I don't disagree but that seems like the sort of thing that could force them into having to deal with some of this stuff. Like, if Gorusch is in Congress condemning Trump's behavior towards judges as a response to a Democrat's questions then poo poo potentially hits the fan.

the only thing that's actually caused them to not openly slob on trump's micropenis is him equivocating putin and the us on o'reilly and even then it was a half-hearted tut tut

and that was purely because trump broke kayfabe


actual policy or openly questioning the legitimacy of the judiciary they couldn't give two shits about (and it's not like most of them haven't bitched about activist judges legislating from the bench) and if gorsuch is still trump's pick, then by god he'll get confirmed

that's all well and good when you're talking abstractly, but then how do you account for every single ex-marine that's now a cop

When you are a marine grunt for 4-20 years, you do not have any other skills. They get out and think, oh poo poo I do not really know how to do anything else. So they become cops, because they are good at it.

My prediction is that the GI Bill and everything will stay so that they can pound their chest about how much they love the troops, but they'll do something incomprehensibly bad that we just aren't predicting to avoid paying them out, like drafting people into private military forces

For what it's worth, I don't think the Courts have a strong way to strike back at Trump if he decides to test out just throwing EOs at them that all do the same thing in different ways/wordings, especially if they take 15 minutes and consult a lawyer or two to give them at least some basic legal backing. The Court might've shown it had enough guts to threaten Contempt when DHS wasn't abiding by the hold before, but it'd be another matter entirely if they put Trump in Contempt for filling their inbox with obvious junk EOs meant to overwhelm the system. Even if it's within their legal power, it'd take considerable guts to charge the President under those circumstances, and half of Trump's shtick is brinksmanship.

Naw, people embracing it after they gained power is neutral because they never intended to actually kill the bill

People screaming at them in defense of it and the ACA being 3x more popular than the face of their party is probably something they aren't keen on though, because it means there may be the fuel required to expand it with a public option if the Dems take the reigns soon

yeah, that's what's backfiring, people are getting insured when they never could before, or hit lifetime limits...etc, or their friend/church members or whatever and they think 'well if it helped out bob's wife with her cancer and all it can't be all bad' it's really hard to take away entitlements when they are popular.

I think the way this happened is carlson as an outside observer is able to suspend his programming just long enough to see that brexit is objectively bad. And this guy, who is british, not american, says he predicted brexit and trump and that they're the same phenomenon. And his message is not openly critical of trump and is sympathetic to his voters. And he's got a sweet foreign accent, again being not american. And that is the combination of factors that allowed this segment to be possible.

mattis definitely was not that guy, but merely "least bad" which turned out to still be really loving bad

also, the NATO intelligence circuit with ties to the navy are likely to have the first anti-defectors-to-russia among them especially with the navy seal benghazi and more like that to look forward to
