They've got some "undercover video" with a doctor discussing the donation of tissue for medical research over lunch. Apparently him being nonchalant and eating while discussing disposal of what's left after an abortion is going to be a big issue amongst Republicans.

The medical director of planned parenthood in LA was caught on tape joking about wanting to buy a Lamborghini with the money made from selling the organs of aborted fetuses.

Nuclearmonkee posted:Is there some new right wing insane reason or is it just the normal irrational hatred though? It'll be the standard stuff ("Planned Parenthood was founded by a Eugenicist!"), mixed with the assertions supported by the recent (edited) sting videos ("Planned Parenthood is a FARM FOR BABY ORGANS!"). The underlying critique in all of it being that PP is somehow coercing or tricking women into having abortions against their will or without fully informed consent.

Pinterest Mom posted:In a hypothetical general election match-up between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, white registered voters were split 50-46 according to a new poll from CNN/ORC. Fifty to 46, with a margin of error of 4 -- meaning that it's essentially a tie. I'm not sure if the author of that article realizes this, but getting 50% of the white vote would actually be a horrible result for the Republicans. (For comparison's sake, Romney won 59% of the white vote in 2012.)

I mean 50% is still a horrific amount for Trump but it's nowhere near enough to win anything national. Also blah blah polls this far out. But any poll that can be spun into Trump's favour in the GOP clown car accident is excellent news. Sulphagnist fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Jul 27, 2015 |

If it's only just half of white folk that are Republican, they don't stand a chance in hell, especially with them using foghorns in lieu of dogwhistles and straight up calling Latinos rapists. 1964 here we come

Samurai Sanders posted:I wasn't expecting him to comment at all. What is that Napoleon said, that you shouldn't interfere with your enemies when they are busy destroying themselves? Huck is a pretty minor candidate, Obama is just trying to make sure everyone hears about his comments while at the same time tying them to all Republicans. And since Republicans must reflexively disagree with Obama on everything they'll probably all start calling the deal the second holocaust from now on.

Yeah, Obama has the rare luxury of being able to get Republicans to double down on gently caress ups by simply calling it a gently caress up. Signalling that the still fringe usage of language linking the deal to the Holocaust and the death of Jesus is dumb, simply ensures that it becomes more popular among Republicans. Still waiting on the Obamas to talk about how much they love breathing. DynamicSloth posted:No Democrat has won a majority of the white vote in the last 5 decades, that article is incredibly torqued.

Kalman posted:Every single one of the characters in Watchmen is reprehensible. That's basically the point. It's basically a treatise on the US' slide into paranoid imperialist hegemony (for all the wrong reasons) during the cold war. The heroic characters represent the various competing ideologies along this line of dialogue (including the indifference of the younger owl/specter who given't a single gently caress as long as they can just gently caress like sea weasels in the owlmobile) with the blue guy representing "the atom" as applied for peace and war being courted and fought over by everyone until it's used as an illusion by the accelerationist guy to kill millions in the hope of uniting humanity over the wreckage while he fucks off to Antarctica and grins at the news feed. In short, yeah everyone is a bastard but they're not all outwardly evil.

Who was the last business mogul to become a president? Someone like trump where they actually worked for their money (in the sense that Trump works his family wealth) as opposed to someone like Bush who passively got money from his family wealth. Did Kennedy even run anything worthwhile?

Carter was a pretty successful farmer, IIRC, and HW Bush made a lot of his money on his own although helped by his family connections. But I think you have to go back to Hoover to get a real self-made business mogul.

Warren G. Harding was a successful (and self-made) businessman before taking politics as his main occupation, does this count? Harry S. Truman also owned a business for a while, but wikipedia doesn't say if it was any success or not.

Hey, I may have missed this, but has anybody confronted Trump about the last bit of bullshit Birtherism he came up with, I want to say right about the 2012 elections? Said he had tons of detectives who came up with amazing information in Hawaii, then *crickets*.

Bob Ojeda posted:Yeah but gently caress Warren Harding Interestingly, Harding died a popular president but was later exposed as one of the worst. Also interestingly, should Trump actually somehow win the general, he would be the first non-general/diplomat/sitting politician/veep to run your country. Edit: considering from the previous position held to be elected to run your county, if my wikipedia is correct.
