy decisions paint him as being rabidly homophobic.

Send Putin khuy?

things are going pretty well for bernie sanders

Article:CNN Blurb

Pretty much some ill informed BlackLivesMatter protesters attack Bernie Sanders for no reason, but Sanders seemed pretty cool with it.

Edit: Here's a better article in case you want to read.

[wierd]

Why not?  You could couch it with actual research that paints people with extreme negative reactions to images with having secret fetishes for them. (there really is some compelling data there.)

Thus, one could make the argument that his previous policy statements against profanity and pornography indicate a closeted interest in the subject matter, and that you just wanted to make sure he had some to enjoy personally, given the restrictiveness of his regime.

Believe me, you don't need to hire actors to get BLM to attack people.

[BFEL]

If by "seemed pretty cool with it" you mean "walked away from his own speech disappointing those who came to hear him" then yeah, so cool.

Well, I dunno, putting pressure on political candidates to pay attention to your pet issue is like activism 101.
