Solaris 2.0 posted:Yea I don't really care what Obama should or shouldn't have done because, last I checked, he isn't President. Nailed to the wall to appeal to who, though? Trump voters LOVE that he is sabotaging anything and everything President Chocolate Thunder did. They literally give zero shits if it harms them. I unfortunately have to deal with CHUDs on a semi-frequent basis, and every time I'm blown away. The notion that you'll convince a Trump voter that the white man who says all the things they've probably literally prayed for their President to say, President Donald J. Trump, made anything Barack Hussein Obama did worse is just outright laughable. These people don't care. It's not about policy for them.

i mean, the reason abortion comes up so often is that it is actually a coherent position if you accept its batshit premises "if" lefties are actually murdering babies every day of the year then of course it's justified to engage in outright warfare against them. the thing, of course, is no one ever actually truly believes in this premise. Even people that claim to completely believe that a fetus is of equal moral worth to an infant don't behave as though that's truly the case.

Honestly if a white guy that's under the age of 45 says that he's really against abortion, I assume it's a white supremacy smoke screen by this point

Helith posted:The bit I find interesting is how he thinks Tucker and Hannity present news segments, that they are news readers, rather than being hosts of opinion shows. If it weren’t for lawyers finding a quasi-legal way to present opinions as facts, Fox News wouldn’t exist as we know it today. Every thing that Fox reports is a falsehood dressed up as a fact, which is why they do so well with the dumbest people. It’s like the politicians who claim to believe in the Q conspiracy or Nigerian-style scam emails that are chock full of grammatical and spelling errors; they’re looking for idiots who self-select as perfect grifting targets and are armed and ready to believe their bullshit (and more importantly, ready to throw gobs of money at it).

evilweasel posted:because there are profound shifts going on in the house republican caucus and differentiating between republicans in trying to understand the effects is useful Maybe it’s less of a continuous variable and more of a categorical one? Like snack foods. Jeff sessions is a Triscuit - A stale old hard flavorless cracker but tough - never giving up its integrity of shittyness. Consistent. You know what youre getting when you crack this sucker open. Then you take your run-of-the-mill cracker like oh say Mark Meadows. He’s a plain saltine - textbook. Crumbles under pressure , bland and completely unremarkable in every other way. I’m not even thinking of the right person right now. George W. Bush is one of those fancy salt water crackers you put with brie but inexplicably in Doritos style packaging. Nobody walks away happy from this purchase. Ted Cruz is an Almond joy. You loving know it’s going to suck when you open it up. With half of the loving thing in your mouth your mind is reeling. There’s no almond. And this is not Joy but great confusion and deep concern. What have you put into yourself?

From an article on Trump's Veterans Day speech : "Mr. Trump helped boost the parade in 1995 when it was struggling to attract donations, writing a check for over $300,000. In return, he asked to be made the grand marshal, an honor he was not bestowed because he never served in the military." He really can't do one loving decent thing. It's incredible. Every decent act, instantly ruined by his disgusting pride. And also hysterical how bad he is at all of it.

CubanMissile posted:I don’t think I’ve ever seen a non-boomer eat one. Almond joys are delicious and do not deserve to be tarred with the boomer brush. Peter King Pioneered the Persecution of American Muslims Shameful that this is the man Chuck Schumer wants to pay tribute to: quote:King encouraged law enforcement spying in mosques, an invasion that no religious group in America would ever tolerate, when he wasn’t complaining that America hosted too mosques in the first place. He fanned the flames of anti-Muslim hysteria over an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero. With a chairman’s gavel in his hand, King legitimized anti-Muslim persecution by holding a series of hearings resting on the bigoted and false premise that American Muslims were insufficiently committed to thwarting terrorism. (One 2011 study found that more than 20 percent of federal cases targeting Islamist terrorism began with tips from Muslims or with the cooperation of suspects’ relatives.)

I'm in Pete King's district, and the best thing I can say about him is that he's not our neighboring house member, Lee Zeldin. Somewhat disappointed I don't get to vote against him again, glad he's going away. Someone before was talking about how he loves the IRA and has a double standard with other groups. This is my dad. He's from Dublin and has this huge complex where one time I called the IRA terrorists in his presence, he was instantly scandalized and got red and yelled at me never to talk that way about the IRA again, they're our friends. Otherwise he's a "shy"chud in that he can agree with me while talking politics, then complain I'm too good at it and say his friend back in the old country recommended this really good book on how Muslims are taking over London.

If I understand correctly (and since it's me, take it with a grain of salt): Kuppermann's lawyer didn't want him joining because of Mulvaney's press conference last month, because by giving the press conference Mulvaney had already voided whatever fictional privilege he might have been able to claim; since there's no such thing as partial privilege, Kuppermann's lawyer claims, by giving some information out voluntarily, Mulvaney can no longer exercise privilege to avoid talking about the rest of it. And Bolton and Kuppermann don't want to be standing there next to a guy they know will have to testify if called. (A charitable interpretation says that they want the ruling to be generally binding and not a special-occasion this-doesn't-set-a-precedent ruling.)

Bolton and kupperman don’t want mulvaney in their lawsuit because he’s one of the primary criminals and they don’t want to be associated with him.

Someone else noted before in this thread they have family who would literally vote Hitler if it meant ending abortion. I, too, had a family member like this. (Had. Uncle. Lung Cancer.) And yeah, it's literally "Salt the Earth". As he choked to death on his lung cancer at our last reunion two years ago, he made it perfectly clear that literally ANYTHING was acceptable as long as it was for team GOP. It wasn't so much support for anti-abortion or religious reasons or whatever. It was an excuse to vote against the weird people who made him uncomfortable as a 60-something white man. Even when the policies directly hurt him (like slashing ACA Medicaid funding while he is dying of cancer and also is broke and on disability and Medicaid), because those policies were supported by the "weirdos" and their "Communism". (But it's okay if he uses them because "reasons") He was a paper-thin "I'm not racist but..." type and he literally argued against policies that would help him and his children until his literal death. Because "Welfare Queens" and what not. Twibbit posted:I eat them constantly and I am a full Millennial. Mounds is better.
