    This. Seeing which primary someone voted in is hardly dispositive of which party they support in the general.

    well, as i mentioned up-thread, my east-side-near-fiesta precinct voted 90-3 D the other day.  it's hardly dispositive much like getting a gun shot to the head is hardly dispositive of whether you're going to die.

    There’s a lot of ignorance in this thread. The problem is, both sides will think I’m referring to the other.

    *No, I don’t think cuffing the young girl was necessary but I absolutely know someone that age has the ability to hurt an adult.

    yeah but Indy had to go retrieve it, take it to his dad, give him water for his wound, and made the grail available to the Nazis in the process. They couldn't or didn't figure out how to get past the trials before, so Indy did it for them and gave them access to the grail. Indy was somewhat complicit in the process, and while not wholly responsible for the death of the knight, he did contribute. I'm sure the Knight's family could sue all of them in Civil court and win some % of the damages from Indy, but the majority of the responsibility would be on the Nazis. I think this would be a good premise for a 4th movie, since they never made a sequel. 

    they would never made a sequel because everyone knows that no one wants to see indy as a geriatric trying to be an action hero.  and what are they going to do? CGI everything to make up for indy's inability to do anything exciting?  bring back marion as some chesire cat grinning moron who hasn't landed an acting gig in decades?  or make some hollywood flavor of the month his kid and have the movie turn into bonding time with the boomer?

  5. As I walked up, I was thinking about how it is odd that you have to publicly declare whether you are voting in the D or R primary.  "Please give me the [D/R] ballot."  People in line there know your politics.  Very odd given how much effort we put into making votes private.

    Then I got to the machine and saw you just click the R or D button and they give you the correct ballot.  So it is private after all.  Nice.

    Then I got online today and see the Texas SoS lists literally every human who voted and in which primary.  I can see what all my neighbors think.  Conveniently search anyone's name in an excel file  They can see what I think.  I didn't know that is how it worked and I'm not sure I'm down with it.

     

    edit: but I can see my precinct voted 90-3 D yesterday.  About 96%. lulz.

    We are so so close to money being valueless here.  I’ve been hearing people start to talk about it. “I’m not sure I’m going to want that stack of bills, what with money being valueless.”  That’s what they say. “What should we use this wad of valueless cash here for?” they say, “Should we put it with our other valueless stuff?” “Man, I wish my stock would issue a dividend.” “Why? Don’t you know money is valueless?” If we elect someone whose politics align with Northern Europe, it’s a straight shot to valueless-moneyville.

    Fuck him.  He'll rubberstamp any fuckstick that Dotard appoints, then will act surprised when they turn out to be incompetent morons.

    He quite literally did the opposite. He ran off that retard that Trump nominated for District Court that had never tried a case or even read the rules of civil procedure.

  8. you can go here and actually get the day-by-day information to compare from 2016.

    The number of democrats voting in the primary is WAY above where it was in 2016.  I'm sure some is attributable to feeling like there wasn't much to vote about in the D primary in 2016, but still, I think this indicates a lot of voter energy on the D side. Biggest counties through Day 7 of the primaries in 2016:

    Bingo.

    If he had done that then... what? The two women would've calmed down and happily stepped away in 10 minutes?

    if you haven't put together an organization that can't keep that from happening, that's bad news. if you don't think that reflects on his leadership abilities and what people judge you on for being elected, that's bad news too.  if you can't control a room, that's bad news.  you need to be able to walk up there and get it under control.  if you don't think people judge based on that, that's bad news too.  if bernie's organization is as blind as you are to what people look for in a leader, that's real bad news.
