Well, clearly not people in the American Southeast, who couldn't get to work on Friday or Monday (making a closing I'm working on impossible), purportedly because of icy - unsalted - roads.

So, you expect me to believe that you are exercising restraint in connection with (1) gambling and (2) Hillary? Have you forgotten that I know you, both IRL and in LV?

If you know me IRL, you also know I routinely hedge my investments.

Tell you what, you're so sure Hillary makes it to November - then give me odds. I'll go beyond by "Hillary cap" if you give me odds on the Democrat "Field"

I don't disagree with this, but it has the same net effect.

As a matter of fact, the later in the game the Dems change horses, possibly the better for them. Less oppo research and negative campaigning.

I felt the same way about Ted Stevens, Tom Delay, Rostenkowski, Martha Stewart, etc. If the average guy wouldn't be indicted for doing something, nobody should be indicted for it.

Well, given that the grand jury was convened under orders of the Lieutenant Governor to indict Planned Parenthood instead, I have no problem whatsoever with this one. And the average guy doesn't try to buy fetal tissue, so I'm good with that indictment.

No you're not. You're saying that the particular authors of the articles you singled out as examples of the progressive movement I love so much is full of lunatics. Of course, your definition of the progressive movement is woven out of complete bullshit, so you're not really saying anything.

Your guys (i.e., current leadership and the candidates for leadership of your party) are bat shit crazy. It's not even up for debate.

Just stop it. From the ridiculous talk of carpet bombing of countries back to the stone age (hell, all foreign policy quotes), to the complete dismantling of the IRS and whatever other branch of government they currently dislike, to the racist and exclusionary talk, to the reconstitution of our country as a fundamentalist Christian nation, to name just a few things, your guys are dangerous as hell.

Don't need it. "The Republican Party" is the perfect shorthand for the brand of lunacy that encompasses your quotation.

Do you disagree? Like your Chive links, I can pull up and repost 50 similar lunatic links from purportedly mainstream sites like Salon and Slate daily. Someone far less lazy than me posted that screenshot, and I thought it was a perfect nutshell.

...Of course, your definition of the progressive movement is woven out of complete bullshit, so you're not really saying anything.

My definition of the progressive movement is woven directly out of the crap* folks like you post here, which I like to think that even you don't believe half of.

...Your guys (i.e., current leadership and the candidates for leadership of your party) are bat shit crazy. It's not even up for debate.

"Not even for debate." Wow. Let's play that game. "Hillary Clinton is a lying, felonious, woman-abusing narcissist who has done nothing [successful] in her life, unless cutting back-door deals as SoS to make money for her family foundation counts. It's not even for debate."

...Just stop it. From the ridiculous talk of carpet bombing of countries back to the stone age (hell, all foreign policy quotes)

Unlike Obama, who just haphazardly carpet bombs all the time. LessinSF has my proxy on this one.

... to the complete dismantling of the IRS

Um, why not? They keep "unexpectedly" erasing hard drives under subpoena - whereas if you can't find a receipt from 2007, they'll haul your ass in, file a lien, and make you pay to defend yourself. They are the modern-day Stasi. They should indeed be dismantled, and their senior officials should be jailed.

...to the racist and exclusionary talk

the only racist and exclusionary talk I hear these days comes from Progressives and their fringe BLM and La Raza types wanting to re-segregate portions of college campuses. BTW, aren't only 3 caucasians running for POTUS on the Democrat line? How utterly racist and exclusionary of them.

...to the reconstitution of our country as a fundamentalist Christian nation

Oh fucking stop. No one is calling to reconstitute the country as a "fundamentalist Christian nation." First of all, there is no such nation existing on the planet, let alone here. Preaching "Judeo-Christian" values is hardly the same thing, and not exactly a bad thing either, since those "values" tend to foster family and work-ethic. But since you brought it up, let's point out that parts of Scandinavia, France, Belgium and other parts of Europe are quickly finding out that there actually is such a thing as a "fundamentalist Muslim nation". Reminding folks of that - and not wanting the same here - is hardly the same as wanting a "fundamentalist Christian nation."

...to name just a few things, your guys are dangerous as hell.

I'm amazed you left out being champions of Second Amendment rights. Because being able to own a gun and defend myself is certainly far more dangerous than preventing me from owning a gun and preventing me from defending myself when I get shot and my family is raped before the police arrive, maybe.

What I enjoy most about these rants is hearing about how great capitalism is from a salaryman whose biggest risk has been betting against Hilary, how great Christianity is from a guy who probably hasn't seen the inside of a church since his wedding, how great guns are from someone I could outshoot even if I haven't touched a gun in 20 years, and so on and so on. What a lazy-assed self entitled whiner!

Put down the gun, you can't handle it anyways, take in a mass, start a business and then come talk to me about how Vegans are destroying Merica.

Get real, your middle name is "Whiner".

Every minute that passes, your prediction gets weaker.

Also, she will not get indicted because she (probably) did not do anything indictable. But carry on.

Is this a political indictment?

I don't know anything about who would get indicted under Texas law for trying to buy baby parts with a fake ID. Seems entirely possible that the universe of potential violators of the "no baby parts" statute is made up of these guys.

This is actually true if you look at the data.
