Had me as far as getting wrist control of the shooting hand (although jumping in front of the shooter to do it is :lol:) but why does she then immediately let it go and start throwing spaz punches?


Pretty sure those two guys closest to the camera are texting, too.

I think it's amazing how quickly we forgot about Virgina Tech. Much more deadly than San Bernardino, though possibly less emotional impact than the Sandy Hook shootings.

And it was done without AR15s and 30-round magazines.

Happens in political races like this. Exploration, discovery, then they get popular or fade away. Fiorina just isn't a very good campaigner. Didn't take advantage of her discovery moment.

Her status was inflated by the media from the kids table debate, but yeah after she was a "thing" everyone remembered they've had an rear end in a top hat boss and her support eroded faster than Jeb! makes bad decisions.

Definitely happened: Ben Carson became the new media shiny object.

Probably also happened: her funding disappeared. Her campaign was actually receiving donations early on from other primary campaigns who wanted a woman on the stage to attack Hillary. I'm betting they got spooked when she surged and stopped the cashflow.

Has there been any talk about if it would even be legal for Ted Cruz to be elected president? I'm pretty sure he was born in Canada but is a US citizen because his mom was one.

Look, he had his son sign the Offspring End Use License Agreement. It specifically states in very clear terms, "emotional support and upkeep are the responsibility of the Offspring". He holds no culpability what-so-ever.

It does make me wonder though and feel a little bad for people who think AWBs are the key to end mass shootings. Pretending for a moment there wouldn't be millions of clips and rifles in circulation still, imagine the growing horror as it keeps going since word's already out that that's how you get famous.

Despite the crazed insistence of the birthers, all "natural born citizen" means is being born a citizen rather than naturalized later in life. I mean, well, the supreme court has never considered the issue, and I honestly don't think they ever would. They'd defer to the political process if it ever came up. No way a democratically elected president gets declared ineligible unless they're glaringly not even a citizen or something.

Hey so is Trump's campaign going down in flames yet because he said he wanted the power to ban the Internet and literally all Muslims yet, or is America truly beyond saving?

Just wondering because, see, I've got this fallout shelter sitting in my backyard gathering dust and I was wondering whether or not I should break in the old girl for another spin.

Walker, Fiorina, Jeb!, and Carson have all followed the 2012 election style of gaining interest, peaking, and crashing.

Also note how long Trump has been leading.:unsmigghh:

As others have said, it's not happened yet, but it'd most definitely be OK for Ted Cruz, which really makes the whole birther movement even more stupid, because it would apply even if Obama was born in Kenya, since his mother was American for sure, and thus so is B-Rock the Islamic Shock.

It was wondered about for McCain, who was born in the Panama Canal Zone, and Goldwater, who was born in Arizona before it became a state, but most who looked into it concluded that it must mean that if you had citizenship at birth, you count.
