That one was funny because of the assumption that TV is a valid source of news.

[Shadowlord]

Meh, that original article was from The Federalist, which is like Breitbart with a nicer suit. I mean, there's an article on there about how the Democrats are the party of Palpatine and the Empire, and a lament from a guy who got a cable package that didn't have FOX about how unbalanced and biased the news is without it.

I'm aware of their tilt (or spin), though I try to judge that on a per-author basis. After reading the Trump OODA loop article, I looked at several other articles by the same author on The Federalist to get an idea of his positions and what biases he might have. He's clearly (american) conservative, and anti-Trump, but isn't saying anything completely absurd, as far as I saw, but I only read 3 or 4 of the articles that showed up, IIRC.

P.S. Who sells a cable package that doesn't include Fox? He must mean the Fox News channel?

So, who's ready for the caucuses tomorrow? The last Iowa poll is out, from the most respected name in caucus polling, and it has Trump to win.

Iowa Caucuses 2016: America Gets Cornholed

So, who's ready for the caucuses tomorrow? The last Iowa poll is out, from the most respected name in caucus polling, and it has Trump to win.

By a narrow margin that is almost inside the margin of error. Same for Clinton vs Sanders.

I still think it's going to be up in the air. Theres definetly going to be a huge battle for the fifth and sixth places because, well, theres so many candidates and they're going to get crowded into the bottom.

Lol Trump.....  I wonder if he'd be willing to trade that for Air Force One (and his helicopter for Marine One) if he does become president, might not have a choice though because if they outfit his plane with the usual stuff AF1 has, he won't be able to take it home with him when he leaves.

[RedKing]

Sure he will, he'll just use taxpayer money to cover the cost of removing it all first.

[TheBiggerFish]

What taxpayer money?

[mainiac]

We dont know yet but Presidente sure will need a lot of it to make American great again.

Pssssh, this just goes to show that Trump doesn't understand how the game is really played.  Gondor was a Yuuuuuuuge success.  Elendil?  What a negotiator, what a classy guy.  That guy started out with nothing!  He said he wanted to make a kingdom in the east and his father was like "whoa, we dont build in that part of Middle Earth, that's Istari territory."  But he started out with nothing, he borrowed a warfleet from his father and he goes east and he runs the whole city?  Why?  Because the Middle Men didn't build anymore.  Elendil, that guy is a builder.  Amandil, Isildur, they build stuff.  Isildur,  he builds the White City, he builds Osgiliarth.  He makes jobs for the Middle Men and they let him run the place because the guy is a winner, he knows how to negotiate.  He knows how to go to Sauron and say "hey, you want to come into my country and work, well you gotta pay for that privilege."  And how?  Because the Dunedain are the best people in Middle Earth and they deserve the best military in Middle Earth.

Show me Aragorn's birth certificate, the Elves show up and just so "happen" to replace the Steward of Gondor with this bum? Friends with wizards? With Elves? He's in the pockets of Elves, he's working off Elf wages. Borimir. BOROMIR. Remember Boromir? Who killed him? Who replaced him? Now I can't say Gandalf and the Elves killed the rightful rulers of Gondor because they'd sue me, but it seems awfully convenient that Denethor was set on fire, I mean come on - pyre oil can't melt steward meat! What happened to BOROMIR? This is why, you know, you send your best negotiators to the Elves and they kill you and replace you with some forest hermit who's probably a wildman of Dunland as far as we know because they won't show us his birth certificate, but we're just supposed to take the Elves word for it that he's the heir of Isildur. Where are the Elves now? They've gone over the sea, and they're taking our jobs with them. I'll take them back. And I'll bomb the shit out of Mordor.

Dude, I just realized Denethor is totally Trump:

1) Doubts the citizenship of his nation's ruler regardless of evidence
2) Constantly going around saying we are doomed
3) Doesn't understand basic military strategy
4) Insults our allies
5) Married to a much younger woman
6) Batshit insane

What about the shire?  Those short people come into our country and steal our ringbearing jobs.

[Loud Whispers]

I'm sure there are some good hobbits but all the ones I've seen are master thieves, and you won't even believe what they did to the Tower of Sauron... I cry evertim

[lol jk, it wasn't hobbits, everyone knows the eye of Sauron's destruction was an INSIDE JOB by the ELVES]

It's worse than that. Those little midgets totally abuse the foodstamp system, with their "second" and "third" breakfasts, taking food away from much more needy human children living in poverty.

Not to mention the addiction statistics the Shire has for Longbottom Leaf.
