I genuinely don't think rand is ready for the national spotlight in any way, shape or form and believe this is gonna be a goofier shitshow than Ron's campaigns ever were

according to everybody I've ever known who visited his practice, the man literally does not know how to interact with other human beings in even the most perfunctory manner. I can't wait for him to have to stump through the gymnasiums of Iowa and New Hampshire, making small-talk with salt-of-the-earth corn farmers and disgruntled syrup merchants

He got a good reception at Cal when he railed against the NSA and drone strikes, but I bet he'd have been run out of town had he said "by the way I stand by my remarks on how the Civil Rights Act went too far, also gently caress the Disability Act because it's unfair to businesses"

Oh goodie, my local CBS station, I'll have to break out the :munch: for this one. Wait though, when would this be on, I suppose during the day when I am at work? It said probably weekday, so is it just going to run instead of the Price is Right or some soap opera? Because that seems like it would piss off a bunch of daytime television watchers more than anything else.

I'm playing a little catchup but someone posted a Ted Cruz oriented Facebook thread a few pages back that included this image:



The layers of irony and misunderstanding were so thick and astounding that I immediately went looking for it and the top search result was this:

http://tribuneherald.net/2013/08/23/kkk-wins-lawsuit-against-bakery-for-discrimination/

quote:

KKK wins lawsuit against bakery for discrimination

A Georgia court has ruled in favor of Marshall Saxby, the Grand Wizard of a local KKK chapter, in a lawsuit stemming from two years ago when a local bakery denied him service.

The three judge panel concluded unanimously that the bakery had violated civil rights laws by discriminating against Saxby when they refused to sell him a cake for his organization’s annual birthday party.

Elaine Bailey, who owns Bailey Bakeries, refused to bake a cake for the ceremony because it violated her religious beliefs.

Saxby filed the lawsuit claiming that Bailey’s refusal of service was discriminatory against his religious beliefs.

Hillary's not-a-campaign has signed a lease for offices in Brooklyn. The only reason why anyone should care about this "news" is that it counts as campaign activity under the rules, which means they need to file with the FEC within the next 15 days.

It would be amazing if she did a surprise announcement at the same time as Rand or Marco's scheduled events.

Could it have been a PAC or something that signed the lease, so she doesn't have to announce yet?
