    You know, I don''t believe Stone. I believe that the heavily armed Trump supporters are a bunch of wussies who don't love Trump as much as they love their lives and their families. 

     

    If only .05% of them would actually turn violent that'd still be a shitload of people.

    A bunch of us here have insisted for months that the Democrats could move the polls by leading with confidence, rather than waiting for polls to move on their own before acting.   This is nice to see. 

    Right? Fucking amazing that Dem leadership had to be dragged kicking and screaming to understand "hey, maybe if we actually act like all this criminal behavior is really bad instead of 'not impeachment-worthy' more people will support impeachment."

    It's even more brazen...they were arrested hours later with last minute one way international airplane tickets. 

    Pretty clear Rudy told them they needed to get the hell out of dodge city. Either to avoid prosecution or,  more likely to avoid their scheduled depositions on Capitol hill. 

    Stupid mafia moves from the guy who helped bring them down. 

    And if Rudy told them to GTFO, it was likely because Barr told him he needed to.

    When we stopped allowing fair and balanced reporting, we opened the doors to this shit. We fucked ourselves by allowing radicalization of our own with the CNNs and Foxs. We've dumbed ourselves down and don't use critical thinking because it is too hard. We are falling behind and in my lifetime, it seems like we will no longer be the leader of the free world. Sad but true. We have to build ourselves back up from here and quit being complacent boobs.

    Nobody has ever been radicalized by CNN.

    When the dust settles, if the dust settles, on all of this, I hope all of you remember that Russia was behind all of it.

    And that the GOP knew and were fully complicit.

  6. It would be very easy for the NBA to tell China to get fucked but it would have to be the NBA itself, representing all franchises, doing so. China will black out one team over shit like this, they're not going to black out the entire NBA.

  7. When paired with the withdrawal from the Open Skies Treaty, it is more than clear that Trump is compromised and Putin is cashing in his chips. These aren't just bad decisions, they're the acts of an agent of a hostile foreign power betraying our country. And the entire GOP knows but refuses to do anything, because they'd prefer to continue pretending otherwise than openly acknowledge that they're all complicit. They've betrayed their oaths of office and our country so they can stack the courts with judges who will decimate the modern administrative state and make abortion illegal (and for many of them an opportunity to get in on the graft).  At this point there is no other possible explanation for their behavior.

    Theres always a reason to stay. 

    How much longer should we stay with the Kurds? Haven’t they been an marginalized minority for decades? Centuries? So what’s the goal with regards to them, since you’re saying they’re the hang up?

    How much more money should we spend in Syria?

    How many American lives should we be ok losing or having permanently damaged through physical or mental trauma? 

     

    Maybe we shouldn't have convinced them to dismantle their defensive fortifications if we were about to up and leave them.  Trump is compromised and has left our best allies in the war on terror to get slaughtered.  You can have issues with how we wage that war, as we all fucking do, and still recognize that that is completely fucking inexcusable on every level. It's morally abhorrent and strategically disastrous.  But no, you obviously can't miss a single opportunity to bootlick. You're a piece of shit who supports a traitor and you will be for the rest of your miserable life.

    So for profit prisons = slavery?
    Or even worse?
    What say?? Thats fuckin crazy. People who have no idea what slavery was like making such statements is crazy. Yes owning innocent black people as pets and free labor is the same as some guy committing violent crimes and getting sent to a private prison. Hey whitey, you done swung too far the other way.
    Some small counties cant afford ro build large new state of the art jails so they use the private lock ups. Or the state doesnt want to build more prisons so private prisons get used.

    I agree there needs to be reform for nonviolent offenders but to blanket say get rid off all private prisons is way out there.
    This is what I mean when I say for every great thing AOC says there are 10 illogical ideas she supports.

    Imprisoning people shouldn’t be profitable because the fact that it is is why we shape policy to imprison so many people, most of whom are minorities.

    Wow, so cross the border and apply for welfare.
    Our population will explode quick.

    End of residential investment properties. No one is going to want them if they lose money under her crazy proposals.

    Just a couple of things from her proposals.

    Wow, now she wants to let everyone out of prisons.

     

    Real valuable contributions here. Thanks.

    Here’s the thing. He’s not just undermining our credibility under his administration. He’s also telling the world that even if they deal with a sane future POTUS, the American people can later put in another reality tv star and royally fuck them.

    Great job, Gary Johnson Voter.

    It will take multiple generations to repair the damage he's doing and that's if our next five presidents are all actually good at the job.

  12. It's so fucking annoying that the Dems can't even figure out how to message "he started a trade war with China, severely damaging the US steel and agricultural industries, in order to leverage the trade war to get them to do personal favors for him." The Dems are the goddamn Washington Generals.

    I don’t think she was a trumpy. Per people on twitter claiming to be smart she is part of LaRouche, which is a completely different brand of crazy. 

    Not really, a lot of LaRouchers are Trumpers now.

    I can not escape the thought that Hitler started out doing great things for his country and then somewhere along the way he got a little off track.  I wonder if Trump and his minions are capable of killing millions of people to get what he wants.

    What the fuck? The Reichstag fire was four goddamn weeks after Hitler became chancellor.

    Absolutely.  Normalization after the fact.  This is why its crucial the dems act quickly and decisively, before the public gets weary and numb.


    Edit: Traditional logic might be to react by letting him take more rope to hang himself with, but Trump is a very shrewd provocateur.  Traditional logic does not apply.

    Yeah, Pelosi and Schiff need to be holding daily press conferences explaining why Trump's conduct is so awful, otherwise swing voters won't even get it. A lot of people really need the full picture explained to them, over and over and over and over again, before they begin to see it. You're not going to convince his base, but the goal is to convince enough to support impeachment that the Republicans have only their base left supporting them and everyone else strongly opposed.

    "... in related news, Trump also shot a man on 5th Avenue this morning." 

    "It's fine! Would I be doing this out in the open in front of all of these cameras if it wasn't perfectly fine? Anyone who complains is a traitor!"

    I'd like to see proof that the White House actually got permission from Ukraine. I recall a remark from their President that he was surprised by the fact that his conversations had been released. 

    The crew that used to bitch about "bow and apologize" must be apoplectic now. Hey, @MixtyMotions, you're just furious about this, right?

    If you say that a lot, then you must have reasons for feeling that the Hispanic immigrants are superior—or at least preferable—to the white population in particular states. Wouldn’t those same reasons also apply to Texas?

    A good portion of east Texas maybe.
