Weren't there all sorts of anecdotes about people who got a health plan with Kynect or whatever and then were worried he might get rid of that after he like....promised to get rid of it?

Voter turnout was abysmal. Like I said maybe next time people will get off their couches and vote since (shocker) elections matter.

They don't have Obamacare, they have Kynect! He wouldn't cut that, he's cutting Obamacare.

Mr Hootington posted:I know this isn't the media thread but, is there anyway we could start adding good news sources to stay caught up with politics and US bullshit in the OP? I'm thinking just having a list like the Atlantic, the New Yorker, the WSJ, the NYT, National Review (gives a good look into conservatism), or other actual "good" news sources. We could add things like media matters, politifact, 503, zero hedge, or any of the other alternative news sources or new media. Al Jazeera can be pretty good. Better now that they stopped the bullshit redirect to Al Jazeera America or whatever the hell that waste of internet is.

The Carson wave has come and gone, it looks like the Cruz wave is next. Definitely shows Trump as the default choice in most districts.

Seconding the need for good media sources to consume. I have two questions, both regarding Obama: 1) There are some who claimed that "the Obamas had no personal controversy", which I took to mean that in the family of Obama there's no 'sketchy' stuff like love affairs or driving without license or accidental weed consumption or full-blown socialist rituals or something. And that this personal cleanliness kind of annoys people who wanted delicious gossip on Obama. This isn't special to the Obamas, though, right? Was there any family controversy during GWB's presidency? 2) Will we get more Obama zingers in 2016 now that apparently he stopped giving a gently caress?

toanoradian posted:Seconding the need for good media sources to consume. The Bush twins come to mind. It was reported that they drank and partied like your typical college aged girls. I don't really care about it but there was some stink about it, so if that fits your definition of personal controversies, that's one. Then there's Laura Bush killing a man by accident while driving. It comes up every once in a while but I don't think there wasn't anything technically criminal about it. So that was that. And W Bush with his drinking. But Jesus forgave him for that so we're cool.

By the time he's up for reelection KY will have firmly hosed the poor and minority population enough to make it irrelevant since they'll be (more) disenfranchised and unable to vote even if they'd want to. Like if a GOP-held state just up and doesn't run polling places in heavily

Don't be depressed about 2016 you buncha sad sacks! Movement conservatism is destroying itself and it would take a major black swan event, like a terrorist attack or economic collapse, or maybe Comey recommending indictment against Hillary and throwing the Democratic primary into chaos but that's not even so bad because we have DWS to handle the fallout

So when Trump wins the election, is there going to be a new calendar and months like in the French Revolution? Sure it'll only be relevant for the short period before Earth's entire atmosphere ignites under nuclear hellfire, but it might be funny.

Grouchio posted:You guys are all sounding like Trump is going to beat Clinton/Sanders in November. In a world where Trump gets the nomination, it's basically impossible to say what the general election will be like with any sort of certainty - we'll have just had to toss out half of our understanding of political science and US elections which was invalidated by the Trump primary win.

During the celebrations, onlookers were surprised to catch a brief glimpse of the man himself, surrounded by his elite team of Trump Troopers. Ever since the great guacamole throwing incident at a press conference in TYOOT 8, Mr. Trump has rarely been seen in public.

Shouldn't he be surrounded by Storm Trumpers? Also, can anyone catch me up on anything significant that happened in the last hundred pages of Dec? I tried my best to read it all, then suddenly I'm working 40 hours a week and can knock out like 5 pages every two days in commute.
