Why not me for prez

Your definition of misogynist is any man who voted for Trump. So you have no credibility.

not a big deal, she was gonna be gone this week anyway when Sessions gets in there

it was a protest by the D's for show only, and the firing was merely a show of strength by the R's. Nothingburger.

That's actually fair.

I thought you'd go with calling into hell to talk to Hitler.

The more liberal you are, the harder your denial. He's gonna be around for 2,885 more days after the first 37 are over. And then we will have 2,922 days of Pence. Then you can have Cory Booker or whoever else is still alive.

She calls everyone she disagrees with a misogynist so there's that.

Well, your misogyny is pretty disagreeable so there's that.

Seems fine to me, its a step away from identity politics. I dont see how its holocaust denial to recognize a lot of people suffered because of hitler

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”

LOL

I love that gif.

Although every time you post a gif in the POG Politics thread, MonkeyBanana strangles a puppy.

So think of the puppies next time before you post.

The depressing fact is Zorkman is more likely to be right in Trump getting two terms than kokiri in Trump getting impeached.

I will be Chairperson of the Central Committee and El Presidente.

MB can be First Minister of the Treasury.

Birdman can be Head of the Party.


Amp can be the Minister for Education.


Kokiri does not make the cut - but he can have a life-time tenure at his college.
Well-named can have any academc position he wants.
Filthy can take his pick of his positions in his own theatre troupe, I am sure we can get a grand enough venue for him.


The rest I sadly think are likely to end up in some sort of backwater, others are definitely bound for a re-education camp of some sort.



Don't worry, no penal prisons in Digger world but there are going to need be some re-education camps sorry

Isn't it about time you started facing up to WHY that is rather than just lamenting it?

given that my cursory glimpse at the stats gives something like, of the presidents who were elected to their first term:

13 won a second term (including Nixon who of course quit in his second)
12 were one and done
2 were shot
3 died of other causes

so history would have me as a 5:12 dog.

Why is trump more likely to serve a second term than be impeached? Probably Caitlyn jenner's fault, amirite? Although to be honest, I'm struggling to see why.

Fun fact of the day: two presidents have been impeached (Jackson? and Clinton). Both were subsequently cleared by the resulting Senate trial.

Because, sadly, mentalist Steve Bannon has a more accurate picture of things than virtually everyone on the left.

I will say, however, that the incredibly slap-dash wording on his executive orders opens up the possibility for a lot of legal wranglings ... but it's possible that the slackness is by design to give them wriggle room to get out of anything like that.

For him to be impeached, he has to be pinned down on something. This was never done when he was a more or less openly crooked Casino owner, so what makes you think it will happen now? Especially when he has the power to fire judges.

I mean, the way Trump / Bannon have played this -- at total war with the media -- everything down to crowd sizes and approval ratings becomes a matter for debate. It should be the post-modernist dream because all semblance of a knowable reality has become destablised.

Be careful what you wish for.

I just think it is against the "DNA" of the robe -tugging instincts of the average Republican. They will bow before revolting.
Additionally, I discount the ability of the Democrats to remake themselves and thus I suspect that they will not significantly increase they political attractiveness.


So, a low chance of impeachment - with Trump being a 50/50 chance of relection.

Do you see them doing this by adopting more nationalistic stances or by doubling down and appealing primarily to people in California again?

false

The Democrats will fight tooth and nail on their Pillars: Healthcare and Social Security.
They will roll over on every tax cut, they will be strategic (depends on state by state) on trade, they will probably fight on immigration now.

But, I think they will not argue for big change. And I think the establishment arm of the Democrats will fight off any insurgency by progressives.

How many people itt have expressed their political concerns directly to their representatives?

I have. The Tory was polite, nodded his head repeated that - of course, he did not like locking kids up in overseas interment camps but that was better than them dying at sea. I told him I thought he was a disgrace.
He left.

I shouted some aperçus at mine when he was out canvassing. He's still a **** though.
