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.

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.

Trump is great, pushing this pic of Rubio stuck in some dumb meme. "My campaign will consist primarily of freeze-framing my opponents and attaching it to whatever Twitter says."

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.

Every time you get that urge, look up something like this: http://www.nytimes.com/politics/fir...ner=rss&emc=rss 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.”

Random Masshole rapes a kid? "Naw, he's a Southie." When Brady retires, Gronk and Belichick will become Southies in short order.

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?

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.

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.

...wait. Proverbs 22? Did Carson read the rest of that one? Or did he just stop at verse 4. Proverbs 22 posted:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender. Maybe those weren't in the poverbs version.

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

Well, you could point out that health expenditures in the United States are currently at about $9,000 per capita. To Ben Carson's credit, forcing that number down to $2,000 per capita would indeed reduce overall health expenditures in this country... but not really in a way that would be tolerable to most people. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.XPD.PCAP Beyond that, I haven't looked into Carson's plan because he's a book salesman / joke candidate that thinks pyramids are granaries.

The article also ridicules it.

Missouri is absolutely a culturally southern state. Most midwesterners are more reserved and measured in their racism. White Missourians practically wear it on their sleeves.
