And this month in "Great Job, Alabama:"

Alabama Closes Driver's License Offices in Blackest Counties

This is a state where a photo ID is required to vote. So when are we just going to break the state apart and have the neighboring states absorb it?

someone posted about it up-page a little, but yes it's really atrocious

The idea behind "loud pipes save lives" is literally that the louder exhaust noise will alert people to the presence of the motorcycle. You're making the same argument in regards to firearms. What's more, you're saying that something should be illegal just to spite the people who oppose you.

guns and motorcycles are not analogous in terms of purpose, level of hazard, or the reason you want people to be able to hear them

please don't instigate gun chat in this thread

Yeah, no. Do you really think Bernie is so repulsive to the party that handily won 08 and 12 that they'll just "No thanks, Ill stay home let that Trump fellow steer the ol' ship of state for a bit."

Nah mang. Whomever gets the Democratic nomination is going to be our President. Barring some sort of Dead Girl/Live Boy situation with either Obama or the nominee.

he thinks that because he believes the socialist tag will be too much for bernie to overcome in the general, not because the DNC won't support him

There isn't one.

I also read something today that Bernie received a donation from a pharma head in exchange for a meeting with him, and he donated the money to a hospital instead and still refused to meet with the pharma people.

that part is apparently true though. http://www.salon.com/2015/10/16/bernie_sanders_smacks_down_martin_shkreli_rejects_meeting_and_donation_from_hated_drug_ceo/

Ben Carson on This Week this morning is pretty fantastic.

He is literally exercising doublethink live on air in terms of Iraq, Afghanistan, and terrorism.

Here's the guardian's article on that. I haven't seen it but it sounds like he looked pretty bad

I just want to say that I always read the title of this thread as "it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times" even though it's not really that close to that line.

I think the tea party thing is just because they've gone even further right
