16 Who said Scankles was anti-gun?
On this day one year ago the news was this:
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton will propose new gun control measures, including a vow to employ executive action to expand background checks for firearms sellers at gun shows and online.
http://fxn.ws/1Rq9Moo
Yes, the lying Scankles came forth and spewed the same old Democrat lie about guns shows and "loopholes" that do not exist. The broken down old beatch vowed to end this loophole that does not exist and even though all the polls ran by the MFM are lies, she still has some real worshippers that want their free shit. And I would ask, why isn't Trump mentioning this at all?Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at October 05, 2016 06:57 AM (mpXpK)

I think that plan might backfire if....and it is a big if....the opposition can make the case that single payer will be the same type of care as the VA, Medicare, etc. In other words, single payer is easier to sell if the gov't had looked semi-competent before pushing for it.Posted by: WOPR - Nationalist at October 05, 2016 07:01 AM (Ee2nz)

27 Didn't watch the debate but went back and watched a few clips. Kaine and was just as bad as the comments indicate. Smarmy, sleazy smirking...As I recall when he was picked he was presented as a moderate, responsible Dem that could work with business and Republicans. Really? Compared to Hillary, maybe. In any case Pence cleaned his clock and even the moderator couldn't save him. . Unfortunately, Kaine's style is what appeals to half this country who look at Pence and see their HS principal or "the man" and somebody to be mocked.

42 Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes.
During the 1930s, actor Alfred Lunt and his wife Lynn Fontanne (known popularly as "The Lunts") were the power couple on Broadway, appearing in over twenty shows together and even achieving the rare compliment of having a show - Noel Coward's Design for Living - written for them.
Both were friendly and well-liked, though Lynn sometimes had an acid tongue and could wield it without pity. The story goes that, at one party (and don't these stories always happen at parties?), Fontanne was greeted by Tallulah Bankhead. "How lucky you are to be married to Alfred Lunt, darling!" cooed La Bankhead. "His acting, his directing, his theater sense! Where would you be without him?"
Without missing a beat, Fontanne replied, "Probably playing your roles . . . darling."
Hope you all have a wonderful day.Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at October 05, 2016 07:17 AM (X6fMO)

Are there any States that don't have a death tax? SC doesn't have a Death Tax per se, but SC income tax is tied to the federal tax which DOES have a death tax if the estate has an assessed value in excess of ~5M. So if an estate has to pay the feds they will also be indirectly paying the State here, yet the liberals in State government can still claim we don't have a "death tax".Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at October 05, 2016 07:20 AM (mpXpK)

If you are really interested, call your local Republican Party and tell them that you wold like to volunteer for ballot security. They never have enough poll watchers. There will often be an evening of training and then you will get the address of the polling place where you are going to spend your day. Bring your lunch and a thermos of coffee. Definitely bring your cell phone. Leave your gun at home or in the car. I also like to bring a box of donuts or kolaches for the poll workers. Sometimes it is OK and sometimes you spend a day in a room full of people who hate you. In any event, you keep the Democrats honest in that place that day.Posted by: Obnoxious A-Hole at October 05, 2016 07:45 AM (+QFqi)

As much as I hate tax increases, I don't have much of a problem with a higher gas tax in NJ. It's the 2nd lowest in the country and hasn't been raised in decades. Something like 30% of the gas bought in NJ is by out-of-state drivers. They want to use NJ roads so much? Fine, then they should help pay for their upkeep.
NJ is also getting a slight reduction in the sales tax as part of the deal.

Maybe you misunderstood me. Christie didn't get rid of any tax. He gave up an immediate tax increase, a huge one, in return for a promise of future action by a Democrat legislature that will happen after he leaves office (and a Democrat governor is likely in office). He didn't get anything for the increase, in other words.
As far as the reciprocal agreement goes my reaction is that it doesn't reduce anyone's taxes. New Jersey is a mess, as far as I can tell.Posted by: MTF at October 05, 2016 08:03 AM (TTgpD)

Carrier George Washington to deploy for Hurricane Matthew relief
The U.S. military's massive disaster relief machine is kicking into gear.
The government of Haiti has requested U.S. aid as the slow-moving Hurricane Matthew pounds the island, according to a USAID spokesman. The aid organization has also activated its disaster response team.
The carrier George Washington and the amphibious transport dock Mesa Verde put to sea Tuesday with Navy and Marine aircraft aboard and are headed to the Caribbean to provide relief from the storm if needed. The GW's air wing is composed of V-22 Ospreys and MH-60 Seahawks, sources said.
The hospital ship Comfort is also gearing up for the major operation, but has not yet left port. The ships have not been issued any official orders tied to Haiti's request for assistance, said Cmdr. Dave Hecht, spokesman for the Naval Air Forces, Atlantic.
...
U.S. Southern Command has also redeployed nine Marine helicopters and 100 personnel from Honduras to Grand Cayman to prepare for relief operations, according to a SOUTHCOM release.
Members from Joint Task Force-Bravo and Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force-Southern Command boarded CH-53E Super Stallions, CH-47 Chinooks, and UH-60L Black Hawks and shipped out early Tuesday, according to the release, and are standing by for "heavy-lift support," according to the release.

137 In 2008, Obama won with a three-pronged constituency: progressives, young people, and minorities. By 2012, the constituency had morphed to young people, minorities, and the mentally retarded. 2016 sees Clinton struggling to gain the lost youth vote and hold the minority vote (following a charismatic half-black man is a tough act for a beta-version cylon woman to follow). The retarded vote appears to be split between stay-at-home Sanders mutants and the rest of Clinton's white constituency.
And yet, she still appears positioned to win, if she can just hold the retarded coalition that Obama built.Posted by: General Zod at October 05, 2016 08:09 AM (Bdeb0)

Realize this. Most of that gas is deliberately purchased by people from out of state is because the price is much cheaper than NY or Connecticut. The bulk of those purchases will end once there is no incentive to buy there. People will then find alternative ways to reduce their gas price locally (e.g. Points programs that give money off per gallon with each purchase ).
NJ will never collect the amount they are projecting from out of state purchases. And the people from out of state who have to purchase (because they are traveling across the state and have no choice ) will never make up the gap.
NJ will then still be stuck with a budget hole.Posted by: Marcus T at October 05, 2016 08:12 AM (1Njtx)

My family on the coast of SC are in a wait and see. Just got off the phone with one. He's trying to figure out what to do. He said people are already evacuating, even yesterday.
They did reserve a hotel inland for the weekend, just in case.
He's just getting important things together and getting stuff inside, like the grills.
But, he's got the day off. And many businesses are already closed or closing at noon. School's out of course.
One of my other brother's won't budge. He's going to ride it out no matter what.Posted by: artisanal 'ette at October 05, 2016 08:16 AM (qCMvj)

Not
sure about how it all works, some toll roads were grandfathered in when
the interstates were made. (NYS Thruway, for example). Yet when PA
wanted to make I-80 toll, it was turned down by the Feds....

They rubber stamp every one asked for now. I think NC applied for one last year for I-95. And IIANM that will leave SC as one of the last States left that is not a toll road. I haven't been up 95 lately so don't know if NC has yet implemented it. I know as of last year I-95 was not toll in GA and FL either. But I am sure that is coming.Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at October 05, 2016 08:46 AM (mpXpK)

He did make a GREAT point that a movie about what happened between Return of the Jedi and Force Awakens would have been way more interesting than The Force Awakens was.

All of his Star Wars reviews have been pretty long. I think his Revenge of the Sith interview was approaching two and a half hours.
Agreed. A movie between RoTJ and FA would have been far more interesting. I thought he also made a great point about them making diversity a big deal but somehow it didn't make sense for them to go with a Finn-Rey romance and tied it back to Star Trek having the first interracial kiss 50 years ago.Posted by: Independent George at October 05, 2016 08:47 AM (BDZWU)

Kaine thought that interpreting and acting like an ass would make him look beta. He could not have looked more gamma - especially with that line. And no matter what PC thing women might say, we do not respect gamma males.
Pence did defend Trump - but also looked like his own man. Conservative voters watched him and thought he could certainly be president.

I too think it's wrong to just dismiss polls out of hand at this
point, but there is one thing to keep in mind...forecasting a turnout
model this year is, well, really difficult. Most pollsters will take
the previous election turnout as a base, but you have to assume the
candidate will pull those numbers. Try as I might, I just don't see
Clinton pulling in Obama numbers from the Dem base.
It's a valid thought that Trump is going to outperform the polls,
though I think the margin is going to be mostly from Clinton
underperforming hers.
=========
The thing that makes me sick to my stomach is, in 2012 I (and a lot of us) were certain that there was no way Obama would get the same level of turnout as he did in 2008.

Kaine got plenty of uninterrupted time to blather on about how awesome Hillary is and how horrible Trump is. Anytime Pence got on a good roll, Kaine disrupted it.
Clinton folks - and SJWs - think of that as a win. They got to say what they wanted, got to prevent the other guy from saying what he wanted.
But one thing that Master Persuader Scott Adams has convinced me of: people do not care about policies. I know we have some phrase for that about the Left, that they don't believe in what they say they do, but I think it is true of almost everyone. Yeah, some people really really really care I get it. But mostly, no, they don't care. They go off of impressions and their contact high.

346 "How does Trump have his "I paid for this microphone" moment?"
Team Hillary have gone with this "Trump is a tax cheat, so he doesn't love America" thing. He needs concise lines that flip around how a billion dollar loss only happens when he had put that much on the line to lose, that he's hired tens of thousands and paid them and their taxes, even if 20 years ago he took some losses.
He could summarize the billions (?) he's paid in all the various taxes, and look at Hillary and maybe for his opening or closing, say:
"You don't understand Americans Hillary, because you don't build or create, you tear down blue collar America as deplorable and racist even as they work side by side with every race. You call the best patriots xenophobic because they love America. You tear them down, but I build and have shaken hands with American builders for 25 years, regardless of their gender, race, or political views.
You've taken millions from the uber-rich and make your money at cocktail parties. You sell political favors, even for Russia or the Saudis. And you ran at least a couple billion through your foundation, so they didn't even pay taxes on the bribes, while only 10% of that charity finds the people in need.
I'm the one that knows how to build. America has a strong structure and a strong people ... I have renovated such structures many times. But you sell political power, call good Americans racists, or basement dwellers, and you feel they owe you. No |Hillary, we owe them ... we owe the American people."

I don't know that there are, but tangential to your question was how Whittaker Chambers became a Christian-which is what drove him to give up being a Communist, and testify before Congress against Alger Hiss et al-
When he was living in DC, undercover with State, I think-I don't remember- he and his wife had a black lady who kept house for them. At meals, they invited her to sit with them, which took her by surprise, since this was the segregated 40's/50's. She said that she had been raised a Christian, and that none of the white Christians she had met had ever done that, even though Christ taught that all were equal. That led to discussions of Chamber's communism and her Christianity, and apparently, to his and his family's ultimate acceptance of Christ.

I checked the turnouts in all the so-called toss-up States and the national turnout. All were lower than the turnout in 2008 for Obama. The Republican turnout was up, but not enough to offset the FSA. The national turnout was about 500K less for Obama.
It will be a LOT lower for Scankles as the record black turnout turns to shit.Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at October 05, 2016 09:39 AM (mpXpK)
354 >>>335 I don't think Clinton will get nearly the amount of voters that Obama hot in 2012. No one likes her and she's not black. Being a woman isn't going to help her much, and she is tied to O's policy's that she can't go against. I think try as they might, even the MSM can't pull that circus over the finish line. She'll have to resort to vote fraud, and that's where I'm worried.

If you were to take Chip or Dale, of Disney chipmunk fame, and feed them
a meal of coffee and amphetamines, they'd sound just like Tim Kaine.
The guy is so wired I'm surprised his skin still fits him. Also, and
this is a mean comment on his looks, but I became weirdly fascinated by
his jaw and mouth. They look like something one would see on a
ventriloquist's dummy. The flapping jaw and smile that never reaches his
eyes are weirdly disconnected, in an almost psychopathic way. I would
not want to meet this man in a dark alley. He's Joe Biden, only more
vicious.
