    My aunt who has worked in Canada for 35 years and is retirement age now qualifies for only $450 a month in government retirement benefits while some undeducted Muslim migrant hostile to Western values are bilking the Canadian system for $1,500 a month in government handouts. Shit like that has Canadians rightfully bitching. This is the type of bullshit that out of touch progressives and holier than thous don’t get. The US and Canada can’t accomodate every unskilled, uneducated fool that wants to come here.

    Didn't we let you in?

    He will be ok with Nebraska republicans once the tariffs start fucking midwest farmers in earnest.  It is the one thing Trump can't blame Obama for that is also going to directly hurt a large chunk of his base.

    I dunno. Based on everything I'm seeing, I'm reasonably certain that Trump supporters would rather lose their job and house that have Democrats take power.

    as incredibly insightful as your posts have been demonstrated to be over the last few years, i am interested to know why you say this.

    Some time in the last year or so futureman went from a pretty good poster with funny quips, to this weird role as an intellectually superior contrarian.  Strangely, he seems to be most upset when people are criticizing Trump.

    Just get your party lines straight.   Is Trump the madter dictator seizing cotrol or is he alienating the government that would do his bidding?    The reactions from y'all are telling.  

     

    Decide the narrative and roll with it...

    Are you actually this obtuse in real life or is this just an internet persona thing?

    Can you imagine being mad that black athletes kneel for the National Anthem but not at this treasonous shitstain selling out America to Russia.

     

    Absolutely. I mean, if you're a racist that is.

    Hannity is going to spin the treason right out of Trump's press conference.  Trump literally has his own speech launderer network. 

    I mean, Trump talks to Hannity on the phone almost every day.

    I can't believe there are real people out there who still strongly support someone who is clearly a traitor.  And I've never voted for a Democrat in my life.

    No, no, no, don't you see?  They're not supporting Trump now. In fact, they're not even paying attention. They're just having fun looking at everyone getting so upset about something so trivial. Nevermind, they spent 8 years crying like toddlers over every single thing Obama did. Now? Not really paying attention/don't care/funny bc lib tears.

    Alienating our trading partners implied that. Trump is just unlikable but that doesn't mean that we will not prosper.

    Good luck with the trade wars.

    The fuck it wasn't.

    Hey, if you're a racist, own it.  Not my fault.  The leftist attitudes in our media and schools are FAR superior to whatever shit it is that FOX and DeVos are peddling, so again, own your unAmerican values.  You're the ones dragging it all down.

     

    What are you babbling about?  This is a prime example of my point.  If the left has any stones they'll do whatever they can to fuck with this nomination.  Will they succeed?  Hell no.  Fuck with it anyway. 

     

    Any time, my "friend".  Let me know when you're in town.

    Lol at trying to engage Slorch in a real discussion. Have you lost your mind?

    Yep.  From the same people who were pro trade and then immediately pro tarriffs, were pro western alliances and then immediately anti EU and Canada, were pro fiscal conservatism and deficit hawks and then immediately pro $2 trillion more in deficit spending, etc.

    Where's my boy Emmy at?

    I am friends two adopting families in my hood. One is a liberal lesbian couple and the other are liberal tech professionals. As far as I know neither couple is remotely religious. Anecdotal data is anecdotal data.

     

    What's really gonna blow Johnny's mind is when he learns there are liberals who are christian.

    “When someone’s arrested, they expect someone will notify federal immigration authorities just as they would expect someone who violates state tax law will find out that they notified the IRS,” the pollster said.

    People are under the impression that the local police look into whether you have violated federal tax law, and then report those findings to the IRS?

    What does overturning Roe look like?  Some 20 states have abortion restrictions that exceed Roe, but have survived challenges.  The counterpoint is that there are also dozens of laws that have been enjoined following Roe, so it isn't dead.

    I don't think there's going to be a landmark case that completely turns Roe on itself.  It'll be Roe becoming less and less relevant over time. 

    Well, it would look like the SCOTUS holding that the Constitution does not prohibit individual states from passing any laws they want relating to abortion. The holding would be followed by roughly 20 states immediately passing legislation banning all forms of abortion, and some even banning medication like the "day after pill."

    we had a strict conservative in scalia. i don't think we really know what gorsuch will do in the next ruling or 5 years from now. we always knew trump was getting 2-3 justices, because of scalia, and the general age of the justices.

    and i'm a weirdo, but i prefer a conservative supreme court. what i worry about is that pendulum swinging into a rubber stamp. i happen to hope that the justices on the surpreme court aren't overly activist, however, and i hope that decisions will continue to be balanced.

    a cynic is only a frustrated optimist, after all.

    So you have faith that Roberts will preserve Roe and progeny?  Bc they're gone otherwise.

    I guess the 50th post of the thread would be a good place to actually discuss the analysis of the decision, specifically the free speech issue.  To me, that's easily the most compelling rationale for the majority opinion in this case.

     

    ETA:  Bolverk mentioned this with the political contributions remark.  That's what I was referring to WRT the 1st Amendment.

    Is every expenditure speech? Serious question.

    I do not believe you should have to pay dues to a union you don't belong to, so I agree with this ruling. 

     

    As far as the existence of public sector unions, I support the right for workers to act in and advocate for their best interests. 

    And you agree that non-union members shouldn't be eligible to receive benefits negotiated by that union?
