The smith, a might man is he,
With large and sinewy hands.
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are string as iron bands.

Oaks don't allow anything to grow near them. Something about the tannins they exude.
And that's even before the size of the canopy shades the ground enough.
Fungi do well nearby.

Responding to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) announcement, Amir-Abdollahian said, those who call Hezbollah terrorists, have intentionally or unintentionally targeted the unity and security of Lebanon.
The terrorism tag for Hezbollah, the most potent resistance movement, and inattention to the Zionist regimes atrocities is a new mistake which doesnt benefit the regional stability and security, he said as quoted by the state-run PressTV.

My yard has trouble with birch leaves (lots of neighbors have them). Those suckers just don't dry out and crumble like most. A couple years later, I still find those things whole and clogging up all kinds of things. I think if someone tried to make a canoe out of the leaves, it would be almost as watertight as the bark itself.

Speaking of which, since the democrats brought the KKK into this election, I believe it's time to switch the black vote to republicans in one wave.
Trump could do it.
All he has to do is explain that the KKK was the enforcement arm of the democrat party, but that the Klan has morphed into the DNC.
Their purpose is to keep blacks down, thus providing the welfare industry with clients and providing votes for the left.
In order to keep blacks from progressing in society, they control the inner-city schools where only one in five black kids learn to read at the most basic level.
No education - no advancement.
Secondly, democrats block any effort to change Social Security to Individual Retirement Accounts.
Social Security relies on black men dying early, without collecting much of what they've paid in during a lifetime of work, so that the system can pay benefits to white women who live longer.
Black families do not get to inherit the money they would if the accounts were owned by the individual, so every generation starts at zero.
When explained like this, blacks will reevaluate their loyalty to the democrat party (possibly with torches and pitchforks).
We just need to get all the republicans on board with the same narrative, so that they use the same talking points and turn every media conversation to how bad blacks are being screwed by democrats.

Down in ol' Kentucky where the horse shoes are lucky
There's a village smithy standing under the chestnut tree.
Hear the hammer knockin'; see the anvil rockin';
He sings the moody blues while he's hammering on the shoes.
See the hot sparks flyin' like Fourth of July-in'
He even got the horses clopping *bop* down the avenue.
Folks love the rhythm, the clang-bangin' rhythm.
You get a lot of kicks out of the blacksmith blues!

In the fall they shed their needles and clog up my gutters and get everywhere in my car.
Then in spring they spew out this fine dust like stuff that gets everywhere and makes me sneeze.
To top it off, when the wind blows they shed branches and in the winter the limbs break from the ice accumulation.
I'd like to get them cut down but I don't own them and couldn't afford it anyway.
I'll just have to wait till they fall on my house and then sue the shit out of someone.

I'll bet Trump could pull it off.
There is no defense on the left to what they've done to education in the inner-cities and they can't deny the blacks get the short end of the stick on Social Security.
I'm certain that the vast majority of blacks don't blame themselves for falling behind in the social order. They have to believe that some conspiracy of people and circumstances combined to keep them down. This explanation provides them with a villain to blame...
Democrats - the DNC - all of the left wing elites.
Aha!
There had to be a reason and this is it. It all makes sense now.
They thought the democrats were their friends but they were actually (secretly) conspiring to maintain a permanent underclass that they could build an industry around.

Most newspapers started out as party-promoting political tracts, more or less, with names advertising that fact: 'The St. Louis Globe-Democrat,' for one example. It was in that relatively briefwindow between the late 40's with themass availability and affordabilityof television and the early 80's with the advent of cable that news organizations claimed the mantle of journalistic objectivity--which was and is a lie, of course. A handful of monopolistic networks can say whatever the hell they want and no one can gainsay them.
All media are owned by people with certainpolitical and philosophical biases and beliefs. Thesemedia mogul typesare going to promote that which they believe and discredit that which they despise and they are going to lie all the way as they do it--maybe even to themselves. Human nature.

To reduce the number of individuals needing access to programs like Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program we will need to install programs that grow the economy and bring capital and jobs back to America. The best social program has always been a job - and taking care of our economy will go a long way towards reducing our dependence on public health programs.

Yet we can count on the establishment Republicans to not only avoid this topic altogether, but to apologize profusely for being somehow responsible for these situations that they have no control or involvement in.
I bring you Flint Michigan. Hillary and Bernie are trying to out siren call each other demanding that Rick Snyder, the gov. of Michigan , resign because of the Flint water contamination. Flint, MI, which has been fully controlled and operated by black democrats for decades, with a smattering of white democrats thrown in periodically. The last emergency manager was a black democrat.
So what does Snyder do? He has apologized for Flint about six times that I am aware of, and after attempting to calmly explain the timeline and his very limited involvement with day to day decisions in Flint on several news talk shows, is now gone silent.
Meanwhile, BLM, the Justice Bros. and others are demonstrating daily demanding Snyders resignation.

Started posting as "Mirror Universe Mitt Romney" years ago. Went off the deep end, including long ranty emails to Ace and everyday at 3:00pm spamming threads with the same weird, vulgar comments dozens of time. Sometimes for fun, a coblogger would change the content of each of his posts to something weird instead of just purging them. Was banned (and probably institutionalized).
Now another commenter who was banned more recently is spamming threads using a similar nic and *I think* doing the goofy comments him/herself as a form of trolling.

You would think that after the Perot candidacy the GOP would learn that it has a sector of the party that will revolt and that some attention has to be paid to it. But the entire Trump thing has caught them off-guard. If I, just an internet commenter of no particular skill, can assess the reasons for the current revolt last year in September-October then the paid experts should be ashamed.
Yet, they are not ashamed that they missed everything around them.

So when a bully like Trump comes along, blunt and brutish and not at allinterested in the nuances of reasoned argument, they roll over and show their bellies, which is what Christie did, or they skulk off to a secret burrow and engage in collective revenge fantasies, which is what Bill Kristol and his pals are doing.

'He understands that our economy is facing threats from abroad. He's one of the few people who stood up and said, you know what, China has been cheating. They've taken jobs from Americans, they haven't played fair, we have to have a president who will stand up to cheaters.

I tend to agree that they aren't the most perceptive group but exactly nobody saw Trump coming. I defy you to find one reference to Trump being the one before he entered the race last June. Most ignored him when they weren't laughing at him. Certainly nobody here was promoting Trump back then.
The big complaint from "the base" is that there hasn't been a real constitutional conservative to vote for not a guy like Trump. Well they got one in Cruz and that doesn't appear to be what they wanted after all.
It appears what people want is someone who rants and raves and tweets and instagrams and makes up his policies on the fly based on current public opinion. And most don't seem to give a crap that his positions have been all over the map and ofter contradict positions he held a year or so ago.

They are paid to look for things like that. It is their jobs. They didn't see it.
Worse, when it arrived they had no idea why it was there. If I can figure it out 4-5 months ago, what's their excuse for not addressing those "whys" right now? Perhaps to address those "whys" would be to admit that those who are in revolt have good reason to be, and that would be to admit a serious failure on their part. And that they will never do.
(Me, I think I'm going to be supporting Cruz, but it may be a lost cause at this point.)

That's an oversimplification.
One wants reform/burn it down.
The other demands BAU or Hillary, which for them is BAU. They simply shift to 'we lost and it's your fault'.

"Light on details" as compared to what. I don't mean to bag on you but this is such a weak criticism to me. Obama literally ran on hope and change. We have a candidate promising to enforce immigration law and cut taxes and regulation and conservatives are going "wellll what if he doesn't mean it?" Then he won't do it, like everyone else.
Trump is transcending left-right politics. I love Ted Cruz but if he is nominated we will be fighting on the exact same battlefield that's been established since 1992 and we always lose. Always. If Ted had been subjected to the same racism/fascism assault Trump has weathered in the last two weeks he'd be sunk. I can't explain it but Trump is not bound by the laws of gravity.

Here in beautiful downtown Colorado (Boulder area to be precise), we've been largely left alone by the candidates -- except for a tolerable few ads by Bernie and some now extinct ads by Jeb!.
The result of that is increased Dem turnout in Boulder, overwhelmingly for Bernie Sanders.
Republicans did not conduct their own straw poll, but my anecdotal experiences have been similar support for Cruz. I have yet to meet a true Trump enthusiast.
I don't know if that's a wave election here or not, but it's the true sense of the split between conservatives and liberals in the area.

Mitt Romney says Donald Trump is not a huge business success: "His bankruptcies have crushed small businesses."
"Businesses that Bain Capital then bought in a leveraged buy-out with other people's money, while taking none of the risk, paying ourselves immense fees, only to abandon the looted carcass to other lesser scavengers."
"Now more about business ethics..."

Particularly Snyder, who came from a private sector background. I realize that he was CEO of Gateway, and then began a venture capital firm, so it's not like he was out there trying to run a pizza business or a small manufacturing facility. But he isn't a lawyer who only has worked for the government all his life.

"Light on details" as compared to what. I don't mean to bag on you but this is such a weak criticism to me. Obama literally ran on hope and change. We have a candidate promising to enforce immigration law and cut taxes and regulation and conservatives are going "wellll what if he doesn't mean it?" Then he won't do it, like everyone else.
Trump is transcending left-right politics. I love Ted Cruz but if he is nominated we will be fighting on the exact same battlefield that's been established since 1992 and we always lose. Always. If Ted had been subjected to the same racism/fascism assault Trump has weathered in the last two weeks he'd be sunk. I can't explain it but Trump is not bound by the laws of gravity.

Dude, chill. I'm reacting solely and specifically to the healthcare portion. It is, in point of fact, thin on details. Maybe they haven't fleshed it out, maybe they don't know yet, maybe they want some ambiguity. My point about that specific aspect stands and doesn't merit this response.

I hope the polls show increases for both Trump and Cruz from this blathering pile of vomit.

And in that panic the guy they find, the BEST guy to ride into the fray and set everything back to The Way It Should Be, the best communicator and the one they know the people will listen to, because they all revere and look up to him, is Romney.
Are they all gay lovers of one another or something? It's not like there isn't real world evidence of what the base thought, thinks, and will forever think of Romney. How can they have missed that? How can, in the face of a wave of anit-establishment sentiment, they thought that Romney was the balm to soothe all the resentment and anger towards, basically, Romney and his ilk?

ago. Why not direct some of that venom against them?"
Willard is a tool and there is no doubt about that.
But Trump is the flip side of the corrupt coin that we have been trying to stamp out in Washington for years. Both the Capitol and K Street are the problem. Romney may typify one of those but Trump typifies the other.

The GOP is in some kind of trouble, if Mitt best articulates the counter-Trump message. That was a confused mess. And dressing it up with pomp and circumstance made it look wistfully sad.
There's more to come apparently in the next two weeks, with public statements from Paul Ryan and others that will probably be worse (presumably George Bush at some future point).
It is absolutely bizarre that the GOP leadership is so completely out of touch with basic politics. Just incredible, and they don't (or cannot) seem to learn. It's like they live in an alternate universe.

Eh, not giving Trump a pass for all his bashing, especially all the trash talk about Cruz, the threats to Ryan and changing libel laws. He is all over the map, contradictory, and thin-skinned. Not my pick.
However, I am not thrilled with the GOP establishment, including Romney, Fox and pundits like Bill Kristol, who all played a role in the generating the anger that has created Trump (along with 7 years of Obama's lawlessness and trolling), deciding to lecture us on why we should not support the candidate who most effectively bashes the press and Hillary.
I would be much more open to Romney et. al. wanting to find something in between - a way to recognize the anger and actually fix what caused it (pushing back against Obama and things like open borders) instead of treating unhappy conservatives like toddlers who need to have their noisy new toy taken away. Pushing Mario Rubio on us is only going to get more people to vote Trump or sit out altogether.

(adjective)
1. concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty.
"the pictures give great aesthetic pleasure"
(noun)
1. a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement.
"the Cubist aesthetic"
It is time to set aside the cultural aesthetics which gave us Obama and made Bush keep his mouth shut for all 8 years of his presidency as his reputation and by extension the reputation of every proud American was dragged through the mud.

In 2010, I was being bombarded with messages telling me to vote for Mike Castle in the primary. meanwhile, the battle here raged on and on.
Just before the primary, Castle FINALLY started campaigning, but it was very negative. That included radio ads.
Mrs. hen is (somewhat) apolitical, and a registered democrat. one night I was minding my own business and drinking while grilling outdoors, when she came home, and started a conversation about the ads.
That alone was unusual; she's always loathe to hear it when I start political talks, especially with her family (yellow dog dems who claim to be independent).
punchline: she hated the ads, and felt bad for COD.
1. She hates politics.
2. wrong party
3. hates to discuss politics with me
4. and felt compelled to bring it up.
I don't know about advertising, but usually, if you are putting down money and are pissing off people who are just wandering by, you're doing something wrong.
And you are probably raping the koala in front of your intended audience.

THIS. I agree with (mostly). The GOPe and the press is still acting like Cruz doesn't exist because they hate him so much. Almost every new site I went to yesterday morning except for Drudge had headlines that named Trump and Dondi but ghosted Cruz (even though Cruz is in second with between 50 and 90 fewer delegates than Trump).
There is however still a very strong alternative to Trump who actually holds the values we say we support who still has a very strong chance of prevailing.

Another is trying to stick the KKK stain on Trumpsters.

THIS. I agree with (mostly). The GOPe and the press is still acting like Cruz doesn't exist because they hate him so much. Almost every new site I went to yesterday morning except for Drudge had headlines that named Trump and Dondi but ghosted Cruz (even though Cruz is in second with between 50 and 90 fewer delegates than Trump).
There is however still a very strong alternative to Trump who actually holds the values we say we support who still has a very strong chance of prevailing.

President Bush has had the good sense to not criticize Baroque...unlike Carter, I believe, who has always popped up like a gopher to yap about how he would have done something. Romney is now our Carter, but Jimmah won, at least, one term. Romney is a big loser-pants. Forevermore.

He see's himself where Trump is and says "I could have done that and I'd have done it just like that".

Romney is a party man, no way he did that without the approval of powers that be.
He just made all of Hillary's commercials for her in the fall. "Look, even his own Party thinks these bad things about him!"
He just lit into the Party front runner, castigated Republican voters, and got on record defending Muslim terrorists from Trump.
Wow.

Please, please, let Mitt cross my path again. Please. I want to tell him, to his face, that he disgusts me and is a phony (then I get hauled away?). I will refrain from spitting. pfft. And will say this in the most drippy honey accent I can manage. What a huge disappointment on top of Hilz Virus remnants.

I do like Cruz. I just like Trump more.
Yeah, it is clear the gope is goping like it's on crack, but for me the fact Cruz is a true-blue Conservative is exactly what puts him in second place.
The medicine Cruz is selling is too weak to do any good.
Who here is surprised the gope is doing these things?
It was all predicted last year. The gope wants the System to remain untouched. They want that more than they want to win.

How large a Fresnel lens? One from the table of a discarded overhead projector?
Do your math. You can get numbers for average insolation in Watts per square meter (or in Imperial units if that floats your boat). You should also be able to get figures for how much energy it takes to do a given cooking chore. Then you can figure how much molten salt it will take to store that much energy, and how long your solar collector will have to run to collect that much heat content.
You can buy solar cookers that will cook food directly. I believe you will find that the thermal storage idea will be bulky and complex, and most assuredly non-portable.
The painting at the top of this thread depicts a solar-storage device that works, and all you need to withdraw some of that energy for cooking or home heating is an axe.

Was it muzzie scapegoats who blew apart kids at the Boston Marathon? Was it muzzie scapegoats who murdered people at their desks in San Bernardino? Are all those dozens of "Minnesota men" a/k/a Somali muzzies in Minnesota who've been arrested for plotting/training for terror attacks on the U.S. scapegoats?
And no doubt all the Americans who have been raped, robbed, murdered, or run over by illegal aliens from Mexico will be glad to know those criminals were only scapegoats too. As an AZ taxpayer, I'm relived to know the thousands of vicious Mexican gang members and other assorted violent Mexican prisoners that I'm paying to house here in AZ prisons are just scapegoats.
Yes, American voters ARE angry, Mitt Romney. But what you and your cloistered, blinkered buddies in the GOPe don't get is that our anger is completely justified. We have seen our laws trampled on, our fellow citizens brutalized and murdered, and hundreds of billions of our dollars pissed away by our own government every year on benefits for illegal aliens and to bring in millions more foreign muslim immigrants who despise us and our way of life and would happily deprive us of all of our most cherished freedoms.
The millions of illegal alien Mexicans and hostile foreign Muslims in our country are not scapegoats; they are a very real part of the problems in this country. But the biggest problem is a federal government -- and GOP establishment -- that responds to the legitimate concerns of the American people by telling us to STFU.

What they want is for everyone who opposes Trump to "shut up and fall in line", just like they imagine 2008 and 2012 was for them.
Difference is, McCain and Romney actually had some identifiable conservative principles which makes them at least minimally palatable. Trump has none.

Just when you think things are going to settle down: nope. Romney deserves whatever return fire Trump and Christie give him. Maybe Christie will play the bad cop to Trump being "whatever, give me your best shot."

I've never seen a party say fuck you to the hoi polloi like that. The GOPe just told a very, very large group of angry, pissed of conservatives that it didn't matter who they supported, you'll get what they give you and you'll like it.
I don't know what to think anymore. What a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
I will say this, to those Trump supporters out there - we told you they would come after him with the entire might of the party. And that's just OUR side. Hillary will give no quarter either. It will likely be the ugliest election in the history of our country.
I don't think it's hyperbole to say that some folks will lose their lives over this. The rage is already real and was before Mittens decided to tell us who our betters want as a candidate. Someone is going to get hurt, I fear.

857 Romney is exactly right that Trump is scapegoating Mexicans and Muslims, and foreigners generally. But people here don't seem to care, they *want* to scapegoat the foreigners and moreover, criticize others who *don't* scapegoat foreigners as somehow "liberals". Actually, "liberal" would be to coddle them, not to merely refuse to recognize all of them as the enemy.

Trump isn't a conservative. But then, neither is Romney, for that matter.
No matter: you got it wrong. In his autobiography, Reagan wrote, "The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. It's a rule I followed during that campaign and have ever since."
Posted by: troyriser at March 03, 2016 12:54 PM (UWlp+)
It's not scapegoating when they're an actual threat.
As far as the Muslims, all that's been said is there should be a hiatus in the influx until we get a handle on vetting who is allowed in. And also that NO SYRIAN CHRISTIANS get refugee status for some reason.
As far as the southern invaders go, it's the border that we're upset about. It's porous allowing all sorts of enemies through and needs to be reinforced or we've lost our sovereignty.
The individual Mexicans are not the threat, it's the threat to the principle and the contempt shown by Mexico that are the problem. Shutting down the invaders would stop most of that.

I'll go further. She will win easily and her win will be interpreted as a total popular repudiation of Trump's key stand against open borders. It will prove (!!!) that the American people really want mega-amnesty and moarr Muslims pleeez!

Yeah. I'm taking care of my 80 year old dad. Huge Rush fan, so I don't have a lot of choice.
I find it tiresome.
Yes. I understand WHY Trumpkins support Trump and HOW the GOPe is finally reaping the gangrenous awards they so richly deserve after repeatedly shooting themselves in the dick whilst aiming at the "working middle class".
You don't have to convince ME.
That being said, I'm never going to be able to "support" Trump.
Mostly, because I think he's a moron (not in the good AoSHQ way).
I break out in fucking hives when I hear the proclamation that once "El Dookie" begins his "reign" as President he will make Apple manufacture iPhones in the US and not "Chieyna".
So much goddamn stupidity in that idea*. Hives, I tells ya!
Being anti-establishment does not necessarily translate to being pro-Trump.
Not even to "send a message" which I believe will be (and is being) IGNORED.
I understand WHY others are supporting Trump but I just can't.
*But Deety! Obviously, Trump is a brilliant, Wharton educated businessman, who has managed his massive INHERITANCE through numerous bankruptcies and under-performed investing in a fucking Index Fund, and has more money than YOU (nyah, nyah, nyah!), couldn't POSSIBLY believe that having iPhones manufactured in the US would be AT ALL helpful! He doesn't really BELIEVE that shit. He just says things like that because he knows that his dumb-ass "supporters" like to hear this bullshit.

Just a few thoughts.
Posted by: DocJ at March 03, 2016 01:00 PM (zrsn3)
Romney is exactly right that Trump is scapegoating Mexicans and Muslims, and foreigners generally. But people here don't seem to care, they *want* to scapegoat the foreigners and moreover, criticize others who *don't* scapegoat foreigners as somehow "liberals". Actually, "liberal" would be to coddle them, not to merely refuse to recognize all of them as the enemy.
Really? Recognizing reality is scapegoating?
Make no mistake, tho', chemjeff: I don't want to live around a bunch of people who don't speak my language, don't appreciate my culture or the laws I willingly obey, who refuse to assimilate and want to chop off my head in the name of their death cult.
That's not scapegoating.

Channel 12 in Beaumont Texas did the reportingStory appears on Beaumont TV
station Channel 12.According to the Beaumont newspaper and reports from a
couple of Beaumont TV stations this really happened.Why did Hillary REALLY
visitBeaumont, Texas - Got to read this!!Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop
yesterday in Beaumont, Texas. Only six people were there to greet her. Her
security detail outnumbered her supporters by quite a bit. She wouldn't talk,
wave to or even acknowledge those there to greet her.
As bad as that is, it's
not the real story here. The real story is who she took a private meeting with.
After landing, Clinton headed off to a fundraiser in West Beaumont, where she
was greeted by around 150-200 Muslims, most of whom were of Pakistani origin.
The event was held by Pakistani businessman Tahir Javed and Hillary raised
approximately $500,000 by pandering to Muslims, making it "one of the top five
private fundraiser's Clinton has had in this country."

Shut up idiot. You are lodging the standard issue leftist attack, taking a page right out of the democrat playbook, only without the movie stars and the cultural cachet and the monolithic racial/feminist/LGBTQ moral-issues "legitimacy" behind you. You are mounting an argument that the left permits you to make for them before they spurn, mock, and devour you. You are Stalin's useful idiot. Your principled contrarian posturing is the only thing you have left. There is nothing to back it up.

ideological gulf that separates them, but the fact that Trump, with his

campaign without them and their conditions..
That was my guess over the dinner table last night: the GOPe knows it can't control him by threatening to withhold campaign cash or electoral support, neither of which he needs from them. He's totally off the GOP reservation, and that terrifies them. He's not what the Brits call "a sound chap, who knows what's expected of him."

Well, a general election campaign is about $2 billion, based on last cycle. I think it's predicted to double this year, but let's call it $2 billion.
---
Cruz isn't in the same financial situation, is he? A serious question: What has Senator Cruz said about financing his general election campaign should he win the Party's nomination?
---
Cruz has the best-funded campaign right now on the GOP side. He has more cash than the RNC and iirc about double what Rubio has.
If he's the nominee, it looks like (based on the Bush links I provided) he'd be accepted by the GOPe, so funding wouldn't be a problem.

(S)HE's been doing that more and more since an ONT where he got a bunch of folks banned for reacting to her/him.

They could still mess things up at the convention.
Depending
on circumstances. If the votes fall their way and Trump is just shy of a
winning number of delegates for the first vote, the second vote would
be up for grabs and that's when the Cabana boy steps onto the stage.
Or his Padron Romney.

Posted by: Nevergiveup at March 03, 2016 01:09 PM (mw8Dm)
Well said. I'm getting awfully tired of the straw man getting whomped on so much. No one has ever said that ALL Muslims were terrorists. It's just as you point out, their religion predisposes an unacceptably high proportion of them towards terrorism, and an even higher proportion of them toward tacitly supporting terrorism.
And to be clear, by "unacceptably high proportion" I don't mean something like 90%. I mean the proportion might be 0.01%, which, given a Muslim population here of ca. 1 million, would imply that 10,000 of them would be candidates for terrorism. And if true, that's unacceptably high, I think we can all agree.

Let's take the muslim terrorists out of the equation for a moment. Even if there had never been thousands of innocent Americans murdered by muslim terrorists in the past few decades, why are we continuing to import millions of foreigners who have pledged their allegiance to a political ideology that opposes the most basic, fundamental tenets of our own? Muslims do not believe in separation of church and state, or in religious freedom, or in freedom of speech, or in free markets, or in civil rights for women, etc., etc.
So why are we bringing them here? And by the millions.

Chris Christie for all the terrible things said about him here, by myself and others, had a novel approach to Islamic terrorism when he was attorney general of New Jersey -- he caught and convicted the wanna-be terrorists BEFORE they killed anyone.

Do you mean "stop immigration from a majority-Muslim country"? Or do you mean "stop immigration from any Muslims regardless of which country they come from"?
I mean "stop immigration from any Muslim country." While the bad apples may be a minority, the active terrorists we have seen don't, in my mind, justify letting in unknown quantities while we have possible domestic terrorists in our midst.
And, to be blunt, stop all immigration from any country for a period of five years at the least. We have no obligation to be the world's flophouse.

Not to gang up.
Politico ran a piece yesterday about who amongst the GOP base [moderates mostly] that they intend to and are targeting for votes. They figure the major block is only their aversion to the Democrat label and that they can work past that with the right kind of persuasion. They'd like that vote, but dissuasion from voting at all works too.
FWIW, I think that's both entirely possible to do and exactly what's going on.

Sometimes I do almost feel like a troll here, even though I am not.
It is just disheartening to see what has become of the right.
I remember there was a discussion here at the HQ, many years ago, maybe around fall of 2011 or so, when the subject of Muslim terrorism came up. There was a lively discussion, several people saying, as now, "ban all the Muslims", but several other people agreeing with people like me saying "that would be wrong, we should ban the terrorists of course but Muslims as a whole are not responsible for the terrorist few". Now it seems as though everyone in that latter group has been driven away, and the default position is "ban all the Muslims", and people who disagree are leftists or liberals or terrorist-sympathizers or whatnot.
Scapegoating isn't a liberal thing or a conservative thing, it is just wrong. It isn't a "leftist argument" to complain and point out scapegoating, it is a correct argument. It's really sad that so many people have just been driven out of their wits. I find it harder and harder to associate myself with conservatives nowadays. I might go full-on Libertarian, who knows.
And now I have to run to class.

Maybe it's because of the seeming attention they got from the mods or maybe they've just slipped a cog over this election (and haven't we all gone a bit off the rails at some point these last 6 months?) and become a bit trollish.

But sure, let's compare Trump and his detractors. John McCain, for all his faults, once refusedearly release from a hellish North Vietnamese PW camp so as not to hand the enemy a propaganda victory. Mitt Romney's whole life has been an exercise in decency.

But sure, let's compare Trump and his detractors. John McCain, for all his faults, once refusedearly release from a hellish North Vietnamese PW camp so as not to hand the enemy a propaganda victory. Mitt Romney's whole life has been an exercise in decency. And then there's your guy, a skeevy slimeball who games eminent domain to roust a little old lady from her home, a guy who makes 'I'd hit that' remarks about his own daughter, a guy who inherited a fortune and who has never known a day of real struggle in his entire miserable life."

See here's where I think you're off the track. I've never seen anyone say 'ban all Muslims' unless it was part of joking around.
And even if so, I don't think it was meant seriously. But we should think about doing better vetting those we allow in in the future given the things happening in the EU.
And mistating what most believe are the facts gets people riled up.
Maybe instead of making general statements, some quotes would be better? And maybe show how many statements like that were made? Saying 'everyone's saying' is a long overused trick of the liberal media and it sets off alarm bells for any savvy conservative.
It's never any good to make general statements blanketing an entire group without some facts to back it up.

OK, the discussion was in 2011...or five years ago.
The world changes.
Facts change.
And the facts on the ground are these - we have no reliable or credible way to "ban the terrorists." None. You know what the method is? In the paperwork we ask "are you a terrorist?" Yeah, that doesn't work.
So since there's no good way to figure it out, it's reasonable to put a halt to the whole damn thing until we can figure it out. DHS has shown that it is not up to the task, so we need to get the capability...and until we do, I'm quite OK with saying we don't allow any more muslims in, or for that matter anyone from any predominantly-muslism country.
What is disturbing is that a rather plain and evident security protocol like that is being denounced as racist or scapegoating. Well, is it "scapegoating" blacks if I have the police look for a black man who mugged me? No, of course not.
So chill, man. Using hyperbole to miscast someone's opinion is really kind of Clintonian.

If Rubio were to not come in first place - the REAL first place, Marco - in Florida, his own home state, his viability as a candidate would be over, forever. There's already a large Republican contingent in Florida that's disappointed in him and will work against his re-election as Senator. Avoiding the homestate loss saves face and protects his future career.

But sure, let's compare Trump and his detractors. John McCain, for all his faults, once refusedearly release from a hellish North Vietnamese PW camp so as not to hand the enemy a propaganda victory. Mitt Romney's whole life has been an exercise in decency. And then there's your guy, a skeevy slimeball who games eminent domain to roust a little old lady from her home, a guy who makes 'I'd hit that' remarks about his own daughter, a guy who inherited a fortune and who has never known a day of real struggle in his entire miserable life.
If politics were about decency, Mitt would already be in the Oval Office.
But it's not. It's about winning. And then, if you're on the right, enjoying the perks of office while occasionally tossing some red meat to the rubes back home so you can keep your place at the trough. John "I'll build the damn wall!" McStain is a prime example.
Both McCain and Romney had gold-plated opportunities throughout their campaigns to nail Obama to the wall and pry his coke-snorting, dog-eating ass out of the White House. But they held back. Why? Decency? Fear of being called racist? Who knows? But, as has been pointed out on this thread, the GOPe has done more in seven hours to stomp down Trump than they ever have with Obama in seven years.
Where was all this righteous anger about the direction of the country when it was really needed?

But consider - Trump is best known for two things: making deals and getting even. His detractors focus on the deal making and the history of liberal donations and associations it has entailed. They expect him to bargain away every promise on day one.
But what about his lust for getting even? With foreigners who have fucked with us, with establishment figures who have fucked with him. And these fights he gets into tend to snowball when his adversaries double down. When he's fucked with as president, the escalation of conflict will also occur and he'll get more and more angry at some of the same people that we hate. He'll grow in office! Or would that be shrink in office?

Why would the GOPe disregard the will of it's base for the last 30?
Doesn't matter how good you can make deals if the other side won't deal.
Posted by: rickb223 at March 03, 2016 01:40 PM (SvnHQ)
The rules are majority rules... if 70% (or even 50% + 1) of the delegates are not for Trump, then Trump doesn't win unless he can convince enough people to switch to him to make 50%.
There is NOTHING unfair or cheating about that.

The GOP Congress has done such a great job of blocking Obama, hasn't it?
Somehow your scenario does not inspire confidence.
If the GOP had been an actual opposition party since 2010, we wouldn't be talking about Trump as the probable nominee right now. Just why do you think people are so pissed off at the party right now?

I am still mulling over Norah O'Donnell's incredibly stupid statement from the other day. She said "Trump's support is from men without college degrees and making less than $50,000 a year. Yet Trump does a speech at Mar Largo..." Norah supported the guy that did a speech in front of a fake Greek temple with styrofoam pillars. Did she want Trump to make a speech in front of a picker's shack? Maybe it should be in some Appalachian "holler". You just don't get stupid like that every day.

I think it is becoming increasingly clear that Rubio doesn't have a shot. L Graham's statement kind of says it all. If I'm advising Rubio, I'm telling him you have a lot of political career left. Save whatever political capital you have left. Go out magnanimously (either neutral and let the voters decide) or anti-Trump. This is not your time.
But get out before you are humiliated in your home state because the next time, you will be the guy who lost his home state. You will be Santorum.

I wouldn't count on anything being settled on the 15th.

>> chance to pick anyone.
If you're pushing ticket balance then it's going to be a woman of non-WASP extraction, either black or from outside the Old South.
If you're chasing the Trump base you're likely going to pick a flamethrowing WASP woman, but Sarah Palin's damaged goods.

Holy f*ck -- look at the extent the GOP is going to so far to take Trump out! If you think Cruz would be able to withstand even a 10th of this, you're delusional.
It's Trump or GOPe. That's it.

Nothing on health care and health care insurance is believable. Trump is as inconsistent as Obama (or are those waivers somehow showing a secret consistency?). GOPe has not done anything they said to get elected (It's too hard the GOPe wine...Obama is too tough...). Roberts had it right. It's a tax and it was listed as 25% of GDP growth in 2015. Idiotic bookkeeping. Not working out well.

Trump has to break the 33-35% ceiling to keep the possibility of a brokered convention slim. Mid 40's would do. Above 50 would cinch the deal.
If Trump stays where he is and
If Cruz and Rubio keep splitting the counter-trump vote,
and Kasich takes Ohio, which would keep him in the deal.
We are going to a brokered convention.
If the slow learners and small brains that run the GOP wanted a ticket that won't split the GOP and has a high probability to win it all-
they'd have Rubio drop out today and endorse Cruz.
It's gonna take a while for Rubioids to readjust their thinking-
the longer they wait to give Mario the talk, the less likely that move will succeed.
But, they're idiots so I expect they'll do the worst possible thing.

GOP is ever successful taking Trump out, Cruz would be taken out in
less than a day.

This is the scenario I suspect may come to pass. While the Dem alternative is not acceptable in any way, I am not convinced freedom will advance under Trump.

Hillary is the worst speaker I think I have ever seen in my life. There are going to be a lot of folks that will quietly vote for anyone but her, if the stupid party will just stop trying to run a loser.

This isn't how dems act. If we're fortunate, they will stay home. or they will write in bernie, or nader, or unicorns.
Those are the likely options, according to history.

My lens is 30 x 40 inches from a projection TV. I'm thinking of cutting off corners to leave a more-wieldy 30-inch circle. With a 40+ inch focal length, I can't see the edges contributing much heat, but I can test with a mask before I start chopping. My main summer events are car camping, so the bulk isn't a big deal. The main use might end up being morning coffee and a few hot showers.
Starting in August, I'll have a basement to store dopey projects such as this.
