Fortunately, he has neither of those things. For once incompetence is saving our American Democracy. Well, maybe not "saving", but at least stemming the bleed-out.

It's a pork project, and he'd have to shell out a ton of money into Democrat districts to get the 60 votes he'd need.

He probably could get enough of them, the party's only real ideology is the fuhrerprinzip and they'd probably be willing to choke it down, but fortunately he doesn't have the cunning.

I thought infrastructure was Bannon's big play to usher in a thousand years of nationalist darkness? I guess with all the internal strife consuming everyone's time and putting him on thin ice there's no way to move forward.

I guess with all the internal strife consuming everyone's time and putting him on thin ice there's no way to move forward. Pretty much everyone called right off the bat that Bannon's dream of a sweeping infrastructure plan was DOA. The big worry was that Trump would successfully pass a huge private-industry capture measure (toll roads, etc) and call it an infrastructure plan and that would be enough, but he's struggling with keeping that idea in his head, too.

With last night's UK election (I know it's not directly related to us, but it still shows the current zeitgeist) and Ossof's widening lead, what are the expected reactions of R's later this month when the coming tide possibly becomes even more apparent? Are we going to start having reporters ask reps to go on record as endorsing the Trump presidency so far?

You're more likely to see an intensifying effort to pass as many voter-suppression measures as possible in addition to every R politician nontupling down on their previous positions. They're not going to back away from Trump under any circumstance. They're in too deep.

Evilweasel is right, and if the case winds up being litigated it's going to be you, not whatever paralegal, explaining why you thought those words were good enough to put your name to.

They'll publicly be in denial, but in private they'll increase voter suppression and propaganda. Don't read too much into the UK election. The same people who screamed about the failure of Democrats for "just" making their losing margin smaller are applauding labor for doing the same. Right now everyone is just projecting their own ideology on to the results. Xae fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Jun 9, 2017 |

It's more about professionalism. If I am talking to a client I am not going to drop a F bomb. I don't even curse at work. It's just a quick way of being seen as "the cool kid" or whatever. She has been a blue dog for a while and now after Bernie has shifted to liberal progressiveness. It's just pandering.

I'm beginning to think that the Russians have dossiers on many key if not most Republican lawmakers and are using that dirt to force them to do everything they can to keep Trump in power. Because honestly I don't see why they would tie themselves so tightly to the golden orange boat anchor tweeting from the oval office. Pence would more than serve their purposes in fact from the point of view of the GOP he'd be preferable as I suspect that he can actually be coherent at times and shut up when needed. I blame the Democrats who decided to not take down the GOP over Iran/Contra. If they had done their duty then the Republican party of today wouldn't be the bunch of lunatic traitors of today.

Hollismason posted:Yeah, I kind of feel Gillibrand is torpedoing any chance of a 2020 run with all the weird F Bomb stuff. I would have agreed with you a year ago. In the age of Trump, I think its helpful to be genuine and passionate, and the voters obviously don't give even the slightest poo poo about being vulgar if they can vote for Trump. Hillary literally ran a "Trump drops the F-bomb publicly OMG!" commercial a ton of times, and it may have actually helped Trump. Gillibrand probably shouldn't do it in Iowa because we have a weird "Iowa nice" thing, but aside from that, it could work out.

I'd be more likely to back a firebrand dem willing to be crass to make a point (backed up with sound reason and facts) If anything the right has shown that raw emotional appeal is a huge selling point, and backing that with real world poo poo should lend some more value.

Xae posted:They'll publicly be in denial, but in private they'll increase voter suppression and propaganda. That's not really a fair comparison. Labour was supposed to be gone by the time this election was over. Instead they've gained the biggest vote share in eighty years and the woman who originally planned for this to be her moment ascendant has the entire world hounding her for her resignation. It's a bit more dramatic than a single district election closing the gap by a few points.
