no personal opinion. but your worst has happened. what do you do now?

Yeah, Trump fans haven't been around since he's been failing so much.

Trump just checkmated the entire left. WTF are you even talking about? Do you even know what you are looking at?

His "airstrike" effectively ends the argument he's in cahoots with the Russians. It creates the illusion that he's forceful and aggressive, and it just so happened when the Chinese were visiting.

Wow you guys are getting worse. WAKE UP.

Anyone who would, as an undergrad, attack divestment from apartheid South Africa, is an evil person. There is really nothing more that needs to be said. Or you can watch Al Franken question him about the infamous trucker case. Either stance is proof positive that he's a psychopath, just one who is more intelligent and plotting then, say, Ted Bundy.

It's a shame that the national discourse norms still dictate that (at least for those in the center mainstream) we can't call people like Gorsuch evil people when they plainly are. Democratic leadership is dedicated to the idea that, no matter what these republican psychopaths do, they have to be criticized as well meaning if misguided people. Bush can torture and murder people. Cheney can have meetings pre-911 discussing how to divide up Iraq's oil reserves. Reagan can demonize black people to get votes and spread terror through Nicaragua. Bush Sr. can invade Panama for no got damn reason whatsoever. But these are all good, well meaning people who are just a little misguided.

No. These are psychopaths. But even the new wave of social democrats aren't quite ready to acknowledge the true nature of these people, which is fundamentally different than most of humanity. I'm ahead of my time on this one.

I never said the sky was going to fall if we raise MW so that article seems to be attacking a straw man in my case.

I've always said we would see a small unemployment increase over what we would otherwise see. It sounds like that research is comparing what unemployment was before and after a MW hike which is silly considering the small sample size, the insane amount of other variables and the fact some of those MW hikes could be small enough raises to not be that significant or the new amount could still be under the market rate for labor.

Even if he is not a puppet the Russians still interfered in our elections which trump wont acknowledge and he and his supporters are still ok with and will do nothing to stop and protect one of our most important rights in future elections. Congrats.

thats an interesting take. Personally i reserve the term psychopath to the kind of people that intentionally drive their truck through a crowd of pedestrians and stuff like that. The interesting thing is that people on the left are behaving like franken owned him while people on the right are laughing at what a blubbering buffoon he made himself. franken came off as an arrogant highschool kid trying educate someone light year ahead of them. i believe the democrats sided with his ruling at the time also. the hearings were a political attempt to smear the appointment in front of ignorant sheep that could easily be manipulated by a highlight reel and some commentary to tell you what to believe. im actually surprised this worked on you, its pretty transparent. I thought there was a chance you were going to bring something new to the table but it seems like you're just outraged due to a lack of understanding of the rule of judge and have been manipulated by completely transparent, openly biased, and poorly formulated hit pieces

The Russian investigation continues. Health care failed. Political infighting in the White House like never seen before. Executive orders on immigration blocked by courts because Trump can't keep his bigoted mouth shut. Approval in the basement.

But, yeah, Trump shut down a Syrain air base for a little over 24 hours. He's chessmating everyone.

lol Russia issue, a truly Red herring. Wake me up when either of these premises prove false:

1) Russia "interfered" with the election other than by telling the truth.

2) We are going to continue to ignore all possible conflicts of interest of all members of government for their partaking in the joys of global investment.

What we should actually be doing is investigating and suing/prosecuting the democratic party for interfering with the Sanders campaign. That is the huge injustice which resulted in Trump, allowing him to win, within the limits of our system, fair and square.

Wake me up when you dont go look over there.

Confirmed x2

Most people do. But consider the idea that psychopathy and intelligence/social class are somewhat independent. And let's oversimplify psychopathic urges to wanting to kill the largest amount of people possible. If I were an intelligent psychopath born into the middle/upper class, I would figure out at a young age that going into law and politics would be the most efficient way to accomplish my goals. Through politics I can destroy a society, such as Iraq, causing far, far more death and chaos than merely driving a truck into a crowd. Not only that but I can get rich doing so, and get to justify it with bold lies to boot. I can commence the dropping of bombs on civilians, go out to play golf the same afternoon, and people will think that is normal because of the office I hold.

This is the age of psychopaths, which will continue until they destroy us all, including themselves.

As soon as I heard about Gorsuch's campaigning against divestment from apartheid South Africa (even after the university had made it's decision) I knew everything I needed to know about him. He's an evil person. In fact, I criticize Franken and the democrats for not having the courage or integrity to call Gorsuch what he really is.

This apparent reticence is really a requirement of the general (and despicable) effort by democratic leadership to maintain the status quo. A central component of that effort is to portray republicans in a certain range of perspective, as enemies but tolerable ones. Calling them what they really are would rock the boat too much. Corporations, who are making obscene profits at the moment, don't want boat rocking. They want the charade that the democrats put on for them in which political outcomes are portrayed as the the result of real differences between well meaning people. What we actually have now in government is a range cutoff at the lower spectrum of humanity, with scumbag democrats covering for psychopath republicans, both parties servicing a corporate agenda.

Arguing is worthless. Believe​ what you wish, but when all is said and done I think you'll be surprised.

You said

13ball pointed out that's far from the case because the Trump administration has had a series of failures and is even under investigation.

You respond with your usual 'yeah whatever' that you roll out whenever one of your childish and totally wrong observations has been decisively refuted.

Not to mention the "success" of the air strike is a failure to a bunch of his followers.

You can say a lot of bad things about the alt right, American First, isolationists. But at least they yelled at Obama and now trump when it comes to mucking around in Syria. They have some ugly principles but at least they have them. Unlike the trump fans cheering on what they would of chanted against if it was Hillary and what they did when it was Obama.

So you have zero evidence for your beliefs and when confronted with a study that is against your beliefs you handwave it away instead of analyzing your belief. That should get you far in your career.

I didn't download the study, but I read the summary and it made no mention of proof that MW doesn't increase unemployment in most situations where MW is above the market price of labor.

Deporting millions of immigrant is a good thing. The crime rate will go down, the quality of cities will improve and we won't have to deal as much with language barriers.

Thanks to President Trump, we had the least amount of arrests at the border ever. We haven't even built the wall yet.

Winning!

Your posts are all hopeless.

Trump has no more intention of deporting millions of illegal immigrants than he had of putting HRC into jail. These were just sound bites to attract deplorable suckers, like flies to a jam jar.

Half a Trillion Dollars

Congratulations to Neil Gorsuch on his nomination to the Supreme Court.

How awsome would it be if little Ruth went away! Actually there could be a total of 3 more spots opening. We are finally getting back to our Judeo Christian values.

I noticed that Gimpy Bragger and Siskel and Einbert aren't posting as much these day's. I guess when things go bad for them they don't have much to say.

These are good times folks...well, not so much for liberals lol!

These criminals are costing this country a half trillion dollars. I'm shocked more people aren't more angry at these people. This is why we need to stop them from coming in. They are ruining this country.

It's amazing what a group of disgusting bottom-feeders Trump supporting conservatives are.

Fortunately, virtually all of you will have died off within 20 years. And as far as getting back to Judeo-Christian values, people are turning away from religion in record numbers. There percentage of people who identify as atheist/agnostic/"no religion" has gone from 5% twenty years ago to 18% today. Young, educated people are finally starting to see through the bull****.

By the way, it's rather ironic that the Party Of Life is sitting around rooting for RBG or others to pass away so that their regressive 1790's agenda can be put into place.

All the more reason to leave them alone, or at the very least create a path to citizenship: in addition to the cost you cited above of $500 billion, you'd see the economy take a significant hit. These people represent 3% of the population, and they spend plenty of money.

You're going to need a citation for this claim.
