6 Carley rocked. Kaysick, or however he tries to spell his name, came in a strong second.

7 gotta say, having purposely refrained from following the bs this cycle, it was TOO MUCH hearing the same old bs and the same old cheering roar pro-Orwellian life as we know it

I did hear enough, responses from candidates, to recognize.

Think about that last post, and ask yourself who out of the remaining candidates can heal this mess?

Not just lead economically and in terms of national security, but heal the nation from what that MOTUS has wrought.

18 The best "debate" so far.

I mean, it's still not a debate in the actual sense because of so little time, but at least it wasn't "Senator Cruz, when did you stop beating your wife?" type of bullshit from the other three.

19 Oh yay! I was hoping you guys would do a debate podcast. Thank you!

Also, I should have said this on rdbrewer's second art post but got distracted by pound cake: Thank you to all of you have served and fought in combat. You are some of the best people in this country. Happy Veterans Day.

But, I can't listen just yet. Huge fans on so the alarms don't go off while the oven is at 425. It seems to do that, sensitive system, sets them all off like dominoes.

If it is someone who knows what they are doing. Knows the in's and out's of Congress, and hires the best, they will just start ticking stuff off the list right away. Exec. Orders to start with.

A real leader will see this as a great challenge and dive in.

Who can talk to ALL the people and heal this divide is what I really want to know.

I think many of them can. Even Christie, I have to say.

Off we go, into the peace group yonder
Looking for some hippies to chase!
There's a creep, tearing our flag asunder
At 'em boys, stomp on his face!

Raise the flag over the land of freedom,
We'll preserve Liberty's ways.
Those sinking reds,
We'll break their heads!

Nothing can stop the hard hats today!

34 Think about that last post, and ask yourself who out of the remaining candidates can heal this mess?

None of them. No one politician can. This mess is not going to sort out because we elect someone or a lot of someones. It is cultural, local, family, social. We can only fix this ourselves. It won't hurt to elect someone more capable, sane, and American in office to stop feeding the fire, but reversing this? Not a political thing.

39 last thread bemoaned no common ground

America's common ground has been our LIBERTY defined through the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Once gaining our Independence, people who came to the USA expected to personally work hard and enjoy an equitable degree of "liberty and justice". When we divert, we misuse government, suffer abuses, and ultimately self destruct.

Plato wrote there is no bad form of government, only misuse of form. Regardless of structure, the honest application determines "good" government, of intelligent justice to LAW. Do not elect undisciplined/dishonest persons to govern.

Without a sure foundation, no amount of military prowess will deliver security, let alone freedom.

Self Responsibility is Required of Liberty.

If we can't be honest with ourselves, our entire perspective is skewed, and all our efforts for naught. Beam/Mote.

I concur with ChristopherT. I think this is a spiritual problem. Mother Teresa used to talk about the spiritual poverty of advanced nations and how it was just as destructive as material and physical poverty. That's the problem we have in this country. I don't put my faith in government doing much to help any of us.

Charles Koch, who leads Koch Industries with his brother David, told the paper that he has no plans to pick a candidate to back financially in the primaries, perhaps signalling that he isnt happy with the current state of his party.

My response: Hrumph.

Someone will demand free cruise ships be sent to their point of origin to transport them to wherever they want to go in luxury and safety.

There can not be peaceful coexistence between those who live to control others and those who refuse to be controlled. Before now there was always an "out there somewhere" that could be escaped to, but unless the Offworld Colonies are developed pretty quick here (which they can't be in an age of hyper-liability and risk aversion) there will simply * have* to be a reworking of the dynamic.

As usual, it would have been better if the controllers had been slapped down hard to begin with, but humans just don't seem to work that way.

Thanks, Polliwog. I'm saving that.

Wow, thanks. I grew up in Colorado 30 years ago and have seen what happens when those with the "Will to Power" aren't stopped as soon as they try to control those around them.

193 The head of the student body at Mizz-who alleged the racial attacks and that the KKK was on campus made four visits to the WH. What a surprise!!/sarc.

194 Didn't Kaysuck have a stint at Lehman during the out years? If so, that explains why he doesn't know shit about the banking system.

Very simply, and I don't know that much shit about it either, banks have a capital structure. If a bank is in such bad shape that the depositors are in danger, then someone is asleep at the regulatory switch. That is really bad.

What should've been done is to take the failing banks out and shoot them. In the capital structure, the first to go is the shareholders, those who hold equity in the bank. Then comes the bondholders. And there are several layers in that mess. And then finally, the depositors.

If you run a bank poorly, you, the owners, lose your asses.

If necessary, the TARP money (and a fraction of it) could've been used to recapitalize new banks made of the depositors of the old banks, with the old banks management and shareholder and perhaps bondholders losing their asses.

But private profits and social losses is what cronyism is all about.

195 Ace and crew, please take up the TPP deal in some detail. This seems to be the whole ball of wax for this once-sovereign country. Is it almost over?

196 Gotta have the soma to keep the betas, gammas, and deltas contented.

Didn't the alphas get the occasional hit of soma, as well? When they weren't playing "button, button, who's got the button?"

197 Was enjoying the podcast at work until talk turned to Hillary and how Republicans wanted to control how she used her body, and had to stop or would have had a seizure. JohnE started it and Ace finished it.
