The Nastier Nate posted:There's something really sad about JEB, the 5th/6th place candidate attacking Rubio who is in 4th place. Both are polling in single digits in most states. I understand why he's doing it, but it reeks of desperation, like saying JEB couldn't run with the big dogs so he's picking on the young up and coming scrapper who is just trying to get by and make a name for himself. Doubly so because Rubio considers JEB as one of his political influences. i love that he's not even trying to take on a candidate who is higher ranked, and who has sufficient support that if he leeched them all their support away, his numbers would improve. even if JEB! somehow completely absorbed all of rubio's votes, that would still leave him, what, 3rd or 4th in line? it's like he's completely committed to proving Trump's definition of his character to be explictly true. "try to take on one of the top dogs? that sounds like a lot of work  "

I'll admit to being a bit charmed by his immediate admission that his analogy is facile and useless, leaving him with no real idea of how to engage in foreign affairs. You don't often see that kind of honesty from a political campaign.

There's a very firm belief that the establishment candidate will eventually turn it around when the polls "matter" so that's why he's basically writing off Trump/Carson/Fiorina. He just has to make sure his backers continue to buy that story.

Bush needs to take down Rubio because he is in trouble TODAY of being replaced as the non-Trump, serious candidate for the establishment GOP. Regardless of what Trump does, people are now looking more closely at Rubio as an alternative to Bush. Everyone is hoping (except for us) that Trump will just fade away, but if Rubio is standing at the top of the rubble pile as the establishment candidate then Bush is a goner.

LFPR is at a near 4 decade low. 3 straight months of job growth for immigrants and job decline for those born in the USA. Jeb! and Rubio are just 2 out of touch fossils who are nearly indistinguishable from Hillary Clinton when it comes to our border, our immigration policy, and the plight of the blue collar worker and the American middle class. I'm sure the political elites and the media morons will be highly entertained by this cripple fight for second place. Meanwhile Donald Trump continues to bypass the establishment and take his message directly to us, the American people.

It's been so great watching the chaos Trump has wrought, and watching the talking heads beginning to realize that we are completely off the rails in the yoogest, most luxurious way.

There was a different case a few years back where one of the teachers had a concealed carry and stopped a potential school shooting before the would-be murdered managed to fire a single shot. Can't remember the details, though.

Nintendo Kid posted:One of the dudes there was concealed carrying. Yep. One was interviewed last night on the Factor. Wanted to make his way to the epicenter to see if he could help, but in the meantime he and his fellow students he was with came into contact with some form of authority (wasn't clear from his remarks if it was police or school officials) who instructed them to be locked down in an area. They complied, and also the gentleman commented that it is possible they may have been a hindrance rather than a help depending on their approach and where the shooter would have been by the time they arrived. i.e. the typical responsible permit holder exercising his second amendment rights and causing ZERO problems, so I am pretty drat sure no one other than FOX is ever going to interview him since the other media outlets are 100% in the tank for Democrats and 100% in the tank for the crusade against the Bill of Rights.

Cardboard Box A posted:Yeah, Monopoly is a clone of a game made by Georgists (single-taxers) as a critique of how the capitalist system results in the formation of monopolies over land and resources and encourages rent-seeking behavior. never heard of this before but it owns The set had rules for two different games, anti-monopolist and a monopolist. The anti-monopolist rules reward all during wealth creation while the monopolist rules had the goal of forming monopolies and forcing opponents out of the game.[2] A win in the anti-monopolist, or Single Tax version and later called by Magie as "Prosperity Game", was when the player having the lowest monetary amount has double his original stake.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Landlord%27s_Game

And he doesn't have to shoot. Just pointing a gun at someone goes a long way to make them think twice. Apparently, it is illegal to conceal carry on that campus. That there was someone with a gun near the place is surprising enough, but eventually he would attempt to stop the shooter. We'll probably never hear anything related to security issues at the campus because we need stricter gun control law.
