reposted from the last because, just wow. this is the second, and last time i’m gonna have to write something like this.

limbaugh is an effin loon

since recently and temporarily i’ve been driving mom around a bit, i get the car radio. different from what i get at work

so i landed on limbaugh twice. 5 minutes was all i could take and it wont happen again

he’s a liar
he makes stuff up out of whole cloth
he twists the “truth”
and he doesnt support anything he says
and he slowly creeps his arguments from some sort of “specific” into these most general sweeping terms

its clear why people who listen to him for so long continue to. he is persuasive so they think they dont have to do any homework.

first you discount all the conspiracy parts.
90% of the stuff he says is verifiably not true
the remaining 10 is charitably “open to interpretation” under some bizarre point of view

anyway he’s just an “entertainer”, and free speech and all so lies or not, its all good

This election is weird. I find myself reading twitter feeds from anti-Trump Republicans, and I find myself agreeing with them and thinking they’re okay folks, till I run into the ‘Republican’ part of ‘anti-Trump Republican’.

I believe, however, that we really DO need a responsible opposition party, and if somehow magically the anti-Trump Republicans could from the nucleus of that party and eliminate/muzzle the white nationalists and Breitbartians, MAYBE they’d be useful.

Let me add one thing to your description of Limbaugh. He’s boring. Way back when he first was a big deal, I listened to him a little. While I understand that it’s hard to come up with a full program every day, I found him repetitive and tedious. I don’t suppose he has improved in the intervening decades.

Today in Nature, just one of many reasons why Clinton needs to win so big as to flip the House:

How Republicans reshaped the House science committee

Lamar Smith has made his mark on science. As chairman of the US House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, the Texas Republican has launched dozens of investigations into alleged wrongdoing by scientists, environmental groups and government officials. And he shows no signs of slowing down.

Since 2013, Smith has probed everything from individual National Science Foundation grants to government air-quality regulations — issuing an unprecedented 24 subpoenas along the way. And although the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, is foundering in the polls, the party is poised to retain control of the House of Representatives in the 8 November election. That means that Smith is likely to remain at the helm of the science committee for at least two more years.

This goes back to my post from the other day about ‘politics as usual’ - obstruction, government shut downs and filibusters are NOT ‘politics as usual’. That was shit that actually WORKED because people horsetraded and cut deals and gave votes in exchange for a park or a bridge or something, but shit got DONE!

When people started learning about that they recoiled, but the more we’ve tried to eliminate it through getting rid of earmarks, or electing ‘principled outsiders’ in place of ‘career politicians’, the less shit gets done and the more time and money gets wasted, and the lower the popularity of Congress.

It’s funny if you think about it - back when the place was arguably much more corrupt, in the ways we think of corruption, it was much more effective, and much more popular.

Moderator: What plan do you have, Trump, for improving the standing of the middle class?
Donald: We should ask this poor woman who lost her son in Libya, a gold star mom, how she feels about having Hillary as president.

I do actually expect Wallace to try to keep things in line, but I really do think they’re the answer to all of the questions Trump will get asked.

If Wallace doesn’t moderate Trump at all how does that help Fox deal with the next POTUS?

The same way they’ve dealt with the current one I imagine.

Reminds me of my time in graduate school in a Statistics department made up largely of mainland Chinese, trying to explain the 2000 election. There are reasons the Chinese don’t agitate too much for democracy anymore.

OK, the LGF Chapter of Olds can now come to order. How many people here besides you and me read “Fail-Safe” and “On the Beach” before the movies came out? Extra merit stars for actually having ducked-and-covered under a school desk during an air-raid drill.

Re: Malik Obama

If when he accepted the invitation from Trump to attend tonight’s debate, he thought he’d be receiving a call from the WH, he totally underestimated the president. I think BO wrote him off as a grifter shortly after he met him. Shortly after BO left Kenya, Malik ran for a local political position there and tried to tie himself to BO. He is also pissed because he hasn’t been invited to the WH. I have a brother that I love dearly, but I don’t have much contact with him even though we live in the same city. I know my brother is a 1st Class sh*t stirrer who is always putting himself in others’ business but never wants anyone to insert themselves into his. He has what I call a “kingmaker wanna be” personality, and although I love him, I cannot permit him to run my business and his. He recently caused a huge rift to develop between himself and my youngest brother because of meddling in my youngest brother’s personal affairs.

Given the level of insanity and desperation that Donald Trump is exhibiting - especially during the last week, please tell me that the Secret Service detail not only screens the debate attendees but also the candidates themselves. If Hillary really gets under his skin tonight, the chances of him doing something really rash is a value much higher than zero.

lawhawk  Oct 19, 2016 • 6:02:58pm

If there’s an admonition for no one to talk or cheer or applaud during the debate, why have any audience at all. That’s just begging for applause and interruptions.

And what is the over/under on one of Trump’s nuts starting something to try and get attention off the fact that Trump’s failing for three straight debates?

That’s all while Trump is also lying about 75% of the time he opens his mouth.
