American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

Please go back to my post a short while back on what the economy shit actually means…

Life support? They are 80% to win back the house and will likely be 50/50 in senate and if they win TX or TN they will be 51/49 but they only have a 25% shot to pull that off.

Your people not wanting a chronic liar like Trump to not have a balance to his check is the problem. I said before Liberal tears would be worth more than Gold. You guys really would give your life for a oz of it.

Like I thought you were Starhammer but he ignored EVERYTHING that forced him to get off the YouTube bubble he lived in.

I’m not in a bubble. I look at CNN and MSNBC from time to time when I want a chuckle. I even hate-listen to NPR while driving to work.

If the dems were serious about protecting Roe v Wade they would be mobilizing to protect abortion rights on the state level. Instead they are talking about impeachment proceedings a.k.a. more political theater. This was never about abortion rights or wahmen, dems just trying to get revenge.

Things aren’t looking good for Phil Bredeson in TN. All this Kavanaugh business plus Blackburn publicly fellating all things Trump as pushed her ahead by about 8 points even though she’s a major league scumbag and pretty much everything wrong with Washington. And they say women would do a better job were they to run everything… :laughing:

That theory requires Ford to have time travel to go back in time and plant evidence multiple times where she had raised this concern, to have crazily exact knowledge of where Kavanaugh’s own calendar confirms him to be drinking on a weeknight with the people Ford noted…

Your hot take is laughable.

Gorsuch would have been revenge, but he was a decent pick so got in. Kavanaugh was a shitty fucking pick, and if your SCOTUS justice issuing threats and spouting conspiracy theories during his prepared remarks in his session with Congress wasn’t disqualifying I got nothing because you just don’t care. Kavanaugh has no particular abstract value over any other conservative Heritage Foundation approved candidate from that list: ramming him down the body politic just “because you can” is fucked up.

The Dems are not going to win back the Senate. The fact they have a 20% chance is amazing really given they have only a handful of seats they can actually win while losing North Dakota for sure. A 50/50 split is the best likely outcome and even that is fine. They not only need Heller to lose but perform a miracle and take TX or TN which is why the odds are low AF.

They Dems will reclaim the house almost for sure with a nice majority as well but again who knows as Polls don’t really count for shit.

At least if the Dems take the house its something that can put Trump in some kind of check which is important for a democracy to thrive. I don’t want legit obstruction like what the GOP did to Obama. I want things like infrastructure passed and moved along as that helps everyone. Though I expect a gridlock and the “revenge” you claim and while I would not like that it would at least be warranted.

So instead of Wheres Waldo they can make a series called Wheres the diversity with a photo from every Trump rally he has…

With those boots and heels? No questions asked.

You right Reps and independents DGAF because Ford ain’t got shit and the Dems pushed her forward anyway. It was clearly a delaying tactic. Anyone outside the libtard bubble can see it. And it has backfired spectacularly. I just hope Creepy Porn Lawyer makes a run in 2020.

By that statement, you’re implying that because of the lack of “hard” evidence, her testimony was a useless opportunity and would not have changed any minds. I sure hope this works the same way for issueing policies affecting finance and the environment.

Ford was going to continue the production of the Focus as a crossover-ish vehicle in China. Those tariffs made it easier just to kill it.

Nah making shitty trade deals then making private prisons to make money and creating even more incarcerated individuals to be housed in private prisons

This whole presidency is a joke and so much money wasted on trump taking his weekly vacation

Seriously nothing about this run has benefitted me and if you are being honest this whole cabinet has ran on “owning libtards” while doing nothing but selling the us to top bidders

Layoff and more factory closures is somehow winning

Even MORE publically funded privately owned prisons?

Where oh where are they going to get the new prisoners to act as unpaid slave labor for the corporations who had these prisons built in the first place?

Who are the new “criminals” going to be?

What are the new “laws” going to be?

1 out of 100 U.S. “citizens” are already serving their lives away, corporate slaves in prison.

Where is the next line in the sand to be drawn, so our government’s Banker Overlords can cull even more of the populace into incarcerated enforced free labor?

What’s the new crime going to be?

My money is on poverty.

Minor improvements are still improvements. Deal with the hand you are dealt.

Agree US prison system is shit but you can thank Clinton and three-strikes legislation for the astronomical growth in the prison industrial complex. Although if Trump goes ahead with legalizing cannabis that will reduce the prison population drastically.

How about not getting hit with a Korean nuke you whiney bitch?

You saw the article that Trump thought that North Korea had launched nukes because he barely understood the show he was watching, right?

Graham: I became his ally because he’s a fucking moron who would kill us all if not watched closely.

Again, it’s just an extremely partisan Republican saying this shit.

Trump is a fucking idiot in one of the most dangerous positions in the world. You can still be a conservative without needing to support him.

Is this a thing?

He’ll probably save it for when he’s up for reelection

Graham has done quite the about face RE Trump. Makes me wonder if Trump has something on him and is blackmailing him. I suspect Graham might be gay but who knows.

I was a Trump hater too but can’t argue with results. His achievements in the first term will include:

  • Peace on the Korean peninsula
  • Creation of Space Force
  • Lower taxes
  • Strong border control to protect lower class workers
  • Strongest economy in decades

Likely be adding legalization of cannabis to that list and 4 more years are inevitable.

Now I know you are trolling.

This may be the only one I will say worked out.

Has not been created in the way stated. The Air Force Space Command was created back in the early 80s. Rumsfeld brought this up before in Bush II’s cabinet before. Trump signed an act recreating the US Space Command. This will not be a new branch of the US armed services as it will be composed of two (or more) branches of the military (US Cyber Command is a good example). This is more of a command and control strategic operation.

In the short term. The CBO did publish the numbers showing that taxes will begin increasing for most Americans around the year 2025. Here is the publication:

I need a source on this

Trump is one of the 3 presidents in the last 60 years not to inherit a certified economic downturn. It’s more realistic that he just got lucky and we’re still (in some ways) getting the ripples from Obama’s administration. He just needs to keep things in their respective lane and the ship will ride it out.
