Crisis on the Tortilla Coast! Rep. Tom McClintock of the House Freedom Caucus resigns from the group because of their complete inability to function.

"A common theme through each of these incidents is a willingness – indeed, an eagerness – to strip the House Republican majority of its ability to set the House agenda by combining with House Democrats on procedural motions," he wrote. "As a result, it has thwarted vital conservative policy objectives and unwittingly become Nancy Pelosi’s tactical ally."

Oh dear.

Someone on my facebook made a fantastic point about how there's zero question that this is racism.

If they legitimately thought it could be a bomb they should have evacuated the school.

Instead they just persecuted a kid because they look like someone who could make a bomb - in their minds.

He's not wrong. If I were a conservative congressman with at least a nominal view of advancing an agenda and not just scoring a cushy seat and speaking engagements for life, I'd be pretty pissed too that a bunch of bomb-throwers end up undermining any attempts at moving legislation forward.

Brady says he supports Trump for president

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw his support behind presidential candidate Donald Trump Wednesday, hours before the second Republican debate.

The Super Bowl MVP, whose four-game suspension for using deflated footballs was recently overturned by a judge, says he thinks his golf partner can win.

“I hope so,” he said. “It would be great. There would be a putting green on the White House lawn, I can tell you that.”

This election is already the best ever.

Re: The kid with the clock.

It's blatant racism -- if they were truly afraid of it being a bomb, surely they would have evacuated the school. So they're either incompetent or racist. Or possibly both, to be fair.

No see they never thought it was a bomb, they're claiming they thought it was a hoax bomb and thus by fiat it became a hoax bomb.

All the while the kid telling anyone that would listen that it was, in fact, a clock.

I teach introductory physics to non-science majors. As such, I have heard more stupid things than you can possibly imagine, lost in time like tears in rain. But this bomb-clock thing is sending me around the bend, and I've only just started to drink in advance of the GOP debate.

I may need emergency intervention before this day ends.
