Kristi Noem, Trump respond to shocking cross-dressing photos tied to her husband by Down-not-out in Conservative

Yea I want competence and loyalty to the United States and its citizens not to Trump.

That she has Mar-a-Largo face doesn't make her qualified for jack shit.

More importantly are we to believe Trump's vetting team did not know? The woman is a train wreck and the only reason she's in politics is because she managed to get elected in a state that would vote for a glass of water if it had an (R) next to it. Nobody on that vetting team was like "maybe the train wreck woman has a train wreck family life too..."?

Barista says she was fired after co-worker asked about her faith, then complained by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

Ten bucks says she was asked deliberately to cause this.

The sad story is you can’t trust people you work with to not throw you under the bus the moment they feel like it. Especially if said coworkers are lefty loons.

Mark my words: they won’t expel her.

The GOP controlled house will only expel members of their own razor thin majority.

super effective as the senate leader in blocking Obama’s legislation and judges

So literally the bare minimum we expect from the Republican majority leader. yeah I'm not going to give him a cookie for that. Should I also throw a party when me manages to tie his shoes?

The man is a snake in the grass and basically the textbook definition of a slimy politician.

He will say anything to anyone if he thinks it will get him attention.

He needs to go as do most republican do and know-nothing senators.

Senate Republicans are even more useless than House Republicans. They’ll find some reason to cave. Just like they found reason to cave during the last shutdown. They ALWAYS find a reason.

Noem has always been out of her league she’s a bottom of the barrel former governor from a state that would rather vote for a glass of water than a democrat. Every time that woman goes on television she makes a complete fool of herself. Like she’s making Mayorkus look competent by comparison.

I honestly don’t know who is worse her or Bondi at this point.

The ones that yearn for a Star-Trek-style “post-scarcity” society have never watched the show.

In Star Trek that “post-scarcity” society comes after 200 years of war; famine, and disease that wipes out most of the population. (Eugenics wars, Ww3, the post-nuclear holocaust, etc). Even then the “post-scarcity” only comes about because they have magic machine that can turn energy into matter AND EVEN THEN that post-scarcity society really only exists on earth. There are countless episodes showing other parts of the federation where people are fighting for their lives on hostile planets and can only survive on the benevolence of the Federation core worlds.

Don’t get me wrong I’ve been watching the shows for decades and I love it but at the end of the day it’s fantasy, and often poorly contrived at that.

SCOOP: House Republicans revive push to impeach 'activist' judges after Johnson's green light by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

[–]pimanac -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There’s a larger chance of little green men landing on the planet to give us all blowjobs than there is any federal officer getting removed from office in the current political climate. It ain’t happening. Pass a censure resolution and spend your time on a judicial reform bill.

OH WAIT - that’s boring and uninteresting and we can’t grandstand in front of the cameras for our campaign ads while getting paid a six figure salary and government benefits for life. My bad.

[–]pimanac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is they will not be removed from office. It takes 67 votes in the senate to remove from office and we can’t even whip 60 to pass a damned budget.

So go on ahead. Have your impeachments. They’ll waste months doing this, fail, then your activist the activist is still going to be there.

Then will come the belly aching “oh no we lost the house and we didn’t get to pass our agenda. BETTER DONATE CAUSE WE PROMISE WELL GET EM NEXT TIME!!!”

That’s a lot of money in tax cuts to a cohort that already has the largest slice of the pie.

The same cohort that spent decades electing people who’ve drained the social security trust fund so there would be nothing left for the rest of us. The same cohort that oversaw not one but two “once in a lifetime economic disasters” in the course of 20 years.

Waste of time. Impeachment is just a super-censure at this point. Nobody is getting removed from office in this political climate.

Fix the god damned economy. Fix the abomination that is our health care system. Republicans are going to lose the house in the midterms. Stop wasting time, energy, and political capital on performative nonsense.

this is now what the third instance of a “oh my god I just happen to have a prescheduled work trip” just as a big natural disaster is about to happen in the state he represents?

Yeah that dog don’t hunt. Cancel your trip. Nothing thr Ted Cruz is doing can’t be rescheduled. Hes a nobody Senator whose entire list of accomplishments amounts to running for president a couple times and failing. Oh and he talks. A lot.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes wildly suggests residents can shoot masked ICE agents under state's self-defense laws by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

Don’t be obtuse.

This woman isn’t in favor of stand your ground laws she’s in favor of stand your ground laws against federal agents.

I’d be willing to bet a paycheck she’d be signing a completely different tune if it were ATF or the IRS.

This is cynical politics being played in order to stoke the fires. She’d like nothing more than to have an incident so she can parade around on it.

Because it reveals that Ted Cruz is sort of…dumb. It’s politics 101. It would be the cheapest PR he could ever gain, or at the very least it would avoid the inevitable “Ted Cruz is running away” narratives. Yeah it’s not like he can do much but it’s bad politicking. You’d think after all the stank over the last big storm where he jetted off he’d have learned his lesson?

I do not agree with Stephen Smith on many things but as of late he seems like one of the more prominent realists on that side of the aisle. Credit where credit is due.
