I'm afraid the idea of the wall is more popular than you seem to think - or relatively less important than other issues to the pivotal segment of population.

TGLT posted:Do you have a specific issue that he flipped on in the middle of the primary? Or is this about his opinions years ago compared to now? On his own website, before the last debate, Trump said that giving visas to highly skilled immigrants was disastrous and part of what was destroying the middle class. In the debate, he was specifically asked about the visas (called H-1Bs) and this is a quote of his response: "I'm changing it, and I'm softening the position because we need to have talented people in this country. We need highly skilled people in this country, and if we can't do it, we'll get them in." Immediately after the debate, Trump issued a statement that he would "end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program." He not only flipped on that specific issue in the middle of the primary, he flipped on it in the middle of the day.

Tom Guycot posted:Oh, I don't doubt most of that really. I think if its brokered, and Cruz has a good chunk of delegates, with Rubio totally collapsing with almost no delegates (which he looks close to doing), I think they would swallow their pride and just let Cruz have it. I'm not so sure. The GOP establishment hates Cruz as well, and I'd say there's a good chance they'd give the nomination to Rubio if given the chance. I think Rubio's likely to stay in it through to the convention on that hope, especially because if he drops out it's less likely that there will be a brokered convention at all. Of course, Rubio is unlikely to be able to beat Hillary, so giving him the nomination is a good way to lose in November. It depends on if the RNC wants to win, or if they want to regain control of their party.

I can't even begin to imagine why people are so irritated by it. If you don't like, it scroll by and pretend it's not there, like some people do for First Dog, and like I do with Xander77's Soviet propagandapalooza posters (no offense to Xander or the Soviet Union). Why do people feel the need to express so much disapproval of something they can ignore? Are they on a tight bandwith budget and every extra post takes away from their milk money or something?

Cloud Potato posted:
For the benefit of our US chums, this refers to the practice of "Fagging" "Fagging was a traditional practice in British boarding private schools (nearly all "public schools" in the English sense) and also many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to act as personal servants to the most senior boys. While domestic servants were common in family households, the custom reflected household task distribution and taught pupils about service from both ends of the relationship. Under school rules, fagging might entail harsh discipline and corporal punishment when those were standard practices"

Adam's goal is to deploy pro-religious satire in order to bring it up to parity with all that anti-religious satire out there (e.g. The Onion, I guess). Like every attempt made in the last fifteen years to make a "Conservative Version Of The Daily Show", I'm sure this will be an immediate hit.

If this was at all self aware, this would absolutely be a The Onion gag, supporting those brave people who have everything going for them for feeling persecuted for the myriad of violence slung at them such as, and, while simultaneously cursing the horrible people who oppress men by unreasonably demanding to be treated with basic respect and human decency. Instead it's this garbage.

Xenoveritas posted:It may not make sense (and you can find really long articles explaining how and why it doesn't) but that is the way it works. Basically (as a contractor) the default answer is "treat everything as classified until told otherwise." Things get weirder for the State Department because they're an original classification authority, but the same basic rules apply. But look at David Petraeus. He ran the CIA, retired, kept a bunch of classified material he was supposed to have destroyed, and handed it over to his biographer, who he was also sleeping with. He got a fine and a couple years probation on a misdemeanor charge. Also-former CIA director John Deutch held onto classified material at home, and he wasn't prosecuted at all. (P.S. drat there are a lot of people trying to sell secrets abroad)

Welcome to March back in... March is when poo poo really went off the tracks. The democratic primary got more heated, and a certain reverend makes his national debut.  1 2The "3am Phone Call" became a persistent meme throughout the election, and I believe it even crept into the 2012 election and has been brought up a few times in this primary. It's ultimately a cheap appeal to fear, but then again that seems to be the name of the game in American politics.  4Terrorism kinda dominated the 2004 election, and you can see remnants of that here. Of course, this would end up on the backburner when the economy exploded.  5Hillary had a bit of comeback in early March by taking two hefty states in Texas and Ohio, which allowed her to justify staying in the race.  6A "tactic" drummed up by Limbaugh was for conservatives who had open primaries in their states to go and vote for Clinton. Dubbed "Operation Chaos," the goal was to prolong the primary in the hopes that the bitter contest would leave the democrats fractured come election day. While this kinda-sorta happened (more on that in about six months), ultimately Operation Chaos was a miserable failure.  7One thing that popped up early in the race is that Obama was somehow this mystery candidate whose past is a complete blank that we know nothing about. This is true...if you ignore that Obama had already written books about his past and had his history scrutinized heavily a la the Birther movement.  8As stated in February, the Clinton campaign got nastier as things started to go south for them. This Lester is  as hell since goddamn conservatives STILL love calling Obama by his full name for that sweet sweet dog whistle. Also, good lord Lester's Obama caricature was looking kinda rough back then. 9Obama helped usher in a tide of youth voters, so suddenly appealing to this demographic mattered. In fact, 2008 had the highest youth turnout since 1992. Don't worry though: turnout was trending downward in 2012, so those punk kids won't dilute your precious vote for tax breaks on hip replacements. See you next week!

Silly hair and self-promoting is a granfalloon not a movement. (Silly hair is the key to 2/3rds of British politicians going back to the 70s.) I say this as a New Yorker who's suffered under an awareness of Trump since the 80s and a weird BritPol-Comedy nerd who hate-adores Boris. and who gives a poo poo about the British PM anyway and the next election isn't until 2020

I feel as if it's apt since the talking point is that if there is a Brexit Cameron will step down and Boris is favourite to replace him. The other scenario is that the UK stays in the EU, Cameron steps down and Osbourne becomes the favourite to replace him. Regardless of what happens Cameron is stepping down sometime between now and 2018 if he is telling the truth and won't contest a third election as PM

Comedians tend to be more depressed, cynical, and unhappy than average. Comedians also tend to be incredibly insightful. Are they related? Probably; the best comedy requires a great deal of insight into what's going on.

Also, if there really was a powerful deity pulling strings to create a just world Adam would lose readers by insulting the people that post feel-good Jesus quotes one day since they are just as likely to post one of Adam's anti-gay or 'why Christians are the real victims' comics the next.
