So on the way up there was this police car going by and weaving all over the road to get wherever he needed to as fast as he could, and it looked like he was turning right as he got out of sight. We needed to go left, so no big deal. Turns out we were wrong and it was another really wide swerve and by the time we got to the restaurant we luckily noticed some kid in handcuffs so we didn't turn in. We ended up stuck on a dead-end road and stuck waiting it out in another parking lot, and when we turn around two more cops showed up and this guy's friend was trying to fight with the officers, which ended with him on the ground at gunpoint. Clearly we went somewhere else after seeing that. And by somewhere else I mean the next town because we didn't want to be anywhere near that mess. We were lucky, too, because if we got there two minutes earlier we may have been caught right in the middle of that.

so there's that. OLDZ RULE!!!!
This caucus is boring. Trump will win, Cruz and Rubio will give speeches saying how because they came in second/third they're the real winners, and Bernie and Hillz' twitter feeds will say something drawing attention to the GOP candidates' lies. Have I missed anything?
Thanks! And John Kasich having pancakes or something else very "normal" and when asked an innocuous question by a reporter, making a Freudian slip of saying something incredibly sexist.
GOOP on voter fraud An official with the Republican National Committee pushed back against reports of chaos, saying concerns were only raised at “a select few” caucus sites and the situation had since been “contained………….Obviously we take reports of double voting very seriously and we will be reviewing ballots,” the official said.”
This whole thing is weird because Nevada GOP rules prevent any pictures or videos from being taken in caucus sites (though a few have snuck some pictures). I'm not sure what's real and what's not anymore.
While it is legal for volunteers at caucus sites in Nevada to wear their support for a candidate, questions were quickly raised over the legitimacy of the process when those distributing and collecting ballots at several locations appeared to favor Trump.
A source from a rival campaign, who asked to remain anonymous, said it was difficult to place faith in people wearing Trump hats and t-shirts.
“They’re the ones that are going to be counting the ballots. It’s craziness,” the source said.
“So if you’re voting for Kasich, you’re supposed to trust that your vote goes to him. The same goes for Rubio or Cruz … It’s amateur hour.”

What is this nonsense? They "send" the results to the GOP, not to some sort, oh, I don't know, unbiased government agency like a State Elections Board? https://twitter.com/SaraMurray/status/70142019430…
I was at the supermarket a couple months ago, and as I was putting my stuff in the trunk, two guys parked next to me were having an animated conversation about one guy's brand new $3000 Elvis costume. There's a casino not incredibly far away (Mt. Airy), so I sincerely hope it was for that and not just lounging around the house or some kind of Pocono sex party scene I absolutely DO NOT want to know exists but probably does.
If anyone has a good Nevada-related picture go for it, I searched and got some, well, disturbing things. And not nsfw disturbing, just disturbing.
To wash that out of my brain, this video seems to show what the normal person in Nevada thinks about tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWsuokWmEZI
How about Elvis impersonators? I can find something unless you want to.
Go ahead. When I looked for Nevada I found out about the disgusting thing that was Nevada-tan.

Awesome.
Also I went out to dinner tonight and witnessed someone getting arrested at gunpoint.
Do tell………

Yikes. Did you check the police log to see what it was about?
Have checked but don't see anything, though it happened at about 6:30 so they'll probably have it in there if I look tomorrow.
You know, I'm 68 years old and I've never seen anyone arrested at gunpoint. I'm hoping this holds up, unless I find myself near Ted Cruz.

Like a Chick E. Cheese ball pit?
Chick E. Cheese sounds like a nightmarish mash-up of Chuck E. Cheese and Chick-fil-A.
I didn't even notice the typo! But really, it does bump things up to eleven.
NO BOYS ALLOWED IN THE BALL PIT
THE BOYS CAN PICK UP THEIR BALLS AND GO HOME. WAIT…
(Tries several responses, decides they'd all get me knocked from here to the middle of next week. And banhammered.)
It does lend itself to a range of colorful possibilities.
With Chick Tracts.
FYI, as of now there is still a Trump troll on Wonkette's NV article. Lots of us are having fun fucking with him or her…

|Related, it's a new one |
Okay, I knew being stuck at a Chuck E. Cheese for hours was hard, but this is taking it a bit far. I blame the mouse.
Hopefully not in the ball pit– those things are like petri dishes.
Chuck E. Cheese visits seem like something that should be included in felony sentencing guidelines.

You missed Ben Carson going to the 4pm buffet so he could get to bed by 7!
Thanks! And John Kasich having pancakes or something else very "normal" and when asked an innocuous question by a reporter, making a Freudian slip of saying something incredibly sexist.
I'm 90% sure Kasich will be drunk like that one time he was clearly that way during the State of the State speech.
OMG, really? He's awful. That's…OMG…
Kasich/Boehner 2016!
Ass kissing Trump by MSNBC?
On hot mic!
By the way, if you think this is boring, South Carolina Democrats are on Saturday!
All three Democrats in the state.
The lone Democrat in Wyoming is going to have a lot of power!
It will be just like The Bachelor.

wut
Apparently there's pro-Trump people that are volunteers bullying people at a caucus at a high school. Great.
Wait, I didn't hear about that. I'd like to know more: got a link?
Saw it at HuffPo but here's where I traced it back to, someone from a right-wing site of all places: https://twitter.com/elainaplott/status/7023069392…

So apparently Ohio's trying to make it legal for college students to openly carry guns on campuses. ffs.
And I am reminded of why I gave up on pursuing a career in academia. Fuck.
That would have been awesome at Kent State.

Wait– I thought they take a photo of the final results, then instagram it, then someone puts in on facebook, and the final results are tweeted.
As if Morning Joe's "no hard questions" interview of TehRump wasn't enough, they'll be interviewing Melania tomorrow! Set your alarm now!!!

I don't know of any org less prepared to deal with unusually high turnout than NV GOP. Also, no org less equipped to deal w/low turnout.
So Jim Gilmore is technically tied for first right now.
MSNBC wasted no time: Trump is the projected winner.
Yay, that means I can go to bed at a halfway decent time!
No! Don't leave us!
Blame the Nevada GOP for holding this thing at ass o'clock!
Move out west! No snow!
We have cookies!
What the hell is Nicolle Wallace wearing? And is she working for MSNBC because no GOPer will hire her after she sold out Sarah Palin?
I hope so. I find her very appealing.
I thought L&O:Criminal Intent killed her off around season 9?
CRUZBIO Loserbot would have won if there were such a thing!!
Oh, Christ, there will be another Trump victory speech. I hope I have enough liquor to get through this…
MSNBC talking head on Trump:
Oh. for fuck's sake.
English only!
Chris Matthews: yada yada yada well Trump understands the white working class and no one else does yada yada yada and I'm being interrrupted!
1. Does Chris Matthews even know the definition of a blowhard?
2. Where the fuck is Rachel?
3. Oh, for fuck's sake.
Canadian Anchor Baby: I can't wait to get the fuck out of here and go home.
That's a good one too. Btw the guy who owns the goat in my town? Elvis impersonator. I didn't know we had a market for those around here.
"Owns the goat in your town?"

Well he's the guy who built a doghouse for his goat, anyway.
Wouldn't it be a goathouse then?
Is his name "B-A-A-A-A-A-B!"?
I'll see myself out.
Yes, though there's another doghouse and an actual dog in the backyard so maybe it's both.
