She has a point.  The occasional missile strike or bomb drop is no substitute for a cogent military strategy.  I am glad to see the Taliban and their ilk get theirs, and I am all for giving the military latitude, so long as they aren't butchering civilians.  But what is he actually aiming at?

Given that its the Cheeto Jesus, that is a very hard call indeed.  But dropping bombs is easy.  Wining wars is quite a bit harder.  How long have we been in Afghanistan?  It has been called the Graveyard of Empires for good reason.
So what you and Lizzy want are for us to announce our battle plans for the world to see so they can change their tactics. Perfect. Nothing like announcing a surge and simultaneously announcing your withdrawal date like Obama announced to the world.

I just googled Elizabeth Warren and strategy and got nothing prior to the past few weeks. Surely such a strategist was asking the same ducking questions of Obama over the last 8 years, wasn't she? 

Come to think of it, I don't recall you demanding that Obama set forth his strategy either.

Are you kidding me?  The Dems will scream like stuck pigs if Trump gets to nominate either or both of Kennedy's and Ginsburg's replacements.

I predict that Dems will try to invoke and expand the Biden Rule and say Trump has no right to get a nominee confirmed with "only" three years left in his term.

Get the popcorn out for this one.

I counted at least two messages from Trump:

(1) "If you must kill civilians, do it by blasting their bodies to bits the way civilized people do, not by using chemical neurotoxins."
(2) "Policy? Policy!? I don't need no stinking consistent policy!"
You're right. The better course of action would have been the status quo:

1.  Issue strongly worded condemnation.
2. Take hashtag selfie #bring back our Syrians; post on internet.
3. Join UN in anti-Israel resolution.

I'm convinced Putin is secretly loving this. Finally a worthy opponent.

I know I am.  We have a MAN at the helm now with balls and everything. THANK GOD.

Change the Senate parlimentary procedures. That takes a 2/3 vote.

The procedure that allows this is not new. It is part of the long standing senate parlimentary procedue.  What we know as the nuclear optin was first threathened in 1917, in 1975, 2013 and now it appears that politicians have finally become fanatical enough that it will be used.  The option has been there for over a century. There is no on and off.

Isn't it sad that wikipedia is better informed than the entertainment media?
1917?  I didn't think the filibuster was around that long.

More importantly, if McConnell wants to keep it for legislation, that tells me it should be abolished for that as well. Let's get something done for once.

Steingar just wants Tillerson to do what Obama's SecStates would do - issue a strongly worded condemnation, draw a line in the sand, do nothing, and then endorse an anti-Israel resolution in the UN.

You guys are amazing.  The Russians create a giant refugee crisis by overruling our proposed intervention and then bombing civilians in Syria.  Once the refugee crisis hits the EU they do everything they can to destabilize it including rigging local elections.  And now that there's intel that perhaps they had a hand in rigging our election all you guys want to do is indite whoever leaked the intel.  The Russians interfered in our election and you guys don't give a crap because your Cheto Jesus won.  I never in my life would have believed that the GOP could be soft on the Russians.  We might have won the Cold War, but Putin is winning the peace.  You guys are such stooges for the Russkies, its unbelievable.  And they're going to win, too.  They're going to keep on rigging elections, they think Democracy is some sort of joke and you guys are the punch line.  You really think the world will be more secure with an ascendant China and destabilized EU?  Because that's what the Mango Man is giving you. 

An Independent Prosecutor is a damn good idea.  Let him or her investigate the leaks along with what got leaked.  Give the counsel a broad mandate, get at the truth.  This story sin't going away any time soon.  Were Trump the least bit intelligent he'd bet out in front of it, but I don't expect that to happen ever.  Perhaps his minions in Congress can stall long enough for the story to die, but I have doubts.

The saddest thing is I bet there is really nothing to it at all.  I bet the cover-up is far worse than the crime.  Flynn will only be the first victim, which is a real shame.  From the sounds of it I don't think he did anything wrong.  I wish they'd give him his immunity.  I'd like to hear what he has to say.
I see Joseph McCarthy has risen from the dead. Welcome to Pilot Spin, Joe.

You can have your inquiries all you want. Knock yourself out. And by all means start your own fucking thread about the Russians.

MY OP was about a different government - OUR government - interfering with an election, and potentially the peaceful transition of power from one administration to the next.

YOU may be OK with having a branch of the government spying on their political opponents, but I'm not.  It's felonious, and people need to go to prison. Period.

Spin Zone / Susan Rice Ordered Unmasking of Trump

At what point will people start going to prison for this public corruption?

Trump can start draining the swamp by having our Attorney General start charging public officials with corruption and sending them to prison. That would include Rice, Huma Abedin, Lois Lerner, etc etc.

Typical Washington comity says to let such thing go so they aren't characterized as political witch trials, ala some third world shitholes. Fuck that. Someone needs to start paying the price for political corruption.

Should the Dems take the senate in the future, the filibuster will be dead and gone as quickly as Bill could nail an intern in the oval oriface.

So it may as well be gone now so the GOP Senate can actually get something done.

I will now reveal my bleeding heart.  I truly believe that no one should make a profit from the misery of others.
Ok, Stalin. From whom will you be extracting professional medical services at the point of a gun? 

The 13th Amendment generally precludes your line of thinking, but just for fun, when are you going to start giving away your services?  Certainly it is unfair and a generator of great misery to saddle students with a lifetime of debt that they can never pay off just for the privilege of sitting in your class getting browbeaten with your liberal point of view. If anything is misery, I think that qualifies.

Spin Zone / The Truth About Islam
« on: March 29, 2017, 12:22:14 PM »
What I don't understand are women liberals that are silent on the treatment of Muslim women and get so outraged at the idea of fighting radical islam.
Because. Abortion. Full stop.

Can you imagine if feminists railed against Muslim rape of little boys and little girls, 9 year old Muslim brides, Muslim sex slaves, Muslim genital mutilation, and Muslim assault and Muslim "honor" murders against women with just half of the outrage and marches that they have against this alleged "rape culture" that is supposed to exist in "white America's" colleges?

See Duke University.

Stan.  I wasn't saying that at all.  Maybe I wasn't clear.  I have no problem with public displays of religion in the public venue.
No, I know you don't, and I didn't mean to infer that you did. I wasn't clear either.  I was just exclaiming about the "Freedom FROM Religion" types who make such an unreasonable stretch.  In other words, I have no patience for people who fight to have all evidence of religion erased from the public square.

I don't have time to address the prebate system, Joe, but what you describe shows the inherent stupidity of having health insurance being tied to employment with an employer willing to provide it.

Groups should be able to get together and form their own pools - AOPA, CAF, EAA, NRA, etc. to provide competition in the health care arena.

Before Obamacare, Wisconsin had a high risk pool called Badgercare. It was designed precisely for people like your family as you described. And the States is where this should reside, not FedGov.

Leaving the disastrous obamacare in place continues the total 100% ownership of the democrats who passed it through reconcilliation with ZERO republican votes.
FAILURE to repeal this piece of shit lies 100% on republican shoulders.
And if this doesn't get fixed, and soon, I predict a House electoral bloodbath in 2018.
