Look man, I just want all Republicans to blunder into an obvious trap and be slaughtered in multi-hour orgy of blood and death that's remembered as one of the most crushing defeats of all history. Is that so wrong.

Cannae got the Romans unfuck their poo poo and go on to scrape Carthage from the face of the earth.



Carrhae saw the dissolution of the triumvirate and the fall of the roman republic. I mean both are multi-hour orgies of blood but when you compare the fundamentals, Carrhae is the better analogy, right down to the amoral rich guy (Crassus was actually rich as hell though) getting clowned on in general and in detail, followed by the tense alliance between the remaining parts of his political gang shattering and literally throwing themselves at each other in a civil war.

Jon deserves his life time vacation, 16+ years of craziness does things to your soul. Especially when the chances of the 9/11 responder healthcare bill getting gutted is still a thing as long as Regressives still exist.

Donald Trump to not be the Republican Presidential Candidate on 8 November 2016 @ 8.00


I like those odds.

It depends on the exact wording of the wager, but I don't think it'll pay out even if Trump suspends his campaign and quits tonight. He's going to be on the ballot no matter what, so it depends on what the wager means when it determines who is the Republican candidate.

It makes perfect sense now. Donald Trump isn't a real politician, so traditional journalism couldn't get anything to stick on him. We needed Access Hollywood to bring down the reality star running for president. It's so obvious!

Oh god and I keep forgetting that the next debate is a town hall moderated by Anderson Cooper. Trump is 2 days away from having to take questions from the audience, with this crashing down around his ears, while being moderated by Anderson Cooper. This could be historic.

I would like to think Anderson Cooper is a good enough journalist and moderator to be unbiased. I mean, I want Trump to get loving destroyed, but don't give him ammo by making the moderator obviously against him.
