You’re part of the problem

I don’t think Assad’s regime is help up by generating publicity, unlike the McGraw regime. Apples and oranges?

It’s just a violation of his contract and exploitation of his position of power to enter into an unequal relationship (and is enough to fire him on it’s own), but, sure, that doesn’t have anything to do with this.

No, please explain. That’s always been a mystery to me.

It seems well established that he had an affair with at least one, if not more, student(s), without disclosing it, and I’m guessing he wasn’t undergoing equity training because he won a raffle or had the best office Halloween costume. I think it’s fair to insist on the university conducting a responsible

That is beautiful

He was also a very polite and accommodating weed dealer, according to sources.

I’m not ruling out Shia Labeouf in a mask

It seems there is always some dude who is the Shining Star of Texan Football™ who inevitably flames out/underperforms/gets caught with a skanky hooker and is then dismissed, only to have YET ANOTHER white dude (they’re always white!) take his place....

Since we don’t have individualized voting records, we can’t look through and say, “well, in ‘08 and ‘12 the Coopers both voted for Obama, but this year Mr. Cooper stayed home and Mrs. Cooper voted Stein.” That kind of data is the only way we’d be definitely say if 3rd party votes were a net positive or negative for

So of 242,502 votes....not just over 13,000 would count themselves as progressive?

We still don’t have a good breakdown of how many of the “other” votes (Stein, Johnson, write-ins, etc) would have gone to Trump vs Clinton. As easy as it is to point to those voters as a main cause of Hillary’s defeat, until we know how many were nevertrumpers vs berniebros it’s hard to say how accurate that

They were’t really seen as people, even fractional ones. They just “compromised” at 3/5 for the purposes of calculating things like House districts and electoral college delegates. Or, in other words, how many bonus votes slave owners got.

Marquette, for example, had Clinton up by 6 in Wisconsin. That was very off.

I think he’s a bit of a populist. Always talking about “the people’s” this and “the people’s” that.

If it can proven that the Trump campaign engaged in illegal behavior with the Russians, then there are mechanisms in place to legally address the situation.

By “impose” I mean try to ramrod it through congress. Presumably he’ll have a few proxies in the house who will be willing to introduce even that kind of legislation for him, which could set the rest of congress down an obstructionist path. That’s the best hope I see for limiting the damage he does. Essentially,

We did, Annise Parker, who was the first openly LGBT mayor of a major city, but term limits kicked in, so now we’ve got Sylvester Turner, a cool black guy with a wooden watch.

Unfortunately I agree completely. I think the best hope is that his base keeps pushing for it, congress isn’t sufficiently deferential to him, and he doesn’tdrop it quickly enough to keep the relationship from souring. At this point, our best hope is delaying for two years and then putting in a Dem congress that can

Jesus, you sound just like a Trumpette would have if this had gone the other way. Go suck on your pacifier until you feel better, but until then keep your bullshit to yourself while the adults try to make the best of this situation.
