I think I've read all of the posts. Has anyone mentioned the eery similarity between Donald Trump and Idiocracy?
PS: Good memes.

Before switching on our movie on Saturday we stumbled upon the Repub debate. Mesmerizing and hard to switch off.
Kinda like our two 12yr olds going after each other when sugar levels are low. |

I watched it for the first time, this last time as well! I was done skiing, and too tired to do anything but watch bad TV, and it sure fit the bill. We had to turn it off because it got my wife to riled up.
It really, really was like The Jerry Springer Show.

| The scotus thing heightens the nonsense factor of this campaign. Civil political discourse is circling the drain. It's sad. Esp when you consider it's very likely that the next pres will get to nominate 2-3 new justices. Both sides are technically right to their side of the fight. And both sides risk a lot by choosing their strategy. This could all go very wrong for the repubs in the small likelihood that the senate could flip (or go to 50/50) and the dems keep the presidency. Can't really fillibuster for 5 years. |

Some good analyses below from our guys in Washington

Gotta love this part...
If, as Christians believe, Jesus Christ someday reappears, strolling down from Bethany toward Jerusalem's Golden Gate, conservative Americans would probably hail him as a Republican, but on reflection, not really fit to serve on the Supreme Court.
He might not be enthusiastic enough about guns, his ideas on wealth redistribution are just plain socialism, he likely wouldn't be keen on injecting criminals with lethal chemicals, he'd no doubt urge clemency for all the millions of illegal immigrants doing America's scut work and, as a Jew, he might even have a compromise view of abortion. |

A probably non-white young male from the middle east in humble attire calling himself Jesus? True conservatives would be fighting to be the first to hand him deportation papers. "But I'm Jewish" isn't going to help.
Chinook, that "scotus thing" - isn't that mixing politics with bicycle seats?

Chinook, I agree. Surely Dem. strategists are comparing options:
Nominate a moderate who has the best chance of Senate consent this year,
or take a chance by nominating a liberal. If the liberal is rejected, the fiasco may hurt the Repubs next fall and if Hilary wins will ease confirmation of her liberal nominees. (But if she loses, the court gets a conservative rather than a moderate).

No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith.
Uh, Donny....I think that is exactly what a religious leader is supposed to do. But never mind that, given your statement above, please explain your recent tweet where you question Ted Cruz's claims that he is an Evangelical Christian?
Seriously...who the hell is supporting this idiot? I have yet to meet anyone that actually is, but clearly (too) many are. |

All this is pure entertainment gold! Watching these folks put the noose around their own necks day after day.
As long as the voters sober up and pick qualified leader by November. |

Does anyone else think this feels like a real-life article from The Onion ?
