That…that makes sense. It would actually make things much easier for Republicans to choose the bumbling idiot.
I think that’s what debates are for.
Didn’t work.
These regs sound sensible to me, considering that kids can get really rambunctious and can hurt themselves. But neocons (and some pragmatic progressives, of which I’m one) get pissy if anything sound like kids are being coddled, which results in ‘these kids today’ kinds of sneering statements (evidence of this for the latter group can be found in these two articles at this website.
And the effects would be…nil. There is a sizable and very vocal portion of America who views book learning as bad, as well as hoity-toity. Maybe even faggy. And they elected the emptiest of suits.
Yeah, any test that implied that Donny Boy wasn’t a super-brilliant expert businessman would have been rejected as easily as all the piles of other evidence that Donny Boy wasn’t a super-brilliant expert businessman.
Well, maybe we ought to restore the Electoral College to what it should have been in the first place. Elect electors every two years, individually, and let them decide when we need a new president (within the bounds of floating term limits). And maybe make them responsible for some key cabinet positions. 4 years is just too damn long to tolerate a bad president, but a good one should not have to face constant challenges. We are spending way to much money and bullshit on this office.
I don’t know if it’s necessarily a liberal idea, but I expect that this trends leftwards: decade-old book on World War 2 appears on 3 Amazon bestseller lists. It’s title? Fire and Fury.
Democrats Aren’t Sure Whether To Make Jeff Sessions’ Pot Crackdown An Election Issue
Launch these feckless jokers into the sun.
More evil than stupid: With Support From Nancy Pelosi, House Gives Trump Administration Broad Latitude to Spy on Americans.
Cue the avalanche of “SIR, by your logic!” hot takes, like Glenn Greenwald:
Gleefully poking holes in the narrative while we descend through a portal to hell is the only catharsis now.
The eagle needs both a left wing and a right wing on order to fly. But, if the right wing is crooked and broken, the left wing can only thrash about helplessly in our plunge to the rocks below.
Nice analogy.
And once again, a libtard Congressman pisses on our sacred flag by saying disgusting things about our Great Leader:
This flake of a Senator is from Arizona and sure enough: del[/del] :smack: (R) R?
Oh. In the words of Roseanne Roseannadanna, Nevermind.
R, me hearties! R! R!.
Jeff Flake, Republican though he be, has never been a Trump fan and has been willing to speak out against him… because he’s not running for another term. Such courage!
The legislative branch cannot just pass laws changing the administrative branch, or why even have a Constitution?
See the exchange between me and Really Not All That Bright just upthread. RNATB sees the bill as probably constitutional. It’s an interesting question, though academic since the bill isn’t going anywhere.
Beyond the fact that federal campaign legislation doesn’t affect eligibility for office (as I noted above), there’s a good argument to be made that the Constitution just sets out minimal qualifications. It doesn’t say “anyone who is a natural born citizen and 35 and a 14-year resident can be POTUS,” it says nobody can be POTUS unless they are a natural born citizen and 35 and a 14-year resident. Frequently, courts find that sort of provision sets a floor rather than a ceiling. On the other hand, in Marbury v. Madison SCOTUS decided that its original jurisdiction - spelled out in Article III, Section 2 - could not be supplemented by Congress.
I hope Clothahump appreciates my help finding stupid liberal ideas. This one is from a (D) — I triple-checked! It’s a shameful quote from the Pocahontas lady.
This foul-mouthed rant drips with hatred for capitalism. Just look what happens to her first two sentences if we replace her slurs with objective language:
“Right now, job creators can make a fair profit by helping veterans refinance their homes, with the veterans paying a small but fair fee. I’ve introduced a bill (with some Flakey GOP Senator) to force Soviet-style regulation on this free market to prevent our vets from refinancing their homes.”
She claims support from “five Republicans.” Obviously these are RINOs or Senators she promised blowjobs to, or, most likely, her claim is just another of the liberal lies for which she is famous. Or maybe she saw them mowing their lawns in libtard D.C. and she’s blackmailing them for it.
Why doesn’t Pocahontas go back to North Korea, or whatever her Marxist utopia is?
How am I doing, Mr. Hump ?
Thank you, Britain, for the greatest anti-single payer anecdote of all time:
NHS doctor was burning his initials into livers he was transplanting. His sentence? Unpaid work. That’s how hard up the single payer system there is for doctors.
And where in the article does it say that or is that your own idiot partisan view?
120 hours of unpaid works sounds very much like “community service”.
Is there a way to opt out of the single payer system for doctors? Are there enough wealthy patients to support entirely private care outside the system to the extent that the single payer system is starved for doctors?
