Obviously, painting of this type were used to teach religion. But, sheesh!
One thing I liked about Dresden is that they had happy art. If you went into the old churches it wasnt all Mary looking sorrowful. In Dresden she looked beautiful, had a smile, and was surrounded by stars.

If you want to tempt a guy named Anthony, start with some calzone, maybe a nice antipasta, move onto zuppa de pesce, then linguini with white clam sauce and finish with a cannoli and espresso.
And a nice bottle of Ruffino.
That's temptation.

There's St Anthony sitting there bored in weirdoland
and the pig is saying:
"Promise your soul to Satan, and I will give you all the sweet sweet bacon, BBQ'd ribs and Pulled pork in my body"
And the little dinosaur dudes dumping out the jug are saying:
"Yes, give your soul to Lucifer. And you may drink all you wish from this Jug of Endless Sterno-Infused Val-U-Rite....
...and we'll stop dumping it on the ground which is a terrible waste...
...and a fire hazard."
Now, this one makes perfect sense.

Indiana has 6.6M people. Washington has 7.1M people.
Indiana has 57 delegates, WA has 44 delegates. Accounting for the population difference, IN has about 35% more delegates than WA.
I get that IN is more Republican than WA, but still it just adds to the whiff of corruption to the whole primary process.

A man comes out of the creek to attack you.
But his face falls away to reveal a ladder.
Onto which climbs a muskrat.
Which aims a bow and arrow at you.
Only the arrow is actually a bullhorn.
And through that bullhorn the muskrat shouts:
"Donald Trump is the only real conservative left!"

An anti-abortion activist who made undercover videos at Planned
Parenthood clinics said in a social media posting that California
Department of Justice agents raided his home Tuesday...
Texas authorities initially began a grand jury investigation of
Planned Parenthood after the undercover videos were released in August.
But the grand jury cleared Planned Parenthood of misusing fetal
tissue and indicted Daleiden and a colleague, Sandra Merritt, in January
on charges including using fake driver's licenses to get into a Houston
clinic.

The Rep. pundit, young guy, said, no, it is likely going to go to a contested convention and it will be up to the individual campaigns to sway delegates. Unlike the Democrat race, where the SuperDelegates were locked up before the primaries and will coronate Hillary. He set a perfect trap for Dem pundit and she walked right into it. She started talking about even though Bernie has won all these states, the SuperDelegates will be bound to Hillary and he will not be able to get the votes needed to win the nom...
Rep. pundit leaped on that and looking at the camera, said, "Bernie supporters, please listen to what she said. Your votes do not matter, because the Democrat party decided who was the candidate before the primaries, and it is a totally corrupt system, in which the Democrat voter has NO say in who their candidate is...
Dem pundit had a "oh shit" look on her face.

Accordingly, I notified the Office of Cultural Appropriation regarding this complaint.
The clerk informed me that under the newly adopted "Estelle Getty Rule," Italian mothers may employ Yiddish guilt tactics if they live within four city blocks of a Jewish Community Center, or saw Jackie Mason at Caesar's Palace at any time in her life.

So far we have Netflix (had it forever) and when kid the older started college we got the Amazon Prime for college students, which is like half the price of regular Prime, you just need a college email account.
Then we got a Roku and Sling.
I think altogether still much cheaper than cable.

He could have issued his "how will Mexico pay for the wall" paper 3 months ago.
He could have boned up on abortion topic.
He could have research healthy policy to avoid his constant instinctual claim "the government will take care of it, but it will be done privately" which is Obamacare or Single Payer.
But no, that would require an investment of time.
Not acceptable. Let's just wing it.
He could have also moderated his tone a teensy weensy bit. I swear he has spent so much time calling his opponents liars or comparing them to child molesters that he's driven away those voters. I think he really believes if he can win the nomination, he's done. (Which kinda implies maybe Hillary and Bill set this up, no?) He's firing staff in key electoral states like Florida, Ohio and Iowa...its like the plan is to just sabotage the GOP and go home to NYC.

At least the remaining states have their eyes wide open...maybe. I say maybe because the thing is that the R's in the these later primaries aren't used to voting for the Pres candidate. I was talking to some relatives in CA and they aren't even paying attn to the race, because the candidate is always decided by the time the primary rolls around.

Expecting people to be something they are not leads to unnecessary disappointment. He is what he is. If he acted differently, he probably wouldn't have gotten this far. My opinion of Trump hasn't really changed. I have nothing against him personally, and have always liked him in his realm - which is more entertainment than anything else. I just don't want him to be president.

I'm sure Trump knows what he's doing. Those staffers came to him through the RNC, so it's questionable where their loyalties are.
Had McCain fired disloyal staff like Steve Schmidt and Nichole Wallace early, the election may have gone another way.

Nah, I think there's method in the madness.
It used to be that the number of delegates pretty much varied according to state population, which of course gave lefty states like NY and CA a lot more power in picking the nominee. The GOP in those states is of course very country-club "establishment" and more to the point, it's ineffective, can't elect a dog-catcher, much less deliver electoral votes for POTUS.
IIRC, it was in the Reagan era when they started basing the number of super-delegates on how effective the state party is in actually electing Republicans. Thus my state (VA,) gets a little credit for a GOP legislature and a majority of GOP Congressmen but is hit hard for having a Dem governor and 2 Dem Senators. Kentucky, with a lower population, has more delegates because they can win statewide elections for the GOP.
The system is far from perfect but not arbitrary or inane.

"His first failing was that he sacrificed virtue to convenience, which might be imputed to the evil in most men." - Dr. Johnson
Johnson, of course, meant virtue in the absolute sense. In the JEF's case, he confuses his 'personal morality/philosophy' with 'virtue'. In Teh Donald's case, he apparently never really developed much in the way of what might be regarded as an identifiable morality, beyond his own ego.

To be clear, I still think this nomination is Trump's to lose. And if Cruz does manage to win, it will be on a later ballot, and he will have a tough time winning in the general. But if winning in the general was that important to me, I would have backed Rubio.

You've got blinders on. When it was Jeb, it was pure joy to watch. When it was Marco, it was fabulous. When it was Hillary, it was tremendous, although it made people nervous because of the WAR ON WYMYN narrative, but the only way to fight leftist narratives is to not alter your behavior to comply with their rules. Which is what he's doing.
But now that it's Cruz y'all maaaaaad.
I regret it, but it's the game being played. And you're perfectly willing to excuse it when the exact same tactics are directed at the size of Trump's "hands" and a picture of his wife - because, as I'm constantly told, he's a bad person so he deserves it ("it's fine if we do it, but not if he does, because we're right!") and she really is a whore.

All kidding aside, in a totally scientific, carefully weighted poll (i.e., guys I play ball with) I've only heard anyone express support for Trump, and that was pretty full-throated. Of course, here in CA we're awash in illegal aliens, so anyone talking about building a wall is going to get a lot of support from the Anglos (and perhaps surprisingly, some of the Latinos - the legal ones - too).

You're a delusional fan boy.
Trump can't even answer the most basic questions without blowing up his campaign. He's a lazy piece of shit that thinks he's too smart to bone up on the issues. And that's with the media playing with him, even when they're treating him like a child he screws up.
He'll never be President, but he might slip in as the nominee. In which case no one will ever admit they voted for Donald Trump when he loses a landslide.
But sure, all the polling is a giant Ilimunati conspiracy. Except Trump's entire campaign has been spouting off polls.

He could be harsh and a bit over the top, but he was a symbol of wealth, productivity, and ambition. I had respect for the Trump "brand". He seemed to have a bit of a sense of humor about himself.
I've been appalled, however, at the way he has conducted his presidential campaign. It has made me lose my respect for him and left a sour taste about him as a person. And I believe he has damaged rather than enhanced the Trump brand.

But first, you'll have to admit I never cited, much less dismissed, any polls, at any point in this thread, or any other. Nor did I mention the Illuminati, which you misspelled.
And I dispute your assertion that the media is "playing to him."
And have a good one.

So you're now conceding the polls probably are right and that Trump will lose by double digits to Hillary?

I heard Beck make a similar point about Obozo and Mooch. They could have done a lot of good and a lot of healing for this country. But they chose a different way. I hope Satan can afford the utility bills those two deserve.

If head to head polling is the crux of your argument, you're going to need to consult Cruz's numbers vs Hillary.
And then Kasich's.
Because get what? Cruz loses to her too.
So if those numbers are all you want to talk about, congratulations. You're a Kasich supporter.

I dunno. All I saw around here was Bernie stickers + signs but NC still voted for the Hildabeast.

The whole great lakes region is really its own thing, I'm learning. I attribute it to anti-NY/Yankee sentiment, plus Walker, Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus are all native sons of Wisconsin and they all stumped hard for Cruz.

I think he hasn't gotten enough credit for just how good he is at the basics of political stumping. If he had held any sort of office beforehand or, even if he hadn't, but just taken the time to learn the issues, be just a little more disciplined and not fall for conspiracy shit (a la Carly Fiorina), he would have been a force of nature.

Nice logic, but par for the course from someone with a serious man crush for Trump.
I guess with that logic, why not field David Duke? I bet he's got a decent immigration plan if you're a border hawk. Who cares if he loses every state?
Two candidates within a point of each other in almost all polling is a jump ball. I've even seen recent polls where Cruz is beating Hillary and the same poll shows Trump losing by nearly 10.
A candidate with 10+ points behind and a nearly 80% negative approval rating needs to just have a fork stuck in him, he's done.
Trump will never be President, and your Trump tears will be sweet.

I still say he was a product of the times. Don't forget, this force of nature started to run in 2012 and was done before really even getting out of the gate.
A lot of people wanted someone who would channel their anger. They got that in Trump but the rest of the package was just a bag of toys.

Trump's campaign is weak on organization and policy/detail, plus he shoots from the hip. One of those hip-shooting-from moments was criticism of Scott Walker's policies. Scott Walker has something like an 80% approval rating among Republicans in Wisconsin. So it is a combination of get-out-the vote (an area in which Cruz is strong) plus a self-inflicted wound. In January and February Trump actually led in WI in the Marquette polls. Where he went from there was his own doing.

Mothers story was that she was shopping and:
1: Old dude walks up and offered to buy clothes for them.
2: He is staring intently at 8 yr old girl.
3: Wants to by girl some high heel "Woman's" shoes.
4: Then offers to buy McDonald's for family.
5: Mother allows little girl to go with him to the McDonald's at front of Wal-Mart.
6: Guy walks out with girl, rapes + kills her, then dumps body in church parking lot.
Now, to any person with two functioning brain cells, around about step #3 they would be looking for the nearest blunt object to start beating this guy senseless. How this woman even functions in day to day activities is a mystery to me.

I follow a lot of death penalty cases. There are rape/murder cases with overwhelming evid of guilt where female groupies not only claim they are innocent but always have to say that they would trust them with their children.
