Scarborough says that, months ago, Trump asked three times during a security briefing about nuclear weapons. One of the asks was "if we have them, why can't we use them?"

The panel is stunned into silence by this

I love how Trump has turned the usual "VP = attack dog" conventional wisdom upside-down. Every quote I see from Pence these days is covering for his running mate.

I don't know what the opposite of "attack dog" is, but Mike Pence is it.

Now just have to find someone else to pay for it...

Is that demographics plus supplied questions? I can't figure out how to do demos in less than 4-5 questions:

Oh but shitposter Reason isn't the only one concern trolling Minnesota:

quote:

Trump is referring to the terrible scourge of unemployment in the Twin Cities, where, as of June, the unemployment rate was all of 3.7 percent, second lowest among American metropolitan areas. Statewide, the jobless rate is 3.8 percent, tied for the eighth-best in the country.

As for the "tremendous problems" for our safety net, let's compare Minnesota to Maine, where Trump was speaking. Maine, with 1.3 million people, has about one-fourth of Minnesota's population (roughly 5.4 million[...]) Maine finished its budget year with a $93 million surplus. Minnesota entered the 2016 legislative session with a $900 million surplus. Four times the population, ten times the leftover money. A tremendous problem.

A yoouge problem. Simply the greatest problem, believe me!

When you look at the public health lit, its a pretty difficult issue. Like how the sudden availability of birth control was causative of the STD epidemics of the '50s and '60s: people are stupid, and when they think they're safe, they don't practice safe sex. Funding for more sex education will not lower the rate of Zika transmission. We just gotta face it: the south done gonna have to make abortion more widespread, or pay for the welfare babies.

If it means we can unite and once and for all destroy the foreign menace that is the mosquito, then bring on the zika.

Wisconsin absolutely will flip. Ron Johnson has accomplished less than nothing in his time as Senator, and as far as the state is concerned Feingold has a Senate job for life. (Unless he runs in 2020.)

Don't be fooled by what happened with Walker: the state Democratic party sent multiple uninspiring candidates at him. Mary Burke is a good person but not cut out for politics. Feingold vs Johnson is an entirely different beast than Walker vs Barrett.

Feingold clowning on Walker would be soooo great.

Re: arguing with Kalman: From trying to argue with them (singular) about software patents I've found that they will argue from the position of what's legal now, not what ought to be and generally won't consider ways to change the law. I think that's because, as a lawyer, they believe there's a way to get around just about any regulation you put in the way.

So I think Kalman knows How poo poo Works, but trying to convince them it ought to be otherwise is like trying to convince fishmech he's wrong.
