15. going for more coconut oil, great to pop corn in---healthy recipe here

RECIPE for pop-the-corn yourself, using coconut and olive oils

Heat the oils in a big pot with the popcorn. Watch closely. Shake it baby!

Shake the pot once in a while to keep contents from burning.

When corn starts popping, pick up the pot so it's close to the burner but not right on it

Shake pot, hovering over direct heat. Good for arm muscles

Popping should be going on

When done, add sweet or salty mix. Ideas below:

Sweet: maple syrup/agave syrup and butter or oil

Salty: sea salt, nutritional yeast, cider vinegar, soy sauce

2. So Ben Carson admits to having committed violent felonies? I missed that, thanks EarlG!

17. I'm thinking some bricks & rocks hit him in the head, too

seriously. Some in the business have noticed his speechifying is peculiar, not just in what he says but in how he says it.

19. With friends like Ben Carson

who needs enemies?

I just love how he really puts the smart neurosurgeon stereotype to shame. Even then, I saw somewhere that he's leading the polls in Iowa somehow.

23. "somehow" is the wonder of it all, lol

[Iwillnevergiveup]

3. No doubt

clearly a most creepy bunch.

4. Sad collection of

Sideshow freaks.

5. One would THINK that this is a clever Republican strategy to trot out a string of losers

Only to have a serious, viable candidate come riding in on his shining white horse to save his Party's sorry ass from looking foolish in the general.

And yet--in the last two presidential contests, for the last two election cycles, on the Republican roster there was no such serious, viable candidate anywhere to be found. Instead, they ran two of the weakest tickets that party has run since Alf Landon.

For this reason, I have a healthy respect for the Democratic party primary battle this/next year (as I did in 2008). For now, anyway, I see the nominee of the Democratic Party in 2016 as being the person inaugurated on January 20, 2017. Just because Hillary has done this before doesn't mean she will avoid making mistakes this time. Just because Bernie has not done this before, it does not mean he is automatically to be counted out.

21. can you think of anyone in that party who presents as serious and viable (and, one hopes,

intelligent, thoughtful and empathetic)?

[DFW]

25. I know one

But he's not in politics, and doesn't always vote for his party's candidate if he feels they suck, which has been an ever more frequent occurrence since 2008.

As far as anyone in elective office--no, no one. They've all either retired or were primaried out of existence. They'd have to produce a complete outsider, say someone like Trump with the brains of Al Gore.

[niyad]

26. that is a truly depressing commentary on the current state of our political system.

[kimbutgar]

6. What's even more scary is that people actually think they have the gravitas to be Presidental

Or that those in the red states will vote for them in 2017 in enough numbers they will be elected. The Vox article from last week scared the crap out of me.

[stonecutter357]

7. K&R!

[malthaussen]

9. Ah, that would explain Dr Carson's choice of profession, then.

Surgery is made for those who like to stab others.

10. And let's not forget Christie Kreme's getting kicked out of the Amtrak car

Tony Soprano was more presidential than that steaming pile.

You just can't make this shit up! If this keeps up, the Onion will have to switch to reporting real news.

So, who's left?
Carly (I-drove-HP-into-the-ditch) Fiorina.
Rand (chip-off-the-old-block) Paul.
Raphael Edward(what-birth-certificate?) Cruz.
Lindsey (Confederate battle flag flip-flopper) Graham

John Kasich. When might we expect his campaign to meltdown?

They'd better start working on their October surprise. Bengazi ain't gonna' cut it, and neither will Ebola.

18. lol, funny post

[PatrickforO]

11. Concerning pro-immigration protesters being violently removed by Trump supporters,

does anyone here besides me hear echoes of jack boots and brown-shirted supporters marching through our streets? The sounds of shouting in the streets and breaking glass? Does anyone anticipate the horror of the night and the mist?

I don't know about you people, the this scares the shit out of me.

14. the SS-like thugs are already doing their bit for the repukes who egg them on

---such things as killing docs @ abortion clinics, targeting any and all workers at these clinics, shooting up churches in African American communities, vandalizing Muslim and Jewish mosques and synagogues, etc.

Repug lurkers: don't think we don't notice what you're up to

Interestingly, NPR had a segment this summer from someone who was in a RWnut group for quite awhile. He said these groups consist of people who are typically antisocial, have mental probs, are uneducated, violent, drug users, etc.

Then there was a show I caught on TV (PBS? History Channel?) that pointed out there were a lot of homeless boys or boys without fathers in Germany after WWI. They were some combination of low skilled, impoverished, uneducated, unemployed, violent, had no prospects and engaged in criminal stuff. Just like today's RWnut groups. Hitler gave these poor boys a "home" in the SS.

Scary stuff, I agree Very scary. I will go Hillary or Bernie. Either one will be great. If Hillary wins, Bernie could be in some high position governing Wall St. If Bernie wins, Hillary can do anything she wants to do, either in or out of politics. But these repugs have got to go out of the House and Senate.

12. the treacherous four?

13. Hypocrisy thy name is Republican.

16. Bring it, Carson, tell us how/why women who have abortions are like slave owners

Carson's explanation of his simile, metaphor or whatever the hell type comparison he was making in his damaged mind is ludicrous and didn't make the comparison at all. Carson needs to give us the details of how these two separate things, women who get abortions and slave owners, compare. Looking forward to it.

What a bunch of dangerous buffoons

[different equation]

20. Wonderful crowd of idiots..

[wordpix]

22. if Jebbie is having a hissy fit already, what will he do as pres?

poor widdle rich boy would rather be playing polo than meeting the people/hearing their problems and dealing with his party's teehadists and other fat cats like !. What kind of leadership and commitment is that?

[burrowowl]

24. Have a hissy fit

What a bunch of low IQs! Hopefully, Mericans will recognize this!
