5ive,

The answer is that Harris and chytry are both raging Islamophobes.

Headline... the post I was responding to was wildly misinformed about Trump's popularity so i outed his fake news.

Not sure (how can anyone be?), I do know that SCOTUS judges do not turn out as expected and plenty have disappointed the Presidents that nominated them.

I am not sure what you are referring to but I'll play when I have time.

Did he not get on the Trump bandwagon when all the experts here were betting their life savings in the Hildog lock of the century?

bc trump picked him and repubs love him.

Less than a month before the election he said "Hillary will win easily" and endorsed Gary Johnson. He's a ****ing crank who was so all over the map that he could have claimed to be right no matter what wound up happening. It's not a good reflection of you that you look to him for expertise.

Arguments like this are annoying because Trump is currently destroying that constitution and refusing to follow established rules from the judicial branch.

Actually you said internment of "Americans", which made it accurate. Now as you state it w/o "Americans" it's not quite right. We put hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese in camps 30 years later. (mostly under a Democratic administration I think.)

Also more recent than the Japanese internment were the Displaced Persons camps where Jews were kept after the war, some of them until 1952.

Also Dems were the party of Slavery and Segregation until the Civil Rights Act.

The parties have changed in a lot of ways. And now the Republican party is like a billion times more fascist and currently has people locked up solely because of their nation of origin and religion.

On judicial delay...

Rs let dozens of judges go unconfirmed in last two years of Clinton's presidency

Dems let dozens of judges go unconfirmed in last two years of Bush's presidency

Rs let dozens of judges go unconfirmed in last two years of Obama's presidency

its a tradition... however before the last few years of a presidency it is very hard to block nominees, they eventually get through. this is the key difference between Garland and Gorsuch, we are not at the tail end of a Presidential term and it is immensely more difficult to block Gorsuch, and many Dems realize this and don't want to spend their political capital on a likely to fail effort.

AFAIK, Trump is historically the WORST in terms of polls at this point, AINEC. -9 on Gallup, FWIW.

Other than Putin/Russian interference that favored him, possible collusion with a foreign government to influence the election in his favor, illegal FBI actions that favored him, emoluments violations, nepotism, etc. Other than those details, I have to agree, he is PERFECTLY LEGIT. "Played under the established rules" ... gtfo


This much I'll give: according to events as they've happened so far, he is President. The Constitution is not all that matters. It's enforcement is what matters.

I don't know enough to comment on Harris, but I think if you watched Maher's show you'd change your mind. I'll admit that Maher has his Ann Coulteresque moments a tiny percentage of the time, but otherwise he's at Daily Show levels of hilarious. And IIRC he was indoctrinated with Catholicism (the one that systematically rapes little boys until they're old enough to fight back) so I cut him some slack with his hatred of religion.

Here's a good argument: Trump is a birther, so all he's getting from us is Garland, a juice box, a helmet, and a padded room. Or a foot in his ass.

Good post. I'd guess Maher is slightly islamaphobic, but it doesn't make sense to hate on a guy because he's wrong once in a blue moon, especially when we can all agree that all religions are chock full of crazy.

Let's talk about norms. Is it normal to be a birther for like a decade and then become president? That's like getting on flights every day for ten years and screaming "I have a bomb" 5 minutes before landing in NYC. So what do we "normally" give presidents that increased the chances of an Obama assassination?

lol A+

Trump's a ****ing birther. There's the explanation

Democrats are useless ****ing cowards.

DeVos confirmed, 52-47

Your ignorance knows no bounds

Dems have no political capital. The only question to ask is what move will play best in 2018 and 2020? Nothing else matters.

Captures trump perfectly.

DeVos has NOT been confirmed. The 52-47 vote is to advance the nomination to a Senate vote. The actual vote on her confirmation will likely not take place until early next week.

Joke's on you, he's talking about RCP average which includes lolrasmussen skewing everything rightward

I'm not convinced he's not actually Scott Adams irl based on posting history

Substitute those numbers with RCP average and previous presidents still couldn't touch Trump's unpopularity

It's pretty crucial that Trump gets less and less popular. Him crossing x% is a tipping point high or low in terms of impeachment or fascism.

If we're lucky, maybe his speeches will be covered in the impending ban.

np, again, will you even feel a little bit of shame for being completely wrong? Or will you just keep calling out other posters who disagree with you but post facts "fake news?"

Did anyone watch the spicer press briefing today? Wondering if any reporter had enough ball sack to ask about the "ban". Trump tweeted about argument over calling it a ban and said "call it what you want".

What does "political capital" even mean anymore? If voters want you to obstruct, and if the other side has shown they have no interest in compromising, political capital doesn't really exist anymore, does it? At least in this context, I think the answer is clearly no, it doesn't.

I did see a clip of Spicer answer a reporter's question about Trump's vexing Frederick Douglass comment and it was readily apparent that Spicer had no idea who the **** Douglass was, either, or that he was even dead.
