Usually Sundays are dead, but there's a bunch of stuff happening tonight so I'm back for more. From Senator Harry Reid Backs Rep. Keith Ellison for Democratic National Committee Chair posted by freeper ColdOne So far, he's backed by Harry Reid, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and incoming minority leader Chuck Schumer. I'd be hesitant to trust Schumer or Reid alone or together, but I'm inclined to trust both Warren and Sanders, so maybe he'll be the right person to lead the Democrats out of the information and opinion bubble that lead to Hillary's defeat. But freep sees one small problem with Mister Ellison. quote:"Now is the time for new thinking and a fresh start at the DNC. Now is the time for Keith." Oh yeah, Keith Ellison, a black guy from Minnesota, is a Muslim. He caused a hell of a ruckus when he was sworn into Congress on a koran. quote:To: ColdOne While the Clinton campaign still has their head stuck up their rear end, many in the Democratic party have already figured out that abandoning the white working class was one of the main things that went wrong this year. If Bernie and Warren think that Ellison can take these lessons and run with them, then I think he might be someone to try out and see what happens. Oh wait, sorry, I thought this was a thread where we were discussing reality. quote:To: ColdOne quote:To: Hiro Protaginast quote:To: ColdOne quote:To: ColdOne quote:To: angry elephant quote:To: ColdOne ... they think they have a mandate, don't they. quote:To: ColdOne UNIPARTY! UNIPARTY! UNIPARTY! Oh wait, a Muslim might lead the Democrats? quote:To: ColdOne quote:To: ColdOne quote:To: ColdOne quote:To: ColdOne A freeper that respects Howard Dean!? quote:To: Hiro Protaginast But let's end this one on an opus. quote:To: ColdOne

Also, tonight Trump went on 60 Minutes. In the interview he said he's fine with gay marriage and likes the Clintons enough that he's reconsidering the whole special prosecutor thing, among other walkbacks. Brace yourselves.

DeusExMachinima posted:Yep, Dems basically spent 8 years doing anything but rolling back executive powers post-Bush. Now the Trumpster has those powers. Well.. the current legal framework gives the executive tons of latitude. If congress wanted the executive to have less latitude then they could just make laws to limit it. In cases where there's an undefined implementation detail then deference is given to the executive. This is why people in congress bitching about how ICE isn't really taking care of illegal immigrants is very silly. All they have to do is fund the organization properly instead of having it rely on immigration fees and then the executive would have far less latitude to prioritize deportations. Also, most checks/balances at the highest level have been smoke and mirrors gentlemens' agreements for years. It's silly to think that if Obama had used fewer executive orders that Trump wouldn't take a poo poo all over all those the same way he took a poo poo on every campaign norm. At some point he's going to cause a constitutional crisis. The system isn't really set up for people to gently caress it with hard the way Trump likes to do with all rules/regs.

It's not hard to believe Trump would favor the one he could creep on over the one that he holds in contempt.

He also doubled down on getting rid of the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote. I wouldn't really mind if Trump went back to some of the more liberal-ish views he used to hold but I'm not really holding my breath.

I wouldn't really mind if Trump went back to some of the more liberal-ish views he used to hold but I'm not really holding my breath. I think he probably does hold a lot of liberal views, but I doubt Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and Mike Pence are going to be very eager to accomplish any of the things he holds liberal views on. Also, as an outsider, Trump has no idea how any of this poo poo works. So he has no way to hold anybody in his administration accountable. It's going to be 4 years of incredible graft and internal politics. A presidency isn't like a building. You can't walk through it and say, "yo, the paint over here looks like poo poo, do it again." His staff will quietly undermine all the left-leaning stuff he says he wants to do while supporting all the right wing stuff.

He's then going to hang a Mission Accomplished banner on it and continue attempting to secure budget to deport people.

Yeah, while it'd be nice if Trump made an active effort to get rid of the electoral college, after this election with Hillary winning the popular vote, the GOP knows that it would make winning the presidency next to impossible for them. I mean, even with as bad a campaign as Hillary ran, even with all the screwups the Dems had, the voter suppression, the huge loss of Dem voters, without the EC she still would have won, and the GOP is smart enough to know it's the only hope they have of winning the presidency.

I thought it was a code for Obergefell, since as we know giving gay people the right to marry is giving them special privileges, thus "separate but equal".

Subjunctive posted:You guys have "no homosexuals in straight units"? Still? We have homosexuals in all types of units. But freep think is that having them in there makes all the straight guys a bunch of limp wristed faggots too because gay is a virus that can be spread or some poo poo. So when you see them in action and poo poo you don't see a difference between straights and gays, but freep thinks you can because the gays will be fabulous in their tight bicycle shorts and matching scarf tied around their necks while dicking anyone that happens to wander past and prancing around like little schoolgirls while issuing orders/calling in poo poo on the radio with the gayest lisp you can imagine

Freep is scared gay soldiers will look at straight soldiers and fantasize about them and view them as nothing more than sex objects. This will make the straight soldiers uncomfortable and nervous and thus reduce their fighting efficiency because another man might be masturbating to them, oh no! And you never know if one of those gay guys will suddenly grab your butt or rub against you when you're trying to do your job! As has been said before, Freep is worried that gay men will treat straight men like how straight men treat women.

Freep and others like them seem worried about groups that aren't them for that same reason in general. You see it when they talk about whites becoming a minority population, and even in their reactions to people who disagree with them about the election. They're not scared of what those groups actually do. They're scared that people will treat them like they treat others. They really can't imagine people would act differently to them, and they're bullies. It's simultaneously sad and kind of scary.
