stinkles1112 posted:Gun owners are a "tribe" much the same way that people who drive Buicks are a "tribe" Statistically, this is true - gun owners are more likely to be white, more likely to be male, and more likely to be conservative than the population as a whole. If you replace "tribe" with "market or demographic segment", you're not wrong.

What is that YouTube channel of the US coalition fighting ISIS again? I want to link it with this CNN poll about 53% favoring ground troops against ISIS

Remember, it is anti-Ameircan to judge someone on their voluntary activities and associations, the only American way to judge is race/class/sex!

Dan Malloy of Connecticut was just elected the new chair of the Democratic Governors Association. He is really feisty so this will be interesting

I think I read recently (maybe in this thread) that Cruz's Iowa numbers are so high because that's the only place he's spent any money. It's a strategy to artificially extend his loss, rather than a strategy to secure a win.

Well, yeah, but losing Iowa would be a major blow for Trump and it's also obviously a story for Trump not winning.

A guy on reddit, newly free of an NDA with the bookseller's company, is claiming that Mitt Romney was utterly convinced the President's trip to Utah earlier this year was a multimillion dollar elaborate smokescreen to crash a booksigning that Ann was holding on the same day, to the point of increasing security and demanding that the President not be allowed into the building. Let's play the "how much of this is bullshit" game!

Every time I see Ann Romney's name in print, it involves her ever increasing sense of self importance.

Requiring a specific, credible threat before alarming the public is too much work! We need something to remind us that there are non-specific, non-credible threats all around us.quote:Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson says he will soon announce a new national alert system aimed at better informing the public given the "new phase" of the global terrorist threat the U.S. is facing.

Conceptually it sounds like "Here's the things we're aware of and investigating, not just the things we're certain about," which sounds to me like an excellent way to warn anyone actually planning anything to pack up shop, so surely it can't be that.

What a farce according to wiki, no "The threat level was never lowered to Low (Green) or Guarded (Blue) (page 12)." e: lol the final page has examples of what each level could look like and doesn't even include blue or green. there were literally no criteria to meet.

Here's a good article about how volatile the Iowa caucus voters are, even up until the day of. So bookmark this the next time an Iowa poll convinces you that Carson is gonna be president.
