    This is good 

     

    Ok, so its better, but I'd say that's not "good."

    Only 57% of people who identify as "strong dems" are more motivated now to vote than they were prior to this fucking shit show?

    We don't even need to get to the roads. How do you propose the government would "protect liberty" without taxation? Is there a large group of people who are yearning to work for the government for free?

    Automated freedom compliance officers.

  3. Weird how when the government let the free-market run itself without regulation and oversight, we had a retail economy built on sweatshops and child labor, companies refusing to offer goods and services to people based on their skin color, and free-reign to pollute and destroy the environment (which they happily did because it was cheaper.)

    Sound like a real bang-up model you got there chief!

    I haven’t kept up with the American flag outrages. Where is it illegal to fly the flag that he wanted to address?

    I cant find anything. I do see he sponsored a bill to require federal agencies only purchase American flags that are made in the US.

    If saying “get over it” with no context is substantial evidence then I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. Mulvaney also said the aid was held up while the president was considering the corruption in Ukraine, whether or not other countries were providing aid, and the status of an ongoing investigation with our DOJ.

    Show your work where the POTUS admitted to holding up aid because of an investigation into Biden’s son. 

    There is no evidence or facts to support any wrongdoing without twisting and manipulating the words of people that weren’t even on the call that was the basis for all of this. Hell one of the supposed fact witnesses provided and interviewed by the democrat IC admitted in his testimony that his statement was speculation or presumption.

    You can be damn sure that in any criminal trial, a defendant being confronted with specific accusations and saying "get over it," is going to come in as evidence. Its evidence of guilt. And any prosecutor worth a shit is going to hammer that line repeatedly to the jury.  

    I wont even bother responding to the rest of your post because you are intentionally distorting the truth.

    They should have issued(and not dropped ones they did issue) subpoenas and enforced them through the judicial system.

    They have no enforcement ability at this point.  They willingly gave it up.

      

    Lol. The obstruction of justice is the Dems fault for not trying harder to prevent justice from being obstructed.

     

    That's gold.

  8. Saw this on twitter today and thought it relevant. I guess I always assumed that the GOP would continue to subvert democracy and load the courts in an attempt to hold onto power until the demographics are just impossible to overcome. It never occurred to me that the younger generations - who skew overwhelmingly left - would latch onto the toxic, ethno-nationalism that represents a growing part of the party. Guess I was wrong. Here's an article about the college republican group at the University of Maine. They have overwhelmingly rejected the "softer" side of conservatism for white nationalism.

    and a 2017 article from Alex Pareene that details what the future GOP will look like

    Virginia is debating a large gun control bill that involves mandatory registration. It is not universally liked.

    Interesting in a way. It's like the inverse of the immigration sanctuary cities. In those cases, local law enforcement are refusing to enforce federal law. Here, local law enforcement is refusing to follow local law, so the gov may call in the National Guard.

    I will quote Jerald Nadler   

    "....OnThisDay in 1998,

    @RepJerryNadler said "this partisan coup d'etat will go down in infamy in the history of this nation."

    Yeah, I'd say that impeachment is viewed as a partisan hit job. Maybe Trump's will too. I doubt it though based on the views of the American people. Also, conduct is nowhere near similar, but whatever. You know Nixon's defenders were saying the same thing, right? 

     

    How's history been to tricky Dick?

    Harrell has to be an idiot. Dude signed for a little over 1 million to live in LA. Even if he didn't want to come to Texas he could have used it to get a much larger contract. 1 million in LA is meh. 

    No. It's not.

     California=how government would run if Hugo, Dennison, Jimmy James, and the rest of the Borg on here were running it.

     

    Or, kinda like how the nation's entire economic model used to be before shareholders and corporate profits became the only thing that mattered, and corporations spent the next three decades cutting every corner at the expense of the middle and lower class?

    Is anyone from the history or sociology department currently doing a case study on Belmont? Because you could get a modern day look into the mentality and function of the German High Command in 1944.
