Angry_Ed posted:Considering McConnell also went "Mr. President" I think it's the President of the Senate and not the POTUS, but perhaps his context is different from Flake's. it's both, i meant it's clear in context where flake is referring to trump

the talent deficit posted:no he's not. it's clear in context. i'm sure there'll be video everywhere all day. check it out He's talking about Trumpism and Trump in the speech, but the references to "mr president" are to the senate president. That's why he ended with "Mr President I yield the floor."

I applaud good actions even if they're from terrible people, because goddamn we really need some good actions from people with influence. I won't applaud the shitbag, but I will applaud the action. "Reckless, outrageous, and undignified behavior has become excused and countenanced as "telling it like it is," when it is actually just reckless, outrageous, and undignified."

So we've got McCain, Corker and Flake. If they teamed up with the 48 Democrats they could hold anything and everything hostage until we get hearings, investigations, probes, tax returns, anything. No tax reform without tax returns. No judicial nominations without a Russia investigation. I'm not going to hold my breath, nor am I going to give any credit until they do that.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:No one is going to impeach over "he's a dumb poopy doo doo liar". That is a thing that will get support when impeachment happens but impeachment won't happen until there is a specific concrete crime to make the trial about. Like once the actual investigations return results. Man, remember that time our president was impeached for lying about a blowjob?

"The notion that one should stay silent as the norms and values that keep America strong are undermined and as the alliances and agreements that ensure the stability of the entire world are routinely threatened by the level of thought that goes into 140 characters - the notion that one should say and do nothing in the face of such mercurial behavior is ahistoric and, I believe, profoundly misguided." EDIT: Trump and everyone who supports him and thinks like him needs to be gone. When that's done we can get back to the usual business of trying to reduce the power of everyday shithead Republicans. So steps toward the first goal are important.

theflyingorc posted:why does everyone in the thread feel that the most important thing is reminding everyone that Republicans are still bad when they go against Trump I'm already bitter ahead of time that these maverick senators, who have plenty of power at their disposal, will use none of it to actually do anything about Trump. Once there are actual results I'll be the first one to praise them. For now they're happy to just stand at a podium and go "oh it sure would be nice if someone did something", when their part of their job description is keeping the executive in check.

Your Taint posted:Trump will brag about this is what happens when you cross him or some poo poo like that. Is it "Condiv" that means irrational panicking? I feel like GOPes not running again means a crazier can take the seat and not a non regressive or Dem.
