Posted by: elaine at August 06, 2015 06:13 AM (Y0Piu) 3 In a pretty "Up Yours" announcement, UPS has announced that they will continue to carry and deliver Trophy animals.. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 06, 2015 06:14 AM (VPLuQ) 4 I'm guessing Trump travels w/a hairdresser. Posted by: BignJames at August 06, 2015 06:16 AM (j7iSn) 5 Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, August 06, 2015. On this day in 1819 Norwich University was founded in Vermont as the first private military school in the United States. If you have ever read any W.E.B. Griffin military novels you will get familiar with Norwich. Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:17 AM (GpgJl) 6 Boner is not to happy with the turd king's remarks comparing members of congress (Republicans) to the Ayatollahs. But he really gave a weak-kneed response. http://fxn.ws/1UpDz2A Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:17 AM (GpgJl) 7 Morons if you are ever going to NYC or NJ leave your guns at home. Neither place recognizes the second amendment. But better yet, don't go to these two shitty places at all. Charleston is a much better city to visit than NYC anyway. Besides; it is a proven fact that places with strict gun control laws are the most dangerous places in the country. http://fxn.ws/1Dsq2D9 Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:17 AM (GpgJl) 8 LOL, The long-necked elasmosaur. http://fxn.ws/1OSw5Bh Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:17 AM (GpgJl) 9 The man shot by police at the TN theater had serious mental issues say police. http://fxn.ws/1IYv2S9 Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:18 AM (GpgJl) 10 16 States have asked Obama to put his insane and illegal coal plant rules on hold. Why do I say they are illegal, because the EPA has never provided any scientific basis for them as required by law. That has become common for their lawless behavior. But they are wasting their time, he has vowed to destroy coal which when he entered office supplied 50% of the country's generation. These rules are headed to court anyway. He has already lost his insane Hg rules. http://fxn.ws/1NbyIOi Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:18 AM (GpgJl) 11 The bipartisan panel investigating the IRS's illegal targeting of conservatives gets a whitewash. The Republicans pussed out. This was illegal as hell and should have been called that. It was not a mistake, it was intentional and it was directed by the WH. Nixon was about to be impeached for this crap. But alas, the Constitution and impeachment is lying in a pool of vomit at the feet of the goddess of law. http://fxn.ws/1MOxlb6 Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:18 AM (GpgJl) 12 KY historical panel refuses to bow to the race mongers and remove the statue of Jeff Davis. http://fxn.ws/1W3ghRG Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:18 AM (GpgJl) 13 Malaysia says that piece of a wing panel that was found on Reunion Island is part of the doomed flight 370. That is a small island near Madagascar and is a long long way from the flight path to Beijing. http://fxn.ws/1IYvShT Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:18 AM (GpgJl) 14 A federal appeals court has struck down the TX photo voter ID law. The Supreme Court has upheld these laws as long as certain conditions are met. And they are NOT discriminatory except for voters who are trying to apply vote fraud. I guess they will have to go to the Supremes. They used the BS disparate impact excuse. Even if disparate impact was a valid legal theory, evidence has shown that there is no impact. In SC when photo ID went into effect black voting INCREASED. http://fxn.ws/1W3gQLm Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:19 AM (GpgJl) 15 The Senate is now going after Obama illegal regulatory strategy of "sue and settle" with the eco-Nazis. We'll have to wait and see how this plays out. It appears they are trying to do some actions to reign in King Putt and is illegal shit. http://fxn.ws/1OSyHiL Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:19 AM (GpgJl) 16 FLAMING SKULL NY Post says the FBI probe of Scankles' e-mail is a criminal probe. I said yesterday I did not believe that crap about "security" for a minute. Now we will see if it is just another white wash. (I see Ace has a story on this up) http://bit.ly/1MQrD7J Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:19 AM (GpgJl) 17 And the MFM is spinning like Hell trying to downplay it. http://bit.ly/1KQWt0B Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:19 AM (GpgJl) 18 NASA is going to give $490M of your money to Pooty Poot. http://bit.ly/1OQU8ke Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:20 AM (GpgJl) 19 If you are unemployed you will really "like" this news. Obama is allowing an extra 1 million alien work permits a year. That's over and above the normal allotment. http://bit.ly/1W2n5Pu Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:20 AM (GpgJl) 20 "The man shot by police at the TN theater had serious mental issues say police." Medical Examiner reports that he is cured now. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 06, 2015 06:20 AM (VPLuQ) 21 Scankles is putting on her phony southern accent again while in SC. http://tws.io/1M4Li3a Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:20 AM (GpgJl) 22 NH is defunding PP even if the GOPe refuses. http://bit.ly/1eUDlAh Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:20 AM (GpgJl) 23 Bill Nye the phony science guy is still pushing the AGW scam even though there is no warming and the authors of the crap have admitted it was only a scheme to redistribute wealth. http://bit.ly/1Ea3AcK Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:21 AM (GpgJl) 24 ESPN has lost 3.2M subscribers. I think this is indicative of all TV. http://bit.ly/1K4KGpQ Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:21 AM (GpgJl) 25 Another illegal alien doing the murders that American will not do. Beats woman to death with a hammer. I guess we need a national conversation on hammers. http://bit.ly/1gKOYvC Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:21 AM (GpgJl) 26 Even more tit-for-tat evidence in Scankles' bribery schemes. She has been running a criminal enterprise for a long time. The FBI needs to look into this more than her damn private phone BS. http://bit.ly/1OQNWbO Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:22 AM (GpgJl) 27 The Daily Deals http://amzn.to/1eUFAna That's it for today folks. Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:22 AM (GpgJl) 28 Thanks for the news, Vic. Posted by: elaine at August 06, 2015 06:25 AM (Y0Piu) 29 Debate? Can we hope there will be some terrible accident and it goes all Lord of the Flies? Posted by: Anna Puma at August 06, 2015 06:25 AM (63D73) 30 Let's hope more states follow NH's lead on defunding PP. Posted by: elaine at August 06, 2015 06:27 AM (Y0Piu) 31 "Can we hope there will be some terrible accident and it goes all Lord of the Flies?" Even a scene from the movie Scanners could give some comedic relief from what promises to be a snooze-fest of understated non-rhetoric. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 06, 2015 06:28 AM (VPLuQ) 32 Good Amazon deals, including "Young People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn for only $1.99. "A great book that looks at history from a perspective not taught in textbooks." Kid's daily deal. Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:28 AM (zEIsr) 33 VIA or they go all Nagasaki on each other. Posted by: Anna Puma at August 06, 2015 06:29 AM (63D73) 34 B'more has another night with no reported homicides. This is three nights in a row. Could be a much needed trend developing. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 06, 2015 06:29 AM (VPLuQ) 35 NYC/NJ gun laws. You would think what with all the news stories, people would learn by now. But being a news junkie, I guess there are people who don't follow the news very closely. Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:31 AM (zEIsr) 36 32 Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:28 AM (zEIsr) Why would any parent want their kid to read an anti-American history book written by a communist? Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:31 AM (GpgJl) 37 DAY 1,003 460 to go (533 to Inauguration Day 2017) Muzzies, Marxists, Maoists, Mau-Maus, MFM's, Moochelle, Mao-suits, McCain's, McConnell's, Mahdi megatons, machiavellian Mississippi mudslingers, McAuliffe's, Maduro's, MIRV's, Mexifornians, mewling mattress myth manufacturers, marriage maimers, menacing Mozillan 'mo's, Myrmidons, Mugwumps, Monrovian microbes, mutants, malcontents, malthusians, maniacs, malignant medical mandates, martial law, miscreants, microaggressors, minions, maladjusted masochistic multiculturalists, momzers, mamalukes, mooks, mopes, mariuoli, meeskeits, maricons, marauders, malodorous militants, menstruating mons veneri, malfunctioning Moron microsites and miscellaneous meshugas notwithstanding. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 06, 2015 06:32 AM (St6BJ) 38 B'more has another night with no reported homicides. This is three nights in a row. Could be a much needed trend developing. It's those federal agents working there now. Makes all the difference. Federal agents are more professional, higher quality, better paid and more motivated than private contractors. Just look at TSA screeners at the airports. Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:33 AM (zEIsr) 39 So, Jeff Flake and Lisa Murkowski are hinting that they might actually vote for this fucking sham Iran deal. Even with a fake kabuki mask, they vote with SCOAMF to start World War 3. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 06, 2015 06:33 AM (St6BJ) 40 "VIA or they go all Nagasaki on each other." I can't see neutron activity level reaching anywhere near the needed point. Same with neurons. We're basically talking mental flatlines dressed in suits. I expect the highest level of energy and enthusiasm to come from Mr Trump's head merkin. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 06, 2015 06:33 AM (VPLuQ) 41 This is pretty and almost Munchkin-land ish... http://www.ufunk.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/AirPano-Project-photography-22.jpg Posted by: Anna Puma at August 06, 2015 06:34 AM (63D73) 42 32 Good Amazon deals, including "Young People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn for only $1.99. "A great book that looks at history from a perspective not taught in textbooks." Kid's daily deal. Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:28 AM (zEIsr) Is this snark, or since I don't recognize the handle, do we have a troll this morning? Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 06, 2015 06:34 AM (St6BJ) 43 I'm guessing Trump travels w/a hairdresser. - A blind hairdresser? Posted by: The Great White Snark at August 06, 2015 06:35 AM (LImiJ) 44 VIA or they go all Nagasaki on each other. Posted by: Anna Puma at August 06, 2015 06:29 AM My guess is that the wannabes will all be hot 'n' heavy of bashing teh Donald. No doubt their handlers have told them they have to prove their johnsons are bigger than his, so I expect a lot of Trump-bashing ("he has no experience like weeee do!" "he's not a Nice Man!" etc.) while the real traitors and felons like Choom Boy and Shrillery get ignored. Of course they will not emulate Trump's directness and honest statements. That would be going to far for a politician. Posted by: MrScribbler at August 06, 2015 06:35 AM (0atQl) 45 VIA, Trump's hair acts like a nuclear damper. So... Posted by: Anna Puma at August 06, 2015 06:36 AM (63D73) 46 By the way, if you examine Zinn's book you'll notice that there are zero footnotes. That should tell you that this nasty piece of work belongs next to such "brilliance" as "Mein Kampf." Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 06, 2015 06:36 AM (St6BJ) 47 I'm guessing Trump travels w/a hairdresser. So that's what you do with that underwater basket weaving degree? Posted by: elaine at August 06, 2015 06:37 AM (Y0Piu) 48 Why would any parent want their kid to read an anti-American history book written by a communist? It has good reviews. If one were a red diaper baby raised by pinkos, and wanted your kids to follow the party line and win a place in government or academia working with like minded people, why wouldn't you? Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:37 AM (zEIsr) 49 G-d bless Oppenheimer, Fermi, Szilard, Teller and the rest. Way way down on that list is an uncle who fled Germany at the last minute and was a tool and die maker at University of Chicago, who made a few components of the reactor at Stagg Field. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 06, 2015 06:38 AM (St6BJ) 50 Who tonight will have the consciousness of a conservative and a moral compass ? Paging Mr. Goldwater? Posted by: Back in The Day at August 06, 2015 06:38 AM (/WmRg) 51 46 By the way, if you examine Zinn's book you'll notice that there are zero footnotes. That should tell you that this nasty piece of work belongs next to such "brilliance" as "Mein Kampf." Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 06, 2015 06:36 AM (St6BJ) I had never heard of this guy until I checked out his American History book from the library. I read the first chapter and though gee, this guy is an asshole. I skimmed the second chapter, then looked at excerpts from several more. I took it back to the library. That was one hour of my life I will never get back. Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:39 AM (GpgJl) 52 "Is this snark?" "Yes," he said firmly. Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:40 AM (zEIsr) 53 Will the debate be: 1) comedy gold 2) horror show 3) romancing the trump 4) political x-games 5) meh, a nothing burger with fries Posted by: artisanal 'ette at August 06, 2015 06:40 AM (qCMvj) 54 Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:28 AM (zEIsr) Yeah, I always look to Howard Zinn for Deep Thoughts. Posted by: The Great White Snark at August 06, 2015 06:40 AM (LImiJ) 55 I wonder if Trump has already loaded up the water carafes with vodka for tonight's debate? Posted by: Anna Puma at August 06, 2015 06:41 AM (63D73) 56 53 Will the debate be: 1) comedy gold 2) horror show 3) romancing the trump 4) political x-games 5) meh, a nothing burger with fries Posted by: artisanal 'ette at August 06, 2015 06:40 AM (qCMvj) You left out waste of time Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:41 AM (GpgJl) 57 So, Jeff Flake and Lisa Murkowski are hinting that they might actually vote for this fucking sham Iran deal. Even with a fake kabuki mask, they vote with SCOAMF to start World War 3. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 06, 2015 06:33 AM They are far from alone, JJ. There's little doubt Bitch McConnell has engineered the whole deal so that those few "Republicans" whose campaigns need some I'm-not-a-traitor cred can vote "no" while the deal slides through the Senate like a turd down a chrome drainpipe. Posted by: MrScribbler at August 06, 2015 06:42 AM (0atQl) 58 Vic is more than likely correct - a waste of time. Unless someone brings a chainsaw. Posted by: Anna Puma at August 06, 2015 06:42 AM (63D73) 59 You left out waste of time Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:41 AM (GpgJl) yet it will probably be the "most watched" Posted by: artisanal 'ette at August 06, 2015 06:42 AM (qCMvj) 60 That thing tonight is not a 'debate' by any measure. It is a news media 'talent' feeding a set up line to a candidate who will then issue a sound bite on command.

Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:43 AM (zEIsr) The debate before the debate is another good viewer grab for Fox. There are enough interesting people there to have you watch both. Posted by: artisanal 'ette at August 06, 2015 06:44 AM (qCMvj) 63 I still want to see a debate format where all the human candidates are on one side. And Trump's head weasel is on the other side debating each other. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 06, 2015 06:45 AM (VPLuQ) 64 That is very interesting J.J. Sefton, to have someone who helped in even a small way. So many brilliant and talented people were persecuted and made to flee and those same people helped forge and use the weapons that would defeat the governments that had tortured them.

Now I'm confoozed again. by the by, the FBI investingation about Hillary!'s server: is this the Obama admin's way of helping her get the whole thing out of the way early or the Obama admin's version giving Hillary the Pearl Harbor treatment?

It is a criminal investigation of her. I think JarJar and the Turd king are going to sink her ass right into jail. Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:51 AM (GpgJl) 79 There are enough interesting people.. Now I am intrigued. You might entice me to watch. Trump/Fiorina, I could vote for just for the entertainment value of watching the news media heads exploding for eight years. Watching TV news anchors reduced to red faced impotent sputtering indignation would warm my black heart. Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 06:51 AM (zEIsr) 80 What's Vexed? I've been watching UnReal, which was a hoot and a trainwreck, all at once. Posted by: elaine at August 06, 2015 06:52 AM (Y0Piu) 81 76 I wouldn't carry it in my pocket.

Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:53 AM (GpgJl) 83 I wonder two things. 1. Will Kasich's anti-schizophrenia medication last the entire night? 2. Will Kasich tell his handlers he is wearing the same Garanimals underwear as that day in 4th grade when he defeated the schoolyard bully? 3. Who gets the Cecil the Lion question? 4. Will they let the audience drink? Drinking leads to cheering and generally over all more interesting debates, and orgies, too, I've found. 5.I wonder why I wondered five things when I only started out wondering two. 6. Whether Megyn Kelly have her hair slicked back in the style popular among high-priced Paris hookers, because I sure hope so. Posted by: @PeeteySDee at August 06, 2015 06:53 AM (B77dy) 84 oh good instapundit (or maybe Vic brought it up above..) WELL, GOOD: Navy: No charges against officer for weapons violations in Chattanooga attack. "Lt. Cmdr. Tim White, the Navy officer who fired a sidearm in defense during the attack on Navy Operational Support Center in Chattanooga, Tenn., will not face charges, an official familiar with the investigation told Stars and Stripes on Wednesday. White was reported to be one of two servicemembers carrying sidearms at the time of the attack, which could have led to charges. The Department of Defense prohibits all military personnel other than security forces from carrying arms while on base unless they are in a combat zone." I suspected this, but you never know these days. Now change the stupid policy. Posted by: artisanal 'ette at August 06, 2015 06:53 AM (qCMvj) 85 Looking at a picture of that bastard, Farrakhan's face looks extremely bloated from chemo. I'd say he deserves a painful death, but too many people fall into that category. Posted by: J.J.

Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 06:54 AM (GpgJl) 88 I wonder two things. 1. Will Kasich's anti-schizophrenia medication last the entire night? 2. Will Kasich tell his handlers he is wearing the same Garanimals underwear as that day in 4th grade when he defeated the schoolyard bully? 3. Who gets the Cecil the Lion question? 4. Will they let the audience drink? Drinking leads to cheering and generally over all more interesting debates, and orgies, too, I've found. 5.I wonder why I wondered five things when I only started out wondering two. 6.

Posted by: Vic at August 06, 2015 07:05 AM (GpgJl) 118 Hehe. from pjmedia's roger simon I'll deal with the undercard first because it's a bit sad. I don't think anybody on the undercard is going to go very far in the election after Thursday except Carly Fiorina, but as a vice-presidential candidate, alas. I say "alas" because Carly has been the most articulate candidate from either party so far by a significant amount, in my view. She's certainly the best at answering questions, for what that's worth, which admittedly isn't everything. (Obama has made me skeptical about whether good campaigners make good presidents. They seem totally different skills. Some have both, but not many.) Nevertheless, I'd like to see Carly in the next administration and I know I'm not alone. But I don't know what she could say on Thursday that would improve her lot that she hasn't already said. Maybe a bigger audience will help, but being on the undercard doesn't help with that. (BTW, apropos Carly, according to a just-released study from Grammarly, Fiorina's Facebook fans have the best grammar, spelling and punctuation of all Republican candidates at only 6.3 errors per 100 words. Trump's fans came in last at 12.6 errors per hundred words.) two points 1 - yes, fingers crossed Carly comes out of this 2nd tier "debate" on top (from what I've seen so far, I like her) 2 - he's right about being skeptical of good debaters. I mentioned this yesterday, it's a rare bird to have both great communication skills AND the leadership skills required or expertise required, etc. I've noticed over the years that many that bubble to top are just good BS'ers, and that's it. They have a certain level of intelligence or skills, but their talking is what pushes them forward. Romney was a perfect example. Among many other reasons for his failure, he sucked at debating. He may be a good leader or manager, but debating? Please Cruz, show us your stuff tonight and here on out.

Sefton at August 06, 2015 07:08 AM (St6BJ)" Ok, now you have piqued my curiosity. I know graphite 'moderates' neutrons, (fast neutrons?) but I don't know what happens to the graphite. If it has been exposed to a high level of neutrons in a reactor core. . . Well, hell Vic knows. From the wiki, carbon-14 decays to nitrogen by emitting a beta particle which would be easily blocked by the lucite. So could be 'from' the core when it was dismantled. I assume it was eventually dismantled. (Which is why first assumptions have to be re-examined as more data is accumulated.) Pardon my verbosity, I must still be drunk from last night. At least I didn't reach stage two which is 'bellicose'. That would be a bad thing. Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 07:21 AM (zEIsr) 149 65 What else is on teh teevee tonight?

Posted by: V the K at August 06, 2015 07:30 AM (O7MnT) 169 I dreamed last night that the missus and I were at some sort of solo performance by an artist playing an instrument. Y'know, a stereotypical gathering of tweedy lefties smugly admiring the "artistry" of the performer. Anyway, the missus had brought along an instrument case from which came, at regular intervals, the sound of a ball bearing rolling around. This went on for a while until, finally, one of the tweedy lefties in the audience turned to us/her and said, "Time for you to go." At which point, the missus opened the case which contained the same instrument as the artist was playing and a glass tube from which the supply of small ball bearings had been falling. As I pushed back in the loose cork which had allowed the bearings to escape, the missus responded to the demand that we leave with, "Why, because I have her very own instrument?"

Posted by: Lest Blastmacher at August 06, 2015 07:37 AM (zEIsr) Civilization advances whenever advances in energy make it more abundant and less expensive. The opposite is true when energy is less available and more expensive. If we want to bring back manufacturing, develop new industries and increase the quality of life for everyone, we should shoot for a goal of unlimited electrical power that is too cheap to meter. This is easily achieved with nuclear power, but due to regulation, liability, waste and the old practice of building nuke plants as one-off prototypes, the government and anti-nuke interest groups have blocked progress. Nuclear power is one of the few things that need government intervention, just because of the nature of the fuel. Overnight, the government can make 500 sites available that can't be stopped for years in lawsuits. With the stroke of a pen, all the waste and liability issues can be waived. With one decision, a single design can be established so that all the components could be manufactured at a fraction of the normal cost. With a dispersed group of 500 reactors producing more power than the country can use, new industries that are power intensive would spring up. It would make no sense to have a steel, aluminum or other metals plant anywhere but the U.S. Heavy manufacturing that rely on energy like forging and casting would be far cheaper in the U.S. than anywhere else. Just like the highway system, providing a national electrical supply would benefit everyone. Here's your stimulus. Posted by: jwest at August 06, 2015 07:59 AM (P/xrJ) 221 The most interesting thing about the debate already is that I haven't met or talked to a single person who has even one nice thing to say about Bush, Huckabee or Kasich, let alone who would vote for them.

Numerous people have told me they aren't even turning on the television because they miss the first ten minutes, get mad, and turn it back off. Scrolling through also infuriates since 450 of the channels are in Spanish. The channel "guide" is approximately 18" by 30" (with teeny-tiny print) so looking at it while trying to hold a remote control is like driving with a map in front of your face. The people who can afford the $200 per month cable lineup are very unhappy. We made an index card with the 7-8 channels we watch and are close to having them memorized.

So he told NASA to make a satellite to do that. Hunnert mil or two later, satellite gets benched because it's stupid (and the Repubs wanted to rub Gore's nose in a pile of hanging chads). Fast forward to Barky's election, satellite gets pulled out of storage, refitted, and launched. Funny thing is, back in the 90's when Gore came up with the idea, a kid I had gone to high school with wrote a program for Macs that automatically found the latest weather satellite pics, stitched them into a globe, and made it the computer's desktop wallpaper. Program was selling for a few tens of dollars. I mean, why spend the same as a decent dinner when you could spend half a billion, right?

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Fiorina emerge as a star. The top tier debate is full of bullshit artists and will be a dog and pony show, full of rhetoric and lacking in substance. Most will emerge the worse for wear and will never get back up again. In the end, we'll get to see the best of each debate challenge each other and that should be a good debate.

Posted by: AnonymousDrivel at August 06, 2015 08:17 AM (1CroS) 244 We need to kick the JEF out of office now and give each republican candidate a month to show us his/her chops. The one with the most scalps wins. Posted by: Fritz at August 06, 2015 08:17 AM (UzPAd) 245 Posted by: Agent J at August 06, 2015 08:11 AM The debate rules are that if anyone "attacks" another candidate the one "attacked" gets 30 seconds to respond. They either stay away from Trump or he has the stage for the entire night. I think Fox and the RNC came up with these rules before Trump. The rules were probably written for mushy Jeb! but it has backfired. Posted by: Lester at August 06, 2015 08:18 AM (2UPXV) 246 This is hhow I hope the debate goes down... It starts off normal enough. Suddenly Trumps hair scurries across the stage and jumps on Jeb's face. Rand Paul tries to pull it off but it bites his finger off so he screams and backs away. Cruz picks up a laptop and begins beating the hairy thing attached to Jeb's face until it falls off and latches on to Ted's leg. He runs in circles while Huck cries "oh the humanity!" and Walker makes his move. He beats the thing with a mic stand until it lets go of Ted's leg but by now Donald is trying to get his hair under control and tackles Scott. The hair jumps back on Donald's head but it is on backwards. Kasich laughs but is punched in the face by Trump. Ben Carson slowly backs off stage never to be seen again. Rubio stands there with his mouth agape but manages to sputter "goobsih" whilst Christie eats all of the donuts while no one is watching. Carly runs in fixes the laptop and the debate continues.

Trump buys stage, tells everyone to get off Posted by: rickb223 at August 06, 2015 08:13 AM It is in the Quicken Loan stadium or some such. He leverages Quicken Inc. today and they hand him a OFF switch to fight off the takeover. Posted by: Lester at August 06, 2015 08:23 AM (2UPXV) 249 There was also something about talking otters and the Eleventh Doctor. It was pretty weird.
