I have to think that you can take out the DVD, but you'll always be left with TheJEBStory.com

...in which case we could get some great pictures of people popping in other movies and retelling TheJEBStory their own way

e: or maybe not, the message in the mail certainly doesn't read like you can. lol at including a charger though, I JUST CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS!

Rush sounds like he thinks the establishment and trump have signed some secret deal and now Cruz is the only pure conservative. He also said that attacking Cruz for his (legitamate) flaws is only making the base angry at Trump because it sounds like an attack "from the left".

I work in Miami and occasionally see "Florida is Marco Rubio Country" banners. I've passed by a Jeb! headquarters in Little Havana. It's an empty office with Jeb! fliers all over the walls and windows. Across the street was an empty lot with chain link fence with a Jeb! banner hanging from it.

Hello Jeb supporter,

Enclosed please find a Phoenix Touch Pro UV DLP Resin Based SLA 3D Printer. With it you can 3D print a small turtle. Any other 3D models have been disabled for this device, but it comes with an A/C power cord so you can print turtles for all your Jeb-voting friends, until the device runs out of resin.

Onward,

The most fascinating thing I've found about evangelicals and fundamentalists is that despite believing that the Holy Bible is the literal inerrant word of the almighty God, and that it alone holds the answers to every problem and moral quandary in their life, most of these types know jack poo poo about the Bible and spend almost no time actually studying it. They may have studied a couple verses verbatim, but that's usually about it.

So, it's kind of hard to say how much Biblical illiteracy will actually hurt Trump with the Bible infallible crowd.

Everyone worships their own personal god. Scripture exists to be mined for ideas for building your own god. To maintain the illusion of a single objective god, fundamentalists cut off access to all ideas to ensure nothing can be built.

Rush was running down all of Trump's 'liberal' past and carrying a lot of water for Cruz. He had a caller run through all of Ted's anti-Trump talking points without interrupting him.

Next segment he talks about Trump's support - Says they are patriots/American first types and not conservatives, and that Ted is both a Conservative and a Patriot, but the voters have to make up their mind who they would rather have in office.

Now he's talking about Trump's DEUS VULT! moment at Liberty U... He's thinking this is a BIG moment for Trump that will cause a huge shitstorm.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

i remember a few months ago after one of these gaffes or another you were saying that the talk radio guys were making a coordinated effort to dump trump and move on to cruz, i think it was

i feel like in the next few days you were relaying that the callers weren't buying it and eventually the talk radio guys gave up and got back behind trump

do you think the same thing's gonna happen now? if not, is some segment of their caller base now willing to go with the flip-flop on trump, or do the radio guys just not think they can sell as much stupid poo poo if their fanbase starts cutting out the middleman and voting for politicians who don't even need movement conservatism to sell stupid poo poo?

Depends - We are two weeks out from Iowa right now, so things are a bit different.

The base is currently split between Trump/Cruz, if Trump can turn this moment at Liberty U into a big deal then he'll most likely have them eating out of the palm of his hand again.

Looking at prices online, it seems you can get cheap Chinese-made ones for under $20. Some reporters are also saying that it might not be to every Republican, just donors and core supporters, though I don't know which side is correct there.

Probably what you said - a bunch of grifting in terms of the production of the video itself, the case, etc., and then you overnight Fedex it to some rich guy to make him feel like he's important and hopefully he throws some more money your way. So, not as stupid as it sounded at first. But still not smart.

Bloomberg is reporting that the city of Dallas is sending 400 iPhones to CEOs across the country in an effort to get them to relocate their businesses to Dallas. The Dallas Regional Chamber is footing the $250,000 bill for the scheme. Says Bloomberg, “Each phone contains an application with customized information about the city and messages from Leppert and other CEOs. The phone also comes with contact numbers and links to a Web site with additional information. … The city plans to follow up delivery of the phones with calls and emails from the mayor and others.”
