Rubio sucks. He can't get traction on substance because he has none so now he's parroting Trump's lines on Cruz. I want to see Cruz rip him apart with a rap in the debate then walk over and drop him with a weak hand jab. Go away Rubio, you non-value added petulant little bottom feeder.

Wednesday Weirdness:
We've already been Vic-free the past couple of days. That's unsettling enough. Then, yesterday, we had no morning thread, just went directly from the overnight to the headlines. Remember? Well... Yesterday, I went to look at something in the headlines thread and it was missing. In the "recent entries" list in the left-hand column on the front page, there was the Overnight, there was the Art thread, but no Headline post in between. Wasn't there in the "next" link on the Overnight page-without-comments, either. So I turned to the February archives. http://ace.mu.nu/archives/2016_02.php At first it didn't seem to be there, either, but 'way down this list, you can find "Wednesday News Dump 2/17/16 [Misanthropic Humanitarian]" in between "Morning Thread (2-16-2015)" and "Tuesday Morning News Dump 2/16/16 [Misanthropic Humanitarian]." That's what the previous/next links say on the post-only not-the-comments versions as well. http://ace.mu.nu/archives/361566.php For no reason I can figure out. It's not the post number. It's just... down there. In case anybody was looking. Morning (whatever morning the hamsters think it is), Glories! Posted by: mindful webworker - archivally at February 18, 2016 06:31 AM (SqM8E) 14

I just watched all of MSNBC's Trump Town Hall from last night.
And I'm about to type some words I never thought I'd type. Anyone who's ever read my posts knows I hate the vast majority of the MSM with the fire of a thousand suns. And last night's hosts, Scarborough and Mika, have been two of my long-time favorite targets. But fair is fair. The format was fantastic, the hosts were excellent, the audience participation was handled perfectly, and the entire production was pure class. And I have to say, neither FNC or CNN could have (or would have) pulled it off like MSNBC did. I'm actually praising MSNBC. And Joe and Mika. I feel like I'm in Bizzaro land today, but so be it. Now I want to see ALL the candidates do one just like it, ESPECIALLY Cruz. I think...no, I KNOW that Cruz could get his message out to the independents if given a forum and a format that is fair and balanced, and I have no doubt he could get MSNBC to do it if he wanted to do it. MSNBC. Fair and balanced. I don't know what the hell is going on anymore. (I cut the cable 8 months ago, so I'm serious, I really don't know much of what's going on anymore with cable news.) But, would MSNBC be as fair with Cruz? Trump IS tight with Joe and Mika, after all. Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at February 18, 2016 06:51 AM (HMt16) 32

US Highway 75 is the corridor that connects here to Tulsa. It's how I go to visit Mom. Along the way is a major Wal-Mart distribution center, so you see their trucks constantly.
The other day, six Wal-Mart trucks, another truck, and car were hit by bullets. No injuries. Union thugs? Black lives matterers? Muslim snipers? None of the above, it seems. Yesterday, two teenagers were arrested. Dad of one of them tipped off the police that they were out "hunting" at the time of the vehicle shootings. Crisis, apparently, over.

Good morning all
From this date in 1944- Anzio, Italy Feb 18, 1944 - The EZ Dog Journal Attack continues. German infantry have pushed ours back about three thousand yards on the main salient below Carroceto. He seemed to be rushing in reserves (est at 14 Bns) at that point. Our Artillery laid down a terrific barrage. All attacks repelled. Plans for CA tomorrow made up. Carroceto => crossroads known as "The Factory" was fulcrum of the Anzio campaign. Bns = battalions CA = counterattack When your beachhead is only 7-10 miles deep, being pushed back 3000 yards (1.7 miles) is pretty darned significant. The Germans were determined to push the Allies back into the Tyrrhenian Sea, and this next few days will be the main thrust. Posted by: Seamus Muldoon at February 18, 2016 07:09 AM (NeFrd) 54

Donald Trump announces on June 16. Hallelujah, you know how to handle this, you've done this before! You have a strategy.

Re: Kruschev and the unintended vagaries of history and technology.
In 1960 Kennedy successfully ran for President by exploiting the issue of a "Missile Gap" between the US and the USSR. Supposedly the US trailed the Soviets in missile technology. Which was sort of true. The US trailed the Soviets in heavy lift missiles because the other parts of the US nuclear triad were so overwhelmingly superior. In particular our nuke design was so much better that we could make the war heads smaller and so did not need as much heavy lift capacity as the Russkies needed to lift their huge, crude warheads. It takes a lot of rocket power to orbit a payload. So when it came time for the space race, the USSR had heavier lift to orbit capability because of their crude nuke designs. Our heavy lift designs --Atlas, Titan, Saturn -- were still in the testing phases because we didn't need them as much. All the public saw was the showy satellite orbits which is what JFK exploited. The classified U-2 intelligence proved there was no ICBM missile gap. That was bad for Kchev but good for JFK. Because JFK was a just a lying Democrat doing what lying Democrats do.

Dr. Everett Piper, Okla. Wesleayan University ...an obedient, humble, and "foolish" follower of Christ... http://bit.ly/1SU3S3c ♦ I finally heard something not-so-great about OkWU last night. Milady tells me that our son the pizza delivery guy says, when they get an order from OkWU, teacher or student, they never tip. Me, I'd tell 'em they can come pick it up or order elsewhere, but I ain't the boss, and neither is our underpaid, overworked son. Not like it hurts the pizza place profits any. (Our daughter the sometime waitress says there are many "Christians" who won't tip, but will leave a pamphlet. "Spiritual" folks unclear on life in the real world.)

>>Red State Residents Question Plan to Block Court Pick<< Short version. So goes South Dakota (a small sample of three opinions), so goes all "Red States". Reason? Well, you know, they're tired of the partisan divide. So let's put intellectual arguments, history and tradition aside by putting a highly partisan majority on the court for a generation. Because we're tired of the "partisan politics". *BLINK* So sophism and political fiction are now ine stylistic guide for WSJ articles. Posted by: Marcus T at February 18, 2016 07:34 AM (GGCsk) 82

Posted by: Picric at February 18, 2016 07:09 AM (QnQ+g) I agree. As much as Donald Trump is really troubling, I don't think he'd do anything to intentionally destroy the USA. But we do not know how his thinking would color his policies. His record both past and very recent as well as his statement and temperament are troubling to say the least.

I think the GOP is going to fold like a cheap suit on the SCOTUS pick.
Democrats are going to pick someone who can muster enough votes from establishment types like the idiot from Maine, et al because as the Republican nominating contest gets closer to a candidate, they're seeing their cushy taxpayer funded crusade of idiocy disappear into thin air.

When your beachhead is only 7-10 miles deep, being pushed back 3000 yards (1.7 miles) is pretty darned significant. The Germans were determined to push the Allies back into the Tyrrhenian Sea, and this next few days will be the main thrust.
Herewith an Anzio story. (Still loving the daily diary entries, Muldoon!) I was walking around the beaches of Anzio a few years ago and there were brick and concrete structures along the shoreline. You could tell they were old, but not how old. I was wondering whether they were improvised structures from when we were digging in in '44, or whether they were Roman old. It turned out they were remains from Nero's summer palace. The Romans were that good at brick and concrete. The thing I learned subsequently was that the Roman secret of concrete has been lost. The Brits rediscovered something in the 17th century called Portland Concrete, which is good and which we use to this day, but it's not as good as Roman concrete. This is why I was looking at brickworks and couldn't tell if they were 70 or 1,700 years old. Posted by: Bandersnatch at February 18, 2016 07:40 AM (1xUj/) 102

This is the revelation I've come to concerning Trump based on his earlier campaigning. I think when he was more of a long-shot he leveraged the belief that he had some connection to Cruz to climb higher in the polls. When he had extracted everything he needed from that then BOOM! Cruz was the enemy.
Now that's not saying he wouldn't of got some level of traction without that hint of a connection. What that means for me is the dissected groups that he is wooing now are just stepping stones towards him winning. Kind of a "duhhh", yeah I know. And with that he's found the most exploitable ploy with Republicans because they are so absolutely desperate damaged goods. Past proof of that being grade-school kid at RNC convention, celebrities praised because they might of said one thing non-marxist in an interview, erotic trash investigations of junior GOP pol's based on just a few speeches, etc.. I think Trump's entire campaign is built around that desperation and exploiting it which gives me kind of a grimy feeling. Posted by: bananaDream at February 18, 2016 08:05 AM (Ag8Mw) 146

Even if you think Trump is a libertine, shallow narcissist, you know he will do what no other Republican will: Go to Washington, kick ass, mock political correctness, build a wall, deport illegals, bring manufacturing home, and end the GOP's peculiar fixation with remaking the Muslim world.
Ann Coulter Um, no Annie, I don't know what Donald Trump's Hair will do once he's in orifice. I have no idea what any politician will do after he's elected. That's the problem. I expected Dondi to uphold the Constitution and respect our laws. That's why I voted for him. I didn't know he'd betray me and the country by working for amnesty for illegal aliens.

Must not be too familiar with CALEA, which has been the law since 1994.
Private telecoms are required to do lawful intercepts all the time. Apples and oranges I believe, and covered under a different law to boot. The FBI is trying to use the All Writs Act to compel Apple to perform a positive action. The Act and the authority therein is intended to compel someone to give up information he already has, not create new capabilities. So it's quite proper for the Court to ask Apple to provide all information it has concerning the encryption scheme on this device. It's not proper to use the Act to force Apple to break the encryption scheme. Posted by: VA GOP Sucks at February 18, 2016 08:10 AM (eytER) 158

...the plan for Anzio was a rapid breakout but the commanders on the scene got scared and hunkered down. It wasn't meant to be a defensive position but it became something of a siege.
***** Debatable as to the reason for the hunkering, but hunkering they did. The invasion planners thought they would need at least 3 divisions, but primarily due to shortage of landing craft they were granted only two. The goal was a quick inland thrust to grab control of the two main highways (Rtes 6 and 7) thereby forcing Kesselring to abandon the Gustav Line or risk losing 8-10 divisions. General Lucas chose caution, and halted the advance, expecting that he would get reinforcements, but Kesselring was able to scramble the forces he needed, rush them to the Anzio front and contain the Allies. The big German attack that Dad mentions here was an all out push to crush the beachhead. Posted by: Seamus Muldoon at February 18, 2016 08:10 AM (NeFrd) 160

Right now I think Russia is better positioned for economic expansion than the US. US is in economic collapse but is still in denial.
The USA is where the USSR was in 1987, by my reckoning. Except instead of having a grossly unsustainable military, we have a grossly unsustainable welfare state. We borrow money from China to pay legions of bureaucrats and welfare recipients (but I repeat myself) so they can buy cheap manufactured goods from China.

______________________ Yes, we all know whose lives don't really count for anything in this country, and it's not the blacks or the muzzies or the illegal aliens.

________________________ Yes, Barky has the right to nominate a replacement, just like the Senate has the right to say no to his nominee. The problem is that the gutless wonders in the Senate are so terrified of being called raaaaaacists or sexists or homophobes or xenophobes or whatever, that a bunch of them will simply cave if it comes to a vote on one of Barky's loony left nominees, no matter how clearly unfit the person is for the job. Just like they did with Loretta Lynch. Who in their right mind would vote yes for an AG who testifies that she believes illegal aliens have a "right" to jobs in the U.S.?

I view Scalia's passing as a more important event than the presidential election.
No matter who wins the presidency this election, the only thing you can count on is that we will not be allowed to have another Justice who makes rulings based on what the Constitution actually says again. Neither the GOPe nor the Dems will let it happen. Without the bulwark of protection that our rights from government intrusion offered us, we will lose what we had even faster. Even if we got a President Cruz, does anyone think McTurtle or Schumer would let his nominees be confirmed? Time to accelerate the stockpiling of food and things that get lost in canoe accidents.

Voting for a con man to punish clueless corporate noodle-spines who give money to Jeb was a funny joke, I'll grant you. Trump is the end of the GOP. Not just the GOPe, but the entire coalition.
