No. The reason that the GOP ended up with Satan’s Anus as their nominee is because that is what GOP voters in primaries preferred.

Trump definitely does more than pay lip service to the radical/reactionary wing of the GOP. Bush, McCain, and Romney would kind of, sort of hint at things to placate that part of the GOP, but Trump just goes full bore. He is much closer to a lot of the House and/or Senate nominees the GOP has had in the last couple of cycles.
But if we’re going to play the chicken and egg game, I think it’s fair to point out that the Sharon Angle, Christine O’Donnell, Joni Ernst, Ken Cuccinelli, Ted Cruz types started actually getting nominated (rather than running as Gary Baueresque agitators) after Obama won in 2008. These are the people that GOP voters chose to represent them, plain and simple.
Secret service says there were about 15 protesters outside the Iowa Trump rally at one point but they “got bored and went home.”

Meth is a thing everywhere.
I live in a fairly upscale part of metro Atlanta. When we first bought our house 19 yrs ago, the house next door to us belonged to an older couple who let their adult daughter and little grandson move in. The older couple had kept the place as a rental when they downsized.
We moved in during the summer and I was so busy with a then 3 yr old and unpacking and settling in that I didn’t pay much attention to what was going on. A few months later, when it got cold out, I saw the little boy outside (he was probably 7 or 8) in nothing but his pajamas with a BEER. I called the cops. The next morning I heard water running, they had hooked up a hose to our house and an extension cord to our outside outlet. After that things unwound really fast. The DEA came to our house and asked a bunch of questions, Children’s Services showed up and asked if I would testify to neglect if I was needed, the cops showed up and it turned out there was a sizable amount of meth in the house along with other drugs. Hazmat people showed up because there was not only meth crap everywhere, but the two car garage was packed floor to ceiling with trash, (this explained the rats in our pool). There was a dog that was chained outside, I don’t think it ever got fed or watered until we snuck over there and took care of it. So yeah, this shit can happen anywhere. Just like heroin used to only be a problem in “other places”, it’s also a suburban problem. Drugs of all kinds effect every level of wealth and race now.

From the PredictIt comments, a McCain apparatchik IIRC:
“Donald Trump is Todd Akin. He is Richard Mourdock and Sharron Angle. But that is really not fair to Akin, Mourdock and Angle. They weren’t nuts. They had political views and others that made them unelectable. With Donald Trump, it is instability. He is an absurd candidate for president. He is a neutron bomb that has gone off in the Republican Party that is destroying anyone near him.”

Even if it’s true that the Iranians wanted the cash in hand before releasing the US prisoners (confirmation from a non-wingnut source needed), that doesn’t change the fact that the money in question was owed to Iran.
Trump just said he invented saying people were temperamentally unfit to be President.

The problem we’re having here, as well as in other parts of the country, is that the heroin is being cut with fentynal (sp?) which is the same crap that killed Michael Jackson and Prince. Other stuff is used too, but when you put two powerful drugs like that together, people are going to die.

re: #101 calochortus
Speaking of arrested, the nut waving a gun around at the Portland demonstration who claimed to feel threatened, is the lucky recipient of a 21 count grand jury indictment.
While I think he does need to go to prison for a reasonably amount of time, having 21 counts of crime for a single incident is not representative of a health justice system.
It’s pretty clearly designed to try to get him to take a plea bargain to avoid going to the full trial.

That’s probably the least objectionable thing about the bunch he picked. As Justin Wolfers noted, Trump picked people who are part and parcel of the vulture capitalism set. Not an economist among the bunch.

Deputies: Man arrested for having sex with goat
PAUDLING COUNTY, Ga. - A man was arrested Friday for having inappropriate relations with a goat on Friday, according to the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office.
Freddie Wadsworth, of Douglasville, was charged with bestiality. Deputies said they responded to a report of an indecent exposure along Peggy Meadows Way. Neighbors told deputies they saw a man performing a sexual act with a goat.
The human perp, Freddie Wadsworth. No photos of the goat have been released.

Each count is probably one for each person who came forward and filed a complaint against him. The stupid shithead didn’t just endanger one person with his recklessness, he endangered MULTIPLE individuals. As a firearms owner, I want to see this stupid piece of shit taken down hard
