NRO's The Corner: Obamacare ‘like a house on fire’ with more flammable parts yet to come

Wait! Don't Go Yet! We didn't mean all of you!

VDH getting into position:

Take Trump’s worst, most repugnant rhetoric, and there will always pop up a parallel worse — and often from the lips of the heroes of those who are blasting Trump as singularly foul. He crudely brags of his past infidelities and sexual conquests — reminding us that he has an affinity with JFK and Bill Clinton (is it worse to boast or to lie about such sins?). Whether he would attempt to match either man’s sexual gymnastics while in the Oval Office is, I think, doubtful.

Unfortunately, Trump was not the first politician to brag about the size of his genitalia. President Lyndon Johnson reportedly offered such jock talk often — as well as reportedly exposing himself to aides. Did LBJ’s sick obsessions turn liberals off the Great Society?

forgot to include an ellipsis between grafs there

wait -- I thought libs were obsessed with the Great Society

they are, even though lbj shit w the door open

with his dick

johnson didn't talk about his dick during a campaign event that was broadcast nationally

even if he did it wouldn't nullify my belief that there are things that can be done, on the federal level, to address poverty. kinda unrelated

gives new meaning to trickle down economics

jeet heer connects williamsonwhitetrashgate to the wfb legacy

a great deal of emotional incontinence from the usual bladders

what pisses, i mean passes for eloquence on the right these days is absolutely appalling *sniffs*

In a letter to a colonel, Buckley said that while “some” of the noncommissioned officers were fine men, others were “crude, course, vulgar, and highly objectionable.” Told by a platoon leader that condoms were available for soldiers on leave, Buckley priggishly insisted that he, for one, didn’t need them—the implication being that he was better than the fornicating riffraff that surrounded him.

shh quiet everyone – John Yoo has words.

by John Yoo March 16, 2016 11:48 AM President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court demonstrates a desire to compromise with the Senate, but it should not change the calculus of the Republican majority to keep Justice Scalia’s seat open. Garland is the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, commonly described as the second-most important court in the land after the Supreme Court (and the bench on which Justice Scalia served first, as well as Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Ginsburg, and Justice Thomas). He has a reputation as a left-of-center judge, likely more moderate that the liberal bloc on the Supreme Court.

Choosing Garland indicates that President Obama hopes a moderate choice can get through the Senate. He has put aside the opportunity to choose a nominee who had no chance, but could be a convenient point of attack in the presidential campaign.

Nevertheless, Senate Republicans should keep Justice Scalia’s seat open at least until the November elections. The Senate has rarely confirmed Supreme Court nominees during a presidential election year, especially when opposite parties have controlled the Senate and the White House. The Constitution does not require the Senate to confirm anyone; it only requires the Senate’s advice and consent before the president can appoint a justice to office. The Republicans can await the outcome of the elections

wahh trump is actually a sjw

Trump and his horde of online social-justice followers aren’t conservative. They are neo-nationalist culture warriors who believe that conservatism is a weak or failed ideology. They write daily barrages on social media about how the GOP betrayed them. But a political party is simply a vessel for ideas. It’s a body. When that body develops cancer and dies, the ideas move to another host. This is the fundamental error that Trump makes. He is not the new host for these ideas. He is the cancer.

On our homepage, we have George Will’s column, which says that Republicans are treating Merrick Garland’s nomination unfairly and stupidly.

The Right will flip out about this column. Maybe I should too. But I have a memory … Some years ago, there was an important court case pitting Microsoft against Netscape. Every conservative I knew and admired was on Microsoft’s side — except for Bob Bork. As the leading anti-trust expert in the country, he was sought out by both sides, who wanted his support.

After studying the issue, he sided with Netscape. So, it was like a thousand smart conservatives against Bork. Which I thought made a kind of even match.

As far as I could tell, the pro-Microsoft people had the better argument, but I was always prepared to listen to my hero Bork. Always. And I feel the same about George Will.

ah yes, the microsoft antitrust case, truly the case that led the movement to where it is today.

In recent days, I’ve been having trouble containing bile toward John Kasich. (My own, I mean.) I know that people have a right to run for president. They have a right to compete. But what’s Kasich’s game? What’s he after? Does he want to deny Cruz the nomination? Does he want to be Trump’s running mate? Whassup?

I was discussing this was a colleague yesterday. Here’s my theory — nothing profound, but here it is: Kasich wants to be president. Nothing wrong with that. He always has. Nothing wrong with that either. He was in Congress for almost 20 years. He has now been elected governor of Ohio (big and consequential state). Twice. And he thinks he oughta be president. And can be president.

Plus, he hears tick tock. You know how it’s said of women that, if they are childless and are nearing a certain age, they hear tick tock? Well, so it is with politicians, or would-be presidents. If not now, when? (Apologies to Hillel.) So,

how is this man allowed out without medication?

Maybe NRO posts ARE the medication.

"Nothing profound, but here it is"

time to put that on the masthead.

You know how it's said of murderers, when they have concealed a dead body under floorboards, they hear tick tock?

whassup?

This tweet definitely suggests many delightful ideas for a new game show.

Why Jeb Bush’s Endorsement Is a Game-Changer for Cruz

I have nothing against Melania Trump. I’ve liked all of Trump’s wives. I like Trump too, for that matter, except when he’s being vile, or trying to be president. I think Mrs. Trump No. 2 was my favorite. She was beautiful, like all of them, and I liked the way her husband said her name: “Mawla.” “Mawla, she’s turrific.” Melania was once a model (duh). She is Slovenian, and, trust me, even an average Slovenian is attractive. You ever been to Ljubljana? There are few other places like it. Pepperdine University comes to mind. And Ole Miss.

trust me, even an average Slovenian is attractive

source your quotes? xp

well that was a totally gross post caek thx
xp

oh come on jim, zizek has a certain... quality

i don't think many people have anything against melania, really. she seems sort of indifferent to her husband's campaign so i'm not so sure she shares his ideology, if you even want to call it that. i get the sense that she is not interested in being a public figure so much, and i respect that. sort of weird she would choose to marry the most vile man in america but hey

golddiggers gonna dig

she had to have seen more in him than that. she was a pretty well known model, i would think she could have landed a less repulsive rich guy

pleased to see this thread might live up to its 2012 and 2008 splendor

ya. trump's three wives were good in their own right, but i feel melania is the nicest and most willing to support his antics

can't wait til dems and repubs go at it later this year and trump pulls the "my daughter is jewish you buffoon!" card

trump's taking a heavy smearing campaign though. what's with people saying melania posed nude? i consider myself an advanced google user. i've googled for them and only saw the sexy gq ones, which are not nudes. ivanka's nudes were super easy to find, on the other hand

WORD???
