    Those satanic pacts are hard to get around just by the dead voting. It's like Slimer helping the Ghostbusters against Zuul.

    Y'know, I couldn't stand George W. Bush as president. But I must admit my opinion of him has improved over the last four years.

    What is it? All I can see is a black rectangle marked "This video has been blocked for your country by the used who uploaded it" (in French). I even tried switching to a US connection with my VPN, and I get the same thing.

    It's a clip from last night's Saturday Night Live with Alec Baldwin and Jim Carrey. Might be geoblocked as it's from a Canadian network. Sorry.

    I... completely, totally 100% agree with this decision.

    Damn.

    Yeah. That is a perfect place to put a Republican and Mitt would be great at the job. He’s done the step into a clusterfuck and fix it (Olympics) and has plenty of executive experience.

    I definitely think this idea is not as crazy as I thought when I first read it.

    Romney's a technocrat, and a good one. Unlike most Republicans, he has no ideological reasons to sabotage the ACA. And putting him in charge might help blunt Republican attacks against any missteps in the implementation of Biden's plan.

    And if these are the kind of places Biden puts Rs and it is done so he can ‘balance’ progressives in policy positions (Treasury, Labor, State, etc) then that is some crafty shit. :clap:

    Not only is he not opposed to RomneyCare but has literally implemented it before.

    I mean, damn.

    Great choice.

    I don't go to church, but if I did and if my preacher got political one way or then then I'd get the fuck out of there. IMO, there's no place politics in the house of the lord.

    Mitt Romney is an honest to God businessman. His ties to Bain Capital don't please me, but I think we would be well served if he took the job.
