FAUXTON posted:I wonder if there's some interplay between Carson's soft-spoken persona, Trump's boisterous shitheelery, and the disparate Fav/Unfav numbers of both causing Carson to gain support as Trump turns up the volume and increases his attacks. The sense that I've been getting about Iowa, specifically, is that it's largely about faith and perceived hypocrisy. Iowan caucus voters of both parties tend to be more religious than the respective averages on both sides of the aisle (see 2008/2012 primaries, etc.) and it's pretty apparent from the polling/interviews that a lot of Christian voters don't buy Trump's lip service to Presbyterianism. Throw in some Carson sound bites about cracking down on professors who say mean things about Jesus and his performance shouldn't be surprising at all. It's surging Santorum all over again. Kro-Bar posted:I was homeschooled with cult-ish fundie textbooks, so my sex ed consisted of my mom pushing a book called "You're almost 12" or some poo poo at me, blushing and leaving the room. Thank literal gently caress for the internet. Lowtax and his merry band of misfits raised you better than your mother ever could. zoux posted:Watching the video I was surprised how many of the kids were just acting like nothing was going on at all. Nobody is better at internalizing and normalizing institutionalized racism than the children who suffer its brunt the most. My girlfriend's M.Ed program emphasized a focus on educational inequality and she completed her teaching practicum at a 75% Latino/20% black inner city high school. She probably spent about as much time trying to undo the years' worth of baggage that these poor kids were trucking around as she did actually teaching them academic subjects.

He's currently plowing all his campaigns money into consultant groups to raise more money, which has better grift returns than paying for staff or voter rolls. He's not actually campaigning, and thus won't win.

He's the empty cipher that a GOP voter can project their ideal candidate upon.

The party of white supremacists is not going to nominate a black man, period. Also trying to criticize Obama for the successful raid on ISIS is not surprising anything and everything is bad and his fault in the eyes of Republicans. If he cured cancer tomorrow they would complain that he hurt the bottom line of pharmaceutical companies. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest.

I think the escaped mental patient who has kidnapped Dr Ben Carson and is keeping him tied up in a basement while he's using Dr Carson's remarkable career to make steal cash from 73 year old conservatives, might actually believe he has a chance to win...

It's surging Santorum all over again. Actually, the general feeling I've gotten living in Iowa is that the rural Iowans really hate the Universities here in general. They seem to be applauding the funding cuts that Branstad is bypassing the (bi-partisan) legislature to do.

The house has filed papers of impeachment. Against IRS commissioner Koskinen edit, the charges: quote:The first charge provides the facts of Mr. Koskinen’s failure to comply with subpoenas. In February 2014 Congress instructed Mr. Koskinen to supply all emails related to Lois Lerner, who ran the IRS Exempt Organizations division during the targeting. We now know Mr. Koskinen made little or no effort to preserve or track these communications and that, only a few weeks after the subpoena, IRS employees in West Virginia erased 422 backup tapes, destroying up to 24,000 Lerner emails. You tired of hearing about e-mails? WELL gently caress YOU - Sincerely, the House. pathetic little tramp fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Oct 27, 2015 |

Whether or not we killed or capture Osama was irrelevant--the moment we congealed into a quivering mass of nationalism, started revoking personal freedoms and spending trillions of dollars destabilizing a region, he won. The subsequent divisiveness, xenophobia, erosion of due process, obstructionism....all just gravy. 17 hijackers and a small terrorist organization managed to bring a world power to its knees in more ways than one--socially, financially, ethically. The fact that we are still putting boots on the ground in the middle east is further proof.

I remember reading that his whole goal was to goad the West into such unconscionable brutality against the Mideast that the whole Muslim world would unite in response and usher in the global Caliphate but that's my fuzzy recollection.
