  1. How are you imagining Trump not making it to Election Day ?
  2. I foresee many embarrassing events in UK near future. Boris said no UK intervention in Iran if the US does something. I can appreciate that sentiment from Boris. Of course that was before the Brits started losing tankers.
  3. Clickbait thread title. Lawyer defends his client for free and the frivolous complaint is withdrawn. The other recipients of complaints could also receive similar free services. The article is effectively a public shout out for the 14 potential clients to contact the author to receive free legal services. 1 potentially Canadian citizen attempting to abuse their legal system.
  4. They got it done and got the GOP on record.
  5. That is a very passive strategy. Maybe it works. But it isn’t a lasting strategy. There is no governing mandate from such a strategy. Democrats will find themselves completely lost if they eek out a 2020 victory with no clear direction of “not Trump”. Is there any research that shows strong disapproval ratings translate into higher voter turnout ?
  6. I don't think this is Fake News. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/aided-by-a-strong-economy-trump-approval-rises-but-a-majority-also-see-him-as-unpresidential/2019/07/04/c9c42c54-9d9f-11e9-b27f-ed2942f73d70_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.5c789188ae5e Its a single poll...its not the 538 average. I don't expect his approval numbers to start running higher....but they are definitely not falling either...regardless of how unpresidential he is.
  7. He has been upside down since his inauguration. No disputing that. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/ Should we then think that he can get reelected with these same approval #s? I hope he can't. But if he won 2016 with low approval numbers...his reelection seems very much possible.
  8. Pelosi needs to be working on getting a deal done the budget and debt ceiling. She needs a deal the more progressive side of the party can be happy with. Bloomberg Debt Ceiling
  9. It’s great that your friends have abandoned Trump. But polls suggest the opposite. In fact some polls are showing Trump with his highest approval ratings of his presidency. Some are attributing that to the continued positive economic performance inspire of the Trump Trade Wars.
  10. ^^ What makes you think Pelosi feels like she fucked up with AOC? I agree that both of them ran run in essentially separate lanes...for the most part. But AOC isn’t going away or going to stop unless she fails to get re-elected in 2020.
  11. It appears Pelosi has 2 tests coming up. Defense Authorization Bill. House version has language preventing Presidential unilateral war with Iran. Senate lacks that language. Will Pelosi prioritize that? Can she force the issue ? US Debt ceiling. Everyone knows it’s going to get raised. Some members of GOP allegedly do not want to vote on it as a stand alone item. In that case, Pelosi would be expected for Dems to extract concessions from GOP. Will that happen? Or will cocaine Mitch dictate the terms ?
  12. Staple gun in the balls sounds awful.
  13. That is a broad area, but I wish you good luck. My brother has been renting a tiny old house in the Heights for years while looking to buy inside the loop. Budget of $300k to $325k. He ended up buying a house in Spring Branch, north side of I10 and Gessner, outside of the loop. Schools are ridiculously bad.
  14. Certainly run the best candidates you can. However I don’t see realistic possibilities of Democrats winning Senate seats in Texas or Georgia. force Republicans to spend resources on defense but don’t get your hopes up.
  15. Well that is certainly entertaining. Does this prevent the other/new government lawyers from joining the case?
  16. It would appear Trump and Barr are going to push this a lot farther. At this point, what is the question in front of Judge Hazel? Did Robert's decision basically say "start over"?
  17. ^^ that sounds intense. You expecting any significant changes in your electric bill based on your forecasted growing?
  18. Following in Warren’s footsteps? http:// https://apple.news/A6ssGQPjDQRSj_SCDt-MiSA
  19. People still think that Trump plays by some similar ruleset of decency. He doesn’t. He would love to be an all powerful ruler. No Congress. No Supreme Court. No Federal Reserve. Just him and his tanks and planes. That is why I was shocked upthread when DOJ announced so quickly that census was moving forward without the question. No way that Trump signed off on that DOJ decision.
  20. That’s what I am taking about. Trump isn’t going to just openly admit defeat.
  21. I assume DOJ is happy to move on at this point. Surprised Trump didn’t fight further on this just for the optics with his base.
  22. The HEB creamy Creations I have at home didn’t come with any kind of seal...plastic or otherwise.
  23. Where my Twinkie’s at ?
