So as Jeb Bush starts attacking Trump for not being conservative for wanting to raise taxes on the rich, he had a clip from his extended interview with Colbert last night start to go viral on the right. The reason it is being passed around to much anger is he talks about gun control in Florida, addressing gun control nationwide, and comments on how he would deal with NRA resistance to mental health checks. His responses were completely empty claptrap, but it is still pissing people off. My point is that Trump really does know the Republican Party better than Bush does

One way to curtail the influence of corporate lobbying is to budget for more congressional staff who can draft policies, instead of having to rely on lobbyists.

What was the context? "This was a good start, but now we need to pay Lockheed Martin a few billion dollars to make it more efficient!" Is my guess.

Zeroisanumber posted:"If we just say the right magic words, Obama will go up in a puff of smoke and brimstone." They're never going to trick him into saying Amabo Karab, no matter how many times they try. I haven't checked yet, but this means he's advocating for opening up the boarders and accepting as many refugees as possible so this never happens again, right?

Lindsey Graham said yesterday that we should tear down the Statue of Liberty if we don't. Of course, McCain and Graham also say that the whole thing is Obama's fault and that the solution is troops on the ground and a bombing campaign. Here's the video of McCain's floor speech: http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4550265/senator-john-mccain-syrian-refugees

By sheer coincidence, I'm on vacation in DC today and couldn't pass up the chance to see the Iran rally up close. We got to hear Sarah Palin's word salad, duck dude discussing world politics and Glenn Beck not shutting the hell up while people were baking in the 91-degree heat. Lots of fun protesters too. After an hour, we had enough of the circus (and the sun). Some girl from the Washington Post was looking for Trump supporters and tried to interview us. She was actually having trouble finding some...

Kind of hilarious that conservatives are saying we need to stop the iran deal specifically so things like syria don't happen again. Because going to war and destabilizing another country surely wouldn't add to the migrant crisis.

Are we talking a good 800,000+ like Germany is? I mean, they've got about 1/4 of the US's population, so the US's acceptance number ought to be around 3,200,000, but still...

The US needs to pass legislation so that the sons and daughters of Congressman(and congresswoman) are the first to be shipped to the front lines in case of a war. I can guarantee you that they'll start looking at diplomacy as their first options and war as their last desperate measure.

They're majority Muslims, so take any number that sounds vaguely reasonable and divide it by 100.

If anyone is interested in reading Lessig's Republic, Lost (and reviews say it's very good) you can read it for free at the link here http://lesterland.lessig.org/pdf/republic-lost.pdf This link comes from Lessig's own tumbler page. Ezra Klein wrote a detailed analysis of the book http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2012/mar/22/our-corrupt-politics-its-not-all-money/
