If ten different people tell you that you’re crazy, it’s really easy to see the pattern in their reasoning. And so far the reason is because I’m a privilege, bad person who lacks empathy. Which wouldn’t make me crazy or delusional.

If they get 60 votes, it’s because 8 Democrats crossed the aisle. The one part all of us who benefit from the ACA forget is that it’s not super popular, and we do live in a Democracy. Fortunately, we should keep the pre-existing conditions clause that is by far the biggest benefit people have used (though it’s also…

The fear you’re experiencing will settle down pretty soon.

I’m sorry. I apologize for not considering you as a government employee. Yes, your life is affected by Trump, and then a bunch of other bureaucrats with no idea of what people like you do. I’m looking at the biggest picture, but every little ripple has effects.

If all that happens, please understand that I’ll know I’m wrong. Don’t feel like you have to make a special appointment to come back here and tell me how things are going.

Nah, Trump is in a far less stable position than GW Bush in 2002. Because Trump squeaked through, people have forgotten the GOP is in tatters. Also, we only know of one SCOTUS judge, who is replacing Scalia, so there’s no way his replacement will be more conservative. Plus the Dems aren’t going to let his appointments…

Obama had 59 Dems in the Senate and like 8 or 9 GOP willing to cross the line. Of course, that’s because the GOP was lying the whole time. If McCain had won, they’d have passed the stimulus too.

I hear ya. I’m just saying 2002 was worse, and even times where the President has a huge majority, like Obama’s the first two years, it’s hard to get anything done. Our system is designed to not get things done, which helps this time and hurts the next time we get a decent Presbo.

And there’s 700 miles of fence already, plus we heavily subsidized Mexico’s crackdown on refugees crossing their Southern border. Obama was by far the most strict President about deportations ever. During the economic downturn, more people were moving to Mexico from here than the other way.

Of course. Those poor border towns. I don’t think there’s one that isn’t the suburb or a larger Mexican city. Their whole economies come from access to Mexico. And they’re all low crime, working class, heavily Hispanic areas where you need to speak Spanish to do business.

There’s already fences in 70% of where the wall will go.

It should be noted- Donald Trump did not arrest any protesters. The federal government did not arrest any protesters.

Are you under the impression that the rest of the GOP would back Trump trying to become dictator? No...he’s the most unpopular President within his party since...since so long ago that if was before we polled those things. He is facing a Democratic Senate that will not give up their right to filibuster. There are 50…

Everything he does can be looked up on the White House site.

I don’t think I’m crazy. The GOP can’t repeal Obamacare until they have 60 votes in the Senate. Free speech is still protected by the 1st Amendment. Executive Orders like Trump is doing go right into the court system, like when Obama’s EO’s last spring got overturned. Science is still being funded from the same…

President Obama had a supermajority at one point. 60 Senators. He had the Senate until 2012. He couldn’t get anything through because of filibusters, the same thing Dems will do for the next four years. All of us Dem voters just had our opinion on the filibuster changed. The GOP only has 52, so they’ll never get…

Do people still not realize that life isn’t going to change that much? You’d think after Obama has so much trouble getting anything done that we’d all realize that the President doesn’t have unlimited power.

She definitely didn’t. I can see where it’s a little confusing though since she has no reason to apologize. They brought a new voice to everybody and kept diversity in mind when writing the show. It’s a shame they don’t feel good about what they’ve shown instead of guilty.

Why are the ridiculous amounts of money women of color have to spend on hair accepted by the feminist/liberal/Democrat community? People who are more likely to be poor, and a group who gets the worst of it in business, spend thousands on extensions, and the reaction is mostly that it’s fabulous.

The cabinet appointees can’t be filibustered. They are a straight up 51 vote. We changed the rules because of GOP obstruction in 2013.
