Not to mention the fact that their solution to "child predators will go in to the bathroom with your daughters" is "force them to go to the bathroom with your sons." They're only concerned about little girls getting molested, I guess.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It blows my mind that Scott Walker survived all of this. He is a terrible candidate that will run again in 2020 and he'll basically be another Cruz.
What's the Fonz doing here?
Wait it all makes sese

Have you ever worked labor, ever? Agriculture, janitorial and cleaning positions, most factory jobs...
Factory jobs are all on their way to being automated. We've already managed to turn 30 jobs into 10, and that's being kind the truth is it's probably worse than that.

I think my favorite moment that would be most similar to that was when reporters were asking about Jebs Anchor babies comment, back when he was still trying to somewhat play nice with Trump. And wanted to back up himself and not call the term trump has been using racist and said "Anchor Baby's frankly are more Asian people"

What cracks me up about the transgender bathroom issue is: Where in the world do these people think "they" were using for restrooms before this controversy started? Why did no one care then?
It's normal for controversial issues to become politicized, but this is an example where something only became controversial because it was politicized. In those circumstances, it's challenging to think people are arguing in good faith.

Same as people being against the Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal.
"I don't want to be in the army with a GAY GUY! He might check out my ass!"
It's like, are you just a complete fucking moron?
Trump played Ted like a fucking fiddle in Indy. Seriously, this shit was actually masterful, no sarcasm
Yup, you're watching an artist at work. I really hope Hillary tears him apart. I feel like the exactly opposite is going to happen in the GE and Hillary will be on the Trump side of that paper.

Grown Men using the same bathrooms as our sons?! We never should have gotten rid of children only bathrooms, it's the only way to be safe.

I don't think changing degrees should void free tuition. Having a limit on it, maybe, but I think most people don't know exactly what they want to study when they start, or don't like what they thought they'd want to study as much as they thought they would. That shouldn't be punished
I was thinking Tom of Finland actually
I don't actually agree, because I think people have a natural desire to produce labor. But even if you're right, who cares? We don't have a moral imperative to produce as much as possible, we have a moral imperative to not threaten people with death.
To be clear, I stated a belief, not a claim. There's an important distinction there.
But I would observe that there are already significant welfare states in other countries that don't result in significant loss of labor.
As far as I can tell your claim about welfare policy pre-Clinton is just nonsense. Can you provide that evidence?
Have you never seen a Wal-Mart greeter?
I take issue with most of this list, but, I mean, my point remains. If those jobs are really so vital that society would collapse without them then we'll just have to compensate them correctly so that people are willing to do those jobs. That should be easy, since they're adding so much value that they're keeping society functioning.

The Right is so fucking mad at Cruz right now for having enabled Trump for so many months. They're really just unloading on him right now on Twitter.
They weren't really necessary if they disappear before firms raise wages

Looks pretty innocuous to me since everyone seems to be waiting their turn for a single-toilet bathroom.
WAIT TED
WAITED
What about Buffalo Bill?
But seriously, if Silence of the Lambs is any indication, fear of the gender noncomforming is deeply ingrained in our society.
He wasn't actually trans, just insane. In the book Johns Hopkins denied him reassignment surgery because he failed the psych eval (or whatever it's called).

Inertia. This is why most pundits stay on TV. They're available and comfortable on TV.

Possible record turnout being reported across Lake County. Would be instrumental to a Clinton and Trump victory

Trumps really going to be the Nominee.
10 months ago people were saying he would never get to this point.
I think we're witnessing something that will be recorded in the annals of history.

Wowza. This is going to be interesting.
I'd correct your spelling, but I agree with the sentiment.
Examples?
I am still pinching myself. This is really happening. The GOP base has finally lost it, and at the best possible time. The only way this could be better is if this had happened in a redistricting cycle.
Still: Wow.

It would have been a really close race this year, too, but then the GOP screwed it all up for themselves.
I wonder if Don ever thought he'd get this far, or if he is kept awake at night with fears that this has gone on much further than he ever imagined and now he's in this deep.

I don't know what he's talking about. It's where Fort Wayne is but if his assessment is that its the most populous county that's the rest like how Indiana will vote, he's wrong.
so what counties are we looking at for tonight?
I wish I wasn't at work so I could watch this. 😩
Seriously, I could use the laugh.
With social movements like this there's always going to be a hurdle to get over because honestly a lot of people weren't thinking about transgendered people or gay guys in the military until people started pushing for the legal right to choose the bathroom they want, or to serve openly. It's always going to be easier to support equal rights in the abstract, less so when you're given a concrete reality to deal with. Especially if you're not in an urban area or a place where you're exposed to these ideas or different kinds of people earlier, I understand the defensive attitude, even if that attitude falls apart under scrutiny.

I thought so too
But then last week he kinda broke down, became the first loser in the history of elections to pick a VP before they were even nominated, and this week decided to fight some Trump supporters.
Sad!
He's the equivalent of Shadow Link at the end of Adventure of Link, where getting to his boss chamber is more difficult than the actual final fight.

Yeah. I'll admit I'm looking at those three counties because their 2008 totals were the closest to the overall state vote.
Indiana has too many counties.
