You know im really looking forward to seeing Captain America :Civil War but i think Republican Party Civil War will be better -- nm - eag Mar 2, 07:27 12
- I would love to see the Trump - Cruz double team action on Hilary - groiny Mar 2, 07:30 4
  - It would be verbal and she would destroy them. -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 07:32 3
    - sure, because she is a dirty filthy liar who eats babies. -- nm - groiny Mar 2, 07:32 2
      - That's too far. - ML Mar 2, 07:34 1
        
        that is because she eats the bones too, there is nothing left but a rattle. -- nm - groiny Mar 2, 07:34
- I don't know why anyone is actively enjoying this, even if you're not a GOPer. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 07:30 6
  - It's making me sick to my stomach to watch. It's embarrassing and offensive. -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 07:34
  - It's a disgrace, but man is it fascinating to watch -- nm - Remlik Mar 2, 07:32
  - American politics has reduced itself to puerile entertainment. At least Cap 3 has an ending. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 07:32
  - The only reason that person is being actively investigated is due to the idiocy of the other party. -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 07:31 2
    - No argument there, but it's still not a unworrying concern - Will Hunting Mar 2, 07:36
    - And "innocent until proven guilty by the Supreme Court" is a thing ... - Beryllium Mar 2, 07:33
I knew we'd have to know at least one. -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 07:24

  - or a sausage sub, if they have it. -- nm - colin Mar 2, 07:28
It's gotten to the point where I actually have a hard time saying Trump without mixing some Drumphf in there. - Mel Profit Mar 2, 07:17 6
- Good lucking getting anything done with him as President. - budice Mar 2, 07:19 2
  - He'll fire a cabinet sec every week. Anytime anything goes wrong -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 2, 13:07
  - it's going to be soooo much fun!! -- nm - colin Mar 2, 07:27
- President Drumpf - Spawn Mar 2, 07:18
- you could make it easy and just start calling him Pres. -- nm - groiny Mar 2, 07:18 1
  - The more I read about him, the more I think Clinton will cut him up into little pieces. No one really took him seriously. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 2, 07:32
New 'Finding Dory' trailer -- (link) - ML Mar 2, 07:13 [youtube] 6
- I really want this to be good but the trailer is not that hot. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:19 4
  - I would be worried, but most Pixar trailers do nothing for me. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 07:22 3
    - At worst it will be a one time view that will be just fine. - Spawn Mar 2, 07:23
    - Cars 2 -- nm - groiny Mar 2, 07:23 1
      - I think Up is their masterpiece and that trailer did absolutely nothing for me. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 07:26
- Excellent song selection. -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 07:15
Oh boy! Just found out my old boss, who told me I should go for promotion, told the promo committee he didn't support me for promotion. - colin Mar 2, 07:00 8
- A regular Chuck McGill that one. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Mar 2, 07:21
- yeah F that guy! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 2, 07:16
- yeesh, what an awful person -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:08
- I really have no idea. Did he have someone that he wanted to get his job when he left and you were more qualified? -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 07:07 1
  - no, i wasn't even in the running for it, this was just getting promoted to the next level in my regular job. i have no idea either. -- nm - colin Mar 2, 07:16
- sounds like he wanted to get rid of you. :( -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 07:03 2
  - he was quitting the company. he wasn't even going to be there when i was going through the process.. he just added his feedback on the way out. -- nm - colin Mar 2, 07:04 1
    - miserable wanker. -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 07:05
Happy birthday, Shades/Secretstalker! Woo hoo!!! -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 06:59 3
- Happy happy!!! -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 07:12
- Don Homer! -- nm - Beaker Mar 2, 07:10

We don't think Sanders ACTUALLY wants to be president, do we? -- nm - Ender Mar 2, 06:46 7
- The older the berry, the sweeter the juice. -- nm - budice Mar 2, 06:58 2
  - ! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 07:09 1
    - hey sweetie -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:09
- I sure do. -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 06:57
- I think he'd be happy to be President. I don't think he ever expected to win. - ty97 Mar 2, 06:53 2
  - That's what I'm thinking. He loves giving voice to the progressive views, but whenever he lands a blow on Hill he doesn't seem willing to follow up... - Ender Mar 2, 07:05 1
    - That's part of his style I think. He seems to actually find negative politicking distasteful. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:08
So our "local" outdoor amphitheater has their 2016 schedule out. What would you go see? - oblique Mar 2, 06:44 15
- is this Ravinia? -- nm - groiny Mar 2, 07:18
- BoDeans, Paul Simon, Duran Duran, Bryan Ferry. I would also consider Lyle Lovett/Emmylou Harris and Buddy Guy/Jeff Beck. But that is a lot of shows, for one location. -- nm* - Spawn Mar 2, 07:11
- Bonnie Raitt, Train, Bryan Ferry, Duran Duran would be # 1 on my list -- nm - Epiphany Mar 2, 07:01
- Paul Simon. No acts born after 1970 besides the safe Barenaked Ladies? -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 06:56 2
  - It's in a far suburban area so Boomers is who they want to market too. - spamlet Mar 2, 07:09 1
    - That makes sense. -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 07:11
- Duran Duran, Diana Ross and Don Henley would top my list -- nm - Jim Mar 2, 06:53
- Paul Simon, Diana Ross. I had a friend in university who loooved Guster more than anything -- nm - mafic Mar 2, 06:50 1
  - dano loves guster, I think. -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 2, 07:08
- Simon, Henley, Steve Miller, ladies -- nm - Beaker Mar 2, 06:47
- "Train/Andy Grammer" violated several articles of the Geneva Convention. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:47
- I don't think I'd go to see any of those based on liking them. But there's a fair bit of "I can say I saw X" names there. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 06:46 1
  - Who doesn't want to see Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp? :) -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 06:49
- Neil Finn. Diana Ross (because, Diana Ross). Bryan Ferry. Paul Simon. -- nm - Andie Mar 2, 06:46 1
  - Diana for the same reason. Duran Duran would probably be fun too -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:53
Guys I'm so proud of my state. Country gone crazy, but we got it right. -- nm - ML Mar 2, 06:41 2
- ^^^Bernie Bro. - ty97 Mar 2, 06:43
- Quite interesting for sure. And decisive Bern-ing. -- nm - budice Mar 2, 06:42
Canadian drug store chain Rexall is set to be bought by U.S. health-services company McKesson Corp. in a $3 billion deal -- (link) - Beaker Mar 2, 06:40 2
- Plow that into the Oilers, Katz! -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 06:53
- bah -- nm - Andie Mar 2, 06:40
Searches for "how can I move to Canada" on Google have spiked +350% in the past four hours #SuperTuesday -- (link) - Beaker Mar 2, 06:39 1
- Show me what you've got. Impress me. -- nm - Canada Mar 2, 06:40
AT&T wants to sell you cable TV without cable TV (or a dish) -- (link) - oblique Mar 2, 06:31 3
- You kinda buried the lead, as they want to sell it to those without a tv as well. -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 07:13
- as I said to Hawthorne, until DVR/on demand comes along with these systems they're not really a threat to the big cable companies. - spamlet Mar 2, 06:32 1
  - Though the Verge version of the story does say that AT&T said that on demand content would be part of the package. -- (link) - spamlet Mar 2, 06:38
Did any journalist ask Drumpf anything about David Duke or the KKK last night at the victory press conference? -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 06:30 6
- Meanwhile CNN had some old white racist dude on their panel trying to lecture a black man about how the Democrats are the part of - ty97 Mar 2, 06:45 4
  - As we all know, history stopped in 1958, so... -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 07:00
  - The white racist dude is the author of What America Needs:The Case for Trump - Dark Callisto Mar 2, 06:54 1
    - This made me feel better for a moment and then instantly worse that A) this book exists B) CNN booked him. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:56
  - if you missed it -- (link) - Beaker Mar 2, 06:46 1

funny tweets about Super Tuesday - Republican Style -- (link) - Epiphany Mar 2, 06:28 1
- what happens after " Super Tuesday" -- (link) - Epiphany Mar 2, 06:28
"If Trump secures the Republican nomination, now an increasingly imaginable prospect, the party is likely to implode." - znufrii, Neko Atsume addict Mar 2, 06:27 2
- This is, at best, wishful thinking IMO -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:34 1
  - you mean the Democrats won't make the US a single party state because of Trump? - spamlet Mar 2, 07:06
You know you live in a small town when there is a dog wandering around town at 3am and within an hour, its owner, address, phone number and.... - Walt_Disney Mar 2, 06:27
Heh. My county charged a "Patrick Swayze" with DUI yesterday. - ML Mar 2, 06:25 1
- Ha! Poor guy was born 39 weeks after the release! -- nm - ML Mar 2, 06:46
This tweet gives me anxiety -- (link) - ty97 Mar 2, 06:15 4
- And in Colorado deaths from prescription drugs is at an all time low. I wonder why. -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 06:25 2
  - everyone's too high to take pills? -- nm - decline Mar 2, 06:27 1
    - Haha. *smh* People are finding they don't need them much if at all anymore. The numbers show that it's having a positive impact in this area. - Krusty Mar 2, 06:33
- It helps so many people - I blame the doctors for not monitoring better - Epiphany Mar 2, 06:22
Forget Trump, there's a breaking news banner on CNN right now about a piece of (probably) MH370 washing ashore. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:10 5
- This of course is already being discussed in airline forums. One of the first responses - ty97 Mar 2, 06:21
- almost exactly two years later. -- nm - Andie Mar 2, 06:15
- CNN will now cover this plane 24/7 for the next three months. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:11 2
  - Mo Brooks who supports Ted Cruz is currently on MSNBC saying that Trump had a bad night last night so there's that. -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 06:16 1
    - I do think he underperformed polls a bit but too little, too late and spinning it as a bad night is silly sauce. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:17
Twitter starting the day off right. Well done, internets. -- (link*) - ML Mar 2, 06:00
Tsunami warning cancelled. -- nm - ML Mar 2, 05:58
You know what's worse than an all-day conference? Watching an all-day conference simulcast. - spamlet Mar 2, 05:57
Trump claims he is extending the Republican Party (based, I presume, on the heavily increased GOP primary turnout). Agree? Disagree? - ty97 Mar 2, 05:51 19
- Disagree. Trump voters are Trump voters, not Republicans. -- nm - Ender Mar 2, 06:17 10
  - Which to me prompts the question of why he didn't run as a Dem. -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 06:52 3
    - Because xenophobic and misogynist demagoguery doesn't play as well for them. -- nm - znufrii, Neko Atsume addict Mar 2, 07:01 2
      - Surely he could have figured out the Dem version of that, since he doesn't believe what he's saying... -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 07:20 1
        
        His problem is that the dem version of that is plutophobia, which doesn't play well with his plutomania. -- nm - Ender Mar 2, 07:32
  - But wouldn't that support his case? If these folks aren't (or weren't previously) Republicans, he drew them in. - ty97 Mar 2, 06:20 5
    - Except that they won't stick around if he's not the nominee, and he's losing the #NeverTrump Republicans. -- nm - Ender Mar 2, 06:40 3
      - I worry that the last part won't turn out to be true. - ty97 Mar 2, 06:46 2
        
        (Not saying they'd vote FOR Hill, or that they wouldn't be back once Trump is off the ticket,) -- nm - Ender Mar 2, 06:49 1
        
        Right and right. I don't mean they'll vote for Hill, but can they stomach not voting against her? -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:55
    - Right. And it's about as sustainable as a soap bubble - znufrii, Neko Atsume addict Mar 2, 06:33
- Disagree...more people voting is a positive (as he implies) only if they're voting for you heavily. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 06:01 1
  - I think he is drawing people that always voted in the general, but never saw much point in voting in primaries/caucuses. - TWuG Mar 2, 06:08
- I think that's a very salesman way to say it. It assumes that moderate/establishment Republicans are going to stick with the party no matter what. -- nm - Roger More Mar 2, 05:59
- I think he is pulling in people that do not normally vote, especially in primaries. - spamlet Mar 2, 05:59 1
  - yep - and if Dems aren't worried about Drumpf they're dumbf. -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 06:11
- [deleted]
- He's not wrong. -- nm - znufrii, Neko Atsume addict Mar 2, 05:55
- Just like President Skroob *salutes* -- nm - budice Mar 2, 05:52
Indonesia earthquake now classified as 7.9, down from 8.1 -- nm - zork Mar 2, 05:40
"Republican Ben Carson won no states Tuesday night, but he did regale fans in Baltimore with a 15-minute speech about the Pledge of Allegiance." -- (edited) - volnelk Mar 2, 05:31 1
- I'm still getting paid, so until the money dries up I am in baby! -- nm - Beaker Mar 2, 05:33
[deleted] 23
- Carson stays in until his money dries up. Kasich/Rubio stay for at least two more weeks. -- nm - mafic Mar 2, 06:55
- Sander will be out by 3/15. By that time he'll have lost MI, FL, OH, IL, and NC, and will see the math. -- nm - MDH Mar 2, 06:12
- not all delegates are bound so Sanders, Cruz, Rubio, at least are in until convention. Trump and/or Hillary could blow up somehow. Plus - zork Mar 2, 05:46 1
  - I believe the GOP delegates are all bound. - ty97 Mar 2, 05:47
- Sanders rep says he's in through convention (of course, that's what they to say, but I could see it being true) - ty97 Mar 2, 05:40 1
  - As for the GOP side, I'm beyond having a clue what the hell is happening there. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 05:42
- Sanders isn't going anywhere for a long time. -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 05:37
- Rubio when he loses Florida, Cruz when drumpf has enough to win outright, Carson when the money runs out -- nm - Beaker Mar 2, 05:34
- Sanders I think gets one more week now...Rubio and Cruz I think are in it till the end. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 05:34 14
  - [deleted] 13
    - NY/PA won't make a difference -- nm - decline Mar 2, 06:27
    - Massachusetts. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 05:43
    - I think there was enough vagaries in last night's voting that the Dems can wait another week or two to combine against Trump. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 05:40 3
      - can Bernie run for Governor? Or stay where he is? -- nm - Beaker Mar 2, 05:43 2
        
        I don't think his seat is up this cycle so he's still a Senator. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 05:45
        
        I don't see any reason he doesn't stay right where he is in the Senate. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 05:44
    - Bernie isn't going anywhere for a while. -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 05:38
    - Once it becomes a foregone conclusion, i think he will see that it's better for the party if Clinton can focus on the general. -- nm - volnelk Mar 2, 05:37 5
      - I wonder what it will take for him to see it as a foregone conclusion? -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 05:41 4
        
        Her reaching the delegate count. I wouldn't expect anything resembling an attack at this point. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 05:43 3
        
        but she won't reach for quite some time. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 05:43 2
        
        Right...*throws hands up* I dunno. The logic behind quitting and then not quitting but not actively running is all a grey area. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 05:47 1
        
        Agree with the IM. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 05:48
