i'm almost positive there's a trump chapter in the rick reilly caddy book

That Huckabee screen grab looks like he's been using a tanning bed.

It looks more like he's doing a poo on a tanning bed.

yeah the trump chapter in reilly's book is hilarious, you can preview some pages here (starting at page 57):

“looks odd”“not good”

bringing a vote to the floor = making a move

like what else do you think the Speaker of the House does

Okay, some of these are pretty good:

dunno if the hilarity of this translates for americans - but maybe. it just looks so right.

two GOP freakshows last night, neither liveblogged on this thread? were you all in the ER?

did all the liveblogging last night and all I got was contact lens freeze

Was busy mulling over with my team whether or not I should also run for president. We did some informal polling and came up with "maybe." Gotta make a billion dollars first, but I have a few strong leads. Give you a hint: I'm putting a lot of money into Mexican wall bricks.

i was cleaning my butthole

These freakshows are pretty boring by now tbh. I didn't watch.

Xp

w/out Trump they look like mere deranged sadists

All these candidates are like

i don't follow things too closely and today on the radio was the first time in forever that i heard rick santorum's name and i had forgotten that he was even a part of this thing! poor fella...

I've had the same realization about Huckabee, Paul, Carson and Fiorina in the past few days

NEWS: Cruz shifting negative ads from Trump to RUBIO entirely for final 3 days to halt Marco 'mo, deny him "win" >

"'mo"? What?

Marcomentum!

Rubio had the charisma of a pepper mill.

I heard Rubio declare that President Obama had 'systematically destroyed everything that made this country great'. I would have appreciated more details, especially regarding the greatness of the USA under George W. Bush.

i do kinda like watching the mirror image of trump and bizarro-trump sanders. both fueled by indignation. so hard to keep that up for an entire race. people have the energy for it early on and then it's like eating too many hateburgers. indignation turns into indigestion. clinton needs to ignore it all. keep talking like a monument. bill clinton as first lady...whoduh thunk it!? he's gonna be roaming the country on a goodwill feelgood mission! lock up yer daughters, amerikkka!

Rubio also talked shit about George W. Bush ftr

anyone made a "Marco? Poll 'mo" pun yet? well i just did

xpost When Elvis Costello reunited with the Attractions back in 1994, he called it the "Lock Up Your Mothers" tour.

yeah i don't care how bad u think obama was (and i think history will bear out that he was a great POTUS) GWB presided over the greatest terrorist attack on American soil in history, the Great Recession, and at least one catastrophic + useless war.

(preaching to the choir i know)

My daughter asked me the other day about various presidents, and whether they were good or bad. Nixon, it was sort of hard (thinking retrospectively) to convey that he was a psycho criminal kicked out of office who nonetheless achieved some great, lasting things. But when I got to GWB, I started listing all the shitty, shitty, destructive things he did or oversaw, with lasting ill effects, and it still blows me away.

Rumsfeld/Cheney, Heckuva Job Brown, Iraq, Katrina, 9/11, the Supreme Court, Harriet Myers, Karl Rove, lowering taxes on rich ... just goes on and on.

reagan too! as far as the shitty lasting effects go...

and they both just went on forever. reagan and bush. doom city.

Reagan really got the ball rolling. But he wasn't as bull in a china shop as Bush. Like, Regan fucked things up, but intentionally. Bush it was a cross between delegating to hit men and incompetence.

funniest conversation I overheard in a bookstore:

Little boy: We should buy this book about Ronald Reagan for mom.
Father: I don't think so. Your mom doesn't like Ronald Reagan.
Little boy: Why? My teacher said he was a best president.
Father: No! What are they teaching you? He was the worst president.

reagan and bush eras also the only times i can remember people here actually thinking they were going to die! like the sky was going to rain fire on us. i don't remember nixon that well though....

xp LOL

Well, he got kicked out of office at least. Reagan and Bush did worse, and even more illegal stuff, and got two terms!

I mean, gah, Bush getting in on a Supreme Court decision! It's just mind-blowing how bad it all was, from minute one!

it really was the worst of all worst-case scenarios. all of bush. every ounce of bush.

2000 election was stolen fair & square. blame Gore.

Bill Clinton worse than Reagan in many respects

Obama as bad as W in many respects, worse in a couple

recent new yorker profile on kerry had some quotes about how he will never get over the idea that there were voting irregularities in ohio

For a long period, after 2004, every time he even half fell asleep all he saw was voting machines in the state of Ohio,” Mike Barnicle, a close friend of Kerry’s and a former columnist for the Boston Globe, told me. This summer, Barnicle spent time with Kerry on Nantucket, where Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz, have a house on the water and a seventy-six-foot, seven-million-dollar sailboat called Isabel. “We were sitting in the bow,” Barnicle recalled, “and we were talking about a bunch of different things—about Iran, about what the President of Iran was like—and I said, ‘Other than not being President, this is pretty good.’ There was a security boat sailing off to the side of us. Then he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, I realize how badly Shrum screwed me.’ ”

boy there is a lot of pent-up anger in this election

When not organizing for Sanders, Rhodes is a Web developer and the founder of NoFap, which he described as an online community dedicated to helping people recover from addiction to pornography. He said he was inspired to create the site based on his own experiences.

ironically enough a "win" for rubio in iowa is third place

Little boy: We should buy this book about Ronald Reagan for mom.
Father: I don't think so. Your mom doesn't like Ronald Reagan.
Little boy: Why? My teacher said he was a best president.
Father: No! What are they teaching you? He was the worst president.

My son is at an age where political viewpoints are starting to filter into his Social Studies classes more strongly. It is starting to sink in what exactly that means for a student in Texas public schools, and I'm very worried.
