corn in the bible posted:haha remember when dems owned both houses and the presidency and couldnt even pass a health care bill without gutting it Dems never really had both houses, they had 51 (Lieberman counting) with Ted Kennedy dying while the vote was being taken. His replacement voted yes on the Senate bill, got removed in the special election by a Republican. So they basically had to run with the already voted Senate version in the House as there was zero chance in getting it through otherwise.

corn in the bible posted:you're an idiot then They've had to get a case that fits the category through the courts in order to overturn it. Going against precedent like that is pretty rare and it would also completely gently caress up marriage licenses as a whole cause you'd then have to deal with grandfathered in marriages from 2015->whenever it gets overturned. SCOTUS really isn't going to want to deal with that.

I mean good god, where do you find these chucklefucks. Even the epitome of the Rise of the Common Man, good ol' Jackson had less of a clusterfuck thus far.

cult member at airport posted:Actually, there might actually be some merit to that. Instead of making equivalent fake news for liberals, people on the left should start making their own conservative fake news. Inundate the market with claims ranging from believable to outright nonsense. Create so much noise that it's impossible to tell whether ChristianFreedomNews.org or CrookedDNCLeaks.biz are legitimate fake news sites or not. Get them arguing with eachother over which fake news is real and which isn't. While you're at it, donate some of the money you make from their pageviews to progressive causes.

In 12 goddamn days he's named an actual goddamn white supremacist as his chief advisor, named an actual goddamn racist as AG, named a lunatic as national security advisor, publicly threatened the NY Times, publicly threatened SNL, publicly threatened the cast of a musical, settled a massive fraud suit, then bragged about it on Twitter, held shady meetings with foreign officials in Trump hotels, violated norms for press access, refused to categorically rule out a registry for Muslims, and a bunch of other poo poo I'm probably forgetting about. And this is when he's in his most magnanimous. Trump is going to bulldoze this goddamn country.

Bullfrog posted:I'm skeptical of the vote audit thing, but the idea of an election hack sends a chill down my spine. It would be a different world. The move to go to electronic voting is really just the dumbest considering the only country to really use it on a massive scale is India (a paragon of anticorruption, to be sure). Everybody else rolled it out in limited amounts, found they couldn't secure it, and then got rid of it. Mind you, the reason W. got the presidency was mainly because Sandra Day O'Connor made had no qualms about ruling in a case involving a family she had a long and substantial friendship with.

It's just a politically stupid move and it doesn't surpise me Jill Stein is involved. Tbh it seems more like rear end covering should faithless electors actually influence the election (they won't)

Lead out in cuffs posted:I've actually been reading a book about the rise and fall of Detroit, and looking around a bit at stats, and those towns all peaked in the 1940s during WWII. Both manufacturing jobs and population have been in steady decline ever since. Half the reason why Oregon has so few minorities is because the town that housed them during shipbuilding in WW2 literally got flooded by the state after the war, leaving thousands homeless. People promptly bugged the gently caress out after that.

Trabisnikof posted:If we economically embargoed any other Caribbean like we did Cuba, then created special immigration law for refugees who float to America from there I bet people would try. Ideology aside. We essentially did the same thing for Haiti but over a longer time period of the West just pissing on them for having the only successful slave rebellion (and slaughtering any remaining French civillians on the island after they won). The French sitting a fleet off the coast and demanding slave reparations to be paid to them took literally over a century for Haiti to pay off. Then we invaded and ran Haiti for a couple decades. Small wonder Haiti is basically the disaster zone of the Western Hemisphere. Papa Doc and Baby Doc didn't do them any favors but still.
