Maybe we should just elect Trump president

[Space Freely]

so any bets on VP picks
think this Pence guy has a chance after newt started talking sense about race relations?

well that didn't last long
Gingrich calls for deportation tests of everyone with a 'Muslim background'

Except that (the heading you gave your link) is not what he said.

What he said is he would deport anybody who is in favor of sharia law, as it is incompatible with our belief system here. Any Muslim who doesn't believe in sharia law, he would be happy to have as his neighbor.

I agree with him 100%.

In your own words, define "sharia law".

And also how do we test if someone believes in Sharia Law? "Dear Muslim, do you believe in Sharia Law?" "No I do not." "OK guys, checks outs, hes good."

I said I agreed with what he said. I didn't say I had a feasible test to carry through with what he said. There probably is none.

fascinating.. CNN is reporting Trump tried to get out of Pence at midnight last night and was told he couldn't...

Hysterical if true.

I heard an interesting stat on right wing talk radio the other day... number of Nobel Prizes that have gone to muslims: 7. Number of Nobel Prizes that have gone to jews: +1200




number of muslims in world: +1.2 billion.. number of jews in world: +40 million

I realize they give out Nobel Prizes to more than just science recipients, but if you want to limit the topic of discussion to science, here's a pretty reasoned analysis:



Why are there so few Muslim Nobel Laureates in sciences?

Especially as Pence had to be off the Indiana Ballot by noon today.  And he is.

^that is an awesome gif!

so Bill Maher is covering the convention on wed/thursday 
I also read that beardy McOld guy: Jon Stewart to Join Stephen Colbert on 'The Late Show' for the Republican National Convention

I was looking at the electoral votes map... I had not realized that due to the 2010 census numbers Republicans automatically get another 8 electoral votes: Texas added 4, Utah 1, South Carolina 1, Georgia 1, Arizona 1...

meanwhile on the D side all they get is +1 Nevada (which is almost a toss up) and +1  Washington


and Texas growth just keeps booming so in the 2020 census they will probably gain another 3!

kinda interesting for all the talk about demographic change favoring democrats it is not quite as clear cut as that...

At least in this election, Utah, Georgia, and Arizona are not GOP locks. I agree with your larger point, however.

if like me you didn't watch trump's intro of pence as his VP, this is a must-read:

Donald Trump?s speech introducing Mike Pence showed why he shouldn?t be president
