Since it's 2016 board, Jeb (as expected) just announced that he is 'actively exploring' running -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:14 30
- Also, I loved how he said he won't veer right. The far right is going to have a field day with him. *popcorn* -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:22
- Jeb vs the Big Hill would be a respectable effort from the GOP -- nm - budice Dec 16, 07:17 3
  - In all honesty, if we get Bush vs Clinton is 2016, it puts the icing on how fucked up our political system is. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:22 2
    - Makes me wonder why you guys wanted to get rid of kings so badly. -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 07:26
    - On this, we agree completely. -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:23
- Also, I have nothing to base this off of, but I expect someone to make a significant third party run. - Tim Dec 16, 07:16 2
  - If the nominees are Clinton and Bush, I can totally see it. -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:17 1
    - Oh god, then it really is 1992 again. -- nm - Tim Dec 16, 07:18
- Kim and I have been having this conversation. Is the Bush brand damaged? -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:15 21
  - Among Democrats, no question. Among Republicans, probably, but I expect they'll hold their nose if he wins the nomination. - Roger More Dec 16, 07:25 1
    - Your Tea Party comment is exactly why I don't deem Jeb as viable. -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:28
  - In all seriousness, any polibrand like that has people who will always hate it. I don't see the Bush brand any more damaged than the Clinton brand - ty97 Dec 16, 07:17 7
    - That's like saying "both parties do that" imo. W slinked out of the White House with his tail between his legs. - David Dec 16, 07:19 6
      - Obama's gonna do the same. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:21 5
        
        He's not because people have money in their wallets and no inescapable war. - David Dec 16, 07:22 4
        
        His approval rating is in the 30's...he's be repudiated in several elections....he's not leaving head held high. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:29 1
        
        His approval rating is 44. - David Dec 16, 07:31
        
        I fundamentally disagree with your last thought unfortunately. - Mel Profit Dec 16, 07:24 1
        
        Actually, the democrats had a death grip on the House until the 90s. - David Dec 16, 07:27
  - It's damaged, but at this point, every political brand is damaged. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:17 1
    - I'd agree with this. No one is unscathed now. -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:18
  - I think enough time has passed from Dubya. Plus Jeb is a different animal altogether. -- nm - budice Dec 16, 07:16
  - The American public agrees with *Cheney* on torture. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:16 7
    - Counterpoint: Bushes have been in office 12 years. They all proved disastrous. - David Dec 16, 07:17 6
      - People have very short memories. - ty97 Dec 16, 07:19 5
        
        I'm diametrically opposed to you on this one. - David Dec 16, 07:20 4
        
        W left office with an approval rating of 34 (which was actually a spike up from the few months prior). In June 2014, his approval was 53 - ty97 Dec 16, 07:27 1
        
        Right, all people need to do is remind folks why he was so hated. - David Dec 16, 07:29
        
        Remember the story about people blaming Obama for how poorly he handled Hurricane Katrina? -- nm - Ultron Dec 16, 07:22 1
        
        Remember the story about the high school kid who made millions in the stock market? -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:24
My dad just texted me to say that he watched Nebraska last night and all he wants is a new truck and an air compressor. -- nm - Good Baron Wenceslas Dec 16, 07:09
he'll never see it, but i want to say i have a nice husband. he had free passes to The Hobbit for 9am tomorrow and he is not going to take our cat to - Andie Dec 16, 07:07 10
- Tallulah, sumfin wrong? Coolio. -- nm - budice Dec 16, 07:09 4
  - poor Tallulah, :( i think she has a hairball she can't pass, but she's gotten a little hoarse too. -- nm - Andie Dec 16, 07:09 2
    - aw, hope she's better asap! -- nm - b! Dec 16, 07:18
    - :( sorry to hear -- nm - budice Dec 16, 07:15
  - coolio of him to do. -- nm - budice Dec 16, 07:09
- Man, how desperate are people to get out of seeing the Hobbit? *shorts HOBT3* -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 07:09 1
  - heh -- nm - Andie Dec 16, 07:10
- So sorry. If you ask him I am sure he will skip the Hobbit for the cat. -- nm - Ultron Dec 16, 07:09 2
  - yeah, i worded that.... poorly. -- nm - Andie Dec 16, 07:10 1
    - It is okay, Andie. I am glad you can vent to us. He is an asshole. -- nm - Ultron Dec 16, 07:14
Into the Woods: A delightful B+ - Diva Dec 16, 07:03 17
- v. good to hear! (and yah, tim, hush!) -- nm - b! Dec 16, 07:17
- Dear Anna Kendrick, I love you, but you don't have to sing in every movie now, okay? -- nm - Tim Dec 16, 07:06 1
  - Dear Tim...shut your mouth. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:06
- Wow, really? I'm way more excited now. Thanks diva! -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:06 3
  - I wasn't excited at first, because it's low on my Sondheim faves list but I think they do a good job with it. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 07:08 2
    - The bf loves Sondheim, and is definitely excited for this. -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:08 1
      - nmbmdh - spoilerish but not killer spoilers - Diva Dec 16, 07:11
- how much depp was there? because I would not mind taking jz's younger daughter but if depp levels are high, I am out. -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Dec 16, 07:04 1
  - depp is really only in 2 scenes. He actually doesn't get on my nerves in it either. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 07:05
- so its a musical? -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 07:04 7
  - :) - yes - and a good one. Even though a lot of the commercials are hiding that fact. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 07:05 6
    - Yeah, I had no idea from the trailer or the commercials. - spamlet Dec 16, 07:05
    - I saw a very good commercial for it this morning and I asked myself - is there singing in this? -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 07:05 4
      - I was surprised by how well Emily Blunt sings. She's always sort of been a girl crush for me but now I'm totally on board. - Diva Dec 16, 07:07 3
        
        *saunters in...hands you some Petron...saunters out* -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 16, 07:18 1
        
        you are very bad. - Diva Dec 16, 07:19
        
        hee to the IM - Buble is a douche of the highest order -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 07:10
Here's the approximate value of having a PS+ subscription in 2014. -- (link) - Shaun Dec 16, 07:02
"Hillary Clinton Leads Elizabeth Warren 48%-6% In New Poll Of Democrats" Can we really stop now ST? - MDH Dec 16, 06:56 35
- Mentioned before but it amuses me. "Young and exciting" Elizabeth Warren, 65. "Old and tired" Hillary, 67. - Tim Dec 16, 07:02 21
  - If Clinton is smart - and she is - she will make a deal with Warren before anything happens. - David Dec 16, 07:04 20
    - Warren is best in the Senate. She can move the whole dynamic and really help the whole cause. No way she's taking VP or any other Cabinet position. -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:08 6
      - I think the age gap between us reveals itself the most when you talk in absolutes and I talk in theoreticals. - David Dec 16, 07:10 5
        
        Somewhat true. But keep in mind, I am a lot closer to the action here as well. - MDH Dec 16, 07:16 1
        
        Sometimes, it's better to be outside the Beltway. -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:21
        
        Tell her she'll support her to be Senate Majority leader once Harry Reid loses to Brian Sandoval. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:11 2
        
        This is very true. -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:14
        
        God, that would be a dream. -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:14
    - I'm not sure what deal could be made...VP is out of the question realistically....Sec Treasury? - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:05 12
      - Oh, I think VP is very much in play. Treasury is the fallback option. - David Dec 16, 07:06 8
        
        If Warren gets near the Treasury or any instrument closer than she is now - that can damage the financial center, I'll eat my hairball. - Mel Profit Dec 16, 07:22
        
        Man, imagine the reaction with two women on the ticket. -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 07:14
        
        VP is where hope and dreams go to die (especially under a strong'ish leader like Hillary) - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:10 5
        
        Right, that's why it's in play. It negates her. - David Dec 16, 07:12 1
        
        They want late 50's in 2024....no one wants a kid at 41-43 in case HIllary has a stroke. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:16
        
        VP isn't the automatic "next in line" anymore, it's like a Lifetime Achievement Award now. -- nm - Tim Dec 16, 07:11 2
        
        Well, we've had 2 presidents in a row pick elder statesmen becuase of their newb status - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:14
        
        This time will have to work different due to Hilary's age and health scares. -- nm - David Dec 16, 07:13
      - I think at this point Warren wants to stay in the legislative branch. I think that's where she believes she can have the most impact. -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 07:06 1
        
        Yeah, she's the only person when they say no, I think means no in the context of running. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:08
      - I would legit watch CPSAN for this. -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 07:05
- I think Big Hill is playing the cards close to the vest, - budice Dec 16, 07:01 1
  - Exactly. So here's why she is planning this way too... - MDH Dec 16, 07:05
- OBAMA! -- nm - spamlet Dec 16, 07:01
- FWIW (not much) Franken is endorsing Hillary in an interview today -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:00 3
  - I...don't get why? She's not even declared...it's not like it's a fevered rush to endorse people not even running.... - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:02 2
    - It is never too early to start raising money. Never. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 07:04 1
      - Oh, I get that the candidates need money, but endorsing someone this far out...who's not even declared.... - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:06
- It's 2 years from the election, it's 9 months from when primary voters start caring.... - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:00
- Wow, I'm surprised it's this close already. - David Dec 16, 06:59
- She's ahead of the Vice President - yeahh!!!! -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 06:58 2
  - ftr: I am joking -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 07:00 1
    - So is Biden,. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:00

- Whereabout are you at? Downtown revamp is still in progress, they shuttered all the homeless housing and are just getting the affluent crowd in ther -- nm - budice Dec 16, 07:13
- I think they can actually exercise outside there - ty97 Dec 16, 06:58
so, you know how i've become 'old person tech support', well, we got a really sweet gift basket last night - yes, it had cookies! - Andie Dec 16, 06:55 4

- that's lovely. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 06:57
- Awesum. -- nm - budice Dec 16, 06:56

This is a very personal share. Please do not post anything about this on my Facebook. Yesterday my daughter tried to take her own life. - TWuG Dec 16, 06:18 34

Destiny reset day! The Nightfall/Weekly strike this week is brought to you by Phogoth! Arc burn is active so get your weapons ready. -- nm - Shaun Dec 16, 06:10 4
- Thank God. The one last week was brutally difficult. - David Dec 16, 06:21 3
  - That strike is brutal without burns. It was horrible enough with arc burn. I ended up getting the Nightfall done in a 3-man party (yay, MIDA). - Shaun Dec 16, 06:33 2
    - That last area is crazily chaotic. Did you see that a dude is already level 32? -- (link) - David Dec 16, 06:40 1
      - Yeah, 5 days after the DLC hits. Crazy. I'm boots away from having the necessary level 31 gear. - Shaun Dec 16, 06:46
I hope no one had their life savings invested in the ruble. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 06:05 4
- I only invest in the dong. - Krusty Dec 16, 06:09 3
  - Vietnam would actually be a good bet right now. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 06:43
