All the Republican senators will still vote against impeachment, and the only person who will be held accountable for this, is the GAO person(s) that Trump decided to fire over this story.
Meanwhile Trump supporters will add the GAO to their list of "deep state" enemies.
This isn't dirty politics, it's just childish politics.
Noone believes those are real photos, or that the Democrats are really working for Iran, it's just petty namecalling.
It doesn't really mater to them, because the goal of having the investigation, is to say that there is an investigation. They aren't really trying to find anything, they just want to cast doubt.
Trump does this all the time, if he thinks his opponents will accuse him of X, he accuses his...
I don't believe this even a little bit.
Pence is out there spreading obvious lies about Suleimani supporting 9/11, and we are supposed to believe their claim of an imminent attack ?
This attack was a really bad idea. He was certainly an enemy of the United states, but the public assassination of a foreign leader is an act of war, and a war between US and Iran is the last thing the world needs.
So he supports her because she's opposed to more American war's in the middle east, why exactly is that bad ?
It's amazing how much Tulsi gets smeared simply because she wants peace.
Good, I would agree with such a plan.
North Korea is a nuclear power, and the sooner we accept that, the better it will be for people in Korea.
You can laugh at Donald Trump for failing on his ridiculous boasts if you want, but I care more about the end result, and this is an end result I...
Because the quality of life for the average person is much better there. (shorter working hours, more holidays, universal healthcare, quality public education, longer maternity leave, guaranteed sick days, lower crime rates etc.)
"garbage" countries ?
Unless you are native American, it is almost certain that your ancestors were poor immigrants to the US as well, and the crime rates among current immigrants aren't any higher than they were among immigrants of the past.
I know what the video is suggesting, which is that recent increase in muslim immigration has caused an increase in crime, and that is true, but not for the reason most people assume. The immigrants aren't turning to crime because they are muslim, they are turning to crime because they are poor...
"no go zones" is just a new phrase for poor crime ridden neighborhoods, which exist in every country on earth.
Swedish crime rates are going up in recent years, and that is obviously a problem that needs to be solved, but for reference the murder rate in Sweden is ~1 per 100k, while the rate in...
I don't agree with her tweets, but nothing in there bad enough to justify removing her title. People are way too sensitive these days, and yet they seem to seek out things to be offended at, so they can pretend to be outraged.
Yes it proves that Trump is a liar, but that has already been proven 10000+ times over, and his approval rating is the same as it was before. If you want him to lose in 2020, and I certainly do, then you need a different strategy.
A story like this is not going to change anyone's mind. We all know Trump is a womanizer, that's not news to his supporters or his critics, and guilt by association is not a valid argument.
All this will do is create another partisan fight, which is the environment that Trump thrives in.
My concern is not that we have gone to far left, my concern is that some on the left have started to embrace divisive language, and that is not a winning strategy for the left.
In terms of policy the left is doing a fine job at the moment, and that's where the focus should remain.
Politically I am much closer to the "Squad" than I am to Trump, but I am worried that Trump's tactic of using the "Squad" to create divisions within the left will succeed, and could allow him to win a narrow victory in 2020.
There are people on the left who like to divide by race (identity...
The only way this could change anyone's mind about the tax bill, is if they did not understand that this was the goal of the bill. The whole point was to lower the tax rate on companies, and shift it to people living in blue states.
Most of the "collateral damage" from the drone strikes is somewhere in between on purpose and by accident. It's not done on purpose, in the sense that the civilians aren't the target. However, it's also not an accident, since it is usually known that civilians are in the area before ordering the...
Hillary doesn't seem to realize yet that most of the country, including large parts of the democratic base, do not like her at all, and that is putting it mildly. I guess she is still popular in the insider/fundraising circles she frequents, but the same is not true outside that bubble.
I hope...
I'm in favor, not because of which political party it might favor, which will probably change over time anyway, but because it will mean that presidential candidates can no longer ignore people in "safe" states.
I wouldn't work either if I was them. No pay, and a boss (Trump) who has made it crystal clear, that he doesn't give a shit about you. All in order to fund his political promises, except it was supposed to be paid for by Mexico, and it costs a lot more than $5B in any case, so he's basically...
I think this is a step too far even for the current congress and supreme court. Paul Ryan and Chuck Grasley both came out against this in a matter of hours.
No it didn't.
They were in their early 20s and partying. I partied in my early 20s, and I would guess you did the same. That's a normal part of life, and while it is certainly ok for friends and family to joke with each other about that, I don't think it's ok for a whole country to make jokes...
Having a big deficit when the economy is bad is understandable, that's what is supposed to happen. You put away money when times are good, and spend it when times are bad. That's true for individuals, it's true for companies, and it should be true for countries.
This however is a big deficit...
Kavanaugh stated under oath that he had never heard about the indecent exposure allegations before they were made public, but he was sending around text messages to friends about that allegations days earlier. Those text messages are direct evidence he lied under oath, but neither the...
Looks like the Republicans finished up their pretend investigation, and are ready to move on with the confirmation, and Machin might vote with them as well.
Might as well skip the confirmation hearings for future judges, clearly the senators are not paying attention to the information anyway...
To me his most obvious lie was the explanation he gave for what the "Rebate alumni" line in his year book meant. That was pure BS, and I don't think even his most ardent supporters believed that.
It's not related to the incident with Prof. Ford, but it does go to show what kind of person he was...
This is the exact kind of PC bullshit that helped Trump win, and that the media should really stop spreading.
People use colorful language sometimes, no matter what their job is, get over it.
No shit.
The point I was making is that Republican policies already won in the district, so what difference does it make whether the person has a D or an R in front of their name ?
