    That's why you want a guy who's spent his entire career in real estate and reality TV to be in charge of it. 

    Maybe this unprepared, incurious, unread, narcissistic moron will pull it off! WE'LL SEE! lol

    Just waiting for you to stop dodging my question which I asked first.

    Which ones? This thread is moving fast and I have no clue what question you're talking about.

    I don't remember anything good the Republicans or Trump have done recently that I would have praised. I might have, I might not, I don't remember.

    Be specific. Name something good that Trump or the Republicans have done recently and I'll give you my take. I am perfectly happy to praise positive actions. I know you don't believe that because you're up your ass Anastasis-style in believing you're the last sane person alive, but give it a try.

    However, there have been a few things here and there where he and the Republican Party either accomplished something or took a reasonable position. ... I’ve posted probably ~4 times positive things about Republicans and/or Trump on things where I truly believe they’ve done something good. Each and every one was met with the standard playbook.

    You're completely full of shit. This is Anastasis-level self-aggrandizing "I'm the only reasonable person here, both sides actually" bullshit.

    Be specific. Name something good that Trump or the Republicans have done recently and I'll give you my take.

    I wonder why you don't do that. lol

    Sorry, I meant an issue where Bad Teammate actually agrees with the Republican side. Trump crosses both party lines on issues. The problem I see is the blind alignment of the parties to only their own parties’ positions.

    It's not a problem you see, it's a problem you imagine.

    I don't keep track. How about you do some sleuthing?

    Better yet, tell me something genuinely good that Donald or the Republicans have done recently and I'll give you my take.

    Bad Teammate, I’m curious. You post on here all of the time. If you were to go back and find the last substantive post where you praise Trump and the Republicans for anything when would that be? This week? This month? This year? I’m just wondering.

    I don't keep track. How about you do some sleuthing?

    Better yet, tell me something genuinely good that Donald or the Republicans have done recently and I'll give you my take.

    And you take speculative news stories that may or may not be true and process it thru your far left lens to suit your pre-existing beliefs.

    Only the "far left" sees the collapse of the site as unintentional? OK bud

    You people have got to learn to treat every piece of news information skeptically.

    The stopping of missile tests and blowing up of a missile construction site. Now who is ignoring the past? Who is ignoring the most recent past?

    Their nuclear testing fell apart on accident, they used that as an opportunity to say they did it on purpose, and you are so fucking stupid you gobble up NK propaganda like it's truth. Holy shit.

    Crazy world these days.  Amy Mek reports on Imans calling for "death to all Jews" and the excesses of a religion that actively prescribes death for criticism or rejection of that religion, and the left says she is the one with hate in her heart.   And you are laughing and celebrating the jailing of a guy who dared report on the trial of gangs of Muslims raping young girls.  I'll never understand you guys.  It's like you are some kind of aliens.

    She is.

    lol fuck off moron

    The objective response to yesterday’s news at worst should have been “hmm, let’s see what happens over the next few months.”

    The past doesn't exist? The present doesn't exist, either? lol ok bud

    30 seconds to validate my 95% comment. Not one of you can sit back and reflect for 10 minutes. Nope. You just immediately spit out your standard lines you’ve been given by your Dear Leaders. Congratulations conservatives and liberals. You will forever be known as the reason why the greatest country to ever grace this planet was destroyed from within.

    People weren't thinking about this until you posted, because you're the center of all things.

    Great victories:

    High integrity like IRS targeting conservative groups, accountability like Fast and Furious, transparency like Benghazi. Sure thing.

    Obama's 8 years of scandal is like two days for Trump. It's amazing.

    From what I just read we’re cancelling our regularly scheduled exercises that happen every spring. They’re due to happen next March.  I’m sure if things are progressing properly we’ll be doing whatever we want. 

    Why are you sure of that?

    I hate Trump’s guts. But objectively you have to acknowledge that for such an incredibly difficult problem and situation, the agreement with NK is a positive first step. It may all fall apart later, but you have to start somewhere, and commitment to de-nuclearization is the right first step.

    That's not a first step. NK pledging to maybe think seriously about de-nuclearization is a "first step" that has been repeated over 3 decades. Lucy is putting the football on the ground again and you're acting like Charlie Brown is brave and noble for coming in to take another shot.

    The only thing we have given up is joint military exercises, which are just a money drain anyway.

    They're actually an extremely important sign of solidarity with an important economic and democratic ally. But at least we got the same empty, specifics-free promise we always get. And a photo-op.

    Suck it up and acknowledge that he’s done something that has some value because he has. Otherwise you look just like the science-denying lugheads on the right.

    There is literally nothing at all of value that occurred. Nothing. It was completely meaningless.

    So the deal is us canceling our military exercises with SK in exchange for NK restating the same vague promises they've made for 25 years?  Is this a joke? 

    So Tired Of Winning!

    To your first point, I agree with you. I remember the first time it dawned on me that real life "normal" people of means and success (and ostensibly brains) were taking Trump seriously when I got lost in a really affluent neighborhood after a birthday party and dead-ended into the cul-de-sac and noticed, "wow, these huge houses all have Trump signs in their yard and I don't think they are being ironic..."

    It's always been true, but the election of Trump is a lesson that we are all on the same planet but in different worlds.

    Now, more than ever, I try to keep political discussions in social situations turned 180 degrees away from political parties and specific politicians. Policy-focus is where common ground can be found -- or at least interesting conversation.

  15. Hillary exaggerates her role in SCHIP. She basically made sure Bill didn't ignore the bipartisan-sponsored bill because Bill was wanted a balanced budget and to work with Republicans.

    So she helped. That was good.

    So where the hell is she? What is she actually doing?

    Look at the issues she’s pushed hardest on over her career... Health Care, child issues, and democracy promotion.  

    It’s not that difficult to read the tea leaves on Hillary Clinton 

    You listed 3 extremely vague categories of policy and I cannot think of a single win on any of them.
