I guess I'm just gonna throw everyone off the ignore list. Every post gets quoted 5+ times anyway, no matter how dumb the troll is.

Head for the hills.

Jfc Vince McMahon's wife is part of the administration.

YAAF.

Here are a list of things he's accomplished so far. You may not call it winning.

WTF, why is *everyone* engaging Sushi? Did I miss a memo or something?

What does that part of your post mean?

So the Russians appear to be blaming the rebels for the Syrian gas attack, whereas the rest of the international community is saying it was Assad. No doubt Trump will offer some insightful thoughts and demonstrate firm leadership on this issue!

I don't have time to look into all these things, but to the extent that his executive orders instruct agencies to review Obama policies that were codified into administrative rules, the process of undoing them is much more complicated and lengthy than simply signing an EO and being done with it. The agencies ave to go through notice and comment and will have to provide valid reasons for making the change, then whatever changes are proposed, even just a straight repeal, will be subject to lengthy court battles. The whole process will take years, for the technical environmental rules like the WOTUS Rule, at least.

You sided with Darren ****ing Wilson when he shot Mike Brown and complained about Colin Kaepernick kneeling.

LOL "hit a nerve". Buddy, I've disliked you for being a dip**** racist child rape apologist since way before that post.

Don't you possibly group yourself in the "we" there. You're a pro-police brutality guy who bitched about paying that attention! Seriously, get the **** out of here with this bull****.

ESPECIALLY since Lestat personally claimed he "swallowed hard" and voted HRC.

Me personally, I didn't think it was a tough choice, but OK. So Lestat, who was so unjustly called names for defending various cops that killed black people, Donald Sterling, Joe Paterno, and so forth...

He didn't even vote for Trump!

Like if there is one thing the turnout rates show, it was lower than expected minority turnout. Hillary should've called Trump racist more often. Like, IDK, once. Hillary never brought up the Central Park Five. Her attack on the birth certificate was a rambling request for an apology to black people(???) for like, hurting Obama's feelings(???).

Another idiotic argument that Trump voters aren't responsible for their own votes. Please take this moronic **** elsewhere.

Daddy is sooo accomplished!

I understand it, but it still amazes me that people are bothering to respond to a poster who has given absolutely no reason to bother responding to.

I tried once or twice to tell people to stop taking seriously people who clearly should not be taken seriously, but rather ignored, but here we are...

The ignore function on this site has leaks and the many otherwise intelligent posters who refuse to not respond to the perpetually content-free posters are seriously ruining the reading experience I get on this forum.

This is great.

Claudia Barknappen, the owner of the diner, wipes her hands on her faded God Bless America Apron. She is taken aback to see that Trump’s budget would replace her home with a sinkhole, but she says that she is reserving judgment and likes how much he hates immigrants. “We’ve got to give him a chance,” she observes. She says that one time Trump showed up at her home and hit her dog with a broom, but in her mind this amounts to no more than one strike. She knows that she can change Trump with love, not that he needs to change at all. Behind her, an eagle falls out of a tree and dies.

Does anyone think the administration which is clearly owned by Putin is going to do anything about one of Russia's two allies using nerve gas on people?

And I find it amusing that republicans say well obama didn't do anything yet none of those people were calling for anything to be done. In fact we had the opposite in the campaign where people were crying a no fly zone in part of Syria would start world war 3. Putin and the Russian government is complicit with everything Assad does and now the US White House is complicit with the Russian Government and Putin.

The "Hillary will start WW3" rhetoric was HUGE on state media in Russia. It was practically telling people to get their bomb shelters ready. This is one of those messages that 45* picked up from Russian propaganda (wittingly or unwittingly) and ran with and soon had Fox News and every other right-wing outlet blasting it from the treetops. It's a good example of Putin, through the polarization of our system as well as people's lack of critical thinking or information literacy, came to be a substantial force in the 2016 election.

Obama not doing anything is their ham-handed justification for *why* they won't do anything. Too big a mess, too many problems, all Obama's fault, can't be fixed. It's obviously a bunch of bull****, just want to be clear why they're going HAM on Obama: it's not so much to lay the blame at his feet, or at least it's not just that. It's to explain their inaction.

Here's a preview of the 2018 election cycle ads. Subtext: Liberals are terrorists. Fun times.

Sen. Jeff Merkley has been holding the floor since 6:45 last night and he's still going. If you want to see a real live filibuster (for all the right reasons) here's your chance:

Honestly, it's pretty LOL to argue that Gorsuch is unqualified. His educational and work background is virtually indistinguishable from the background of any judge that any other president would have nominated. Arguing that Gorsuch is unqualified is simply a hyper-partisan bad look.

And I agree with mutigers that this plagiarism charge is pretty weak sauce.

The best arguments that Democrats can make in opposition to Gorsuch are (i) he's outside the mainstream; and (ii) #FreeMerrick.

I'm not a fan of the second argument for reasons that I've explained in several other posts and won't bother to repeat here. The first argument is available, but depends on how you define "mainstream". Is Gorsuch more conservative than your average American? Sure. Is he outside the mainstream of GOP circuit court appointees? Not really.

hes right about the gerrymandering and suppression tho. years ago the repubs did an analysis and found that if they focused on local elections they could institute this sort of gerrymandering. they were able to identify the most impactful races and focus on those. further, they found that it would be a ton cheaper, monetarily, to go that route than to pump tons of money into the bigger races.

it was really a brilliant strategy.

How is this plagiarism getting a pass from people who are supposed to value academic principles and ethics? This is not something that's okay, guys. Again, I ask, what the **** does "well-qualified" mean other than that he's a handsome and harmless looking white guy? His rulings are so far outside of the mainstream, he's an extremist. He's a heartless automaton who has shown no ability whatsoever to rule in a human way. He will enable lobbyists, big corporations, and people like the Koch brothers to have even more out-of-state influence on local elections, ruining our democracy even further. He will attack women's rights and abortion rights, and he won't stand up for workers. This guy is absolutely a joke and he would be completely unacceptable if he were a Democrat. I really don't get why people feel the need to have such a double standard. Do mediocre conservative white people really need an advantage this badly?

And in any event, none of that really matters. This is Obama's seat to fill, not 45*'s. We will never ever forget that.
