American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

BTW all this stuff about Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dismaying. If something happens to her Trump gets to nominate a THIRD justice! :open_mouth:

We don’t expect SHIT out of Donald Trump, the man/whiny little hoe bitch.

We expect, nay, DEMAND certain behavior from the POTUS.

Fuckssake.

Respecting the rank cuts both ways.

Why?

We NEED another Kavanaugh.

American can’t regress to Pre-Enlightment Europe levels of suffering without it.

Enlightenment is overrated.

Ignorance is bliss.

Just ask a Midwest Methhead.

They’re only the Fly Over States because that’s where the angels protectively flock.

Fuck a new Republic - what we need is a new Dark Age.

I mean Middle Age.

Can’t go having anything “dark” be of any prominence, unless unjust prison statistic or notches on a police man’s gun.

Another Kavanaugh can assure this for his constiuency/White Trash America.

Thing is, supreme Court nominee on aren’t supposed to be partisan. The fact that they are means our congress isn’t doing their job.

Indeed but them kicking the can down the road is having ramifications for other systems like the Supreme Court, making them have to function in ways they weren’t meant to.

If the the parties were actively having to defend lawsuits in regards to their gerrymandering, I wonder if it would curb them from doing it?

They already do, and it does not deter them.

Mostly because it is the govt itself that gets sued, so the govt picks up the cost, rather than the parties.

To the winner goes the spoils. Or to quote McConnell, “elections have consequences”. Victors get to write the history, and sometimes the rules of the game.

In response to

LOL funny part is some of the comments like most people I know voted for McShitty… yes you live in a bubble with people who are also stupiditly like minded. I know maybe 8 people who voted early like me and it was 7-1 Sinema.

Yeah Ducey has been shit, and that quote is a nice change of pace, but I wonder if he’s just saving face so when he inevitably does something incredibly dumb like post for pictures with white supremacist groups or wuss out on giving teacher’s raises, he can point to this and say “B-but I help both sides!”

I’m still amazed on how fast David Garcia’s campaign derailed. When you let someone like Ducey win the election not even an hour after polling closed that’s when you know you fucked up.

Honestly, I hope you’re right. If the numbers being presented are true, i’ll concede in that point and be pro caravan.

Obviously the numbers and stats vary between the source they’re being pulled from. Not to attack the source and call it a day, but I will have to delve into the methodology of the studies being cited in your articles. Ill probably only have the time to look into 1 actual study from each side.

Would have done this sooner, but had a 12 hour shift plus callback. Busy, but will get to it soon.

If you only have time for 1, I’d say the Cato Institute research is probably the most thorough. The Koch Brothers have been enabling right-wing nutjobs for years, but even their funded think tank appears to have done the research and been found wanting.

Yup just trump pushing a nothing narrative to scare racists

Natural birth involves less pushing, and more cohesive, sensible narrative.

EDIT:

Natural birth = a fetus transitioning out of its mother’s uterus into the world at large.

…just in case any Birthers or “Real Citizens”
misconstrue my intent.*

They are dumb like that.*

*Among other ways.

We live in a society now where someone can just spew literal fake propaganda out of they ass and get 8,000 people to share and 15,000 to like.

The damage the “right”, Fox, Trump, GOP and the like are doing is getting to a point of irreversible.

Meanwhile Trump who loves our Military… Couldn’t handle light rain? What a fucking joke!
