Thank God for this. Getting through the debate sober will be hard enough now that Scalia's death will bring out even more wingnuttery tonight, and since the marathon is tomorrow I have to do less drinking tonight, not more. I'm counting on your good snark to keep me in good spirits, everyone!
Prediction: Everyone tonight will say the following, "Antonin Scalia was the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."
Could I suggest, dearest mods, that after the comment string fills the available page, a new page be started and made sticky? Right now, unless I'm missing something, you have to start at the first page each time you refresh, then go to the bottom, click page 2 or 3 or whatever, then scroll down that page, etc.
Did you click "last activity?" It'll put the most recent posts at the top and that should work.
Edit: It will also include posts since the last time you refreshed the entire page, so you can just click on that and it'll get you where you need to be.
Details, details. I seem to remember a little US mail Anthrax issue in my area around that time too. I'm sure it was nothing and we were all perfectly safe.
Um…Rubio? If Al Gore was in the WH, we'd have the security apparatus looking at terrorism instead of off with their heads in Star Wars, so it's likely there wouldn't *be* a 9/11. Boom.
Trump’s increasingly vocal opposition to the Iraq War is not in line with the position of Republican voters. According to a May 2015 Quinnipiac poll, 62 percent of Republicans said going to war in Iraq in 2003 was the right thing to do, while 28 percent said it was the wrong thing.
According to an CBS News poll released in October, George W. Bush had a 67 percent favorable rating among Republicans. His unfavorable rating was just 8 percent.
Ugh. And he was just promoting how Ohio had a yooge increase in the number of private sector jobs. Of course, he didn't mention that a bunch of teachers and nurses probably had to quit their good government jobs and had to go to work at Wal-Shart.
Here is an approximation of the transcript of the debate so far (note: some parts may have been edited to be less rage-inducing)
Now, this is the story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In West Philadelphia, born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
And all shootin' some B-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said, "You're movin' with your aunty and uncle in Bel Air"
I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it!"
First class, yo this is bad
Drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel Air are livin' like
Hmmm, this might be alright
But wait, I hear they're prissy, bourgeois and all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat?
I don't think so, I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel Air
Well, uh, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude look like a cop standin' wavin' my name out
I ain't tryin' to get arrested yet, I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought, nah forget it, yo home to Bel Air
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cab, yo homes, smell ya later
I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
Cruz: "My immigrant dad, who got ahead because of progressive social policies, would have gotten ahead faster if there had not been progressive social policies."
She made a far better endorsement speech than Sarah Palin.

I saw it last night. I wasn't sure what was going on for about the first third, the flashbacks were confusing, but then it all came together, and basically it was very weird and gross and hilarious. The audience applauded at the end.
With this heat, I'm just hoping not to set a PW (personal worst) like I did last year. I dream of doing a sub-4 marathon, but my fastest ever was 4:17 so IDK. In normal weather, 4:30 is realistic. I wish I were faster, but oh well…

Probably too late to get your hands on some drugs, huh?
Maybe this will help:

The pregame chatter is on now. I have it muted, of course and I'm | listening to this now. |
Wait, where are you getting pregame chatter? My CBS station is doing the never-tedious local news FFS.
Oh, I have the CBS stream up on the Roku thingy now.
I was listening earlier to the red-carpet talk: "Ooh, there's Dr. Carson now! His wife told us we can expect some surprises from him tonight."
Thanks, that formalizes my decision to leave the Mute button on.
Oh God–I gave it about ninety seconds. KCBS will do after all…
I have the sound off and it's making me queasy. That's a good choice.
"I'm not on Sedatives tonight! SURPRISE"
What was she wearing? Balenciaga? Dior? Or did she have to go home for fresh clothes?
I'll have to open that up now, thanks. And fuck you, KCBS…
Prediction: Everyone tonight will say the following, "Antonin Scalia was the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."

Unparalleled comment service!
Bamz was supposed to speak about the Scalia death at 5:30 Pacific, but the podium is still empty. Will he preempt the GOP?
…no, MSNBC says he'll be on in a minute. Damn!
He's on now, 2047 hrs EST
POTUS is on.
I'm really tempted to not watch the debate and just play some old RPG instead
Rocket propelled grenades? Good choice.
Both definitions seem to fit in with the state of Florida.
Indeed.
My favorite old (read: OLD) game was, is, and always shall be Ms. Pac-Man. Still love dropping a quarter in a game and nom nom nomming some ghosts.
I've actually played that, I think in some restaurant in Oregon. It was quite fun!
Was thinking Tales of Phantasia for tonight. At this point ending up reading comments here is too amusing though so I'll do it after.
I plan to fulfill my constitutional duties
Give 'em hell, Bamz! Fuck the RepubliCants!
And the epic showdown begins!
Obama: "I'm gonna appoint a successor, so fuck y'all."
Oh God, it's starting. I hope I can make it…
The cheering for The Donald was a tad subdued. I'll bet he's pissed…
HA they sent Carson in first so he wouldn't fuck everyone up.
Republican Debate at a place called the Peace Center? lmao
Isn't it Ironic?
FAT TONY
Image breaking up. Thanks, Obama!
SC Republican poll forecast from 538:
Trump 32.0
Rubio 19.8
Cruz 15.3
Bush 14.2
Kasich 12.9
Carson 3.6
Moderator: STFU when you are supposed to or the annoying bell will ring!
Mod: Assholes, if you were president, wouldn't you be pissed if you couldn't get a SCOTUS appointment through?
OF course you would.
Trump: DELAY DELAY DELAY!!!
You are one of the most brilliant commenters here.
Aw, that's sweet! But I'm just trying to keep up with the rest of you good folks!
Joking about how our identical comments were adjacent. But you bring a lot of teh funneh, it's true.
BREAKING: Republicans that keep talking about Constitution want Obama to ignore it this time
The audience is cheering for broken governance.
Oh bullshit, Kasich.
Kasich: can't we all just get along?
Whoinhell would have "Unanimous approval"? The R's would filibuster Jesus if Obama appointed him and he had a "D" after his name.
Uh, Dr Ben(way)'s reading blog comments again. Don't let him do it!
Rubio's a lawyer. Appoint him to SCOTUS!
College Boy: I've got citations! Scalia was a genius!
Rubio says, "Someone on this stage will appoint the balance of the court." Who's going to kill the other 8? Cheney in a series of "hunting accidents"?
"Original Intent"? Just like the colonial FAA, right?
Right, and A2 says "keep and bear arms," which means flintlocks only.
I don't think those jokers at Malheur were "well regulated" either.
Jeb!: I'll pick predictably awful SCOTUS nominees! Also–FIGHT!!!
Jeb! – It's only "Legislating from the Bench" when Liberals do it.
Canadian Anchor Baby can't get it right over when Justice Kennedy got confirmed. Too bad the audience gives zero fucks about the truth…
Bush: "We need to appoint a conservative justice who won't legislate from the bench."
hahaha, you're funny, Jeb.
Cruz is shaking his head that Obama doesn't have the Constitutional authority to appoint Justices. What the fucking fuck.
I'd like to dispel with the notion that Barack Obama… Wait, sorry, wrong debate.

What is with this rowdy crowd? Bring back PBS, Gwen and Judy, please.

what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night

Oh God, on to national security. Prepare for the fear-mongering!
BOO FACTS! WE WANT LIES!
The Donald: and it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
HA
Blast from the past. USAF vet Country Joe died not too long ago.
"Disgrace". Embarrassment". You keep using those words…
That bell is maddening.
Every time that bell rings, Carson wakes up a little.
smokey: "Every time the bell rings, Carson loses his wings."
Listen to Marcobot spool off his whole defense policy…20% of Georgia, and significant percentage of Louisiana!
CNTRL <SHIFT> ENTER MEMDUMP #EXECUTE
*still laughing*
He sounds like he's participating in a high school academic decathlon.
He must think he wins if he talks faster than everybody else. He should consider his audience.
Mod: What the fuck have you done that proves you can handle being CinC?
College Boy: I'm on the Foreign Relations committee! We were pissed!
Robotio: "I am the father of children."
"I have a dick, unlike some others I could name."
Ted Cruz might not want to reply to that one.
Pull the plug on the Marcobot 2.0!
Dr Carson: your first question sucked.
"But thanks for asking!"
Dr. Ben: "Judgment is what is required." Yes, sexy judgment.
His judgment will come in handy when we are in talks with Egypt.
He can solve the mystery of the Pyramids for them, at long last.
"So, tell me more about the grain pyramids."
http://whatisjudgment.ytmnd.com/ I'm sorry
(sound and picture involved so best left for a commercial break)
Ben says, "very unique," disqualifying himself immediately because everyone knows things cannot be relatively unique.
Kasich: we don't have to bust Russia's balls.
Carson: " I have judgement. Not knowledge, experience, understanding and wisdom, which is not important. That's the ticket. yeah."
Jeb!: OBAMA KERRY CLINTON–oh my!!!
Jeb!: I'll come up with something!
Amusing thought: Wouldn't it be hilarious if Glenn Greenwald and Amy Goodman moderated a GOP debate?
Bill Maher! Michael Moore!
Colbert, Bee, Stewart.
Tyson bringing questions on science just to make them stumble as well.
It would be less of a worthless time wasting circus. They'd never go for it.
Jeb! said "Nucular."
Damn I don't need another 4 or 8 years of that shit.
Seriously. I got hoarse yelling at the TV.
Did Trump just say "balls?" wtf?
Oh, this Jeb! – Trump throwdown is delicious!
"…get's his foreign policy from the shows." Effective once, but only then for news nerds like us.
Keep this up and the audience will start devouring each other.
We can always hope.
Comm-Maine-Knee
I swear that's the only foreign person he's ever heard of.
Canadian Anchor Baby: too many establishment Republicans don't give a fuck about national security.
Yeah, that'll help you to work with them in Congress…
What kind of experience and background do you have Cruz, you draft dodging Canadian anchor baby?
Canadian Anchor Baby: let's pay the Kurds to fight for us.
I find his proposal quite cheesy.
|This is fun..|
This was exactly what I hoped that link would be!
|Make your own! It's easy and fun!|
Weo, I actually agree with Trump.
Trumpy getting booed. I saw somewhere that Dubya has a 90% approval rating among SC republicans.
Jeb!: I love my dad.
"No WMD" is not exactly whatt this audience wants to hear.
This Dickerson guy is an excellent argument against nepotism.
WHOA, this Jeb! – Trump slugfest is just getting better! Don't interrupt, Kasich!
Ooh he looked up and saw Barbara's Bush.
lol

Uh, Jeb? You may want to re-think that whole "my brother kept us safe" line.
Trump is forgetting to turn on his charm, he's just interrupting and showing his true petulant bully self. Awesome.
FUCK you Jeb!: President Gore would NOT have gotten us into an unnecessary was FFS!
"He kept us safe!" BULLSHIT AND FUCK YOU!
He kept us safe except for that one fucking day..
Details, details. I seem to remember a little US mail Anthrax issue in my area around that time too. I'm sure it was nothing and we were all perfectly safe.
Too bad Christie isn't here to talk about 9/11
DAMN the audience is pissed at Trump!
And a Moment of Pause…with Ben Carson!
Um…Rubio? If Al Gore was in the WH, we'd have the security apparatus looking at terrorism instead of off with their heads in Star Wars, so it's likely there wouldn't *be* a 9/11. Boom.

Good, Hillz will get their vote. o-0
Does Ben Carson need to host a painting show on PBS or what?
"I'm going to put a happy little brain right here."
"And maybe a few nice chemtrails right up here"
But his Google trend is way up!
Mod: Donald, you've made promises with your mouth. How the fuck are you going to pay up?
Trump: the Democrats want to fuck things up!!!
All your pho are belong to us!
Harry Enten 9:42 PM
According to an CBS News poll released in October, George W. Bush had a 67 percent favorable rating among Republicans. His unfavorable rating was just 8 percent.
October 2015? Oh, fuck.

Oh, how I wish it wasn't from such a recent time…
Where was this Jeb the last 10 months or so?
Handing out toy turtles.
Mod: but answer the question.
The Donald: waste fraud and abuse!!!
In Soshecurity? Not so much.
Canadian Anchor Baby: people need to start making money! And I've got a post card!
Abolish the IRS!!1!
Imagine a foreign policy debate between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.
College Boy: parents should be able to write off their kids!
The Republican Debate So Far:
[Platitudes] … [Insults]… [Homilies]… [Wishful Thinking] … [Fantasy Economics]… [Historical Revisionism].
PLATITUDES ✓ INSULTS ✓ HOMILIES ✓ WISHFUL THINKING ✓ FANTASY ECONOMICS ✓ HISTORICAL REVISIONISM ✓ MUST BE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
With the right font it would make an excellent bumper sticker.
Next up: [Family]…[Reagan]…[G-d]…[Kill Obama.care]…
Kasich is going on about how good Medicaid is. He's toast.
Audience: "Don't confuse us with the facts!"
Silly Kasich, saving lives is a bad thing to conservative voters!
Jeb!: Obamacare sucks! Repeal and replace! DRINK!
Kasich: Jeb!'s Medicaid is bigger than mine!
Jeb!: moderator, let me keep attacking Kasich!
Kasich: people want unity!
[Despair] [Horror] [Fear] [Cannibalism] [Brains] Vote Cthulhu
Fun fact: Kasich moved to defund cancer screenings for women this week. And he's still more sane than everyone else on that stage.
Relatively sane.
Absolutely.
It's all about Ohio and Florida people.
I still want him to stick around through Ohio just so he can snipe delegates from people and force a contested election.
Ugh. And he was just promoting how Ohio had a yooge increase in the number of private sector jobs. Of course, he didn't mention that a bunch of teachers and nurses probably had to quit their good government jobs and had to go to work at Wal-Shart.
But that would have made him look bad!
Jeb!: hedge fund managers should pay their share.
Kiss that Jeb! comeback goodbye…
Dr Carson: go read about my tax plan, because I'm too tired to explain it.
Praised by Kato?

Oh boy, the hecklers are after College Boy on immigration. This will get uglier…
Why does Rubio hate families of immigrants?
Rubio sipping the water bottle as Cruz goes on about immigration. Shit's about to get real…
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
Why does Cruz hate families of immigrants?
Damn, the audience is booing everyone on immigration. Dafuq?
Legalize People!
To be perfectly honest: none of these people are qualified to effectively comment on Government, let alone lead it.
It's like a WND comment section came to life.
I saw a black lady in the audience!!!
As someone who has been to South Carolina within the last year, I can safely say that this loud booing is just normal for them.
@TheOnion: "Charles Koch Orders Sniper To Fire Warning Shot Next To Marco Rubio On Debate Stage"

College Boy: wrong is right and right is wrong. Anything Goes!!!
I forget, which one is 'college boy' again?
I'm not sure which good Wonker I'm stealing this one from, but the new moniker is “Robotio.”
Rubio: "Forward, into the Past!"
Our country is literally hanging, balanced.
Trump: [__________________]
Crowd: "WHOOOO!!!!! [gasp for breath. cash social security checks] WHOOOOO!"
@Jessica Valenti: "Rubio gives anti-choice, anti-marriage equality shoutouts – tries to make it sound modern. OK SURE"
|What's the time?|
And it's over.
Time to walk the dogs and get some booze, then I'll be back to see what the pundits have to say about this throwdown. Have a good night, everyone!
Night, thanks for the actual updates while I just kind of did random stuff in honor of what the debate moderator seemed to be doing!
Goodnight, good luck on the run tomorrow.

I heard it was rude, profane and ultra violent.
Sounds fun.
I saw it last night. I wasn't sure what was going on for about the first third, the flashbacks were confusing, but then it all came together, and basically it was very weird and gross and hilarious. The audience applauded at the end.
Yes.
The debate crowd was limited to Republican officials, donors, and volunteers, according to German Lopez at Vox.
Which means Trump, when he was dissing Bush about allegedly packing the audience, was equally packing the audience.
It probably played well for his fans though!

Listening to Kasich is how Ohioans manage to go into hibernation in warmer than normal winters.
With this heat, I'm just hoping not to set a PW (personal worst) like I did last year. I dream of doing a sub-4 marathon, but my fastest ever was 4:17 so IDK. In normal weather, 4:30 is realistic. I wish I were faster, but oh well…
