My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

Think of it the other way around. Assuming the DC Madam rumors are true I could see Ted being a big enough narcissist to pay to gently caress himself.

Yes. The internet discovered that a lady who was on a Jerry Springer knockoff looked distressingly like Ted Cruz except when she smiles, and she has agreed to xhamster's offer to provide them with a six minute porn video of her and her fiance.

(Note that xhamster is one of the companies that told North Carolina where to shove their bathroom bill - and unlike most of those companies, has professional experience with that sort of shoving :haw: )

unless they fixed it if you had someone on ignore and they became a mod they were still ignored. was strange because you could add more people to the list but you couldn't take anyone off until you removed the mod because if you tried to update the list with a mod still on it somewhere it would just error out and say you couldn't add a mod

If I were a betting man, I'd wager that this is because the ignore list completely rewrites itself every time you update it with the edit feature in your control panel.

Of the Maine delegates selected today only one is a Trump supporter. It's Governor Paul LePage. Also today from Paul LePage.

quote:

BANGOR, Maine — Maine's Republican governor says it's hard to understand workers "from Bulgaria" and workers from India are "the worst ones."

Gov. Paul LePage said Saturday that foreign workers are being used in restaurants after he criticized a referendum proposal to raise Maine's minimum wage to $12. He says he's disappointed his alternative proposal to hike the wage to $10 didn't get traction.

He described Indians as "lovely people but you've got to have an interpreter."

Because Trump supporters don't give a poo poo about policy

Pretty much. He's not going to "pivot" and become anti-second amendment and anti-tax cuts, and he's going to appoint SCOTUS justices who are picked out for him to make his promised public list (who will all be pro Bill of Rights/Second Amendment), and I don't give a poo poo about anything else.

He can pivot and run on mandatory gay marriages and socialized abortions and all unisex bathrooms for all I care.

I like Trump because I mostly only care about 2 issues and because he's a swing for the fences that could conceivably somehow win in spite of the Democrats' demographic/electoral advantage coming in. Anyone else WILL lose including Kasich who only polls well vs. Clinton because no one gives a drat about him and he has never gone through any national scrutiny since he's a joke candidate with zero chance to win the nomination.

To be honest for a minute, I really wouldn't even care if he abandoned the wall, as much as I like the idea. Republicans really are not racist for the most part, I only give a poo poo about rampant immigration because of Democrats potentially being able to import enough voters fast enough to alter our political culture and to control the presidency for a generation, long enough to completely change SCOTUS and completely destroy the Bill of Rights with 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 lock-step activists instead of 4 who will gleefully and with a straight face proclaim 2A actually means we don't have a right to keep and bear arms and the 14th amendment didn't incorporate it as to the states even though the guy who wrote it, and congressional supporters and opponents at the time of its adoption are all on the record in congress at the time pretty much agreeing that, YEP, 14th incorporates ALL of the Bill of Rights as to the states. Judicial activists HATE our Republican form of government and LOVE substituting their tyrannical authority for the rule of law so we get retarded poo poo like "selective incorporation"

you heartless bigot, i have a right to money just because i am alive and living in these united states. you have no right to the money you earn, it's for everyone so just suck it up and stop whining. borders are a patriarchal concept and everyone in the world has the right to come here, even if that means that citizens will be faced with lower and lower wages coupled with more and more taxes. why do you hate people who are different than you? have you heard of manifest destiny? we have it coming, so just stop complaining and don't you ever argue with me and wifes son ever again.

#NeverTrump turned out to be impotent, New York Values sunk Cruz in New York and most of the other states that vote on Tuesday, and we're waiting on Indiana to either take us to a brokered convention or put the final nail in that coffin. The one recent poll looks bad for Cruz.

Also, Cruz has some sort of evidence of a hitherto unknown and rampant practice of men dressing up like women and molesting children and is doing his level best to make it a campaign issue.

This is my favorite part because the metropolitan-area republicans who are gonna vote on Tuesday for the most part don't give a hot gently caress about bathrooms. At least that's how it usually goes in my experience.

Ya, should have added that. Cruz decided to make this an issue when the only states voting are in the Northeast. The strategy MIGHT be helpful in Indiana and maybe Pennsylvania depending on turnout. But then the polls come out and show him down in both and he decides to just hit the issue that much harder.

I can't wait until anti-Trump voters in Indiana, confused by Ted Cruz getting slaughtered and Kasich getting second in many states this Tuesday, yield something like Trump 40 Cruz 38 Kasich 22 in IN.

I'm with you. Ideally Cruz would just barely squeak by in the second vote at the convention. Then for the general election his abhorrent views are revealed to all, and he goes down in flames. I'm nearly 100% certain that Ted Cruz couldn't win the general.

But if Trump wins... I'd like to say that he would lose the general based on all the polls and demographics, but Trump's exceeded expectations so many times in this race that I see Cruz as the safer option.
