Yeah, that didn't happen, but the head of Louis Roederer (who make Cristal) did once kind of lament the brand's association with hip hop and what that does for its image. That is probably the closest thing to any of those rumors that has actually happened.

radical meme posted:On a different issue, this article in Mother Jones is about Brownback and the Kansas GOP controlled legislature attacking the Kansas Court system. The Kansas Supreme Court ruled that school funding was not equitable and a lower court found the entire system inadequate, ordering the State to correct it. Instead of correcting the system, which would require raising taxes, Brownback and the GOP have decided to destroy the Courts. It's a small version of what many GOP members of Congress are saying needs to be done at the Federal level. The most chicken poo poo plan is to: I wonder how heavily involved ALEC and similar groups are so that this can be a test run for gutting the SCOTUS if a republican wins next year. It seems rather relevant to the Federal government that "oh well gently caress it we'll make removing judges arbitrary as hell" not be allowed to take root pretty much anywhere, though at the very least this is bound to cause a state-level constitutional crisis there when the government's response to the judges saying "you can't do X it violates the state constitution" is "gently caress you we'll just replace you with yes men." Munkeymon posted:Wouldn't amnesty give them actual legal protection which would make their labor cost more? Not for a lot of their workforce and the sudden influx of legal workers who are used to poo poo wages means you can now fire lots of un/low-skilled workers and pay the migrants a lot less because they're used to lower income. It's the exact reason Zuckerberg and other silicon valley "leaders" are big on amnesty and expansion, especially now that the massive wage-fixing that a lot of companies were involved in is public knowledge. Hire lots of cheap workers through a much easier visa process and fire those pesky people who demand things like "good wages" or "benefits" and so forth. Relentlessboredomm posted:Walker only has appeal with a very narrow subset of white men. Even that he might lose because he's a charisma-less bowl of mashed potatoes with zero accomplishments to talk about coming from a lily white Midwestern state. He might be competitive in the primary but Bush is absolutely the establishment choice. Walker's far easily to manipulate and until the Koch brothers decide to drop him he will have a chance because the Kochs could drop a (few) billion dollars in to an election if they felt they'd get a better return on the investment, like Adelson did with Romney. The fun thing about elections being so heavily influenced by money is that if, say, a pair of billionaire supervillian brothers really want their own personal puppet they can drop lots of money on trying to make it happen. Though I'd love nothing more than to see some billionaire proxy war with ungodly amounts of money being wasted in the GOP primary. Mister Macys posted:He's every head coach in the NHL. Mike Tomlin could get dressed blindfolded while on fire and he'd still look better than Rand.

So the Republican Study Committee has been promising they will have a health care plan out June 2nd. They have been teasing it with nifty little intern created graphics and tweets like this one. Alright cool, it's June 2nd. What time is the announcement? Majority Leader McCarthy: No healthcare bill until after the SCOTUS ruling Of course.

Ah, so they've learned how to release information from Trump.Jack2142 posted:Yup... I remember a kid one whose family wouldn't let him go to mariners games because they were running "sodo mojo" ad's and those implied the use of magic which is tainted by Satan. There were always a few Korean nuns at the community college I went to in Houston and they were nice enough, but a couple were in this public speaking class and for the first big speech project (which the teacher specifically said to keep apolitical, of course) one of them did her entire speech on the evils of abortion. It was kind of surreal to watch most of the class sit there in disbelief for five minutes, especially given that the topic was supposed to be about something helpful to others. Definitely took the edge off of my basic vehicle maintenance speech...

What I was pointing out is that his motivation isn't "oh no, I am genuinely concerned that Hillary is in trouble" as much as it is "come into the state and give the state party members a bunch of publicity and a fuckton of fundraising opportunity for the next nine months". It isn't just the media that wants a horse race.
