Comments

[Brochettaward]

I don't like the new front page format. I feel violated.

[Microaggressor]

Personally, I like it when the Reason staff abuses me.

[american socialist]

Who will take home the brass ring? Crazy Jeebus nutcase or asshole narcissist? Tune in at 6 to find out!

[Brochettaward]

I hope you die of a really awful and slow disease. That said, I have no issue with this particular comment.

[american socialist]

Geesch. I'm a libertarian so I want to understand my opponent's opinions and to treat them with empathy. What political philosophy do you ascribe to?

[paranoid android]

It's possible people treat you that way *because* they understand your opinions.

[Hyperion]

Oh how nice, another libertarian who's a statist. We already have one of those, thank you. Or is that you, butthead?

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

Are you one of those libertarian-communists?

[Hyperion]

I like your new handle, +1 derp to slay.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

[Suthenboy]

american socialist - "I am a libertarian..."

A troll and a comedian all rolled into one.

[Animal]

"Geesch. I'm a libertarian"

***Spits beer all over the monitor***

If you're a libertarian, I'm the Queen of Norway.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

I'm betting on Clinton, the asshole narcissist.

[lap83]

Please, strong empowered asshole narcissist

[american socialist]

Nah... According to crazy people who hate her because they aren't getting enough fiber, she's more of a calculating bitch. I have no such animus since I eat my Wheaties and therefore have regular bowel movements.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

So the key to liking Hillary Clinton is regular bowel movements.... interesting...

[brady949]

I think there is a lot of overlap between her supporters and the target audience for that poop yogurt Jamie Lee Curtis sells on TV.

[lap83]

I loled

[american socialist]

What I do when I want to like Clinton more is compare and contrast her with any of the Republican candidates running alongside her, consider the inchoate hatred of right-wingers towards her, or look online for any of the cavalier misogyny directed her way by conservatives.

It's not that she or her husband are that great, but outside of a comparison with Barack Obama-- who I think has been an astoundingly good president-- she's begins to look ok. I'm not planning on voting for her, but I'm not obsessed with a lunatic hatred of her, so in November 2016 I'll take a look at the situation and the right-wing zeitgeist and maybe reconsider.

"What I do when I want to like Clinton more is compare and contrast her with any of the Republican candidates running alongside her, consider the inchoate hatred of right-wingers towards her, or look online for any of the cavalier misogyny directed her way by conservatives."

And the fact that she's a criminal just makes it better for a lefty.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

'who I think has been an astoundingly good president-'

/chokes on black cherry jam.

[Krabappel]

The only reason I ever feel an ounce of like towards the Republicans is when I see the inchoate hatred of retarded progressives towards them. I still don't vote for them but that's because I'm not a retarded hack like you.

[Heroic Mulatto]

" I ... have regular bowel movements," said american socialist.

[Hyperion]

The problem is that it's mostly brain matter being eliminated, and there wasn't any to spare to start with.

[Suthenboy]

*Hands 'best links' trophy to HM*

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

I believe you misquoted him...

"I am a regular bowel movement!"

[GILMORE?]

No one denies it is his strongest quality. He shits everywhere, constantly, unendingly

[american socialist]

I know. I hate warmongers, drug warriors, gay bashers, and right-wing culture warriors-- but the real problem is that I think rich people should pay more in taxes. This makes me incorrigible, I understand that, ok?

I want to be more like you and publish my cooking recipes and how to make a really good margarita on a site that used to be about limiting government, but has lately become a haven for smug asshole conservatives. Can you share with me the name of your cookbook? I just want to belong, ok?

[GILMORE?]

See?

he's got to be the dullest person who ever showed up here. Buttplug is at least terse.

[american socialist]

I know. Two paragraphs are rough. G., which failed CEO, bankrupt real estate developer, or career politician are you voting for? Just tell me and I'll do what you do? Do you have a pic? I'm going to blow it up to 6'x3' and put it on my office door for inspiration.

"...but the real problem is that I think rich people should pay more in taxes. This makes me incorrigible,"

No, it just shows the depths of your stupidity.

[Vulgar Madman]

Amsoc, I hate assholes who brag about not paying their mortgage. Fuck you.

[Animal]

Unfortunately most of your bowel movements take the form of comments.

[sasob]

According to crazy people who hate her because they aren't getting enough fiber, she's more of a calculating bitch.

If there is anyone who is not getting enough dietary fiber, it would be control freak Hillary.

[LynchPin1477]

Is that ENB's apartment that Suderman is in? Two thoughts

1) Nice work Suderman
2) Reason doesn't seem to pay as well as I would have thought

[Troy muy grande boner]

No kidding @ #2. I would think that Reason would pay it staff enough they wouldn't have to buy their cutlery at Wal-Mart.

[Brochettaward]

Advocating free minds and free markets doesn't attract much of an audience, as Rand Paul's poll numbers indicate.

[Elizabeth Nolan Brown]

Suderman & McArdle's place.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Great, you just lit the John signal.

[Pan Zagloba]

Forget the debate, can we have a review of the kitchen gadgets collection?

[Peter Suderman]

http://www.bloombergview.com/a.....en-edition

Megan writes a massive kitchen-item guide every year, based mostly on stuff we have.

[LynchPin1477]

I did not know you were married to her.

[sasob]

Nice looking roll around work table.

[Peter Suderman]

make bacon-infused bourbon (a couple oz of bourbon grease in a 24 oz bottle of bourbon for a day, then put it in the freezer overnight, scoop out the extra fat, then strain out the last couple bits using cheesecloth)
I like using Evan Williams, because the slight harshness mixes well with the smoky thickness of the bacon fat. Something like Bulleit is too candy-ish.

in a cocktail shaker full of ice, mix
-1/2 oz grade b maple syrup
-just shy of 2 oz of bacon-bourbon
-2 shakes of Angostura bitters, 1 shake of Peychaud's bitters

stir, but don't shake, then strain it into a glass over ice.

Megan wrote about our semi-temporary kitchen renovation here: http://www.theatlantic.com/bus.....on/252741/

[R C Dean]

Thank you, sir.

[Crusty Juggler]

Agreed, thank you Peter.

I am going to celebrate by having a glass of Bulleit later tonight.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

Blech, who keeps bourbon grease in their kitchen?

[Crusty Juggler]

Cosmotarians, that's who.

[Peter Suderman]

sorry, bacon grease! ideally a good, thick applewood smoked bacon or something like that

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

So..... liquid smoke?

[Suthenboy]

*facepalm*

You diluted your bourbon?

[LynchPin1477]

I like a good bourbon cocktail, but the one above sounds too sweet for my taste.

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

Okay, Suderman. I'm reassessing you has a human being now that I know you drink bacon-infused bourbon. Start smoking filterless Pall Mall and you'll get yourself a devoted stalker.

[GILMORE?]

"Reason doesn't seem to pay as well as I would have thought"

PAY?!? PAY?? Are you telling me they give these people *money*?

[R C Dean]

Reason Tweets the GOP Debates. Now!

I think you mis-spelled "No!"

[R C Dean]

Pete, my man!

Post the recipe for those bacon bourbon cocktails, por favor.

[Elizabeth Nolan Brown]

B/c Peter is busty intently tweeting about something: bacon-infused bourbon, 1/2 an ounce of maple syrup, two types of mysterious bitters

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

B/c Peter is busty intently tweeting about something:

Is that what the young people call it these days? Has consent been reached all around at the Suderman campus?

[Elizabeth Nolan Brown]

*busy!

[Heroic Mulatto]

two types of mysterious bitters

*facepalm*

Really, Elizabeth?

Really?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I could sure go for some of those nachos.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Then wash it down with some ice cream.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

That's how jihad is born.

[Heroic Mulatto]

It's a little known fact that Saleel al-Sawarim translates as "Give Me My Fucking Ice Cream!". As usual, we've neglected to understand the complex ethno-cultural context in which the violence of the region is situated.

[Hugh Akston]

Man I have to watch the World Series tonight instead of the debate. How will I ever know which Republican to vote for?

[Knarf Yenrab!]

What does any of this have to do with the World Series?

I mean, I know that Suderman and Dalmia will watch the debate instead of the luscious Jacob deGrom and Facekicker Cueto because they're masochists who take their micropleasures wherever they can get them, but I had higher hopes for JW.

[american socialist]

The maxima of that Laffer curve is shifted way over to the left. Is this the place to lecture others on hoary economic theories as opposed to empirical evidence?

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

To make tonight more of a bummer: Richardson from Deadwood has died. He may have been a fucking pagan, but he was one of the sweetest elements of the show.

[Hyperion]

Oh no, do we really have to do this again?

Behold, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Murika. Typically those vacant lots are filled with a bunch of dudes just standing around not doing something... I'm not sure what.

Murika's finest places

[Hyperion]

Scarier than it looks

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

No Parking signs for street cleaning, but there appears to be no street cleaning.

[Hyperion]

The last street cleaners were killed and stripped of their belongings.

[Hyperion]

And we have the luxury townhomes for offer. You move in free and stay for free as long as you stay alive!

luxury townhomes

[lap83]

At least it's not gentrified

[Hyperion]

The only hope is that it just finally all decays to the ground and the current occupants move on so that they can bulldoze it, like they're doing in Detroit.

[Crusty Juggler]

The city of Newburgh, NY has around 28,000 residents and right around 800 vacant buildings.

Our motto: it's not as bad as everyone says!

[commodious spittoon]

Now I know where I'm headed for vacation. I bet airb&b flats are a steal!

[commodious spittoon]

$14 for a small sofa in a kitchen? SOLD.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Does Jonathan come with the sofa?

[commodious spittoon]

One would hope so. Look at that sexpot.

[Crusty Juggler]

And on the 10 Most Dangerous Cities in America list...huh...

[Quincy.]

Ah, Newburgh. Does the water there usually reek of sulphur, or did I just stay at a place with a bad well?

[Crusty Juggler]

The water in this area is less hit and more miss.

[Quincy.]

Good to know. The water was my goto metaphor to explain my time there.

[Crusty Juggler]

It was appropriate.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I'd rather it burn to the ground than have a Starbucks.

[Hyperion]

My wife has gotten hooked on green tea frappuccino. This is the only reason I ever go into the local Starbucks, to get her one of those. Of course the place is always full of annoying hipster douchebags on their tiny Apple laptops and iPads trying to look smart, connected, and important. Hey, I have internet and coffee at home, you dipshits.

But at least I'm not afraid to stop there lest I be murdered for a dollar or my shoes, (:

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

My wife goes there for a cup of mocha bocha bullshit.

Not my thing.

I get coffee at 7-11 or McDonalds if I have to.

[Hyperion]

I just got another shipment of Brazilian coffee, the best they have. It's excellent. I occasionally run out, but my daughter-in-law just brought me some more.

[Los Doyers]

Any hipster who is still going to Starbucks is doing it fucking wrong. And you tell them that.

[Hyperion]

But but... they got the skinny latte with only soy... are they still killing Gaia? If so, I'll just tell them to kill themselves.

[Los Doyers]

A soy latte, by definition, is not skinny. Soy milk has a quite a bit of fat. So you also tell them that.

[lap83]

Their iced tea lemonades are good too, but their coffee sucks

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

It's even better at Taco Bell.

[lap83]

I get indigestion whenever you talk about food.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I had a life insurance physical recently, and I was trying to keep my cholesterol under 200. I ate a lot of beans. A LOT. 2-3 times a day.

The secret: Epazote. Good luck finding that in Kansas.

P.S. Mission Accomplished.

[Los Doyers]

Good luck finding that in Kansas.

Don't be othering, Playa. I saw plenty of Mexicans in Wichita. All lap has to do is find a decent mexi mercado.

[brady949]

Was that first one used in The Wire?

[Hyperion]

No idea. I drove through there a few weeks ago because there was a detour and my Google maps failed to keep me out of the ghetto. So I just google mapped it and posted the links.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

That yard is bigger than mine.

[Hyperion]

And I bet you are something like 8 with 10 zeros more percent likely to be robbed and killed in that yard.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

"Watching this undercard debate is like continuing to watch a bad TV show after you know it won't be back for another season."
So basically this is every season of Community?

Whoa, KMan. Whoa.

[Crusty Juggler]

Whoa is right.

[DenverJ]

I liked that show!

[Pan Zagloba]

Jesse Walker @notjessewalker

Seems wrong to show an ad for a film about the suffragettes in the middle of a debate between no one worth voting for.

Seems perfect to me, either from positive ("a right is a right regardless of utility") or cynical ("be careful what you wish for") perspective.

[Crusty Juggler]

Is this the Gawker debate tweet chat?

[Mazakon]

Never noticed before, but Graham's a small-fry compared to the others on the stage.

[Hyperion]

Graham is still around? I thought they were narrowing it down now?

[Mazakon]

Nah, none have dropped out even with low poll ratings. I guess they're in some delusional state that they can go higher than 1%.

[Crusty Juggler]

Being a candidate increases the chance you will booked on Hannity.

[Hyperion]

Wait, didn't Perry drop out?

[Hyperion]

Wait, didn't Perry drop out?

[Hyperion]

Damn squirrels! I bet they're fucking Canadian squirrels! The worst kind!

[Mazakon]

He did, so did Walker, but I believe everyone in this round is the same as the last debate.

[DenverJ]

Yeah,I was predicting Walker for the win. Which shows that I'm usually wrong in my predictions. Which is scary because I've been predicting that Trump can't win...

[Fist of Etiquette]

The rain has taken out my Dish (so I'm watching Soave's panel discussion) so I can't see the debate right now. What's the score?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Anyone watching loses.

[Hyperion]

[Hyperion]

This is the problem with pizza pans, they're for making pizza, not TV.

[Certified Public Asshat]

We won't know until we read about it tomorrow.

We're smack dab in the middle of 3Q earnings season. I see no reason to subject myself to additional bullshit.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Aww, is someone's portfolio performing as expected?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Way better. I fucking tore it up with calls on McDonalds and puts on Chipotle. I could lose on everything else and still come out ahead. All is right in the universe.

In summary: McDonalds good, Chipotle bad. God bless America.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Fuck you and your money making ways.

BTW, for 2015, I'm down like a brand new Lexus... and there ain't no lexus sitting in my driveway. I wish I would have blown it on hookers and blow.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Or a Lexus.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

If we're talking about IRAs and retirement, you'll be fine. If it goes down, it will come back up as long as you aren't retiring in the next 5 years.

I keep most of my money indexed with proper diversification.

But I do keep a pile of cash for risky things, and I'm prepared to lose it all. That's kind of how options trading works.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Stocks. And a lot of stocks that seem to be economy-sensitive: Construction, energy-- that type of thing. My tech stocks are doing ok, some are even well in the black.

But my old school we-earn-money-the-old-fashioned-way portfolio has taken a reaming. All the LOLPic stocks are doing ok.

So I guess as long as the new generation isn't too concerned with actually building things and doing real engineering, I might be ok. But those older guys with hard hats? I'm sorry to say, but the economy's not lookin' too good.

[DenverJ]

We older guys worth hard hats are doing ok in Denver... Until the bubble pops... But I don't see that happening for a while; I'm going to try to make my million in the next year or two.

[Los Doyers]

Good? I still can't get hash browns whenever I fucking want. This is definitely not America.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Let the Board of Directors know that you're willing to pay for it. We'll see what we can do.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

I don't get why McDonald's decided to go with breakfast all day. Seems extreme to me. They could - should - have just extended it by an hour. Who fricken wants pancakes at 3 pm anyway? I think the market for that is small. I wonder what franchise owners think of the decision.

[paranoid android]

Who fricken wants pancakes at 3 pm anyway?

Well if I recall correctly, I don't think it's *everything*, just simple stuff like Egg McMuffins hash browns. So no pancakes. But regardless, the answer is: stoners.

[Certified Public Asshat]

Pancakes are available all day at the one by me.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Rufus, it pulled them out of a 4 year decline. It was genius. They didn't have to really DO anything.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

It's not what I read.

But I'm glad you made some coin on it!

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Holeeee shit!:

The federal government has decided not to contribute $15 million toward a Northgate Station pedestrian-and-bicycle bridge over Interstate 5. Local taxpayers would need to fund the entire $26 million project themselves.

Nor will Uncle Sam donate $10 million to help Seattle expand the Pronto bicycle network, which currently serves the University District, downtown and places nearby.

For those keeping score at home, Pronto bike share system is the private company headed up by the guy who's now the city's transit chief, and he's pushing the city to acquire the company because when you're doing Socially Responsible Sustainability Stuff, there IS NO CORRUPTION OR CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

[Ed]

I don't think Sanders believes everything he says, not by a long shot. He's still scary though.

[paranoid android]

I had my high school graduation in that event center; a shame that it has fallen to hosting such an unseemly and disreputable side show as this debate..

Also, who the hell chose Boulder for this? Are all five of the city's Republicans in attendance?

LOL. My little brother works there, lives in Fort Collins. I bet he votes Republican. But he's probably a libertarian on the inside. BTW, he was the creative influence behind Left Hand Brewery's Nitro beer. Got a big bonus.

OT, but strangely appropriate since we're discussing the GOP Presidential Debate: Cleaners Mistake Art Installation for Trash and Throw it Away

After seeing what was supposed to be an art installation at the Museion gallery, a group of cleaners thought they needed to get to work and clear up the area from all the "garbage" someone left behind. The art installation looked like the aftermath of a party room with many bottles on the floor, confetti and a hanging sign that reads "Tutti Assolti" (everyone absolved)

[That's A Bingo!]

CNBC is the network news channel I hate the least.

[Rebel Scum]

I seem to have stumbled into some sort of clown show on the teevee. Nah, I'm here on purpose because I'm a masochist, or something.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Why is the Huckster in a debate about the economy?

[Mazakon]

My college-age son told me lots of his friends--even @ronpaul fans from 2012--dig @SenSanders becuz they think he will relieve their debt

So, how's the Libertarian Moment doing?

[SIV]

"Grab its motherfucking leg"

[GILMORE?]

"Kids Want Free Stuff" is a more efficient use of characters

[GILMORE?]

On a 1-10 scale, how many bitch-points did Raimondo score there? he adds some sauce to it with a follow-up

Also = to her credit, I think Defending Pimps is some of the most valuable work ENB does. Shit aint easy, yall.

[Crusty Juggler]

He seems fun.

[Heroic Mulatto]

By "sauce", you mean plaintive whining, of course.

[Notorious UGCC]

I don't find her boring.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Indeed. Justin doesn't like it when the pimps come around to his place after he tries to short-change his rentbois.

[That's A Bingo!]

Who starts a debate at 15 after?

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Holy shit, I have CNBC playing in the background. The commenters leading up to the debate are brain damaged.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

This is the most important election of our lifetime.

[SIV]

Kasich is at like 2%. How are we in danger of nominating him?

[That's A Bingo!]

Candidates should wear shock collars that go off if they ignore the question. We have the technology.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

But he didn't answer the question.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Good question, that no one will answer.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

The Good part was completely sarcastic.

[SIV]

I'll nominate the Huckster to host a rural TV station's morning show.

[SIV]

The House of Bush got inbred fast

[BakedPenguin]

"What is your greatest weakness?"

"I just have too many good ideas to implement them all."

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Sure. Jeb.

[Rebel Scum]

Q: "What's your weakness?"

A: "AMERICA IS TEH AWESOME. THAT"S WHAT."

[Quincy.]

Great minds.

[Quincy.]

My greatest weakness: I LOVE AMERICA MORE THAN YOU!

[That's A Bingo!]

I heard the servos creating that smile.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Only 75?

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

I wouldn't trust Cruz to drive me home.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Safer than a Kennedy.

[Rhywun]

What'd I miss?!

[Crusty Juggler]

Suderman gave us a drink recipe, Playa talked about Chipolte, and I was awesome.

[Quincy.]

And we determined Newburgh sucks.

[Rebel Scum]

Shouldn't they be pointing to the fact that HRC is a felon on at least 3 counts and should not even be running for prez. if they are going to take shots at her?

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Rand didn't answer either. I am sad.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Admittedly it was a stupid question.

[Rebel Scum]

Um, the Great Wall didn't work...

[Quincy.]

But the Burrito Curtain will!

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Buffoon.

[That's A Bingo!]

Moderators are already losing control. This should be a wreck.

Harwood tells Trump he is full of shit.

Becky tells Carson he is full of shit.

$1.5T is about half a trillion more than we need.

You, definitely.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Buffoon.

Is anyone else gonna get to talk?

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

I think Ben Carson is on Quaaludes.

[That's A Bingo!]

Drool phase?

[SIV]

No, if he was he'd be laughing inappropriately and knocking over the podium

[Sevo]

*CRASH*

[Rebel Scum]

I do prefer these GOP debates bc they at least go after each other, as oposed to the DNC ones where the second-place polling candidate takes special time in the middle of a comment to suck HRC's dick.

[BakedPenguin]

That Veep slot won't fill itself.

[Sevo]

He'd only be one impeachment from POTUS

[Rhywun]

Yeah, that is far and away the most sickening moment of all these spectacles.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Why in fuck would you ever tax a business?

[Crusty Juggler]

I think it is time for a national discussion on movie genres. Fargo was not a comedy, damnit.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

It was a dark comedy, you commie!

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Idiocracy is a documentary, though.

[lap83]

This reminded me of a quote by Terry Zwigoff, "If I see my films described as 'quirky' or, even worse, 'snarky' one more time, I'm going to probably seriously consider an early retirement. All these years I've labored under the conceit that they were "darkly humorous."

[Apatheist ?_??]

Yeah it was.

[Brochettaward]

That Carl Quintawhatever guy has distractingly shiny and ugly hair.

[Apatheist ?_??]

Oh no those poor welfare queen seniors are getting scared. Boohoo.

The Bobs: "Do you hate your job?"

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Jeb: Dammit, I'm a people person!

[Francisco d'Anconia]

I don't like him, but that was good.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Yeah, Jeb got burned. He should have known Rubio would be prepared for that line of attack. He's toast.

[SIV]

I wish they'd all pile on Jeb!

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Rand Paul is very polite. Always asking permission to speak.

So not presidential.

[That's A Bingo!]

Carly's face is melting.

[Vampire]

Rand Paul should have chimed in with his attendance record while campaigning

[Apatheist ?_??]

I'd prefer if all our politicians had a 0% attendance record.

[Apatheist ?_??]

I'd prefer if all our politicians had a 0% attendance record.

[Brochettaward]

I like how CNBC has the Mexican guy ask the Mexican questions, and the female ask the female candidate questions. It must mean they are fair and relate to one another.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Talked to this bitch 3 times. Paul 1.

[Brochettaward]

To ask a question that she's been asked a few hundred times already including in the first debate.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Yes?

[Quincy.]

Maybe.

[Apatheist ?_??]

Put Paul on you fucks, you let Kasich mouth off his nonsense!

[Apatheist ?_??]

Put Paul on you fucks, you let Kasich mouth off his nonsense!

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

30 minutes in and Huckabee and Paul have not been asked any questions.

[Palin's Buttplug]

FatBoy too.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

This is COCK!

[Brochettaward]

Cruz won the 'debate' just there.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Ted is dead on...

[Rebel Scum]

This is not a cage match

Not with THAT attitude...

Also, that was a pretty good salvo by Cruz.

[Agile Cyborg]

Might as well be tweeting pluto cock in dead space comet butt.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Cruz going all NEWT!

DON'T ASK ME A TOUGH QUESTION!

[Quincy.]

Cruz studies commie history! Get him!

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Cool story, Rand but NEEDS MOAR YELLING!!!!!

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Rand is right on...

Too cerebral, though.

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.

[Brochettaward]

So...Trump is going to file for bankruptcy to solve America's debt problem?

[DenverJ]

I LOLed at the pub; I'm getting looks.

[Quincy.]

Now back with Judges Hope, Charity and Wraith.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Is anyone on that stage canny enough to blame the FDA for drug prices?

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Prolly one. But he gets no questions.

[Rebel Scum]

Um, didn't read that someone else started underselling the fuck out of the person that jacked pricing on w/e drug they're referring to? I have a life, so I don't recall the details.

[Vampire]

WTF Rand. Talk about how folks are being robbed, how you're going to cut gov't that's robbing them to the bone, and get that money back to the people. Why the hell are ppl talking about raising the retirement age? If gov't and 18 trillion of debt were so successful, folks should be retiring earlier. That's his goal, so forth and so on.

[Brochettaward]

Fat man doesn't have the balls to defend Volkswagen when talking about GM's favorable treatment. So he jumps to Petraeus.

[Rebel Scum]

Or mention how Toyota was fined billions for something not actually linked to any malfeasance. They don't call GM "Government Motors" for nothing.

[Mazakon]

The moderator to Carson and Christie sounds like he'd be more suited as a sportscaster to me.

[Crusty Juggler]

Peter Suderman @petersuderman

Jim Cramer delivers his questions like how you imagine James T. Kirk would if Kirk were a cocaine addict.

Suderman for the win.

[Rhywun]

Is that the crazy lunatic on the right?

[BakedPenguin]

Bald guy who looks like Louis CK

[GILMORE?]

Jim Cramer is *moderating*?

omg. that must get old real quick

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

A random Walmart greeter would do a better job than John Harwood.

[GILMORE?]

I was thinking he might have his soundboard to use on people to Shut them the Fuck Up, or to offer his qualitative evaluation of their answers

(i'm not actually watching the debate)

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

Priceless.

Cramer's old t.v. partner Kudlow was an actual cocaine addict.

[GILMORE?]

If a trader isn't/wasn't a cokehead at one point they really weren't doing their jobs

[Crusty Juggler]

I don't remember the exact details, but Kudlow snorted millions of dollars worth of cocaine, which is pretty impressive.

[BakedPenguin]

Damn, Fiorina's crony capitalism comment was good.

[Quincy.]

I like Carly's hair.

[Rebel Scum]

Eh, I'm out. I'm gonna go watch something less depressing & more entertaining.

[DenverJ]

Like Precious?

[Los Doyers]

I made the smart move and stocked up on Lagunitas IPA today ahead of this debate. $15 for a 12 pack at my local Ralph's.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

CNBC to Rubio: You're a poor!

[Quincy.]

Seriously look at his boat!

/yacht club snob

[Banjos]

I'm no fan of Rubio, but damn they're being dicks to him.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

He just pecker-slapped Bush and is the logical choice for Establishment Guy, so yeah, they're getting their digs in.

[Eli]

You know what happened the last time we elected a guy who made a million dollars on a book deal....

[Quincy.]

Andy Weir for president.

[DenverJ]

You know who else wrote a book and then was elected?

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

JESUS TITTY-FUCKING CHRIST, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE KILL THE GODDAMN WOMEN MAKE 77 CENTS MYTH!

[Eli]

You can bet Reason would still complain if a cop did it.

[Rich]

This! Ted blew it!

[Quincy.]

I understand it now! Women have been paid in Canadian dollars!

[Eli]

My wife is a single mom....

[Eli]

If this female moderator "Becky" is making 77 cents for every dollar Jim Cramer is, CNBC is getting ripped off.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Okay Rand. Do it. This is fucking ridiculous.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

He's had less than two minutes of speaking time in the first hour. Watch CNBC totally ignore him when they switch to drug policy or criminal justice reform.

[Eli]

I assumed by "do it" he meant drop out of the race.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Fuck off Tulpa!

[Brochettaward]

Fiorina won some points with me for the first time harping on regulatory capture.

[Vampire]

What happened to Rand taking a stand?

[Notorious UGCC]

OT - wake up, ladies, the corporations are conspiring with the nuns to go to the Supreme Court and steal your birth control!

"...the Court will send a signal that could telegraph how they will ultimately decide how much power bosses have to limit their employee's access to birth control....

"Several cases are competing for the justices' attention, but two of these cases are at the front of the line. The first involves a plaintiff that by all outward appearances was hand-selected by the religious right to place the most sympathetic possible face on their efforts to shift the balance of power between religious objectors and their employees. The second involves other religious employers who, for various legal reasons, are more suitable plaintiffs to bring their case to the Supreme Court....

"...Following the lead of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, the legal group that represents the Little Sisters, conservative media have taken to referring to the Little Sisters case as Obama's "war on nuns."...

"...Little Sisters is not a normal case. It is the bludgeon religious conservatives have chosen to use as a political weapon against the Obama administration."

Hey, SF, we have something in common!

Let me try this link

He's adorable and does God's work on drawing attention to the Fed and is probably the sole voice at CNBC that could be considered a Fed critic.

Santelli should be the moderator

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Ron gets more time than Rand.

Santelli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha Cruz namedropping Rand's dad, BURN

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Fuck off Tulpa.

Shouldn't any questions about the Fed be directed to the guy surnamed Paul?

Paultard 'Audit the Fed' garbage?

Why?

Goldbugs are idiots.

[Sevo]

A level to which you can only gaze with desire, turd.

[Vampire]

OMG, you're calling people idiots while failing to realize how much the central bank through collusion with the government robbed purchasing power from people.

Government's and central banks rely on idiots like you as they debase money, as they wind up with all the gold and silver while you hold worthless paper, that is valuable to you because some douchebag in a fancy suit says they back that monopoly money.

How many examples do you need?

[Palin's Buttplug]

Go tell Buffett or Gates that gold is the place to be - instead of human capital.

[Sevo]

"Go tell Buffett..."

Go tell that hypocrite to pay his taxes before he whinges that they're too low.

[Cytotoxic]

I will, and I'll make more money than they have been lately.

[Cytotoxic]

I will, and I'll make more money than they have been lately.

[Vampire]

OMG, are you that obtuse? Legal tender laws force an exchange partner to accept a media of exchange against their will.

[Vampire]

that was to PB

[Contrarian P]

Please direct me to the store where I can spend my human capital.

[BigT]

Tried Planned Parenthood?

[Cytotoxic]

Angry that gold's price just refuses to fall? Guess those expired options aren't good for much aside from burning.

The violent existential suckage of reality called these fucking debates. The mass squads of sick people who want to manage freedom at the highest level (as fucking Joe Rogan constant-fucking-ly sez) are all inept bland insipid carcasses of blowing fields.

I just got to the part on the Federal Reserve when Cruz name dropped Ron. Camera guy is in on the joke and zooms out to capture Rand. The moderators are oblivious.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Good man.

[Crusty Juggler]

Has anyone asked the candidates what they think about Joe Buck's beard?

[GILMORE?]

Oh, i heard about that. I always thought Joe Buck's appeal was the incongruity of his boyish face with his sonorous tenor voice. Beards are just ... unwise, for some people

Rand should get the weed question.

Lions and tigers and bears oh my, liberty must be sacrificed because they might rip out your eye. Wow these debates are so dry, Donald Trump's hair has gone awry, and was itching to attack the moderators and beat them till they cry.

Spending and regulation are bad unless its the labor market! Government knows best!

If they're on oxygen, that might be due to the fact that the process takes 15 to 20 years.

Not complaining though, that's what keeps the MiL safely 8,500 miles away.

Your wife came in on the right visa.

[Heroic Mulatto]

It's worth noting that there is nothing inherent in the process that makes it last that long except for the backlog. I was talking with a recruiter for a federal contractor who reads the sponsor letters for visas and adjudicates them. They were looking for 80 English/Spanish bilinguals to work for their NH location alone.

[Heroic Mulatto]

And it's not that there is so much immigration to NH, it's just that all the applications from a certain region of the world gets forwarded to their office at the old Pease Air Force Base.

He's better when he's high on bacon-infused bourbon.

Awww, thanks for the spell check.

[John]

Ted Cruz cock blocked Trump and likely won the nomination with his beat down of the moderators. It was pitch perfect. He attacked the lowest form of life in the universe; the hack Washington journalist, and did it in a way that sang the party song and did not attack any of the other candidates. That is likely game set match. Cruz was poised to be the serious alternative to Trump and Carson. The beat down of the moderators likely sealed the deal

[Cytotoxic]

Who cares about issues? We have Team Other to snarl at!

[John]

Since you are too stupid to have any intelligent opinions on issues, not caring about issues is likely the best move for you. Just continue to emote Cytoxic. It is your move.

[Apatheist ?_??]

It's funny since your praising Cruz for making a purely emotional appeal to the crowd.

[Cytotoxic]

Whatever ability John had to restrain his projection or think beyond TEAM collectivism was burnt out by the Gay Wars, where he had to watch the Gaybots grind the skulls of Christian bakers into roads.

[John]

I was just saying what happened. There wasn't any praise of Cruz beyond pointing out the effectiveness of what he said. The fact that it worked says nothing about how good or bad it was.

[Apatheist ?_??]

Hold on now, journalists are at least behind politicians and cops on the lowest form of life in the universe scale.

[John]

Cops and politicians are at least honest sociopaths. Journalists are not even that. And journalists are toadies to cops and politicians. You have to respect a villain. But no one respects a toady.

[Apatheist ?_??]

Cops and politicians are at least honest sociopaths

Lol

[Cytotoxic]

John will say anything to further his narrative. What does that sound like?

[John]

Always better to be the villain than the toady. Journalists are toadies. There is nothing worse than that. Cytoxic is a toady and of course identifies with journalists

[Apatheist ?_??]

You're beyond parody at this point.

-Note parody not paranoid.

[John]

Why? Are journalists not toadies? Do journalists on both sides not boot lick cops and anyone in power? How can you deny that?

What Cruz said was politically brilliant. It is going to do him a world of good and might get him the nomination.

Why do you think pointing that out is some endorsement of Cruz? It is just the truth. And why do you find telling the truth beyond parody whatever that means?

[VG Zaytsev]

Because he's a journolist?

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Cruz is a pandering piece of shit, but yeah, he had the most effective answer of the night. But Rubio also managed to effectively stay on message the entire time.

It'll probably be the two of them left standing. Poor Rand just isn't very good at being mean to people.

[John]

Cruz loses more IQ points on a drinking binge than you have Geoff. Of all the things to call him, paranoid is frankly just bizarre. Is Cruz a know it all asshole? Sure. But paranoid?

Do yourself a favor and social signal by talking about Trump or Carson because your talking points about Cruz need work.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Of all the things to call him, paranoid is frankly just bizarre. Is Cruz a know it all asshole? Sure. But paranoid?

I said pandering, not paranoid.

[John]

Pandering is just as stupid. Cruz has balls. Again. We get it. You have social signaled. You are one of the good people.

I will never understand people like you. I can't imagine living my life worried about if my opinions are acceptable by the right crowd whoever that is. It is so much more fun not giving a fuck and thanking for myself.

[Apatheist ?_??]

It's John the Mindtaker!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-klQ-kpq98

[John]

Geoff is dumb. I shouldn't be so hard on him. He poses and social signals because that is all he can do. I should not be so nasty and make such fun of him for doing the only thing he is capable of.

[GILMORE?]

" thanking for myself."

[John]

Gilmore you are not dumb. Unlike Geoff you do think for yourself and are worth listening too.

[DenverJ]

You know John, even American Socialist made a few good points tonight.
Even stupid people can have insights from time to time.
You hear more when you stop speaking.

[John]

True Denver. And there used to be left leaning posters on here who make good points and even though they were wrong, you were smarter for knowing them.

Sadly they all ran away when faced with the prospect of defending Obama. They have been replaced by right leaning posters who just pose and have little interesting to say. And that is frustrating.

[Cytotoxic]

right leaning posters who just pose and have little interesting to say.

*Projection intensifies*

[John]

Cytoxic the fact that you are right about some things makes your general idiocy that much more annoying.

[Cytotoxic]

LOLOLOOLOLOL

[Apatheist ?_??]

*Peers closely at Serious' comment*

Nope, don't see the word paranoid anywhere.

[John]

He signaled. Everyone know knows he is not one of those people.

[Apatheist ?_??]

Again, this is hilarious projection. You praised Cruz's signaling to let everyone know he's not one of those people and when people criticize that they're the ones signaling.

[John]

Everyone here hates Cruz. What would be the point of praising Cruz here as a signal? Who would I be signaling? If I wanted to say "fuck you" I would just say it. I wouldn't need to signal it by praising Cruz.

I have an honest opinion. You only think it is signaling because apparently you don't know what an honest opinion looks like or more likely are uncomfortable with the reality that you are signaling and just accuse me of projecting as a way to avoid the truth.

[GILMORE?]

"Everyone here hates Cruz.'

No one here cares about Cruz in the slightest.

[John]

Okay Gilmore maybe so. If they don't care, then praising Cruz is not a signal. There is no one to signal. Again, if I want to say fuck you I will just say it.

And people seem to be awfully anxious to respond to my post for not caring about Cruz.

[GILMORE?]

"people seem to be awfully anxious to respond to my post for not caring about Cruz."

Swiss once made a great remark... about a person "Confusing 'Taking Flak' with 'Being Over the Target'"

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Which one was Cruz?

[John]

He was the one who used all of the big words you didn't understand Frank.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Hey John, are you drunk?

If not, you might want to think about checking yourself back in. Or at least getting your money back from the last admission. It didn't help.

[Apatheist ?_??]

You are so far up your own ass, everyone is signaling, waging culture wars, and projecting but you. It's all a one way battle against poor embattled John.

It's a goddamn libertarian board and you're saying we shouldn't criticize scumbag politicians for pandering. For fucks sake.

[John]

Not everyone is signaling. You are not. Gilmore isn't. The only people who signal are the stupid people like Frank and Geoff And Cytoxic. All three of them are comically stupid. Cytoxic is delusional and Frank is just a box of rocks

They are not worth responding to. It is a vice of mine to do so. Yelling at a box of rocks is a waste of time. I don't get smarter and God knows the box of rocks isn't going to get smarter.

That being said, all three deserve to be called out for being stupid posers even if they will never change. Justice demands it.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Hey John, are you okay? Do we need to call someone? Tell us the number on your bracelet and we'll get someone out to you right away. And stay away from sharp objects.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

I'm still unclear on who I am supposed to be signaling to on an anonymous internet commenting board.

[Apatheist ?_??]

You're not signaling Serious, everyone here hates pandering politicians. What would be the point of criticizing pandering politicians here as a signal? Who would you be signaling? If you wanted to say "fuck you" you would just say it. You wouldn't need to signal it by criticizing pandering politicians.

You have an honest opinion. John only thinks it is signaling because apparently he doesn't know what an honest opinion looks like or more likely is uncomfortable with the reality that he is signaling and just accuses you of projecting as a way to avoid the truth.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

OR...

It may just be that John has been batshit crazy for at least the last six months.

[Apatheist ?_??]

I was just using John's copypasta.

[John]

Why was Cruz pandering? He told the truth. Admitting he had a point is running the risk someone might think you like him. And my God, we can't have that.

Go back to my original post. There is not a single word in it that says anything good or bad about Cruz. I just said I think he won the nomination tonight. I never said that was good or bad. You just assumed it was a pro Cruz post. It was an observation.

If I am the one who is signaling here and not you, then why did you go so far out of your way to assume I was supporting Cruz and to distance yourself from it? I never did any such thing. I just gave an observation. If you disagree, fine. Maybe Cruz didn't help himself tonight. But that issue has nothing to do with whether Criz is good or bad. Yet you made it that

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Go back to my original post.

Here is your original post, moron.

Cruz loses more IQ points on a drinking binge than you have Geoff. Of all the things to call him, paranoid is frankly just bizarre. Is Cruz a know it all asshole? Sure. But paranoid?

Do yourself a favor and social signal by talking about Trump or Carson because your talking points about Cruz need work.

You didn't even interpret the original statement correctly. You flew off the handle over a misinterpretation and then doubled down.

So which is it, drunk or Mary-level nuts?

[John]

That is not my original post. That was just trolling you. And yeahCruzis smart. That doesn't mean he should be president.

Go look again. My original post was about his attack on the moderator. It is funny as hell you call me a moron then post the wrong post and misunderstand what it means.

You really are stupid Frank. Seriously you are box of rocks dumb. I need to stop picking on you. It's not nice or fair

[John]

Of course you are unclear Geoff. You are unclear about everything. That comes with being a moron. All you ever do on here is mouth the acceptable position. I have more respect for Shreek than I do for you. It may not take any brains to do what he does but it at least takes a little balls.

I just don't get people like you and Frank. I don't understand people who never know anything and never have an interesting thought about anything.

[Cytotoxic]

You don't 'get' people because you are mentally ill. Seek help.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Seek help.

Where do you think he was for the month he was missing?

It apparently didn't take.

[Cytotoxic]

Apparently my trenchant arguments regarding the mass immigration of refugees and the benefits it will bring Europe broke John. I am not making this up. Your welcome; I like chocolates and drone-bombing send both. The former to me the latter to the people who hate me for my freedoms. THAT ORDER IS IMPORTANT.

[John]

Come on Cytoxic tells us how Europe going Muslim will make it more free. I need a good laugh tonight.

[Cytotoxic]

Europe is never 'going Muslim'. Though honestly I'd take a little bit of Sharia over a lot of social democracy.

[John]

Yeah Frank, calling you a moron is really going out on a limb.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Being called a moron by you, John...

There's an insult.

It's like Christie calling Huckabee fat.

[DenverJ]

I know this girl. Gorgeous. I call her (not to her face) "box of rocks".
She's dumb. I mean dumb. I was helping her work on her van a few weeks ago, and couldn't figure out the problem. She pointed something out and it all clicked. She's almost like the Forest Gump of mechanics. I tell you, she's an idiot savant.

[DenverJ]

And by this, John, I mean that sometimes listening to people you think are less intelligent than you can sometimes result in your own edification.

[John]

Yes Denver it can. Just not tonight and not with these people.

[Eli]

Yeah, he does complain that everyone in the Senate gangs up against him, but he's not paranoid because they do. Of course they do that because he is an asshole.

[John]

He is an asshole. But he is a smart asshole who is right about a lot of things. These times likely require an asshole. A nice guy is likely not going to get anywhere.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

You can't be an asshole and effectively govern in our system of government. Or have you not been paying attention to the current asshole in the White House?

[John]

I wish that was true. But Obama is an asshole. I would like to pretend he hasn't been effective. But really he has. I don't like it but it has been effective.

[Cytotoxic]

Pffftttt yeah he was so effective that with a supermajority on his side he could only pass a cobbled together POS healthcare reform that a ton of people hate, is unsustainable, and is an albatross on his party's neck. He's poisoned the well for universal healthcare. His party got its ass beaten in in Congress and at the state level. REAL EFFECTIVE BRO

[John]

He has been a disaster. But that is because he is an idiot not because he has not been effective politically. In many was he has.

[Cytotoxic]

No FDR was (brutally) effective. Changed America for decades. America almost became a one-party state under his misrule. Obama has achieved no such dominance.

[John]

FDR was less effective than people think. People confuse the new deal with the great society. With the loan exception of social security every new deal program was either repealed or completely changed by later administrations.

Johnson was the brutality effective politician who transferred the country.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

I think Rand Paul just took a shot at Baby Boomers. Good.

[Derpetologist]

OT: some thoughts about the cop who assaulted the student

The reason there are cops in schools is because teachers and administrators are reluctant to use force and have been punished for using it. So, the solution was to put in cops who are allowed to use force.

A middle school teacher of mine was found of telling a story from his teacher training days. He was an apprentice to a teacher for chronic troublemakers at an alternative school. The first day of class, the alternative teacher would walk into the room without saying a word and ignore the rambunctious students. Then, he would grab and empty desk and throw it through a window. CRASH! Then he would yell "I can do that to ANY of you!" He never had any discipline problems after the demonstration.

To take a step back, I think compulsory schooling is a bad idea in the first place. A lot of these problems would not be if school choice was the norm.

[Palin's Buttplug]

[Apatheist ?_??]

Various of these candidates in the debates have proposed means testing on social security (though none of them have said those exact words). I should call my granddad and make sure he hasn't had a stroke.

[Cytotoxic]

If that's true then that's actually a huge step up and we should be glad for it. That is the first step to not being Ultra-Fucked.

[Apatheist ?_??]

No its not. Raising the age is certainly better, but means testing just turns it into another redistribution scheme (ok more of a redistribution scheme than it is now). The only real reform is to start letting people phase out. Bandaids just kick the can further down the road.

[Heroic Mulatto]

but means testing just turns it into another redistribution scheme

Not to mention the even more perverse incentive to not save for old age.

[Apatheist ?_??]

That too. The only good thing about means testing is that it will put a bunch of seniors (like my granddad) firmly in the blow it all up camp. The only thing he supports about SS is getting some of the money stolen from him back, take that away and what reason does he to support SS at all. Fuck, he'll still be paying into it!

[Rhywun]

I think either solution was more palatable when the tax was 2%. When it's 12% - fuck no.

[Cytotoxic]

"means testing just turns it into another redistribution scheme "

Yes, hopefully more like the ones that ARE NOT going to bankrupt America so certainly! THAT IS THE POINT.

"The only good thing about means testing is that it will put a bunch of seniors (like my granddad) firmly in the blow it all up camp. "

Worth it just for that.

I'd much rather raise the retirement age but I will take what can be gotten and so will anyone with sense.

[Brochettaward]

The problem with Social Security - you take their money for their lifetime, they fucking expect it back as they were told. So you can never cut the damn thing, at most push back the retirement age. Well, eventually someone is going to get screwed.

[SIV]

We means test the other welfare programs, why not SS and Medicare?

[DenverJ]

Because SS (you know who else used those initials?) was passed on the explicit point that it was NOT welfare. Everybody pays in, everybody gets paid out. It's, like, the only promise government had ever kept, because if you tell all the middle age people you're going to confiscate their SS to balance the budget, you're going to be looking for a new career.

Rand could have said something like: Fuck the FED. They are the reason your purchasing power has eroded. You could have retired earlier, instead you can't save, and you have to work forever. He should say they are going to raid the fed, screw the banks and make everyone's mortgage balance zero, take all the precious metals from the Central bank vaults, and give it back to folks thereby returning that worthless paper back to them.

The fiercely independent head of the FBI is directing the investigation into Clinton's use of a personal email server and attendant issues raised during the Benghazi inquiry, which could lead to indictments of the former Secretary of State or her various aides."

No way they get any charges filed by Loretta L., but they can keep it in the news cycle.

[Red Rocks Rockin]

In a word, no.

No way in hell Obama fucks over the presumptive nominee of his own party. Even he knows Bernie's a weak-ass eunuch, and nuking Hillary for breaking the law would make him a pariah with the Democrat leadership.

[Sevo]

"...nuking Hillary for breaking the law would make him a pariah with the Democrat leadership."

I'm not gonna argue with that.
But the article claims the guy can be a real stickler, to the extent he sassed Obo in the WH; the only glimmer here is that he makes a stink publicly enough that Obo has to cave to public pressure.

[DenverJ]

Obama knows his only "legacy" is Obamacare. Any elephant will gladly join in with an elephant Congress to get rid of that pile of manure.

I think Obama actually is descended from a black slave through his mom, ironically enough. Also if one wanted to get pedantic, his dad's ancestors were probably slaves at some point, same could probably be said for most people.

[Notorious UGCC]

This is interesting, thank you.

"In 1640, Mr. Punch, then an indentured servant, escaped from Virginia and went to Maryland. He was captured there and, along with two white servants who had also escaped, was put on trial. His punishment ? servitude for life ? was harsher than what the white servants received, and it has led some historians to regard him as the first African to be legally sanctioned as a slave, years before Virginia adopted laws allowing slavery."

Poor Mr. Punch, he never seems to catch a break.

Apparently he was allowed 2 minutes and his questions were about "why he sucked so bad" and "why do you hate America"

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

ENB:what is the austrian word for towel-you-wipe-your-armpit-with?

Foster's?

[AlmightyJB]

Foster's is Australian not Austrian

[Derpetologist]

Achselh?hlehandtuch

(armpit towel)

[GILMORE?]

""Achselh?hle""

This sounds like what I call Amsoc when i've had too much to drink

[Notorious UGCC]

Wow, I bet I'm the only sober commenter here. Fortunately I'm not letting it show.

[AlmightyJB]

I'm sorry, yeah, I'm not sober.

[AlmightyJB]

And when I say I'm sorry, I mean I'm sorry for you

[Rhywun]

*hic*

[AlmightyJB]

Working on it. Not quite there yet.

[Cytotoxic]

Great we have something in common. How double-lame.

[Quincy.]

*burp*

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

*fart*

Well, almost. I'm not drinking Bud Light.

[GILMORE?]

For the record, I just started drinking.

[commodious spittoon]

I am wretchedly sober. I forced myself to work out rather than sit here watching the first class of presidential hopefuls disappoint and/or terrify me.

[DenverJ]

Real men (I mean me), enjoy working out shit faced. It's what separates the boys from the men.
Now, I'm not Warty, but I bet I'd give you a heart attack if you tried to work out with me.
I go down to the RTD station just to run the stairs.
Catch me. Go ahead and try.
And when you catch me, ask yourself, shit, what do I do now?

[Agile Cyborg]

if you arms spill little drips of dead indians and stones on the sand bash your head in and fuck your cognition with their space trips life flicks pianos and guitars to escape from the fucking mind tripping on planets and odd suns posting the fuck up and f. gotta roll down in my ship my cheek rests on the cold plate of the floor and i ponder the welds trickled from a union man in a dark massive space ghetto listenin to cramer or floyd.

[Quincy.]

sweep it clear, cy, the road to the red dusts is not paved in conspicuously empathetic worries of whatevers past.

[LynchPin1477]

I see that after our, what, two month break? that we'll be back to 500 comment threads between 4 or 5 people. You rascals!

[AlmightyJB]

Any comment after 714 is just noise.

[Sevo]

Where's the number (I'm using Mozilla)?

[commodious spittoon]

727.

[commodious spittoon]

Wait, shit, 728.

[commodious spittoon]

Wait, shit.

[Hyperion]

There hasn't been a thread in recent history that has more than 1K posts that I'm not here. Last time was more than 1400. So since I'm here, carry on comrades. I don't have anything more to say, the GOP is a gigantic fucking clusterfuck of ballless pussies. The Dems want Shitllary. The GOP establishment wants Shitllary. And the sheeples want what the establishment wants. All hail Shitllary, candidate for the sheeples. I mean it makes sense, let's elect the most vile and hated old corrupt cankled fugly bag to ever walk the earth, it's good for the chilluns, and that's what really matters most.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

"ballless pussies"
Go on...

[Hyperion]

Some things are just too sad to continue...

[Hyperion]

Playing Rebel Galaxy in 5760x1080 surround mode, fucking sweetness. Fuck the GOP.

[Apatheist ?_??]

Playing that too! It's pretty good but suspect its going to get repetitive soon.

[GILMORE?]

So, was there any worthwhile take-away from the debate? Did anyone 'win'? Did America lose?

[Hyperion]

The statists won and there was no libertarian moment, again. Nothing to see here, move along.

[widget]

So now that Rick Perry and Jim Webb have thrown their cards on table which candidate has the most alpha smirk?

Meanwhile, in Palestine, a sheikh boldly calls for peace, understanding, and an end to violence...

...in an alternate universe.

[Sevo]

'Cause god tole 'em!

[Notorious UGCC]

Palestinian "leaders" were saying the same thing back when they were secularists.

[Notorious UGCC]

Hey, he said no Jews *of any color* would remain in the land.

So he's not racist...he has that going for him.

[Derpetologist]

It's funny that they even want to dig up the Jewish graves so they can get rid of the bones. It's a small price to pay to eliminate the risk of catching Jew Cooties.

I live on the property of American Indians, the Chumash, in my case. Westerners, the white men, have sent them to live on reservations and made a sort of humiliating peace with them by letting them operate casinos.

I'm trying to understand his perspective here.

So called right-wing extremists are protesting the open boarders policy Angela Merkel has established in Germany that has led to an invasion of foreigners.

A peaceful answer to this is not at all obvious to me.

Jihad Jellybeans

M&Ms; - Muslims and Martyrdom

Hey, who's the infidel who put the tootsie roll in there?

[Notorious UGCC]

Anyway, I'm definitely coming by that woman's house for Trick or Treat - she always has candy ready for any occasion.

[Notorious UGCC]

In the afterlife, the martyrs get to suck on these for all eternity.

[Derpetologist]

How many ticks does it take until the bomb goes off? The guy wearing it may never know.

[Notorious UGCC]

She definitely seems like the Almond Joy type.

[Notorious UGCC]

I'd kick myself if I didn't post this link.

[Notorious UGCC]

Wow, here I am making jokes about some dead guy's mother.

Sociopathy, here I come!

[Notorious UGCC]

I have this great link, but I wonder if Muslims might perhaps find it offensive?

[Derpetologist]

Try this one instead

[Notorious UGCC]

(Seriously, though, I might ham it up, but I have no beef with the vast majority of peaceful Muslims)

[Derpetologist]

" I might ham it up"

I see what you did there.

I knew a Muslim from India a while back. He was very troubled by the Mumbai attacks in 2008. I've only known a few dozen Muslims and all of them were about as nice as most other people.

[widget]

My experience with Muslims have a been a bit mixed.

I work as contractor and got a job from a very devout and polite Muslim American to go to Pakistan and start up an engineering project. So we met the Pakistani team in a restaurant in Santa Barbara.

I got an earful about not eating pork and the flaws in American foreign policy. I said "In America, it is considered impolite to talk about religion and politics at the dinner table." No impact whatsoever.

[Agammamon]

So, how drunk did you guys get and we want the deets on all the poorly bad idea, indiscrete, coworker hookups.

[Notorious UGCC]

Let's just hope that when you wake up you won't find her fixing breakfast for you.

Start generating cash right now... Get more time with your family by doing j0bs that only require for you to have a computer and an internet access and you can have that at your home. Start bringing up to $9648 a month. I've started this j0b and I've never been happier and now I am sharing it with you, so you can try it too. You can check it out here...

Pretty well, yeah.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Bullshit. They want the candidates insane shit addressed.

These fucksticks are fucking insane.

[Banjos]

I laughed too. That was good.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Give them credit: they just did an entire segment without asking Trump a question or permitting him to speak.

[Eli]

Nick Gillespie seems to like them.

[Rhywun]

And they're taking that money from someone else!

[LynchPin1477]

Your kitchen looks nicer in those pictures. I apologize for implying your place looked poor. In my defense I assumed whoever's place it was sunk most of their money into alcohol, which I approve of.
