Yep, it's sooo much better when POTUS thinks of himself as the most powerful entity in the universe.  Humility has no place in politics.

Interesting parallels

probably a few people need to understand what the Executive branch is responsible for and what the Legislative branch is responsible for.

Unfortunately there's little difference as of late

Has someone changed the Constitution?

Well, we have an Executive who thinks that Congress not acting gives him the authority to do it anyway (DAPA)

A divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has affirmed a federal district court’s nationwide injunction against the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program in Texas v. United States. Twenty-six states filed suit against the program on both procedural and substantive grounds. The Fifth Circuit’s decision yesterday increases the likelihood that the lawfulness of DAPA will be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court, perhaps even as early as next spring (depending on how the administration responds to the ruling).


In an extensive, 70-page ruling, Judge Jerry Smith (joined by Judge Jennifer Elrod) concluded that the states had standing to challenge DAPA and were likely to succeed on both their procedural and substantive claims.

Can we cut the distractions? What about the issue?  Are you saying that because this particular article cites her that the issue isn't credible?  There are tons of others.

Massive studies were done on the link between the MMR vaccine and autism - CDC; American academy of Pediatrics; National Academy of Sciences, and the UK National Health Service.  All found no link between the vaccine and autism.

So why should we waste our time about the allegation that the Government is using vaccines to give BLACK children autism?

If the link doesn't exist, why should we buy into the racial aspect of this conspiracy theory?

Because there was one paper published that said different.  The fact that paper has been retracted, and the researcher convicted of falsifying data makes no difference.  Plus Jenny McCarthy said so!


Now, can we please get back to complaining about Chemtrails?

I don't always agree with George Will and he is definitely establishment, but I would probably side with him over Ted Baxter on basically any day ending in 'y' - in full disclosure, I did not see the exchange and have not watched any video of it.

I don't always agree with Will either, but his opinions are universally thought through and carefully considered.  Certainly cannot say the same of O'Reilly. 

Let's look at Uncle Bernie, our favourite socialist:

Sanders also said he has “serious problems” with the popular car-hailing company Uber. He called it “unregulated." 

OK, Uber is certainly unregulated, however non-leftists generally consider that a feature, not a bug.


So, of course, Bernie would never use such a dangerous unregulated company, would he?

So, a company that he has "serious problems" with, gets 100% of his campaign's business.  Not some, not most, but literally ALL.

You know what bugged me the most about "The Martian"


The #1 tag line "I'm going to have to science the shit out of this!"


No...you need to engineer the shit out of this.  You're not coming up with new stuff, you're taking what you already have and know and applying it.  That's engineering, not science.
