  1. Well that's a pretty low bar. I thought you just said the whole system is fucked? So which is it? Fucked or fine?
  2. Well see if Paxton was made Trump's AG I am pretty sure we would somehow end up with somebody worse. That seems to be how these things go.
  3. The people he is talking about are not migrants. They were asylum seekers and the government does have to provide them with some assistance per international treaty if we grant them asylum.
  4. Ukraine has been fucked for centuries. Living next to Russia will do that.
  5. Just to clarify the people you are talking to were asylum seekers who were granted asylum and had to supported a bit. This is all by international treaty. They were not imported labor. And I am all for anything that keeps Americans off the street. I don't know if that also requires us to never give asylum to anybody. But can we stop with the Trump wishcasting? He can do things and I can see those things and I can make my own judgements. I don't need you to spin some tale of Trump glory for me.
  6. Now don't get me wrong, it was bad...but it doesn't seem to be disastrous on a race by race basis. We are keeping most of our US House, State House, and State Senate seats. However, in the past I hoped that 2018 and 2020 signaled the way forward. But now it looks like it was a high water mark. We are sliding back the other way. So I guess in that sense it was disastrous.
  7. Yeah those were a bunch of sound and fury that signified nothing at all as it turned out.
  8. Yeah I thought that last time. Didn't really work out. That is what makes this time different. I can see pretty clearly what this means.
  9. That's a lot of strawmen. I never once thought he was going to invade Mexico, sell California, or launch nukes. I only take him at his word, that he will do what he promised to do. That's my concern dude. Now it might be worse or not than that. But either way it is going to happen whatever it is. I already did whatever I could to stop it. So nothing to do but wait.
  10. I deleted mine in 2014. Best decision I ever made.
  11. We did. But it was a closer run thing than I was comfortable with. And now we are going to do it again with him having a large mandate. It's concerning both for what it says about us as a people and for what the impact of that might be. But I couldn't tell you exactly what is going to happen. Just wait and watch.
  12. I would hope this would put that to bed. But maybe not. Maybe the Dems just decided not to rig this one for some reason.
  13. I disagree with most of your interpretation but fair enough. Ultimately his job was to defeat Trump and keep the country safe from him and he failed to do it.
  14. I don't know if he is wrong, but I certainly was horrified Joe was intending to run again. I thought the understanding was he was going to be a one term President. Who knows what we would gotten out of a full primary though. But we had the inflation no matter who it was. Trump's mythology was going to be there no matter who it was.
  15. They went to attack the Congress and Senate. Who were only protected by the capital police. And unnecessary, if they wanted Trump to be President, they only had to wait. Doesn't this put a lie to the idea that the Democrats are stealing elections? Yet the guy who has insisted this non-stop for 9 years is going to be President again. Doesn't that bother you?
  16. He certainly was smart to distance himself from it. The problem is the people who wrote it surround him and he is ancient. I guess we now find out if the Democrats were correct.
  17. Yeah I don't have a clue why his approval rating was so bad. It was a miracle he got done what he got done and I thought most of it was good. He barely had a mandate but he got a lot done. Which was impressive. So what do I know? It was the inflation and I knew that was going to be a problem. The Republicans were already saddling him with that before he was even sworn in and it worked. My main criticism of his and his administration was his insane choice to run again. That was a terrible idea. That may have destroyed everything.
  18. I am thankful Trump is old and there is no clear replacement for him. There is very little else to be optimistic about.
  19. Well I am clearly useless. I thought they needed to be more populist and they were but to little effect.
