I get vaguely infuriated when I read your post because it's apparently working pretty well.

To be fair, it's only though sheer force of will that anyone has hope for the future in the face of all the poo poo that is happening. It's the first step on the road to disappointment, yes, but the alternative is basically throwing your humanity out the window

The best part is that it's pretty much 100% republicans, isn't it? Like, they're doing everything they can to make the score as good as it can possibly be, and it's still as bad as it's been.

That's amazing. Theresa May barely beat Corbyn with the full backing of the media, and now that she's viewed as a pathetic failure Trump thinks she's going to be able to gild that turd.

I understand that this admin is incredibly petty, but hitting back at someone who hasn't been in the running since the primaries is pretty weird. It would be like if someone decided to attack Rubio because he ran for president

Rigel posted:Sandoval is extremely popular in Nevada and pretty much Trump-proof. He's so popular that Heller feels his best shot at winning re-election is to do whatever Sandoval wants, even if it means opposing Trump. Most of the opposition to Trump in the Republican Party seems to come from the West, such as it is. It probably has a lot to do with how Trump's numbers fell across the West, even in states that are generally considered to be conservative. The people there, even conservatives, are mostly deaf to Trump's appeal, because Trump's appeal isn't political...it is ethnic, and the ethnic group he appeals to are Eastern Americans.

Assuming FBI investigations are politically motivated when they target people we like and heroic defenses of the republic when they target people we don't like seems like a problem. 2. He's still behaving as if he intends to run again, though he may just like the attention and want to preserve his power base to act as a kingmaker.

That kind of what I mean, I will admit that I was never a fan of Sanders but throwing down against his wife for political gain seems more conspiracy theory than normal. But then again, what the hell is even real anymore.

The Director was appointed by the Budget Committees in 2015, which were GOP-dominated, but even in its current state the CBO is something resembling nonpartisan. More importantly, it's fairly transparent in how it arrives at its conclusions. Traditionally representatives have had some success in pressuring them to provide revised estimates with different assumptions (prefaced with "we don't agree with these assumptions, but"), but I don't think that's viable for reconciliation bills and/or Team Evil may not be competent enough or have a good enough relationship with the CBO to do as much of that anymore.

The only way you'll identify someone as an air marshal is if A) they gently caress up their job or B) they need to do the important part of it.

Coulter's been pretty widely exposed as a fraud for well over a decade, with friends and probably even lovers who are liberals, but she's still a loving terrible person for duping her fanbase into believing the poo poo she's selling. People like her laid the groundwork for where we are.

If people are dumb enough to buy her poo poo I applaud her shtick. If you hate what she has to say, then why in every living gently caress are you watching/ clicking/ reading her loving vile poo poo? I honestly have no idea what she's been up to since the early bush years because I ignore her.
