Missing word, you cowardly fuckwit. You’re a hateful little toad, so you weasel and hint and suggest, always assuming others are as dishonest as you are. Go ahead. Try and criticize that sentence while you ignore the actual meaning of it, which is that you are an aging edgelord without the spine to be direct.
More rage? At the guy who attacks my service after that now-demonstrably-false apology from you? More intelligence? If you consider yourself intelligent, then why are you not intelligent enough to drop that pretense of goid faith that everybody sees through?
You do these drive bys, look for misplaced commas and typos, sneer as if you have a great point to make, and then scuttle away when you finally go too far and get nailed for it. You then wait till you think it’s blown over, then slither back, looking for your next victim.
This sums up Republican “men” to me. You don’t have the guts to fight openly because you know your beliefs are indefensible, but you cling to them because they’re the only things that make you feel remotely adequate. You offer nothing substantive, just constant drivebys here and there, after which you scurry away.
You should really change your handle to something like Pasquale, or Jimbo, or Clem. You don’t deserve to share the name of a character from a fine product such as “Schlock Mercenary”; a piece of crap like “Rose is Rose” is more your speed.
I’m surrounded by xtian conservatives, so I get to hear their views all the damn time. For folks like my dad they like Trump because he is pro-Israel, and they believe that America being Pro-Israel is the only thing keeping us together as a prosperous nation. According to Jack Chick theology, every nation that turns against God’s Chosen People get turned away from and they don’t get to be the number one nation anymore.
He also likes the deregulation, and that Trump seems pretty xtian friendly. He’s never mentioned supreme court judges, so I don’t think he really cares about that. He did hate Hilary very much. Strong women with power are extremely threatening to him. He is also very frightened of trans and gay people, and feels there’s a huge gender war going on.
He sees the world as a terrifying, demented place where right has become wrong and up is now down. He wants it to return to a time when white male Christians had privilege, literal Biblical creation was taught in schools, men and women had their assigned roles via assigned genitals and everyone knew their place.
He doesn’t believe in man made climate change cos only God can control the weather. Tornadoes and other disasters are God’s judgement. The wickeder this world becomes the worse those things will be. He also thinks God is going to burn the whole world up and recreate it one day after the tribulation period where things are gonna get way worse than anyone can imagine, so worrying about trying to save the planet is useless. So he likes how anti-science Trump is, as they share a similar grasp of it.
He also hates and fears Muslims, so any killing of those people is a good thing in his book. He doesn’t really talk about the wars though. He is mostly focused on Israel, the rapture, and the gender and culture war. against Bible believing Christians, who are all going to be rounded up and shot one of these days, he is sure. He is also a budding conspiracy theorist and believes whatever he reads on the internet. Like a few months ago he was breathlessly telling my mom about how Hilary Clinton is really a man because he read it. On the internet. But he only believes stuff that comes from right wing sources.
I’m not sure intelligence and Trump support really go together. Trump support is purely emotionally based. And you cannot rationally or intelligently defend emotion. I’m voting for him because I’m scared or angry and I want revenge isn’t something most of them will tell you, but it’s the only right answer. IMO
I can’t think of the name for this but there’s a rule for how to ask questions in software that it’s important to provide your history and what you’re actually trying to achieve at the high level.
The problem is that if you don’t understand the basics then, when you try to solve your own problem, you go down a bizarre path and end up getting stuck on something there.
Like, you forgot the combination to your electronic safe, so you decide that you need to short circuit the system because that might cause it to release, so you get on the local elections DIY website and ask people what thickness of rubber you need for your gloves to hack into the wall outlet.
Subsequently, the DIY people spend a hundred messages trying to get the guy to hire an electrician, but he keeps refusing because he’d “rather just buy a drill if he needs to go to the next level”. And then after much angst and confusion, a safe is finally mentioned, a few people have a gear click, and eventually they’re able to show the guy how to look up the factory manual on the maker’s website.
Now, thinking further about EasyPhil’s purported anti-privacy violations deal, I realize that there is some chance that we’re dealing with that sort of situation.
Phil, do you mind simply explaining what in the world you think needs to happen in the world? Who is good, who is bad, what things you fear might happen if we don’t do X, etc.? Let’s not get lost in minutiae. Go broad and let us have it. Who are you?
A lot of people didn’t like Clinton either. But the reason a lot of conservatives support Trump is because he has been checking enough of the boxes that conservatives want checked (particularly judicial nominees) that they are willing to turn a blind eye to the racism.
If you are Republican, you have been turning a blind eye to subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) racism for decades and you have been telling yourself that it’s OK because Republicans denounced and repudiated the worst of the racists. It’s not a huge leap to go without that fig leaf when Trump seems like he might be able to deliver a generation long conservative majority on the supreme court.
Once again, not everyone that disagrees with you is a Republican. You are deliberately shrinking the size of your tent to people who think exactly like you. This is how you lose elections.
The recording looked real bad from where I was standing, it is inappropriate to suggest a foreign power investigate a political opponent. But it’s not treason, it’s not unconstitutional. It’s not enough that a Republican politician has to vote for impeachment.
We do not remove democratically elected presidents because left wing nuts like you feel very strongly that we should do so.
No idea what you are talking about here but conservatives I know were all pretty upset about that but not upset enough to abandon the guy that put Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the court and may very well put RBG and Breyer’s replacements on the court
11 Americans? Or are Republican politicians honor bound to impeach their own president because Ukrainian soldiers died fighting for Ukraine because we didn’t help them quickly enough?
Are you suggesting that those deaths would not have occurred if Trump went ahead with the aid?
You’ll have to ask the Republican congressmen but I suspect they do not share your beliefs on many things, including the threshhold that must be met to impeach a Republican president.
If it was up to me we would have removed Trump about 6 months into his presidency but it’s not up to me. And it’s certainly not up to this liberal echo chamber. It’s up to congress to decide if what he did was bad enough to be removed from office.
If you honestly don’t recognize that this site is a liberal echo chamber then you are too far gone to be any good to anyone. Just keep your mouth shut in public so you don’t scare away the moderates.
I don’t believe it was ever any secret what McConnell was doing when he refused to hold a vote for Garlock. Just like it’s never really been a secret what the Democrats were doing by pushing the rape charges against Kavanaugh. It might have happened, it might not have happened but it was purely politically motivated, but they’re politicians and that’s what politicians do. But at least they drop it after the possibility of political advantage has passed.
You seem to continue to think that Kavanaugh is a rapist based on one person’s testimony and the “concern” expressed by a bunch of politicians.
Trump demanded a favor from the new president of Ukraine.
Trump slobbers all over Putin every chance he gets.
Ukraine is a small country.
Putin invaded Ukraine.
Whatever you’re yapping about with regard to those 11people, you’re either being unbelievably obtuse or just exhibiting more of that Reichwing bad faith. Whine more about how you’re not a Trump supporter, somehow you only defend him.
Trump linked aid to Ukraine inventing crap about the Bidens.
He held onto the aid until Ukraine agreed to attack the Bidens.
This is illegal in at least three ways, you simpering hemorrhoid. The money was already designated as Ukraine’s by Congress and by law once that happens it’s not supposed to be trifled with. IT’S FUCKING EXTORTION. And finally, it’s Trump using the fucking office against somebody who’s a personal enemy, but who has no policy significance.
And to willfully omit that Repubs throw hundreds of thousands of ONLY Dem voters off the rolls, that they gerrymander districts into ludicrous configurations to give them the numbers, and that Russia helped steal the election is Pizzagate/climate change denial-level rejection of reality.
He wasn’t lawfully elected, asshole. Left wing nut? On the ignore list you go.
Yeah, of course not, you twit, I just like introducing random facts about, oh, Sri Lanka while I’m talking about Ukraine.
Trump is evil and a blatant traitor. Anybody who defends him is a hypocrite, a liar, a traitor, and/or irredeemably stupid.
I’m curious what definition of “Constitutional” you’re operating under?
Short of taking the stance that anything is Constitutional so long as you can get 34 Senators to decide not to impeach you, and the list of impeachable acts is just flowery talk that’s not meant to be taken literally, I find it hard to envision making a serious argument that we’re in Constitutionally-approved territory on this one.
I mean, I grant that Biblical interpretation has probably stayed farther from the text and historical meaning than you what you seem to be suggesting, but that’s a a pretty dire catastrophe.
I think that is probably the total. His parents are fairly affluent. He wouldn’t be the first guy to get bailed out by really rich parents.
Not really. The UGTI exemption is something like 11 million dollars now. Inter-generational transfers of wealth are almost entirely tax free now except for the obscenely wealthy. It’s funny, I still see moderately wealthy people engaging in tax planning when the need for such tax planning has effectively evaporated for almost everyone.
He was a partner at a Kirkland & Ellis for several years.
Do you honestly think you caught something that the Democratic party missed? If there was something fishy or corrupt about how that debt got paid off, you wouldn’t have to guess about it.
