The questions weren’t great, but Ted Cruz was asked about his past opposition to raising the debt limit and the current debate over that very point in Congress, and attacked the moderator for not asking “substantive questions”.

He never answered the questions. And pretty much every candidate had a moment like that.

Little gun-shaped candies would have been fine, though.

I keep hoping it happens in a nebulous time “after” all the new changes get thrown away because most of it sucks.

I’m with him on the metric issue. Maybe they should ask everyone who is pro-metric to donate $10, $100 or $1,000 dollars.

Pretty much every time I hear about some 19th or early 20th century imperial adventure I hadn’t heard of before, it’s as bad or worse than anything I’d previously heard about.

It’s a parade of nightmares. The modern world is built on a foundation of mutilated corpses, accompanied by the sounds of atrocity after…

Except that they don’t. The Supremacy Clause states that ultimatly State courts must follow all federal laws when there’s a conflict between the federal law and a state constitution or state law, as long as the federal law is constitutional to begin with. Even treaties trump state laws.

We’ve got some SC opinions…

Sorta like this:

Feces? That may be the best-smelling Subway sandwich shop in the nation.

I’d recommend reading this.

This coming from a movement that - in some states - love to back laws requiring doctors to disclose bullshit risks of abortion that aren’t backed by data. Seems like requiring them to disclose that they don’t have certain kinds of medical personnel is much less of an imposition.

It’s a good thing they diverted cash from school construction bonds to buy that first batch of ipads. It’s really important to borrow money you’re going to pay back over 20 years for technology that needs to be replaced every few.

Ugh, people who were overly suggestable in the 70’s and got into the whole psychic / ESP / whatever thing and never let it go are just annoying as fuck.

He probably spent weeks convincing himself that his pocketknife was sharper because he was placing it under a tiny pyramid every night. That shit really took off in…

Given that they’ve also claimed (in interviews) they’re going to monitor reviews for “bad stuff”, and now this - because nobody will ever open a fake account on behalf of someone else just to trash them - they’re setting themsleves up to be sued by someone who gets abused on this site. After all, if they’re exercising…

Yup. We just put an AT&T M-Cell in the office (in a building with lousy service), and my iPhone 5 - with a two year old battery - now leaves the office every day with 78% to 80% of it’s charge. Before, it was often down around 40% if I didn’t put it in airplane mode + wifi so I at least had some functionality.

Charles Lavoie’s observation that Christ, what an asshole is a universal New Yorker cartoon caption also holds true of pictures of the entire GOP field this year.

Christ, what an asshole.

This. And honestly, I don’t have any interest in cheating. All the sneaking around and lying would just take too much energy, I can’t imagine doing it. Hell, I couldn’t imagine doing it when I was 20 years younger.

At the same time, when you’ve been in a relationship long enough to realize you’re still in that…

And even Reagan’s use was wrong - Winthrop’s use of “city on a hill” was a warning - that all the world was watching, and that if they fell short, everyone would see the result. It’s an exhortation to always do better, and Reagan’s usage always felt like an invitation to assume our own success and rest on our laurels.

…

We’ll see. If the assaulter has the right “background”, she may avoid any real trouble, get offered a deal for some sort of probation and the ability to have a clean record if she doesn’t reoffend after a year or two.

Subcontractors - cutting corners for you, so you don’t have to own up to cutting them yourself.

Glad that SAG-AFTRA was on the ball.

And, as a side note, if they’re having to focus this much on background sexual activity, I’m really wondering if this show is actually going to be any good. It’s possible to overdo it. I…

You know, when I was younger, it was sort of satisfying to realize that, barring accidents or misfortune, I was likely to outlive assholes of a certain age.

I’m old enough now for that to be less likely than it used to be. That being said, I really hope I outlive this asshole.
