So how many more members of the Trump Adminiatration will call their beloved a moron?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

In short, there's no real justification for this tax cut at all. It has the potential to shatter the current economic growth, and the GOP is trying to force it through without any understanding of the potential consequences beyond "if we don't then our sugar daddies won't buy our elections for us next year".

Then let them pass it. If it turns out good, great! If not, the economy will crash again & everyone will know who to blame ;)


And the people who die as a result? Do we just tell them that they are acceptable collateral damage?

The consequences of this shit bill are out of my hands. My senators and reps are already against it, so there's not much else I can do about it. If the Republicans really think it's more important to pass any big bill instead of one good one, let them do it. Sometimes children need to burn themselves on the hot stove before they learn... ;)

In other news, the White House is openly supporting Roy Moore because they want votes for shit bills in the Senate. Guess they can't even convince themselves that they're the moral superiors anymore :roll:

Now, the Reds are the Republicans and the Russians are our friend.

Most professors are liberal, not leftist. If they were leftist I would not be getting into trouble for arguing leftist positions.

The fact that there's a definite clear lean towards the left in terms of average professor ideology is a problem imo
optimally, it needs to be near the center (and with a party ratio closer to unity)

Why do we need quotas for political opinion? A serious question, although feel free not to answer since not really trump related.

To neutralize the effects of bias, of course.
At least get the overall Democrat-Republican ratio below 10:1.
