Also with regard to Scalia: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/killed-antonin-scalia-conspiracy-theorists-run-wild-article-1.2533100

There's even a rumor now that his family murdered him for the insurance money. He was a staunch catholic who rejected Vatican 2, but his will supposedly says he wants to be cremated, which would be a no no. There are also claims by the conspiracy theorist he was found with a pillow over his face, and his family was immediately on scene strongly objecting to ay autopsy.

Gotta love them conspiracy theorists. They just keep chuggin' no matter how often reality slaps them in the face/

Dick Cheney isn't a conspiracy theory. Its a punch line.

Cruz and Carson, two very anti-gay candidates, play 7 Minutes in Heaven to hold a meeting. The jokes just write themselves.

awaken_D_M_golem · « **Reply #845 on:** February 22, 2016, 04:44:29 PM »

Cruz is such a total (x)___________ !!

So it looks to me that the R + D races are
gonna be ~predictable from here on out.
Jeb's end is a boon for Rubio. But yeah
that link HA! Carson ain't supporting Cruz.

Sol Eji perhaps you have some insider stuff
on the Sanders campaign ?
He's got enough money to stay in to the end.

Kasich, I left my kitchen to scratch something
my kitty avatar's Tail wanted nothing to do with.

Theres also a video on fb with a stage bearing the trump logo, with white actors in brownface, huge fake mustaches, sombreros and ponchos. They approach a wrestler (?) dressed as trump who beats them up and throws them offstage, whereupon they go back to the end of the line to get thrown off stage again in an endless circle.

Despite (or perhaps because of) this, he's killing it in Nevada.

According to recent polls 70% of Trumps followers believe the Confederate Flag should be flown over the American flag.

30+% believe they'd be better off if the SOuth had won and we became a loose alliance of small states

20% regret that the slaves were freed...

Authoritarianism predicts Trump voters :
http://www.vox.com/2016/2/23/11099644/trump-support-authoritarianism

... it's kinda amazing that that is so exactly it
while otherwise being kinda neutralish on the issues.
I'm sure the StrongMan will fix it whatever it is.

There are hard core Evangelicals in South Carolina
that are flabbergasted how easily their radio show
listeners flipped on the issues just for Trump's 'Tude.

edit ---- the sample size is small, so the margin of error is big. It isn't a scientific poll. But the signal is so F-

-ing strong.

David Duke endorsed Trump.
Trump wavey-handed disavows it
and gets Gov Christie to cover endorse.
But that is his first solid normal Repub.

Back of the envelope math being circulated
that Trump is gonna get enough delegates
to be the Repub nominee ... UNLESS

Rubio wins Florida AND Kasich wins Ohio.

Bhu pick your poison, eh?

Yeah, recent history the numbers usually
came up at 10% in the Ol' Confederacy
and 3-4% outside of it, except for Alaska
where the Natives and some of the crusty
types spiked it up near 10%.

With 8+ years of the Obama HATE hating,
and all of Trump's seed planting, yep those
numbers have just about doubled.

Fun scandal in the news today:

Dem voters are turning out in record low numbers because the Dems botched or didnt mount a get out the vote operation for fear it would only benefit Sanders. DNC vice chair resigned to back Sanders.

Why is this not good news for Repubs? McConnell today told them to accept Trump will win nomination, so to start making anti trump ads that distance him from the party in order to torpedo him in the general, yet still hopefully retain control of the senate.

wtf gummint?
