Trump getting wrecked.

Now that the proper debate is starting in a couple of minutes, I figured it deserved its own thread. Who else is tuning in? I'll be streaming it here.

How long until it's on?

We've been dead as a culturally robust country for a while.

So, I'm at my grandma's house tonight. My grandpa has slept pretty much solidly for the past three days, but other than that he hasn't been odd in any way. Today, however, when my grandma walked across the living room to the cupboard under the stairs my grandpa asked "How did you make your way around there? Did you feel your way around?"

At first I'd thought he'd gone blind, but that was stupid because he was following her with his eyes. When she asked him what she meant, he said she had to be quiet because he was watching out for the kids. My grandma thinks he thought he was back in the Upland's children home where he used to work. She also thinks he'd just woken up; my great grandma, who developed dementia, would do a similar thing where she'd wake up following a dream and just launch into explaining it as if it were fact.

He just isn't making a whole lot of sense really, although I wouldn't go so far as to call him persistently disoriented. My grandma thinks he may have had a stroke, but I doubt it to be honest. I know he has been hallucinating though. I'm doing some Google searches, but it isn't really yielding anything. Anybody have any ideas/personal experience with this sort of thing?

Bush, Kasich and Rubio will probably do the best.

Will it be live on Youtube?

Doesn't necessarily mean the $15/hr wage is shit.

It kind of does.

Only a few metro areas in the US could support a $15/hr minimum wage without significant disemployment effects; federally, it would be above the minimum wage peak of 1968 which was its highest value to date. The highest you could raise the federal minimum wage and still be justified by the welfare gains-disemployment trade off is around $10/hr.

I mean, it's not terrorism, but it's certainly an extreme viewpoint.

That's besides the point.

..and?

You wanna elaborate on that, so I know which way you're trying to take the thread?

According to a Tory MP.

New banning orders intended to clamp down on hate preachers and terrorist propagandists should be used against Christian teachers who teach children that gay marriage is “wrong”, a Tory MP has argued.

Mark Spencer called for those who use their position in the classroom to teach traditionalist views on marriage to be subject to “Extremism Disruption Orders” (EDOs), tough new restrictions planned by David Cameron and Theresa May to curb radicalisation by jihadists.

In a letter to a constituent, Mr Spencer, the MP for Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, insisted that Christian teachers were still “perfectly entitled” to express their views on same-sex marriage – but only “in some situations”.

Christian campaigners said Mr Spencer’s remarks confirmed what they had previously warned: that those who believe marriage should only be between a man and a woman would now be “branded extremists”.

The National Secular Society, which supports same-sex marriage, said the proposed banning orders could be one of the biggest threats to freedom of expression ever seen in the UK.

I knew these EDOs were a bad fucking idea.

helping to get food on people's plate is very noble

Come on, you're romanticising a job which takes minimal effort/training. It's noble when you're part of a tribe, and you're off hunting so you can make it through the winter. Slapping a burger on the grill and then walking to a table isn't "noble". Nobility has been relegated to intellectual/cultural endeavours in this day and age.

Also, is it still noble if they're putting meat on somebody's plate?
