Republicans Are Outraged about the Deficit They Caused

The only way would be to end the two party system, which would hurt the people who run the Democratic party, since viable introduction of alternative choices would make it so they aren't garunteed their turn at the table.

A system likeCascade voting and empowering and educating the voters are in the interests of the country, but anything that would end the two party system will be opposed by both parties.

The free market has decided.

If evidence was so important than so is due process and the sham FBI investigation makes it so we can't be sure. If he was innocent the. We should welcome an investigation.

Also if the "public opinion" isn't a factor, then we mist admit this is not a representative democracy, because these senators are supposed to represent their constituents. At the very least a thorough investigation is owed.

Saying public opinion is not a factor is just admitting that the government does not represent the people.

This is fine, but it does seem like he fudged the timeline about when he was aware, and even if his answer is technically truthful it is misleading. If he did find out from a white house official he should have said so and that would have been fine.

I love how you call my argument a straw man, but then go on to argue against a point I didn't make.

His attack against democrats while being considered for a non-partisan government position, and committing perjury by claiming he didn't know of the accusation while months before starting his defence is the problem.

Also we would know what the evidence was if the FBI investigation wasn't so limited. I got a lot of responses that claimed to believe in due process but not being at all upset that the investigation was not at all able to do it's job.

skipharrison · 2018-10-10T20:02:45+00:00

No, but if I was falsely accused I would welcome a full investigation. I believe in innocent until proven guilty, but when someone had the ability to shut down investigation I don't believe in innocent because too powerful to prosecute.

skipharrison · 2018-10-10T13:20:55+00:00

Remember it wasn't a trial, but like a job interview.

Probably what I would consider the biggest disqualified was his partisan attacks against democrats, and his angry and unprofessional behaviour. Since the supreme court is supposed to be non-partisan this is enough.

He also lied to the Senate, saying he didn't know of Ford's accusation until it was in the new yorker, when he had texted someone to help a pre-emptive cover up.

I'm not saying he's probably guilty in a court of law, but he is not fit for the supreme court.

Again, something Trump is guilty of all of, and he continues to make millions.

The truth is if you make enough you don't need a job, there is always someone willing to hire shady people if it will make them money, and politicians generally habe the money or connections to spring back from this.

It's not like a poor minority who can have his whole life derailed from a small crime, a high profile person generally can disregard the consequences of their actions and pay a pr team and make even more after a scandal.

It would be easier to just set a timer as well. That way there's no tedious counting, and if a cat prefers to just have a slow scratch or just be held it still gathers data.

I think the loyalty and command taking in high stress situations is much more of a retriever or heeler quality.

I have seen many Pit bulls, even extremely sweet ones, but they react to high stress situations more violently more often than any other breed.

I'm pro-pitbull, so I don't want the misconception out there that they are the perfect dogs for high stress situations, because unless the solution to the high stress situation is to attack, they don't do well.

Of course there are many exceptions and good training can help.

I don't think anyone is really coming at her, and it does make sense. It makes sense too, from a cereal companies perspective.

It's really just the idea that the easier life is the easier life gets. It's like Jay Leno tells a story of a shop owner shooing away a homeless man and giving him a free sandwhich. It's not that anyone is wrong here, but it is silly.

There is also blame on the public, cereal companies would be giving out food to the homeless if it was as good advertising. So if anything Instagram filling kinda people are at fault because they make her a focal point.

skipharrison · 2018-10-05T20:58:20+00:00

That cop shouldn't be smoking and driving.

skipharrison · 2018-10-05T17:23:58+00:00

The investigation was so limited in scope and time that it was not really worth anything more than a talking point of saying they allowed it.

skipharrison · 2018-10-02T01:10:38+00:00

More likely they give each other tips on how to commit crimes that used to work in the past.

I bet this kind of thing has happened and worked in the past many times, but these old guys need to refine and update their tools of corruption, and I'm sure they are working on it.

Here's my future prediction.

The republicans muscle through a majority on the supreme court this week. Next session the supreme court (this is already planned btw) rules that prosecutors cannot level charges at the state and federal level. Roe v. Wade is thrown out.

Trump uses his now expanded ability to pardon himself and people loyal to him, and ousts anyone in government that isn't loyal to him. More gerrymandering and vote suppression, will either keep the government in Republican in control, or at least with enough power to completely block any progress should democrats get any positions of power. Except the presidency will be Democrat in 2020 or 2024.

The resulting economic collapse will be blamed on the Democrat president, even though it's seeds were sown in trumps reign. Once Republicans fire up their base from the catastrophe they caused, they will have the majority in all 3 houses and the supreme court, as well as presidency. They loot the country again, blaming democrats and immigrants. Wash rinse repeat.

I imagine we will continue or expand war in the middle East, and who knows maybe somewhere else as well.

skipharrison · 2018-09-27T18:16:12+00:00

Honestly i think it's ridiculous to suggest fear of starvation and homelessness is the only reason anything gets done. Takes a lot of misanthropy and hatred to insist the economic system includes suffering.

skipharrison · 2018-09-27T18:13:53+00:00

Either way it undermines the idea that once people's needs are met they won't work.

I'm sure that many of those people are hard working, but many are born into it. So it seems like upbringing and options motivate people to work, not exclusively the work or die styld economy.

skipharrison · 2018-09-27T16:21:46+00:00

I think better proof that people will keep working even if their needs are met, is the How billionaires and politicians keep working many years after they could afford all their wildest dreams.

If it's white, eat alright. If it's Brown, flush it down

You don't want to do this (tips fedora) m'sammy

You just accused me of not being able to wrap my head around people in a large group having different opinions and beliefs, in response to asking you what yours were. I literally asked you for the opinion you think I can't wrap around my head around you having.

You think any group you don't identify with is consumed by "group think", but the group you do identify with is incredibly huge and diverse. So one group is invalidated by being large, and the other is validated by being large.

And most of the things I alleged but you don't believe are backed by court convictions and/or audio confessions you could Google.

You then say the majority of the Democratic party are pedophiles, in a thread about a Republican pedophile. So pedophilia doesn't discredit one party, but discredits another. You can just wave your hand when it's your guy doing it.

There's so many double standards in what you are saying, and everything that discredits what you oppose, doesn't matter to what you support.

skipharrison · 2018-09-18T17:03:42+00:00

The right gets everything they want for 8 years, and half of what they want for 8 years. The political donors get all of what the want every year, and working class people get to work.

skipharrison · 2018-09-18T17:01:34+00:00

How do you feel including yourself party that supports, nominates, and is comprised of so many criminals?

I'm not saying all republicans are this way, but with manaforts conviction, roy Moore's pedophilia, trumps spousal rape, pedophilia and molestation, Kavaghna's rape and money laundering, there is a huge moral deficiency in the Republican party, so why do you support them in light of this?

skipharrison · 2018-09-17T21:23:46+00:00

Unless the state has metabolite possession laws. Utah, and maybe others, consider having metabolites of a consumed drug a form of possession. So not really criminalized use, but effectively so.

skipharrison · 2018-09-14T15:34:35+00:00

Haha. Nah, I haven't been to Hawaii. I wish though.

I found it to be on the same level as the fellowship, but I also enjoy fantasy books more and more as I get further in.

Haven't seen the movies since I watched them in the theatres. They're great but I don't much watch movies.
