https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-racist-media-euphemisms-racially-charged_n_5d2c7377e4b0bd7d1e1fd73c They'll use euphemisms but fall short on calling a spade a spade. Donald Trump has been and will continue to be a racist.

Trump is a racist, he has always been a racist. This is nothing new. The media certainly will not call him out on it. Politicians won't call him out on it. The MAGA crowd never cared and support his racist policies. But he is hanging himself, albeit slowly. His support with white women is eroding. Mainly due to his boorish behavior. I say boorish, because the racism does not bother people en masse, if he were more eloquent about it, ala Ronald Reagan, it would be a different story. He knows what he is doing, I firmly believe this calling out of these congress women was very calcula

It is absolute garbage that a small midwestern state that is 90% white with 6 electoral college has this much sway in presidential politics.

Roberts would be the judge, but I do believe the Senate itself actually sets up the prosecution, etc. Which ultimately falls to McConnell as majority leader. Also the Senate preceedings are held in close door sessions. So we'd get the house version of events, but not hear anything about what the Senate does. And there is no doubt Trump would go Bat-shit. I for one am worried about that. Not the twitter machine, but the fact he will have control of the US Military. I don't put it past him to start a war or whatnot. Oversight is their job, I am not saying they should still investigat

To what end? It is not like after POTUS is impeached, he is removed from office. So many steps to go. The short hand version of the impeachment process is this. 1. Someone requests impeachment (no problem there) 2. A resolution is drawn up and sent the Judiciary Committee. Hearings and investigations will happen. This undoubtedly be a circus shit show. 3. If the Judiciary committee believes there is an impeachable offense (no doubt a vote on straight party lines) it goes to the fully house for a vote. Which needs a simple majority, likely but not 100%. This vote will come in late

Surprised no one has started a 2019 thread, but since it is opening day, here goes at least for predictions: AL East Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Tampa Bay Rays Toronto Blue Jays Baltimore Oriels AL Central Cleveland Indians Minnesota Twins Kansas City Royals Chicago White Sox Detroit Tigers AL West Houston Astros Oakland As LA Angles Texas Rangers Seattle Mariners NL East Philadelphia Phillies Washington Nationals New York Mets Miami Marlins Atlanta Braves NL Central Chicago Cubs Milwaukee Brewers St. Louis Cardinals Cincinnati Reds Pittsburgh Pirates NL West Colorado Rockies

I doubt that anyone here is rooting for an economic downturn, but the likelihood is that we will see one.

This went exactly as I predicted. As for impeachment, I think it is pretty much off the table. Pelosi has said as much. I am sure she caught wind of the Mueller report before it dropped and knew it is best to leave it be. The best course of action is to start giving POTUS enough rope to hang himself. Economic factors point to a major downturn 4th quarter this year, and early next year. Also we have this shit show that starting Israel. I don't see how this is gonna end up good for anyone involved. Plus the looming mess in NK. I unfortunately see us in bad shape by this time next yea

So the Mueller Probe is set up wrap soon: https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/20/politics/special-counsel-conclusion-announcement/index.html So what if Mueller comes out and says, "we did a full investigation and we have caught who we caught but there is no evidence of wrong doing by the President and his inner circle." I do think this is a likely scenario. I can't imagine what the left will say after hanging all hope that Mueller will bring POTUS down. And the right who sees Mueller as illegitimate and a secret deep state democrat.

As funny as that is, clearly the person who wrote the the speech for him intended it as a metaphor. Everyone knows you can't get over real walls.

He just praised Saudi Arabia for low gas prices. Other than being factually incorrect, it is incredibly stupid. Sometimes I think he is doing the greatest piece of performance art ever, or he is the dumbest man on the planet.

If one thing I have learned in the last 2 plus years is the main stream media is incapable of dealing with Trump's hypocrisy.

There is no way in hell that Session's left without a direct order from POTUS.

Panic mode POTUS fires Sessions.

"your second amendment rights are under siege, but they will never be under siege while I am president". Donald Trump on the 2nd Amendment. Hey let's do an EO to get rid of the birthright citizenship. Donald Trump's thoughts on the 14th. I firmly believe the only Amendment POTUS can name is the 2nd. And this is the only one the GOP cares about.

Another mass shooting. I wonder which brave Right Wing pundit is gonna calls this a false flag operation.

I was listening to Rush this afternoon, he was going on about how this whole thing was distracting from the GOP's good early voting polls. I am not sure about that, since I don't think it is a big story anyways. But what it definitely has pushed out of the limelight is the murder and cover up of a Journalist and US resident. Not too many people are asking any more questions about the Saudis and the tie to the Trump family.

The World Series this year just seems a bit meh. I guess the Dodger and Sox just seem so boring and predictable. I would have really liked to see how Milwaukee would have done in the series.

I haven't revisited old Who in a long time. But there are some things I wish NuWho would do that Old Who did. Especially in regards to companions friends. Non Earth basedNon 21st CenturySomeone who is an adversary or working against the Doctor (secretly)Most of the nu-who companions have been 21st century earth humans. Only a handful has been from a different time and or planet (Jack Harkness, River Song, Nardol). I think it is high time we got some different type of companions.

If memory serves, the 4th had three (Romana, K9, Adric; the aft fore mentioned Tegan, Nyssa, Adric) and the 5th had it quite a bit (the seasons w/ Tourlogh, Kamelion, Tegan). But again it has been a while since I have revisted those seasons. For being such a good Doctor the 5th had some pretty shitty companions.

Have you forgot about the Adric, Tegan and Nyssa days of the late Tom Baker / early Peter Davison era? Oh God Adric sucked. Also I didn't think anyone watched shows when they were broadcast anymore.

Anyone watch the first three Episodes of this season's Doctor Who. So far Whitaker has impressed me, she is good in the role. There is room for improvement, I feel as though her Doctor is looking for validation from everyone, which is something past Doctors didn't really do. Also I am glad they aren't making too big of deal (in the show anyways) about the gender change. I would imagine it would be a bigger deal if the regeneration spanned companions friends (not used to that at all). And Ryan Sinclair kinda sucks IMHO.

Canada is now America's cooler brother that can get you weed.

So Red Sox v Dodgers? Red Sox in 5.
