Lestat,

You're downplaying how we are a Christian country and we have taken over the world and we have committed lots of unspeakable violence.

You want a litany of bat**** religious crazy **** from the US from stadiums full of promise keepers to a Vice POTUS and his funerals for fetuses law? Our POTUS' explanation of how God wanted him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan? Or get a little abstract with the Christianity inspired ethos that we have a moral obligation to civilize the world by force?

I know some of it is just being a bitch, but I think Rand really believes Trump's non-interventionist message is how he feels about FP, which aligns with Rand.

Lol @ him for that

Does Rand Paul even pretend to be anything other than standard red state Republican?

He wants to stop wasting gov't $, even republican. That's maverick in that world.

He's always said the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are disasters and that the US shouldn't police the world.

I'm sure he thinks Trump is a dumbass but I think he does see the potential in Trump to scale back these operations, whereas pretty much every other Republican wouldn't.

True, but if McCain just stays quiet and falls in line, that's much worse. He's probably not running again so its not like we're worried about him being primaried and then losing at least silent opposition to Trump.

McCain speaking out against Trump is always better than him not speaking out against Trump. He can't really control what the other congresscritters do. But you're right, if they all alienate him, then WAAF.

A Democratic appointee on the FEC has resigned, meaning that Trump will get to appoint the person to break the 3-3 ties that the FEC have been having for a decade.

There are currently three VERY rightwing commissioners, and Trump will certainly appoint a fourth. It's a very bad situation.

nice

Good post.

It's a great example of good ole fasioned fear mongerin'. Focusing on supposed or over exaggerated threats can divert attention from more tangible though less popular, and more importantly, less profitable issues.

Rather than addressing pollution and climate change, things that will have devastating impact on this country for generations to come, this game show host would rather work his slappies into a frenzy about illegals coming into the country and raping all the white women. Instead of looking at discriminatory sentencing guidelines and police procedures domestically , he instead wants his mouth breathing supporters worrying about radical islamic terrorists.

Thanks to Senator Reid, there is no more filibuster of executive nominations in the Senate.

god damnit democrats.

did not know current deputy nat sec once said Putin should get Nobel Peace Prize.

Yeah it was bit of a joke obama got it but wtf @ this.
Can we get one who has ridic thoughts or ties of another country? It'd be refreshing.

It's not intellectually accurate to say Sweden is doing alright with immigration, and call a Trump a liar based on that.

if that makes you sleep peacefully after electing your pathologically lying god-emperor

Paul has turned out to be the Wikileaks of congress people.

Nice cherrypicking and sample size.

I don't like the guy, but sometimes his criticism has basis like in the case of McCain. If McCain wasn't going on with the "bomb bomb Iran" stuff he may have appealed to more people when he ran.

Imagine being enough of a genius to triumph these as actual sources.

There was a claim itt that there was 250k more votes for Democratic representatives in the house. Does anybody have a link to those figures?

Lololol

Don't disagree with this at all. My point was that you can take *most* religions and turn them violent. That's why it should be okay to call out crazy ideas when you hear them. Whether it's funerals for aborted fetuses, death for apostates or drawing pics of prophets, whatever. Being silent and PC is not the answer imo.

Don't think it's fair to blame Reid for this. The only reason it happened was to try to fight against Republicans obstructing every single policy/action/appointee from 2008-2016.

Isn't the entire GOP strategy now to let Trump be the sideshow? While everyone marvels at the clown juggler in the center ring, the GOP quietly enacts their entire agenda from dismantling ACA, to cutting taxes on the rich, etc. Why would they turn on Trump?

Do you have a link to the report?

Especially because he's voted with Trump 94.4% of the time

Talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.

Nothing of significance happened in Sweden on Friday. Trump was lying, and he was lying because he's a fascist, racist, narcissist, psychologically and four times financially bankrupt moron.

Now **** off.
