  1. Shocked to wake up to this....

     

    Terrible, terrible news. People are insane. What is a realistic way to protect the audience at an event like this? I can't think of any.

     

     

    We can keep the victims in our thoughts and prayers and then forget about it in 3 days time, until the next mass shooting.  This is the only thing our country is willing to do.  Any other realistic solution is too hard, complicated and results in yelling and peoples feeling's getting hurt.  

     

    Wash, rinse, repeat.   

  2. The GOP isn't failing, they are just succeeding at a slower pace. Because of the uncertainty created by what they are doing insurance premiums are going up this year, which they will blame on. The ACA. They are doing all they can to shut down the ACA websites this year, scheduled outages every week during the sign up period...they will of course blame it on the ACA.

     

    The president swore an oath to uphold the laws of the United States, yet here he is actively trying to sabotage a law. Too bad the GOP are solely focused on overturning everything obama did and getting as much $$ to the ultra spoiled mega rich billenials to care about the rest of the country.

    Except now they won't be able to repeal and replace as a reconciliation bill. Whatever they replace it with has to have support from Dems.

  3. Nice deflection by POTUS, instead of talking about how the GOP has utterly failed in their singular focused issue (repeal and replace) we are talking about the NFL, Steph Curry, and the national anthem. Do not think that it wasn't on purpose.

  4. I disagree, very much. It was disgusting. As were the after-party pics. He was not shunned or laughed at. I'm sure even Trump interpreted it as a sign Hollywood would forgive Trump in a heartbeat.

    That will be the case if (and that is a big if) POTUS is removed from office. He would be pardoned and probably be on dancing with the stars or the next season of the apprentice.

  5. Well apparently the GOPs plan to kill ACA is just wear the people down and slip something in with out us noticing.  

     

    Yeah, so if you want to kick millions off of medicare for tax breaks for the wealthy, go head and sit on our hand watch your cat videos, otherwise call your freaking senator.  Do it, do it now, do it tomorrow, do it every single day.  

  6. I find it funny (ironically) that he goes among the "liberal Hollywood elite" and be welcomed, ditto to the dreaded Harvard.

     

    I think Spicer thought he was laughing with him, whereas the the Hollywood types thought they were laughing at him.  But in essence they validated his fuckery.  

  7. Chicago's bats have been on fire recently. Sox have 16 runs, 24 hits in todays game. Cubs won 17-5 yesterday.

     

    It has been promising especially since they got swept by the Brewers in the series before.  Really this series against the Cardinals will tell a lot.  If they take 2 of 3 odds are the division will be theirs.  If they lose 2 or get swept, it is up for grabs. 

     

    So what about this moving the Brewers v Marlins to Milwaukee BS? Yeah I understand the need to move it from Miami, but a neutral site would have been more fair to the Marlins and everyone in that tight division race.  Who, other than the Brewers thinks having the Marlins play a "home game" in Milwaukee is a good idea?

    This is a hell of a piece. Brings into blinding focus the awful reality of the racism behind Trump's election.

     

    Good read, but unfortunately those that need to read it probably won't, or if they do get passed to them they will denounce it as fake news.

     

    What appears to have gotten the ire of the President's supporters is the deal he made with Dems over the debt ceiling. 

  9. Granted, I only scanned the transcript, but I was shocked to see that I didn't find his Afghanistan strategy to be totally insane.

    Of course not, it was too vague and empty to actually mean anything. This like everything else this President has done is a distraction.

     

    Remember a week ago he called Nazis fine people. That cannot be brushed aside.

  10. I think this article gives a bit a perspective on why the President continues to say (and tweet) the most amazingly stupid racist shit.

    It is not that he is flat out racist, he is obsessed with one thing, Donald Trump. His entire presidency and his life have been about that.  

     

    Nope, I was wrong, just straight up racist.

     

    What a fucking asshole:

    Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!

     

    This is what he is referring to:

    Jesus, can someone do something about this fuckwad?

  11. Pence is a special kind of stupid.  He not only is really dumb, he like POTUS thinks he is the smartest guy in the room.  Compounded on that he has believes he has religious moral superiority over everyone else.  That is a dangerous combination.  

     

    I firmly believe that the powers that be within the GOP never thought Trump would have won (BTW Trump didn't want to win either) and they wanted to dump Pence in the dung heap that should have ended his political career.  Now the GOP is stuck with a orange faced baboon and man who is willing to put his backward Christian beliefs over the good of the country.  Plus anyone who supports or signs a "Religious Freedom" law should get a special kind of scorn and ridicule.  

     

    I honestly think regardless of who is POTUS from this administration, it will be the same terrible horrible legislation.  Maybe not the sheer insanity from Trump, but still damaging legislation.   

  12. He can shoot somebody and not lose fans, but I think the law of the land is another matter. Dumb public sentiment is not going to stop prosecutors from prosecuting.

     

     

    If the GJ indicts people and trump Pardons them, they will still have been indicted, which may not mean much to trumpers but it will mean something to those who are not die hards.

     

    Pardon me if I am cynical.  His candidacy and now presidency has been declared dead numerous times, but yet here he is, saying stupid shit and proposing stupid legislation that panders to his white nationalist base (and lets be honest here, the President and his surrogates are not trying to hide their racism anymore).   

     

    So until I see his stupid orange mug bumbling through a congressional hearing and articles of impeachment are voted on and passed.  I have very little hope that this man will be removed from office.  Hell, until January 20, 2020 (or god forbid 2024) and I see a new president sworn in, I expect this gas bag of human feces to sit there in the oval office an ruin our country.
