one of the weirdest things that came out of that was how macaca/macaque was a relatively specialized racial insult, mostly you'd see it on spanish youtube highlights of black soccer players, but another area it was used was by the french colons of north africa and by gosh wouldnyaknowit george allen's mom grew up as a french colonist in tunisia

It's a shame about the pyramids full of grain thing.

Donald Trump posted:I wrote the Art of the Deal. Right? We need the Art of the Deal. We need the Art. They never read it in this administration. They’re clueless. Obama is a disaster. I see him all the time doing bad deals. We give state dinners to the heads of China. I said, “Why are you doing state dinners for them? They’re ripping us left and right. Just take them to McDonalds and go back to the negotiating table.” Seriously. It’s true. But you know what irks me? Look, having nuclear. My uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer. Dr. John Trump at MIT. Good genes. Very good genes, okay? The Wharton School of Finance. Very good. Very smart. But just think of it. I see Obama and these terrible, terrible deals and I'm like “Does he read the papers? Does he watch television?” Every television. Whether it’s Fox or CNN or MS – any of them. They all report how bad a job he does. Maybe he doesn't care? Honestly I think he's just stupid. People, we need the art of the deal, we need killers. It's so simple. what part of your good genes led to your brother meeting a tragically young death from alcoholism, a genetically-linked disease?

The Guardian reviews Xcom 2quote:On my first campaign run, in this time for heroes, I decided to try and take back the Earth with current US presidential candidates. Surely Trump and Sanders would set aside petty squabbles for the good of humanity? The highlight of this short-lived team was the death of Hillary Clinton and severe wounding of Donald Trump during a mission, simply because for some reason Ted Cruz stopped panicking and turned into Rambo. Faced with near-certain defeat Cruz proceeded to absolutely shred through the alien forces with multiple crits and returned to base as the soldier who dealt most damage, made more attacks (the end-of-mission stats are lovely) and brought home the loot. A good day for fruitcakes.

I think my biggest question is: With all the fervor towards himself and animosity towards the other opponents, are Trump supporters willing to support another "establishment" candidate? If Trump can pull in 25% regularly in these contest, even half refusing to support another candidate would be a disaster for the general.

Found out my grandma gets called by pollsters all the time because she has had the same landline number for decades. She just hangs up. I asked her if she could yell TRUMP first but she said no. Can't wait for the debate tonight though, going to be insane.

SirKibbles posted:They'll hold their nose. Just like D's will hold their nose if their preferred candidate doesn't win. Worry not though the whining will be legendary But the D race has been quite civil especially when compared with the R race. The R race has had questions of eligibility brought up. Trump is not playing the nice "this person is a bad politician" card. He has been playing the "this person sucks hard" card which has made his support more rabid and opposing of everyone else (see the Freep and /pol civil wars).

I'd feel bad for Fiorina being snubbed in the debate, if not for the fact she's an unlikeable lunatic whose demonic countenance makes me want to vomit. And now she's whining on CNN about it...

I think the main issue with those polls is that Rubio is likely to beat out the other establishment candidates. That could be the beginning of the end for Trump.
