I assume we'll be blocking Ukrainian refugees once that goes down.

Where do you guys come up with this ****, honestly. There should actually be a Chicken Little Thread on this board!

The only Americans led to concentration camps in recent history were led by the Regime of FDR with his huge majorities in both the house and senate. And to quote that great american philosopher Stephon Marbury... "And that's factorial!"

Np completely silent about his dumb dilbert posts being debunked

only 9 because he was very busy and his Trump Valley Golf Estate is one of the most challenging courses ever built

Fake news!!!!

This whole Supreme Court thing is such a perfect example of how much better the Republicans are at falling in line.

Like, literally within hours of Scalia's death, the Republican leaders were already making statements about blocking the seat. Just assuming all Republicans would get on board and shutting down any talk of dissent immediately. And they had no way of knowing Scalia's seat would be open beforehand!

Now, the Democrats have had ample time to prepare and we get different senators saying different things and wishy washy internal arguments about idealistic norms of yesteryear.

One of the many reasons the Republicans were able to get away with blocking Garland so easily was because of the immediacy of the decision. They were never going to vote on him. End of story. Now you media donkeys can get back to covering the American Carnage, errr election, tyvm. I wonder what percentage of Americans even know wtf a Merrick Garland is.

Contrast that to now, where we have 'FIGHT BREWING, WILL DEMOCRATS CHOOSE TO OBSTRUCT GORSUCH?!' And instead of Obama doing ~nothing we have Trump already coming out forcefully urging the Republicans to nuke the fillibuster if necessary.

You don't get to use that as a defense of Republicans. They supported Japanese internment.

Are you an Anarchist? If so, maybe you can take the high ground there.

The other half is that Republicans should not fall in line. If McCain and his ilk cave under pressure, they should be treated just like Trump.

In a perfect world people can be reasonable. In this world don't talk about moderate Republicans.

Really feel like the DeVos nom is a head fake..."let the Dems knock one down and have a meaningless victory..." in the meantime, Sessions gets confirmed.

yes absolutely. emphatically yes yes yes.

the thing is, you just dont get it. democracy is dead. you cant go back. never in the history of our govt, and really any govt, has it ceded power. the federal govt has only gained power.

and now we have an authoritarian govt.

so the question is, would you rather have a right wing, white-power, isolationist, regressive christian authoritarian govt? or a liberal, inclusive, progressive authoritarian govt?

Ill take my chances on anything but the first one.

but we are never gonna go back to the old ways.

Here's a reason to not filibuster this time: it will be easier to defeat the nuclear option for a worse nominee. As we've just seen with DeVos, it is possible to peel Republicans if the nominee is bad enough. And if you're saying that if they have the votes for worse nominee they'll have the votes for nuclear, it's always going to be harder to support bad nominee + nuclear than bad nominee on his own.

Islamism is a much bigger and older problem than just ISIS, or even islamic terrorism.

What Harris is speaking against is pro islamist nonsense like this recent article masquerading as an enlightened opinion.

Let's have an open dialogue
So clearly not an open dialogue.

As for true teachings, this is why we have a civil war between sunni and shia in the first place.

I said this last night about the "head fake" thing you posted regarding the 4D chess move of signing the ban while "quietly" putting Bannon on the NSC, and it applies just as equally to this post:

You're giving this incompetent administration entirely too much credit.

LOL how would McCain be caving?

McCain "Gorsuch is a good choice"

Dems "we won't let anyone be appointed for the next 4 years"

Like what he is supposed to agree with that and it would be caving if he does not?

Hmmm... According to the RCP Presidential Job Approval he sits at -1.9% (44.3/46.2) almost precisely the popular vote differential. I am not sure how that translates to "very unpopular". Maybe very unpopular in your mind or in the minds on this board.


First of all Trump is perfectly legit according to the United State's Constitution and that is all that matters in this country and you saying he isn't is just silly. You may not like him nor his policies, but according to our laws he is the legitimate President of the USA. End of story. Your team lost the election played under the established rules. You weren't robbed or had the election stolen.

As to the rest of your hyperventilation, plz call me when we invade Iran or FDR is reincarnated and people with funny (non lily white) colored skin are put in concentration camps.....

HEADLINE: trump is decently popular among people so wildly uninformed they actually voted for trump

What if the Dems came out and said, "You blocked Merrick Garland for 11 months. We're going to block Neil Gorsuch for 11 months, you can either schedule the hearings for December 21, go nuclear, or give us some incentive to allow the vote now."

Upside: A 4-4 court is better than a 5-4 court, and there could be vital cases coming in the not too distant future over Trump executive orders. You might get something back - like a cabinet nominee being replaced. If Kennedy/RBG resigns or passes away in the next 11 months, you can attempt to negotiate a moderate SCOTUS justice getting a nomination and immediate up/down votes on both. It's an insurance policy.

Downside: They could just go nuclear, but they would have done that within the next four years anyway and it's sort of a freeroll for Dems in the future. You could lose credibility with a lot of Americans (most of them already thing your politicians are running child sex rings in DC pizza shops, though, so wtf cares?).

haha. this gets to the point better than my post.

I mean come on, do you actually believe that? do you actually think that this guy wont gladly and vigilantly do trumps and the right wings bidding?

utter naivety.

his vote in that case was bc obama was the president at the time. he wanted to restrict obamas power. just utter lol if you think he would restrict trump or the rw.

Devos wouldn't even be a loss for Trump, more so for establishment GOP. But regardless, they are going to pull together enough for a tie and Pence will put her in.

I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to an answer on that .Alex. post, but violent revolution is more American imo than voter disenfranchisement. Obviously that's not true in the historical sense of what America has done, but in the love of freedom and liberty sense.

I didn't use it as a defense of republicans... I merely stated the fact that the only internment camps in recent history came into being by an executive order by the all time favorite of the left FDR and that is a fact!

And no.... I am not an anarchist :-)

Facts are damn nasty things

Having said that, his ego will take a hit I guess, and he will go into twitter rampage mode I'm sure. Or spend his time talking to the family of the fallen SEAL venting about it.
