This sort of "Democrats are secret Republicans" screed is just fundamentally non-persuasive.

Radbot posted:Yeah, we get it, and it's this "system" that will cause America to (rightly) fall. You need to have 80% of the country on your side (due to gerrymandering) to do literally anything? That's a bad system of government. The alternative is a system where 80% of the country is already on your side, and you still can't pass what you want done, because there's no representation at all. I mean I'm not going to claim that the specific set of rules governing American democracy cannot be improved upon, but that it is a democracy still rates it a couple stars higher than what came before.

pathetic little tramp posted:China upset that the US is moving warships near their artificial islands. News reports are reporting it as breathlessly as possible, but from listening to Wang Yi's statement, it sounds like their attitude is "Hey watch it" instead of "GOD drat AMERICA!" The whole "artificial island" thing is especially funny because the major nations have literally spent 50 years pretending that Sealand and the Republic of Minerva weren't real nations because they were artificial islands. (In actuality they weren't real nations because they lacked any ability to defend themselves let alone project force)

The HFC doesn't really want to oppose the deal as much as they want to be seen opposing the deal, so you'll get a few snipes from them about Ryan to reporters, but he'll still have enough of their votes for Speaker. The "we simply can't keep doing business like this" is Ryan's sop to them.

Obama has had many faults, but he managed to get a lot done (though notice 2/3 things were done during the 2 years he had the house and senate) He also made sure that I'm going to be paying out the rear end for Medicare when I'm old and repeatedly laid out the red carpet for massive Social Security cuts. But at least gays can fight in our pointless wars!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/10/27/donald-trump-to-iowa-will-you-get-your-numbers-up-please/ Donald Trump to Iowa: ‘What the hell are you people doing to me?’ Pretty much the best headline I've read so far this election cycle. Love you Trump, never change. This article also reads like an Onion article. Choice cuts: quote:"I do well with the evangelicals, but the evangelicals let me down a little bit," Trump said. "I don't know what I did." quote:Trump wandered off into other topics -- praising John Deere tractors, sharing stories about fans who send him letters and slamming the "crooked stuff" in politics. But 15 minutes later he returned again to his Iowa poll numbers. Ferdinand the Bull fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Oct 28, 2015 |

The thing is, he did stop smoking. He passed legitimate drug tests done by a proper drug testing authority both before and after the fight. The only one that he tested positive for anything at all was the NSAC test which they did not test a B sample and had no proper chain of custody. The simple math doesn't add up that he could possible test as high as he did on the NSAC test while negative on the other regulated ones. The sample quality and testing method used is extremely dubious.
