Election Thread 2016

Gingrich needs to get the fuck out so we can see where his support would land. This race needs to be over ASAP, and he's just prolonging it.

I agree. I want to see what happens.

If Newt's delegates embraced Santorum, Romney could have a real mess on his hands!!

I think it'll be 60/40 or so in Santorum's favor. But that will vary wildly be state, which is really what matters.

I prefer Newt and Paul over the other two, because they are the only two I'm confident will actually reduce spending. Romney will mitigate everything and increase debt by reducing taxes. Santorum will cut taxes on the middle and upperclass and double spending but keep the debt at the same levels by taxing the bottom 50% that do not pay taxes at a full 100% tax rate to cash in on their full 13% of total earned income. That still won't be enough though, so he'll make up the difference by taxing Planned Parenthood.

Newt's "budget plan" is the same as every other Republican: Cut taxes for the wealthy, raise them for everyone else. His deficit cuts are entirely nebulous and non-specific. It's easy to say you want to cut $X trillion over Y years, but where? Well they won't say because (A) they know they can't do it, and (B) every cut pisses someone off.

Their plans target "deficit reduction" by assuming some insane GDP growth rate like 8% every year for 20 years. Even in good times the US GDP ain't gonna grow like that.

[Yoshi]

Just remember which branch of government controls the purse strings. Hint: It isn't the executive branch.

So they can sign or veto bills and even write up proposals, but none of the Presidents' ideas go anywhere without the most broken part of our government that just made a gigantic, unconstitutional power grab.

(CNN) -- Jason Russell, who directed a documentary about a notorious Ugandan warlord that went viral, will remain hospitalized "a number of weeks" to recover from "reactive psychosis," his family said Wednesday.

Russell, 33, was picked up by police last Thursday after several people reported a man running along a San Diego, California, street in his underwear, screaming, sources said.

"Jason's incident was in no way the result of drugs or alcohol in his body," the family statement said. "The preliminary diagnosis he received is called brief reactive psychosis, an acute state brought on by extreme exhaustion, stress and dehydration."

LOL WUT

The filmmaker "has a long way to go, but we are confident that he will make a full recovery," his family said.

[YellerDog]

I hear making movies is like that. Confirm/deny, Doc?

[Doc Holliday]

Absolutely. I do this after every film

KONY 2012 the sequel

[Rumpy]

I think that happened to Walter White too.
