The Texas Republicans have been trying to warn their own party for a few years that there's a massive change underway in the Lone Star state.

Biased?
I think most of the people in here see politics rightly as entertainment.

Why in God's name would an Australian be watching CNN anyway?

No shit, a Chinese lady ran across the road in front of my car carrying at least 5 big packs of toilet paper . WTF is happening? I couldn’t buy a dust mask the other day, the bloke at Bowens said a Chinese bloke came in and bought everything they had. Bonkers

I don’t know man, I always chuck it on for a bit.

But in my head it’s a cross between a skit for Saturday night live and mad tv.

you’ve got Anderson Cooper, who might as walk out in his navy regalia, Chris Cuomo the dumb little angry New Yorker, Jake Tapper who actually is a cartoonist and Don Lemon like a character in ‘get out’ who knows better but is playing along for the pay check.

That team put together is dark comedy genius.

I went to the local Costco and the lines for toilet paper was 50 deep while the register aisles was 20 deep each. Unbelievable.

This is probably more suited to the random thread but I still don’t understand, what’s going on with the toilet paper? Why?

Like WTF

Just in case you were wondering,

Humans are largely gullible, stupid and pack followers.

If anyone feels like starting a cult, I feel that there’s an opportunity to make some

The pack is always dumber than the dumbest individual in it.

I reckon the Chinese have started the bulk buying craze, then the others looked at it and figured, they won't be able to buy it when they need it, so decided to follow suit. Before you know it, nothing is available. I can understand maybe stocking up on long life foods like canned tuna, rice, pasta, frozen food etc (although I haven't done anything like that) but why on Earth is the toilet paper such a target??? FFS.

Interesting side note to Super Tuesday, there’s more people who voted for trump in a dead rubber, then the democrats combine totals.

I don’t think any of the Dems candidates have the pull to beat him.

EU chief praises Greece as 'shield' of Europe after police attack refugees at border

Ursula von der Leyen pledges €700m to help Greek security forces crack down on refugees

www.independent.co.uk

European Union leaders have praised Greece as the "shield" of Europe against refugees, despite emerging evidence of inhumane and violent treatment of migrants by Greek security forces at the country's border.


Ms von der Leyen was last year accused of adopting "fascist rhetoric" after she created a new job in her Commission called the "Commissioner for Protecting our European Way of Life" – to be in charge of migration policy.

Do we really want to open people's minds?

If this is a money making exercise then actually enlightening people will make it harder to fleece them.

It's like that old saying at cult school:

You can enlighten their minds or their pockets. Your choice.

It’s suspected that there’s fear that if anyone in a household gets the sniffles the whole house will be quarantined and unable to venture out or have any contact with another human for two weeks so they’re stocking up on the essentials.

Craziness!

It’s one of the strangest things I’ve experienced. Could you imagine the hysteria if we had an actual crisis?

It’s all about levels, you need a couple of illuminated fanatics at the start, to spread the message.

And the others who want to get there. Who just always need that extra book, reading or donation before we can start with enlightenment.
add in sleep dep, starvation and a bit of Stockholm syndrome and we’re on the way to printing money.

It really does. People are nuts.
