I mean, there's nothing really terrible about Ohio. The weather is totally shit. A lot of the people suck. There are big packets of rednecks, but that happens everywhere. We once had a river catch fire. Cleveland's sports teams are a national joke.

But, we have Ohio State and we're not Michigan.

Fun times in Cleveland. But at least, it's not Detroit.

Have politics for the GOP really come down to insulting each others families and wives?

To get back on the Far Right BS we can see nearly everyday in France in their utter contempt for anything close to any truth.
Here is a translated article about the Far Right shitheads using an old vid and saying it's about Kohln shitty events.
there's whole sites dedicated to dissecting hoaxes and proving how the rumours are hoaxes.
People don't hold truth to the same standard on this side of the pond...

So my Kos diary is still on the Rec list.

I also managed to do 3 hours of phone banking today for Queen, mainly to WA, as that's the numbers they fed me.

Good job!
If I ever get a shitlist you're probably at the top of the people absolutely banned from it.
You could be supporting someone I hate, I don't really care your piece reminded me of the image I had about the US people before having to look at some "divisive" issue.
You have values and you're pushing for a change you want to see.
My point is I would upvote your post and your current actions if I had the means.

Oh man, if Cruz eventually endorses Trump, Vic Berger will tear a hole in spacetime.


I think it's a perma unless you appeal. He was Junior Member.

Actually, he was a full member, but he got juniored for posting too many threads trolling the shit out of Bernie fans. So the junior status only prevents him from making new threads, but it doesn't make regular bans insta-perms.

No, but this is a common complaint of PACs.

"Foreigners can influence our elections!"

Not sure where it comes from.

Oh well.

I'll have to settle for supporting our useless bunch over here. I don't suppose you guys would consider lending us a few competent liberals?

Cheers. :) I try not to make people's shit lists, so that's good to hear.

We'll give you our socialist to replace your socialist slash Labour leader. (I still can't believe ya'll went with Corbyn).

I don't get angry often, like when you called illegal immigrants a bunch of rapists and murderers, that was fine because those people are terrible. But when you retweeted a picture that mocked my wife's looks and shamelessly accused me of putting out that Melania picture meme in Utah that i'm totally fine with because it helps me, i'm mad as hell now. The muslim patrols just doubled.

The thing is, the former Blair-era leadership of the Labour party are the out of touch assholes who hate their base that Sanders supporters think the DNC is. Imagine if your choices for President in 2016 were Joe Lieberman, Evan Bayh, Mark Warner, and Bernie Sanders.

Remember, this is the guy the Republican Party is now getting behind because he espouses true conservative principles, as Jeb said.

That seems like a dreamrace compared to our side of the Channel!
If we're lucky we manage to get Sarkozy out of the race.
Otherwise we're going to have a race with
-unelectable nobodies,
-current molasses 1rst president we have no idea how he was elected who ran the country into a wall for the last 5 years,
-Nicolas fucking Sarkozy who we managed to get rid for the last 5 years
-Extreme right BS stirrer Marine Le Pen that no one wants to even look at in Canada.
I remember why I moved out of France now!

Pretty close.

Just add in a few more Wal-Marts and at least one barn with an anti-abortion message or something more broad like "FEAR GOD" and you're set.

What a lovely place. How I love evangelicals.

European politics is pretty much universally depressing at the moment if you're liberally inclined.

Speaking of.. Did you see Adam who the Browns signed today?

Oh god..

Fair point. I'd have probably held my nose and gone for Burnham if I had to, though. I'm still surprised that Milliband didn't work out for Labour. /sarcasm heavily implied.

I don't know how you can hate Ohio that much when they have Cedar Point

Ugh. Worst day I ever had in my life was at Cedar Point. My god, it was terrible. I went with someone who literally managed to get someone else's phone number in front of me. I ended up getting food poisoning. There were like 90 school groups there that day. It was pure shit.

I miss Geauga Lake, though.

Bernie is suing the DNC? For real?

I don't trust him. Why would he do this if he wants to avoid a third party run? He's way out of line.

I actually read up on it and it's not a big deal. But in Nov it will be twisted around to "even Bernie thinks she cheated"
 
Started from the bottom now...we're still totally in the bottom. : takes a shot or RG3 :
Hue is so fucked... He is so fucked.. They're gonna fire him year 2 and we will have nothing but the remains of RG3's corpse and tears again.

I got get my computer and get my haircut from a steelers fan.

Its not any worse then the time he initially filed the lawsuit, I had issues when he did it the first time, which is why I wished he would have dropped it, he probably will once the audit is finished but I still find the initial suit petty, especially considering the actual victim in this, Hilary, hasn't bothered to file anything.
 
does anyone know if you're a registered republican in ny if you can vote in the democratic primary

No you can't. It's a closed primary, and the deadline to change your registration has passed.

Deadline to register as a Dem is tomorrow. Just vote in fun race instead!

Actually, that's not technically true. If you're a registered Republican or an Independent, the last day to change your party registration was back on October 9th. If you've never registered before, you have until tomorrow to register.

2 more months. Just 2 more and this primary ends, reddit becomes readable again, the Trump nomination meltdown begins and conventions begin in earnest.
 
I swear if there was some international eminent domain system then some U.S. States would be stripped from America and given to other peoples who could doubtlessly make better use of them. Imagine what a great power Singapore would be if they had mere sovereignty over Alabama and Mississippi.

I think Sea Manky was the one who went off on states' rights (excellent post), but states like AL and MS really highlight how far behind some states get when they're free to avoid standards that the rest of the country uses. Right now, there are something like 500K Mississippians (1/6th of our population) who would qualify for the ACA if our state gov't would approve the expansion. It'll never happen, and I think that's wrong, even if some of those people voted for it in the first place.

is there a MS or AL Vitter waiting in the wings?
 
Is it weird that I kind of believe Cruz when he says he's going to beat Trump for the nomination? Trump has to do REALLY well from here on out to get the 500 delegates he needs to clinch it outright, and Cruz's campaign are such numbers and logistics wonks that I have to imagine they've crunched an at least somewhat credible path to denying Trump the nomination for themselves.

Also, does anybody buy that Cruz didn't know ANYTHING about the initial Melania ad? Maybe he didn't sign off on it, specifically, but I guarantee he has an "understanding" with his staff that they will use proxies to do dirty shit that Cruz, himself, can't afford to be associated with.

He won't win it with delegates before the convention, he may have some scheme to take it at the convention though.

Trump will dominate California and the Northeast and Indiana and West Virginia though.
