I paid literally no taxes during Reagan's terms as President. Every dollar I got for my birthday, street pennies, and other incidental childhood income went straight to my pocket. Other than allowing Mr. Hooper to die on Sesame Street (where was the security and who is this bird anyway) he was imho the perfect president.

If Ron is smarter than his son, which is probably the case, he'll just leave a bunch of his old speeches on the table and wait until they are plagiarized into his GOD GIVEN 10 uninterrupted minutes at the beginning and end of every upcoming Republican debate.

It's a good children's crayon drawing of a real watershed though, so to that point kudos. Yes, don't dump industrial waste into water that touches water that touches water that touches my mouth.

Wait, is that what he was essentially trying to say? I watched it on my phone I I honestly thought it was like a three second looped clip.
He has no idea about what he was trying to say and thus I have no goddamned clue. From context I'm sure he's "against it" but his retarded slippery slope argument is literally what happens when water flows down a slope of any slipperiness, I.e why water protection is extremely important.

The House and Senate should meet on different days. On off days the Senate babysits the House, and the House watches the Senators work, just in case they pick it up like a bird learning your real doll's name.

So basically every interesting race went the wrong way, but there is an upside. The right wing media and their inter-network tentacles panelists are already claiming this as the big win the Republicans needed. The momentum is strong, Obama sucks so much come on guys, and clearly 2016 is done and done.

The upside is loud echoes that will make the next year truly unbelievable in politics. Also I don't think anything that happened yesterday gives us any meaningful extrapolations for the general.

There were also indications that KY's Medicaid expansion might stick around. It was a campaign point that went from "burn the poo poo down" to later "not necessarily planning on going there". Unfortunately a lot of people will find out the hard way if it's gone when they need it and it shouldn't even be a question.

What happens in a race for a municipal position where no one is on he ballot and there's just a bunch of singular votes for write in candidates with no write-in having more votes than the others?
If there's not some restriction on minimum vote count or percentage, which there probably is, then that's why your neighbor is both the mayor and your neighbor.

What do these House committee chairmen all have in common?

Agriculture: Conway
Armed Services: Thornberry
Financial Services: Hensarling
Homeland Security: McCaul
Science: Smith
Rules: Sessions
Ways and Means: Brady

There are 21 permanent committees, so that's a third of the total. (There are four additional joint committees and one select committee.)
Let me guess - they have somehow negative understanding of the topics they purport to represent in such committees?

I can't wait for Jon Stewart on HBO. God I hope he's on the air by this election.

If it's any consolation for yesterday's election results, probably 60% of 2015 election voters will die from old age. The rest will die from pre-existing conditions covered by the Medicaid they just destroyed.

To look like a reformed thug. See, he could have been a naughty black but instead is just a quiet religious fundie. Wouldn't it be better if he could do that to all of them?

The Flute is what makes it.
Oh my god, this is loving beautiful. Ben Carson speaking over music is incredibly painful but also hard to turn off.

When he's talking it's less like human language and more like a smooth keyboard solo played by a deaf guy.

He's burning that sick flute loop if it's any consolation. Gotta be ready for the talent portion of the contest.

Gonna miss Lindsay Graham at the kids' table debate, but replacing him with Huckabee and Christie will certainly make it more entertaining.
It's insanely bad news that this seems like a downgrade. "Without Lindsay Graham there is no connection to actual humans" is seriously terrible. One 90 year old picked Jindal because it was the last word into their withered hippocampus.

Lindsay Graham would look like a bad option against a glad force-flex bag of beaver-poo poo, but he's still better than Jindal.

So I walked in a few minutes late to a Pub Quiz in Czech Republic last night and the question on the screen was (roughly) "Ben Carson is running for President of the United states. In addition to many other crazy things, he believes the Pyramids were built for what purpose? (Does not involve aliens)". I strolled right up to my group, grabbed the answer sheet and wrote down "grain storage".

Thanks to this thread we got first place by one point (out of 50).
