… “carpet bombing”
Like it’s a thing you just do - maybe like matching the picture frames with the drapes.
It’s a little easier at times to see how you built up to half a million dead civilians in Iraq.
Exactly. This is not something to even vaguely consider in the USA. How could it possibly be demeaning to the democracy.
It’s like watching fucking Deadwood before the gold rush.
I’ve heard that, under Nevada election law, if there is an exact tie in any election, it’s resolved by the two candidates playing a single hand of five-card-stud.
Yeah, it’s exactly equivalent to the coin flip most places use, but it’s still a fun factoid.
Ill pay 100 dollars to my therapist to get the image of Cruz talking about sex in any way back out of my head.
And since I don’t HAVE a therapist, this is saying something!
And how do you feel about that? Did you react the same way to your parents talking about sex? How about your dog?
Our dog never talked about sex.
Really? Mine won’t shut up about it. Excuse me, I have to go take care of another slut . . .
Lassie did do that one bit on cross-dressing, though.
Good Og, man, that is in bad taste. We are talking about Republicans here, a bath house would be more like it.
Has anyone seem the SNL skit yet? Do they ever riff on this idea ore what?
The best line of the skit is when Jeb gets worked up and tells Trump he’s never going to be the next president.
Trump reaponds “No kidding, none of us are, genius.”
I haven’t seen the whole skit yet-- just a few clips from the news. I’ve got it recorded and look forward to seeing it. From what I saw, it looked spot on. And the guy they have playing Trump-- I had to do a double take because it looked so much like the real thing!
You are a cruel person, say such a thing.
I liked the Ted Cruz bit:
[QUOTE=Saturday Nigh Live’s Cruz player]
Isis will hate me, because everyone does. Democrats hate me, Republicans hate me, I have what doctors describe as a most punchable face.
[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure that was Darrell Hammond as Trump, Beck Bennett as Cruz.
Beck Bennett was Jeb! and Taran Killam was Cruz.
Finally saw the whole skit. Jebus, but they nailed it!!
That *might *be UL or it *might *have been true in the past.
Current reality NRS: CHAPTER 293 - ELECTIONS is rather more prosaic: Tied candidates draw lots under the supervision of the Secretary of State.
Interestingly, this section explicitly doesn’t address Presidential elections. That’s handled in NRS Section 298 NRS: CHAPTER 298 - PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS AND ELECTIONS. Which is about electors & such, and requires they vote for the candidate who got the most popular votes. But says nothing about what to do if a tie occurred in that popular vote.
See #6:
In the bizarre, Carsonian world of inappropriate analogies or twisted metaphors, he means that anyone who survives the massive bombing which causes thousands of deaths will feel grateful once they understand The Big Picture, that it was all For Their Own Good…just like surgery is for kids with brain tumors.
(The obvious difference to the rest of us, of course, is that kids who survive brain tumor surgery are…you know, ALIVE at the end of it–and probably much better off than they were before surgery.)
Sigh When Carson isn’t putting me to sleep with his half-closed eyes and soft little voice, he’s stunning me with his extreme delusions and lack of logic.
