    - Sarah Palin sunk herself and McCain by not knowing shit about foreign policy. They need to study the basics at least. Mexico = Basics, it borders us -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 15:10 2
      - I think she sunk them by not only not knowing, but seeming to not want to learn or incapable of even learning such info. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 15:12 1
        
        I wonder what day was the first day McCain realized he made a mistake picking her. Had to be the first week at least. -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 15:22
  - Eh. That should be basic homework. I'll give them a pass for not knowing the president of Uruguay, but Mexico they should know. -- nm - pmb Feb 17, 14:58 5
    - Why? - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 15:08 4
      - It's a country that borders ours maybe? We have a huge trade agreement with Mexico and Canada. - Bacon Feb 17, 15:12
      - They are trying to show they have the ability to handle foreign policy matters, and in respect of Mexico one of our biggest trade partners and a - pmb Feb 17, 15:12 2
        
        It doesn't seem much different than "Can you point out Iraq on this map?" to me. -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 15:17
        
        Cuzzin Todd spent too much time at his Brother's Bar today. -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 15:13
- So? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 14:37 4
  - Remember when Howard Dean went down in flames for a Yeaaah! yell? Yeah, good times. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 14:41 3
    - Except that nobody in the US cares who the president of Mexico is. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 14:50 2
      - It doesn't take much. Michael Dukakis riding around in that tank looked so wrong, I couldn't take him seriously after. -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 14:53 1

Does 9% of Republicans in New Hampshire going for Weld any cause for hope? I don't think 9% crossed over to hillary in 16 -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 17, 13:38 2
- I’m registered Republican because the Republican Primary is basically the election in non statewide or national races here. -- nm - Dano Feb 17, 13:45 1
  - As a young adult. I followed the family tradition of registering Republican, so we could vote against the asshole twice. Oddly... - zeitgeist Feb 17, 14:27
Austin Ekeler pullups, good luck with those -- (link) - budice Feb 17, 13:37 2

        this bit about in network/out of network is insanity to me. - Reagen Feb 17, 14:20 6

        It's going to have to be done in stages. Medicare/Medicaid was stage 1. Obamacare was stage 2. Oliver doesn't like it (shit sandwich analogy) - Bacon Feb 17, 14:30 3
        
        What should have happened was for the ACA to include a public option. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 17, 14:44 2
        
        Things have to go a step at a time. Big change is really hard. I always said about the ACA that the most important thing was that it exist. -- (edited) - pmb Feb 17, 14:52
        
        The ACA barely squeaked through as is. I think he got all he could with that current batch of legislators. - Bacon Feb 17, 14:48
        
        Exactly!! 100% right!! -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 14:27

        I put the ..... in there but it wasn't clear my meaning I think -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 13:30
I just saw a 5mph accident. guess who won. the 2018 car or the Fedex truck - Peglegpete Feb 17, 12:39 14
- The internet, if there’s video -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 17, 14:31
- fedex trucks are made to recoil off walls and show no damage (afaik) -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 17, 12:55
- I'm guessing the crumple zones worked perfectly on the car and Ralph Nader is the real winner. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 12:45 1
  - yup. lots of crumple, the left front fender came off, lots of little broken pieces on the street -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 17, 12:51
- I'm guessing the truck won the battle, but in court the war will be won by the owner of the 2018 car. -- nm* - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:40 9
  - no. the car pulled out to make a left turn without looking and the truck had the right of way. -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 17, 12:49 7
    - pfft. "right of way." Have you met any lawyers? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:50 6
      - Corporate auto policies have huge limits. Car driver will have a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) and never work again. Millions in settlement - Pippy-with a side eye Feb 17, 13:07 5
        
        Now I'm curious if this actually comes to pass in this case. I expect more of a willy wonka-esque YOU GET NOTHING. YOU LOSE. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:13 4
        
        Nevada has a law if you are 51% or more at fault, you get nothing. A jury has to decide though -- nm - Pippy-with a side eye Feb 17, 13:48 2
        
        the car in front of me pulled forward from a stop sign and turned left into the Fedex truck, your Honor -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 17, 14:06 1
        
        A stop sign?! Dude, you are Fed Ex’s only hope. Unless they got a dash cam - Pippy-with a side eye Feb 17, 14:09
        
        Depends on the state and the laws. CA, NJ, TX great places for a plaintiff. No fault states and a lot of the south, the returns aren't worth it - jnine Feb 17, 13:25
  - "Objection, Your Honor. It was a roundabout. No one understands those." "Sustained." -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 17, 12:45

Just saw a Bloodshot ad on ESPN. So that's happening. -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 11:46 1
- Have seen the trailer in front of three movies so far. If the tv ad is like that you can see why repeated viewings are maddening. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 11:51

    - Eh - I hate Edge of Extinction SO much that I'm tainted against anything having to do with it. (spoils) - Turd Ferguson Feb 17, 12:35
    - I think it's the most brilliant thing they could have done for this season in particular. - David Feb 17, 12:12 4
      - I do like the way this is going and I think it's an interesting thing to throw at these folks. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 17, 12:41
      - Yes. Decisions have consequences. - Dark Callisto Feb 17, 12:14 2
        
        Yes, it really only works in an All-Stars game or one with strong returning players. -- nm - David Feb 17, 12:15 1
        
        OK, I can get behind that reasoning -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 12:26
- I disagree. Spoilers. - Volnelk Feb 17, 12:00 1

This is a new one for me. Apparently Bloomberg is only in the race to siphon votes from Bernie. He's exactly the same as Trump. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 17, 11:41 9
- True story: Turd Ferguson is a regular at my theatre. -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 17, 14:32
- Morton’s Fork. - znufrii, human scum Feb 17, 11:58
- Some of these are actually true. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 11:52
- I do think he entered the race, in part, out of fear of one of the progressive candidates winning. - ty97 Feb 17, 11:44 3
  - I just find it interesting that anything that happens is only happening to keep Bernie from winning. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 17, 12:00 2
    - I think you're about 1-2 weeks away from that being the legitimate storyline. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 12:33 1
      - Though he's on the record as saying he'll spend $1B this election to help the nominee, even if it's Sanders. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 13:51
- Yes, he's a one-percenter threatened by any potential changes to the status quo. -- nm - David Feb 17, 11:43 1
