Trumps base is already mobilized and has remained constant throughout his presidency. There is nothing he, or anyone else can do to have any real material affect on his bases support. Well I guess if he opened the borders to brown countries, codified legalized abortion, denounced god, and divorced Melania for Oprah…

Gun control legislation? Buh bye. Health care, climate change, infrastructure? Sorry, too busy with other shit that doesn’t help average Americans.

I think the general consensus is the delay had nothing to do with “getting their ducks in a row”, and everything to do with fear of the political consequences.

I didn’t know indifference was the same thing as being bigly mad. The “So” was to communicate that I don’t think that the differentiation that person was trying to make was important. The ABA is a conservative organization, an ABA tax-journal on this topic is relevant, and the fact that the contributor is a law…

I think your being pretty generous to Pete. Buttered toast is the perfect accompaniment to the rest of my grease filled hang-over plate, and buttered sour dough toast is just good in its own right.

The mechanics of getting it passed are separate and distinct from the politics of getting it passed.

1) That article is not by the ABA. It’s by a UT law professor and published in the ABA’s tax journal.

That is a distinctively separate and different issue than the constitutionality of such a Tax. Don’t conflate the two and I won’t either.

I’d take that bet. I don’t think there is anything more to her reluctance than fear of giving Trump the same boost Clinton got during impeachment. I think she makes decisions based purely on political strategy and cares nothing for “moral” actions. She was around for the Clinton Clusterf, and she seems to think the…

I’m sure conservative mouthpieces already have a bunch of circular bullshit logic to support that view waiting in the wings, especially now that Sanders is also proposing one.

Better pray for a blue tsunami; because, a wave will just get filibustered. 

I have stopped thinking there was a line Trump could cross that would bring consequences, and apparently so has Trump. He just don’t care about even trying to appear legitimate anymore. His strategy of just call it “fake news”, or “if I did it, so what?!” keeps working, so why would he act any differently.

Likely because there is more to this story than is public. It is not because a Texas prosecutor went easy on a black boy accused of rape.

Sexual assault is serious and not to be treated lightly, that said, black boys are never allowed to be children. That’s not to say what he did would be ok if he was a child (he was). Only that your headline paints the picture of a man, being a pedophile and assaulting children (Minors). When in reality he was 15 and…

I think it was him editorializing a retweet and not tweeting in the third person, again.

This is the kind of thing where half assed implementation results in unintended consequences that suck for all parties involved. I would love this to be a thing, but my guess is it would just result in people getting paid less.

Coaches brain is usually easily explained as simple lack of confidence. That lack of confidence might be in players, scheme, or play calling. Eventually, in any close NFL game there is going to be a situation where the opponent is going to know what’s coming (hopefully only in general terms and not specifically what…

You keep reality out of this!

I think we’ve all seen enough of her to safely say, “She is not any year’s version of Obama”.

“Writing a Letter” has become comedic short-hand for shaking your fist at the sky. I.e. a Demonstrative action that accomplishes nothing. So, what I’m saying is this letter should replace the Donkey. #primarythem
