But my ideological cowardice means...I have to hate it. Oh and I have to mention Iran...sure, it has nothing to do with this...but, it can't hurt.
 


Particularly enjoy the "Polo" sign.
 
"President Donald Trump's popularity is sinking like a rock, He gets slammed on honesty, empathy, level headedness and the ability to unite. And two of his strong points, leadership and intelligence, are sinking to new lows. This is a terrible survey one month in" said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2431


That may be true on an overall level, but when you look into the voter scores, its almost always Republican voters heavily supporting him and Democrat voters heavily against him.

Eg: 93% Republican voters think Trump is intelligent, 73% Republican voters approve of the way he speaks about the media and 78% Republican voters believe Trump over the media for important news!

Democrats and liberal leaning media have to make in roads into this Republican base.

Nah, independents will suffice. And check out the trends, all awful.

What is it with the US and Iran?

Ties to Israel and Saudi mean they have to go full loco on them at every opportunity or the blowback from the Islamic Revolution and events with the hostages in the embassy?

Never understood why they hate them so, so much.
 
I can't believe he fecked up so badly though. He always knew where the line was, and how far to cross it to get his supporters hard, while keeping himself 'respectable' (ie mainstream people would cover him with the adjective flamboyant or maybe internet troll, rather than the adjective white supremacist or something similar).
He would know that paedophilia is a line in society nowadays, and just as was going mainstream, he condones it - I wonder if he knew what he was doing.
What's the proverb...pride before a fall? He thought he was being edgy delineating between paedophilia and sexual abuse, and tripped.
 
In India teachers in public or subsidised schools and colleges have to perform election duty - sit at a booth, check the names and ID, and file a report. Same for you? (Many other govt employees have to do the same)
No, that's taken care of by local election commissions.
Betsy was on your side...Trump and Sessions overruled


Interesting... I remember him making a big deal about how his admin would be protecting LGBT rights. Surprise surprise
What exactly was this?
From the article...
Last May, the departments of Education and Justice issued joint guidance directing schools to let transgender students use facilities that correspond with their gender identity.
I taught at a school with one of the students involved in getting that ruling passed. The kid had previously successfully sued the SC Dept of Motor Vehicles because they were refusing to allow them to take a drivers license photo as they appeared on a normal day.

Myriad of reasons...some valid, some not so much, plus it's not exactly one sided.

- Islamic revolution
- Hostages
- Israel
- Nukes

They call us The Great Satan ffs :lol:

Of course, they'll point out...

- over throwing an elected govt
- support for Saddam during the Iraq - Iran war
- crippling sanctions
- blind support of Israel
- support for KSA and other Arab nations against Iran and Iranian interests
 
The "what kind of insurance do you have" question is going to lead the news tomorrow. Congress members have some of the best health care available.
 
Human nature -- you dont know what you miss until its gone.

Oh, for sure, but I was meaning more it's a shame that they are so blinded and they get their sources that are so bitter and hateful against the Democrats and Obama in particular that they didn't know the ACA was Obamacare and vice versa. Just imagine if he got what he really wanted with healthcare? He would be made a living Saint.

As mentioned a fair bit in here recently, all the Republicans at town hall events are getting hammered over healthcare, how important will the media be in all of this? Especially considering all the Fake News BS being pushed by the White House. It has the potential to backfire spectacularly and Trump and co need to be very careful how they play this, because if they start trying to spin the Fake News angle, then people may actually start to think that's not on and then question other stuff they have used that excuse for. Do you think Trump is going to be backed in to a corner over this?

Any attempt to delegitimize the town hall sentiment will backfire. Just look at Spicer today - who suggested it was partly political theatre. The protesters at the town halls just used that to fuel their rage.
 
Would love to know how forcing people to buy a private company's product is a "job killer".

Just check Twitter mate, it seems the entire GOP is out in force from Trump down and they are all knocking Obamacare. All of them with bullshit scaremongering shite like Pence above. It really angers me as it's peoples lives in the balance. Also, Pence makes out he's such a holy man, such a caring Christian, it's despicable. That women in the town hall clip where she's saying her husband has cancer and yet his insurance is only $29 a month and hers is only $39 a month, but that pays for his numerous treatments and all his pills. It's heart breaking to know that these cnuts want that removed. Personally I think that $70 a month is too much, but that's far better than being uninsured or having to pay thousands of dollars. Honestly, I don't like thinking about it, after all exactly a year ago this week I had my brain haemorrhage and the NHS saved my life, and my relatives in the USA are now thankfully all insured thanks to the ACA, they weren't before. To think Trump and co are literally gloating on a daily basis about going to repeal it really disgusts me. :( Meh, mini rant over.
