The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 808 - Politics and Economics

Ugh. I have regular texting arguments with TRUMP-BRO at work

Me: *sends graph showing trump's abysmal approval rating*
Trump-Bro: Of course its not good. It's the number one goal of Democrats to delegitimatize his presidency
Me: Always blaming everyone else
TB: Exactly my point. What's happening right now is the biggest temper tantrum in in the history of the US. It's embarassing and sad that people have nothing better to do in their life (sic)

I'd agree. I'd say the media is trying to take Trump down, and that's one of the reasons his rating is so low.

I think it's great they're trying to take him down, for the record. I wish they'd try to take every politician down, we'd have a much less corrupt government.

He said the case had nothing to do with the First Amendment

That is correct obviously.

I say obviously because when Gorsuch says it and it's not what you previously believed, you should assume that you're wrong.

Right, being incredibly confused by something all law school students know, what originalism is, is totally killing it.

Did you go to law school? Are you a practicing attorney?

Without looking the case was decided on RFRA not the first amendment.

Yeah I think it is a completely unreasonable characterization to say what Russia has been doing the last few years is just the more same ole same ole.

Attack vectors and targets have changed and become drastically more dangerous for the US. Just causing confusion and chaos is certainly part of the playbook but they have been implementing other tactics and targets that were either not possible or non existent in the past.

obv, but leaving out the First Amendment was a critical part of the majority decision, so to act like it wasn't relevant to the decision is wrong

It's starting to look like King Richard will never be returning from the crusades on this one, and the best we can hope for is Nurse Ratchet walking in on the previous night's ****-show and lobotomizing everyone.

His approval ratings are low because he can't put a fork full of waffles in his mouth without coughing up the ball (West Wing ref for all the fans). Oh ya, and he is a ****ing pathological liar, bully and totally ignorant of even the most basic policy issue.
