Will the GOP Face Facts And Embrace Donald Trump as One of Their Own?

Speaker Paul Ryan hasn't endorsed The Donald-yet.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) didn't offer a glowing endorsement of Donald Trump after their meeting this week, but that may just be a matter of time.

From The New York Times:

"Donald Trump and I have had our differences — we talked about those differences today," Mr. Ryan said, adding, "I do believe that we are now planting the seeds to get ourselves unified."

With his conciliatory language toward Mr. Trump, Mr. Ryan embarked on a perilous gamble with the volatile force of the businessman's personality — which the speaker characterized as "very good" — and with Mr. Trump's shape-shifting on policy.

Many Republicans are still holding out in getting behind their presumptive nominee, but Trump's policy agenda shouldn't be a major obstacle. Essentially, he's one of them.

Here are six things Trump has in common with the GOP:

President "Bobby": Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?
[Long pause]
Chance the Gardener: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.
President "Bobby": In the garden.
Chance the Gardener: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.
President "Bobby": Spring and summer.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
President "Bobby": Then fall and winter.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
Benjamin Rand: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.
Chance the Gardener: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!
Benjamin Rand: Hmm!
Chance the Gardener: Hmm!
President "Bobby": Hm. Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time.

Ah... The music in that scene recalls to mine own ears another movie, one which very few I know care to keep in their memory.

[GILMORE?]

The music in that scene

Which is funny, i've linked to that tune (and that artist) like 3 times over the past year. Deodato is one of those early 70s jazz guys who has tasty breaks

the latter is Jorge Ben, i forget the name of that tune but its his best known/most frequently played.

My favorite lesser-known brazilian of a more-soul/less jazzy vibe is Tim Maia

[GILMORE?]

*correction - Mas Que Nada was written by Jorge Ben, but that very-well-known performance is Sergio Mendez.

I like to watch

The New York Times has a creative way to illustrate an article on circumcision

[Quincy.]

Makes me want to to read I, Pencil again. And not care about savage dick slicing.

[Warty]

"OK, wise guy, how would YOU illustrate a circumcision?"

I'd probably show a picture of a baby wailing while a part of him was amputated without anaesthetic. What else would one do?

[commodious spittoon]

Needs moar yarmulke.

[Quincy.]

Needs mohel Yiddishisms.

[commodious spittoon]

That made me bristle.

[Quincy.]

Oy!

[Spencer]

Don't forget unnecessarily amputated without consent. What would the nation do if it was a procedure on its little girls where the medical evidence didn't provide clear direction? Whatever you want? I think not.

[commodious spittoon]

Giving little girls gender-reinforcing toys is literally just like female circumcision.

[Spencer]

Too good. To honest.

[GamerFromJump]

Based on current trends - excuse it as culture.

[Hayeksplosives]

As a comfort to you men who have had a circumcision way before you were able to consent, let me tell you that from a woman's perspective (or at least from mine) it is way way more appealing to give head to a circumcised penis than to an uncircumcised one.

For what it is worth.

[sarcasmic]

THIS ARTICLE DOESN'T EXIST! REASON IS IN THE TANK FOR HILLARY! THEY PICK ON TRUMP AND IT ISN'T FAIR!

Sure but they're only for Hills because they hate women so much.

Also, I would bet trump has had more cocks in his mouth than hillary.

In the interest of showcasing diverse viewpoints:

"...In my experience, rants against deep-dish pizza rarely have anything to do with whether or not it's pleasurable to eat....

"It's true that deep-dish pizza sometimes plows headlong into excess. But I've yet to meet a deep-dish detractor who didn't harbor a secret lust for at least one other, equally decadent culinary pleasure. (Be honest with yourself.)...

"He who denies the validity of deep-dish pizza denies the very essence of culinary history."

[Old Man With Candy]

[commodious spittoon]

One is pizza and one is quichza. Can we bury it now?

But now then, Pizza with quinoa on it? Yay or nay?

[HeteroPatriarch]

Quinoa is gross, so nay.

[Ted S.]

Or a casserole if it's even thicker.

[Jerryskids]

I like Pringles. I've actually had people tell me Pringles aren't really potato chips. Yeah, they're *Pringles* potato chips. It's not like I can't tell the difference between an extruded rehydrated powdered potato mush and a sliced fresh potato, it's just that sometimes I like the mush. I like white bread and Miracle Whip and margarine and Kraft slices, too. And I like the coffee at the BP just fine. I've only recently begun to appreciate thin-crust pizza. I've always eaten deep-dish, it's just better pizza.

[Ted S.]

It's "deep-dish"; it's not "pizza".

[commodious spittoon]

It has mozzarella, tomato sauce, in a shell, with toppings. What else would you call it?

[SIV]

Casserole

[commodious spittoon]

Regular pizza is just a shallow casserole.

[SIV]

Real pizza is greasy cheese bread

[You Sound Like a Prog (MJG)]

A "shell"?

[Agammamon]

The arguments about deep dish basically revolve around whether or not its pizza.

Its in effect an argument about *evolution*. At what point can you say a once group of lifeforms has become sufficiently distinct that you can call them a separate species (rather than a race or clade)? And the lines that are drawn so cleanly across species barriers are done from a million year distant perspective and through the lens of a woefully incomplete fossil record.

Its obvious that deep dish is evolved from pizza and, IMO, its obvious that it is its own thing now and not pizza.

[commodious spittoon]

Pizza has a creator, and the creator ordains what pizza is and what it is not.

[mr simple]

I'm not saying they need to tell kids it's the only kind of pizza out there; I'm just saying they should have it alongside other pizza styles and let them choose for themselves.

[That's A Bingo!]

Pizza evolved, it wasn't created.

[GILMORE?]

Its in effect an argument about *evolution*

This is how i see the deep dish pizza question

What happened to her neck?

[Quincy.]

There is a pool of 290 million ISK (?1.6 million) available to fund political campaigning in the run-up to the election, divided based on February poll results. The Pirates were comfortably leading the polls at that time, and should scoop 35% of the funding pot, more than any of their rival parties.

She said: "We did not expect this. We don't care. Democracy doesn't revolve around getting loads of money from the government.

"We funded our campaign at a flea market before the last elections and that was fine."

I like her

She's the kinda leftist Matt Welch imagines still existed in the US back in the '80s. Anti-authoritarian, anti-state, pro-individual. Birgitta's more "libertarian" than pot-smoking Republican Gary Johnson.

I won big with puts on Nordstrom's too. But I was wrong on Nvidia. Their GPUs are used for a lot of other things, and I didn't do my research.

My wins were about 49k this week, and my losses were about 38k. I should have just stuck with what I was doing. It's not worth the trouble.

Earnings aren't fun anymore.

[You Sound Like a Prog (MJG)]

GPUs are the shining component these days in video work. Developers are making programs more GPU-intensive, and I've seen a lot of new hardware that's switched from CPU processing to GPUs. And power-wise, poor AMD can't catch up with Nvidia (or Intel in the CPU realm).

[Playa Manhattan.]

The GPUs are used for lots of things other that G. Five more minutes of research would have told me that. I was in a hurry, and... whoops.

Mm. I already cook pork butt like that. That sauce though...

So Trump shows up one fucking day passing by on the way to fish for fucking big mouths on that river over their. Bitch has some president cum smoothies in his wallet and all owa sudden people make enough that weekend to take their fucking middle school nerds to see some bullshit flick some motherfucking asshole who lives in a house with a billion bathrooms made with a stack of desperate fat slobs with a bunch of middle school nerds getting THEIR asses beat down in Compton and shit by the ocean.

Yea, Trump has FUCKING nothing to be jumping around about. When all the motherfucking 80's fat slobs and cowboys who I love by the way start pulling triggers on you specifically it is likely YOU, TRUMP, are their escape chute FROM suicide, motherfucker.

And I am fucking forced to understand that even the Muslim has its intellectual and lovely spiritualist tho I fucking will never understand none of you peaceful lovers of gods even though I much prefer my societies be full of your ilk aside from malevolent torturous nasties who drip the bloods of cast out demons wearing the ponchos of poltergeists.

"We are usually dealing with a lot of difficult parts of the world," said Charles Kupchan, Obama's top adviser for European affairs. "Suddenly, you go up to the Nordic region of the world, and not only do you have a part of the world that is extremely stable, and Democratic, and liberal, you have a part of the world that is peaceful and is contributing to peace and to the humanitarian agenda and many of the interests the United States cares about in a way that is consistent and reliable."
