    ^ Imagine the brainstorming sessions that Rs have behind closed doors with a nice glass of wine. How do we keep this going?

    The only way they can keep it going is to become more racist, more insular, and instill more fear in their base of supporters. They've been doing that for over 40 years now. They have no choice. They've done nothing to expand their base and welcome new voices into the party. It is a party based on white grievance and victimhood. It works every so often, but not always. One of these days it won't work at all and you'll know that America has changed forever. That is their biggest fear from an electoral standpoint because it means their tactics cannot work. The party will have to change if it wants to keep enriching the people it really works for: the wealthy.

    Unlike within the US, the rest of the world is already well aware that the US will tolerate practically anything among its friends. Those comments, if they signify anything, is a level of openness and self-awareness that you do not normally see from an American administration. 

    Tulsi Gabbard would be no different. I know you know that.

    Who fucking cares if he says nice things about Kim.  One of our most important allies is SAUDI ARABIA for Christ’s sake. If something productive comes out of the visit that decreases tensions then that is what matters. 

    Prostrating yourself to North Korea will only embolden the regime and increase tensions on the peninsula.

    Donald Trump is weak. Kim is taking advantage of that.

    Lol. No, I asked how you think Obama would respond to that question in view of the fact that his regime deliberately murdered US citizens without due process. I would assume he would invoke necessity but you seem to disagree. 

    I do disagree. He would think the point you are trying to make is clownish.

     You don’t recall Obama droning American citizens abroad? 

    Fine. We're the moral equivalent of North Korea, a place where they starve their citizens for their politics and kill the opposition merely for being the opposition and nothing more.

    That's a really good point you make. You are in agreement with Donald Trump and totalitarian dictators. Very liberal.

    Do you think Obama would not agree that running a country requires killing people?  If would not agree, then did he do so in sport?  Was he bored? 

    His own people? No. I do not think he would agree with that.

    The leading conservative media outlet has now stated that running a country requires “killing people.”  Let that sink in for a moment.  Sure, Tucker criticized the Kim regime on somewhat superficial grounds (they’re Stalinist!), but at bottom a leading conservative voice just proclaimed that killing human beings is required to lead a country.  

    Holy shit.  We are fucked.

    And yet we continue to associate, fraternize, and embrace his supporters as friends, neighbors, and relatives. We (myself included) do not have the courage to shun these people socially.

    I don't think it's been in the works any longer than the Democratic debates dominating the news. Now all the Sunday morning talk shows are opening with Trump's "historic" step across the border. Bitch about Chuck Todd but he gave it a few minutes of coverage then moved on to the Democratic debates. Margaret Brennan over at Face the Nation is devoting a lot more time to Trump's media stunt. 

    The president of the United States getting played by two Asian nations on one overseas trip is definitely historic.

    Oh, so now we've reached the point where you pretend to be dense.  

    The bill that passed does nothing to protect the children, which is the goddamn reason we're having the discussion.  

    The House (read Dems) passed a bill that explicitly aims to protect the children.  The Senate (read GOP) refused to bring it to a vote.  

    Stop pretending to be dense to prove some pedantic point.  We know you love Nancy, but facts are facts...she fucking caved. 

    Let DHS run out of money and watch the GOP scramble for cover.  The Senate would pass the House Bill in a New York minute.

    The Senate passed a House bill. It was sponsored by Nita Lowey.

    So what if it was?

    The Dems had public opinion on their side.  The GOP would have rightfully taken the blame.  Now the Dems have lost their cover because they are just as guilty as the Pubs.

    It's bullshit, and an invite for the GOP to keep playing hardball knowing the Dems will cave...again, and again, and again.

    Theye need leaders like Warren and AOC who give zero fucks.

    How do you know Democrats had public opinion on their side?

    Oh, is that what it should mean? Good point. Maybe we should just skip ahead to the part where things are as they should be.

    Considering Medicare's popularity compared to other forms of health insurance, I'm of the opinion eliminating the 65 and over requirement is the most politically viable option to getting us to universal healthcare.
