Prediction: A third Republican Senator will flip on DeVos, but this will be countered by a Democrat senator voting "Yes" to take it back to 50-50 and a Pence tie-breaker.
The issue isn't that the president isn't elected directly. The problem is first-past-the-post. This is then compounded by the vast differences in population in the individual states.
It's not exactly true. Canada has first past the post voting and has multiple parties. It does create a huge incentive to lock down third parties and encourage tactical voting, which is what the two parties did via ballot access when third parties started popping up in the late 1800s/ early 1900s. After that it made it hard to get the momentum necessary to have a viable national third party
Do you know the fear and panic a home invader creates? It appears through your ignorance, you think the "robber" was "executed" because of a "material possession". Most robbers are not "executed" for taking the TV, they are killed for violating the security of someones most precious space, their home.
Maybe you are just being hyperbolic to make a point, but I think its rather disgusting you think someone protecting their home is all about material possessions, rather than safety and security, which many believe a is a legitimate reason to kill someone.
I should have been more specific. I'm not talking about someone breaks in and the home owner shoots him only to find out that the guy was going to steal something like a TV. I'm talking about something like this.
The homeowner came out of the house and shot the guy while he was sitting in the car after he was robbed. To me, this is wrong. Yea, it sucks you were robbed. It doesn't give you the right to go execute the guy that robbed you. That's what the justice system is for.
Trump looking to gut financial regulation. This scumbag has to be stopped. It's amazing the housing bubble wasn't even 10 years ago and we are supposed to have totally forgotten it.
Next in line Trump renames all CDOs as Patriotism Bonds.
All this First Amendment pearl clutching about Milo is ridiculous. No one has a FA right to speak as an invited guest at a university.
It's also worth noting the similarity between Milo's trolling and fake news. I strongly suspect that Milo's political views are entirely secondary to his trolling mission. In other words, he probably defines his political views based on what will make for the best trolling.
Application of the FA to deliberate trolling and fake news is likely to be an interesting area over the next few years, especially for those who adhere to a speaker centric view of the FA (as opposed to a message centric viewpoint).
I didn't see a video and don't know about batons, but I'm sure at least tear gas and pepper spray were used on the 200+ peaceful protestors and journalists that were arrested and charged with felonies in Washington DC.
The false arrest and heinous overcharging and collective punishment are abuse as much as baton strikes.
Don't forget the flashbang grenades being indiscriminately launched into crowds who are doing absolutely nothing at all.

He's for a Glass Steagall type act or has said so in the past.
LOL even the video says many tore apart the sidewalk and throwing bricks at the police.
The targets of the flashbangs weren't doing anything though. This is the point. The reactionaries can't distinguish between peaceful protest or even journalists and violent protest.

They are in the same crowd. If some are violent in the crowd, everyone should be dispersed. Otherwise your just providing cover for the violent protestesters.
Are the deplorable Trumpkins in favor of war with Iran? Like, let's say Trump invades next week and it doesn't go so hot. Are they just going to rally behind him?
I'm glad Trump is rolling back regulations to 2008. It's becoming clear the only thing that will get him out of office is for the economy to crater. We need unemployment to be 10%+ and the Dow sub 8K again. Add in a war with Iran and MAYBE the GOP will grow some stones and impeach the ****ing clown.
