yeah if he had said “legislator” that would be one thing, but there are plenty of lawmakers that are not in that branch.

He is also a teetotaler, and those people (save recovering alcoholics) shouldnt be trusted with anything.

Are you sure about that? I would imagine some people do pay their employees to appear on various shows (or at least reimburse any related expenses) since it raises their profile, but most of the “consulting fees” are paid for consultation (e.g., input in various forms). Think Tanks exist to draft and influence policy.…

I think part of the reason that some people were making Obama out to be much further left than he is, is because the poles on the right have moved sooooo far. What is now “acceptable discourse” in the GOP was once considered extremist, and too many in the DNC have been trying to stake themselves around the new center,…

I probably agree with you on this topic - just not so keen on the crazy generalizations about everyone that supported Bernie in the primaries/caucuses (not necessarily you but this is a sizable portion of the commentariat and the…

For someone that deeply craves attention, ignoring him is probably the biggest affront. More power to them.

Marrying KKK members, especially high-ranking ones, is probably also highly correlated with sadistic and violent behavior.

TL;DR:

“No True Scotsman...”

But, um “Party of Lincoln!”

X can always equal zero.

Is that not the very problem he is speaking to though?

People are already conflating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism, and I would imagine said comments probably do not help.

TFW, you realize you need to write a script to auto reply these posts:

Still hard to blame anyone for accepting a job (speaking of ScarJo of course) on what looks to be a really cool project that pays exceedingly well.

Your opinion < the law.
