Joe Biden could get away with it! Can’t see Nancy Pelosi going there!

Perhaps if they’d come from politicians, but pols in the States seem too serious for that. This sort of comment generally comes from comedians. I can see John Oliver saying Denise’s quote easily and it wouldn’t cause outrage coming from him as he’s said far worse!

Ha ha. Good one Denise Roche. And I remember the other quotes in the article too – all goodies, and all sort if sex related.

Am I being mean in saying – we laugh at this stuff in NZ, but in the US the quotes would have caused outrage, especially the ones from politicians?

It tool me several goes to get through it all. It’s pretty painful. They’ve obviously never come across our Brian before as they pronounce his name Tim-mee-kee, and call John Key, John Kay, but you can’t have everything I suppose.

These guys are, I think from the Seventh Day Adventist church. They say to our PM, among other things, “I say this with the greatest respect: Do not mock the Word of God, do not mock Those Who Warn You. In fact, I’l go as far as saying, and I’m very serious when I say this: You’re actually putting the lives of the people of New Zealand at great risk with your comments. Because just as the nations in scripture who mock God and who do not listen, they were punished. And you know, you are failing to see God’s Word. You are failing to see the warning signs. And if God is warning you, you need to seek God with all of your heart and repent for your nation’s sin. We’ll leave it there.”

I’m sure that’ll make all the difference at the next cabinet meeting.

And for an extra laugh, have a read of the comments after the video. SMH!!!

I wasn’t trying to bad mouth Stein. Although I have had a lot of negative stuff to say about her, I have absolutely no reason to doubt her integrity and I was only throwing out possibilities.

There’s absolutely no reason to think she feels guilty about her campaign or doubt the reason she’s given, that the public deserves some confidence in the integrity of the election results. If I wanted to add to that, I’d say the additional media exposure is a plus.

And it’s worth adding that in those three states Clinton lost by less than the number of votes that Stein received. So maybe she’s thinking of all those people who told her that she should tell her voters to vote for Clinton in swing states or is feeling a bit guilty. Or maybe she’s just trying to prove it wasn’t her fault Clinton lost?

I agree, but to get a recount in the US apparently costs a fortune. She’s had to raise millions to do it – more than 4 million so far.

Did she? If so, kudos to her, I’m willing to forgive her her wobbly stance on vaccination (as said, anti-vax is a pet peeve of mine).
But there should also be re-assessment of the counts in North Carolina (btw, the state of the Wright brothers, not some rural backwater), Florida, Ohio and Arizona. In fact all states where the raw exit polls diverge more than 1-2 % from the official count. (And, as noted, in all cases, systematically, to the detriment of Clinton and the advantage of Trump.)
