You want to play that game? Fine. ‘Religious liberty’ and TRAP laws for guns then. It’s my sincerely held religious belief that tools whose sole purpose to kill or injure shouldn’t be within 1000 feet of any standing structure, and forced transrectal ultrasounds before any purchase or sale of a firearm.

Yeah, I’ve noticed their frothiness in regards to Iran too.

It would have been nice if some on the ball reporter had played it up like it really was another person and vaguely asked questions about Trump’s horribleness to watch him criticize himself.

I’m guessing he stepped in it by committing to pulling out of the deal if Congress can’t renegotiate. This seemed like a manicured move to be able to go to his supporters and claim like he fulfilled a campaign promise, while at the same time not doing something highly damaging to the country. And then he had to pull…

It’s already Trumpcare. It was Trumpcare the moment he stepped in office and became responsible for the welfare of the Amercan public.

I could totally see all of these points being hit in a conversation as they were actively being shot down, though probably not in the order they’re in. Like, it starts off with them asking your opinion on the NFL protests (so they can give you their opinion), and then when you don’t agree with them progresses through…

Control of the narrative which they can use to prime them for 2020 the way R’s used Obama as a foil. If they’re savvy they can use it to get some of their agenda through too. It’s tough to veto VA or infrastructure spending even if CSRs are attached to it.

yup

Hmm, not sure, there were a lot. The ones I thought were the best were the straight sarcastic “So much economic anxiety on display here” ones.

Reminds me of a Doug Stanhope bit (paraphrashing):

Couldn’t find the graphs, but there was one done on approval of Russia that essentially showed the same thing. Democrat voters stayed pat throughout where there was a clear spike in Republican voter approval once Trump started fawning. There might have been one on intervention in Syria too.

That’s not necessarily true. Trump could potentially step in it repeatedly again by casting a spotlight on it, promising progress they don’t have, and sticking an arbitrary clock on it. Then they’ll cravenly ram through some sort of ramshackle monstrosity that hurts everybody (except the exceedingly wealthy) for the…

Or when whatever ramshackle plan they barely ram through their chamber in order to alleviate the bad press their dysfunction is bringing gives tax cuts to (((globalists)))

“When it does, we must be able to count on the foot soldiers of the conservative movement to see this through.”

1. I watched every Browns game on film last season and not once did I feel that this team was a joke. It was simply a rebuilding club that lacked talent in too many areas.

Yup. What I was gonna post immediately upon reading the title

Why don’t you call him and ask?

I wouldn’t have kneeled with Kaep to start, if that’s how he wants to protest, cool, but not really how I would have gone about it. Once it became a thing, 50/50, but definitely showing support. Once Trump got involved, I’m kneeling. Once the owners/Goodell start mandating standing, I’m kneeling every time I see one…

The president of the United States reportedly sided with Hannity, a guy best known for spinning conspiracy theories and doing MMA.

His show was really good. He would have been a good on air talent for them for years. If this is the (main) reason Farrow left/wasn’t re-signed, then NBC fucked up good.
