Nick Sandmann lawsuit against Washington Post dismissed by judge
Quote: rxwineScenario "Unexpected Cream pie to the face."
Despite Republicans prediction to not have the votes, Democrats still impeach Trump. When it gets to the Senate just enough Senators sign on, and Trump is removed from office,
Rational: GOP Secret deal with Pence, i.e., many of the same Trump policies minus all the crazy bs.
Can we give the boot to Moscow Mitch while we're dreaming? He's just as much a worthless POS as Trump is.
I've been convinced for a while that Pence is being kept "safe" for just such an occasion. He'll pop out every once in a while to say or do something dumb, but otherwise he just fades into the background, keeping his nose clean, relatively speaking. Pence is the GOP's failsafe if they really, really, really can't contain Trump any more.

I am asking a favor. Please stop calling people "POS". We know how you feel about the President. I feel similar disdain towards many of the blatantly hypocritical Dem candidates, but I refrain from the childish characterizations that dominate your posts. Do you think you are smart for saying "Moscow Mitch"? You really think McConnell is owned by the Kremlin? The childishness of your epithets lowers any potential value in your posts.

I'm not sure a majority believes in every one of them but would say if the election were determined by that criteria, Bob's side loses.
Of course, the election won't be decided on them so get ready for all sorts of nuttiness. If the election was next week, trump would be rallying for justice for a$ap but he'll find another shiny object to fix on.
Quote: SOOPOOOne of the reasons I like this forum is I often find a post that summarizes my point better than I was able to. I tried to explain to a youngster, who is in the process of taking out student loans, why 'making them disappear' is not the right thing to do. Taking out a loan is giving your word to someone that you will pay them back. I have nothing more valuable than my word. I hated my student loans. Paid them off as soon as I could. Drove a Honda instead of a Lexus. Smaller apartment instead of bigger one. No HBO or Cinemax. Etc.... I despise Elizabeth's Warren's view of America. America is the land of opportunity, not the land of give everyone everything.
I've a riposte, seeing as you seem to be on an respectful debate kick as of late...
Looking at it broadly, it seems to imply that any progress is an entitlement. Since YOU had it this way, another should not have it easier. An understandable approach, and very human, but is it "best"? Taken to an absurd extreme, should we ban financing? Grandpop never got to make payments, why should you be availed of this tool that costs oh so gd much in the way of fees, fraud, legislation, regulation, etc, just because YOU can better wield your funds with it?
I dunno, it seems to rely more on a biased, personal sense of fairness as opposed to what is best for all.
I'd add further, and with no disrespect intended, that the world has moved on since your "when". You came into a country with a plateau'd yet still strong manufacturing industry, a world where a "company man" still existed, where "pensions" weren't rarer than a Bills playoff appearance. You lived in a world where a year's tuition to an Ivy leaque law school cost about $500, or $3,500 in today money. Today, even entry level jobs are requiring 4 and sometimes 8yr papers, and oft start around $18/hr.
There is no debating that our country is going to experience a huge shift in employment opportunities, be it phasing out of industries, automation, or the creation of new sectors of needs. Regardless of what these changes are, we are going to need an intelligent populace with the ability to think. We HAVE to, as the alternative is having 50% of the country moping around aimlessly on the dole.
How we gonna educate these people? Throw 'em into the tuition grinder with a pat on the back and a good f#$%ing luck?

I am sort of a ‘lobbyist’. I represent my profession by meeting with my elected representatives at both the state and federal levels. Apparently since I do not get paid I am technically a constituent, and not a lobbyist. I’d say splitting hairs. But donations are made to these officials (their campaigns) by me and my colleagues. You all would be stunned at how LOW the amounts donated are. It would not surprise me at all to find out that MM is supported by my PAC. (I do not know this to be fact or fiction). But in no way would I feel we ‘own’ him due to our donation. In fact, it usually works the other way. You find a politician that supports your views and then you donate to him or her. You don’t find a politician that opposes you and then ‘buy’ his vote.
I’ll bet MM received money from voting machine lobbyists, paper ballot lobbyists, internet voting lobbyists, voice controlled voting lobbyists, etc.... If you are either the second or third most important elected official in the country EVERY lobbyist wants access. It’s unseemly, but I can promise you that you could make the same exact case against Pelosi, as an example.

The college system needs to collapse to be repaired. Like Basic Training where they tear you down to build you up. Some schools need to flat out close. Others need to adapt. The big important, HS Guidance Counselors need to quit shoving kids to college to get them out of their offices and check off that they sent x% of their schools students to college.
Who makes more money, a person with a general degree or a person with their CCNA cert?
As long as Division I football survives, the public will take years to notice the collapse, a good thing.

This is just my observation as a gambler who travels quite a lot.
In 2016 I had plenty of people vociferously argue why Trump was the man, the candidate to elect. And those same people trashed Hillary (many believed she ran a prostitution ring out of a pizza shop but that is where voters heads were in 2016 around the country)
Lately though I dont see that support for Trump anymore. More and more people I speak to discuss his Twitter and ridiculous lies and how the whole administration is a circus
Im just not seeing support for him on the East Coast at least from NY to Florida. And even when I hit the Spring Fling, in Vegas and California I saw anti-Trump sentiment
So those are my personal observations. Is it scientific, no. But I dont see this massive erosion of democrats support that you keep touting
So people just keep their mouth shut and vote rather than subject themselves to that sort of appalling treatment.

This is because you hang around with ant-Trump people in left wing areas. Check out the rallies. I was out on a boat last week and saw a huge coal barge with a Trump flag flying from the bow.
See, his supporters do not care about lefties crying that illegal aliens are not being allowed into the USA. We do not care about your Russia fantasies. We like our tax cuts and our roaring economy.
You "saw anti-Trump sentiment in California?" As if there was not in 2016.
I would suggest you turn off the CNN/PMSNBC political shows and get a better hobby. Clear your head. Life is great when you tune that stuff off.

I live in Oklahoma, one of the reddest States in the Union, and I rarely see Trump support. Just a bumper sticker every once in a while, but that's about it. I've seen one MAGA hat here in the last three years. During the election, I think I honestly saw more Hillary signs in people's yards than Trump signs. People barely even talk about supporting him.
Still, every county in Oklahoma went to Trump in 2016. But I feel like a lot of people I interact with here were not so much Pro-Trump as they were Anti-Hillary. I'm interested to see how next year is going to go.

And I can tell you there are plenty of boats flying the Trump 2020 in and around Tampa Bay every weekend. But time will tell.
That said last year all I heard was Florida was going Dem and they actually lost a sitting Dem Senate seat in a year that was great for Dems nationally.

It is how guys like Trump are, probably a reason the political class hates him. In politics you talk and talk and talk, avoiding getting things done because someone will be upset about it. Look at how Obama regularly voted "present" to avoid taking a stand or appearing to do something. In the real world, Trump's world, you cannot do this or you get run over.
My brother piloted for a developer of apartment buildings who let him come to meetings. He was always amazed. Guy didn't want to hear little details. He wanted to hear what was on schedule and if not why not. In and out.
I had a boss like that once. Guy could be an SOB but when you dealt with him you got action, decisions. Looked out for his people but if you were incompetent or lazy you were gone. Some people cannot handle that type of management, want to be coddled and waste time talking and talking about things. One thing, when you did have a problem you got his undivided attention.
I can see Trump being like that. He really cares about people, but do not waste his time and do not bring him gobbleygook. He will not stand for it.

Stern said he told Trump he doesn't think he should be President. Trump hasn't talked to him since.

And David Letterman?
"I think he just liked being on TV. I had no sense that he was the soulless bastard that he's turned into.... Everybody says, 'Oh, wouldn't you like to talk to Donald Trump [today]?' And I would. I would just like to say, 'Don, it's Dave. Remember me? I want to talk to the real Donald Trump.' Because I now don't know which is the real Donald Trump, and if the Donald Trump that I was talking to [back then] was the real Donald Trump, how do you get to be the guy he is now? Politics notwithstanding — let's just say everything is great and he's done a great job, but he still behaves the way he behaves — who behaves like that?!.... He used to be kind of like the boob of New York that pretended to be wealthy, or we thought was wealthy, and now he's just a psychotic. Is that putting too fine a point on it?....I don't even care if it's recorded, I would just like to talk to the guy, because, as I said before, he knows me, I know him — what the hell went wrong?!"

Some interesting things in these graphs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_approval_rating#Graphs
From FDR through Bush Sr, you can see every president with some extremely high peaks in approval ratings. And that's four five Democrats and five Republicans. Americans had no problem supporting a president from a different party. Then starting with Clinton, you see the approval ratings fall much lower and much more more flat (not counting the 9/11 spike for Bush Jr). We now base our approval entirely on political party and none of us are going to change.
For the 2020 election, everyone's vote was already decided three years ago. Any change next year compared to 2016 is going to come from people who either die or stay home compared to who turns 18 and show up. I feel confident predicting that the number of people who switch from D to R and R to D will be less than the margin of victory. (for simplicity, we can just lump those of us who vote third party in with the people who stay home)

Interesting... but I kind of disagree with your assessment.
I don't think we SHOULD discount the 9/11 spike. And Obama didn't have any big spikes because A) nothing really crazy happened during his two terms, and B) we were getting over a huge recession. Obama was basically a caretaker President overseeing a wind-down of two wars and some economic recovery.
Trump is just a massive anomaly. Love him or hate, I think we can all agree there's never been another President like him, at least not in living memory. I don't think we can base his "non-spikes" entirely on political bias.
I don't think it's fair to say we base our approval entirely on political party. We need to give it at least one, maybe two more different Presidents to make that call.

I don't think it's fair to say we base our approval entirely on political party. We need to give it at least one, maybe two more different Presidents to make that call.
Not sure there, we are already in the midst of the shift. Those that do not remember before 1990 don't get it. Reagan was the last unifier POTUS. Both elections were just landslides. Bush41 didn't have his gift. He was probably the most popular POTUS during the Gulf War, except for Bush43 in the fall of 2001. Then Clinton changed everything. We did not realize it at the time, but he did.
Clinton never got a majority of the vote. The Democrats rammed thru a tax increase as one of his first big "wins." This is the start of the "no deals" era we still have today. Then in 2000 we had a "lovefest" of an election. Both sides so enamored of data that neither would say much to dare upset this guy who lived in the suburbs of Peoria. In the end, less than 1,000 people decided it.
The sidelight was that neither side "convinced" anyone, it was all about driving your base to the polls, literally and figuratively. It has been ever since.
