Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead

Rex has an awful person story though, right? Was he the guy that dipped on a plane? I seem to remember everyone thinking he’s worse than the garden variety piece of shit.
 

Did it have anything to do with killing five hookers?

I’ve heard this during every election in my lifetime. Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama were all going to destroy our country, depending on who you listened to. Yet here we are.

 

Lol at comparing Trump to any of them. Flawed as they all were, they all actually cared about the country and were capable of empathy in general.

Trump is a sociopath who doesn't understand the feelings of others. He is a useful tool for Mitch and Barr who are taking all this too far. Never in our history is there anything comparable. Wake up. 

If you want the deregulated lawless world that Trump is bringing, then that's fine too.  Let's do it.  I've had to fight just to eat before in this country. I'll do it again.  Like Trump said, what do you, buzzrock, have to lose?

The question is what happens after they kill Roe V Wade.  You know the right wing evangelicals won't say now that abortion is illegal we are good.  They will want more.  I am thinking prayer in schools to start.  Maybe continue gutting public education and moving to "church schools".  

Baptists in Texas:  YAY, WE ARE GONNA HAVE PRAYER IN SCHOOL, AND WE ARE GOING TO TEACH CREATION!

Catholics in Texas: Yep, and as the largest religious group in Texas, we are going to be the ones to determine how kids pray and what is taught.

Baptists in Texas:

Seriously, these idiots say they want official prayers in school, yet they don't trust the government.

And both of my kids, in two different AISD schools, have their morning "moment of silence" or whatever, where they can pray, think about Minecraft builds, or whatever.

The worst part about trump is his idiotic tweets and stupid fucking rants that make no sense. Without those 2 things everyone here would be overreacting. 

The problem is you can't take back or put stupid back in the closet. It's here to stay now and that's what the issue is. GOP is now blatantly the party of stupid, racism and everything that is wrong with America and people just want to fly their stars and bars.

We have an American culture problem we don't have a cheating lying politician problem (any worse than before). The American people are big fat stupid racist sheep and we've been exposed as such to the world. This is what happens when people get intellectually lazy to the point of idiocracy. The plutocrats take over because there's no reason not to.

Nah, it's always been a bitch to immigrate into most civilized countries, except one EU/Schengen country to another.  It's not retaliation.

LOL at Rex Kramer, who does nothing but cry about the Cloak Room on the other boards. Sitting in his dark basement, self-loathingly scrolling through it while The Cure plays in the background.

Why do they have to accept us?  Increasingly, they aren't.  Perhaps our biggest flaw is our hubris. We think we could go full Hitler and the world will follow. But they won't. But that isn't even the

True. I know quite a few Americans that have been deported from the UK, EU, and Japan. And from other countries Trumpists think would never deport Americans like Mexico and Venezuela.  

Most Americans don't understand that the visa waiver is only for tourism and short term business. 

But I get it. Canada ain't letting me in right now. And I have been feeling Canadian lately. I think they offer the perfect balance between European socialism and American individualism.  But I have residence in Europe already so there I will go. Maybe.

Since the GOP no longer has a party platform and they no longer have an official agenda, I'd like to hear what the purported conservatives on this board would like to see from a conservative supreme court.

• Do they really want to roll back Roe and simply leave the issue solely to the states?
• Do they really want to roll back environmental regulation at the federal level and leave that solely to the states?
• Do they really want to roll back federal enforcement of civil rights regarding gay marriage, voting rights, and the religious freedoms of anyone who is not a Christian Anglo? 
• Do they really want to roll back worker and consumer protections at the federal level to leave us at the mercy of corporate malfeasance? 

Conservatives Christian Anglos need to realize that, even in Texas, they are living in a rapidly changing state. Liberals and moderates are flocking to its major metro areas and the rural parts of the state have seen their populations stagnate or decline unless they're fortunate to be located over a geologic oddity that allows free money to flow out of the ground (but even that is unreliable to sustain real economic growth). 

Look, the genie is out of the bottle and the only way you can go back to the "good ol' days" is through the dramatic manipulation of our electoral process, which is what your party has been trying to accomplish (with some success). Is this really what you want? A government of, by, and for only some people? Aren't you concerned that this will bite you in the ass in the long (maybe mid-) run?

Simple logic should tell you it's time to begin to moderate your stances on these issues and work with the majority so that you can use your current influence to protect your conservative concerns. You know...bend but don't break. Instead, the positions I see from the current GOP is to place itself into an increasingly rigid, but brittle, situation and I don't think you're going to like how that cookie eventually, but suddenly, crumbles.

I like how the Catholic lady is somehow a big deal because she's Catholic.  My question would be how that makes her different from a shithead like Tom Cotton or Ted Cruz?  Is there any nuance to her Catholicism or is she just like the rest of them?

Yes, Catholics and Protestants believe fetuses are humans, you're right. Also Catholics don't like the death penalty.

Sotomayor is Catholic too. Nobody gives a shit that Amy Coney Barrett is Catholic, it’s the fact that her weird little cult was literally the inspiration for the Handmaid’s Tale.

this is a great post worthy of lengthy discussion and debate.

it is WAY too logical and nuanced for the current average American republican/conservative voter who literally cares only about libtard tears and 'fuck your feelings!' and thinks Joe fucking Biden is some sort of demonic bloodsoaked socialist.
