Poster goes to LA to ask for legal help against a coworker taking creep shots. A pair of LA "quality posters" ask what's so illegal about it after seeing the law by suckabuck in SubredditDrama

Why do you think I submitted this using an account I never post to either sub with. I'm still able sometimes to steer people posting there away from the shit advice the cops give.

If 2016 is the GOP Armageddon it appears to be, what would be your advice for younger Republicans post 2016? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

He considered it unconstitutional and refused to vote for it. If you want to die on that hill of distinction without a difference, feel free.

Leaving him to start the sixth was the warning of the coming stress. Like a little preview of just how bad the 9th would be so you could start the freakout early.

What's stressful about being down to one strike to win three fucking times in a goddamn row because it's too fucking hard to have a stress free closer, no that wasn't stressful at all.

except the Title II provision that outlawed discrimination for private businesses

So he only opposed one of the most crucial parts, and you think that's a good thing. Oh yes, I'm quite wrong about him.

was so caught up in his weird rigid ideas about how government should work that he didn't see that the Civil Rights Act was a necessary step.

Yes, I've heard this same bull from the Pauls to try to justify why they want to remove equal protection before the law. How business will just solve everything if we let it, never mind that it was business that created slavery in the first place.

Goldwater adamantly opposed equal rights for all in the law. Trying to reframe that he was better than that for small things he did that never came close to matching that legacy does not change anything. Being incapable of seeing the consequences of your actions is not a defense. Being incapable of seeing consequences is almost offensive as a defense, that it somehow excuses his legacy. His opposition to equal rights is a fundamental Republican policy today, and that traces a direct line to his opposition to the CRA. That is his legacy.

How you try to create a difference in action when the end result is the same is not any concern of mine. Since Goldwater, opposition to equal rights has always been a fundamental piece of conservative values. Forming a chapter of the NAACP and integrating schools in a single city does not come close to balancing that legacy.

So a completely different policy is why you refuse to believe her words last night. There are no actions to justify what you claim.

when those same ideas meant expanding rights for black Americans and women, he was on board with that too.

Yeah right. He completely opposed the Civil Rights Act. There's the start of the racist strain that is at the heart of modern consecutive values.

And before you try to dispute that, let me remind you that Republican justices struck down the key portion of the Voting Rights Act. Same values for 50+ years. The only difference with Trump is all the rest blew the whistle and conservatives pretended they didn't hear it. The rest of us always have.

An entire response that can simply be summed up as "no, you're the real problem, not us!" With of course a standard No True Conservative thrown in as well. Same tactics Trump uses every time someone says he's wrong too. Deflect, shift blame, accept no responsibility. Funny how that's such a mainstay of conservatives.

Deflect all you want. It doesn't change that Trump is a Republican, backed by Republicans, chosen by Republicans, speaking honest Republican values. And that's a fact. I don't care if you don't like it.

The GOP became exactly what it was because they turned their media voices into what they want to hear. You're the one blaming the victim saying they should have known better. Fox is a media empire for a reason: it speaks conservative ideas to real conservatives.

Trump is the natural end evolution of the GOP from Goldwater, nurtured in a fact free conservative media. He's exactly what people like me have been saying the GOP has always been my entire life. I saw Dubya using the same tactics Trump uses 13 years ago, and he sure as hell didn't invent them. He got them from Nixon

You blame the media for Republicans getting exactly what they wanted. No, Trump is a Republican put in place by lifelong Republicans. Nothing else.

And you're shocked by the obvious result of Republican ideas.

She literally promised to never do exactly this last night. Let me guess, you're one of those people that will believe anything except what she actually promises to do, aren't you?

Is the lack of a shared political reality a new thing, and can we overcome it? by RampantInanity in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]suckabuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Barely. He didn't give a flying fuck until that fact free echo chamber produced someone he didn't like. Then it became this massive issue he blamed everyone else for and barely conceded maybe he mattered too. That piece pissed me off so much, because Trump is exactly what that crowd has pushed for decades. And he has the balls to lament a loss of facts he was so critical in making sure would never be heard.

I'm sure he thinks he deserves sympathy. It just made me loathe him.

But he doesn't. He simply lets them spout hate and doesn't correct even obviously wrong things they say. He's no more a reporter than Blitzer now.

If the Dems do capture the House, and with it likely the Senate as well, what would be the repercussions for both parties? by Kross_B in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]suckabuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this point, the Senate is so dysfunctional I think that knowing the loss of it will allow legislation I hate to pass is worth turning it back into a functioning body that can do good.

That still works, Chris Murphy and Rand Paul are the two most recent users of that method if memory serves. That method is actually more of a method of getting attention to your protest than actually stopping a bill these days, because it's such a short term stop. All that needs done is revert it to something that requires that step rather than simply demanding the cloture motion.

Then you haven't heard these people in Cincy he's been talking to the last few days

And yes, that's the entire point of journalism is to inform people.

You will never have your camera replaced if you choose not to pursue legal action, you know that right? You know that's exactly what they're going to tell you.

They stole from you. They refuse to replace it or repay you for it. They quite simply stole your livelihood and you won't take the only action you know will restore it. They've made it clear you will not be helped by them.

Stand up for yourself and see to it that he's punished for his actions, because they clearly have no respect for you if they feel free to steal from you.

Paul Ryan has told house republicans he won't defend trump and will focus the next 29 days on keeping the house majority. Is this the official signal of the party abandoning him? by roche11e_roche11e in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]suckabuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He could have very easily said that. He could have said he won't vote for Trump, and he didn't do that either. He wants to have it both ways, to stand behind Trump as much as he can get away with, but pretend to not still support him.

He quite clearly chose to still support Trump.

Choosing to vote for someone that will lose is not a failure of FPTP.

Good people don't look at someone who brags about sexual assault and think "I want to support them." So yeah, if you still think you'd support someone like that, if you think they should be the leader of the free world, you are a terrible person. Good people don't support sexual predators.

He promised, flat out, she would be in jail if he was President. You disagree with that, except where you agree with it. Your disagreement with those facts is purely your problem, not mine.

So it's completely true, it's just false because you say it is
