You didn’t answer my question: Did they earn it or not?

Amash’s parents emigrated here from Syria and Palestine. Are you seriously suggesting they didn’t “earn” it?

As someone who lives in his district, if anyone can switch to being an independent and get reelected, it’s him and it’s in his district. Most people you talk to here like him because he’s not just an unthinking cog in the political machine. The Republicans will certainly try to frustrate his campaign, and there will…

It’s simple really. People only want the rules to be followed when it means their person wins.

So you’d be totally fine with Republicans in Texas donating money to campaigns in Chicago. Good to know.

You’re right. A campaign where it’s openly obvious that people who don’t have a vested interest in the outcome of the election donating to one of the candidates is a big deal.

Meh, moderate political machinery Democrat vs Progressive propped up by nebulous out of state donors? Sometimes it’s best to stick with the devil you know.

Given that Caban’s campaign was funded by a majority of donors outside of Queens, maybe this isn’t actually a bad thing.

If you read the FAQ on 11foot8.com, they can’t lower it as there’s a sewer main that runs under the road they’d have to account for. Short of getting the rail company that owns it to raise the bridge, which would cost millions of dollars and result in trains not being able to get through for months, I think they’ve…

It’s not clear to me on what if any grounds this would ever make it to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court appeals happen either because the law isn’t clear on what the outcome should be, or because the law itself is unconstitutional, or someone’s Constitutional rights are violated, generally speaking. Trump doesn’t get…

Yes well if we lived in your fantasy world where all the guns can be banned and that will magically make everyone nice to each other, I might agree. Unfortunately, we live in the real world, and there are people out there that couldn’t give a shit less about whether you want to keep guns or anything else out of their…

Lol, there’s enough whitewashing there to paint over the mural Nick doesn’t like 100 times over.

They literally took a dump in a display toilet in the middle of a hardware store in one of the movies, so they definitely didn’t keep it to themselves, lol

Gee, it’s almost as if most law enforcement agencies want to have all the power that comes with being heavily armed while having zero responsibility toward the people whatsoever.

That’s a good point; you don’t want to use the exoskeleton that lets grandpa still jitterbug to lift and throw around dumpsters full of scrap metal.

Says the guy who was too unoriginal to do anything other than a parody account.

Unfortunately, the die had already been cast before any of the heinous shit Trump has done. Any time a previous administration refused to enforce laws on the books, they were already effectively testing the waters on presidential and in a broader sense, Executive branch power and whether or not the Executive could…

If we’re being honest with ourselves, short of Trump personally committing a violent crime on live TV, is there really much of a chance that anything he does would get him removed from office?

It only works if you aren’t too afraid of guns to own and use one.

I mean, there’s a simple and ingenious solution to that. More black people should register as Republicans. It’s not as if doing so forces you to vote for a Republican in the general election, and you can attempt to game the system to get a weaker Republican candidate nominated.
