Nick: Any guesses who might be in the Live Lounge?
Tina: It’s a secret, so I reckon it’s because they’re so big that it’d cause panic outside the Radio 1 building. Maybe one of 1D is releasing some solo stuff.
Nick: That could be good. Like, they’d just come in to Radio 1. Boom!
Fiona: [whispers excitedly] Harry Styles!!! No?
Tina: Potentially. Zayn! No, that’s actually unlikely.
Nick: No, he has issues w/ turning up. So, you’re saying…
Tina: Someone off of 1D.
Nick: Do you know any of their names?
Tina: Of course I do!!! Harry, Louis, Liam… Zayn.
Nick: No, Zayn left.
Tina: Oooohhh… Who’s the other one?
Nick: NIALL!!! What if Niall’s listening now?!?!?! That could be Niall on the phone now and this’d be really awkward.
In Japan, radiation creates monsters (Godzilla) and in America radiation creates superheroes
Shockingly, it’s almost like Japan and America have very different narratives surrounding nuclear fallout. Now, if we all think very very hard, maybe someone could think of why this might be.
For all there is to hate about Trump, I’m much more scared of a President Cruz than a President Trump.
Why? Just curious.
Bottom line is that Trump wants attention. Cruz wants power. Trump is an entertainer. Cruz is a master politician who believes petulance is a political ideology. Of every Republican in the field, Cruz is most steadfast in his ultra-conservative beliefs and will never bend or meet for compromise.
Trump craves attention and will always put himself above policies. Cruz is incredibly methodical and is always playing the long game to accomplish his policy goals. Yes, Trump is far more likely to accidentally set off an international incident, but Cruz in power will strangle this country and bring it to its knees before he allows it to become something he doesn’t agree with.
I cannot stress how evangelical Ted Cruz is. If he wins this election, it will be on the backs of the religious right.
He wants constitutional amendment to make SCOTUS judges have retention elections so he can boot off justices like Kennedy who become more liberal over time.
He’s willing to shut down the federal government instead of allowing any funding of Planned Parenthood.
He wants to ban birth control including IUD and morning after pill
He did actually shutdown the federal government because he doesn’t like Obamacare.
The next president will probably nominate 4 justices to the Supreme Court. (1 Conservative, 2 Liberals, 1 Swing) Cruz will not consider any nominees who have a hint of moderate in them. This could easily lead to a 7-2 Supreme Court decision outlawing abortion, ending Obamacare, or abolishing affirmative action or civil rights protections.
The reason Trump will never scare me as much as Cruz is that Ted Cruz is brilliant, he is a true political organizer and mastermind. He’s skillfuly united faith circles all over the US and will ride a wave all the way into South Carolina.
And just to prove my point. Look at the Tea Party. It’s a tiny segment of American politics, but the power it carries is because of Ted Fucking Cruz. When met with something he didn’t like, he SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT as a freshman Senator! A FRESHMAN! Imagine him with real executive power.
