Also didn't Steve King go hang out with an actual Nazi group in Austria? Did Kevin McCarthy want him to release a statement clarifying that?
I dont see the point of holding / lowering the bar to GOP standards. Pelosi's statement was bullshit and indicative of what Omar was trying to say. However, I dont see the harm in Omar apologizing for any offense taken and clarifying her stance.
It's not about lowing standards. It's about not letting them dictate the standards when they have zero credibility and then hoping later on they just might adhere to them also.
Again, we agree on Pelosi. It was bullshit. I dont think clarifying comments that some people** could take offense to is a huge misstep or concession. ** those people - anyone who is not a right wing hack who's intentionally misconstruing the comments.
Trump's disapproval rating dropped to 55%. Unfortunately, Reagan's was still at 55.5% on this day of his presidency. So Trump has finally beaten a past president in being less unpopular. Today is a sad day. Rasmussen's biased fucking poll had him at 52% approval, which is patently absurd.
The president of the United States blamed his imaginary friend for plagiarising his wife’s speech from the former First Lady. People forget that.
Fuck that. You dont have to pick a team. Just because the trump admin is trash, doesnt mean you have to support a repressive government.
i'm endlessly amused by the TDS thing yes lets call back Bush Derangement Syndrome which Krauthammer (burn in hell) coined to make fun of anti-Iraq war people who were absolutely right that makes sense lets do that
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/11/us/guns-in-schools.html Dr. Jones estimated that the total cost of the new security measures would be close to $200,000 for the 2018-19 school year, and said the armed guards would earn a yearly salary of about $50,000. It “substantially exceeds” the money received from the state, he added.
Apparently the Trump and anti rallies are spitting distance from each other tonight El Paso. What I’m saying is this could be our fort Sumter.
Can someone point me to the swing district wins where Dems ran on wanting to work with Donald Trump????
I’d take Iran over Saudi Arabia or Pakistan without hesitation. I don’t get how flag waving patriots aren’t bothered by the GOP’s cozy relationship w/SA. 19 9/11 hijackers+OBL were Saudis. There is little doubt the royal family funded terrorism targeting the US. Saudi Arabia is the draconian fundamentalist Islamist nation of Fox viewers nightmares. History lesson... After 9/11, Iran mourned w/the US. Unprompted through back channels, Iran provided a literal map to defeat the Taliban (Iran/Taliban almost went to war in 98-99). They offered to provide operational intel on Iraq too. Instead of graciously accepting, GWB declared Iran part of the axis of evil. Later, the EU negotiated a US/Iranian deal... US Terms: Iran acknowledges Israeli government legitimacy. Turns Hezbollah into a peaceful political organization. And KILLS their nuclear program. Iranian terms: removal of economic sanctions. Permission to purchase replacement parts for their Air Force jets. US/Israel leadership acknowledges the legitimacy of the Iranian government. Colin Powell said Fuck yes to the deal because it was a great deal then, it is a great deal now, and the world would be much safer place if it was permitted to fruition. If you wondering how such a mutually beneficial pact failed I have two words for you...John Bolton. Bolton, his mustache, and his erection for Iran convinced W. to oppose the deal. Which is the real reason Powell resigned as SOS. The only positive about this failure was it was considered a death blow for Bolton’s career. He was run out of DC and was persona non grata for Govt & private Nat Sec jobs. He was relegated to the only place that would hire him...Foxnews. Never to be taken seriously again...or so it should have been. I should clarify that these events occurred while Khamenei was President (a progressive by Iranian standards) This is prior to Iran’s election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a anti-US, fundamentalist, hard liner. Ahmadinejad later supported the insurgency in Iraq. Although, if the US/Iranian deal had been successful, it isn’t a reach to theorize that the anti-US candidate never gets elected. Additionally, as a people we have more in common w/ Iranians than Saudis. They arent religious zealots the gop portrays them to be especially in comparison to SA. The women, for example, wear sexy yoga pants, sleeveless tops, and wear makeup (especially eyeliner/mascara). They also have rights. If the GWB admin wasn’t so fucking clueless the world would be far different/safer. If the US/Iran had a working relationship, the war on terror (specifically against Sunni Jihadis like Al Qaeda) would be far more effective. Iranian intelligence is one of the best in the region. It would have been a game changer. Diplomacy’s most basic tenet is cooperation based upon mutual interest. We had mutual interest against OBL/SA’s brand of terrorism. It isn’t like they could be worse allies than the Saudis and Pakis that fuck us every chance they get.
I mean, if you continuously vote for Republicans, what do you expect? Edit: Awww... shit! I got Tankerton’d
My annoyance with Wohl is the same feel that I get from tmbrules. He knows what he's doing, all he cares about is the replies, and nobody is going to "own" him with their response. He's gonna be a well-off-enough, alt-right influencer because everyone on Twitter can't see through his charade
Been away for a bit but the anti wall march seems to be bigger than T's dumbshit rally in El Paso? Good.
Currently the same thing is happening in like 3 other GOP held statehouses, I know Idaho is one of them. The GOP hates democracy.
Wohl is an obvious hustler. His latest take proves that no take is too absurd to support. Trump speaks like a 4th grader giving an oral report on a book he didn’t read. No one would receive treatment from a doctor w/the same speech pattern as Trump. Would you let a person that speaks like Trump cut your hair? Would you even take his directions if you were lost? Why is the bar so low for President? Critical thinking skills are non-existent in large swaths of the US.
My statement had nothing to do with Trump. Wohl plays the left as much or more than the right and he is successful that
