They are. Saw the Plastic Beach tour in 2010 at the Gibson in LA, amazing show even though I was in the nosebleeds.

Correct, Vicious had never played bass prior to being recruited into the band and was selected solely because he had the right look and attitude. Guitarist Steve Jones tried to teach him bass but Vicious still sucked so bad that Jones ended up overdubbing all of the bass tracks on the album, and the band would…

I play a bit of guitar and always wondered why that effect pedal had the name "flanger". It just sounded like nonsense.

One man lying about his political beliefs is not a "conspiracy". You need to learn what words mean.

You seem confused about what a conspiracy theory is.

Well, let's see:

Okay what?

Cruz is a real conservative. Trump is not a real conservative.

She phrased that pretty brilliantly. "Affected by" the ACA could mean you got cheap subsidized insurance through the exchanges, or it could mean that the premiums on your old plan shot up 400%. Pretty much everyone in the room had a reason to stand up, regardless of whether they supported or opposed the ACA.

Supposedly the GOP wants to Rick Perry to challenge Cruz in the 2018 Senate primary. And if polling is any indication, he would annihilate Cruz and easily win the general.

Democrats have zero shot of taking back the Senate (in fact they'll probably lose a few seats), but they are pretty much a lock to re-take the House, based on historical precedent. New presidents usually lose a ton of House seats in the first midterm after their election.

What Blue Dogs? They were almost all voted out of office years ago (mostly losing to Republican candidates). There are literally only 13 Congressmen left in the Blue Dog Caucus today. It's a dead movement.

Ever heard of the Tea Party?

Seriously. How much fucking money do these people think he has? If every liberal protester in the country was actually on his payroll, the dude would have gone broke years ago.

"In a choice between a pretend conservative and a real conservative, voters will go for the real conservative every time."

Yelling at people is not "holding them accountable".

Cotton so obviously in the closet it's not even funny. I give it three years before he gets Larry Craig'd.

Imagine if a normal person tried to use this excuse in literally any other context:

It's nice to see all of these people voicing concerns directly to their Representatives. However, these concerns are going to fall on deaf ears as long as the following two things remain true:
