If they already in the audience booing him though why would they care? Unless SNL is no longer live. I'd feel ripped off if the SNL I get to go to stars The Trump. Not like being banned for LIFE from SNL showings will be some big loss.

McAlister posted:Clinton also says they shouldn't have the weapons. This is purely unrealistic policy and probably would be dropped if Clinton ever attempted to throw it out. Even if you had a flat AWB across the board, it would only take one leak and another LA style shootout, which would be entirely blamed on the left. Nobody here wants to own that. Guns and military equipment don't make cops fascist dickheads. Cops being fascist dickheads makes them fascist dickheads. You're just absolving them of any blame put on them otherwise. e: take this poo poo into the Police & Criminal Justice or gunchat thread, please Job Truniht fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Oct 13, 2015 |

Diamond Joe should come out on stage to "No More Tears". It would be awesome on so many levels.

So let's see, the head of the Investigate Planned Parenthood committee admitted there was no wrongdoing, Planned Parenthood decided to voluntarily stop taking payments for packing and shipping fetal tissue and will now do it out of pocket at a hit to its bottom line making science even harder to do, but I guess that's what we have to do to be done with the investiga--- http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/256773-house-republicans-planned-parenthood-probes-must-continue quote:House Republicans are not letting up in their investigations of Planned Parenthood, after the group announced Tuesday it is ending its controversial practice of accepting compensation for fetal tissue donations. Jason Chaffetz is literal human trash and I will literally buy a loving cake the day he dies.

Seriously, this is just "THE INVESTIGATIONS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES" at this point. We've had how many Benghazi committees, how many Planned Parenthood committees are we going to end up with, and when was the last time we actually passed a budget?

Hasn't this been basically what everyone has been saying since like 2008, if not earlier? That the GOP is stuck between the crazed evangelicals/teabags and the "discrimination is bad publicity" business types, and the crazed ones are driving the business ones out due to gerrymandering thanks to how they've been focusing more and more on stuff like Palin's hosed up version of slam poetry rather than any semblance of policy? The end result being that there's zero interest in the actual job of governance since to them winning the election is governance enough?

I think a lot are also pissed they won a majority in both houses (and have the Supreme Court to write laws for them) and yet Obama is still president and Christianity isn't the state religion. When what their Reps are promising is impossible, everyone is a RINO and I have no idea what the end result of this all is when a percentage of the country is living in Cloud CooCoo Land but is adamant that they get their way at the expense of everything.

Well hopefully the end result is a complete rebuke by the electorate. I have a feeling that the Tea Party is going to lose a lot of steam once the president is white again.

Maybe the GOP will be able to excise the deadly parasite from their brains before it's too late for them, but it's unlikely and the rest of the US will have to live with the stinking corpse in the room. It's already getting pretty ripe in here
