A few things that aren’t mentioned here. First, there’s a good chance this bill violates Title IX and may threaten federal funding for NC’s vaunted public university system. Since we have already been cutting state funding, this could pose a serious problem going forward; it could also help undermine the bill too, so…

Which is nonsense, because in a general election Ted Cruz will actually have to explain to people how going from a progressive income tax to a horribly regressive consumption tax will benefit them. He will then have to tell them how gutting social security and medicare will benefit them. Then he’ll need to explain how…

This is good Kinja

Rush is right; I do find him “threatening” but not for the reasons he listed. Instead, I find Ted Cruz threatening because I’m nearly certain that he truly, unequivocally believes the things that come out of his mouth, and that kind of shit should be threatening to most people.

Oh Willard! He sees it all crashing down in front of him, he futilely tries to intervene, but in the end there really is nothing he can do to stop it.

It’s also worth noting how Orwellian his language is. He doesn’t say “In America, we have certain Muslim neighborhoods that produce terrorists. We need to use predictive policing to end this.”* Instead, he seems to be arguing that we should secure all Muslim neighborhoods based on his assumption that because they are…

Oh yes; there is more than a little Bachmann in those eyes.

Here is what Foster’s supporters are saying fwiw

If this means Jim Ross does the commentary, I’m all for it.

Silly man. If he had only called them “Mortgage-Backed Securities” he wouldn’t be going to jail.

Watch him give a fumbled high-five to an intern.

“That’s just how a 78-year-old guy’s dick looks if he’s for Trump. It’s a dick engorged with the blood of a patriot and swollen by freedom. Liberals might not understand how a 78-year-old guy’s dick can do that, but to be honest, Trump supporters are just a different breed and of course punching minorities is good…
