Side note: There’s a very good show on Showtime (Showtime? Yeah) called The Fourth Estate about the New York Times’ struggle to cover the Trump administration amid open animosity from the White House and the right as a whole, financial difficulties and just really fucking weird/crazy news non-stop.
Good, compelling show. Just learned about its existence. |
^^too long to quote your post and im typing on a phone but i wasnt having a debate with you 2 years ago, i was replying to evolloves idea that "dems need to vote" -- it's a simple sentence but the concept of "dems" is complex as fuck. A case of grammar obscuring reality. Ok!
Eta: also, suchbongs was never a "democrat" in the first place. As a theocrat, he always only impersonated a voter. |

The thing that gets me day in and day out is.....WHERE IS THE FUCKING OUTRAGE? Schumer is just too nice. Every single day Team Trump is lying and tripping over itself, and where are the Dems? |

I was just saying, this sounds like what we were saying after Trump got elected. Not beefin, just making an observation. We good? Also, yeah about SFAD, but either way... dude shoulda voted. Not voting was not an answer. |
Quote:
I hear ya. All that talk of not normalizing, and the Capital Hill Dems pretty much did exactly that. |
They should be doing everything in their power to STOP the next SCOTUS nominee prior to Nov elections. McConnell cannot have it both ways.
|
Democrats Are Going To Be Pissed......does she plan to spend 2 Billion in 2020?
|
There is NO FUCKING WAY that she will run again, and New York Post is .......what exactly is it?
Edit: "In 2017, the New York Post was reported to be the preferred newspaper of U.S. President Donald Trump,[79][80] who maintains frequent contact with its owner, Rupert Murdoch.[80] " LOL. |

that's one we likely won't win, we can hope for some fatal illnesses in Alito, Roberts, Thomas, though. Roberts already had a pretty significant health scare. http://content.time.com/time/nation/...648384,00.html |

I agree fighting nom is a losing battle. And yet... I'm headed to Sen Rob Portman's office on Tuesday. I kinda have to. I mean, I won't face a fine or anything, but it would be bad form. I REALLY don't want to. I have better things to do. Better things to protest actually. It's pointless. But I have to. But it's pointless. But...etc Gets worse. I need a letter. I'm suppose to deliver a letter to him re: SCOTUS nom. No idea what to say. None. Ideas? Someone do my homework. |

but you know, the battle of stalingrad took like 2.5 million deaths and it turned hitler back this is clearly a metaphor all im saying is it’s gonna take a shittttttttttttttton of individual efforts to add up to a victory, and even then who knows, because i’m not sure yet what’s the strategy and im absolutely not saying “give up and die”. i’m just vaccinating against the inevitable frustrations ahead. |

i’ll play gimme some background — PM preferrable to avoid googability but whatever works for you |
Yeah, I just think the Lay Down And Die attitude of the current Dems leadership, even if they feel Team Trump will get their way anyway, is no way to breath life into The Cause.
FIGHT!!! McConnell is clearly one of the worst human beings ever. |

Oh, I don't care who knows, as far as I'm concerned. Trump will announce SCOTUS nom tonight. Tomorrow, a bunch of people will go to Senator Rob Portman's (R) office to protest. That's it. (But protest who? Why?) I guess when you go to any Senator's office, they make you fill out a form about why you're there. Instead, we're all supposed to deliver a letter. "Don't rubber stamp the nom" should be the main thrust of the letter, I guess. I don't know. Feels pointless. Can't generate any enthusiasm for this. |
yeah that’s often the price of being a foot soldier i these wars. you’re sent on absurd missions. but remember stalingrad.
anyway i saw the guy’s website. i’d say appeal to his conservative principles in your letter. |
Quote:
Will do. Of course, it might get called off. Trump could nominate a sensible moderate with a long history of fighting for just causes, right? Right? |

It’s the NY Post. Grain of salt. |
I know Peltor will be pissed at us for dismissing that "story" right off the bat because it is NY Post. But holy fuck, just look at that rag. How can seemingly intelligent people quote anything from it? This is what baffles me the most in these Trumpy Times. Can't people see really bad/false journalism when it hits them on the head?

Absolutely, grain of salt everything......or as Dead-Air aka Ricardo Wang often says on his radio show, “always use discretion.” Not long after Hillary lost her bid for President, many speculated CNN would give her a weekly talk show. It would keep her relevant and on voters minds until she announced she was running in 2020. Instead, she ended up in another country speaking to a room full of muslims, telling them how she lost because many American women aren’t allowed to think and vote for themselves......instead they are stuck doing their husbands bidding. I believe this was the last we heard from Hillary regarding the election. Our buddy Skuj is often clamoring about the Dems and why no one is stepping up. Far as I can tell, they have no current front runner......possibly Bernie? I sure hope it’s someone other than bitter Hillary! |
Quote:
Why would I be pissed? I could care less......other than I would rather see anyone but Hillary run in 2020. I don’t read The Post, I shared the story because it held the top spot at Drudge this weekend and I thought it could possibly lead to discussion. However, I wasn’t surprised at all by your quick dismissal as it’s what you regularly do here: Hanity Talking Points, Fox News, Trump Tweets. |
Peltor, I will send you $100US if Clinton announces she is running again, ok?
Will you send me anything if she doesn't? (And, I agree with Clinton on what many women did!!) (I also agree with you on one point - ie who do the Dems have? It's summer 2018 for fuck sake!!) |
Quote:
also... i believe hilary could try to run again i dont think she should though... but she could... |
I read What Happened. There is no fucking way. I'm betting $100US on it.
The right wing media brings up this shit every now and then to deflect. We'll still be hearing about her emails and her running again in 2023. |
Quote:
yes... for the right, she’s the gift that keeps on giving but... i don’t need to read a book to know “what happened”. i know what happened... i saw her give speeches. but what if she decides to give it another go? here’s to elizabeth warren in 2020... interesting to see if bytor matches your bet ha ha ha. i think he might... |

“In the poker game of life, it’s wrong to let a sucker keep his money!” Symbols is correct, I have a little gamble in me and I do enjoy a good wager. One only needs to look at the title of this thread to realize ANYTHING is possible! No doubt Hillary has fanatical followers, they however in no way are representative of the Democratic Party. Obama came out of no where to beat her ten years ago......then a successful businessman turned gameshow host who doesn’t know how to be a politician beat her two years ago. At this point, I would think Chelsea would garner more support than her mother. All this being said, give me a few days to research and we might have some sort of wager : ) |
Quote:
i supported obama and was against her because i don’t like political dynasties like the bushes (though bush 2 now looks like a sage by comparison) in 2016 i had no choice but she was not my first choice— wish biden had gone for it. but please no more hilary. please no more. please no more. don’t wanna read “what happened 2” either. let someone else run. let her leave just like messi and ronaldo left the world cup :D |
She fucking won't. I'm so sure about it that I told Peltor I will send him $100 if she does. He doesn't even have to research/accept/counter. He can just sit there. I made my statement of intent.
She fucking said as much, and I don't believe that she will change her mind. (I must be the only person here who thought she would have been a good POTUS.) |
she could have been good yeah. better than the current antichrist. coulda woulda shoulda: was gonna.
she was a terrible candidate though: anticharisma and a dull campaign. convoluted speeches and muddled message. “despicables” a huge pr boner (see romneys “47%”). the dnc conspiring for her did not help. ayayay. tim kaine her jabroni. zzzzzzz. warren/someone 2020 please |
ugh, kavanaugh...

Kavanaugh is actually a straight-shooter. Not much to complain about here, folks. Not bad at all. Whew! |

This is definitely sarcastic. Also, “straight-shooter” is politispeak for “evil but it’s not like I’m gonna say ‘evil.’” |
No, Kavenaugh isn’t a reasonable jurist. He wouldn’t be on that list if he were
In E.M.E. Homer City Generation v. Environmental Protection Agency, he wrote a majority opinion for the D.C. Circuit Court striking down a federal program to regulate air pollution that crossed state boundaries. The Supreme Court later took up the case and overruled him 6-2, with Justice Kennedy and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. voting to uphold the pollution rule |
Quote:
He worked with Kenneth Star for fuck’s sake, then went on to take a stand against sitting presidents having to answer to legal matters while in office. Seriously, why is the internet hot broken? How are we keeping it together? |
i need to get back to putin’s pr cup or i wil go mad ha ha ha
see you after sunday |
what Sev said
and, here's some info then: "Brett Kavanaugh wanted to ask Bill Clinton, under oath, about the specific places he ejaculated onto" https://www.thewrap.com/trump-scotus...nica-lewinsky/ now: "BRETT KAVANAUGH: TRUMP'S SUPREME COURT PICK THINKS PRESIDENTS SHOULD BE IMMUNE FROM CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION" http://www.newsweek.com/brett-kavana...immune-1015521 p'raps this is a PARTISAN pov? |
