Imagine my shock. They run these quacks and then feel entitled to votes just because they have a (G) next to their time. Expect better candidates.

Reminds me of that one cop who grabbed his personal AK-47 out of his trunk for a totally routine traffic stop that ended in someone dead. If it's any consolation a light reading sounds like they are nailing the guy

What has me worried about Trump is that he seems unlikely to hit the same problem as W. Bush II was all kinds of evil, but he pretended not to be on matters of immigration and tolerance of muslims. Those were two things that annoyed what became Trump's base, and I think that had a lot to do with his approval eventually going down after his failed attempt at immigration reform. I'm not sure what it would take to shake members of the modern GOP free of the Trump cult. Less ideological Independents would probably be the big variable. They seemed to back Trump because they weren't paying attention and saw him as an outsider. They could be reasonably expected to flip the other way if things get bad, and that group could make the difference in a number of races. I'm not going to lie, with the courts lost to us and geography working against the Democrats we're probably going to have to rely on other avenues to promote a progressive agenda. It's not necessarily hopeless, especially if we can rebuild some influence at the state level and get a bit of luck in bucking the GOP's advantages in congress and legislatures. We're going to have to rebuild institutional knowledge from the ground up, and that can be accomplished through state agencies and promoting public universities. Retaking governor seats in the Midwest would be a big deal in arresting that region's decline and rebuilding party infrastructure for 2020.

Aeka 2.0 posted:Ugh. I have a friend that is hoping this tax plan passes. He works for a company that will see 750k more. He thinks he will get a bonus. There is also profit sharing. Would you even get any of that on a profit sharing? He also only saw how good his personal taxes would be for the first year. Profit sharing as an employment bonus usually means operational profit which is to say in simple terms: the revenue from the sale minus the cost of what it took to make the sale happen. The 750k tax break don't figure in, that comes later and is when the company finds itself with a larger net profit (actual money left over after all business obligations) that the company can then do whatever it wants with. He wouldn't see a dime of it, unless you wanted to subscribe to a supply-side argument that the company grows faster with the extra 750k and can do more business down the road and then he'll see more profit sharing $$ in his check.

If we’re saying what should be the person of the year just to piss Trump off they should make it Hillary Clinton, hands down. It’s simultaneously guaranteed to piss him off and a plausible answer to the question.

TheMadMilkman posted:Prior to the 2016 election, I considered switching from Democrat to Independent because I was unhappy with the direction that party was headed. I still would have voted straight D, even if doing so is a throwaway vote here in suburban Utah. I had the same thoughts, I heavily considered switching from Democrat to Independent before the 2016 election. I decided to remain Democrat when I realized I didn't want to jeopardize my ability to caucus. To anyone else considering leaving the Democrats, don't forget that being able to caucus can make a difference.

Hey speaking of McDonalds does anyone know IF Trump has been paying the White House bills? He needs to pay out of his own pocket for food and such, I'm just wondering if he's actually been paying or if that money is coming out of his reelection fund or if the RNC is paying "somehow" or what. I haven't seen a twitter meltdown about it so I'm assuming he's just not paying.

Since the last winning presidential campaign was basically "trigger the libs", the correct pick for 2017 person of the year is definitely Kaepernick. No other person has pissed off conservatives more this year, plus giving him a bigger platform would be cool and good.
