In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Warren would've probably given Hillary a proper run for her money. Not sure if she wouldn't won the nomination, but would be significantly more effective than Sanders.
Would be tougher to smear her as a sexist! But I think she did some fairly dodgy business to get her Harvard job which was exploited by her opponents previously.
you could ask joe biden, who is one of the chief proponents of the war on drugs, the same question. Their offspring doesn´t have to fear the laws, their fathers have created. After all, they have rich, white, privileged fathers with great connections.
I'd like this to happen. If I was a Republican he's the only person I could plausibly imagine voting for amidst the rest of the shitshow.
Harvard listed her as a diversity hire due to her great great grandmother being of Native American descent. Dubious, yet, but very common in the academia world where things like that can help your career in various ways. That's the best they could smear her with and even then it's technically true.
Warren wouldn't, and shouldn't run for president. VP, yes. But the moment she put herself forth as ambitious for the big job, her street cress are gone.
His ears are gigantic. Never noticed that before.
All the better for listening to the concerns of hard working Americans...
I should have been a spin doctor
Or the Big Bad Wolf.

Its really fecking unnerving to watch.
Dems getting their asses whipped in states level election and gubernatorial races yet again. Governorship of Kentucky lost, only 17 left now, compared to 29 in 2008.
Not the best of shape going into 2016. They need to flip 5 seats for Senate majority, and looks like it's gonna be a tall task.

Dems really struggle to get voters out for local elections - this is where the grassroot nuttery of the Republican Party is a real strength.
Did you see who the Dems nominated in Mississippi?
- Mind you, it wouldn't have mattered who they nominated!
Particularly disappointing for me is my home state Virginia retaining a republican senate. Gov. McAuliffe a Democrat campaigned and did a zillion events - but the voters weren't swayed and the Senate remains Republican...all the Dems had to do was pick up 1 Republican seat

I saw John Oliver's segment on this. Apparently, his family also didn't know that he was nominated.
haha...yeah I saw that too. But, I actually caught a profile on him last month, so knew a few things about him already.I saw John Oliver's segment on this. Apparently, his family also didn't know that he was nominated.
He ended up receiving ~200,000 votes or ~32% of the total vote.

"He is a male, and this is Mississippi"
Part of me died hearing that, the bestest democracy there has ever been, supposedly.
Dems will do fine in 2016. So early days. Heck Carson is tied with Hillary in one poll.
The only thing that matters is the Presidency. The House is too far gone to the right at the moment and will probably stay highly GOP to balance the Dems winning the WH again. Senate is plausible but unlikely. Only that that matters is keeping a Dem in the White House, especially with the supreme court in play and potentially 3 justices retiring or dying in the coming years. That will have massive impact.
As nasty as Trump's made things already, his new attacks on Sen. Marco Rubio suggest we ain't seen nothing yet
ELIAS ISQUITH
Although we are still a full year removed from the 2016 presidential election, the Republican Party primary long ago reached such depths of Know Nothing absurdity that the 2012 contest, which was widely understood to have been an extravaganza of embarrassment , is starting to look relatively dignified. Even quaint.
Yes, 2012 inspired more than a few moments when it was hard to tell if the campaign was real or an especially broad piece of satire. There was “Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan,” and “severe” conservatism, and warnings of the “dangerous consequences” of a simple vaccine. But for all the things he is, Newt Gingrich is not Donald Trump; when he attacks a debate moderator, he prefers to aim above the belt.
Literally and figuratively, Trump chooses a different approach. He’s been officially campaigning for president for only about four months — but what a four months! Because of him, the GOP primary has devoted significant time to discussing: whether Mexicans are rapists, whether Jeb Bush is impotent, whether Syrian refugees are ISIS, and whether there’s something wrong with Carly Fiorina’s face. He’s also questioned Ben Carson’s religion. No taboo is safe.
Yet as spectacular and unfortunate as Trump’s influence on 2016 has been already , recent developments suggest that it’s about to get a whole lot worse. Because while Trump’s campaign has already heavily relied on barely-coded racism, its targets have mainly been ill-defined groups like “illegals” or “the media.” With the notable exception of Jorge Ramos, Trump hasn’t directed his politicized and weaponized bigotry toward any one individual — certainly not one of his fellow candidates.
But now Trump is attacking Sen. Marco Rubio, the Cuban-American who may be the GOP establishment’s new favorite. And if his recent volleys are any indication of what’s to come, there may be no limit to how ugly the Republican presidential primary — which was already hideous — is about to get.
On Tuesday, it was Trump’s mockery of Rubio’s sweating that got the most notice. But as the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent pointed out, it’s something Trump tweeted that, in retrospect, may look like an omen. Along with a note saying that the senator “[c]annot be [p]resident,” Trump tweeted a link to a Breitbart article in which a reporter from the virulently anti-immigrant site criticized Rubio for opposing the immediate deportation of DREAMers (undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country at a young age).
As Sargent noted, by going after Rubio on immigration, Trump is focusing on “an issue where the Florida senator’s evasions and gyrations are already angering conservatives.” Rubio was once a major supporter of comprehensive immigration reform, and many hardcore conservatives suspect that a President Rubio would support the policy once again. But although that’s important, it doesn’t give us the full sense of the demagoguery that Trump is now flirting with.
For that, we’ll have to consider who the DREAMers are, and what it means to use them as a political target. These are young people. And most of them have lived the majority of their lives as Americans. They didn’t decide to break the rules when moving to the country — their caretakers did. For many if not most, being sent back to their country of origin would be like a form of exile. They wouldn’t be sent “home”; they’d be sent somewhere they’d effectively never been.
In short, it’s the question of what to do with DREAMers that separates the immigration hardliners from the true xenophobes. More than any other, it’s people’s response to this issue that reveals whether they see undocumented immigrants as real human beings, or whether they see them as “illegal aliens” (with the dehumanizing tint of the phrase very much intended). It’s the question that reveals whether someone sees the issue of immigration through the lens of law-and-order; or if they conceive of it as a zero-sum battle between “us” and “them.”
Basically, Trump is trying to force Rubio to have a moment like the one that sunk Rick Perry’s 2012 campaign, which, not incidentally, was also about DREAMers. Perry was getting hammered for supporting a bill that let DREAMers in Texas pay in-state tuition rates, despite their technically not being American citizens. He defended himself by saying that anyone who’d punish DREAMers for their caretakers’ mistakes was heartless. His career hasn’t recovered since.
Trump wants to compel Rubio to defend the DREAMers’ humanity, which is evidently unacceptable to the GOP primary electorate. That’s self-evidently heinous; but what makes it especially volatile is the simple fact that Rubio himself is Cuban-American. As he’s done throughout his campaign, Trump is bringing to the fore that which is traditionally left as subtext. He’s making the man who would be America’s first Latino president answer the most lizard-brained question in politics: Are you one of us? Or are you one of them?
If we think about the implications of that question, and how it’s likely to be greeted by the GOP electorate, we can have a sense of what may be in the near-future of the Republican Party. Nasty as the campaign has been already, I strongly suspect the worst is yet to come. And when it comes to predicting this year’s GOP primary, I’ve found that the most pessimistic scenario is usually the safest bet.

Ever wondered who built the Ancient Pyramids and why?
Well, ponder no more....

Read that this morning. Boy's been playing too much Civilization III. That or he's a gullible idiot.
The longer Trump and Carson are on top the better imo. Dream scenario would be Carson winning the nomination.
I'm hoping for a Trump/Carson run off the same way Bush/McCain 2000 had.
Trump winning the nomination would be great as well. He'd get trounced by Hillary and spend half his fortune in the process.
trump with carson as his vp... though if they somehow won the probability of WW3 probably dramatically increases

Just elect Bernie Sanders and get on with it. Best man for the job!
And if they fail to do that, I want Trump to win. What a time for the world that will be.
Carson is impressively mental.
especially when you consider he is a brain surgeon - who are stereotypically up there with rocket scientists as beiong about as clever as you get.
Yep. The stuff he comes out with is incredible - particularly when, as you say, you consider his job.
It's definitely removed the phrase "doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that" from my lexicon. Can't even count on them any more.
And Bill's still got it, apparently

Ben Carson has decided he might need the black vote.
So what better way to reach out to them than a campaign song - a rap at that....

Condescending.
Weren't the pyramids built before Joseph? And aren't they mostly tombs?
Yeah... I think the pyramids were around about 3000 years ago and I'm sure creationists say that's when the dinosaurs were around... Perhaps a dinosaur called Joseph built them?
Hillary saying she is less corrupt than the Koch Brothers. Ok. she has my vote.
Nah, Trump as the Republican candidate
He is already behind by double digits in swing states to both Sanders and Clinton. Carson is up vs both, but will decline similarly once he gets more of the spotlight. Carson of course has the advantage of demographics and of not being an obvious asshole.
