New Hampshire primary: Trump, Sanders win
(CNN) Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders cruised to early victories in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich is projected to finish second in the GOP race.

Multiple Republicans, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, are now battling for a third-place finish.

Trump, a brash billionaire reality TV star who has never run for office, and Sanders, a self-declared democratic socialist, were seen as long-shot outsiders when they launched their campaigns. Their victories reflect deep bipartisan discontent at professional politicians and suggest that both the Democratic and Republican races will now be long struggles that could stretch well into the spring.

#1  AFAIC Bernie Sanders is the public or overt face of Marxism-Socialism-Govtism's protractive, covert drive to impose the same on the US widout need of asking the electorate or mainstream iff they want it - ITS BEEN COVERTLY GOING ON MANY YEARS-N-DECADES, BUT FINALLY US SOCIALISTS + ALIGNED ARE WILLING TO ADMIT OR PUT IT OUT IN THE OPEN.

OTOH, as things get worse before they get better, espec towards Year 2025 and beyond iff Amerika is still not fully suborned under OWG + SWO, I suspect it will be the turn of the Harder-line Commies = Ultra-Left to come out into the open agz everybody, including agz their own Left-of-Center + Far/Deep-Left Anti-Soviet Socialist brethren. THE FRATRICIDE WON'T BE PRETTY.

#2  Wheeee.....

Considering this state also chose:

Hillary Clinton
Paul Tsongas
Gary Hart

#3  So, any bets on how long it'll take for Hillary to spit something anti-Semitic?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 02/10/2016 6:54 Comments || Top||

#4  No, it likely won't be anti-Semitic, she and Bill still need the Jewish funding. She's headed to South Carolina now. Being married to the first 'black president' will be the cross she carries. She'll soon be channeling MLK. Wait and see.

I have a sense Champ and the regime may be slow rolling the email investigation and formal charges on the Beest until he leaves office. A presidential pardon may actually NOT be something he wants to issue on his watch. Her offer or suggestion of a Supreme Court chair for the Champ was an example of total desperation. The media attention she is getting provides an excellent cover for Champ's ineptitude, foreign policy mistakes, and failing legacy.

#5  But, Bernie gets in her way, and diplomacy is Bill's department.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 02/10/2016 7:25 Comments || Top||

#6  ...well, given pandering and money laundering are significant parts of diplomacy, I see your point.

#10  Love the picture of Hilarity and Bill.

#11  CNN AM repor that CHRISTIE + CARLY have now ended ther respective campaigns for the WH in the wake of the NH results.

Too bad, I was hoping to see they + Rand Paul, etal. stick it out until after Super Tuesday.

How Hard Would It Be To Steal The New Hampshire Primary?
[DAILYCALLER] The first and foremost problem is the simple fact Secretary Gardner cannot guarantee a close election will be determined by Granite Staters. The problem is “drive by voting.” The simple fact of the matter is that political operatives, and even the media, who are in New Hampshire on Election Day could vote in New Hampshire.

Some famous political operatives have done this in the past, including New York resident and niece to the Vice President, Alana Biden, who volunteered for the Obama-Biden campaign in 2012 in New Hampshire and voted in New Hampshire. She simply said she was living (with eight other campaign staffers) in New Hampshire on Election Day.

As Secretary Gardner has stated, “working on political campaigns is not sufficient evidence” to make someone eligible to vote in New Hampshire. Secretary Gardner personally witnessed vote fraud in 2008 when AmeriCorps volunteers who planned to leave on December 1 registered at the polls and voted.

Supreme Court blocks Obama carbon emissions plan
"Well, that's it, then. Executive Actions!"
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday delivered a major blow to President Barack Obama by blocking federal regulations to curb carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, the centerpiece of his administration's strategy to combat climate change.

On a 5-4 vote, the court granted a request made by 27 states and various companies and business groups to block the administration's Clean Power Plan. The move means the regulations will not be in effect while litigation continues over whether their legality.

The brief order from the justices said that the regulations would be on hold until the legal challenge is completed. The court's five conservatives all voted to block the rule. The order noted that the four liberals would have denied the application.
Un-Judicial four incompetent commies who vote Dem on votes lockstep. SOOOOO important that we get a POTUS that won't appoint another

#1  Amendments I would add:

Term limits:
2 terms per house, extend the house of reps to 4 year terms.

Sunset provisions:
All laws expire in 5 years. Even the "entitlements". Can be pushed to 10 years with a 2/3 majority of both houses.

Supreme Court:
The supreme court will be made up of 50 justices, 1 appointed for each state for a term of 1 year. Vice president holds the tie breaker vote like he does in the Senate.

Hopefully that will fix things enough to turn our country around.

#2  As noted by Andy McCarthy with previous decisions by these four, I'm willing to bet that half, if not all of the four dissenters did not even bother to write dissenting opinions.

Lock step, baby!

#3  I like your plan DV.
Posted by: Besoeker || 02/10/2016 5:17 Comments || Top||

#4  re: #1

Good start Darth, couldn't change the SC so often though. Maybe 3 or 5 yr terms.

Especially like the Sunset provision.

One addition I'd make is some sort of requirement banning these Omnibus Bills and requiring congress to actually define the regulations rather than handing that job to unelected bureaucrats.
Posted by: AlanC || 02/10/2016 8:00 Comments || Top||

#5  Congress should at least require that executive branch detailed regs be submitted to, admended by and approved by Congress.
Posted by: Sven the pelter || 02/10/2016 8:07 Comments || Top||

#6  ...it'll all just get tossed into another super omnibus bill and passed without a full reading.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 02/10/2016 9:15 Comments || Top||

#7  That is the truth, P2K. We also need to get rid of omnivorious bills, and require a quiz on each bill to see of a rep or senator actually read the bill. Cheaters on the quiz will be thrown out of office.
Posted by: Alaska Paul || 02/10/2016 11:27 Comments || Top||

#8  My friend used to write briefings to be given before Congress. She would meet with the committee staff beforehand to ask what they really wanted to know and then she would make sure that it appeared somewhere on the charts.
Posted by: Sven the pelter || 02/10/2016 11:43 Comments || Top||

#9  Trump / DarthVader 2016!
Posted by: Vast Right Wing Conspiracy || 02/10/2016 13:52 Comments || Top||

#10  "One addition I'd make is some sort of requirement banning these Omnibus Bills"

Mia Love's proposed House Bill would take care of that, #4 Alan.

Never gonna happen - too little opportunity for graft. :-(

#11  Darth Vader for 2016.

He will force choke the living shit out of those that oppose him.
