I understand the governor and his family is bound to have lots of guests and such but I cannot fathom going through $1500 worth of food per month unless you're feeding half a dozen people the most expensive and overpriced poo poo you can get your hands on. Is Wegman's really expensive or what? Christie strikes me as the "honey hit Costco and buy me a pallet of ground meat, pastries, and hot pockets" kind of guy.

I don't think anybody in the know really thought the official story was 100% true just due to the usual intelligence fuckery, but that's a pretty far cry from buying the whole ludicrous quintuple conspiracy Hersh line.

The Christie campaign. Being corrupt is one thing, but being corrupt and ridiculous is another.

I hope this isn't enough to torpedo the Christie campaign. There have been decent indications that he has some very nasty skeletons in very shallow graves just waiting to get dug up and it would be a shame if spending comical amounts of state dollars on food was all we got out of his time in the spotlight.

Slate would like to remind you about the sort of people the eventual Republican candidate will have to woo in the third nomination contest in January.quote:The moderator, pollster Frank Luntz, handed the microphone to a woman from the audience. He asked her what she wanted from the candidates. She said she had once been a Democrat but had seen the light and switched parties. “People are coming in this country across the borders like rats and roaches in the woodpile,” she fumed. The audience applauded. She complained that states were registering people to vote and failing to “check them out.” “We’ve got to get control,” she demanded. When she was done, Luntz asked the crowd: “How many of you would vote for her for president?” The room erupted in cheers.

Best part of the documentary Caucus is a lengthy unbroken shot of Rick Santorum having to nod uncomfortably while a woman and her family tell him about how the US needs to start killing people who cross the border.

The GOP's position on issues is, sadly, still no where as extreme as American conservatism has been in the past. It's still horrifying, but man, it could be so much worse.

A sentient toupee posted:“Mexico? The worst. What they’re doing to us on the border is incredible. It’s incredible. People coming over like a sieve, and they’re taking our jobs.” The audience cheered as Trump promised to slap a 35 percent tax on cars made in Mexico: “We’re not gonna let you come across with the illegals, the cars. We got everything coming across: We got illegals, we got free cars ...” He concluded: “I would build the greatest wall you have ever seen. The greatest. You know who’s gonna pay for the wall? Mexico.” The crowd roared. The yoogest wall. Jazerus fucked around with this message at 11:36 on May 12, 2015 |

Honestly, Trump should run. He has that Palin quality of being perfectly in tune with the insane, hateful lizard brain of the GOP base, and his campaign would put the Republican field in the uncomfortable position of having to confront his bug-eyed insane solutions. I mean, getting Mexico to pay for a border wall, that's gold. He'd probably tell Iraq and Afghanistan they have to start paying taxes, too, as payback for all the work America did liberating them.

Jon Stewart will curse the skies that he chose now to retire.Neeksy posted:Doesn't that require the RNC or the average GOP voter to have the ability of self-reflection? They can't even identify that what these people are saying in public is even a problem. They know that saying it in public is a problem, they just never figured out how to make candidates stop doing it. The GOPe at least have the awareness to know every time a candidate suggests that white people be allowed to go into minority neighborhoods and hunt them for sport, they suffer at the polls. They just think it wouldn't do so if they called it a second amendment community togetherness program.

Before I continue: Trump is an evil, vile liar merely begging for attention with his statements. That said, when he claimed Mexico would pay for the law, I believe he meant through the 'car tax' he mentioned beforehand. Otherwise I don't know what the gently caress.
