Mueller Report Imminent

[Weezer]

One candidate out of thousands presenting his transcript is a precedent? No, it is a non pariel. There is a difference.

I don't think you know how precedents work. Nixon was the first President to release his tax returns, thus establishing a precedent. It's not a law. There is no legal mandate that tax returns must be released. Precedent simply means it's been done before.

Don’t be discouraged by people who put on airs to try to score points on the imaginary politics forum scoreboard.

FWIW, I disliked Obama because of the proliferation of drone strikes, several instances where his admin suspended the writ of habeas corpus, reliance on executive orders to bypass congress, failure to close Guantanamo, failure to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and (although I didn’t otherwise) ballooning government spending. I’m sure there are others but I voted for McCain and Romney.

Despite all that, I’m widely regarded as a skeezy liberal around here, so yeah, I wouldn’t worry one wit about whether your opinions are sufficiently based on fact to satisfy the peanut gallery. A) Few of their will be and B) They’ll never be satisfied anyways.

You forgot slimy no account activist lawyer

Just skip past the seems and feels if it bothers you. This is me, an average American and how i felt when Obama was president. I didn't study politics in school, Just my perspective of what was going on with social media then and now.

As I recall, they were afraid that people would take their guns-- sales went up, lots of criticism about Obama being fake because he shed tears over kinderqarten kids, which was what was truly moronic. Conservatives Mock Obama For Crying About Newtown School Shooting | HuffPost

I am definitely not racist. if Person of color is a racist term, I had no idea. When looking up if it is acceptable, the answer is yes-- but I won't ever use it again.

You do seem like what an average everyday person in this country is like , except for the PC stuff . Most people that I’ve met including myself doesnt worry about the offending everyone with the way you speak nonsense . I’ve found when there is no malice in your words when talking to people , you don’t have to worry about the PC garbage . I’ve never referred to anyone as African American , I won’t and refuse to . That goes for anyone or any group . You either are American or your not . Same goes for POC I’m not going to do it . I refuse because it separates people from other people . I don’t call a group of white people “People Of Whiteness “ . I’ve been all over this country Canada and Mexico I’ve never had one problem with PC .

LMAO at people of Whiteness. I've never had a problem, either. but you do make a good point. I do know that there is division there by observing and reading. In the political forum, you don't know who you are going to offend.

It became a precedent because other politicians emulated Nixon. A non pareil is a one off event unrelated to other things or done by others. Did Booth create a precedent on how to treat Presidents who go to the theater? No, his action was a non pareil. if no one else releases college transcripts, then Bush's action is technically not a precedent but a non pareil. Anything else I can clarify for you?

I have to disagree with giving trump a goid economy when obama literally said tge economy could never get to tge point it got under trump. That's actually the one thing I lije about trump, best economy in my lifetime.

Nobody disagrees that the economy is really good under Trump. If he would just stay off the Twitter and quit being such an ass....

Obama did give him a good one, unlike Bush when everyone was losing their homes (I recall pages and pages in the Newspaper of foreclosures)

 

[JCP201]

I pick at some Republicans too, but most choose to ignore those posts or pretend they don't exist. Most of my posts picking at Democrats are over their outrage about Trump. It's over the top, IMO, so yeah, I call it out.

Trump is loud and pompous, so you know where he stands. Other than his taxes, he doesn't hide who he is very well. There's nothing subtle about him. Obama, on the other hand, was a true politician. In this country, there has long been an under current of a black vs. white struggle. Obama fed that. He was in the unique position to get people to realize how little skin color matters, that people should be measured by who they are, not the color of their skin, but he decided to go the other way and highlight the racial divide for popularity points. He did nothing to actually break down racial barriers and unite this country. Instead, he pushed harder at the divide. Obama had the chance to do something truly great, but he didn't. I've never expected greatness from Trump, so I'm not disappointed. That's why I consider Obama a worse President. His failure was greater.

And Obama never embraced anyone other than his base either. Think of his most famous soundbites. Most highlighted sticking it to the right in some way. And his base ate it up. "Elections have consequences." The left cheered. Trump gets elected and they all cry out.

The left acts as if Trump playing to his base is a horrible thing, yet never complained when Obama did the same. Then it was great. That's why I hate politics. I've said it over and over. Each side holds the other side to a standard they themselves do not adhere to. It's hypocrisy to the nth level.

Maybe many have those people on ignore. I only have one guy on ignore and it's from the football forum. Should possibly use that feature more.

I see a true divide in our country-- Republican vs. Democrat. People are more openly racist. It feels like we have went backwards and crazy left and right are getting louder while the average guy is silenced. I also need to see the diplomacy from our President.

I just want someone normal again.

“People of color “ is racist. We stopped calling people colored a long time ago. Stop using racist language.

D@mn right! It is backwards at the very freaking least. We got rid of that in the 1960's and people want to bring that BS back like it's cool -un freaking believable. Slaves in the mental plantation of liberalism.

Are people becoming more racist or did the race card being applied so often lessen its effect and people are denying that everything and everybody is racist now ? Think about it , you can’t use something that often and it not loose its meaning . It’s the same as using evil , Hitler , Omg , the F -bomb to name a few . The more you say these things the less value they carry . Somethings should be used very sparingly and with great reserve .
Edit : I have no idea if it’s Effect or Affect never have been able to decide . Smh

Don't give in to the safe space of "ignore" unless someone threatening, constantly uses the 4 letter word language. That stuff is not allowed. Differences of opinion should not be the reason. You talk about a country divided yet openly conveys you should use "ignore" more. Which conscience will you listen to?

I don't agree with a lot people say on both sides yet I don't have anyone on ignore.

Good question to think about. For example, Biden is defending himself for something he did a hundred years ago.
You watch MAD MEN, and know women endured that in those days but now, it seems like men can't even flirt anymore. How do people find a mate? Go on Matchmaker online?

So I'm with you there.

Like I said, only one guy-- can't tolerate constant VOLS bashing and pretending like you are just being truthful when you know it's a Bama troll.

We need diversity in this forum. It's a good thing. I will admit, I don't care for the way Luther gets treated. He has a different opinion but tries to always be respectful for the most part. Maybe it doesn't bother him, but so many people in the past get run off because they don't follow the gang. (I have felt similar about Republicans trying to post in Democratic forums) If putting someone on ignore helps get us different opinions, then I'm for it.

'Unmasker in Chief' Samantha Power spewed anti-Trump bias in government emails

 

[GVF]

Brilliant idea. The American people should start pounding there local rep offices, dmending this nonsense cease, that their rep goes to work for them for a change, and that all legal fees be reimbursed to the budget and taxpayer thru private fundraisers.

Then the public should demand that congress institute time accountability by logging hours spent in their office working for the people that elected them, what they worked on, and how many hours each item per week. Their time should be relevant to the issues of their district and why they were elected by their district.

They work for us. Were hired by us. They can do their job or be fired by us.

Effect is correct. You affect someone, or you have an effect on them. Effect is generally a noun and affect generally a verb.

I guess I disagree but that's ok. I'm just not sure how putting someone on "ignore" helps get us different opinions. You understand they can still post, right? You are just hiding or shielding yourself which is what a safe space is. Give me the good stuff and bad stuff, and I will always know who is who. I may not agree with someone 99 out of a 100 times. But we may find common ground on that 1 time or I might actually learn something I didn't know before.

I do understand that. The one person I have on ignore has a picture of Bama Butch Jones with a cigar in his mouth. Nobody can deal with that.
