Is this sort of an attempt at death by a thousand paper cuts sort of deal? Where regardless of the inanity of it such as "Trump loves burnt steak with ketchup." "These tax returns don't have anything extremely shady, just kinda scummy." they'll post it in an attempt to turn Trump insane? They may have more, or the push may be to use their reaction to this wet fart to force them to release more. In terms of "2005 was so mundane what do you have to hide with the rest?" Or the double whammy, they do have more to release, but they're gonna give donnie a public chance to release them first.

VikingSkull posted:Maybe, and this is crazy, that's because a majority of people in the US are center or right leaning? I mean, it can't be that, can it? I think half of Americans are t voting because neither right wing authoritarianism or centrist dogma speaks to them. You have a whole group of people who are not counted as likely voters in polls because they don't see either party offering anything they want. Dems would have a chance if they stopped alienating people with anti-gun rhetoric and militant PC ism and shifted more left policy wise.

Of course, the fact there was a whole lot of Trump information taken as well sort of undermines that line of thought. Hot take: Bannon doesn't care about Trump, he cares about power and using it to cause chaos to his advantage.

But has there been a single state where this is already a thing, where the money saved outweighs the cost to implement the program? Guess it doesn't matter though so long as it lets them continue to perceive all poors and minorities as lazy addicts and welfare queens. It's more about funneling state money to drug testing corporations than it is about preventing crack addicts from getting money.

Especially among voters under 30 you need progressive policies to build any enthusiasm.

I think some of them might be in a hurry to vote no so they can... something... make fun of Trump and not lose their seats? I'm feeling like a lot of purple state house seats are gonna flip and a lot of centrist dems are gearing up for a hard primary fight for being too spineless. The Freedom caucus and the Tea Party seem to just wanna try to exalt in the chaos in the meantime, but they don't seem to have an actionable plan.

The reasonable "republicans" who are backed in a corner would probably vote a progressive D if it weren't for gun control. personal freedom and your right to own a gun are easily sold as progressive values, especially at a national level. Just like pro choice means that someone against aborbtion can try to convince you not to do it but can't legally stop you, the same argument applies to buying guns. There are a dozen more ways to attack the problem and being more progressive means you can advocate better mental health as a fairer and more beneficial solution. Godholio, I have to disagree with what seems to be your position that being more centrist and non comital will motivate anyone, either left or rational republican, to vote. E; and in current events I just saw a VW commercial staring a couple banging in every different car model as their family grew. It was a good commercial and I can only imagine the small subset of religious hardliners who will object to it.

If Republicans want him bad enough, they'll change the rules, just like they would the next guy and anyone else they get to nominate. Yeah, either they get Gorusch through by "compromise" and next time the republicans revoke the filibuster or they revoke the filibuster this time and next time is no different. Either way time is the enemy, the sooner you can demonstrate how horrible the tea party and freedom caucus are for democracy to the majority of Americans the sooner the political landscape will shift.

Also if the 2 a month production rate has been maintained Norks have 40+ warheads now, who's excited for "sustained nuclear conflict" meaning more than a week and then fallout all over the pacific and America thanks to the jet stream.

No one stands a chance in conventional engagement, but being the underdog means they can threaten nuclear deployment and not be any worse off in conflict than they already would be. The deterrent in this case is still a lose lose for them, but now at least they can make it visibly too costly for America to strike in the first place. They've already shown large scale cooperation and smuggling between themselves and the DPRK on military tech.
