Why are you nerds bringing up Sanders in the Trump thread?

That said, I hope the start dragging people into court for not answering questions. The buck has to stop somewhere.

More plastic surgery does not equal more attractive. Usually the opposite, in fact.
Not that it matters, she's a bad person, regardless of her appearance.
Guys who paid for the surgery and was probably VERY hands on with what changes were made? "Attractive" is subjective and guess who thinks she's VERY attractive?

While trying to wrap my mind around the sheer stupidity of 'protecting executive privilege', I came across this little gem:

http://www.heritage.org/the-constitution/commentary/executive-privilege-cant-shield-wrongdoing

The Freaking Heritage Foundation posted:

As Holder surely knew all these past months, there is no privilege that exists between Congress and the executive branch to withhold documents except the constitutional executive privilege, which is based on the separation of powers. For example, the attorney-client privilege does not exist between Congress and the executive branch because they have the same client – the American people. Holder also knew that executive privilege does not attach to documents automatically. It can be asserted only by the president or with his direct approval. It can be waived; indeed it should be waived in many or most instances when Congress needs the information for its legislative functions. So the slated House committee vote to hold Holder in contempt on Wednesday was unfortunately necessary to get him to at least reconsider his lawless course of stonewalling.

I mean, if the Heritage Foundation says it, it must be followed to the letter, right?

That district is in a part of Texas where having friends of a different race is still a brave social stand.

I poo poo you not I was about to type "well Texas elected Ted Cruz and I've lived there for awhile, most of the people seem pretty nice." But of course, I now learn that Gohmert is a rep from Texas. There perhaps lies your answer.

Looks like he's east Texas, which is known primarily for being policed by literal highwaymen that prey on minorities. It's not really the cowboy part of Texas, there are no major cities out there, and it's basically an extension of the South and all of the baggage that comes with that. Think Confederate flag waving racists.

I was hoping that the Labour victory might wake some Democrats up in the same way that Trump helped labor but my heart is already dead

:ohdear:

Exactly how big was the size of the Labour "victory" compared to the size of Macrons victory in France? Also, why does only one of these two things require quotation marks to be called a victory?

If you want to say that Labour not losing by as much as they thought is something Dems need to notice, why is La Republique En Marche and the Democratic Movement likely capturing more than 3/4ths of the seats in the French parliament something to ignore?
