It's nice to know we have choices:

John McAfee

Ha, one more try

Dream Team: Trump/McAfee

The (html) dream of the 90's is alive at The Mote.

Hey there...thanks for alerting us about this possible candidate who could easily be Trump's running mate!

Is Sanders electable? My much more liberal than I MiL disagrees, but damn I like him.

46013. Ms. No - 9/16/2015 4:13:13 PM

I'd like to think he's electable, but I seriously doubt it, and at his age, I imagine this is his last chance to be considered.

46014. iiibbb - 9/16/2015 7:00:55 PM

Liberals are very studpid, or it's a troll... but someone online was commenting that Hilary is no better than a Republican.

fucking moron.

You could run a tuna sandwich against the current slate of Republicans; they don't even seem to have a junior high understanding of how government checks and balances work. The only one I have affinity for is the guy from Ohio... who apparently has no chance in hell.

46015. iiibbb - 9/16/2015 7:01:26 PM

I can't fathom this country.

46016. arkymalarky - 9/16/2015 11:55:03 PM

I can't fathom the idiots at that Texas school who after so obviously screwing up suspended that kid who built the clock. If he's looking for a new school, he can come to our school. We would be glad to have such an awesome young man.

46017. iiibbb - 9/17/2015 3:53:40 AM

On another site I pointed out that over-reacting school admin is nothing new, and linked to this story but that his color probably didn't help the situation any.

I was immediately accused of displaying white privilege.

Fucking social justice warriors...

HA!!

The mayor of Irving is a wing nut Republican who has tried to convince her constituents that the Muslim community in their town is trying to set up Sharia Law there. A true blonde bimbo of Texas!

I watched the debate last night Here are a few thoughts:

1. OMG, Jeb comes across as such a weakling. He seemed like toast before but man, I almost feel sorry for him.

2. I sometimes forget what a annoying ass Huckabee is. Fortunately he didn't get to talk much.

3. I'm not a Rand Paul fan but he had some pretty sane things to say about the Iraq war.

4. Carly may have done well but she seems pretty unlikable to me. Her angry emotional discussion of Planned Parenthood seemed like fake outrage targeting a specific group of voters.

46021. judithathome - 9/17/2015 10:14:47 PM

The outrage she expressed about Planned Parenthood was based on doctored, fake tapes...

And much as I hate to admit it, her disclosure about losing a child to drug addiction was meant to hit home with people like me...and frankly, it left me cold....maybe that says more about me than her but it is what it is. Seemed to me to be "opportunistic".

And I say this while feeling the utmost sympathy for Joe Biden...go figure.

46022. winstonsmith - 9/17/2015 11:44:25 PM

Judith, I agree. I am a big fan of smart and powerful women but she strikes me as manipulative and unlikable.

46023. iiibbb - 9/18/2015 3:10:16 AM

Like many libertarians, Rand Paul has sane things to say until you really listen to everything they have to say.

The fundamental flaw with libertarianism is that it assumes people are well informed, make rational choices, nobody cheats, and people act in the public interest.

I am a libertarian until it comes to issues like education, the environment, and checks on corporate economic freebooting.

Other than that.... sure I'm a libertarian to the core.
