It's not just speculation or even research by a Salon writer. The pied piper memo is a document from the Clinton campaign itself.

The order of events is

april 7, 2015: pied piper memo
late spring: Bill Clinton talks to his friend, Donald Trump, about "getting more involved in GOP politics"
june 16: Trump runs for president

That is, when Bill made his now infamous phone call, he had to have known about the pied piper strategy.

Donald Trump talked politics with Bill Clinton weeks before launching 2016 bid

I think Trump was coerced to run. By Clinton. As a pied piper candidate and a punching bag. And that they were probably in communication until he started to win.

In professional wrestling there are two terms of interest. The heel is the hated wrestler who has to occasionally win, for drama. The face is the favored, liked wrestler. I was using these terms for Trump (the heel) and Clinton (the face) early in the 2016 race.

WWE Talk: Donald Trump the heel, Hillary Clinton the forced baby face

All felonies should be punished by execution.
Most misdemeanors by judicial beatings.
Theft, even petty theft, by amputation.

People who take their children to fast food restaurants should be charged with child abuse

This is mostly related, but I watched a "documentary" once about people who only feed their very small children fast food and junk food. One family had their 2-3 year old drinking mainly soda out of a bottle and eating only candy + take out food. They went on the documentary because their baby was lethargic and having trouble sleeping, and they wanted help to fix it.

I agree with you if parents do crap like that ^, and it honestly baffles me that this behaviour doesn't already count as some type of child neglect or something.

And it should be considered a crime that could give such a parent a harsh period in jail.

why must one get a marriage license to get married, but not a parenthood license to make children?

Taxes should only exist for revenue generation and NEVER for social engineering.

The EC exists for an important reason. It gives less populated regions more say in the chosing of a leader who is supposed to represent the whole nation. It was intended as a safeguard against a regional President or say a President who only represents the cities.

Some people (not all or even most!) who present as Non-Binary would be cisgender if they hadn't experienced some sort of sexual abuse in childhood or adolescence that created an aversion to their assigned gender.

I'm not sure this opinion is unpopular so much as just false. :wink:

Sexual abuse is not at the core of every deviation from sexual and gender norms and it's ignorant to repeat those claims without substantiating them.
