If Pence could have, he'd have been so on board with impeaching Trump that it've happened already.

And I don;t think the BSA is going to take-up an armed junta against the POTUS... ever.

And the others are for the most part reitred Supreme Court Justices. I don't figure any of them are in any condition to perch out with a sniper-rifle on the South Lawn to flip Trump's off-switch.

Jk, the decline started before them. 1965 did it in for us.

If Nixon had won in 1960 and not that thug shanty Irish alcoholic, we would have never gotten the '65 immigration act.

I like that you take issue with my use of a political label to describe other people and not the part where I say I think you look like you're looking for excuses to ignore assault allegations.

Given that he used the phrase "thug Irish shanty alcoholic", I can guess.

Wrt America not being great, it's just a vague phrase that speaks to republicans reactionary, elderly base. There's no specific issue being addressed. America never had a wall and Clintin was never in prison which is what most animates Trump. At most, the phrase refers to punishing certain oppressed groups that are 'out of line' (e.g. feminists, minorities, LGBT). More than likely it doesn't mean anything specifically though.

I'm not sure about that... doling out punishment sounds like work... maybe we can.. like... cut back on punishing people just in the hope to make less fortunate people feel less shitty about themselves?

Mindblow: Doing less is better than doing more.

I mean, if someone wants to build a statue in honor of Ted Bundy Hitler [it must always be hitler]... why not?

They need to make one of those wheel charts so that women know when the appropriate time to bring up sexual assault allegations is. It's so tricky.

February 29th, between 4 and 6. AM or PM? Well, if you have to ask you're surely not serious about your allegations.

It wasn't blind. It was based on your own words and I didn't imply anything worse than what you were implying.

Also, I think you're exaggerating the value of the reputation of your username. I'm pretty sure something only counts as libel if it causes real harm. I'll leave it there though. You're obviously an expert on law as well as the minds of people making sexual assault allegations so why question your wisdom?

I take issue with both, but it's much harder to have an honest discussion on a serious topic with someone who flagrantly mischaracterizes me.

No.

"No" what? As your link says:

Trump filed formal notice of his re-election committee with the Federal Election Commission on the day of his inauguration, Jan. 20, 2017, and he already has held campaign events in the battleground states of Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.


The man has been actively campaigning for over two years. So "no" what?

Not really. You could have been insinuating that comparisons are hard for me, in which case it would have been a dismissive and contemptuous "no" by implication without actually saying "no." Of course, it also could have been a concession that, because comparisons are "hard" or, inexact, that that would yes, have been a concern.

I can't, of course, imagine why you wouldn't want to give a plain answer to a question that highlights a certain inconsistency on your part, but whatever.
