pathetic little tramp posted:gently caress this person and gently caress everything about him. This is my state, you corn-eating poo poo-for-brains. Thanks for wasting tax dollars to fly to my loving state to use the corpses of the dead as your little political statement. Go back to Nebraska and keep fighting for less regulation in the already-insanely unsafe and exploitative meatpacking industry you worthless waste of human garbage. His message is pretty good actually, for a Republican. I just think it would be weird to go lay some flowers at a memorial and see some guy making a video about how we're at war with radical Islam.

Yeah parts of it aren't bad, but I just know he's moderating it as a political ploy, he doesn't smell right at all. In lighter news, let's all go to the brand new https://www.jebbush.com It's gotten quite a facelift!

Any sales lost due to gun control measures a Democrat controlled Congress could pass would pale in comparison to the surge of sales gained from gun nuts convinced the sky is falling and they need more guns now now now.

Slate Action posted:Asked what prompted it, Mr. Trump said, “death" Oh my god I was positive you were kidding. Well, where can he go from here? The only more extreme positions to his right are mass roundup and deportation of all Muslims, or concentration camps. This is an official written statement too, mind you. This isn't some nonsense uttered by some half-soused rube at one of his rallies that he failed to dismiss strongly enough. The worst part of this is his supporters will not blanch at this statement. This is exactly what they want from him and he's giving it to them with both barrels.

foobardog posted:The pickings of prominent minority Republicans is pretty slim. Only 11% of black people lean or consider themselves Republican. I mean when Herman Cain, Allen West, and Ben Carson (and Alan Keyes before them) are your stable, you're hurting. On top of that, I gather that many respected black conservatives like Colin Powell and Condeleeza Rice are very much turned off by the current state of the party (especially Powell who was savaged for supporting Obama). Well I guess my point is does being a "celebrity" really give Stacy Dash value over random black woman who no one knew before Fox News but probably has better credentials to be on the air? Sure, the percentages are small but if Fox News made a concentrated effort to find a bunch of minorities to hire I'm sure they could. 11% of African Americans is still a few million people, isn't? There's gotta be a few who have more to say than Stacy Dash. Does "Hey, she was in Clueless!" really hold that much value? Is it just star loving to the point where any "star" will do?

Adar posted:American populists like Trump, Dean, Perot and every other name you can think of in the past few decades have huge blocks of voters until they lose something. As soon as they do the crowds move on to the next hotness. 2012 was just the cycle expressing itself faster than usual. Trump isn't the new hotness, he's the Mitt Romney. Fiorina, Carson, Cruz, they are the new hotness. Bip Roberts posted:Trump is going to cap out at 40% of republicans max which will look okay in the states like Iowa who vote 100% on personality with a field of 10 but will get him trashed with a field of 3 on Super Tuesday. If this was 2012, and Romney could consistently pull down 40% he'd have won the first three primaries, and become the Nominee the same way Romney did: With a plurality over a majority. Data.

I remember seeing a clip of Barkley talking about politics. He said he was talking with his mother and she started tearing into him for being a republican, ending it with "they only care about the rich!" To which he replied "Mom, I'M rich!"

Well now, Indiana, how will you jump on this? On one hand, Pence has made a lot of news (and regained polling ground) by demonizing Syrians specifically and Muslims generally. On the other hand, Rep Andre Carson is one of the only Muslims in congress. So what will we have? Rep Luke Messer, in an official statement 17 minutes ago: "Travel documents can be weapons of terror" Ok then.

Carson's statement manages to be somehow even more unsettling: Also quote:When asked by The Hill whether that would include Muslim-American citizens currently abroad, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks replied over email: "Mr. Trump says, 'everyone.'"

My guess is that yes. Remember, Fox News viewers are the type of people to consider Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty a sage commentator. Kirk Cameron makes plenty of hay supporting creationism. Kelsey Grammer and Dennis Miller are their stars. In fact, I'd bet to Conservatives, the less well-known the celebrity, the better, because the more likely they are not godless California liberals preaching drug use and sexuality like the rest of Hollyweird.

It must have been Sasse, the other NE senator is a horrible lady rather than a horrible man. And yes, gently caress Ben Sasse and gently caress the hickass voters of this shitpile state for choosing him. He's going to be the next Ted Cruz, mark these words.

She's not there to draw black viewership, she's there so people who watch Fox News can tell themselves they aren't racist as they mock layouts to Muslim concentration camps Fried Chicken posted:Well now, Indiana, how will you jump on this?

On the other hand, Rep Andre Carson is one of the only Muslims in congress. So what will we have? Honestly? Our guys are Walker evil...evil and lovely to the core but still too dumb to play with the big dogs. Pence can't make Indiana go full-Kansas without pissing off a lot of huge businessmen who are on "barge into your office and scream at you" terms with him, and his most recent anti-gay bill is largely damage control thanks to suburbs giving him the finger and passing local ordinances protecting LGBT rights, so it earns him no brownie points.

computer parts posted:China does it in theory (they say you have to register with the local police for whatever city you're in) but in practice no one cares. You also have to tell them where you're staying for the whole trip. Hostels have a deal where you don't have to pay the full amount until you check in, so you get reservations at a hostel in Beijing or something for your whole trip and just never show up. It costs like $5. It's very China.
