It's worth listening to Carson on Marketplace today. Kai fucks his poo poo up. edit: Ryssdal: With respect, sir, you didn't answer the question. What are you not gonna do? It's easy to say trim fat, it's easy to say 3 to 4 percent reduction, but rejecting the premise of the question isn't answering the question. Ryssdal: I'm gonna try one more time, sir. This is debt that's already obligated. Would you not favor increasing the debt limit to pay the debts already incurred? Ryssdal: I'm really trying not to be circular here, Dr. Carson, but if you're not gonna raise the debt limit and you're not gonna give specifics on what you're gonna cut, then how are we going to know what you are going to do as president of the United States? Ryssdal: Yes. You keep saying we're doing things in the government we don't need to do, but when I ask you what you're gonna stop doing, you don't tell me. Ryssdal: Explain to me a little bit how people are second-class citizens. You've compared the Affordable Care Act to slavery, sir. http://www.marketplace.org/topics/elections/full-interview-dr-ben-carson-economy Bar Ran Dun fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Oct 9, 2015 |

Hillary came out against TPP, putting her to the left of Obama and in agreement with Bernie Sanders. Republicans said more stupid poo poo, including Ben Carson saying this: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/10/08/ben_carson_tells_cnn_holocaust_could_have_been_different_if_jews_had_guns.html quote:And Carson’s views on gun control, laid out in his book A More Perfect Union, bubbled to the surface again on Thursday during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, where he suggested that the outcome of the Holocaust would have been different if Jews had guns. Russia's still blowing up poo poo in Syria. And Boehner agreed to stay as Speaker of the House, because something odd/interesting/hosed up happened.

What if this was Boehner's plan all along to show the Republicans that they couldn't get their poo poo together to actually elect a Speaker so they better be happy with the one they got and stop loving with him.

So if the debt limit comes up before he leaves, we're ok. If not,

Pretty sure he knew that he'd get run out on a rail for the Debt Ceiling raise that he has to do to prevent bad poo poo from happening and him announcing his retirement is his way of ensuring he leaves on his own terms.

Man could hold a pistol to his temple and he'd have 30 people calling for him to pull the trigger.

BUBBA GAY DUDLEY posted:So World War 3 is starting and a dog will be the new Speaker of the House? There's a Raising Cane's in one of the easier parts of Boston to get to (relatively speaking). That place is from Louisiana and it's delicious and gently caress it, I get to live in the People's Republic of Massachussetts. Checkmate(?) Not that Boston doesn't have a history of intolerance, grotesque racism during the busing era, and corruption of the worst degree- including in ostensibly liberal public institutions or anything. Also, my alma mater has the best campus food in the country and one of the chefs happened to be from somewhere in the South. His fried chicken recipe is still probably the best I've had. One of the dining halls had comfort food nights and lunches every few weeks or so and it made winters so much more bearable. And that was in the Deep South of the Deep North, as they say (not really, but within close driving distance). zoux posted:They would outpoll Jeb in the state caucus.  Bunleigh posted:Hey I'm from California and I love Mexican food and Chipotle. I live in Rhode Island now and there is no good Mexican food to be had anywhere but Chipotle is still just as good so I'll take what I can get. Come to Boston/Cambridge. Anna's, Boca Grande, and Felipe's are all equally as good at their worst. ...also, Dorado in Brookline is totally worth the trip for their cemitas and Western Mexico-style tacos. Hell, even Qdoba got interesting when they decided to go all in on cheese sauces, and the one in Cambridge is on par with Chipotle quality-wise. Of course, there are also now Chipotles basically everywhere so.... Some reps offloaded a big handful of Homo estas? 'bogo free' meal coupons on my gf and I during the pride parade and we coasted on those for a few weeks.  What I'm saying is that Boston is pretty solid for Southern food if one must live in a civilized part of the country.

This speakership situation is wild. Is Boehner locked in until the next election? If they don't have the votes for a new speaker the situation's not going to change any time soon, and any 'moderate'/establishment candidate would actually be in a worse position than him since as a dead man walking he's at least free to make unpopular moves. He's already completely symbolically surrendered even if they won't let him leave. This debacle must've cost him what little authority and control he had left. Even moderates sympathetic to him must know he can't make promises or command loyalty in his current state, if he brings a debt ceiling increase or a clean CR to a vote he's not even a target worth venting at - it'll be whatever 30 or so Republicans stick their necks out to get must-pass legislation done and bear the brunt of Conservative scorn. Any speaker elected with help from the Democrats would have to make concessions to them and be seen as a traitor and weakling by the base. Even if they make Boehner bring up votes to keep the government and world economy solvent, will there be the votes? If everyone but the hardliners went in for them that might provide more cover, but if it's just a bare minority then they're painting targets on their backs.
