a clown car full of millionaires: the 2016 presidential primary thread

I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.

hahahahaaaaaa

pretty clumsy (surprise) on Debbie's part but Crow seems like a total loon so it's a wash

Tickets to Rubio's event cost between $1,000 and $10,800, the Morning News reported.

i mean virtually everyone's guilty of that but fuck the fact that there's a signed copy of mein kampf on the premises, i'm more offended that yahoos pay 10 grand to see this schmuck live

For a second I thought I was in the wrong thread, because I saw "Crow" and "Debbie" and all I could think of was

dude have you seen this guy drink a glass of water, shit is off the chain

most people celebrating Showgirls' 20th are doing it in a tongue in cheek way.

It's a great movie.

contradictory thoughts, and yet possibly both false

thread has gotten particularly stupid in the last 24 hrs

prepare for it to get stupider

xps to nazi accident - this was particularly confusing/alarming because there's a free museum in dallas dedicated to Asian art and which is attributed to the crow family. apparently Harlan crow is the son of trammel crow, the dude who endowed the art museum. glad to know that i have been enjoying the art collected by a nazi fetishist's FATHER and not a nazi fetishist himself

nth response hall of fame

while i appreciate the reference, it doesn't really work

that Donald Trump tweet is from 2014

yes but we must always remember

Quote of the year:

"I find the big bang, really quite fascinating. I mean, here you have all these highfalutin scientists and they're saying it was this gigantic explosion and everything came into perfect order. Now these are the same scientists that go around touting the second law of thermodynamics, which is entropy, which says that things move toward a state of disorganization. So now you're gonna have this big explosion and everything becomes perfectly organized and when you ask them about it they say, 'Well we can explain this, based on probability theory because if there's enough big explosions, over a long period of time, billions and billions of years, one of them will be the perfect explosion," continued Carson. "So I say what you're telling me is if I blow a hurricane through a junkyard enough times over billions and billions of years, eventually after one of those hurricanes there will be a 747 fully loaded and ready to fly. Carson added that he believed the big bang was "even more ridiculous" because there is order to the universe. "Well, I mean, it's even more ridiculous than that 'cause our solar system, not to mention the universe outside of that, is extraordinarily well organized, to the point where we can predict 70 years away when a comet is coming," he said. "Now that type of organization to just come out of an explosion? I mean, you want to talk about fairy tales,that is amazing." Later, Carson said he personally believed Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was encouraged by the devil.

If one cannot get a brain surgeon -- AN ACTUAL BRAIN SURGEON -- to understand that the universe, with its disparate forms of matter spread over countless light years -- is less organized than a singularity . . .

At least he used the widely-debunked 747 analogy instead of the widely-debunked "bag full of watch parts" analogy.

blow a hurricane through a junkyard
over billions and billions of years
there will be a 747
fully loaded
and ready to fly

Poetry.

*try seven billion and four*
"A 747! Fully loaded! But... not ready to fly. Darwin was a fool!"

it was this gigantic explosion and everything came into perfect order

what world does this guy live in, everything is a jumble and things work... ok, in my experience

if you're going to act like scientific theory is a perfect allegory for the real world, you could say that Trump's "make america great again" is a fight to reverse entropy

"I was pickin' at this individual's cerebellum when suddenly things, you know, exploded and eventually the pieces formed Ronald Reagan."

how do you know about my recurring dreams?

The "everything is so well organized!" creationist line makes me want to go all Borscht Belt on them: "Well organized? Have you seen my desk?"

those are mainstream pseudoscientific anti-evolution arguments. i mean they are trivially wrong and he doesn't understand the 2nd law, but he's clearly done some reading.

you should see the OTHER universes; put ours to shame

Let's discuss this some more: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/09/23/on-twitter-bernie-sanderss-supporters-are-becoming-one-of-his-biggest-problems/?tid=sm_tw

this is a pretty good article. the writer alludes several times to bernie's "[deficient] civil rights record" and "critiques of sanders' record on racial issues" -- i've read plenty of articles about bernie's strategy and messaging being a bit tone-deaf given BLM's ascendancy and the pressing need to address their issues, but i'd be interested to read the critiques of his actual record, because to my knowledge he has had one of the strongest records in congress. (not that that's enough, necessarily.)

The "cool" Italian-American priest in my parish in the mid '70s dismissed Big Bang to 7th-graders: "My God is not a fart."

He is in everyone and everything, though

and also in you

i've felt him, after eating kung pao shrimp

never heard anyone's farts described as a "bang" that's fucked up

My god is more the silent but deadly type

his presence is still felt

Whoever felt it dealt it.

Possibly crazy but interesting - is Ted Cruz financing Carly Fiorina?

Smelt and dealt too

Xpost

Oops too slow....

i don't think "big bang" was in popular usage yet, probably just "gases made the universe"

highfalutin scientists

where do they get off, amirite??

Guys get a load of this godless heathen who came up w the Big Bang theory.

M = fart

or at least I assume so, I ain't no highfalutin scientist I'm just a brain surgery

never heard anyone's farts described as a "bang" that's fucked up

My 7-year-old son recently reported that he personally created the universe with a giant fart. When I asked him what created him, he said, "Another fart." I question the rigor of his theory.

voting for your son for president

Not sure he'd settle for less than emperor.

shakes otm, sounds like you are raising a genius

well the god i believe in isn't short of farts, mister

Guys get a load of this godless heathen who came up w the Big Bang theory.
