Riptor posted:Yeah, exactly. We cannot allow people to entertain the notion of Cruz being eligible for the Presidency, particularly after he and his ilk have not shut up about how the exact same criteria supposedly precludes the actual President from holding the position, despite that being a complete fabrication You're right, we should definitely become birthers ourselves. This is a good, reasonable idea.

ComradeCosmobot posted:Rubin isn't the only one who's made this claim this year. But how seriously can you take a "liberal democrat" on Fox News? While it's been Fox Newsified to a legitimately horrible level, Bush did do a lot to help out Africa during his presidency. It's literally his only real redeeming factor.

Dr.Zeppelin posted:Since he's been governor, the most noteworthy things I can think of that have happened were that the sales tax was raised from 5% to 6%, a stormwater tax was enacted to pay for mitigating the damage that storm runoff causes to the bay, and the gas tax was raised to pay for the DC/Baltimore commuter rail line to run on the weekends. Internet commenters love to howl about the stormwater tax ("rain tax") and about the fact that MD has relatively strict gun control laws. I don't know how much of the gun stuff was his doing though, if any. I'm sure there's been a bunch of other stuff I'm not remembering, he's been pretty progressive overall so it pisses off a lot of the right people. You could probably do a whole offshoot of the Freep thread about things that people say on Post/Sun comments about him/Baltimore City/PG County. Wasn't he the one who debated Rick Perry on CNN as well?

AYC posted:I just remembered the absolutely insane number of primary debates in the 2012 election. It was almost like the GOP assumed they would beat Obama in November, and the primary debates were the true contest. No, the RNC cracking down on all primary debates, and basically won't have any that aren't hosted by Newt Gingrich(I hope).

Skwirl posted:I work in a restaurant, and it really weirds me out when customers say grace before eating. Like it's one thing when you're at home, but in a restaurant it seems excessive (they also are more likely than average to be a lovely tipper). C'mon man, of all the things on that quote, you're going to attack someone for saying grace before eating?

Dystram posted:The "ARE FACTORIES" stuff might seem silly to you guys if you're not from a town that was built up around manufacturing and then had the rug pulled out from under it in the early 90s and early 2000s. Hell, my family would've been supremely hosed if GM had gone under. Yeah. I grew up in Pontiac, which was thoroughly gutted by the departure of factories, moreso than even Detroit. It might sound odd but it's a serious issue to the subset of the population it destroyed.

Swan Oat posted:I dunno what it's like where y'all live but in Houston taxi drivers are legally forbidden from refusing fares and the rates have to be the same at all times. Also, and this is what is actually important, taxi drivers have to carry commercial insurance but Uber drivers do not. That is actually hosed up and bad. I hope future president Joe Biden nationalizes taxi transport and bans Uber. I know you're joking but people who want to get rid of Uber are hosed, it's a genuinely great market innovation, the kind of thing even Social Democracies should encourage.
