It looks like maybe the Democrats have the issues. When you rig your primary to insure the candidate most hated by all conservative voters is guaranteed the nomination and then wonder why you lost that's called the issue of self delusion. No matter how bad Trump acted. No matter how rude and obnoxious. No matter what dirt was dug up on him. They still lost the election because they picked a bad, bad candidate and when an outsider challenged her they cheated and undercut him in any way they could. All so they could run the Queen. Well they ran her and Americans rejected her. The only people they have to blame are themselves. I'd be willing to bet there were hundred of other politicians they could have run with and won but they wanted the most corrupt one they could find that wasn't in jail at the moment.
I know the Democrats in Georgia tried their hand at gerry-mandering years back when they ran the state house in Atlanta. They ended up with a Republican majority in that house a decade later. Now they bitch about the Republicans gerry-mandering. I'm not too crazy about the process but it's not a one sided thing.
Hopefully they'll at least have enough sense to realize that they can't continue to suck everyone dry. When you take away hope you're left with a bunch of people with nothing to lose. If you have too many of those people then sooner or later they'll erupt. We're not there yet but we're headed down that road. In another decade it could start to get dire.
I'm a conservative and the Republican party isn't anymore. The worst thing to me about Obama was the fact that he wasn't even a good liberal. He pushed a lot of the bad ideas that many Republicans support. Those ideas that lobbyists pay to have shoved on the American people. I at least hoped that President Obama would try to repeal the worst of the disgustingly badly named "Patriot Act." May the cocksucker that originally called it that burn in Hell. One of the most unpatriotic things ever and one of the reasons I did not vote for Bush in 2004. Modern Republicans aren't conservatives. Conservatives don't grow government.
I have a male friend who won custody of his son after a 2 year long and expensive court fight. His ex had taken up with a guy who was running a meth lab in the house with the 5 year old boy and his mother living there. The sheriff's department raided the house and arrested everyone there including the mother. Her boyfriend manned up and covered for her claiming she didn't know the lab was there and since she had a 5 year old the prosecutor chose to buy the story. Almost 20 thousand dollars in legal fees later the boy's father got custody. He had a good attorney because it was a near thing.
Yes he did. And he destroyed it by how he used it to cram the AHCA through with no compromise. He didn't have to compromise so he rammed it in and laughed when the Republicans bitched. Then he wondered why he suddenly had to deal with a Republican majority in Congress that did their dead level best to cripple his presidency. If Trump pulls that same crap he'll suffer the same fate as Obama.
I can't see why anyone would care. The very last people I listen to about politicians are actors and musicians. If you're voting for someone because Jay-Z says so then you're imbecilic. If you do it because Ted Nugent says so you're imbecilic. You should vote for the person that most nearly reflects your beliefs in how the country should be governed and that you believe will be able to accomplish that.
I love you people. You're every bit as entertaining as the idiots who ran around screaming about Obama when he was elected. Have a little faith in the system, it's worked for over two centuries. Obama shoved bad shit through when first elected and the backlash was he had to work with a Republican majority in Congress. If Trump starts going all right wing he'll wind up drowning in Democrats. I expect to see him undo the worst of Obama's policies and then hopefully he'll sit down with ALL of Congress and try to work on things. If not, he'll end up in a war with the other side just like Obama.
The oil is going to move regardless of method, Keystone or not. The pipeline is the safest method of doing that transport. I'm all for forcing the people that make money off the pipeline pay for any cleanups but lets not pretend running oil by rail is an improvement.
I can see your point. It's just I'm tired of this constant drive to lighten and thin everything. I'd rather have more battery and more power than a thin computer. More weight is a good trade off in my opinion for longer battery life and a big screen I don't have to squint at. I'm pissed that Apple doesn't see fit to produce a new 17" model despite all the people clamoring for it.
What's with the flag burning though? I remember all the butt hurt about Obama getting elected by some of the radical right. It's was silly and stupid but no one burned flags. Why is it liberals love pyromania?
Meat production in the US is geared toward taste not nutrition. Here they raise beef cattle on grass but feed them out on a mix of mostly corn. Corn fed beef are very tender and tasty. People tend to buy things based on cost and taste for their table. I would never deny anyone the right to buy what they wish for their own consumption and tend to view food Nazis as an annoyance. I don't understand why people can't mind their own fucking business.
Most of what I see in my grocery store is from Brazil and Chile. We do get California peaches when they're out of season here but they have no taste at all. I don't know what they do to them but they don't ship well.
I was under the impression that the secession from the Union thing was settled back in the 1860's. If I recall a few million Americans died in the process.

It's George Bush's fault.

It's just the start though. If something doesn't change things will get worse and people will get angrier. This is just the start.

Show me a perfect government. It's largely worked okay for the majority of people. Perfection has to wait until the afterlife.

Especially if the guys with explosives are idiots. That's just what you need, not!

It was rigged by the people who wrote the Constitution.
Good point. Let's let them pay for their choices too. Everyone wants freedom to choose but they want someone else to pay for the consequences.

I heard the head dude in Canada already called Trump. Seems he's not all that happy with NAFTA either and wants to discuss some big changes.
Trying to unfuck it. It may not work but at least I tried.
Just because you're a pussy that can't carry a 12 pound computer doesn't mean anything to the rest of us.
Reminds me of a 3 year old throwing a tantrum because they didn't get a toy they wanted in Walmart.

Some of the strictest sheriffs in the wild west were former outlaws. Who better to hunt tax cheats than an expert.
