Netflix has Mitt and Caucus which are both entertaining and strangely humanizing for Romney and Santorum (to the extent that you can humanize either of these monsters).

Hodgepodge posted:Yeah, that's how it played out in Berlin. The inner German border seems more relevant. A 1km-wide border cordon, electronic detectors, dogs, mines, "unclimbable" fence materials, watch towers and border guards with a standing order to shoot escaping citizens.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Trump being a Republican candidate apparently means that The Hollywood Reporter is now interested in primary politics. The Donald Trump Conversation: Murdoch, Ailes, NBC and the Rush of Being TV's "Ratings Machine"  You should read the whole thing, but I really think you should have a little taste first. quote:Q: What was the last thing you apologized for?

This should really be a pick me up for JEB!'s campaign. Jeb Bush Got $1.3M Job At Lehman After Florida Shifted Pension Cash To Bank quote:For Florida taxpayers, the move by the administration of then-Gov. Jeb Bush to forge a relationship with Lehman Brothers would ultimately prove disastrous. Transactions in 2005 and 2006 put the Wall Street investment bank in charge of some $250 million worth of pension funds for Florida cops, teachers and firefighters. Lehman would capture more than $5 million in fees on these deals, while gaining additional contracts to manage another $1.2 billion of Florida's money. Then, in the fall of 2008, Lehman collapsed into bankruptcy, leaving Florida facing up to $1 billion in losses.

This would be a terrific waste of money. I think it's more likely that O'Malley's trying to start poo poo in the hopes of coattailing some media attention.

Trump raking GOP candidates over the coals or spending his time blasting a Democrat? And it's not like giving O'Malley more press time as a result would be a downside for them, either.

But it wasn't as dumb as the "rape scene" described in that article (from the book it references). The way it's written in that book one can easily be forgiven for dismissing it as being unbelievable. It reads like something out of a cheap fetish novel or soap opera script. Just terrible.

Tatum Girlparts posted:For a while my uncle was an 'undocumented immigrant' here (his visa expired and he didn't give a poo poo), funny enough never heard any politician hemming and hawing about how we just NEED to handle these undocumented Romanians represented by him and his drinking buddies. Trump and his ilk (he's just more crassly stating normal right wing 'solutions' to immigration issues) are racist shitpiles because they turned a vast group like immigrants into "THE FUCKIN MEXICANS" To be fair, he was not undocumented. He was documented as being found admissible to the U.S., he is documented as having arrived in the U.S., he's just overstayed his visa and is thus remaining in the country against immigration law. This is different from someone who crossed the border illegally and is thus completely undocumented by the immigration system. It's also an issue, but a much smaller one. Border security is a security issue, people overstaying visas is just an immigration issue.

quote:Candidates who satisfy the criteria and achieve an average of at least one percent in three national polls, but are not ranked in the top 10 of polling order will be invited to participate in “Segment A” of the September 16, 2015 Republican Presidential Primary Debate.

Boooooring! I think after every debate someone should be voted off by the audience and permanently kicked to the kids table, then the next real debate has 1 fewer spot. Let's bring the reality show angle full circle.

Again, you described her as a model liberal, claiming there was no way in which she wasn't. What definition of "model liberal" are using where "voting for the war in Iraq" would be acceptable? Maybe you meant to use a different term, one that wasn't obviously wrong?
