    Joe Biden @ debates: "It's because of my time in the civil rights movement, the marches I was in, the speeches I gave, that I think it's GOOD for the Hyde amendment to restrict access to abortion to poor and black communities because we need more black babies. Just think of how much more entertaining music and sports will be."

    Liberals online, taking a brief break from attacking Biden's closest opponent: "GOD DAMNIT BERNIE BROS YOU MUST VOTE FOR THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    Their establishment is going to play the “moderate” and “experienced” card very hard. What people have to be able to do is to see that for what it is:

    ”Yes, please vote for us. We’re completely unprincipled, we always back down from a fight, we only go as far as our corporate coffers allow us to, etc. Bernie is the exact opposite of literally all of those things, but we’ve been doing this way longer than he’s been doing his thing. Vote for us.”

    Biden will win the Dem nomination because old people love a stupid, rambling shithead.

    But he will lose the general because no one can beat Donald at that game.

    ----------------------

    Biden was slated to deliver a brief opening statement, loaded onto teleprompters, and then take voters’ questions. He deviated from the script, left the podium and then the stage altogether. He started with what aides had hoped would have been his headline of the day, the environmental policy.

    But by the end of opening statement to his town hall, Biden had noted that his home-state of Delaware has more minorities than New Hampshire, mentioned that he wanted former New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch in his Administration, reminisced about how he enjoyed having a new car for the prom because his dad ran a dealership and recalled how Barack Obama often overstated Biden’s working-class roots. There was also loose talk about overtime regulations, NATO’s future, Mitch McConnell’s deal-making, Chinese “xenophobia” and gay rights. Eventually, the teleprompter operator just gave up trying. Biden kept trying to wrap up but kept having another thought. He said “lastly” at least three times in trying to nail his landing.

    ----------------------

     

    Democrats are to politics what Republicans are to religion/reality:

    They claim only to know things they do not know, and then they claim not to know things that they do know.

    If they really wanted to make a dent, all those border patrol new hires should be doing employer inspections instead of border patrol. 

    That and stop imposing unlivable living conditions on peoples of other countries in the region via imposing/supporting vicious dictators and other right wing regimes that do absolutely nothing but enrich themselves and their small pocket of

    Bottom line, and I’ve said this over and over: if you don’t want people illegally coming here, don’t give them a reason to. When you support Contra-esque regimes and when you allow employers to hire illegal immigrants with zero fear of prosecution, you are giving those people reasons to come here. This is not a Have-Your-Cake-And-Eat-It-Too proposition; you either care about illegal immigration or you don’t. If you don’t want to address root causes, then by definition, you don’t care.

    Hell, they line up on entrance/exit ramps in the mix master during rush hour to panhandle.   They didn't go anywhere, they just scattered and regrouped. 

    And it was largely a reaction to that very short-lived ordinance that stated the DPD had the right to ticket them. That lasted about...a month.

    hahahaha, yeah, they all left Dallas

    I was just about to say, I live in Dallas and can tell you they haven’t “gotten rid” of jack shit. We still have people sleeping on sidewalks, we still have panhandlers, we still have people walking the streets screaming incoherent nothings, etc. I have that Nextdoor app and cannot tell you how many emails I’ve gotten that are about posts that read along the lines of “homeless guy on [intersection] seen masturbating.”

    Acting as if Dallas, or any other major city for that matter, is some sort of homeless-free paradise is an exercise in Make Believe and Pretend. I suppose that’s to be expected with that particular crowd, given their propensity to automatically assume absolute horseshit.

    Hm.  You asked for evidence and I provided it...

    You didn’t provide jack shit. I asked for evidence to support the suggestion that so-called “libtards,” which in itself is a deliberately vague and ambiguous term, actually contribute to the creation of homelessness via allowing them to “pitch tents” and all that. 

    You post a video about how people are feeling emotionally about how homeless people are living outdoors. That’s not evidence, that’s a dodge. 

    The person I was responding to answered a question that stated “Please explain how liberalism is the cause of homelessness. I’m seriously interested in this answer. 

    So the two of you are saying that the reason that there is homelessness is because already homeless people are pitching tents instead of being thrown in jail. That anyone would find that logical is an indictment of one’s reasoning faculty.

    So I see this narrative a lot. These libtard cities with their homeless problems and how that is a sign of failed liberalism. Please explain how liberalism is the cause of homelessness. I’m seriously interested in this answer. 

    Clearly it’s because they do not champion the brilliant and wonderful hypothesis of trickle down economics. If those cities would just cut rich people’s taxes, the poor would be able to get jobs!!!

  8. To be fair to Laura Ingraham and the producers of her show, that graphic was only half bullshit. She usually bats a much higher percentage: those accounts were, as it says, “on social media.”

    To be fair, I think some of the pushback on the Obama nomination was that he was leaving office once and for all, and with Trump...there's a chance he could be re-elected (though, I hope not).  historically, which nobody gives a shit about these days, the waining days of the first term of a President are treated differently than the waining days of the second term of a President.  Unless you are a power-monger like FDR and wipe your ass with the Constitution.  Or have someone else wipe it for you, you fake-Monarchical rolling cumrag.  

    That said, maybe we'll get lucky and have Breyer and Trump die together Thelma & Louise style later this year.

    No, this has to do with the fact that the GOP is the most destructive and hypocritical organization known to fucking man.

    These idiots cited the so-called “Biden Rule” in a lame-assed, desperate attempt to justify their shafting of Garland.

    For one thing, there is no “Biden Rule.” That simply doesn’t exist. It’s just a very out-of-context quote mining that the GOP found buried in the archives of Willie Horton and burning the flag.

    For another, the “Rule” they refer to was a speech he gave in the weeks leading up to GHWB’s re-election bid, so clearly the GOP fucking Merrick Garland had nothing to do with Obama leaving.

    Further, what Biden actually said was that GHWB should hold off nominating a justice to the SCOTUS until after the election (should a vacancy come up), and it was due to the very toxic environment over the subject as this was in the wake of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas’ nominations.

    But far from the context of the political environment, and far apart from what Biden had to say, notice what he did not say. He did not say that Bush should hold off a hypothetical nomination were he to lose the election; just that he should hold off until after the election had concluded. That’s a huge difference.

    There are no lines in between which one could read Joe Biden suggesting that any hypothetical Bush nominations would be stalled to the point of not even having a fucking hearing had a vacancy come up around the time Clinton won the 1992 general election, so Mitch McConnell is absolutely wrong about absolutely everything he said to even imply the contrary. He’s completely full of shit, and this unwitting admission of vulgar hypocrisy on his part is only a surprise in one regard: he was actually being honest for a split second.

    Which propaganda rag is that?

    The one that uses that “fair and balanced” tag line to qualify their useless drivel

    Where's your video of Palestinians shooting rockets into Israel? 

    Or are you not "fair and balanced"?

    Hideously argued non sequitur aside, it’s funny that you’re using a slogan of a propaganda rag when you refer to those projectiles as “rockets.”

    regardless I bet trump would agree that Kim or Putin would make a better president than Bidan.

    Considering his sole criteria for what makes a good president is whether or not the individual in question likes him, I'm sure you're right.

    By the way it is very ironic that the partisan media who are parroting the DNC's calls of Constitutional crisis are eager and willing to ignore every part of the Constitution in order to get rid of Trump.  

    What parts are they ignoring?

    We were told that he wouldn’t get us involved in foreign wars and shenanigans. That was actually something the Trumpkins, including in this community, pitched.

    Not only that, I never saw anyone make the claim that trump was the first president to do this. Almost seems like a strawman argument. Wouldn’t you know who won the pony?

    The Saudis know how easy it is to manipulate Trump. And Trump is completely out of his element. He doesn't know that posturing and positioning for war can easily lead to actual war. And he's got a National Security Advisor who really wants war. If the U.S. takes any military action against Iran and Trump sees a bump in his approval ratings, look out. 

    If he would get even the slightest bump for such a thing, we officially live in a lunatic nation

    I actually think you're probably right.....but that's why my joke about Costa Rica isn't entirely a joke (well, it probably won't be Costa Rica). 

    I'd love to see that discussion.

    Trump: "Let's attack Costa Rica!"

    Some Cabinet member (SCM): "Why?"

    Trump: "Why not???"

    SCM: "Well they have no military whatsoever, so we can't sell the idea that they're a threat to us. I mean we stretched it with Grenada, Vietnam, Iran, etc but at least they had armed forces."

    Trump: "I don't understand the difference"

    SCM: "Sir, if we attack Iran, for example, we could at least say that they were threatening us with a military attack...because they have a military..."

    Trump: "And?"

    SCM: "Well CR has no military. Who can we say is threatening us to the public?"

    Trump: "Some Puerto Rican guy!!!!"

    SCM: "Sir, that's a different place and it's an American territory."

    Trump: "Nuh uh, Puerto Rico is a Mexican country"

    SCM: [handing Trump a set of car keys] "Sir, play with these for a while."
