They didn't filibuster him, they just never schedule committee hearings/votes, iirc.

Because rara is extremely simple, he thinks that makes a convincing argument that Democrats are violating sacred norms.

I named a character in an mmo 'bigly' before the election. I just logged back in the other day and it's nice knowing people hate trump enough to think i'm a fan and send me /spit emotes and stuff.

Ehh, I'm at the point where these simpletons can go get Darwinned out of existence for all I care. They contribute nothing towards the advancement of our species and don't give nary a **** about anything that doesn't directly have an effect on their lives.

The Americans had a referendum on who gets to pick the nominee. Mr. Trump beat Mrs. Clinton in that referendum.

Merrick Garland = Hillary's folly.

Good article on Gorka.

For anyone who thinks the guy really is a Nazi maybe read it for a more balanced viewpoint.

The administration already has multiple people with similar platform and ideology as nazi's but yes, let's argue if there's one more or not.

Did he beat her by -18%?

for reference, a 41-59 filibuster vote would be an 18% margin.

re: the Trump/Assad/Gabbard phone call things, is there a forum consensus on what should be done regarding Syria?

I ask this because if we aren't going to straight up take out Assad, shouldn't we be talking to him?

For anyone who doesn't feel like reading, the article basically involves Gorka defending the legacy of Vitenzi Rend by noting that they were only allied with Hitler until the war was almost over.

So in case anyone thinks the guy is like, really a Nazi, rest assured.

There is no forum consensus on Syria. It's a horrible problem that has no good solutions.

Ok, here's a good solution and I'm only half kidding: evacuate the whole country except for Damascus. Make a big show of sending in buses and funding jobs and social services for the refugees. Like a third of the country already left and another third are un relatively peaceful areas.
