Trump is great, pushing this pic of Rubio stuck in some dumb meme.

Trump is gonna be the first Internet troll to be elected president.

Watched a little bit of trump on snl, it was incredibly cringey, but not because of trump, more because it's snl and it's the worst written hot shits I've ever seen. The opening skit was literally people sitting on couches not even telling jokes, just trying to say wacky things. It was embarrassing and I turned it off.

I've considered voting for Trump in a general just as a joke vote. I'm just scared too many others like me would do the same and suddenly the joke isn't funny anymore when Trump is getting sworn in.

Not the president we need, but the one this loving country deserves.

quote:

After a Hispanic man was beaten Wednesday by two Boston men, one of whom told the police that he was inspired by Donald J. Trump’s anti-immigrant message, Mr. Trump told reporters that his supporters were “passionate.”

Two brothers from South Boston were arrested and charged with beating the 58-year-old man, who is homeless, with a metal pole, breaking his nose and battering his chest and arms, The Boston Globe reported.

“Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” the police said one of the brothers, Scott Leader, 38, told them. His brother, Steve Leader, 30, was also charged in the beating, the police said. The Globe reported that the brothers have extensive criminal records.

Told of the attack, which also left the man soaked in urine, Mr. Trump said at a news conference late Wednesday that it was the first he had heard of it.

“It would be a shame,” Mr. Trump said, before adding: “I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”

I'm kind of hoping the writers intentionally wrote lovely unfunny stuff to make him look bad. (Insert joke about how they must've been doing that for the last 10-15 years' worth of hosts)

But yes, my extended family are a both bigoted AND Mizzou fans so Christmas will probably be obnoxious. I almost bit my tongue off listening to them talk about Ferguson last year.

How do states with open primaries work? I am very young and don't know. Do you choose one party's primary to vote in, or can you vote in both?

foobardog posted:

You used to be able to choose for each race in many states (but only one for each race), but the parties got that blocked. Now you just choose one.

You may also hear a jungle primary called an open primary and in that case all candidates are on the same ballot, and then top two move to the general regardless of party.

FourLeaf posted:

Ah. So in that case it seems like it would be better to try to spoil the Republican primary only in years where the Democratic candidate is an incumbent, and has no real competition, like 2012.

7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.

8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of anger will fail.

9 Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor.


16 Oppressing the poor in order to enrich oneself, and giving to the rich, will lead only to loss.


22 Do not rob the poor because they are poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate;

23 for the Lord pleads their cause and despoils of life those who despoil them.

In other Mizzou being lovely news, apparently most of the football team is on strike until the president resigns

loving with football in the deep south? The alumni would probably overlook absolutely anything BUT that. Hopefully it's effective

Edit - whoops, skipped a page and didn't see this got covered already. Oh well I guess here it is again for a new page!

Someone mentioned a ways back that one of the Republican candidates had a particularly insane plan for healthcare reform. Stuff like $2k a year HSA as a cure all, use your family's bank account to pay your medical bills, etc. I was looking for more information on that and I can't really seem to find it. At least not all of it. Plenty of stuff is easy to find on Carson promoting the $2k/yr HSA but can't find any of the rest, there was a bunch of stuff and I was telling a family member about it and they just couldn't believe it.

I could but I didn't have any good articles handy and I wanted to give them a good one on it.*

Anyone have any good links I can pass along?

*_{actually I hope its all some terrible misunderstanding on my part and I'm getting the details wrong but I'll take watching someone else's face react to reading about this crap as a consolation prize}

How health savings accounts would be funded, and by how much: Before this weekend, Mr. Carson had long been saying that the federal government would give every American $2,000 every year from birth to death, money that could be spent only on health care, but could be shared among family members.
