Might as well open a thread on this. This is going to be good.
Being totally serious here and don’t mean to be offensive to the mentally disabled, but honestly last night was the first time I heard/watched O’Malley, and his mannerisms and speech are similar to someone with a learning disability.
Mourning Joe crew giving Anderson Cooper credit for asking the toughest questions of the night. Strange days.
I am fairly certain that sentence has never been stated before in the life of the universe.
Hi Marcella, I’m with you. After watching the Cubs WIN! we watched a dvr of Big Bang from Monday and hit the sack about 9. Did not watch a minute of the debate. Scrolling through this thread tells me everything I would want to know.
In the long run it will be Hillary and our guy on that stage and whomever can lay down the best line of BS wins. All the crap we thought mattered with Obama, didn't. All the faults we were sure would keep him down, didn't.
She needs to be taken seriously and stop thinking that this little scandal will matter. Obama should be in jail for things infinitely worse than her email server. But he's not...
Learning Disability? Might be Tourette’s, but he didn’t swear much, so you may be right.
Bernie 59 Webb 23 Beast 7 O’Malley 7 Chaffee 4 on Drudge.
Agree...Never underestimate the enemy.
I did not waste my time watching it, but by the sounds Clinton did not give a reason to vote for her and will crater in the polls.
Pray America wakes
You sound alot like Bernie Sanders did last night.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 9h9 hours ago "@Jamesppierce: These 5 make @realDonaldTrump look like Winston Churchill #DemDebate" Cute!
Toughest questioning of the debate?
COOPER: And welcome back. We are live in Nevada, in Las Vegas, at the Wynn Resort for the first Democratic presidential debate. The questions continue.
We begin with Secretary Clinton. Secretary Clinton, you are going to be testifying before Congress next week about your e-mails. For the last eight months, you haven’t been able to put this issue behind you. You dismissed it; you joked about it; you called it a mistake. What does that say about your ability to handle far more challenging crises as president?
CLINTON: Well, I’ve taken responsibility for it. I did say it was a mistake. What I did was allowed by the State Department, but it wasn’t the best choice.
And I have been as transparent as I know to be, turning over 55,000 pages of my e-mails, asking that they be made public. And you’re right. I am going to be testifying. I’ve been asking to testify for some time and to do it in public, which was not originally agreed to.
But let’s just take a minute here and point out that this committee is basically an arm of the Republican National Committee.
(APPLAUSE)
It is a partisan vehicle, as admitted by the House Republican majority leader, Mr. McCarthy, to drive down my poll numbers. Big surprise. And that’s what they have attempted to do.
I am still standing. I am happy to be part of this debate.
(APPLAUSE)
And I intend to keep talking about the issues that matter to the American people. You know, I believe strongly that we need to be talking about what people talk to me about, like how are we going to make college affordable? How are we going to pay down student debt?
COOPER: Secretary...
CLINTON: How are we going to get health care for everybody...
(CROSSTALK)
COOPER: Secretary Clinton, Secretary Clinton, with all due respect, it’s a little hard — I mean, isn’t it a little bit hard to call this just a partisan issue? There’s an FBI investigation, and President Obama himself just two days ago said this is a legitimate issue.
CLINTON: Well, I never said it wasn’t legitimate. I said that I have answered all the questions and I will certainly be doing so again before this committee.
But I think it would be really unfair not to look at the entire picture. This committee has spent $4.5 million of taxpayer money, and they said that they were trying to figure out what we could do better to protect our diplomats so that something like Benghazi wouldn’t happen again. There were already seven committee reports about what to do. So I think it’s pretty clear what their obvious goal is.
COOPER: Thank you.
CLINTON: But I’ll be there. I’ll answer their questions. But tonight, I want to talk not about my e-mails, but about what the American people want from the next president of the United States.
(APPLAUSE)
“I am fairly certain that sentence has never been stated before in the life of the universe.”
I thought of trying to diagram it but I am four and a half months past my seventy first birthday and I don’t think there is any way I will live that long. William Faulkner would have been stunned by it.
LOL! I will NEVER tire of that gif! :)
I’m glad I almost never drink... I’d be seriously hung over, right now.
Smoking tobacco or marijuana is bad for the lungs; should both be banned, or neither?
Ted Cruz says pot policy is a matter for the states.
The Debate in a Nutshell....
Old frail white folks..trying to outdo each others Socialist street cred, who claim they will make the rich pay when in fact the rich will move or hide their money and the middleclass, like always will get stuck with their big government bill..... Compare that to the GOP Rainbow of youth and diversity the visual is striking......
My point is that the people that want to eradicate tobacco smoking as a "public health hazard", are the very same ones pushing for legalization of marijuana.
The reason weed ought to be, at a minimum, looked down upon by society is that smoking pot makes most of the people I know that smoke it, lazy, worthless, unproductive slobs that contribute NOTHING to society.
The Democrat party has come out of the closet, they should now be labeled American Socialist Party.
